“As many as have ever been made, every genre, every language, all you need to do is ask and I will queue it up for you.” Maurice explained proudly. “May I suggest something light to start with, a musical perhaps, or maybe a comedy.”

“How about something quiet to start with” Sirius suggested

Maurice raised an eyebrow and gave Sirius a knowing nod, “Knackered or still sloshed?” …..

Gustavas could feel the hair on the back of his neck standing straight up, that could only mean the hunters were near, or more particularly, his brother Brutus was closing in on him. Clutching the still gory stump of his arm to his chest, Gustavas stood stone still, attempting to either hear or sense his brother and whomever was with him. “Only three” he thought, “Brutus, Cash and one other, a young one, a Caitiff it seems.” The Tremere sneered silently as he scented the youngest of the hunters, did they think he was so weak that a mere child would be able to stop him?

The Caitiff hunter was perhaps a century or so old, hardly a seasoned hunter were the skills of the Tremere were concerned, but certainly old enough to have a fair amount of healing power within his blood. Gustavas looked down at the festering stump the Sidhe had left him with, he wasn’t sure what she had done to him, but the wound refused to heal, despite the numerous spells and treatments he had used. He once more cursed the Bean Sidhe and her people for the trouble and harm she had caused him., he would get his revenge on her yet, and he would start with her son, that much was certain.

But first things first, he needed to feed if he wanted any chance of healing, and the young Caitiff was a perfect target. Gustavas silently moved through the forest, smiling to himself as he felt the threesome separate, presumably to cover more ground. He paused momentarily when he felt both Brutus and Cash mask their presence, but he had felt them moving West and South, while he was to the East of them, the direction the Caitiff was now heading. ….. <>P Cat rolled her eyes as Sara pushed passed her, taking the seat next to Harry, only to be followed by Mea and Tanja who filled up the row. Moving to sit in the next row behind Harry, she was once again pushed aside as Zach, LJ and Einy grabbed their seats. “Looks like you and Uncle Sirius are sitting next to each other.” Moira stated, a wide smile on her face as she and Calli took the seats in front of Harry.

“Yeh, funny how that worked out, isn’t it?” Cat deadpanned, slightly annoyed that she wouldn’t be able to sit next to her son during his first real movie. “So, who gave the orders for this little game?”

Moira rolled her eyes, “Do you want the ‘whole’ list, or the abbreviated one. Honestly, if one more person pulled us aside and told us to make the two of you sit together, I truly think I would have screamed blue murder.” Seeing the look on Cat’s face, Moira grinned and added, “Don’t look so glum, they told us to do the same with Aunt Tris and Remus…or should we be calling him ‘uncle’ Remus now?” Moira ducked and laughed as Cat threw a handful of popcorn at her.

“Harry Sweetie, you let me know if you need anything. It seems I’m being pushed to the back row.” she stated, staring pointedly at both Moira and Sara.

“Better than us, looks like we’re left with the first row.” Remus grinned as he walked passed her. His grin became even wider as Cat screeched and jumped, doing a strange little dance as he walked by her. “Why Kitty, what has come over you?”

“You Brat!!” Cat seethed, still shimmying about, “You get this ice cube out of my blouse NOW mister.”

“You go sit down and try to behave yourself Moony” Sirius winked, “I’ll help Cat.” he insisted as he reached his hand down the back of her blouse, attempting to fish out the ice cube. “Come on now gra, I can’t get it if you keep moving around like that.” he added, smiling wickedly as he felt her shiver from the cold. “I’m afraid we’ll just have to pull out your blouse, its caught at your waist I think.”

“You and he planned this, didn’t you?” Cat chattered, as Sirius helped her with her blouse. “You are both in so much trouble once I get this out.”

“Don’t blame me, gra. This was all your friends idea, he thought it might encourage you to cuddle, you know, for warmth.” Sirius laughed, wrapping his arms around her as the ice cube landed with a sharp click on the polished wooden floor.

“Good thing he got that out Kitty” Remus grinned, “it seems Maurice uses the never melting variety of cubes. That’s awfully nice of him, keeps the drinks good and cold until you’re done.” he disappeared suddenly as Tris grabbed his arm and forcefully pulled him down into his seat, a warning look on her face. Turning back to look at Sirius and Kitty, he added meekly “Then again, I think I’ll just stay here for a while, sitting quietly, looking for garlic or a wooden stake or something.” Ducking just as Tris’s hand went to hit him across the back of his head.

