After reading the letter, Eino looked up and addressed the bird. "Oh, this is wonderful news!" He had been waiting for his tour of the Ministry, but often forgot about it so this definitely was a pleasant surprise. He folded the letter back and stuffed in his pocket. Now, he knew he owned the poor owl a treat or something but he didn't have any owl treats. "Dear me, I am most apologetic, mister owl, but it seems I do not have anything in return for your splendid service!" The boy checked his robe's pockets then his backpack, but all he could find was a box of Berty Bott's every flavor beans. He removed it from his backpack and poured some of the beans on his hand, then presented them to the owl. He even made sure to pour some of the best beans for the owl, and nothing like vomit and troll bogey. "This one is liver, this one sausage, and that one is bacon flavored. I do hope these will suffice." And if not, he was in for a good pecking.
Herjenmie didn't understand a word the boy spoke to him, he didn't speak human, but he did know when treats were about to be given, his large owl eyes moving to the boy person's pockets when he started to search. He reached forward and grabed the treats, just missing the boy's fingers, onomnomnoming them. They tasted nothing like chocolate frog, more like the stuff that one postal worker tried to feed him.

He wasn't satisfied then, and he wasn't satisfied now. But he wouldn't bite this time, he still had more work to do. With one flap of his large wings he was airborn, another flap and he was heading out of the pathways.
