Then he sees Louisa start to explain what they would be doing to start this ville or something. He then walks over to Louisa to give a suggestion on the name of this vile or whatever.
"Hey Louisa, What is this Cat or kitty ville you're talking about?"
Nigel was looking for the best chair in the common room. But it looked like Milton had already took it and was keeping it by pretending to read a book. Not that Nigel cared. But now he had to find the second best.
Louisa's attention was drawn toward a newcomer. "
Nigel!" She beamed and waved at her younger class partner, "
We're about to start working on a hangout place for all the cats that belong to Ravenclaws." She pointed at where Taylor and her friend were pushing a table away to make space for the structure. "
Do you have a cat? Would you like to help?"

Pointing her wand at one of the sticks, she concentrated as hard as her thirty-second-attention-span-cursed mind would let her.
POP. The stick was now flat, but not red. DANGIT. Ameliah was going for a red one. Oh well...regular planks were needed too, right? She gently set the plank down to start a pile for all the other ones. What was her Aunt's trick for Transfiguration? Ameliah wanted to be just as great as Aunt Lucy. This was great practice.
Wasn't this just awesome? To have hyped kids directing their over-energy to something productive and good? Like following Louisa's orders? HEHEHHE. Kidding. Louisa was no bossy boot... maybe just a liiiiiiittle. But she was joking around with them now. "
Thank you!" She halted, searching for the girl's name... and not finding it, GAH, some eye squinting and chin scratching were due before she decided to just go ahead and get to know the girl more.
"
Excuse me!" Louisa waved at her to get her attention again, after she'd transfigured a plank with her
eyes wand. "
I don't think we introduced each other officially before," awkward chuckle, "
Louisa Carter." She extended her hand to the girl. Also, no magic unless the person was sixth or seventh year.

She really didn't mind cats...but her father sure did with his allergies, so Lily wasn't allowed to own a cat. As for what they were doing, the claw grinned at her older friend... who was frowning at her now.
Why was Louisa frowning at her?? Sure her injured right hand was badly wrapped, but at least she hadn't tried to stuff that hand into her pocket. She had just kinda hid it in her long sleeves of her
sweatshirt. Maybe that was why... but who knew.
Instead, she was being motioned to follow the older claw. Lily took her left
uninjured hand out of her jeans pocket and walked over to Louisa, crouching down slightly to pet one of the head girl's cats, with her uninjured hand.
"Hiya Louisa." She said looking up at the claw.
"What do you need me to do?... I could help transfigure some of the sticks...except that with my stupid hand, I can't really do any decent magic..." She asked before mumbling towards the end. It was true though. She wasn't using her injured right hand so her left-handed magic was the best she could do... which wasn't turning out to be very good.
Turning around to face Lily again, Louisa continued to frown and sternly look at the little girl, her hands positioned on her hips all older-sister-like. "
Yeah, I'm aware of that problem which's why I'm tapping my foot on the floor disapprovingly," she even pointed at her tapping foot for the younger 'claw to know that this was no laughing matter. "
I thought you promised to take care of this. And by that I meant going to the Healer or me to bandage it." She extended her hand, "
Put it here and let me wrap it. If it doesn't improve in two days, we must get you to the Healer." But it was probably just sprained so bandaging it would do. Hopefully.
"
And you can just sit here and take care of Viola and the one I-did-not-name-yet." Seriously, this was getting ridiculous, two months and her new cat wasn't named yet. L A M E. Louisa leaned closer to Lily then and said in a quieter voice, "
I'm working on your broom issue, by the way. Don't worry." Dallin was working on the broom issue, actually, but that wasn't the point.

Or not. But it was funny, and maybe Shacklebolt would be amused.
"How about... Cloud Nine Lives? You know... cloud nine 'cause it's a haven for them, but nine lives like a cat has? Too much explanation required?" Just something clever was what she wanted. A little Shangri-La for the cats.
"How are we supposed to transfigure the wood pieces without using magic?"
Willing devotees? That sounded pretty much like half-slaves to Louisa, who chuckled at the title. "
Oh. Good to know...I think." She was joking anyways, teasing the rude Captain was fun. Only the other red head circling his chair was... circling his chair. Why, exactly?
...EH. Whatever.
There was more urging matters at hand, like naming their project! "
Cloud Nine Lives..." the Ravenclaw murmured, trying how it felt like saying it. "
I like it!" SHe beamed, "
And even if it requires a somewhat long thinking process. Only Ravenclaws should know what we're talking about when we mention the name." MORE beaming. Louisa didn't usually beam all that much in one day.
... someone spiked her drink maybe?
"
So that means you have a cat, right? Is she or he around?"

