Way To Go, Rick.

Why was Nirh here, at literal dawn, and why was she picking me up?

'Hey kitty. You look lost,' she says. I sigh, and Nirh chuckles and boops my nose. She probably must've mistaken it for a purr. Well, this is humiliating.

I hiss and pretend to scratch her because, even though I was angry, I didn't want her to think that cats are mean. She quickly drops me. 'Feisty little cat, aren't you? You sure don't like getting picked up,' she says, scratching my ears which I would've paid her to do in front of everyone if I was a human. Also she was putting on her baby voice. Why? I do not know, I literally tried to scratch her.

I try to paw her so she'd stop petting me, and that's when I hear the door behind me open.

I instinctively turn back to look, and I could sense my pupils dilating. It was Miss Maya.

She gives a confused look at Nirh, and upon seeing me, she bursts into laughter. I could literally sense the confusion Nirh was going through, it was low-key hilarious but I'd naturally put the two parts together, even though it made my hungover brain hurty.

Miss Maya knew exactly who I was and what I was doing here. I lunge at her and try to scratch her, but having the instincts of a potato, I missed.

She picks me up in her arms and stops laughing. 'Thanks, Nirh. I was looking for the cat, she runs away sometimes. And could you call Alex? She needs to know that the cats back. The Slytherin common room password is "bitch".'

Hoooold up. Alex?

'Uh, sure.' Nirh backs out of the corridor slowly, and she's gone.

Miss Maya holds me so that I'm facing her. 'A little grumpy about the prank, aren't we?' I roll my eyes but I don't think it's visible, or even possible. I just paw at her to drop me and she does. I walk into the room and she shuts the door behind me. 'Sorry about the prank though,' she says. 'It was hilarious. I mean still is, but you tried to scratch the shit out of me like, two times.'

I was about to meow something but the door bursts open to reveal Alex in her pajamas, grinning. 'I heard about a cat.' Miss Maya nods. 'Found her. Or rather, the cat came here and tried to scratch me.'

Alex pulls out her wand. 'We'll see how long the grumpiness lasts.'

I transform in a flash. I could feel my claws retracting and my hair growing out of my head. When I finally look at myself, it appears that I still have the dress on from the party last night.

My first instinct is to take a deep breath as to restrain myself from slapping either of them.

'Why?' I narrow my eyes in and speak in the calmest way possible. Alex shrugged and put her wand away. 'It's always a bad idea to pass out at parties, Young Grasshopper. And also because we were bored.'

I sigh. 'Second question, why me? Pretty sure that a lot of people did the passing out thing,' Both of them grinned. 'You're fun to prank.' I roll my eyes. 'Hilarious.'

Alex boops my nose. 'Oh Shovel, wait until we make a real joke. Look at that serious face of yours, so grumpy,' I attempt to bite her finger, but she quickly pulls it away. 'Too slow,'

I sigh in defeat and turn to Miss Maya. 'Also, what were you doing at the party? You're a professor! That's a good way of getting sacked.' She laughs. 'Sure. Have you not learned anything about me? I'm a ninja. A little fun never hurt anyone,' she says turning to the kitchen.

'Coffee?' I go and annoyedly jump on the couch with Alex. 'Obviously.'

'Also Alex, what were you planning the whole Rick Sanchez thing? I heard he's gonna be back with Morty.' I drop my annoyance at the though of the duo.

Alex grins. 'About that,' she pulls out her wand. 'Accio my phone.' Silence. She turns to me. 'It'll take a while,'

A minute later, Alex's magic phone which was created by Rick on the previous adventure we had before, floats or rather, flies into the room and smacks Alex in the face. I laugh.

She rolls her eyes. 'I'm dying from laughter.' 

'I know right? She's just hilarious,' Miss Maya hands me a cup of coffee. 'You probably shouldn't be having it, but whatever.' I roll my eyes at her. 'This is all your fault.' She smirks.

'Okay so,' Alex looking pointedly at the both of us. 'Rick apparently wanted to warn us. He was telling me something about 'dead zombies' and also about 'chernobyl all over again but scarier'...well that's not concerning at all.'

She sighs and opens her phone. 'To be more specific,' she opens her chat with Sanchez and reads out, 'Some intergalactic idiots thought it was a fun idea to blow up the area near the queen's palace again. Think it must've affected some people. Quarantined all possible suspects because I don't have to be held responsible. I think I've gotten all of them but have a hunch that a few have escaped. Would've liked to have an adventure but...it's strange. I tried magic but it isn't working. Lock down all parts of Hogwarts, I'm coming to get your sorry asses out of trouble
Fuck you,
Sanchez.'

I only could look at her with slight panic. '....what the fuck?'
