After laying the Dragon Egg down on the rock in the quest “Poached Egg,” Poppy had to leave quite abruptly. Let’s check in with her to make sure everything’s alright. The quickest way to find her is to fast-travel to the closest Floo Flame to her location, the Beasts Classroom Floo Flame. Then simply continue down the snowy path until reaching her location.
A Poachers’ House Call¶
Poachers accosted Poppy Sweeting’s Grandmother in her own home due to someone recognizing Poppy in Horntail Hall. She couldn’t find a better excuse for being in a bit of a state, in all honesty. The poachers assumed that Poppy had taken the Dragon Egg straight home; luckily, she didn’t and her Grandmother was safe.
The Dragon Egg has caused more devastation than anticipated. The Poachers ransacked the Sweeting home, shouting, “We’ve cost them everything,” which is partly good news. Poppy not only decals that she should have thought about how cunning the poachers are, but they’ve also stolen Gran’s journals containing rare and valuable creature research. Did we mention rare?
She believes the Poacher’s next target is a Snidget, thought long extinct by Wizardkind. It’s a small bird with golden feathers with rotational wings, according to Samantha, a fine catch for Poachers indeed. However, it’s so fast that the golden snitch was based on the Snidget, used in the sport hundreds of years ago.
Poachers and Wizardkind are the reason Snidgets are all but extinct in the first place, with their feathers and eyes fetching a price much higher than Dragon Fighting could achieve. “Lay in the moonlight” is the only cryptic clue Gran wrote in her journals regarding their location, which means Poachers may have difficulty finding them.
Against her Grans’ wishes, Poppy wishes to find the Snidgets and stop the Poachers, although she recognizes that she won’t have the element of surprise on her side. Our protagonist mentions recruiting allies that can’t stand Poachers and value creatures. Remember that awkward exchange with the Centaurs when hunting down Horntail Hall? They sound like the perfect fit. They agree to go and speak to them, but Poppy needs time to think about how to approach them best. After stating she’ll be in touch soon, this short and sweet(ing) side quest ends.
