The barn was normally fairly calm, with just normal animal sounds and perhaps Professor Wayland, or a student with permission wandering about talking softly to the animals.

But right now, the barn was not calm at all. The animals inside seemed to be growing restless. The horses were stomping their feet and moving in their stalls, the Fwoopers were rustling their feathers and a general unrest seemed to be coming over the barn.

What had all these creatures so spooked?
