Susan had barely managed to sit at her desk with her cup of tea, when an owl came scooting in and landed on her desk. It messed up her neatly arranged pile of folders and case papers and she swore at it. As a fitting finale, it ended up tipping her teacup over, and it was only that her wand was out that she could avert a disaster.
But as she read the note that she pulled off the owl's leg, she realised something was definitely wrong.
Calling in to her colleagues, she let them know there was an emergency at the Broomsticks. Cho was the only other one she actually saw in the office, and the other girl said she'd be available for backup if she needed it.
Susan ran to the pub, noticing the back door was open, and she headed upstairs. "Hello, Seamus!" she called out. "It's Susan Bones. Are you all right?"
