Catalina put down the picture. She had to write him back. She walked across the room, picked up her quill and a piece of parchment, and wrote:

Sirius,

      I know that you didn't kill those people. I was there. But, I'll have to explain that to you in person, it's a very long story.  I will be taking the job at Hogwarts. I really want to see you, but you also know that I always wanted to teach. As for being a true seer, maybe I'll give Sibyll a run for her money? I don't know…anyway, I hope you're well. Is there anything you would like me to send to you? I'm sure you don't have much food…I guess I could send you some of that…I'll go to the store when I'm done and send it separately,  my owl isn't a strong as he used to be. I still don't see why you and James didn't tell me about you guys being animagus. You say people would try and squeeze information out of me, but if that were true, they would have listened when I tried to defend you. I told you everything about me, and you kept things from me…what else did you hide?  I'm not really angry, I just want to know. I miss you terribly. I do still love you, I think about you all the time. I hope I can see you soon, I'll send food later.

Love of all my heart,

Catalina

'There' she thought. 'That should get the point across.'

Catalina walked across the room, and opened the cage that held her owl.

"Take this to Sirius," she said. "I'm not sure where he is, but he's somewhere near Hogwarts. Just do your best."

She let the owl out the window, and watched it soar out into the summer sky.

'Oh, I hope it makes it!' She thought as she fixed food to send to Sirius.
