He was grumpy when she called him. So, little pest had made some big trouble, ah? Stupid daydreamer. If she knew what dreams really were like...Oh.

Turns out she knew. He immediately understood, of course. His face may be like quicksilver and ever changing, and she may have wings and be surrounded by smoke, but such things were hard to miss.

He sat down with her, unusually gently. They had some chit chat- she knew unusually much about Courts and her situation. Part of him wondered does she serve them. Other said that if it was truth, she would just play victim, unaware of her situation. However, it turned out that she lost all of her powers, while having only 2 Contracts: the Trivial Reworking of Forge and Control Element of Elements. He himself didn't have any Contract and old trelawney just had Omens.

Well, it looked as if he would finally crash into favor.

It was Rainy night that he came. To normal person he would look like pale, blonde, vlue eyed middle aged man, who is completely wet and even has washed out face. To his kin? He was example how gruesome transformations can be.

''Well, Lovegood, here is your mentor. Podgorica Autumn Court's Witch of Bitter Winds-gender neutral title. Master of 25 Contracts, out of 35. 67 clauses out of 175. He is best suited to teash you.''

Filch left, while Luna stared in wonder. Aside from strange title, she doubted that creature could be called man. His hair was wet and slowly turned in water. Most of his back was empty and filled with water, which fell like waterfall from it. His legs slowly turned in –guess what, water, and formed big pools around him. Rivers flowed out of his sleeves. She could hear ocean around him, and feel moisture in air. Even his skin seemed like water-it was pale,traslucent and rippled. She could swear that she saw goldfish flowing in his cheeks, sand on some place and that his nose changed shape. She could see his veins, that for moment looked like thorned plant. His clothes were simple, baggy and blue. He had much of orbish bracelets and necklaces on him, as well as strange bag. Around him was gray fog and sparkles of power. He seemed old and tired.

But most interesting were his companions. One was normal cat, with brown fur, black lines over it and amber eyes. Second cat looked similar, but with colors blending one in another and worried gaze. Third was giant, white ball og long haired fur ( that at end had strange golden like colour) with small ears. Fourth was thin, white, with long black ears, long tail with fanged plant on end, eyes that changed colour and splashes of various colours-mundane and insane-all over it. Fifth companion was made of water, shifting size and colour every moment, but always vaguely cat-like.

''So lets start.'' He wishpered, in voice like rain.

So, new chapter is up!
