Sirius Black leaned against the wall of the cave he was hiding in.
'This is too boring, I need some excitement,' he thought to himself. 'I wonder if Catalina got my letter yet.'
As soon as he said that, an owl came swooping in. He detached the letter from it's leg, and gave it a little of food from buckbeak the Hippogriff's plate. He read the letter.
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.
'gee, wonder what that's about…' he wondered.
I will be taking the job at Hogwarts.
'that's awesome.'
I really want to see you,
'She has no idea how much I want to see her…'
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?
'Yea she will…that Trelawny…if I had a galleon for every time that woman predicted poor Harry's death, I'd be rich.'
I don't know…anyway, I hope you're well.
'that would be an overstatment'
Is there anything you would like me to send to you?
'you? Send you? That's all I want. God, I miss her…'
I'm sure you don't have much food…
'Got that right…'
I guess I could send you some of that…I'll go to the store when I'm done and send it separately,
'Joy!'
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.
'And then, she pours on the guilt…
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.
'what?'
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 think she is…'
I do still love you,
'Good to know…'
I think about you all the time.
'glad she hasn't forgotten me then.'
I hope I can see you soon,
'So do I…'
I'll send food later.
'I'm waiting…'
Love of all my heart,
Catalina
Sirius looked up. He missed Catalina so much. The way her hair never seemed to tangle in the wind, how her eyes change colors when she cries, how warm she felt on the coldest winter days…
He looked down. He was a mess. 'Hopefully, someone can help me clean up! She can't see me like this!' He thought to himself.
Soon enough, an owl arrived with lots of food. Sirius felt like it was Christmas in July. There was so much food in the package he was surprised that one owl could have carried it. He couldn't believe how good Catalina was to him. He didn't even have to ask, she just seemed to know, that he was starving.
'And that's probably a seer thing too,' he thought. 'Or maybe we are connected in a way.'

Catalina looked up from her book when the sound of wings flapping broke her concentration. She took the letter, and noticed automatically that it had the Hogwarts emblem on it. She opened it. And sure enough, it was a job offer for the position of Divination teacher. She replied with a yes, and sent the owl back on its way. For once, she felt things were going to go right.
