Shadowedmoon sat in one of the many rooms in Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. 'Why do I stay here? Why don't I just leave?'

He'd asked himself this question many times over the past week and the truth was he couldn't leave. A power held him here and it wouldn't let him spirit away. Like he aways did.

A sound to his right, quickly crouching he waited. No thing came.

'Come on Shadow your getting slow. You should have sensed it's place.'

He slowly walked down one of the hall ways, his claws making a slight scratching sound, but other then that he's silent.

Looking around before he interred the meal hall. Sniffing here and there hoping to find some scrap of food. But there was nothing and it being almost dawn he left.

Walking past the dormitories he stopped, sniffing, that smell he knew it.

'Humans they think there so smart but they can't even hid from he for long.' He slowly opened a door with his nose and peered into the darkness.

"Who's there?" a male voice asked.

Quickly Shadowedmoon was in the room before the man could turn. Looking at him Shadowedmoon saw that he wasn't one of the teachers or students.

The man turned looking around as if there might be a ghost in the room.

'You shouldn't be little man. 'Because I'm going to get you.' He leaped forward making the man run from the room.

The chase was on. Shadowedmoon quickly took off after him, his legs abler, his body one moving shadow, he ran, the man turned down a passage, Shadowedmoon close at his heels.

They turn one more corner and run head long into Snape, McGonagall, and Albus Dumbledore.

'I'm leaving.' In mid leap Shadowedmoon disappears and reappears in the potions class room. 'Now what should I do about those who saw me?'

He slowly turned into a shadow and went to sleep. Has for the man that he'd reveled, he was handed over to the police and told them that a huge black dog had chased him, but no one believed him, no one accept, Snape, who's dreams had been wanted by a large black wolf like catcher with a dark feel about it.
