The gray beautiful feline approached her and called to her attention and Heather smiled. Seraphina followed her. It would seem that the cat had grown really attached to her as she had grown attached to it as well. "Hey there Seraphina." she bent down and opened her arms giving the cat the idea that she wanted to carry it. Seraphina allowed Heather to carry her and the girl did not hesitate to pet the cat tenderly in her arms. "Did you come to look after me? that's so nice of you Seraphina." she said and the cat nodded with acknowledgement. This made Heather chuckle. "Thanks then, for making sure i was all right. I was just having thoughts."

The cat narrowed its eyes on her. For all they know (and care) Heather was once again thinking about the one boy she likes but is no longer in Hogwarts-and isn't even sending her a letter, not one after the first one at the start of term. Seraphina went back to purring calmly in Heather's arms as the girl looked out the gate.

"I wish..." she sighed but kept her voice to minimal so only she could hear herself speak. "..that he'd appear in that gate, coming back here in Hogwarts."
