You had a late shift at the small diner that you worked at, so you didn’t get home until almost midnight. As you made your way down the steps to your boyfriend’s small, basement apartment, you used the charm necklace Harry had given you to make sure that the warding on the door would let you through. As soon as you stepped in, you saw your boyfriend, with Mouse under his legs and Mister lying on his chest. With his 6’9 stature, his legs hung off the couch, and so did his arms.

Mister is a big gray tabby, with a bob tail and notched ears from many outdoor fights. He had a habit of running into people’s shins in greeting, then sitting at the door to be let out. He always showed up after dark or in the morning, but he just enjoyed the outside. Mouse is a HUGE temple dog, one that can sense things, like monsters, wizards, anything to do with magic. He was like Harry’s guard dog, but was a big, spoiled baby.
