She was paying more attention to the birds than she was the man, so of course all Hermione noticed was that they suddenly diminished in number, all save for that last pesky one that seemed intent on relieving her of her ear. But even he was soon gone, and Hermione quickly brought a hand up to her face, assessing the damage. From what she could tell, she had a few scratches and was bleeding just a bit, but the worst of it was that itchy feeling of far too many feathers and talons and beaks having just surrounded her.

At length, once she was sure that her body parts were at least in the right place, she returned her attention to the man who luckily no longer saw her as some sort of threat. Still breathing hard from her recent scare, she tried not to huff as she replied, "Then maybe you could answer a few questions. Where am I, and why use ravens for messengers when they're so fickle, and why is my hand glowing, and do you know how to get to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

Wincing a little, she reached up and squeezed at her earlobe that Baron had been attacking moments ago, feeling quite a bit of blood. She won't be able to put in earrings until that healed up. "And do you happen to have a bandage I could use?"
