A heavy pouch containing the mentioned 50 galleons had in fact been tied to the owl's leg, and Ginny went to untie the parcel. She'd just about unworked the knot when she fully, truly realized what this 'payment' was: a bloody bribe. Money meant to keep the healer faithful to the pack that had adopted her. Like she needed a small fortune to keep her with Remus and the others
