Unlike Draco, Poppy loves to fly. She’s at her happiest when she’s off the ground – the higher the better – although she usually has the comfort of a solid tree bough beneath her feet. Being aboard an OCD hippogriff who she’s reasonably sure doesn’t like her doesn’t fill her with a whole load of confidence, but she has to trust that, as he’s part of Draco’s soul, Peregryne has a weedy streak which would prevent him from hurling her in mid-flight.
They’ve dumped the kids and Penguin in the Lost Inlet for the day; Draco had wanted some time to themselves, a request to which Poppy had been only too happy to fulfil. She accepts Jasper and Iodine and tolerates their presence in her life, but she has little if any affection for either of them and much prefers it when they’re not around. Generally speaking she prefers it when Perry isn’t around either (especially when she’s had to leave Penguin behind because she knows Draco doesn’t like him), because he spends a lot of his time clicking his beak and rolling his eyes at her, but you can’t have everything in life. Besides, riding a hippogriff is infinitely more fun than plodding along on the ground. Gripping Draco’s waist much more loosely and leaning out sideways much farther than a sensible person would, she watches the landscape below change with interest. They seem to be heading back to Midnight Shores, which is mildly disappointing, but at the last minute they swerve off to the left and land in a patch of ground Poppy doesn’t know.
It’s a pretty place; a previously undiscovered moor with vast romping lands, a few trees (yay) and rocks scattered about and a picturesque cottage with a thatched roof, lined by hardy wildflowers. Draco opens the door and Poppy strolls inside as if she owns the place (which she does), examining the room (a kitchen) before proceeding to explore the rest of the house. In the bedroom she pauses, lightly touching a pretty blue vase containing late daffodils.
“Home,” she whispers, and the whole world explodes.
