Forty.
First partridges- they were lovely, really, so talkative and they'd never been in the castle before- and now turtle-doves!
Finally, this castle's doing something right! This is certainly a splendid surprise. If anyone needs me, I'll be with the birds. Someone has to tell them that they're not going to get eaten, I suppose.
And I'm sorry, to the Gryffindors. For...messing up that couch. I'll clean it, I promise. I just didn't remember that the birds love to leave droppings all over.
