"Done his usual 'I'm back at Hogwarts' disappearing act. He seems to get very excitable, and just hops on off when I'm not looking."
Nothing really to worry about, as long as there weren't any stray kneazles on the loose. Except well...there were.
Chicken coop? What kind of name was that? Benjy looked confused. It was the sort of name he might have called G for a joke...did someone seriously name their kid that? Poor girl.
And then the boy was pointing to the chair, Benjy grinned. "Yup, that's Flipper." He went to pick the little NON-SLIMY fella up, and stroked him gently. "Always into mischief." Quote:

Was it common for an older year to sit and chat with youngins like them? Of course, Austin was only in his first couple days here, but he had seen all of the older kids walking and talking with their friends. And he did mean all. If a sixth or seventh year was walking by themselves, it wasn't for long. Someone was sure to come walking by sooner or later to talk. Austin just found it easier to talk to students his own age, but if this older one wanted to hang out with them, he wasn't one to complain.
"Ahh, Flipper. Nice name." He nodded at the frog. It did seem like a name that a young kid would give to a frog though. But it wasn't the worst name a frog could be given, either. It could have been something like 'Flippy Von Flipinschtine', which would have been TERRIBLE. So yes, Flipper was nice. As Austin looked around, he saw the cat in a pounce position. He eyed it suspiciously, hoping it wouldn't pounce on him. With any other cat it would be fine, but the squished face he had just made his whole 'about to pounce' position a lot worse. Merlin, he was creeped out. A toad gone rogue. Maddie smiled a little and nodded. "And do you think you eating chocolate frogs has any thing to do with your toad wanting to disappear?" P.S. She liked chocolate frogs and she was sitting right there. If the guy had any to share, that'd be nice. Y'KNOW, since she was still trying to get used to Ravenclaw and all. Sharing is caring and it'd make her feel LOADS more comfortable. Obviously.
"That's not my name." Maddie ignored the nudge and gave Austin a LOOK. One usually reserved for brothers on thin ice. Then she turned to the older boy and repeated, "That's not my name." Just in case HE wanted to know.
So this was the mysterious toad. The small brunette glanced from it to her own pet and raised her eyebrows. Did Zeus eat toads? She'd never seen him eat one but by the way he was acting, she wasn't entirely sure she should rule it out. "Why Flipper?" She asked curiously, eyes still on her kneazle. Zeus had zeroed in on the toad now and Maddie was inclined to see what he'd do to it but she WAS aware that her kneazle eating a fellow Claw's toad wasn't exactly the best way to make friends. And so just as Zeus was jumping towards the older guy's leg, Maddie reached out and grabbed him.
"Not so fast, Z. Can't let you do that." The kneazle squirmed and scratched in vain and Maddie simply smiled and shrugged. "Think maybe he's hungry."
