"I didn't think you were," Spike said, releasing the girl's hand from their shake. "Unless you were referring to yourself in the third person." Though Jacks was Addy? Why wasn't Addy Addy? He raised an eyebrow, before shaking his head and thinking better of it. "Lovely to meet you Genevieve Branxton-Pee-em-ay." Wow, that was a long name. Even longer than Spike's. "Phew, I bet a name like Branxton-pee-em-ay is tedious in Arithmancy," he said with an understanding smile. "Hutchinson's bad enough." He couldn't even start to spell it, for one.

Spike turned round, and eyed the Head Girl. "You think I'd be a slave for Shacklebolt?" he asked with a smirk. "Whatever."

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.
"I do occasionally refer to myself in the third person. I was hit with a lying hex, and that sometimes happens," Vivi nodded solemnly. It was nice, this lying hex lie story. Made a lot of erratic behavior more believable.

"Oh, no... just Branxton. The P.M.A. is a title. Pretty Much Awesome. I've had it added to my birth certificate." Lies.

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.
"To be a condo, I think we'll need a cat gymnasium and a teeny tiny pool. I think. Isn't that what condos have?" Vickers got a friendly wave, although she wasn't ready to give up on her chair plans and cross the room to where the Head Girl was starting her project.

...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?"
Well, yaaaaay. Some cred with the Head Girl would probably get her a long way toward settling in properly and making friends. It was difficult to come into a new place with people who were all settled in their patterns and friendships and make friends.

"It'll be our little inside joke. Just the house. Anyway... I have a cat, but she's just an ickle thing and barely likes me. I don't think she's ready for friends yet. Macha is her name." And she was a devil cat.