Sirius and Cat laughed at Remus’s comment as they made their way to their seats. However, just as Cat was about to sit, she felt Sirius stopping her, “What is it Siri? Is something wrong?”

“Not for long it isn’t,” he grinned, touching the arm between their seats with his hand, he closed his eyes as the transformed wand glowed softly around his wrist. “There, that’s much better.” he stated as the arm disappeared, creating a love seat for the two of them to share. “After you m’lady” he whispered, bowing politely and kissing her on the cheek as she tried to duck passed him. “Now don’t tell me you intend to play hard-to-get.” he teased as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, smiling brightly as he heard her giggle softly. “Shhh, no more giggling Cat, you don’t want the children to think we’re up to something, do you?” he teased, watching her smile get wider and wider.

“I hate to break it to you Siri, but the children were instructed to ‘encourage’ something. They would consider it mission accomplished if we did.” Cat replied, grinning at the look of amusement on Sirius’s face.

“Well, in that case, I don’t think we should disappoint them.” he replied, pulling her tightly against him as he kissed her tenderly.

“Hey, quite in the back,” Zach yelled, only to be elbowed by LJ and Einy……

Gustavas grinned wickedly as he saw the form of the Caitiff hunter approaching him, the child would have seemed silent as a ghost to a human, but to the Tremere, he was all but shouting out his presence. Carefully circling behind the young hunter, Gus waited patiently for the child to sense him and begin to panic. The young ones always panicked, they simple had no chance against someone as old as he was, and they seemed to instinctively know their only hope was to evade or escape.

Cobryn continued his way through the forest, his eyes glittering as he felt the dark and unnerving presence of the Tremere known as Gustavas. It seemed Cash was right, the injured Tremere couldn’t resist the draw of his deceptively young blood. Now all he had to do was to keep the creature occupied until the very last moment. Cobryn’s quick mind raced with thoughts of what he could do to make himself seem an easy target, but not too helpless, after all, the Tremere was no fool, if Cobryn didn’t play this just right, he would realize what was happening, and that wouldn’t be good for any of them…..

Harry looked back and smiled as he saw Cat and Sirius cuddled up next to each other, sharing popcorn and smiling. He blushed slightly when Sirius caught him watching them, but his embarrassment quickly turned into a smile when his godfather winked and nudged Cat, who also smiled and waved at him. Harry turned back to watch the screen, sighing deeply as he realized how content he felt. This was the closest to perfect his life had ever been, he had a family now, one that loved and cared for him; he had a mother, and no doubt soon a father, and hopefully he would have a little brother or sister by this time next year.

He looked around him, watching his cousins as they watched the movie. Sara, his favourite cousin was next to him, he could always count on her to liven things up. Mea, her fiercest competitor and partner in crime next to her, and Tanja, with her ever present python at the end of the row. Meanwhile the boys behind him, LJ, Einy and Zach seemed to be busy planning some sort of mischief for later, something Harry was sure Moira would know about and put an end to. He looked down in front of him and smiled as he saw her strawberry blonde hair in the flickering light of the screen. She had been so weak and cold yesterday, and now, well….now she just looked beautiful. Harry felt a slight shudder run down his spine as he remembered the New Year’s kiss they had shared last night. So far she had been the first girl not to run away the moment their lips touched, it was a very nice and warming feeling to him.

Feeling a pair of eyes on him, Harry turned to see little Callista staring pointedly at him as he watched Moira. Feeling suddenly uncomfortable, Harry turned his attention to Remus who had slipped his arm around Tris’s shoulder. Looking back, Harry quickly got Cat’s attention and pointed towards Tris and Remus, he grinned as his mum nudged Sirius who’s smile turned mischievous as he saw his best friend and Tris getting comfortable.

“Hey, gra” Sirius whispered, “looks like you may get that double wedding yet. I can‘t believe after all this time Moony‘s finally found someone.” he sighed, pulling Cat against him and kissing the crown of her head as he watched his friend pull Tris closer and do the same.

“You just let them be Siri,” Cat warned, “Tris is a bit skittish in the romance department, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want her interfering with you.”

“You mean she hasn’t been?” Sirius asked dryly, remembering all the times Tris had stepped between them or pulled Cat off to the side when he tried to get ’too’ close to her.

“She’s just protective of me Siri, …..she doesn’t want to see me hurt again.” she added softly, turning her head as she saw the flicker of shame and hurt in his eyes.

