But then she said something. Catch the cat? 'Are you talking to me?' 'Cause the train corridor was pretty crowded, you know. She could've been addressing anyone.
With this hesitation, Ariadne had wasted precious moments in which the cat darted forward and was now at a considerable distance. It was all her fault! 'Here, kitty, kitty! Come here!' she tried to call the animal back, but it kept running. There was no other choice but to run after it.
'I'm sorry, I can fix this!' she yelled back at the cat's owner, trying to make her way through the crowd of students.
WHY were students dense sometimes?! Louisa wanted to roll her eyes and shout a 'yes' at the girl before her evil cat ran away and the Ravenclaw had to check every compartment and cat carrier in this whole train to find the sneaky feline. However, the girl caught up to what Louisa was trying to do and quickly ran after the cat, the seventeen years old continued to squeeze and jog through the students, her cat basket cradled in her arms and sincerely hoping that the unnamed kitten won't wake up from all the rocking.
The tabby Viola wasn't that quick in escaping, since the corridor was this crowded, so the girl should get it easily. This made Louisa feel slightly relaxed and slow down her pace while her eyes hung on the back of the girl, "
DON'T WORRY SHE WON'T BITE YOU!" So that the girl won't be alarmed or hesitant with the cat. "
SHE'S VIOLA!" And with that the seventh year student simply waited in her spot for the girl to get the cat and come back to her. She was wearing a thick darn hoodie and soaking wet from this few seconds of jogging. No more running after them.
