Just noticed this lovely little tidbit at the very end of Chapter 84:
What on Earth is that supposed to mean? Who or what is cawing in Hogwarts or on the grounds, and how does she know something about it that we don't? Or am I missing some terribly obvious connection here?
I'm very sorry about this. It referred to a part of Ch. 85 that I simply couldn't work out in time for the posting deadline. I've removed the corresponding lead-in from Ch. 84.
If I get Ch. 85 to work as originally planned, I may put it back in later.
It's so totally Snape.
Fawkes.
Yes. And it absolutely was meant for her.
I'm pretty sure it was meant for Dumbledore. If it was meant for Hermione it could have just fire-ported to her.
It's done similar things before. It called her to the bullies (probably) without her seeing it.
It's plausible that that was actually Fancr, vavgvngvat uvf pbasyvpg rfpnyngvba cybg.
There's still an aftermath chapter left I think - it may be we'll see first hand what Fawkes was cawing for.
I thought it was the phoenix, myself.
Snape may have used the sound of a phoenix call to guide Hermione in the past.