“Don’t gra,…don’t turn away from me” Siri whispered as he gently forced her head onto his shoulder. He remained quite for several minutes, completely lost as to what to say to her, but relieved that she seemed content to lean against him. Before he knew what he was doing, he found himself playing with the curls at the back of her neck, just like he used to. “Hey look gra, its your favourite part, the cowardly lion.” he teased, hoping to lighten the mood and change the subject.

“That’s not my favourite part, the flying monkeys are.” she replied, slapping his chest playfully as he laughed, knowing full well the flying monkeys had given her nightmares the first time she had seen The Wizard of Oz. They both snickered as the children turned around to hush them, including Harry. “Well it seems like our little boy is enjoying himself” Sirius whispered as he watched Harry and Sara sharing popcorn and pointing at the screen…..

“I can’t believe you’ve never seen this before” Sara stated “it’s a classic, Maurice always has it near the top of his all time favourite movies, with both this soundtrack and the Pink Floyd one. But he tells us we’re too young to hear that version.” she added, screwing up her face as she did so. “But I like the next one even better, and I’ll be Aunt Kitty and Uncle Sirius will like it as well.” she added winking.

“Why is that? Is it romantic or something?”

“Very, and sad, and funny” she leaned in closer to Harry, “and the woman in the film is a redhead just like Aunt Kitty. I’ll bet they’ll be making out before its over, either that or they’ll be crying, she dies in the end.”

“Oh, lovely” Harry groaned, “somehow I don’t think that will help matters.” he sighed, only to startle as he felt something crawl across his feet. “What was that?!” he gasped, feeling a heavy weight as he tried to lift his feet from the floor.

“What is what?” Sara asked, knitting her brows as she looked down at the floor, only to laugh moments later. “Hey, cousin, do that snake-talk thing, Monty is on the prowl.”

“Monty?” Harry repeated as he blindly reached towards the darkness of the floor. He smirked at Sara as he felt Monty’s cool, smooth scales under his fingertips. “Thanks Monty, now I feel like a complete idiot, next time let me know if you’re going to use my feet as a bridge. What are you doing down there anyway?”

Monty raised her head and turned her alert eyes to meet Harry’s “Huuuntinnng” she hissed, “I hearrrr sssssmall feeeeet” and without further explanation, returned her attention to the task at hand, slithering off into the darkness in search of her prey. Just as Harry opened his mouth to ask Tanja if Monty should be roaming the theatre, he saw Moira stomping out the door, with an obviously angry Calli right behind her…..

Cobryn pretended to be distracted, his eyes flickering back and forth as he felt the Tremere growing closer and closer. His normally still heart felt as if it were pounding against his ribs, he knew it was a big risk, but the Tremere had to be close to him if this was going to work, close enough to grab onto and not let go, no matter what.

Hearing a sinister laugh, Cobryn finally turned around and gasped as he saw Gustavas MUCH closer than he had anticipated. Taking a slow and uncertain step backward, Cobryn looked the creature in his eyes and shuddered as he realized that this being before him had lost his soul centuries before, more than likely while he was still mortal.

“Well, well, what do we have here?” Gustavas growled, a sickly smile on his ashen face. “A childer left all alone out here in the deep, dark forest. Tsk, tsk, how irresponsible of your sire, doesn’t he know what evil lurks in the shadows of these trees?”

That was all it took to snap Cobryn out of the fear-induced haze the Tremere had placed over him. The mere thought of his ‘sire’, the creature that had done this to him, the one that had robbed him of his loving wife’s companionship. The one that had laughed so cruelly at him as he wept for the loss of his family and friends. The one that Cobryn himself had destroyed, “My ‘sire’ thinks very little, the dead tend not to be very interested in using their brains. Not that that’s any great shock, considering the state of them.” Cobryn retorted, all trace of nervousness gone from his body and his voice. “It’s a state I’m sure you will become familiar with quite soon.”

“I think you over confident in your abilities, boy.” Gustavas sneered, licking his sharp, yellowing teeth as he took another step towards the young vampyre. “So, Caitiff is it? I’ve felt more and more of you each day, so nice of Cash to order out for lunch, I must remember to thank him the next time our paths cross.”

“That may be sooner than you expect Tremere.” Cobryn grinned, “All it will take is one scream, one momentary flare of my mind, and he will be here at my side.”

“What a coincidence” Gus smirked, “because a moment is all you have left.”……..

