Eh-oh and uh-oh. (open RP / ongoing event)

There had been only the most obscure and private of warnings. There were beings who could have predicted the event, with runes or through oracular visions, or by whatever arcane powers they brought with them to Hogwarts -- whatever powers had not fallen prey to the castle's unpredictable field of interference. But how might they have prevented it

Pets may have been safe, but Bucky was nobody's pet, no matter what Rob and the vet and police records might say

Severus was frowning over a new and elaborate drawing of the nose, complete with cell diagrams. The nose in the picture was enormous, hooked, crooked, pointed and enormous, even proportionally. The drawing itself was enormous, covering his entire desk, the end curling onto the floor. He hummed in satisfaction, considering it, as he considered each piece-in-progress, his master work. Nothing had spontaneously combusted yet, and he did not notice the strange light sneaking around his curtains.

He heard the grumblings and scratch of claws in the hall, and sighed in frustration at the imminent interruption to the creation of his masterpiece. The next stage was going to demonstrate much formation and the advantages born by the illustrious nose of his diagram over smaller, lesser noses.

Carefully he blotted his quill and its violent green ink, then ventured into the hall to face the latest disaster.

"Hey, just the lady I wanted to see." To Bucky, there wasn't much point in discriminating between "male" and "female" in species that he wasn't interested in dating. "I need you to fix me. Except not like that." He unwrapped the towel, exposing the charred fur and rising blister on his back, just a few inches above the base of his tail. "It hurts. Also I'd like the fur back just the way it was. Oh," he added in an offhanded way, "the library might be on fire. I didn't do it."

"I'm not a lady, you ignorant feline. That's the flaw in cats. They don't think." He gets out the orange burn paste and begins to apply it, thinking that as surely as Michael will do his duty with Aguamenti, he himself must patch up this careless, disagreeable idiot. He will be down to the library ASAP, the books in the restricted section worth the lives of almost everyone in the school.

((OH GOD I AM SO SORRY.))

"Severus, Severus, Severus." Bucky shook his head in disappointment at his idol's lack of knowledge of cats, and arched into the burn paste. Not out of any great happiness--just that weird cat reflex that they do sometimes. "It's impossible to think during a marathon nap. You have to use all that brain power to concentrate on the big picture. After the first twelve hours, it's a real strain to keep going."
