The
Kat-napping
Somewhere, high above the clouds the sprit of
a ex-stuffed parrot wings its way to it's just rewards.
'Squawk... Those pesky Kids... Squawk'
Unknown to Kat, she was being watched. A tall
dark stranger was lurking on the edge to the forest, watching
her. They were covered in a cloak that disguised who they were,
even what they were. They watched for a while as Kat cried,
and then crept over to her.
They bent down and to an observer it appeared
that they whispered something to Kat. Kat stopped crying and
no emotion showed on her face anymore. She got up and the stranger
put a hand, or what you would assume is a hand, on her shoulder.
Then he propelled her gently towards the forest.
Anyone watching would have seen Kat apparently
walking with a complete stranger into the depths of the forest...
Two black cats had been watching with interest.
They too followed the cloaked stranger into the forest, but
at a distance. Their mistress might need them, but they didn't
want to be caught.
They almost run into a dark shape that's been
hiding in the woods. "Meeow!" It protests as Scully almost steps
on it. The two startled cats realise its Glueclaws, Morticia's
cat who - as they now realise - hasn't been seen in Hogwarts
or with Morticia since ever Joss died. Not that Tish had missed
him much... Glueclaws looks at the two cats and at Kat and yawns,
then he joins the cats and follows Kat.
The stranger led Kat into the forest. Deeper
and deeper they went until they were near the centre of the
forbidden forest. No one ever came this far in, except maybe
Hagrid. Although it is possible the others had been here recently
with all the events that had been going on.
They approached a small clearing that was guarded
by two giant spiders. As they passed the spiders saluted with
their front right legs. In the clearing there was a big dark
cauldron that had an interesting green stain inside. And behind
it was a small hut.
Suddenly from behind the spiders made a trumpeting
sort of noise. The cloaked stranger span round to see a small
red sphere turning spinning to avoid the spiders trying to catch
it. It was small, the size of a marble, and for a moment Kat
had enough freedom from the spell that held her to see it and
recognise it. Maybe this spell wasn't that tight.
As she watched the stranger raised his hand and
took out his wand and in a dark, sinister voice shouts 'Cruciatus!'
then gives a evil laugh. He doesn't bother to watch the sphere
spinning away in pain, and he doesn't notice the look of pain
and concern that shows through on Kat's face, he just continues
to lead Kat towards the hut.
The stranger led Kat into the hut, to a small
room that had a couple of chairs in front of a log fire. He
made Kat sit down in one of the chairs, and left her there.
Knowing that his spell would hold her.
Mulder and Scully had followed Kat and the stranger
into the forest. Scully was unhappy, about the stranger. She
recognised him. She and Mulder kept back in the shadows. They
had seen the spiders and the strange sphere but did not bother
about them. They were worried about Kat.
They watched as she was lead into a hut. They
waited in a nearby tree, and watched as the hooded figure whispered
to one of the sentinel spiders and wandered out again. Scully
told Mulder to watch out for him, and meow if he came back.
Scully leapt down and crept into the hut as quietly
as possible. She found Kat in a chair by the fire and jumped
on her lap, purring.
A short while later Scully emerged again. She
was looking more nervous now. She found Mulder. He had been
watching Glueclaws and the two of them moved out as quickly
as they could away from the strange cat. Glueclaws was following
them.
