Pounce. Pounce, come back! [Nepeta looked furtively about the dark halls, certain that Mr. Filch was going to pop out of the shadows at any moment. She usually considered herself a fairly adventurous person, and it wasn't as if she weren't breaking any bigger rules but she was walking a rather fine line here at Hogwarts. Unless it was for certain

[ Rather than call out after his cat--who was running ahead of him, the white of his tail acting as a beacon in the dark halls--Dave kept quiet, focused on his pursuit and keeping his shoes just as silent as he moved. It was easy enough, for him, but even the smallest sound could be amplified by the high ceilings, or disturb the resting portraits adorning the various walls. A single misstep would have Filch on their heads. Thus far, he'd managed to avoid actual punishment: Filch never had proof that it was him running around the halls at night, causing trouble and laying down some of John's pranks where the other boy couldn't. Dave didn't want to give him the chance to, either.

Cheezburger rounded a corner, his large, clumsy paws scrabbling as he took it too fast. He knew exactly where he was going, and had a fierce purpose that he'd never seen before from the typically dopey cat. ]

[Irritation was giving way to curiosity. Nepeta had noticed a small change in Pounce since coming to the school. She was not a magical cat like most of the other animals at the school, so...while Nepeta hated to phrase it like this, she wasn't quite as sentient as the other cats. Yet she wondered is the castle was having an effect on her and making her more so. It was little clues, such as the odd determination she seemed to carry right now that made Nepeta wonder.

She didn't have to wonder for long, and she would not have expected the answer. When she rounded a corner, hot on Pounce's tail she saw her rush towards the figure of a another cat.

Another, very familiar cat. So that's what this was all about.]

[ It certainly wouldn't have surprised Dave, if that was happening to Pounce. He'd noticed a particular shift in Cheez, himself, although it was minor. He was a magical cat, through and through, but he was a very dimwitted one. Now, in Hogwart's hallowed halls, he was on a mission, full of purpose and sure-footed, the tight corners his only moment of clumsiness compared to his usual movements.

Cheezburger sped up when he caught sight of Pounce, and there was that telltale rumble that signaled either a jet taking off or the large, black-and-white furball starting to purr.

Rather than speed up, himself, Dave slowed when he saw the other cat. Without thinking, he looked in the direction she'd come from seeking out her owner. And there, of course, she was. ]

[That was...so...freakin...adorable. Nepeta had to clap her hands over her mouth to quiet her giggles. Well had she known, she would have let Pounce out herself. She raises her eyes and sees that apparently Dave too has been on a bit of a chase. She grins at him, and looks at their cats again. She makes her way over to him, circumventing the two cats so she can speak quietly with him.]

Well. I was wondering what had been up with her lately.
