-a fugitive running-

[bobthewizard]

*angry muttering* Confound people walking in without looking where they're going! It's been twenty-four hours; where could the beast have gone? *grumbles* Back to the Forbidden Forest, I shouldn't doubt... wretched animal... I suppose I shouldn't have expected it to....

If anybody has seen a tattooed, hairless cat in the castle, kindly bring it back to the first-floor staff room. Thank you.

I hope you've all been working hard on the parameters of your hexagrammatic rune charts. It is time to discuss imbuing these runes -- and even runes you did not write yourself -- with charms and trigger spells to make them magically active.

As you've all had experience working together, our next class sessions will be performed jointly with Professor Robin's class. You will pick a partner from her class, exchange hexagrams, choose a that you have learned this year, imbue the hexagram with the charm, and incorporate a trigger spell that will set it off whenever you desire. For homework, do the same thing to one of your own hexagrams for practice.

..And five points to anybody who finds that cat!


[[Strike not hackable, but mood is obvious to anyone who sees him. Edit: there may be a log for the project, so stay tuned! :D As for Marco, I'm giving him another day or so loose in the castle. Enjoy his ear-splitting greetings!]]

*torn between laughter and annoyance* I can read this, you know.

*amused/curious* Was it something I said? *ponders* What, do you think it's a bad idea to try and lure the cat back with catnip and mice?

*gets an idea* Ooh! Maybe if I put lots of catnip onto the mice? There's an idea, I don't think even the most contrary cat could turn up it's nose at that!

Only if you want all the cats in the castle to converge on your location. And I can state from experience that Hogwarts is by no means lacking in cats.

.... Oh.

Huh, yah, I suppose that would be a problem, wouldn't it...

Well, maybe.... Huh, no, I think I'm kinda out of ideas at this point...

*sighs* One of the students told me that cats are... independent... and will go and come when least expected. If she's right, he should come back on his own. *hoping against hope*

*amused*
Well, That is true.

The kid back home, Laddie, Once had this one cat... That cat hated David, and usually would do all manner of unpleasant things to him, anyway, David tried for weeks to chase that cat off nicely... The damn thing kept coming back!
*snort, laugh* That didn't go well...

Poor kitty!

*sorting this out* So... when you try to get rid of them they come back, and when you try to catch them they do their best to get away....

*facepalm* I simply don't understand the feline species.

OH YEA! I knew that.
