Cat walked down the long corridors and door after door passed by, all leading to nowhere.

At the head of the stairs she broke into a run, running along endless corridors and listening to Daz shouting behind her, within minutes he was catching up with her, Cat looked at him, startled, she was a fast runner, in fact she was the fastest, no muggle had ever beaten her!

But Daz just kept running," Cat! Cat! We can't go out there!"

"Oh, I'm expected to let him get back to his world and tell them all am I?"

"NO! Cat it's dangerous, we are important, you know our secret we share!"

"Daz, I'm sorry, but I'll be back." She left.

Daz slumped onto the steps in the main hall and buried his face in his hands," You're so stupid Cat!" he said, his voice agonized and muffled.

A slow swish caught his attention; he turned and there, before him, sat a transparent painter looking thoroughly content with his surroundings!

"Who on earth are you?" Daz whispered.

"I tell the sad story of Black manor." Came his reply.

"I don't understand." Daz whispered, slightly louder.

"Well then, ask the walls." Said the painter and vanished.

"The walls?" Daz whispered silently.

"The walls, the walls, the walls." Echoed the painters voice in the same voice you might use to confirm something.

Daz looked at the walls, not feeling in the least idiotic he asked," How, tell me how, how does he tell the story?

Suddenly a huge line of pictures appeared on the walls, each containing a man on the same stairs as he himself was standing on.

"Men?"

"Look closer, then closer, then closer." Came the echoing voice.

Daz asked," Walls, may I go… closer?"

A cloud formed and rumbled below him and he zoomed up to the pictures level.

He looked at them, he had been right; each contained a young man like himself and a pretty woman, the same woman, CAT!

In each picture the man stood at the top of the stairs holding out a hand as if to beg someone to come up to you or as if to help them up, but Cat walked away, in uniform (army kit) and looking towards the door as if she were a dog being called, she didn't go to the sides of the men and looked as though she had no intention of doing so, each mans face was full of love, pure and true.

The cloud bubbled to nothing and Daz was let down, as he turned he saw the painters stand materialize in front of him," The future revealed, revealed, revealed." The voice came and died away but Daz didn't look, he feared what he knew he would see.

Eventually he walked over, breathing deeply, in the picture was a head, still being painted, and it was Daz who looked out at him and it was Daz who looked away.

"YOU'RE WRONG!" he yelled," YOU'RE WRONG, I'M DIFFERENT TO THEM! I WON'T LET HER LEAVE; I'LL CLING TO HER LEGS SO I FALL DOWN THESE STAIRS WITH HER! She won't leave me!" he whispered the last part.

"She just did, she did, she did, she did!"

"SHUT UP!" he roared, silence greeted him.

5 minutes passed and Cat entered holding a bleeding Lucius Malfoy by the scruff of the neck.

"Daz." She said in welcome.

"Cat." He replied, distracted," CAT! Cat I saw the pictures, A new one is being painted Cat! Make it be different!" he begged.

She looked away," Daz, destiny will fulfil it's purpose, let's leave it in peace to do so." And she looked away distractedly towards the door.

"CAT!" Daz yelled, he knew that look; it was the 'dog' look.

Cat looked back and cast about her with her beautiful eyes anxiously, shook her head quickly and headed towards the cellar with Malfoy.

"Bed Time!" she yelled as the clock chimed 9," I'll be up in 10 minutes."

Daz heard the feet of Lupin and Harry above him heading to their room.

He went up and 10 minutes later Cat entered, he looked at her in the darkness," What song tonight?" she asked.

"Hmmmmm… Oh by Ciara."

She left.

"This is where the stay crunk, throw it up, dubs on the Cadillac, white T's, Nike's, gangsters don't know how to act, Adamsville, Bank head, College park, Carver homes, hummers floating on chrome, choking on their home grown."

Daz sighed peacefully and rolled over onto his side.

Lupin waited until Cat entered before silently asking about the full moon.

"Two days Lupin, you have the sweet on the night." She said whilst blowing out the candles around his room and exiting.

Harry sat looking at the door, Cat entered and said," Don't worry, Harry, I'll go to town tomorrow for your Hogwarts supplies."

He sighed and said," Thank you, I have some tricky home work and your rules mean I can't use Hedwig and post to Hermione for help."

Cat nodded, blew out the single candle beside his bed and left.

She walked out to the stables and saddled Mooneye, she knew she couldn't go to Diagon Alley in broad daylight; she was illegal and was bound to be noticed.

She jumped up into the saddle and rode into the night towards Diagon Alley.

She stopped outside the bookshop and entered, the owner looked at her and got down the schoolbooks, handing them to her and giving a complimentary nod he turned away and Cat left to go next door.

Cat entered the robe shop and clicked her fingers and Harry's patched robes appeared, she handed them to the keeper and pointed at the 2 cm improvement sign then the stitching and repairing one next to it.

After 20 minutes she left and went into the owl kits and supplies shop to get a new cage for Hedwig and 10 scraps of parchment which could only be opened at will by the person meant to read them, she also booked Hedwig to be washed and healed of any scars in 10 days, the day before Harry caught the Train.

She put Harry's things in a bag and headed to the Wizarding robes shop for older people and got a fine suit and robes for Lupin.

She entered Olivanders wands shop and got Daz's measurements and ordered a wand for him, she finally went to the owlery and got a post owl to deliver Harry's things and another to deliver Lupin's.

She left Diagon Alley on horse back and went back to the manor where she went straight to bed as it was 10 by that time, Malfoy would have to starve today.

The next day at breakfast Cat was just telling the boys to behave and stop threatening each other with some help from Harry when the post arrived.

"Only Harry can open his, you boys will learn a lesson, if you behave throughout lunch you can open yours too."

Harry ripped open the parcel," CAT! No, you didn't…?"

"Well you needed it didn't you?"

"THANKYOU!" Harry exclaimed and ran upstairs to pack reading the owl appointment slip, Cat heard a great WOOT as he realised what it was.

At lunch Cat let the boys open their presents, Lupin looked at his robes with mixed pleasure and embarrassment and Daz pulled Cat into a great hug.