The best part was all the books that where in there, it was like Ariella was dreaming!
She walked slowing across the room, taking note of everything as she walked by, including the small group of Ravie that seemed to be talking about....a cat house? Ariella decided not to intrude but she did recognize a few people she had talked to earlier, and an older girl who Alexa had talked to earlier... Oh well! Ari finally spotted a small, comfy chair and curled up in it...
.... WHY was the first year not jumping enthusiastically at this
cat house Cloud Nine Lives project? Louisa did recognize her from the feast but didn't really catch her name yet.
More the reason to drag her in this project.
Gesturing for Lily to hold on a minute, the Head Girl strolled to where the young girl curled up in her chair. "
Hi! Are you feeling alright?" Like, she wasn't being all quiet because her tummy hurt or someone stole her candy? Because then Louisa will have to fix that problem before dragging the girl into the building thingie. "
I'm Louisa Carter, by the way... in case you didn't catch my name before." This badge had social strengthening abilities, "
We're trying to build a cat house, which's officially named Cloud Nine Lives now, for our pets to play in while we're in class. Would you like to join us?" Wait a second...... "
Do you have a cat?" She could join them even if she didn't have a cat of course, but just to make sure.

As for helping with a cat house? Spike shook his head gently. First, he didn't have a cat. And second, it seemed to involved transfiguring things. Spike might have passed his OWL, but it didn't mean he was any good at it. And the Prefect had no desire to show his lack of skills to the young'uns.
... did she think that? "
No." Louisa answered the boy, flatly and rather quickly. Why exactly was there a group around Shacklebolt, then?
Again, EH.
As long as Spike didn't let his dangerous and "out-of-the-ordinary" (which was a nice way of saying "WILD" and "DISGUSTING") pets slash plants get close to their future project, Louisa wasn't going to convince him to join them.

Build something. That was like a key word with him. Comfy couch? Not quite the same pull as BUILD. So he makes a detour away from the door and headed towards where Head Girl was giving instructions. He gazes at the enlarged image "A cat condo? Nice." He can help build that. If he managed a swing trellis this is noooo problem.
Just as she was about to go ahead and start on transfiguring the sticks when JFHGDLKH UHHHHHHMMM "
Hi Vickers," she greeted the boy as normally happy as possible. OH and he called it a cat condo! Louisa grinned and gestured to where Vivi sat, "
Vivi actually suggested we call it Cloud Nine Lives." Sounded more like an association than a cat house if you think of it. WHICH made it even more cool. Now to inspect the boy's reaction to his friend's suggestions 1) neutral. 2) proud. 3) impressed. or 4) impressively proud. It better not be the last one. People could get hurt. Innocent people.
"
I think it'll be a bit harder than the swing and trellis we did last term, it's more complicated." She looked up at the picture and frowned, already predicting a dozen obstacle. "
Would you help m- I mean us? Even if you don't have a cat?" PLEASE?

He won't even think of meowing along with those kind. He would prefer to be alone, where he can keep his dignity and fur clean.
Puuuuuuurrrrrrr...
It was a rather noisy afternoon, no? He heard the words "cat" and "house" from somebody at the room and this topics seemed intriguing to his whiskers. Hence, he strutted with finesse to the crowd of Ravenclaws, eavesdropping. He saw a tall girl with long hair hold out what appeared to be a large picture for everyone to see. But he couldn't see anything! Meoooooow.. Why were these people so tall? And could they not see that he was under them?! They should bow before him. Humfph!
Make way you commoners. "MEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOW!" Davinci caterwauled. That should get their attention eh? He wanted to see that picture!
........ the Ravenclaw's blue-grey eyes went wiiiiiild at the sound of that screeching. Neither one of her cats made that ugly noise before (not while she was around anyway). Oh it wasn't one of them, they were with Lily still, it was this... cat. Obviously.
Louisa crouched down in front of him/her, "
Ohai, there," extending her arm to pet its head...
