Wow!"[/i][/color] Lavender stared at the girl who had spoken to her, amazed by this piece of information. Suddenly she realized that she didn't know who this was, and that this person had just answered all of her questions. Not wanting to be rude, she smiled and added [color=ec008c][i]"Thanks, by the way. The owl tower sounds nice! Do we get to go there when we want to send letters? I'm Lavender, by the way.
