Mike grinned, Mercury always brought a smile to his face, the cat was both simple and uncomplicated. He was one of the best things to ever happen to him, second only to Hogwarts itself. He flicked his wand in the general direction of his bed as they entered the dorm, prompting the chest that sat on it to open slowly. By the time they stood in front of it a simple box had risen out of the chest and landed on the foot of his bed. He opened the lid to the cardboard box, latched in a way as to only be openable from the outside, and gently pulled a sleeping kitten from the mat within and cradled it in his arms.

[color=eeba30]"[i]Finite,[/i]"[/color] he incanted, swishing his wand and sheathing it in the same motion, as if to hide the evidence of magic from the cat. Being part Kneazle, it was likely that was the case. [color=eeba30]"Mercy? Come on, wake up."[/color] Mike prodded the sleeping kitten, scratching his head. [color=eeba30]"Mercy, Ollie's here to see you."[/color]

That got the cat's attention, realizing that Oliver's presence must mean they were back at Hogwarts, Mercy's eyes popped open and the now fully awake kitten fled Mike's arms with speed. He landed on the bed and bounced to the floor, landing at Oliver's feet and letting out a string of incomprehensible mews as he began pacing around his feet in that annoying way cats did when they wanted something from you. Mike smiled, used to being shunned by Mercy the first few days back at school, the cat was just too curious to sit by Mike's side when there was a whole castle to get reacquainted with. [color=eeba30]"He does really like you,"[/color] Mike commented offhandedly with a small smile, Mercy liked a lot of people, but he only ever demanded attention from a few people.
