Orion lunged reaching for Mercury but the rebel cat had gone further, tail whipping up stiffly, back arched waiting for Scylla to scratch. Bad boy. What are you doing? Don't bother her so much, or she'd hex you, fearless cat! Orion kept these silly thoughts to himself, much more now that he just turned seventeen. When Scylla had looked at him, his hand went to his throat patting lightly as he shook his head and smiled. He pulled out his wand and concentrated hard on a spell.<em>Flagrate.</em>Where his wand marked in the air left glowing strokes of fiery ash.<strong>HI. I'M ORION.</strong><br/><br/>He made a face at his cat.<strong>MY DAD'S CAT. MERCURY.</strong><br/><br/>He added:<strong>SCYLLA, RIGHT?</strong>Then a sudden caw made him look back.<br/>An owl had perched at the window. He hurried over with a treat in his palm and traded for his mail.<br/><br/><strong>AW, SWEET OF MINE MUGGLE MUM. TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY.</strong><br/><br/>Mercury mewed! Yea, yea, I hear ya. I'll send her a thank-you card immediately. Orion thought all that in a glare at the cat.<br/>While the cat swiped its back legs as if to sweep dirt in his general direction, he unwrapped the small humble present. A cat toy.<br/><br/>He tossed the toy at Mercury on which went wild on his back, four paws up attacking his new victim. Tail whippy.<br/><br/>Orion looked around the room, realizing some words remained burning, the rest dissipating in smoke.<br/>He's been writing like the devil, but so what. It was fun. Mercury's cat fangs bit and gnawed the toy.<br/>At least with the cat here, Mum didn't have to feed anybody at home but herself. And here he was, a wizard in study.<br/><br/>He smiled at Scylla Cromwell on her stool with coffee and book.<strong>THEY SAY TODAY'S A GOOD DAY TO VISIT THE LIBRARY.</strong><br/><br/><hr/>
