Drabble 99: Hoot

Winky knew something was wrong when the first hoot from Hedwig came. It was three days before the last exam of Harry's final year and the darkness which seemed to surround the castle was at its darkest. The owls continued to hoot, as if in a language only they knew and understood. Suddenly there was a great rush of wings and Winky ducked in time too see the owls fly off. She knew the time had come, and was ready. Aparating into the castle, she let the other elves know and soon the final battle between good and evil began.
