The Other World
(I wasn't originally going to name any of the owls in Elna's chaw except Otulissa's owlets, but it would have been really confusing otherwise.)
Elna flew into the hollow she taught her chaw in. Otulissa and Cleve's owlets were there, as well as two other owls. It was a small chaw no doubt, but the time of the Others wasn't important to most. "Alright everyone, I have some good news today."
The male owl leaned in to the female. "I hope it's better than the usual good news." He whispered. He probably didn't think she could hear.
Of course she could. So she said, "Actually Pornal, I was going to tell you we're going to the Other time tonight. But if that's not good enough news for you of course we don't have to go."
Arison covered his beak with his wing; Elna suspected he was trying not to laugh.
Pornal meanwhile lurched forward. "No, no. That's good news."
Now Arison was definitely laughing. Pornal flashed him a death look.
Elna shook her head at the top of hollow. She was getting used to her strange chaw. "Alright, let's go." So she led them out of the hollow and down to the roots.
Claymore followed Elna closer than the other owls as they plunged into the tunnel leading to the Other time. "Where are we going?" he whispered.
He probably thought that wasn't something they were supposed to know. But of course they were. So Elna spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. "We're going to Hogwarts. I'm also showing you the Owlery, and we can meet Hedwig."
Eva let out an excited gasp. "Can we see Buckbeak again?"
Elna smiled. "Maybe." She decided not to mention probably not, because Buckbeak had disappeared.
