Lysander knew things were dangerous, but he had to check on his place of work. He told his father and brother where he was going, took out his wand, and left the house. He knew Emmy and Posy would be fine there, in a house full of animal lovers and two otters. Lysander's kitten thought they were toys and liked to pester them far too much, but Emmy just liked to be in their pool. She left the otters alone as long as she could splash around in their pool, which Lys would've laughed at if he at all felt like laughing at anything.
Perhaps his reaction to being stood up by Demelza was too extreme, but Lysander wasn't quick to open up to people. He'd thought she was someone with whom he could do that, and he'd been wrong. He didn't like being so sensitive and so easily cast down, but it was just how he had always been. He walked quickly to the other part of the village where the pet shop was, keeping his head up so he could see if anything looked out of the ordinary. He hoped it wasn't the monsters again, but things felt similar. He didn't know what it was, but it concerned him and drove him to see if all the animals were all right.
He was nearly there when he heard a sound behind him.
