After placing all the necessary notification and protective charms back at the Hospital Wing, River trudged the vast expanse of the grounds and found himself at the Wooden Bridge with a dog parade behind. Roscoe and Bumi, his rescue Newfoundlands calmly jogged behind their pack leader with their tongues out enjoying the fresh air and new environment. Brazil had been too humid for the two, so the drastic change of climate was welcomed with open arms...erm, paws.

River immediately stopped at the entrance of the bridge, and the two fur giant babies automatically sat on the ground waiting for his command. The Healer procured a bright red ball and showed it to his companions. With tails wagging, they knew what to do with it. “Ready? Fetch!” With a flick of the wand, the red ball flew towards the other end of the bridge and the two huge dogs immediately ran after it. Before they even got the chance to snatch it, the ball had been summoned back by River, forcing his two dogs to make a U-turn, and back to him.

River had the ball hovering a few meters away from him however. He didn’t want to be trampled on by his own rescue dogs.
