Maddox caught her breath and looked around at her new home. "What's a lass have to do to get some oxygen around here?" she asked as she was finally able to calm down.

"You're in the wrong place, mate," declared Lulu with raised brows as she leaned forward suddenly in an attempt to catch a sprinting Sir Robin. The black-footed ferret managed to dodge her attack effectively to continue his laps around the common room. "There be no windows here, ya know? We're practically under the lake."

Orabelle asked with disbelief. What if the rats got into the kitchens? Oh, it would be horrible. Next thing you knew, there was a dead rat in your meal. How horrible.

She nodded in reply. Ferrets were useless. What was she ever going to do with a fuzzy rodent like that? Nothing. "Not much of a pygmy puff person, I'm more for horses than anything," Orabelle said simply. They were intelligent and amazing. Thinking about horses made Orabelle miss her own back at home. Orabelle listened, though not intently, as the girl talked about how 'great' the ferret was. "And he possesses the ability to scare everyone around him," Orabelle muttered under her breath, still waiting for the cat to pounce on the ferret.

"I'm Orabelle," she said as she averted her gaze and looked at the ferret owner.

Lulu stood up straight. She tilted her head to ponder at what the girl had said. "Why would anyone do that?" she asked as a reply, with furrowed brows. "What does Headmaster Tate wants with other peoples' rats?" Funny little Nugget, thought Lulu as she watched the girl out of the corner of her brown eyes. It was definitely a good idea to keep her on the watch list along with the Green Haired freak at the beginning of term feast.

Ahh! Horses. Lulu nodded noncommittally. She liked horses as much as the next person but horses were expensive and they were definitely unattainable considering her home's income. Plus, what would Lulu do with a horse? Ride it into battle? What battle? What kind of witch rode a horse into battle? Shooting spells from on top of a horse wasn't nearly as cool as, say, a dragon! Now that is impressive.

"Scary is good," said Lulu feeling flattered. She wanted to pat Robin on the head in a congratulatory manner but he was still busy running around, completely hyperactive due to the sensory overload of being back at Hogwarts. "Fear is power, they say. Nice to meetcha, Orabelle. Name's Lulu."

Lulu was wiping her hands on the back of her robes, wondering if it was a good idea to extend a hand to Orabelle or not. The most wise decision seemed to be the latter, as the constant wrinkling of Orabelle's nose was very off putting. Faith had taken the time to speak again and Lulu grinned at her wryly. "Where have ye been living then, if not Egypt? Anyhow, good on ye, eh? Going back home to see the family and all. Must be nice."

At least that's what Patterson assumed most people would say. There was nothing nice to her about going back home. It wasn't that she disliked her family but she never felt the need to be with them while she was at Hogwarts. She rarely missed them and only thought to write to home when she ran out of school supplies.

Iris was sure that was her name.) started to talk about him. "If he's so horrible, then why do you keep him?" She asked, smiling slightly. There must be something more than just the colouring that the girl likes about the ferret. Why else would you choose to keep such an awkward pet?

A kleptomaniac ferret with a disregard for self-hygiene.

That was obviously why she keeps him.

"Sir Robin. That's a very... interesting name for a ferret." Yes. She wasn't going to comment about the nature of the ferret... Each to their own, her mum always says. He can be a dirty klepto if he wants to be...

Lulu thought Iris brought up a good point. Why did she keep him? He had proved stubborn, impulsive, completely incapable of being trained and problematic. Lulu shook her head and sighed as she watched Robin leap from one armchair to the sofa, crawling over people's laps and tossing their books aside on accident. He was such a Gryffindor.

"I guess I keep him because my other option is abandoning him to the wilderness of the Forbidden Forest," explained Lulu, her speech fast and heavy with her Scottish accent. "He's clever for a ferret, don't get me wrong but he's still just a ferret. Abandoning him is a good as murder."

Lulu shrugged. "Eh," she grunted and stuck out her tongue, displeased. "He's named after Robin Hood. Still from the rich, give to the poor, aye? Except, I don't think he thinks of the poor but of himself, really."

But she wanted to be in disguise--DISGUISE, I TELL YOU--and she swiftly followed the other Slytherin green people down towards the common room (the moving staircases were a magical experience) and she zoomed throughout the dungeons.

ZOOOOOOMED. Why was it SUCH a scary place??! It was dark. It was damp. It was like the recreation of a horror movie itself, and yes, her neck was cramped and sore from turning her head every few seconds in case a serial killer had suddenly popped up for her.

But no no, she wasn't dead, yet.

Lola Jones entered the Common Room, with bits of mashed potatoes left on her face, clutching a messy, ruined green wig on her right hand and then staring out into space. She was back-in-character. Awweyeaaaaaaah. "HI GUYS. LET'S BE FRIENDS," she announced in a robotic voice, creepily staring out at the ceiling, ...quuuuite distracted.

Hehe. CEILINGS.

There was YELLING interrupting her thoughts and conversation with the Head Girl. Lulu twisted her body to observe who had just entered the common room only to realize it was Green Head the Insane; She Who Facepalms Into Bowls of Mash. "Aiiiish," hissed Lulu and tutted repeatedly. "You made it out of the bowl of Mash? Surprising." Lulu didn't think she had two brain cells to rub together.

"Maybe you and Sir Robin should be let lose into the Forbidden Forest," muttered Patterson under her breath, low so as to not be overheard, as she made chase after Sir Robin again, hoping he wouldn't go for the girl's green wig again. "As an experiment, see who makes it out first--or at all."
