"Owls carry mail for us," she explained. Draco was the only one in the family who received mail or packages at all though the post so Lucio not knowing about it had surprised her for a moment. Seeing as Draco received post in the privacy of his study where they couldn't bother him unless summoned, it had been some time since Hermione had seen an owl that wasn't untamed. She saw owls frequently in their lands and in the villages beyond but knew at once by looking at them, they were not the sort trained or used by magical folk for post.
