If anyone could turn a negative in a positive, it was Cavalyn Dee Haviland. It was terrible that Headmistress McGonagall was missing, and Cav, having so much respect for the Headmistress, couldn't deny that and hoped she could do her part in getting the amazing woman back to her post. However, patrolling at Hogwarts had allowed Cav to see her best friend Jens, walk around a campus she loved, and to spend time with Nora, an Auror-in-Training she had come to adore. Then again, Cav adored most people she regularly interacted with.
Walking about the Viaduct Courtyard, Cav took in the nature that she also missed. It was difficult to take in such nature in London, especially in Diagon Alley. So she was happy to be away from the city and around it. She did feel a bit odd patrolling the school of all places though. It hurt her heart to know the students could be in danger. But she was glad she was there to protect them.
Having a little bit of a break from her patrol, Cav decided to really enjoy the nature, and with an adorable but mischievous grin she changed into a mongoose. The creature playfully ran about the area, hoping to surprise Nora if she came looking for her.

There were bad things happening all around, and with the kidnapping of Headmistress McGonagall, the Aurors-in-Training took turns patrolling the grounds of Hogwarts. It was a bit strange going back to Hogwarts not as a student but as a protector of the students, but it made Nora happy despite the circumstances. She had a hard time leaving Hogwarts at all knowing that she didn't have a kingdom to return to, but her job at the Ministry secured her a flat in Muggle London where she felt at home. Eventually she would reclaim her kingdom, but for now she had to help the students and staff of Hogwarts stand their own ground. Nora was conflicted; on the one hand she had her own kingdom to secure, but on the other she had come to know Hogwarts as her second home and had ties there beyond being the future Queen of her kingdom. Still, Nora had mental conflict about her choices in her life, prompting her to take a break now and again away from the others.
Thankfully she found a very good friend in a fellow Auror-In-Training, Cav. Cavalyn made Nora feel as though she could talk about anything and her secrets and deepest insecurities be safe. Cav meant a lot to Nora, whether she realized it or not. It was often in times of deep mental thought that she sought out her friend, which was what brought Nora to the Viaduct Courtyard, looking for her friend. She didn't need to express her concerns to Cav that particularly day; no, being around the girl was enough to expel her stressing thoughts.

In her mongoose form, Cav scurried about on her little break, eating up the joys of running about the exterior of Hogwarts again. She kept at her play until she spotted Nora. She was so happy to see that her good friend had come out to the courtyard. Cav thought the world of Nora. They had become fast friends, especially once they began training together. As being her friend, Cav thought it would be fun to play a silly trick on her. It was one she had played on her friend before, and she doubted it would be any less harmless this time. The mongoose scurried up behind Nora, as quiet as mouse. When she saw an opening, the mongoose climbed up Nora's leg, then her back, then hoped on her shoulder before leaping off. When the mongoose hit the ground in front of her, she morphed back into her human form. "Boo!" she said with a smile before giggling. She then hugged her friend. "Hey there! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I was taking my break and decided to change and get a little exercise. It's a lot more fun being a mongoose here than it is in Diagon Alley."NORA HELENE CRAWFORD

As Nora searched the grounds for her friend, she was startled by a wiggling up her leg and back. Nora subconsciously let out a shriek and withdrew her wand, turning round just in time to feel and see the mongoose leap off her shoulder and transform into none other than Cavalyn. Nora's free hand clutched her chest and she breathed steadily, releasing a big sigh as Cav giggled. "You scared me half to death!" Nora said with a slight chuckle, standing upright in order to receive her friend's hug. Nora wrapped her arm around Cav's shoulder and shook her head as she pulled away, giving Cavalyn a disapproving look. "I guess I can forgive you," she said and chuckled. It was funny now, but in the moment it wasn't so funny. Being on guard at practically all times meant Nora mentally prepared for the worst - a sneak attack from enemy lines, dementors, anything like that. Cav definitely spooked her, that was certain.
"So how are you?" Nora asked, smiling. Settled from her near-heart attack, she was glad that she managed to find Cav on the grounds. Being around her made Nora feel protected in a sense; she was strong all on her own, but Cav was a little older and always meant well, making Nora feel like she had a real friend and someone who looked after her. With her lack of parents, having an older person to admire and have a friendship with meant the world.

