The sun rose in Diagon Alley the next morning and Catalina woke to an owl. Sirius had written her back to tell her any time was good. She decided that it was too early to go now, and that she would get ready, and then go. But she wouldn't take too long…it  had been long enough.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sirius woke up very early that day. Maybe it was because he couldn't wait to see Catalina. Or maybe he was nervous. He couldn't tell. All he knew was she needed to get there soon. He got up, cleaned up a little, and waited.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Catalina was ready she had waited so long for this, and now she was ready. She straightened up, and then dissapparated to Sirius' hideout

~*~*~*~*~

Catalina suddenly appeared in the entrance of Sirius' cave. Sirius jumped up. Catalina ran to him, and they kissed. 'It's been too long,' they both thought.

Sirius finally let go of Catalina and stepped back to look at her.

"You look great," He finally said after a few minutes. She was just as he had remembered her, tall, with long brown hair and beautiful eyes.

"You look a little hungry," She giggled…"You wanna fix that?"

"If I could, I would, but it's not easy…" He replied.

"Well ya know, you *could* always come back with me as a dog, I mean, no one would know…" she said.

"I guess I could…you wouldn't mind? I mean, I don't want to be any trouble…you don't have to do this…" he trailed off.

"But I want to. I'm here now, and I don't wanna be apart anymore." She said firmly.

"What about Buckbeak?" asked Sirius.

"Where'd he come from?"

"I think Harry freed it…it was going to be executed or something. It was Hagrid's I think…why?"

"Well, you could return it…or you could hide it, set it free…" Catalina suggested.

"Yea I guess…OK, I'll come with you. Lets set Buckbeak free first," said Sirius.

And so, they took buckbeak to Hogwarts, and set him free in the forbidden forest.

"Is there anything you need from the cave?" Catalina asked.

"No…just some letters, nothing important."

"OK. We'll walk to the edge of the grounds and apparate back to the leaky cauldron. That's where I'm staying. You'll want to transform before we go. Let's go," Catalina said.

They walked to the edge of the grounds and then apparated to the leaky cauldron.

It had been a long day, and Catalina was really tired. She got ready for bed, and settled down under the covers. The dog form of Sirius curled up next to her. If this was all she could have right now, it was ok. As long as he was there, everything seemed right.

Catalina was going to enjoy her time back at Hogwarts, with all that she had left behind.

(((Ooo….what happens next? Lol…well, probably, Catalina will go settle in to Hogwarts and keep Sirius as her "pet" or something…I'm not sure yet lolz, and I'm sorry bout the shortness.)))
