Zee ran up to the Owlery, nearly out of breath. In spite of the urgency of her mission, she took a moment to recuperate. The soft hooting of curious owls surrounded her. Zee looked up to see many wide, glowing eyes gazing at her.
"Hey there, I've got a mission that's going to require quite a lot of you. Are you up for it?" she asked, walking to the center of the room. Some of the owls 'two-who'd at her, others ruffled their feathers.
"I bet you've probably felt something happening out there, especially if you've flown over the forest lately. Basically, there's going to be an attack on the school. We need you owls to fly a patrol, and stand sentry, so we'll have some kind of warning when the attacks come."
Zee realized that all the owls in the tower were now staring at her, and they'd fallen completely silent. Zee swallowed nervously, and continued,
"There'll be two groups that well need to be told of the attack. One will be in the Entrance Hall, and one will be in the Headmistress's Tower. Can you do it?" she finished.
As one, all of the owls let out a low 'whoo', and then left the tower. The mass exodus left Zee feeling a bit stunned.
Well, I guess I now know the owl word for 'yes'. Zee thought, somewhat sarconically. She then turned an about face and headed back down to the Entrance Hall.
