imamommy:

Curious what Hermione's patronus had to say for her, here's a bit I 
looked up on otters:

River otters are very intelligent and very curious. Scientists have 
found they have a remarkable memory. They are able to do a lot with 
their front paws, even manipulating very small objects. River otters 
love to travel. They can have a home range of anywhere from 5 miles 
to 47 miles from "home". River otters are aquatic but may travel 
several miles over land to reach another stream or lake. They are 
very sociable animals and usually travel together in groups of two or 
more.

The body of the River Otter is tapered so they can swim through the 
water without any resistance. Their head is small and tapers into its 
neck and their body is slender and sleek. The tail is thick and 
tapering. The otter is very flexible. Some people thought the otters 
didn't have bones, only cartilage. They can roll up in a ball and 
have their nose touch their tail.

They make many different sounds. They chatter, chuckle, grunt, snort, 
and growl. They also warn other otters of danger with a shrill 
whistle.

*********************************************************************
The "highly intelligent" sounds like Hermione, as does alerting 
others to danger with a "shrill whistle."

Cheers!

who wonders if Hermione's otter has anything to do with Ron, does 
that mean Harry will be going to the next ball "stag"?
