Schatten dashed along the path from Hogwarts to Haven's Loft, reveling in the warmth of the late spring day. He was glad for the break, having worked late for the last few days, preparing the seventh years for their NEWTs. Yet they all needed a break, and he was looking forward to his, to spending time with Sirius and enjoying the return of magic which meant he could have his four furry feet once again.
The bluebells nodded and swayed in the breeze, and he couldn't resist stalking and pouncing on one, giving a feral cry. Then he spun in a circle just for the sheer joy of it, before stopping and giving a sheepish look as he noticed the tall, dark-haired form of his lover propped against the large oak. He sat down and licked a paw nonchalantly for a moment, before shifting back to two legs and walking toward Sirius with a smile.
"Hello, Liebling... I wasn't expecting to see you here!"
