Slipping out of the ice cream parlor with a dish of rocky road, Selena glanced around at the others that were gathered around the outside patio - most were fellow students at Hogwarts, though none of which she recognized by sight. Finding one of the tables closest to the street, she sat down beneath the cover of the vibrant umbrella and set the bowl directly in front of her, also carefully setting down the cage she had been carrying around for some time. A stop in Eeylop's had her coming out with an owl that she didn't even buy, but it was a gift to cover a supposed debt someone owed her father.
Still not thinking about that entirely logically as she should have, Selena nevertheless had taken the gift - writing home was difficult when finding a school owl that would get mail there in one piece was an art. Passing a couple owl treats through the bars of the cage, she returned her attention to the ice cream in front of her and started eating it, trying to slow the inevitable melting process. Her pocket money was now gone, but she had felt the need for a little extra chocolate - and sitting where she was also gave her an opportunity to watch people as they walked by. There were people passing here and there that she would recognize, but she never spoke to any of them, preferring silence and a form of solitude for a moment.
