It was already very late when the others returned from the Great Gathering. Islandleap came over to Crowstripe. "Hi, how was it?" asked Crowstripe. "Pretty good, but it dragged on forever—all about those strays wandering around here." The next morning, Crowstripe woke up early. She stepped outside and breathed in the fresh air. Suddenly, Hollyleaf was standing beside her. "What are you doing?" asked Hollyleaf. "I wanted to get some fresh air," said Crowstripe. Then Hollyleaf went back into the warriors' den. But Crowstripe didn't follow; she went hunting instead. When she returned, she placed her catch on the fresh-kill pile and went back into the warriors' den.
In collaboration with @mimikawa's Miki Koen (Kiki Andrew/Mia Andrew/Rin Andrew) Prolog: Natascha Granger is the daughter of Marleen and Finn Granger. She is a witch, and her Animagus form is a black cat; as a cat, she goes by the name Crowstripe. She lived with SeaClan until the age of four, then moved to Manchester with her parents and began attending a Muggle primary school at six. At eleven, she went to Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw. There, she met Rin Andrew and her cousin Fiete Andrew, as well as Ilia Gryffindor and Darija Bloom; Ilia is a Gryffindor, while Darija is also in Ravenclaw. At the end of her first year, she met Lias Gryffindor, Ilia’s younger brother. Natascha’s older sister, Frida, also attends Hogwarts; she is two years older than Natascha and performs much better academically. While Natascha consistently gets poor grades, her sister Frida always earns top marks. Her friend Ilia also excels at school. In her first year, Natascha joined the Hogwarts orchestra, where she plays the violin. She made the Hogwarts football team in her second year and joined the Ravenclaw Quidditch team in her third. Natascha has an owl named Voldi; there is also the family owl, Nimbus, which used to belong to her mother.
