While this bird is also known as the 'Irish Phoenix', they does not actually possess the same qualities -- such as rebirth -- as the normal red phoenix." But that didn't make the Augurey any less special. They were still special, beautiful creatures.

Ella chuckled fondly and nodded towards Manolo. "Yes, that is correct. And you don't need to raise your hand." She shot him a friendly wink and began walking slowly backwards to keep the group moving.
"The Augurey is mostly found in Ireland, yes, but there are still a fair amount of them in Britain." For example, that one. They got lucky!

Then his department head asked what they knew about that bird. He spoke up, "Thats an augurey mam, they are said to look like and underfed vulture which this little guy certainly does,thats it's norm which is rather facinating, and their cry is supposed to signify rain. Their feathers would also make rubbish quil cause it would not hold ink.". This one knew quite a bit, which was good. She expected that of her employees, particularly of the ones who had been around for a while. "Exactly. Well said, Jack." Ella continued walking, making sure her group wasn't falling behind - in stride, or in information.
"Like he said," Ella said to the rest of the group, particularly to those who didn't belong to her department. "The Augurey's cry foretells rain. So as long as he doesn't make any noise, I think we'll be good." But one never knew in a rainy place like Britain. Even in the summer.

Ella's question made Derek feel like he was back at Hogwarts again, in a CoMC class. That wasn't one of his worst subjects, so he didn't mind. But, just like he did at school, the 26 year-old kept quiet and just watched the creature while other people talked about it. And then there was this quiet guy. Ella wondered if he was ever going to speak up - not that he had to, but she was curious to know if he was at least having fun.
"Come on, then, let's move on." Ella waved them on, moving on through some more low ferns, grassy plants and other greenery at their ankles. "Feel free to chat, make friends, have fun. This isn't Hogwarts, you know. We're allowed to have fun." And Ella didn't know how long it would take before they found the next magical creature. |
