I think this may be my favorite entry so far! I love the owl lore you have created here (the Kn'owledge, the training) and the plot was a great device to bring Snape and Harry together (plus the image of the naked owl was vivid and unexpected). Both characters very IC, but showing development due to their life experiences, and I liked your Ron as well. This was just a treat from beginning to end (and the title was perfect)!
