Jog on mate!

[Harriet Turner]

The sun had bearly risen on the second full day of school when Harri was restlessly pacing around the dorm. She couldn't lie in bed anymore, and as she looked around at the other girls sleepings she envied them slightly, ever since the holidays she had found herself waking earlier and earlier and she hated it! But what could she do? She went down to the common room, knowing it was far to early to go outside just yet, taking her sketch pad and drawing equpitment with her. Jaspar, who was fast growing in to a lean ginger cat, at her heals. She slumped down in the comfiest arm chair and drew him. She hadn't realised how long she had been sitting there, for when she looked out at the clock she saw it was about 9:00am. Finally now she could go outside. She ran up to the dorm and pulled on a pair of trackie bottoms and a hollster t-shirt that was lurking in her draws. And practically ran out of the dorm. Now what should she do? The corridors were empty, it appeared that no one was around, so she walked out to the gardens, done a thorough warm up and began jogging. A cold wind hit her square in the face, but she carried on.
Normally Harri hated running, but since she began Hogwarts she had found it as a great way to think and zone out. Her heart pounded quicker and quicker as she sped up feeling the wind rush around her body. She was going faster and faster, no longer jogging but in full sprint. She came to an abrupt halt as she heard a small "Miaow!" , she span on her heel seeing that Jaspar was a few feet back "What are you doing here!" she said laughing, he had obviously been attempting to keep up with her, but as she sprinted he knew he would be able to. "Go back to the dorm!" she said firmly, but he plunked himself stubbornly on the floor, acting more like a dog then a cat. "Fine come on then," she said jogging off again pleased to see he followed. "I'll go slow just for you," she said, laughing at how silly they must look. Cat and owner jogging like friends.
