Five hours after entering Fire Country,
Harry understood where the country got it's name. Even with spells to
make the stifling heat and humidity manageable, Harry felt completely
drained when he stopped for lunch.
As he gulped down his icy water, Hedwig
woke with a start. She tightened her grip on his shoulder and tilted
her head in curious caution.
Harry cast a Homenum Revelio but the
spell didn't show any people in range.
Something else had caught Hedwig's
attention.
But other than the rustling of trees
and droning buzz of insects, Harry couldn't hear anything to be
worried about.
Hedwig hooted, sounding more concerned
than cautious now.
Harry stood. “What is it?”
Hedwig jumped into the air with a hoot
and zoomed forward.
Trusting her, Harry followed her
through the forest and sped up as he heard faint sounds of distress.
The forest shifted into a swamp-like
terrain that seemed unnatural. With no swamp plants or creatures like
flies and frogs, the swamp seemed like it had been plopped down there
as though someone had set off the Weasley's Portable Swamp.
It didn't take long for Harry to find
the source of the distressed cries.
A small fawn struggled in the swamp's
thick dark mud. It looked worn out, exhausted and resigned to it's
fate. But the moment it caught sight of Harry, the fawn perked up and
made a tired snuffling sound.
