"Moonshine?" Iolaire had been taking a walk when she noticed the little white head popping above the long grass. Moving towards the hopping form, Iolaire peered through the greenery until she could see the tiny speckled pup. "Darling, what are you doing so far from home by yourself?" Her mother had recently killed a wolf-eatng tiger. Sirius had saved one of his minions from a giant bird of prey.

"Come along," she motioned for the girl to follow her out of the long grass and onto one of the paths of chopped grass. They were both short and it would do them both well to see where they were going.
