Cool Facts- The dwarf cassowary, also called the muruk, is the smallest of the cassowary species alive today. Despite their small size, dwarf cassowary still sport a dagger claw on their inner foot that can be up to 9 centimeters long. As with many birds, female cassowaries are larger due to needing to carry up to 8 eggs at a single time. After the eggs are laid, the female peaces out and leaves the male to raise their offspring as one of the best single dads in the animal kingdom. It’s his job to teach the chicks how to forage and hunt. Due to governmental protection, dwarf cassowary have increased in number as hunting decreases.

Regulus looked down at the small pile of parchment squares before him. One note for each day of the last two weeks. They kept appearing in his bag.
They said what Regulus could only describe as ‘nice’ things, though his frame of reference on that subject wasn’t exactly vast.
It was driving him insane not knowing who was putting them there. He put charms on his bag to alert him if someone went in it. He even contemplated cursing it, but then he wouldn’t keep getting the notes, and they were becoming the best part of his day.
He was running late for Transfiguration that morning and ended up walking face-first into James Potters's over-muscled chest. His bag flew open, setting off the charmed alarms. He quickly shut it, muffling the noise. He’d been about to apologise when he saw who he’d collided with.
“Take up some more room, why don’t you Potter!” He brushed past him, making sure to jab an elbow in his ribs as he did. Reviling in the little ‘Umph!” That passed James’s lips. Merlin, he hated his brother's best friend.
He made his way to his usual seat at the back of the classroom and opened his bag again.
Inside, on top of everything, was a note. He picked it up with trembling fingers.
You shine brighter than anyone can see, even yourself.
He felt a strange prickling feeling behind his eyes. He hadn’t felt it for years, not since Sirius left.
Carefully, he placed his note in his inside pocket, close to his heart. And turned his attention back to his lesson.
