Ottery, I loved this post! My goodness, I'm glad Ottery paused to think before he ran after the emissary. Who was (she?), and who was (she) s'pose to give a message to? Was there s'pose to be a rendezvous and Ottery happened to show up before the meet could take place. If Ottery stays there maybe the one that was s'pose to be there will show up. What's after (her, him) and is Ottery in danger? He can't hide cause there's tracks that can be followed. Maybe Buckbeak can come and swoop him away to a safe place to observe. Maybe Dumbledore shows up, and the two of you go after your muse :litebulb:so you can save me from my imagination. This was a great post Ottery. You're the best.
