Order Only: We've been delayed in the Forbidden Forest

[alt_luna]

I know, I know, it's dark and the lecture's about to start. But we've found a thestral foal, and it's hurt; it has a torn wing flap and it seems to be in quite a bit of pain.

Sally-Anne or Madam Pomfrey: do you have a suggestion for treating the wing? I don't think we should linger here much longer but aren't quite sure what to do.

I think some Acromantula silk would be useful for a dressing, but Colin and Divyesh are being quite firm that we shouldn't go looking for any now.

Do you have any dittany with you? (Surely you do!) You can use it on the thestral's wing, but don't pour it directly on. Put it on a clean cloth, like the edge of your shirt, and dab it.

We do, but I wish we had more. It has helped heal the torn edges, which has helped with the pain, I think, but it doesn't quite re-join the webbing back together.