Feeling Cat nudge him in the side, Siri turned to see a distressed look on her face. “Siri, have you seen Calli? She left with Moira but she never came back.”

“No, but hang on and I’ll ask Harry, she tends to tag along near him.” Sirius replied, kissing cat on the cheek as he left his seat and headed towards Harry, playfully swatting at LJ as he passed by the boys. “Hey, pssst, Harry? Have you seen Callista?” Sirius asked quietly, “I saw her follow Moira to the restrooms, but I haven’t seen her since. Did she move her seat? She didn‘t look very happy with Moira when they left.”

Harry narrowed his eyes to look around the nearly empty theatre. “I don’t see her either, maybe she’s gone to get more popcorn.” he guessed, shaking his empty bag. “I’m going to get some more too, I’ll look for her while I’m there.”

Sirius’s face twisted for a moment, concern and worry evident, “I don’t know Harry, why don’t I just get….”

“Sirius” Harry sighed, “this isn’t MoM headquarters, this is Mum’s land. No Malfoy, no Voldemort…..No Snape” he added, grinning widely as his godfather chuckled at him.

“Alright, alright, you’ve made your point. But I’m telling you up front, five minutes and not a second more, or I’ll come looking for you, and they she’ll come looking for us.” he added, nodding towards Cat whose eyes were fixed on the two of them. “She watches you like a hawk, I actually think she may be worse than me.”

“Worse that you? Never, just couldn’t happen,….even my luck isn’t THAT bad.” Harry retorted, winning a shocked look from Sirius.

“Get moving before I change my mind, smarty-pants. And remember, five minutes, not a moment longer, I‘m timing you.” he stated, pulling out the pocket watch Remus had given him for Christmas to prove his point.

Shaking his head, Harry walked out into the softly lit hallway and straight towards the snack bar, leave it to his Mum to get the ‘all you can handle package‘ as Maurice had referred to it. Free refills on everything and an assortment of candies to choose from as well. With a pang of regret, Harry found himself wishing Ron and Hermione were here with him, enjoying his family as much as he was, but they would be returning to school in a fortnight or so, and then the fun would really begin. Harry tried to fight off a smile as he thought of all the mischief Sara alone could cause in Potions, let alone with he and Ron.

“Well, someone seems to be enjoying himself.” Maurice’s friendly voice rang out as he met him at the snack counter. “Endora, come now girl, don’t be slow, help the young gentleman.” Maurice encourages, smiling kindly at the girl behind the counter, “She’s new to us here, but she’s learning very quickly.” he beamed.

Harry tried not to stare as he handed the girl his empty bag, but he knew his eyes must have looked as large as teacups. He had never seen anything like her, not even among his own clan, her skin was a tawny brown colour, her eyes pink, and her hair seemed to be more like grass than hair. He turned away as she saw him staring at her, but instead of being angry, her cheeks turned a deep maroon colour as her ‘hair’ suddenly burst into a carpet of small, multi-coloured flower buds.

“How precious, you’ve made her blush,” Maurice teased. “and may I add how lovely your blossoms are my dear Endora.” he added, causing her cheeks to darken and the buds to burst into full bloom. “Oh dear, now I’ve seemed to have done it. Come my dear young MacLeod, let me take you away from here before we have to ask Fergus to mow the poor child.”

“So, are you enjoying the movies? You know your Aunt Orpha has rung me up several times since you’ve arrived. Why didn’t you tell me your father was about to be hand fasted to your mother. Ah, dear little Catri, I remember her coming here with her mother.” he stated, sighing softly as warm memories came back to him.

“What do you mean, ’Handfast’? What’s that, and when is it supposed to happen?”

“What is?…. Do you mean to tell me they haven’t discussed it with you yet, their own son? Seems a bit odd.” Maurice bristled, feeling completely offended for Harry.

“I honestly don’t think ’they’ know anything about it,” Harry explained, “but if it means they’ll be together and I can be a big brother, I’m all for it, and I know Sirius will be too.”

“No doubt” Maurice grinned, winking playfully as he guided Harry back to the correct hall. “just down and to the left, mind you don’t get lost, its much bigger in here than you can possibly imagine. I know it looks tiny from the outside, and that tends to throw people the first time they visit, but I just seem to keep adding on.”

