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.

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.

(We haven't seen any adults yet. I'll tell Nick to keep an eye. Div can't see them, but he's holding the light to make it as bright as possible.)
