Author Notes: I can't be bothered to write in a Cockney accent the whole way through this fic partly because it annoys me to see words spelled phonetically (if that makes sense (e.g. 'loike', it's not said that way anyway)), partly because I'm lazy (shocking I know) but mainly because I have faith in your imaginations and know you'll be able to hear the accents without me spelling it out (and even if I did you'd probably change the way they were pronounced :D). One more thing just to make things a bit clearer, I've made Mungo and Teazer talk about their human family as 'Them' or 'They'. So the random capital 'T's aren't grammar mistakes and that's who they're talking about.

BANG!

'Ouch!'

'Sorry!' moaned Mistoffelees as he rushed forward to pull me up for the 3rd time. 'Are you all right?'

'Yes,' I answered gingerly twitching my tail, arms and legs just to corroborate the fact for myself. 'Isn't the object to teleport me backwards so I disappear and reappear rather than blast me off my feet in the general direction?'

'This isn't easy all right, Rumpleteazer,' he snapped. I glared at him, my eyes narrowing at his tone and his frown softened into a half smile as he saw it. 'Sorry. I'm just frustrated. I've never had this problem with any of my other spells, I can usually just do them but I've been practising this for a week and I just can't seem to get it right.'

'I'd noticed,' I agreed feeling a week's worth of lumps and bruises all over my aching body. I continued hopefully. 'Maybe that's the problem though. Maybe you've overworked yourself. Take a break and try again the day after tomorrow, there's no rush and it'll give me time to heal.'

'You know me better than that. I won't be able to rest until I've done it.'

'Fine, you might not need a rest but I blooming well do! You may be one of my best friends, Misto, but even I have my limits and right now you're pushing them.'

'One more go,' he ventured. 'Please?'

I looked at him, his eyes wide and pleading and his head cocked to one side. I felt my misgivings shifting as if they were being removed by magic (surprise, surprise) and sighed.

'All right,' I agreed. 'One more go.'

He grinned at me and reluctantly I felt my own face follow suit.

'Thanks, Teazer, you're fantastic.'

'Too right I am. Now make this quick, I need to find Mungo and tell him about this dinner party They've been planning. It'll be a brilliant r…erm…'

'Don't you two ever get fed up with causing trouble?' Misto asked me disapprovingly. He had never been a fan of mine and Mungo's petty theft.

'Oh, where's your sense of fun?' I winked. He shook his head wearily and moved back so there was a large space between us.

'Ready?' he asked.

'As I'll ever be,' I sighed and closed my eyes to brace myself. This time, however, instead of the customary thump in the stomach I felt a bizarre tingling sensation all over my body as if I'd just sat down by the fire after being out in the cold. This was accompanied by a steadily growing white light shining ever brighter through my eyelids. I grinned realising that this time he must have done it right.
