Chapter 19: Munkustrap vs Macavity
Just then, the Toms returned. "They're gone! They're just gone!" Munkustrap exclaimed. "How could they just disappear?" Tom asked. Just then, Macavity's cackle echoed through the air once again, startling everyone. "Macavity must still be here!" Sarah exclaimed. "Where is he?!" Carmelita asked. "Where could he be?!" Dean asked. Just then, Macavity appeared behind everyone, surprising them. "Alright, you bad old pussy cat, where's Old Deuteronomy?" Harry asked as he and the other heroes aimed at Macavity. "Why, he's right here. Safe and sound." Macavity said, gesturing to his minions bringing 'Old Deuteronomy' up to everyone.
The cats were relieved to see 'Old Deuteronomy' safe and sound as they nuzzled him. "Oh, thank goodness." Carmelita said in relief. But as Macavity and his minions left, Demeter started getting hostile. Bombalurina sensed this and tried to calm her down. But Demeter danced in her hostility. "Guys, something's wrong with Demeter." Padma said. Everyone grew worried as Demeter shooed them away from 'Old Deuteronomy.' "What's going on with her?" Kaz asked. "I don't know. I've never seen her like this." Munkustrap said. Just then, Demeter leapt onto 'Old Deuteronomy's' back. "Has she gone loco?!" Carmelita asked in surprise. But then, as 'Old Deuteronomy' tried to spin her off, his cloak came off, revealing him to be just a disguise. "MACAVITY!" The cats cried.
"Get him!" Harry exclaimed. As the everyone blocked him off, Macavity danced to his pleasure, knocking those who approached him back with his power. "Blimey, he's tough." Ron said as he rubbed his head. Just then, Macavity shooed Munkustrap away and started to drag Demeter off. "He's got Demeter!" Ginny cried. Munkustrap grabbed Demeter's legs and tried to pull her away from Macavity. But as they played tug-a-war with her, Alonzo lifted her up and carried her away. Macavity attempted to chase them, but Munkustrap got in the way. He let out a great roar. Macavity swatted him, but he swatted back as they began a dance fight. They circled each other, just daring for one of them to make the first move. As they danced closer, they swatted each other. Macavity leapt onto Munkustrap's back, but he managed to throw him off. As Munkustrap flipped over him, they drummed the floor and got back up. Just then, Macavity lifted Munkustrap up and threw him to the ground. As he walked over Munkustrap, as he recovered, Macavity swung around to scratch him, barely missing his face. They danced back and started to scratch each other's backs. But then, Macavity flipped poor Munkustrap and threw him aside. "Munk!" Hermione cried as she, Mungojerrie, Coropicat, Rumpleteazer and Electra checked on poor Munkustrap.
Alonzo leapt in to take on Macavity. But as they fought, Macavity picked him up and spun him around before dropping him. Having had enough, everyone started to join in. Macavity swatted Mungojerrie and Cassandra as they came up. Tangath roared as he ran up. But Macavity swatted him aside too. But then, Harry spark from his wand, creating a puff of smoke to surprise Macavity. Sly jabbed his staff into Macavity's stomach. Macavity started to back up as the cats all started to swat at him. "We got you now, Macavity." Harry said. "There's nowhere to go." Ginny said. Just then, Macavity leapt onto the trunk, grabbed a couple jumper cables and connected them, seemingly electrocuting himself and shorting out the lights.
"What happened?" Ron asked. "Where'd Macavity go?" Sarah asked. "Someone got a light?" Seamus asked. The cats lit a lantern and looked over to the trunk.
All: Macavity's not there
"Looks like he got away." Maxxor said. Munkustrap recovered and crawled along the floor. Demeter crawled up to him, relieved that he was okay. They nuzzled each other, happy that they were both okay. "Well, at least everyone's safe." Ron said. "Not everyone." Intress said. "She's right." Hermione said. "Old Deuteronomy." Harry said.
All: We have to find Old Deuteronomy
