Tayla decided she wanted to send a letter to her parents, and remembering the Chocolate Frog Heather had given her the night before, wanted to give it to her little sister April.

Quickly scribbling a message for Zara, Ari, and William from her room upstairs, she ran back down the common room and left a note on the table next to the cookies Kurumi made.

Zara, Ari, Will: Gone to the Owlery. Meet you at Lachlan the Lanky in a while? Then we can head for the Great Hall and Black Lake. ~ Tayla

Hoping they'd find it, she left the common room and headed to the Owlery.
