The newest teacher at Hogwarts was wandering around outside on the grounds of Hogwarts near the Dark Forest. Sybil Trelawney was practically spinning with excitement. Tomorrow the students were coming and tonight was a full moon. She just wanted to dance under the stars. She stopped when she felt something, "Hello?" she called.

A slender pale woman in a long velvet dress stepped out of the forest. "It's such a pretty night, can you hear them singing to us ladybug?" The woman moved closer in a swaying motion. "Even the moon came out to play."

Sybil giggled, "The moon does whisper such pretty things." And then she sighed, "but not as much as it used to."

The woman gently brushed back Sybil's hair, "What troubles my little ladybug? Do I need to make someone scream?"

Sybil leaned into the woman's touch, "No, it's just I used to know every time some one would owl and I use to foresee a lot, little and big things."

The woman growled, "And now the naughty Powers that Be play blind man's bluff with your inner eye. They whisper things but don't let you see."

Sybil gently removed the woman's hands from her hair and held them, "Do you think I can still be a good Divinations teacher if I lose my gift?"

The woman tilted an ear towards the stars before answering, "Teach them what you know, those who could hear the stars will listen and others will be naughty and need to be punished with no tea and cakes." She raised a hand to brush Sybil's cheek, "Do not fret dear heart when you need to speak what you see you will."

Sybil smiled, "Thanks, I feel much better. I better get back inside now."

The woman pouted, "Don't you want to come and have tea and cakes?"

Sybil looked around her, "I would but he looks too angry for a tea party."

The woman turned around to see a man with bleached hair and a duster stalking towards her, "Drusilla!" He grabbed her arm, "Do you know how long I've been looking for you," then he noticed Sybil, "What's this? Snacks, luv?" He went to reach for her when Drusilla pushed him onto the ground.

"Bad Spike, ruff," Drusilla said looking down at him, "no snacking or you'll be punished along with Miss Edith for biting out of turn."

Sybil daintily stepped over Spike to kiss Drusilla on the cheek. "Good night Aunt Dru. I'll see you the next time the moon is in full view." Then she skipped off to the castle and waved once before going inside.

Spike looked up at Drusilla in confusion, "Aunt?"

Drusilla kneeled down next to Spike and whispered, "When Angelus killed my family he missed my older brother, shhh it's a secret don't tell daddy."

Spike stood up pulling Drusilla along with him. He brushed off the dirt from his duster and took Drusilla's hand in his. "Alright then luv, I won't tell the poof but you've got to promise me that you'll stop sneaking away every full moon."

Drusilla began walking away pulling Spike along with her, "The moon makes no promises."
