41. THESTRALS
“OH MERLIN WHAT ARE THOSE?” Beatrice yelped, flinching backwards and dropping her open packet of Bertie Bott’s. “BLOODY BOOGER!” she growled, bending over to put them back in the packet. She’d wash them later.
“Chill Tris, they’re Thestrals. Don’t you remember learning about them last year?” Nina said, unable to comprehend her sister’s revulsion.
“No, yes… but why are they here?”
Nina knew. “Well… you only see them if you’ve witnessed death,” she said.
Beatrice blinked a few times, trying not to remember. “Oh,” she said in a small voice. So that had been why she hadn’t noticed them before.