Cav laughed a little when Nora said she scared her half to death. She wasn't going for terrifying her friend of course, but was definitely going for a good-natured startle. "Hehe, I like to keep you on your toes," she said. "Though maybe I should watch it. You went for that wand rather quickly. I could have been a stupified mongoose!" She then giggled again. "But hey that's a good thing, right? If the wrong sort shows up to mess with Nora Crawford, her wand will be at the ready to send them to Azkaban!" She then made a wand-aiming motion without the wand actually in her hand. "Phew! Phew! Expelliarmus!!!"
She then smiled when Nora asked how she was. "I'm great!" she said. "It's so fun being back here! I missed this school so much. I mean, it's bad that we have to be here for such a gloomy reason, but it's still nice. I get to see my best friend Jensy, I get to see Hagrid, and you have to admit it is cool that we get to protect the school." Cav was an absolute sweetheart, but she had dedicated a good few years of her life to the idea of becoming an Auror, and to be trusted with such a mission ensured her she had made the right career decision. "So how are you, sweetie?"NORA HELENE CRAWFORD

Nora shook her head and laughed. "Keep me on my toes? Well thanks - 'preciate that," she said laughing. "Hey you've got to be prepared, right?" she asked, looking to her wand that was now lowered at her side. She'd never cast a spell without making sure her target was of the enemy side, but Cav knew that; that scenario was part of what they learned in the training camps. Sure Nora wasn't as advanced as some of the Aurors, but she had earned herself respect among the Aurors-in-Training due to her already acquired skills.
She nodded as she listened to Cav explain how great things were. "I'm glad! I'm definitely glad to be back - it's strange, but it's great, too," she admitted. Nora didn't think she'd return to Hogwarts so quickly after graduation, but she had to say it wasn't a bad thing. "I'm doing well, you know, just keeping my eye out. I have a few friends that were a year or two behind me so I get to see them again which is great...it's a little weird walking around like an authoritative figure over some of my friends, but I guess it's the job," she explained with a grin. Nora nodded and started walking forward, indicating to Cav she should follow. "So since it seems we're both on break, have any exciting ideas we might be able to pursue?"

Cav beamed and nodded. She was sure at some point Nora would do something to place Cav at the ready, and of course Cav would do as Nora did, and make sure she knew who she was aiming at first before she cast a spell. "Indeed you do," she said. "Though it's been very quiet around here. Do you think the people who took poor Professor McGonagall will actually come back? Part of me hopes so. I'd love to Stupefy the one behind this." Her sweet voice sounded bitter at this, but who could blame her. Most who loved and respected the Headmistress felt that way. Cav was glad that Nora was glad to be back to and getting to see old friends. Perhaps at some point they could get all their friends together and have a big dinner at the Three Broomsticks. "I know what you mean about being all authoritative," she said. "I think some of our old professors even look at us differently. Well Professor Grimp does anyway, but that might be because he used to be an Auror and all."Cav then thought about what they could do on their break. She then had a fun idea. "Maybe we can go to the Pitch while it's empty," she said. "We can grab some of the brooms from the supply shed and race around. I don't think anyone would mind, do you?"NORA HELENE CRAWFORD

She nodded silently, then sighed before she spoke. "Too quiet if you ask me. No one just kidnaps the Headmistress and disappears without a trace, ya know? I'm sure they're planning something," she said and then shrugged. "I dunno if they'll come back, but it probably wouldn't be any time soon. I mean they did it during summer, at night when they knew no one would be prepared for anything like that so...seems pretty cowardly to me."
Nora chuckled. "They definitely do - I think it's just the whole Auror thing you know, like we were once little kids here and now we're grown-" she said, then added, "well most of you guys are older than me but still, it's like we're all adults now."
Cav's idea of fun made Nora giggle. "No, I think that sounds perfect!" she said with a wide grin. She looped her arm through Cav's and pulled her forward slightly, releasing a soft laugh as she headed in the direction of the pitch. "I haven't been on a broom for a little while - I might not be as good as you," she teased.

(Note: I promoted Cavalyn to Auror because she has been in training for three years, but she is still an AIT in this thread.) Cavalyn nodded about how cowardly the attack was. Cav sometimes wondered why she wasn't sorted in Gryffindor in school instead of Hufflepuff. Cav was extremely brave and even in training, she had stood up to some pretty wicked dark magic users. "Well they can't hide forever," she said. "Harry will find them. I mean, look at who he defeated, and he was just a boy then. They don't know who they're messing with... especially with you and I watching Harry's back!"
Cav totally understood what Nora meant about how they were adults... and Aurors and how that caused them to be treated a bit differently. "I think one of them who remembered me almost told me to go to class yesterday," she chuckled. "Then the Professor just blushed and walked away."Cav giggled and hugged Nora when she agreed to the idea. "It's going to be so much fun!" she shouted. "And don't worry. I mostly apparate these days as opposed to flying, so we'll probably be pretty even there."Cav made her way to the Pitch and grabbed the brooms from the shed. She handed Nora one and mounted her own. "Ready when you are!" she said. NORA HELENE CRAWFORD
