Elsewhere, a girl in a long red cloak walked atop the buildings of the city, watching the muggles running around beneath her. She was hiding from Death Eaters, the Ministry and well from Professor Dumbledore. It was the latter that had her most afraid. Calliope did not have a lot of role models in her life, and men even less so. Her father had died when she was to young, her mother had refused to talk about him and until the day that Storm almost killed her she did not even know a thing about the wizarding world.

"I hate this form," a red haired boy said, as he walked up behind Calliope who was leaning on top of a gargoyle looking down into the city at night.

Calliope turned to look at him, "I know love," she said and went over and kissed him on the cheek and ruffled his red mane. "But I think it's cute. You look like a Weasley, Storm," the girl added giggling.

"Remind me to pay back Marl when we get back to Oz," the boy said.

"Don't be silly," Calliope replied. "It's barely September we won't be going home until the winter break, and that's months away."

"Do you mean to say we're going to be living on the streets until then?!" the boy asked in shock and exasperation.

"Of course not silly, it's just ..."

"What's so important about that stupid brooch anyways? Why do you think the headmaster wants it so bad?" the boy asked settling down on the gravelly rooftop by their magical fire. He rubbed his hands up and down his arms as he had them crossed trying to feel warm. It was so difficult to be warm in human form, and the clothes! Gah but he longed to be naked and free.

Calliope's red cloak fluttered in the rooftop winds. She walked over to the red haired boy and sat next to him, sighed, and promptly leaned her head over on his shoulder, wrapped her arms around his arm and sighed again looking into the fire.

"I suppose you're right, Storm. It must be just some stupid brooch, otherwise Dumbledore would have gone for it himself," the girl said. There had not been many male role models in her life, nor did Calliope need any, there had been enough strong women in her life to show her how to be a lady, but there was something sweet and kind and fatherly about the school's headmaster that made her want to do her best for him, no matter the issue. She hated letting him down.

"If that stupid cat just hadn't ..." she sighed.

"If I wasn't stuck in this form, I would have show that feline a thing or two."

"Oh, Storm," the girl said and kissed the boy on the cheek. She could almost fall in love with him ... if he were a boy, which he was, but he wasn't really. Life was too complicated. Couldn't things go back to being simple, before Hogwarts, before Professor Mandelbrot and the reading club? She only wished they could but knew they wouldn't.

SPOILER!!: The plot with images Eeek! No but it is a surprise LOL

Author's Note: The one's you were expecting perhaps, Conners?

Added the chapter guides, but now I have to add this one ... oy! Love the name change Droo.

Thank you girls for reading. I'll be back with more ... uhm, cats,

or boys who turn into animals ... animagi?

or maybe it's backwards. What is it with me and animal/human transformations anyways?
