The cave

[Silvery Bletchley]

I will! Goodbye Viktor.

*smiles and waves*

*turns to Draco*

You didn't get to show him the pitch either.

*sighs*

[Draco Malfoy]

Oh yeah. Anyway. You are so not going to visit him.

*looks down at Zorah and strokes her softly*

Night Zor.

*smiles at Silvery*

Meet me upstairs.

[Silvery Bletchley]

*smiles and shakes her head*

*kisses the top of Zorah's head then sets her down on the ground gently*

Night baby girl.

*disapparates*

[Zorah]

~whines softly as watches them go, then takes off to go do her hunting for the night~

[Silvery Bletchley]

*apparates outside Zorah's cave and places the bottles of brandy on a nearby rock*

Zorah? Are you in there?

*walks in the cave and lights her wand then looks around*

*finds it empty and walks back outside, calling Zorah's name again*

[Zorah]

~looks up from mauling a garden knome on the Quidditch pitch and flies over to the cave~

[Silvery Bletchley]

*hears the flapping of giant wings and looks up, amazed at realizing how much Zorah has grown*

Salazar Slytherin, Zor! You're no longer a baby.

*waits for her to get closer, her heart heavy from having missed her so much*

[Zorah]

~lands in front of Silvery and immediately sniffles her neck and then down her front, getting smoke in Silvery's face~

~whines~

~keeps her wings open and sits, huffing a little still~

[Silvery Bletchley]

*coughs a bit as wraps her arms around Zorah's neck*

Oh Zor...did you miss me sweetie? I dreamed about you, that much I do remember.

*a single tear rolls down her cheek, the turmoil within her wanting out, but she fights it*

[Silvery Bletchley]

*suddenly gets a stabbing pain in her temples and a vision flashes in her mind*

*she pulls away, a bit startled, and tilts her head looking at Zorah and stroking her neck*

Zorah...you were there when Draco found me weren't you? I just saw that...it's so strange. I feel...

*sighs*

Nevermind. Thank you baby girl.

*hugs her again*

Oh! I brought you some brandy. I thought we'd each have a bottle but considering your size, you may need both now.

*smiles and grabs one of the bottles*

[Zorah]

Mmrrm!

~grunts and steps nearer her, then lies down~

~tail lightly curls around Silvery's ankles~

[Silvery Bletchley]

*sits down next to her and feeds her the brandy, deep in thought*

*her other hand gently stroking the rough scaly skin of her side*

[Zorah]

~the bottle of brandy is only a few gulps to her now~

~rests head on the ground and closes eyes~

[Silvery Bletchley]

Zor...

*closes her eyes and lays her head on Zorah, feeling a bit lightheaded*

[Draco Malfoy]

*apparates*

Silv?

*strokes Zorah's side and takes the bottle off Silvery... again*

Stop bloody drinking, woman!
