Something found, danger abounds
Draco doesn't know what to think about it when he finds a silver egg in the woods by the house. He was out counting the thestrals that had taken to gathering near the house, some stayed and others came and went, but they were becoming a way station for the winged horses. They tried to keep food for them, tried to pay attention to the number of them because it felt like the more they attracted, the less they were reminding the students back at Hogwarts of how much they had lost.
But there, half under a left by a Abraxan that had wandered by and he was working on taming and training for his own mount, there was a shiny silver egg.
There was a time when Draco wouldn't have known what it was, not having paid much attention to Hagrid and the others that taught about magical creatures, but now since they started attracting them, he was learning. An occamy should be in a litter of eggs, so this means it was likely stolen and lost.
Gathering the egg close to his chest, cradling it against the warmth of his body, he looks up at the Abraxan, considering the large horse for a moment. "Did you see anyone?"
For the egg to be there, it means someone has been amongst the herd and that means they've been much too close to the house for his comfort.
The winged horse just stares back at him.
"Some help you are," he says, patting it's neck and then rubbing the horse's nose before turning to head for the house. Harry needs to see the egg, and they need to plan for visitors, and what they're going to do with an occamy.
