James- 7 Albus- 6 Lily- 4

"I wanna pway outside!" Lily exclaimed. "I wanna go out in the woods!"

"Not the woods." Albus told her. "It's scary in there."
"It's not scawy!" Lily said indignantly. "Pwease come wif me, Albie."

"I'll go with you, Lils." James told her. "Looks like Albus is a scaredy cat."

"I'm not a scardey cat!" Albus glared at James. "I'll come to, Lils."

"Yay!" She exclaimed excitedly, and she grabbed both of her brother's hands. "Wet's go!"

She dragged both boys outside and into the woods. They hadn't walked too far when they heard weird noises.

"What's that?" Albus asked, slight fear to his voice.

"It's nothing, Al." James told him. "I don't hear anything."

"Listen!" Albus urged his brother. "There's something there!"

"No there's not." James told him, though he too listened carefully, and before long he too heard the noise.

"It sounds like a kitty!" Albus exclaimed, finally placing the recognition of the noise. "Like Crookshanks!"

"A kitty?" Lily looked excited. "Get it, Jamie!"

"I can't get a kitty, Lily!" James told her. "Mum won't let us keep it, anyway!"

"Just get it!" Albus urged his big brother, and James sighed.

"Fine." He walked toward the noise, and disappeared from the sight of Albus and Lily.

"Are you okay, Jamie?" Lily asked worriedly when she couldn't see him for a little while.

"I'm getting the kitty!" James reminded her.

"I know!" Lily called back, and after not too long, James came from behind wherever it was he was, and in his arms was a little black kitty cat.

"A kitty!" Lily exclaimed. "I wanna hold it!"

"Be careful, Lils." James told her as he passed her the cat, and Lily held the cat close to herself and she cooed to it. "So cute." Lily mumbled. "Wet's go take it home!"

"Mum wont' let us keep it, Lily!" James told her.

"Yes she will." Lily said firmly. "Mummy loves me, and kitties."

"Okay…" James' voice trailed off, but nonetheless he followed both his little siblings through the woods, to their normal back yard, and to the back door of their enormous house.

"Mummy!" Lily called into the house when Albus opened the door for her, and helped her in.

"Coming!" They heard Ginny call, and in moments she was in the house. "Why are you holding a cat, Lily?" Ginny asked, her voice full of concern and she raced to her daughter and took the cat from her. "Lily! You can't just pick up animals you find outside, love! They could have sicknesses on them!"

"Is she gonna get in trouble?" James asked, and Ginny turned on her son.

"Why did you let her bring it home?" Ginny asked. "You're supposed to watch out for your baby sister, Jamesie."

"I know," James admitted.

"Well we can't keep the cat." Ginny told her children a bit ruefully. "Go take it back where you found it."

"No," Lily whimpered. "He's my baby kitty!"

"Lily, love, you can't keep this kitty." Ginny told her. "Come on, I'll take it back with you."

"Fine." Lily sniffled.

As Ginny and Lily walked back to where the cat was found, Ginny tried to distract her little daughter.

"Are you excited to go Trick-or-Treating and lots of candy?" Ginny asked, and Lily's whole face lit up. Thoughts about the little black kitty were soon forgotten. Ginny just smiled at her daughter and listened to her babble on and on.

A/N- not much to say! Hope you liked it!
