Hermione has noticed that they’ve come very close to her window, the window she happened to open by magic. She can’t help but feel that everything is connected, that the owls are meant to tell her something important. She knows that night birds have a reputation for the occult. She has watched reruns of Bewitched with her mother. She often wrinkles her nose like the intrepid witch, Samantha, but she does not look half as smart when she does it in front of the mirror. Still, she knows there must be an explanation for her "difference".
