Duck! Or Perhaps Goose?
Nothing is more relaxing then not having any classes and sitting outside in the courtyard.
But who are we kidding? Hogwarts? Relaxing? Not for long.
On the cobblestone floor. That's where Annie sat. Why the floor? Well she couldn't trip over it. Or at least not as much as say a chair or bench. Behind her she rested her head on the bench, face turned upwards to the sky. Then
patter. patter. patter.
What. the. hell.
She turned her head to the side, trying to get a better listen to the noise. Her breathing slowed. The girl's mind raced with thoughts. Could it be a magical creature of some sort? What has webbed feet..? What could sound like that?! Annie hummed then an even more chilling sound hit her.
honk.
A duck? The pattering came closer. She tensed up. Then another noise.
hisssss.
Annie had it and stood up alarmed, the loud pattering running off in the opposite direction.
A goose? No.. maybe more of them. Crashing and pattering from nearby confirmed her thoughts. What had happened now? More importantly how was she able to capture them. If any professors found random geese wandering around the school. Annie shook her head at the thought. That wouldn't end well.
She dusted herself off and whispered "Hurricane" A small almost static noise filled her head as the link turned on. "Uh Dale.. we got a problem in the courtyard.. A feathered, honking problem. Get over here as soon as possible please and thank you."
