((A/N- I'm SOOOOOOOO sorry that it took me SO long to update. I've had hella writers block!  Anywayz, I don't know how long this will be, but, bear with me! Lol))

Disclaimer- OK, I haven't put this in any other chapters, *oops* But, I own only ONE of the characters, which is Catalina Rain. I have only given ONE person permission to use her, and if I catch anyone else with my character, your ass is grass. Lol.

            Catalina woke up the next morning when the sun rose. She quietly packed up her things, and woke the dog that was Sirius up. She made him change back to human so they could talk.

            "What are we going to do?" Sirius asked.

            "Well, I could  keep you as my pet…I don't think Dumbledore would object, and you could change back at night when everyone was asleep. Then you wouldn't have to leave me," Catalina reasoned.

            "It makes sense, but I refuse to eat dog food," he laughed.

            Catalina grinned.

            "Fine, no dog food," she finalized.

            Sirius changed back to his dog form, and they were off to Hogwarts.

~°~

            Severus Snape glared out the window. He couldn't help but wonder about what Catalina was like now. Was she still like she had been in school? Would she still think he was scum? Did she shudder at the thought of him? Was she still-He stopped himself. 'Don't think about it, you idiot. It's in the past, it's over, she doesn't want you, she wants Black.' Somewhere in his brain he could hear someone telling him he may be wrong. He hoped so.

~°~

            "She'll be here soon, Albus?" Asked Minerva McGonagall, who was sitting across the desk from the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore.

            "She will be here soon, she said she'd try and get here today, but we both know that things can stand in the way of travel," He replied.

            "Are you sure you should be hiring her? I mean, she has a bad history…" She trailed off.

            "Catalina Rain is qualified for the job. Her history is not true, people have bent her life in to obscure shapes, and no one realizes that she never did anything of the sort," He replied in a tone that announced the end of the conversation.

((OK, Short, I know, but I have writers block, BAD, gimme a break, lol))
