The Fifteenth Child

Ch. 24

Kat: So yeah. That's how it went down.

Jaycee: *cocks head to the side* Isn't she on the quidditch team with you?

Kat: Yeah. But it has to be her. It has to be!

Jaycee: *thinking* Yeah,, but there's a multitude of people who like animals.

Kat: Well do you have any other explanation? But she just happened to say this right before another animal was released.

Jaycee: *sigh*. I guess. But, I was stargazing last night. It was a waning crescent moon. Not a full one.

Kat: But that was last night. This was a few nights ago.

Jaycee: *staring at her hands* I know, but... I-I don't know how to explain it. Artie... s-she knows. Some-Somehow.

Kat: Artie?

Jaycee: *glances up and speaks slower as she says each word* I was named after her.

Ari: *she gasps (or whatever)* You don't mean...

Jaycee: *nods* I think she knows what's going on.

Kat: Haha, I DON'T!

Jaycee: *slight smile* I was named after the goddess of the moon.

Kat: Oh. Wow.

Jaycee: Yeah. And I think she knows what's up.

||TIMEY SKIP TO LIKE DOS HOURS L8R||

Kat: Well we seriously should find this out on our own.

Jaycee: *jumps up by holding onto Kat's shoulders* YAY! Adventure!

Kat: *laughs* Now let's get some sleep. Ari's already passed out. *gestures to the drooling figure of Ari*

Jaycee: *softly laughs* Yeah. G'Night, Kitty.

Kat: Night JayJay.

||END OF TEENSIE LIL BEBE FILER||

||A PERTY LONG TIME LATER||

Jaycee: *yawns and knocks on Gryffindor Common Room* Kitty, time to *yawn* wake up.

Kat: *opens door with spring in her step* Oh I've been up for a while. It'sKindOfAmazingWhatCandyDoesToMeAndIJustHaveTheBest--

Jaycee: *"accidentally" hits Kat in the forehead due to her "fatigue"* Chill.

Kat: Owie.

Jaycee: *eyes widen but quickly return to their normal size. Tired smile is replaced by an eye roll*

Kat: Anywho, I've been studying. I didn't find anything out about the animals.

Jaycee: *shrugs* Well, just think. What did they all have in common?

Kat: They all happened on full moons. AHDURRRRR.

Jaycee: *taking mental notes* Anything else? Think of the little things. Like how they acted to the different houses.

Kat: Ok, well, the most dangerous was in the Gryffindor, the least dangerous was in the Slytherin. But we figured the person was in Slytherin already

Jaycee: *nods* ok, so let's narrow this a bit. Just a bit. It isn't me, Scorpius, or Albus. How did the other people solve it when this happened before?