That was an understatement, it was mind-bogglingly huge, but Harry wasn’t worried, over the past few days he had begun to realize that if he relaxed and let his mind open up, he could easily ’feel’ his family, especially Cat. It gave him a strange sense of comfort, the thought that no matter where he was he would never be truly alone, never be lost or abandoned ever again, never be unloved, he was part of a clan now and his world had changed in ways he couldn’t even being to explain.

Just as he was about to open the door to the room with his clan, he paused as he heard what he thought was crying. Knitting his brow, he peered into the shadows seeing something moving but not knowing what. “Who’s there? Are you alright?”

“Go away” sniffled a familiar voice, “go back inside and let me alone, better yet, take my seat, you can sit next to ‘her’, I’m sure that would make you happy.”

“Callista? Is that you? What’s wrong?” He asked, immediately concerned over her words and behaviour. “Hey, why are you crying?”

“I’m not crying” Calli spat back as she wiped the tears from her face, “I said go away, I don’t want to talk to you, I don’t want to talk to anyone, so don’t go running to your Mum either.” she warned as she narrowed her puffy, red eyes.

“I won’t Callista, not if you don’t want me to, honest. I’m just worried about you, do want me to get Sara or Moira or anyone?”

“Oh, of course you would suggest ‘her’ wouldn’t you. And why are you looking at me like that?!”

“Don’t you hear that?” Harry asked, his voice a whisper as shivers ran up and down his spine. “It sounds like someone screaming.”

“That would be me, not that you care….”

“No, not yelling, screaming, as if they were terrified of something.” Harry corrected her, feeling a desperate need to find out who, or what was in trouble, but not wanting to leave Callista alone as she was obviously upset about something. “Here, hold this and lets go.” he said, handing her the bag of popcorn as he half drug her down the hallway behind him.

“You are completely mental, Harry” Calli huffed, as she pulled herself out of his grasp, but followed along behind him just the same. “I still don’t hear anything….”

“Well I do, come on, its down this hall, and be careful, I don’t want you getting hurt Calli.”

Harry held out a protective arm in front of Calli as they slowly made their way down the shadowy hall, their eyes darted quickly, alert for any movement. “Harry, there is nothing here, I’m going back.” Calli stated, turning on her heels and stomping off towards the room their clan was in. However as she approached the door, she looked back to see Harry all but swallowed up by the darkness.

Harry winced as he heard the high pitched shriek once more, followed by what sounded like a pray for deliverance, but why couldn’t Calli hear it, and why was she so upset?………..

Cobryn tasted his own blood as it dripped into his mouth from the gaping tear near his cheek. He looked up into the cold eyes of the Tremere, wondering if this would be the last thing he ever saw. Cringing as the foul breath of the creature filled his lungs, choking him with the stench of evil and decay, Cobryn quickly made up his mind. Plans be damned, he had had more than enough of this, no more pretending to be helpless, obviously something had happened to the others as no one had attacked the Tremere from behind as he had expected.

Growling fiercely, Cobryn twisted under the suffocating weight of Gustavas, freeing one arm, which he immediately used to inflict pain on the Tremere. Grabbing Gus’s mangled stump, Cobryn dug his fingers into it, tightening them like a vice grip as the vampyre howled in pain and anger……

“Shouldn’t we help him” Roel asked, “I know you told us all to mask ourselves and wait in the woods, but isn’t it time we revealed our presence?” A look of concern shone in Roel’s eyes, but Cash was their leader, and Gangrels were nothing if not loyal, and regardless of his own concerns or feelings, Roel would never oppose Cash’s decisions regarding an outsider.

“Not just yet, he’s in not in mortal danger and the longer Gus stay preoccupied, the closer Brutus can get to him. Besides, I want that Caitiff to understand the value of clan, and of loyalty, not to mention trust.” Cash added, “Daithi has sent him to spy on us, just as I expected, but this one is after something more, and until I know what, only the expected courtesies will be given to him, nothing more.”

“May I suggest that keeping him alive would be considered one of the more ‘basic’ courtesies?” Angus asked, drawing Cash’s attention back to the battle before them. “It seems the Tremere’s dark magic is being employed.”

Cash narrowed his eyes hatefully at the Tremere, “Well, not exactly sporting of him, is it?” he snarled as he dug his heels into the frozen ground. “Remember the plan, chase him right to the spot he killed our Olia, Brutus will be waiting for you there. Herd him right down the middle, ….I’ll be right behind him.”

