She was going for the letter! She was! Was she looking at it? Could she see anything??!? Was there enough left of it to send it????
He wasn't sure there was, but maybe... Maybe if he came out, she would be smart enough to figure it out. That the hedgehog pawprints all over the messed-up parchment was not his only handiwork, but that the rest had been written in his scratchy scrawl. Aubrey had been around enough hedgehogs in his time to be sure that ordinary hedgehogs were not clever enough to do that.
He wasn't sure any unsuspecting student had the smarts to unravel this mystery, though. Still... it was worth a shot, wasn't it?
Besides, even if she didn't, he didn't want to get left up here in the owls' lair.
Aubrey breathed a deep breath, steadied himself, and skittered out from under the water-bath towards the girl. Oi, he declared, squeaking a little to get her attention, over here, then.
