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

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.

(Not unless we discover a nice, doesn't want to eat us variety, which I don't think exist.)

I suppose the Prefects are taking attendance. Artie, if you hear any of them ask about me, could you say that you saw me before supper and I was feeling a bit queasy? That would explain me not being in the Great Hall, and with luck they'll assume I'm in the Hospital Wing.

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.

No, you should leave, and quickly.

I've read that thestrals will attack and eat their young if they're wounded. You could be in danger from them as well as the other creatures.

Leave there this instant. Do not risk your lives.

The thestral foal will either heal or be eliminated by its herd. That is theirs to decide, I'm afraid.

And, Miss Lovegood?

I expect to see you immediately upon your return. Come here first of all. We'll explain your absence from the lecture at the very least. (And set my mind to rest.)

(You get a thorough talking-to?

I'm sorry I sort of dragged you out of there, even though you didn't want to leave right away. But with Div and Nick being new to everything, it'd be important to be extra careful, you know?

Even if it didn't end up working out for the foal.

But I figure it has a better chance now than it did, yeah?

We can check and see next week.

I'm really sorry we couldn't do more, Lunes.)
