[B][U]Grace & Clarice, a compartment on the Hogwarts express[/U][/B]

Grace enjoys a brief bit of small talk with 
Clarice then had to excuse herself as she heard a shriek. She told Clarice to stay in the compartment as she slipped out to see what was wrong.

Soon she came across a young Ravensclaw 3rd year who told her of a Black dog wandering the train and pointed which way it went. She next found a group of girls an boys who say they just saw a black panther.

It is the last reported sighting that makes Grace sigh as it is a description she has heard numerous times. Abby her Maine coon has escaped her cage and is now seeking to make mischief.

Grace has to giggle as she encounters more stunned people along the way. Abby is a daunting animal if you've never seen her breed. At 15 pounds an 44 inches in length she is a ebony figure of epic proportion and a world class pain in the but.

Abby dislikes cages and shows it every time she has to travel in one. It's either escape and wander or she sulks for days afterwards.
