Two in The Bed

“what th-”
“AHH WHAT THE HELL”
Katherine shoots up.
“oh”
A very confused face looked up at her.
“OH”
Katherine quickly realizes that the dog that she caught last night was snuggled up to her all night. She took a glance over at the time and she was already late for breakfast.
She didn’t know what to do! She couldn’t just leave it here it might tear up her dormitory. And it also needed to eat. I mean it was just a tiny thing who would notice if she just snuck it in her robes and grabbed a quick bite from breakfast?
So she got dressed and carefully made her way out of the dormitory with the puppy clad in her robes.
-
Katherine slips through the massive great hall doors and makes her way over to the Slytherin table trying not to be too obvious about the dog tucked in her robes.
“Hey girlie what's up?”
“Nothing! Nothing at all!”
And just like that Katherine disappeared just as fast as she appeared with Margaret’s plate of food nowhere to be seen.
“What just happened?”
-
Katherine and the little pup were sat at a little crevice in by the castle that overlooks the Black Lake.
“Here ill have the bread you can take the meat” Katherine tried to tell the dog “Nonoo wait-” before it globbed down the whole plate.
“alrighty then, no breakfast for me”
It looks up confused.
“Don’t worry I never eat much anyways.”
It just kind of looks Katherine in the eyes.
“y’know what I just realized, you don't have a name! I don't even know what gender you are!”
“hmm, what to name you… I got it”
“Plate!”
The animal below her looks up, worried.
“You're right, you're right, god you're looking at me like ‘bitch don’t name me plate’ Pff okay let's see,”
“What about Neapolitan? Your coat is like a vanilla colour and you have little brown colourings everywhere as well as pink paws and a nose y’know like the ice cream.”
He or Neapolitan seemed satisfied so Katherine took that as a yes.
“So Neapolitan what's your favourite colour?”
Neapolitan sighed
-
Katherine and Neapolitan passed the rest of the day together just talking, or rather Katherine talking to Neapolitan and the puppy looking at her worryingly.
But at last, Neapolitan was starting to yawn and Katherine took that as a sign to retire to her dorm. Although as she was walking down to the dungeons she was stopped.
“Katherine dear!”
shoot
Katherine spins her head around while carefully readjusting her cloak
“Profe-essor Seymour! What, is, UP?” Katherine states trying to play it cool.
The woman gives her an almost knowing look
“If it’s not too much trouble, can you bring this letter to the owlery for me-?”
“OF COURSE! It would be my HONOUR. THANK YOU.”
“Ar-e you alright Katherine? I can ask someone else if-”’
“NO! I CAN DO THAT THANK YOU YES LOVE YOU MOTHER.”
Katherine snatches the letter and runs off hunched over gripping her cloak.
Professor Seymour blinks
“Did she just call me mom?”
-
“WHat wAS tHat? She probably thought I was high or something! That was so embarrassing, why did I say ‘I would be my honour’ and, ‘i love you MOTHER’ WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!”
Neapolitan started swiping at her leg trying to get her attention or to shut up she couldn’t tell,
“What? What's wrong?”
Footsteps started approaching.
“Oh that”
Katherine moved to crouch behind a rock with Neapolitan following closely behind.
It was Mary Tudor was stalking off towards the forest in a huff.
What? Tudor? What is she doing here?
“You know what I bet she's up to no good. Come on let's follow her.” Katherine let her curiosity get the best of her and carefully followed Tudor into the forbidden forest.
