"What the hell?" Jon muttered, pushing his way between the two hippogriffs. The three of them played their own version of tag, for crying out loud, there was no reason for them to have this kind of reaction to Tommy. "Knock it off."
He ran a hand over each of their necks, finally turning his attention back to Tommy when their feathers had settled. As he got closer, he could feel the dog's unease. Kneeling down, he said quietly, "Something's got you spooked, huh?"
Glancing over his shoulder, Tommy let out a soft growl.
Of course.
Hogwarts. Or something in that direction anyway. With a sigh, Jon pushed to his feet, grip tightening around his wand.
"You two stay here, got it?" Heckle snorted, Jeckle echoing the sentiment. And really, Jon wasn't really going to say no to some help since whatever it was had Tommy so wary, but he repeated the command again before looking down at Tommy. "Coming?"
The reluctance was clear even though Tommy had obviously come to get Jon, but after a moment he followed as Jon started back towards the castle.
