Corvin mirrors his position. Just as they are about to start the round, an owl hoots overhead. They lower their weapons. Harry doesn’t recognize the owl so it’s not from one of their regular acquaintances. The tawny owl hoots again; it comes in and when it’s just above Harry, it drops the soft package it carries. Corvin offers his arm out for the owl to land on while Harry catches the package. He removes the attached envelope, holding the package under his arm to open and read the letter.
