Chapter 239: A Luxurious Way to Travel
After realizing that Fred and George were only joking, Kyle handed Ratton over to them. However, Ratton was still somewhat uneasy, hovering in mid-air and keeping a wary eye on the twins.
"Hey, we were just joking!" Fred said, looking a bit embarrassed.
Ratton, however, pretended not to hear.
"You really shouldn't make comments like that in front of owls," Kyle advised. "But he's agreed to help deliver your packages."
"So, what does he eat every day? Owl nuts?" George asked. Errol usually didn't need special food; if they ever needed supplies, they could easily pick some up in Diagon Alley.
"No need to feed him; he'll find his own food," Kyle instructed. "Just give him some water every time he comes back from a delivery."
"I think it's best if we buy him some owl treats as a peace offering..." Fred said, grimacing.
"That's fine," Kyle chuckled. After all, discussing tailing another owl right in front of Ratton—it's no wonder he was suspicious. Even Errol would likely give them the cold shoulder for a few days after a stunt like that.

"Oh, by the way, when will you be back?" Fred asked, glancing up at Kyle's attic with a hint of longing. "We've already been caught twice by my mum while making Skiving Snackboxes this week... it was a disaster."
"I'm not sure," Kyle replied thoughtfully. "Probably just a day or two. I'm only visiting as a guest, so I shouldn't be gone long."
