"Oh." Sam was going to have to make sure he didn't do that too much. Oh. So a lot of people did that then. Now he didn't feel so weird. "Really? I'm glad I'm not the only one. He didn't see anyone else do it this year.Oh well.
"Nope. I'm a first year." He wondered why the girl assumed he was a second year. Could he really pass for a second year?
Louisa saw something... fluffy, crammed somewhere deep in a corner of the under staircase. The thing wasn't moving but... it could pass for a cat's tail. "
Shh!" She gestured at the boy, who turned out to be a firstie. "
Here.." Bending down slowly, "
..we.." on her fours, she started crawling forward, "
...GO!" Her hands clasped on the tail and she pulled the cat out, the poor creature screeching and clawing with her paws.
"
Aww.. come now, dear." She loosened her grip and held the angry cat in her arms, "
Looks, Sam, I've found her." Louisa started walking toward the quiet firstie, "
Meet Viola." She held the cat from under her forelegs and pushed her toward the boy for.... a paw shake? Whatever came to his mind.
While the girl was grinning satisfied of finding the
pet, Viola's eyes were half-open, apparently nonchalant of this big show. And sleepy. Naturally.
