It was early in the morning when Harry Potter was sitting in the great hall doing a crossword puzzle. He was just about to fill in 2 across when an owl came in and landed on his quill pen, which made it difficult to continue his puzzle. Harry decided to shun the owl as it had disturbed his quiet time when he noticed the owl had a letter that was addressed to him. Harry immediately felt bad for giving the disruptive owl the cold shoulder and went to grab his mail. As he reached for it the owl's eyes became as huge as saucepans and he appeared very angry. Harry was confused, because usually post owls were not so mad when delivering mail.

He tried to grab it again but the owl made a very rude gesture with its wings. Harry was very offended and thought the right thing to do would be to get Hedwig and have her wrestle the owl. But then Harry noticed its eyes, they were red and glazed over. Harry jumped up and ran up to the Gryffindor common room to get Ron. Harry had no experience dealing with rabid post owls, but he knew that Ron had a brother that worked with dragons in Romania and therefore Ron would obviously be able to help him.

When he got into the room he went to jump on Ron who was covered in blankets to wake him up.

"Ron, Ron, wake up! I need your help. There is an owl with Rabies in the great hall and he won't give me my letter! I know your brother works with dragons so naturally I assumed you would know what to do." he trailed off. He noticed that Ron wasn't as solid as usual so he moved the blanket back and gasped. Ron wasn't there; it was just a bunch of pillows. Harry was disturbed by this so he yelled out loud to acquire the attention of the other people in the room.

"Neville! Seamus! Everyone! Ron is missing! And there is a rabid owl downstairs holding a letter of mine for ransom!" Harry yelled and yelled and got no response.

That's when he saw the writing on the wall. In bright neon colors it said "THE OWL DEMOLISHED RON VOFRTR"

Harry stood there, frozen in shock. He was an expert at crossword puzzles, so he quickly unscrambled the words "HES LORD VOLDEMORT FOR THE WIN".

That wasn't just a regular post owl sitting in the great hall right now, that was a death eating (and apparently Ron eating) owl!
