Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything that has to do with it. However, I do own Cati, so you can't have her.
A/N: Lily, my loving sister, I'm writing this because you threatned to steal my boyfriend if I didn't :-D!!
Chapter 5
Catalin stormed to Cadance's classroom and flung the door open.
"Ok, it's official. If I hated them before, I really hate them now!" exclaimed Catalin going red in the face. "Do you remeber that kid back when we were in school?"
"Yep, the one with the big glasses, really ugly?" said Cadance not looking up from grading papers.
"Thats the one. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to ring his neck. Well, I want to injure them more than I wanted to injure him."
"You must want to hurt them bad then, because I definitly recall a couple of times that you tried to kill him. So what did they say to piss you off and turn you very un-pacifist like this time?"
Catalin sat down in a chair and drew a deep breath.
"Well, it turns out the pure one has arrived at my 'sky home' and Callisto wasn't the pure one. So they say while i'm standing there that there is a problem that they have to fix and they won't tell me what it is."
Cadance looked up from her desk with a look of confusion.
"I wonder what they're talking about."
"Same here, but you know how they are. If they know that you want to know, they won't tell you."
"So pretend that you don't want to know," shrugged Cadance going back to grading.
"I knew there was a reason that I kept you around."
Catalin got up and walked out of Cadance's room. She was on her way to her room when she ran into Sybill.
"Oh god."
"My dear," came the misty voice.
Cati wanted to shoot herself right then and there, but she remembered that it would do her no good since she was already dead.
"What Sybill?"
"I've just come from gazing at my crystal ball and...."
"You know, did your parents drop you on your head when you were a baby or were you born like this?" asked Cati.
"I was going to say that your future looks bleak."
"Yeah, yeah. Did you know that if you didn't look at the crystal ball so much you wouldn't need those glasses? But, since you've got no brains you wouldn't know that would you? Those glasses make you look like and overgrown bat that smells funky! And I am this close to hexing you so you can't find your glasses so you can't stare into that stupid crystal ball that I am going to shove up your ass!"
Catalin moved on with a huff and slammed the door to her classroom. The students jumped and she looked up.
"Am I late?"
They nodded.
"Sorry, I was screaming at Sybill, she was getting on my nerves. What else is new. Alright, good morning class. If you would please open up to page 324 we'll get started. Welcome to medieval times. Witches and wizards were in their prime at this time."
This was Cati's favorite unit. It was very exciting and interesting. It gave the students a chance to relax a little bit.
She wasn't very active at dinner and Cadance kept prodding her with a spoon.
"Say something. You look like a statue."
"I'm trying to be one."
"Well don't, you look ugly as a statue."
Cati turned her head slowly.
"Are you implying that I look like Sybill?"
"Of course not. If I was implying that I would have said you look like an ugly bat, there is a very slim difference."
Catalin laughed and Cadance pointed at her.
"Ah-ha, I did it! You laughed! I get a cookie!"
Catalin shot Cadance a look and shoved the nearest cookie into her mouth.
"C'mon Cate, you're being a stick in the mud, amuse me," whined Cadance.
"Or you could amuse me," said a bright bouncy voice.
"Oh no," said Cati putting her head down on the table.
"Oh yes," said Sirius plopping down next to her. "Cati, it's almost like you don't want to see me or something!"
"I'm not having the greatest of days Sirius," replied Catalin shifting in her seat.
"Tell me what's on your mind," said Sirius.
"I'll I got a ring from the elders. So I go up there and they say that there is a problem and they won't tell me what it is. So then they just send me back down here."
"Well I don't know what to tell you."
"No one does. Being a white-lighter is very, very annoying sometimes."
"Hey, hows the boys?" asked Sirius trying to change the subject.
"They're good. Sarah is expecting. She doesn't know it yet I don't think though."
"Well if she doesn't know then how do you know?"
"I'm a white-lighter, I know everything about everything."
Cadance laughted at Sirius' expression and Cati's head suddenly jerked towards the ceiling.
"Don't you jingle me! I'm coming! I'm coming!" yelled Cati.
Cadance and Sirius watched as Cati evaporated into tiny specks of silver light.
"What?! I WAS EATING!"
"There's a problem."
"There's always a problem."
"The're unstopable! The shape-shifters have been released!"
"And you're telling me this why?"
"Because you have got to stop them."
"But you just said that they were unstopable!" exclaimed Cati.
"We'll explain it later."
"No, you'll EXPLAIN IT NOW!!"
The next thing Cati knew she was being orbed down to Hogwarts.
"AHHHH!!!" yelled Cati in frustration.
"Are you have a problem?" asked Harry.
"YES! THEY WON'T TELL ME ANYTHING! THEY KEEP EVERYTHING FROM ME! EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS WHITE!" choked Cati as she began to cry. "I can't be with my family. I'm DEAD DAMNIT DEAD!"
Cati slid down the wall and began to cry.
"You're such a drama queen," said Cadance coming around the corner with a smile plastered on her face.
Harry laughed as Cati began to crack a smile.
"No quit your sobbing before I turn your precious red hair green, or I got get Sirius. OR I could be the epitomy of evil and do both."
"Don't you have somewhere to be?" asked Harry through laughs.
"Why yes I do, but I had to come down and give Cati her academy award."
With that Cadance skittered off to her classroom to collect her papers and Cati picked herself up off of the stone floor.
"You better?" asked Harry.
"Yeah, I will be when all of this is over," said Cati sighing.
"What are friends for?" said Harry smiling at her.
"Thanks Professor Potter," smiled Cati taking a step towards her classroom.
"Anytime Professor Wood," said Harry walking towards the transfigurations room.
Catalin went almost two weeks without a jingle from the elders. She was in a particularly good mood this morning. An unaturally good mood. She'd done as the elders had said, and gone to "see" the pure one. It was almost christmas break. She would be going home to her family.
"Your homework over christmas break is.."
But she was immediately by groans from the class.
"Well if you kids would ever let me finish," sighed Cati. "I was going to say I want you guys to have as much fun as physically possible."
The class cheered and Catalin smiled. " As a gift from me, I'm going to let you go early. Have a happy christmas!"
"Cati! Are you ready to leave?" called Harry the next morning.
"Yeah, I'm coming!"
The pair walked down to Hogsmeade and apparated to the Manor. In other words. Catalin and Oliver's house.
"Mom! Harry! So glad to see you! Dad's upstairs! We have great news!" exclaimed James.
Catalin hugged her son and Oliver came down the stairs.
"Oh Cate, wait until you hear the good news!" said Oliver hugging her next.
"So what is it? I'm waiting with bated breath."
"Mom, Sarah and I are going to have a baby! Sarah is pregnant!"
Harry stared for a second before he was talking excitedly and smiling. Catalin was grining as well.
"Well I've got some news myself. "
"What is it?" asked Oliver.
"Well........"
