Just Sit Right Back and You'll Hear a Tale...
Characters: Sirius, Harry, Faelan, Gaius
Summary: The inhabitants of Haven's Loft settle in for an afternoon of more fun and adventure than they had expected.
It was a beautiful afternoon, unseasonably warm but no one was about to complain about it, not when the sun was shining and the air was almost as balmy as spring. In a rare occurrence, all the inhabitants of Haven's Loft were actually at home on a Saturday, and when Sirius suggested an impromptu picnic, it seemed just the thing to celebrate the unexpected good weather. With much chattering and laughing a hamper was found, and the pantry and coldbox raided for anything that struck anyone's fancy. The overflowing basket was finally shrunken, blankets gathered and Padfoot's new frisbee found, and they all set off toward the hills on the upper part of the property, where it would be possible to bask in the sun and admire the view of the village sprawling below.
Gaius held Sirius' hand as they ranged upward, talking quietly of this and that and enjoying the day. As they reached a flat, open area that looked particularly inviting, Gaius turned to look at Sirius with a playful grin.
"Bet you can't catch me," he purred, then shifted form into Schatten, taking off across the ground on swift black paws. He heard a loud, happy bark behind him as Starless decided to join in the game. That was fine, since the big, friendly dog had learned that the little black cat had wicked claws and would use them if threatened. Besides, Padfoot would come to his rescue, he was sure, and so he increased his speed as he bounded higher up the hillside, happy to feel the warm wind in his fur.
