Pause pause pause. "Any secret passageways that lead up to the turret that is secretly full of gingerbread chaises?" Because that seemed like a likely thing. A room of chairs that no one has licked.

She mulled over the idea that Louisa's family might stare at her. Why, though? It seemed unlikely that they knew who her mother was, and she wasn't sure why else people would think to pay attention before even meeting her. The next bit of news, though... that simply perplexed the blond Ravenclaw. Was Vickers now having a party and inviting people to his home? Was that the 'we'? Or did Louisa think Vivi ought to be excited that she was invited somewhere no one else was? Because she was not excited.

"Um." It took a moment to recall the question. "We went to my grandparents' house. The paternal side. Lots of food and gifts and madness. It was pretty typical, but it was sort of nice seeing everyone together again. I think my mother is lonesome for Mo, now that he's at school." And not because visiting Hogwarts made her miss being busy.
Louisa was crouching, crouch!walking and peering in all possible hiding places where a ball of fur could hide in. "That's the point, Vivi. It doesn't have furniture so that everyone can help decorating and furnishing it with what the house-elves bake." Nooot in this part of the room either. Gah. She jumped to her feet and headed to the tiny stair that leads to an upper smaller level.

... secret passageways? She frowned slightly and looked back at Vivi, "Nothing I know of. Maybe take the upper parts?" Louisa DID chuck a piece of an upper windowsill when she first walked in and gnawed on. It didn't taste... licked.

...

Her throat started making retching movements that she forced to stop by swallowing and shaking her head. "Anyways... I'm glad you had good time." Louisa smiled and met the girl's gaze before turning it out to the window nearby where the gingerbread-y roof extended before there was the--"THERE SHE IS!" Her feet worked quickly toward the window and she extended her hand to Vivi, "Can I have the toy, please?" QUICKLY. Viola, the tabby cat, was indeed up ahead where the chimney rose on the roof, standing on her behind legs and licking the higher jelly-like structure.