Getting up a good head of steam, Cash shot off towards the battling vampyres, ducking low as he speared Gus in the lower section of the Tremere’s back. He grinned viciously as he heard the satisfying crunch of Gus’s vertebrae, signifying what he hoped would be the beginning of the end for the wretched creature. Rolling quickly to his feet as the Tremere hit the cold, hard ground, Cash quickly yanked Cobryn to his feet, feeling a pang of guilt as he saw the sickened look on the young Caitiff’s face. “You alright?”

“I will be once I get that foul scent off of me” Cobryn growled, more angered than anything else. “Must it be Brutus who kills him? Because I wouldn’t mind taking him down….”

“Yes, Brutus must deliver the killing blow, but please, feel free to take a piece or two of him along the way.” Cash grinned, surprised to see the complete lack of fear in the Caitiff’s eyes, he knew of many vampyres several centuries older than Cobryn who would have panicked and ran by now.

“Well it seemed if nothing else, the Caitiff hunter has earned Cash’s respect this day, if not his trust.” Angus commented to Roel as the two took their positions, waiting for the Tremere to rise to his feet so they could chase him towards Brutus. “You ready to scream like one of our beansidhes? And I don’t mean the young ones, I mean an old one, like Maharet or Orpha.” he added, giving Roel a lopsided grin as his friend chuckled.

“Ah yes, the ‘old’ girls, what I wouldn’t give to have one of them here with us right now, or better yet, Angel.” Roel sighed.

“You know Cash will never allow her to come back here as long as the Tremere threaten the school” Angus admonished him, “He would sooner die than allow any harm to befall her or her son…..Not to mention things have been moving along smoother between her and Sirius.” he added, nodding to Roel as the both began to scream at the top of their lungs while running towards the Tremere, weapons in hand…..

Harry’s eyes grew wide as he saw what was screaming, it was a tiny grey mouse, a look of terror frozen on its face as it scampered across the floor, realizing too late that it was trapped. Harry looked in the direction the mouse had come from, expecting to see a cat stalking the poor creature, but was surprised to see none other than Monty bearing down on the defenceless rodent.

“Monty?! What are you doing? Stop it!” Harry insisted as he ran towards the python’s intended meal. “Can’t you hear it screaming? You’ve got to stop.”

“Hungryyy, want sssssnack.” Monty insisted, “Want ssssnack now.”

“Wait a minute, …Monty, just stop, you can’t eat him.” Harry insisted as he lifted the tiny grey mouse off of the floor, cradling him in the palm of his hand. He heard Monty hiss something very rude as the multi-coloured python circled around Harry’s feet. “No Monty, I’m not going to change my mind, I’ll make it up to you though, I’ll bet Maurice has some crickets here, he seems to have everything else.”

Monty’s head immediately rose several feet into the air the moment Harry mentioned the word crickets. Her tongue darted in and out of her mouth as if in anticipation of Harry’s promised snack. “Letssss gooo, Harrrrrry” she insisted, as she quickly slithered to the lobby, causing what few other patrons were there a moment of concern.

Harry smiled apologetically at the other people as he slipped the mouse in his shirt pocket and followed Monty to the counter, where the python very quickly slithered up one of the rubbish tins and waited patiently for the girl behind the counter to come over.

“Hi Endora” Harry said softly, clearing his throat as the girl stared at Monty. “I don’t suppose you have any crickets for Monty, do you?”

Endora nodded, not taking her eyes off of the snake, “Actually yes, we do, in several flavours, the Brunnin Gea like them, so do some of the under dwellers.”

Harry felt himself sigh with relief, the last thing he wanted to do was to fight Monty over the mouse, who was still shuddering in his pocket. “Great, we’ll take…uhm…” he turned to Monty, “what do you want, and how many.”

Monty looked between Endora and Harry “Lotsssss, micccce are worth lotsssss” she insisted as she stretch herself to right in front of Harry’s pocket, “essspecially, fat juiccceyyy miccce.”

“Fine, lots then, 10 barbeque and 10 sesame.” Feeling Monty’s head butt up against him, he added, “Wait Endora, make that 10 barbeque, 5 sesame, and 5,…ow… alright, 10 chocolate. Tanja really does spoil you, doesn’t she.” he stated, as Endora quickly left to place the crickets in a bag.

“You know you’re going to get sick if you eat them all, don’t you?” Harry asked, “And don’t stick your tongue out at me, I’m the one paying for them.”

“Do you really understand what he’s saying?” Endora asked as she handed the paper sack of crickets to Harry and accepted his money.
