Sinking her claws into the aged wood, the Tabby pulled the door open and let a swirl of wind blow in to ruffle her fur and scatter a fall of dry leaves across the stones beneath her paws. Sniffing the cold air cautiously, she set out across the cloistered courtyard heading for the bushes that lined its edge. The night was dark, only a sliver of silver moon glimmered in the inky, diamond speckled sky.
The Halloween feast was finished, the students were in for the night, and she was finally free to take time for herself. Silently, she slunk through the swaying brush and came out on a high ridge. With a sinuous grace, she leaped up to settle herself next to a black garbed figure on a hard marble bench overlooking the lake.
As the cat became a woman once more with a sigh of relief, the man on the bench handed over a tumbler of amber liquid. “Another Hallowe’en gone.”
She nodded. “I’ll drink to that. Next year it’s your turn to keep Peeves out of trouble.”
He sipped his drink. “Are you sure it’s not Sibyll’s turn?”
Her lips twitched. “You might be right at that.”
