Veela and her wolf

21

Daughter of the dark and moon

hidden in mud

Will meet her match with a bird of prey

Their union will be realized in a fury of

Fur joining feathers.

Destined to turn the tide

of the greatest war

Their love will save us all

Rawr...Catnip thief...rawr...catnip thief!! You and Bird woman need to get up

'Five more minutes mum'. Sleepily mumbled Hermione as she swatted at the tiny being on her chest

Crookshanks jumped back from the arm, but then went back into position and kneaded the wolf's sternum.

Catnip thief, danger!! Danger!!

'The correct answer is...zzzzz...professo..zzz'.

Your homework is on fire

Hermione bolted awake in a panic

'Wha..??'  She looked around only to find her imprint fast asleep and her familiar looking up to her from the bottom of the bed blinking

-Crooks?  What's going on, where's the danger?

You forgot to feed me last night, and I'm hungry

...

...

-seriously, that's why you woke me up?

... duh

'Where did he even learn that phrase from?...  Oh yeah watching movies with the boys this summer...' Hermione mumbled to herself as she searched through her trunk for the cat food and water she stored there.  She refilled the bowls and went back to bed, mumbling about cranky cats

I heard that

Whatever, can I sleep now your majesty?

He he he, yeah I guess so, just don't make Bird woman yell this morning, she's loud when you both do the naked human thing

The months passed following the first task, and fall gave way to winter. 

'The Yule Ball is a tradition...'. Professor McGonagall spoke to the collection of fourth through seventh year Gryffindor and Beauxbaton students as those were the ones whom would be attending the event.  Each head of house were addressing their students on the matter and Gryffindor and Beauxbaton were together, as were Slytherin and the Bulgarians.  Hermione would happily spend many pounds to see Professor Snape give dancing lessons.

Hermione had been excited to hear about the upcoming ball as she would be able to enjoy a night of fun with her beautiful imprint.  They had not had a chance to dance together yet and she could not wait. 

Part of her allowance she had secretly saved went to lessons in all sorts of things she deemed would help her in her future endeavors.  Thankfully, ballroom dancing had been one of those investments she had made.  With such a beautiful date, and a champion at that, she would be appalled if she would not be able to honor her imprint with a worthy performance.
