Annabella bound up the stairs to the owlery, she flung her bag onto a table and scrabbled through it until she found her quill, ink and some parchment. Dipping the quill hastily in the ink she scrawled her message hurridly

Theo,

You'll never guess what just happened, I'm sure you felt your mark go, well I followed it! He's back Theo, I just met him, gods you never did him justice, his mere presence is harrowing and elevating at the same. I can't believe he's back! I think I was like the third person to see him! But Theo I don't think he was glad at the turnout, come as quick as you can

All my love,
Bella

She then ripped the parchment just below where she'd signed her name, dipping her quill back in the ink she wrote another letter

Kristopher,

He's back Kristo, I saw him with my own eyes. Answer the call and come as quick as you can.

Love,
Belle

She called her owl down from the rafters but realised it wouldn't be wise to send the letters unguarded, she pulled a box out of her bag, flicking it open she pulled out a block of green wax. She folded the letters up small so that they were unreadable from the outside then finding a set of matches from the box ignited one with her wand, she held it under the wax until the colour changed violently to black, she allowed it to drip to sel the letters proclaiming to each one "Nott, Morsmorde", she seals flashed and returned to green, replacing it in the box she pulled out a small metal seal containg the Nott coat of arms, imprinting it in both seals she packed the intire kit away. Whilst that particular brand of wax wasn't outlawed she was quite sure it was only a matter of time until the ministry figured out how it worked. Her owl hooted happily as she showed her letters "This ones for Theodore, and the second one is for Kristopher, rush back ok" the owl nodded and nipped her finger affectionately. She tied the unmarked letters onto the birds little legs and watched as she took flight

Camui caught the scent of the one who had been crying before in the potions room and took off running at full speed up to the room where the birds were. The cat in him licked it's muzzle at the sight of all the owls but the human in him refused to hurt them. He sat by the entrance, watching the owls with bright eyes.

Bella jumped a little as she saw the cat in the doorway, she realised she'd walked straight past it earlier as she stormed out of the potions lab. She wondered at the fact she hadn't realised how magnificent a beast it was, she regarded it closely and waited to see what it would do. She wondered if it was an animagi, technically there weren't supposed to be any, none ministry registered anyway.

Purring, the large cat padded up to the girl and rubbed up against her legs, making circles around as he did so. He also kept an eye on the owls in case they decided to attack and chase him out.

"Ah so you're a friendly beast" she said grinning, she tickled the creature behind it's ears and knelt down next to it. Catching it's glances towards the surrounding owls "don't you worry about them, leave them alone and they'll leave you alone", not strictly true, the owls were all eyeing the cat suspiciousl but took comfort in her trust of it. She ran her hand down the creatures back marvelling at how soft his fur was

Camui's purr grew louder as he arched up to her touch. Ah yes, he might be a were-cat but this was bliss. She was just as good as the other girl. He rolled onto his back for her. Batting at her hands playfully. He knew he should take to his human form but he got more attention this way.

She laughed "and playfull too" she scratched him under his chin then tickled his chest amazed at the silky softness

After a few minutes of the belly rubbing, he rolled back up to his feet and stretched lazily before padding to the doorway and sitting outside. He turned and looked at her, as if waiting for her.

Feeling somewhat bemused that she was following a cat around she rose to her feet and followed the creature from the room, it wasn't like she had anything better to do

Camui sat there, waiting for the girl to lead him where she wanted to go but he would follow her none the less. He looked up and gave a soft rumbling fruffing sound before nudging her leg with his head.

She laughed gently "okay okay, my choice then, let head down to the lake"

Camui bounded down the stairs and followed her out towards the lake, running circles around her happily.

(Moving to the Lake to bother the skinnydippers)
