Small Army
Soren, Twilight, Elna, Otulissa, and Flame smashed into the fireplace. "It's a good thing we got out of the way fast." Arison said from outside.
The owls scrambled out of the fireplace. Otulissa looked around. "I wonder if we could find this place in our time." She said softly.
The other adult owls looked at each other. They had never really thought of it. It was sad to think Hedwig was dead in their time. In fact, it would probably be sad to see the kind of shape this place was in. "Let's just meet this Buckbeak." Soren said, turning to the owlets.
Claymore nodded. "This way." He led them out the window. With eight owls that could fly, they could carry Midnight and Flame, so no broom was needed.
"Now, Buckbeak will want you to bow, if he bows back we're fine." Arison explained.
"We should we have to bow?" Otulissa asked.
Arison shrugged. "Don't know. But he's a nice guy once you do." Otulissa looked skeptical, but kept flying.
Arison, as usual, was first to come up to Buckbeak. He bowed, taking off his glasses so they wouldn't fall off. Buckbeak bowed back. "Buckbeak, I brought some more friends and family this time. And it's, kind of a lot of owls."
Buckbeak gave him a raised eyebrow look. "How much is a lot?"
Arison shrugged helplessly. "I'm not going to lie; we could probably make up a small army."
Buckbeak gave this some thought. "Well, recently I had enough Others to make up a small army visit me. So it's not a problem."
Arison smiled a spun his head around. "Hear that guys?" he called.
They had, they all came out and bowed. Some of the ones who hadn't seen Buckbeak yet looked very shocked. Buckbeak bowed back to all of them. "I used to live in this world, but I never knew there were creatures called hypogriffs." Elna admitted with awe.
"Not many people do. I believe Hagrid was teaching the Others about me. Though one of them was horribly insulting! I attacked him. I thought Hagrid would be pleased, but he doesn't seem to like it." Buckbeak looked puzzled.
"Others." Midnight said in disgust. "I bet he didn't like it because you hurt one of his kind."
Buckbeak once again made the 'giving it thought' face. He sighed. "I suppose. So, who are these?" he nodded his head at the four new owls.
Soren walked forward. "I'm Soren."
Before he could continue Buckbeak asked "Does that mean you're the king of the Ga'Hoole tree?"
Soren blinked in surprise. "Yes. How did you know?"
Buckbeak jerked his head at the owlets. "They told me."
"Right. Well, this is Twilight, Elna, and Otulissa."
After introductions were done, it was agreed the owls would spend the rest of the night here, and take the fireplace back in the morning.
