Celesti's POV

I had to take a breather as I walked into the lobby of the place, being grateful that no one had gotten hurt in the battle. My heart was racing because I was able to process what had happened. I had no idea those creatures were owned by Sting and Rogue, wizards of Sabertooth! Nor did I realize that their Head of House, er, Master was so...scary. I was grateful that my Auror training kicked in and I was able to keep my cool.

But what was with Rogue? He looked exactly like what I could see of the Death Eater, yet he saved me. Oh fudge...I owe him for that. Or are we even, since I saved Frosch from becoming lost?

I looked up as I heard the door open, rubbing my eyes. Lector and Frosch were...flying. I couldn't dwell on the fact that I was now seeing flying cats because their owners were behind them. The blonde hair one approached me and handed me my cloak and wand, saying, "Good to see you again, Celesti."

"LESTI! YOU'RE OKAY!" Lector and Frosch flew into me and tackled me to the ground, causing my cloak and wand to fly out of my hands.

I laughed a bit as I hugged them, "Yup, but make sure to thank Rogue. He came up with this plan." I got up off the ground, the two creatures not letting go of my arms and bowed to Sting and Rogue, "Thank you both for helping me out. I'm sorry if I caused any discord within your home."

Sting laughed and smiled at me, "No need to bow, Celesti. I'm impressed you stood up to Master Jiemma like that."

"Can I admit that was scary to face him?"

"I couldn't blame you. Anyhow, Rogue filled me in with the plan. We'll let you crash here with us, but is it okay if you watch Frosch and Lector sometimes while we go on missions?"

"I don't think that's a question I can answer, ask Frosch and Lector." I turned to look down at the two cats and smiled, "Do you mind if I watch you two when they need to go off on their own?"

Frosch let go of my arm and hugged my neck, "Yes, please Lesti!" Lector nodded in agreement.

As we walked up a flight of stairs, I smiled at Sting, "You've got your answer. I don't mind at all."

"Good. Yukino sometimes needs a break from these two. They can cause a lot of trouble and mischief."

"Well, I'm trained to deal with anything, so I can handle it. After all, if it wasn't for them finding me, I wouldn't have figured out some things. Where exactly are we going?"

Sting stopped in front of the first door at the top of the staircase, "Where we're all staying." He opened the door and smiled, "You first, m'lady."

I stepped in and was amazed at the quaint nature of such a place. The walls were blank for the most part, but there were quite a bit of chairs and a large couch. I turned around and faced the two Dragon Slayers, "Thank you for letting me stay here. I promise I won't be too much of a problem."

Rogue smiled calmly at me and the two Exceeds, "Thank you for agreeing to watch them." He tried to grab Frosch, but Frosch gripped onto my neck tighter. Lector curled into my right arm and I couldn't help but quietly chuckle.

"I think they've found where they're sleeping tonight. I'll just crash on the couch." I sat on the couch and smiled at the two creatures on me, "This could be tough to transfigure a couch with this, but I'll figure it out at a later date."

Sting sighed, "You sure you don't want to take either of our rooms?"

"Nope, I'll be fine! It sounds like you two have a big event coming up, so rest and get your strength back up." I managed to maneuver my feet out of my boots and laid on the couch to the best of my ability, "Thank you for everything, Sting and Rogue. You two are the future of your guild, whether you realize it or not."

"What do you mean?"

"I see that you two are close to each other and care for others. Gather those that are like that around, and your guild will prosper. Now good night!"

"Good Night, Celesti." Sting then walked into his room, but not after he put my cloak on the coffee table.

I rolled over and attempted to grab it, but Lector had managed to curl up in the crook of my shoulder. So much for trying to get warm. I rolled back over and faced the ceiling, trying to get some rest without thinking of the cold. Where Frosch and Lector were was where I was warm, but everywhere else was cold. Knowing that Rogue was still around, I bit my lip to stop from shivering.

Yet, he still knew. He came over and handed me my cloak, nodding, "Please ask next time if you need help with grabbing something."

"Sure. Thank you for my cloak." I used my one somewhat free arm to lay it on my body and the two Exceeds.

Rogue nodded at me and quietly said, "Good Night, Celesti. Feel free to wake either Sting or me up if you need something."

"No problem!" I watched Rogue enter a door on the opposite side of the apartment and snuggled into my cloak, holding onto the creatures.

I was just about to doze off when I heard a whimper close to my ear. Frosch was sad for some odd reason, so I used my left arm to rub its back, whispering, "Everything's going to be alright."

Frosch had woken up and jumped into my lap, "I'm sorry, but I had a nightmare."

"It's okay to be afraid, but remember that a nightmare isn't real. It's just a dream."

"I know, but it doesn't take the fear away." Frosch hugged my side and started to cry more, and I had to act quickly in order to avoid waking the two Dragon Slayers.

"Go back to bed, okay? I'm here to protect you. I'll even sing a lullaby to you."

"Really?" The creature's eyes lit up in happiness.

"Yes, now get comfy and as you do, I'll sing to you."

I took a deep breath in as Frosch snuggled underneath the blanket. As Frosch looked up at me, I started to sing:

"One of a kind,

Forged of steel

From a beautiful mind,

And with a mighty heart

That drove men apart.

A forgotten plain,

Where only the damaged remained,

That's where I found my destiny.

One more lost refugee.

Come with me,

Feel my Soul-Heart,

If you've been seeking a new start.

Let me be your guiding light,

'Til the end of the night.

Close your eyes

Know my Soul-Heart,

Keeping watch over the rampart.

Let me be your shining star,

Leading bright from afar.

From whoever you were,

To whoever you are.

Feel my Soul-Heart now.

Dry all your tears,

I've returned after so many years.

Let the creatures I cherish flourish now.

This is my vow:

Know forever my Soul-Heart,

Anyone seeking a new start,

Let me be your guiding light

'Til the end of the night."

As I finished the last bit of the lullaby, I heard Frosch lightly snoring. I proceeded to close my eyes and doze off in an awkward position, praying that I wouldn't wake up sore tomorrow. As my eyes shut, I swore I saw a shadow move towards Rogue's room. So as long as the creatures weren't hurt, then I did not give a damn about what the shadow was.
