Who: Lysienne Aldrern and Kahvi Sidhe
When: Wednesday, October 1, 1997
Where: Hogwarts grounds near the Forbidden Forest
What: In which a Healer and a Priestess team up to save a First Year and his pet from the clutches of Filch and the Carrows

Lysienne looked up at the purple and orange hues of sunset, then laughed as Rolan gamboled around her like a puppy, feeling as if she had not done so for a long time. There hadn't been much to laugh about, lately. But it was good to get out of the castle, even if it was just for an evening walk. A large majestic shadow passed overhead, and she tilted her head, thinking that it somehow looked familiar. "What a beautiful bird," she murmured, wishing for a moment that she could shed all the thoughts weighing down on her and soar like that bird into the cool autumn sky.

But she had promised Madam Pomfrey that she would help that evening--students kept coming in with injuries, and the Mediwitch was exhausting herself treating them all--she sighed and turned, and saw a figure walking in her direction. Another student out for a walk? She was debating whether or not to take the long way back to the castle to avoid having to talk to anyone when a voice quite near her cried, "Sparky!" She whirled to see a First Year running in and out of the shadows of the Forbidden Forest, eyes trained on the ground. "Sparky!" he called again desperately.

She went up to him. "What's wrong?" she asked.

The other student turned a tear-streaked face to her. "Sparky! She's gone! She ran in there, and I'm scared!"

"Sparky? Who is she?"

"She's my pet mongoose," he sobbed. "She ran in front of Professor Carrow earlier, and he cast something on her, and...and I think she's hurt!"

"Don't worry, I'll help you find her. Rolan--" she started to say, when she saw Filch coming out of the castle for his nightly inspection of the grounds. She drew them both instinctively behind a tree, cursing inwardly. If he caught them, they would both get detention for going into the Forbidden Forest. She peered again in his direction, and saw his cat suddenly take off running. She bit her lip. "Rolan, can you find Sparky?" she whispered, and he disappeared quietly into the undergrowth. Now, what to do?
