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.
