It didn't even occur to her that Stasya might have taken him out of the barn, though maybe it should have. The first year's mind was consumed with panic instead, and she was in the process of sprinting back to the castle to find Stasya and assemble a search and rescue party RIGHT NOW when she saw Stasya strolling around the courtyard.

Skidding to an ungainly stop next to her friend, Emmeline gasped out -- it was kind of hard to breathe after all that running --: "Stasya! Thank Merlin! It's Dobby, he's..." As she paused for breath, the 11-year-old noticed the missing squirrel in question was perched on Stasya's shoulder as if nothing had happened. Well, if he'd run out of the barn for some reason, Stasya had clearly already found him. Relief flooded Emmeline and a big smile split her face: "He's here! Hi, Dobby!"

The idea that anyone would have worried about Dobby not being in his enclosure in the barn had never occurred to Stasya. Of course, part of that was because she knew he wouldn’t go anywhere without her, but then she also had figured Professor Wayland knew she came to see the squirrel whenever she could, not to mention her baby puffskein now too. It was the idea that others might panic that hadn’t ever really occurred to her, but that only made the appearance of Emmeline as she had stopped in front of her that much more surprising. Her first thought was that her squirrel had done something in the barn that she hadn’t noticed before she’d taken him for the walk, but then there was that pause.

People kept pausing when they saw her, and it was starting to make her wonder what was going on. First there was that weird thing in Charms when Derf had suddenly stuttered again, and now Emmeline. It was definitely weird, but then she’d grinned at her friend’s words as Dobby had scampered down her arm to look at Emmeline closer like he was returning the greeting. “Course he’s here. I’m showing him Hogwarts, or at least what I think won’t make anyone angry.” They were still outside after all, even if she still didn’t really understand why she couldn’t bring the squirrel inside the castle. Why she couldn’t have him in her room. She knew Emmeline wouldn’t mind him, anyway.
