It was near closing time and Amelia had changed into her plainer work clothes to prepare to close up the park. They still had numerous feedings to see to not to mention one of the miniature horses had an injured leg. Amelia knew under normal circumstances, this would mean death for a horse. Thankfully, they had magic on their side and it was as simple as healing it, giving the animal some potion and binding the leg for a few more days to ensure the leg was fully mended.

After saying goodbye to a few regular patrons, the redhead brought out a bucket of water and some cleaning potion to scrub down the pedestals the birds sat on for a showing. Once she tied her hair back with a kerchief, she scourgified the droppings out of the cage and dipped a rag into the water. Though this could be easily done with a spell or two, Amelia found she enjoyed the physical labor. It offered her a chance to clear her head; plus, the walk home made it that much more satisfying. The promise of a warm bed was a great way to end the day in her estimation.

She finished the pedestals in a decent amount of time. With her hands slightly chapped, she waved her wand to vanish the contents of the bucket and carried it back to the back room. She then began on the pathway to head to the miniature horse's enclosure. Amelia was humming a tune when she heard the noise. A distinct purring that had her stopping in her tracks. She surveyed the path, attempting to pinpoint the noise which eventually she figured out was coming from the bushes.

Pushing the branches aside, Amelia found a familiar orange face staring up at her, its nose wiggling slightly as it sniffed the air. "Hello, you," she said softly. The cat meowed and leaped out to walk along the path. The witch looked around again, though there was no one familiar that stood out to her. "Where's your owner, little one?" she inquired, quickening her pace after the cat. The last thing she wanted to do was lose the cat.

Just when Amelia thought perhaps she might pick the animal up to try and search the diminishing crowds, she heard a call in her direction and looked up.
