Yes that's exactly what she'd try to do. Giving Ab a smile she would talk to him and congratulate him on such an amazing honor to be head of house later, right now her focus was kitty rescue.

Her green eyes snapped up, "Oh Cece" She giggled, the woman was always joking. "They aren't hideous and they never leave my purse. They are very well mannered and look at their cute little yellow bows for Hufflepuff." She beamed at her cats sticking their heads out showing off her old house colors. "I had to set them down and I set them on Nessa's chair, but thank you soooooo much for bringing them to me." It was just so sweet of her to do that.

Oh the poor little baby was so scared and his claws were swinging. She held him tighter and kissed his little head again. "Shhh shhh it's okay." OUCH! He got her face, but she wouldn't blame him. No it was all the crazy commotion everyone was scaring him with. She'd put him in with Aries and Gemini he'd be safe there until she could find his human, but Nessa caught her attention and she smiled through the scratching pain, "Oh no he's not mine. I'm just trying to calm him." Poor poor thing scratching at them. "It's okay baby.. you'll be fi.."

O_o

He was down on the ground AND NOW HE WAS A MAN!!!! SHE HAD KISSED ANOTHER MAN!!! Cassie jumped back and put her bloody scratched hands to her face gasping. "OHMYGOODNESS OHMYGOODNESS OHMYGOODNESS!!!!!! I'm soooooo sorry, I didn't know. I thought you were a scared cat, I'm soooo sorry.. OHMYGOODNESS!!!" She was so embarressed and forgot quickly about the scratches the man had left on her. No wonder she couldn't read him, he was a HE.. a MAN!

She turned towards Leo's side of the table horrified. How would he ever forgive her, she just kissed a catman!! A CATMAN!!! She mouthed a thousand I'm sorry's towards him, but noticed the students entering, so she just sunk into her seat quietly embarrassed by the entire ordeal, looking towards Annie right next to her she shook her head, "Sorry about that I didn't know." How was she to know the man was a cat or that cat was a man, MERLIN. Pulling her REAL cats towards her legs in her purse. Goodness could she leave?


Clingy, that's what that Cassie woman was. Glancing at her hands as she gasped, Maddox saw that his claws had done some damage and he'd have gladly lied about being sorry if that's what she was about to go on about but then she got LOUD again and it sent his ears back into another ringing spell. Merlin, make it stop please? >__<

He raised a hand, indicating that she could stop. Seriously. "A cat. Yes. Scared. No." Irritable and wanting to go back to sleep, definitely. Maybe it was because nothing was making sense anymore, but he couldn't see why she was suddenly freaking out and worsening his headache in the process. "Calm down, I'm fine, you're fine and," Oh, students piling in, "you'll freak the students." And rupture his ear drums. Why couldn't people silently freak out, like in those reeeeally old black and white films muggles had? Those were gold.

"Kissing cats isn't the worst crime out there." Juuuust saying. See? Nothing to freak about.

SPOILER!!: Airey and mentions of Javy

"SWEET SOLSTICE! ARE YOU BLOOMIN' JOKING?!" he half groaned half laughed when he saw that the cat was in fact Maddox. "I didn't know you could do that." Airey was still, by the way, sitting on Javy's lap at this point and ever so slowly becoming aware of this fact.

And then it all clicked. Maddox KNEW that the astronomer had a fear of the feline variety...this had all been one big set up. If Airey wore gloves, he would have thrown one down on the ground right this instant - it looked like something fun to do from what he had seen in old muggle films. The Charms professor had just declared a prank war and Airey was more than willing to rise to the occasion.

"And you've got no business turning into a cat and sleeping on my seat," he retorted, glancing over his shoulder at Javy. Speaking of being places he ought not to be... "If it's any consolation, Javy, you were quite comfortable." Cue a look towards Maddox. UNLIKE some others who could afford to be a more comfortable pillow if they insisted on sleeping places.

Standing, Airey retrieved a lint roller from his enchanted breast pocket and proceeded to roll it vigorously over his bum, down either leg, over his bum again, down the other leg, and finishing up - once again - with his bum. "You do recall that the seats are in alphabetical order, yeah? C comes AFTER A...down that way," he instructed, lint roller tucked away and pointing in the OTHER direction.


Aaand attention back to Airey. Ever the dramatic one as he remembered. "We're pretty even; I didn't know you did that." He said, nodding in gesture to the Astronut who was still clinging desperately to the other man who's lap he'd invaded.

Maddox squinted at the look Airey was giving him, unsure what to really make of it but, again, that was probably because he was still trying to figure out what had happened just now. Everything was...really confusing. "Your seat?" Ah yes, that seating order that had been mentioned to him some time ago. "Right..." He merely shrugged, looking to the poor bloke who still had to put up with Airey. "I'd had tossed him ages ago. Can't imagine you being too comfy with him perched there." Such a baby, Airey, Circe.

It was only when the man got up that Maddox remembered he was still on the ground, at which point he hauled himself up and took the seat on the other side of the Creatures man. "Oh come now Airey," He said, watching the man er....de-linting away at his chair, "we both know I'm alphabetically challenged." He quipped. "For all I knew, you could have been sitting down that way with Mer--silly me, now I'm getting my letters mixed up entirely. Must have something to do with that god awful shrieking you did earlier." And a pointed look for that.

"Would have thought your voice would have deepened by now. So....shrill."

SPOILER!!: Meredith

Almost as good as the look on Sunshine's face when she found out she'd been cuddling the new Charms professor like he was her teddy bear. "Don't worry, he's really a giant softy. Bet he enjoyed it!" Her eyes were teary by this point and Meredith wiped at them when the laughter died down, knowing she'd somehow get dragged into the little prank war about to commence between the two men. Goodness, she approved so much.


Just down the table, he heard Meredith making it worse. Honestly woman. Not a cuddle toy. Not up for manhandling and being forcefully squished against someone's face. No. "Of course. I skip through meadows of flowers during my spare time too and like to curl up and write deep, soulful poetry when I have a chance." He said with a grimace. Don't go giving them ideas, Mer, it just wasn't a good idea.

"Hi... hi, hi... hi..." Archie spoke a quiet 'hi' to every face he could see, getting quieter with each one. Anyway... oh look, students.
In an attempt to return to some level of normalcy, he turned to the man that had joined them at the table. The one who's voice only seemed to get softer and softer. This one, he could have a conversation with and his ears would be happier for it. Honestly he couldn't remember everything always being so loud around this place...but that might have been the sensitive hearing he developed after the accident. Joy.

"How's it going?" And a casual nod. Nothing strange happening at all. Nope.

SPOILER!!: Leo

He knew it would get out eventually but still. He didn’t want to flaunt it. He liked privacy. Nodding he agreed softly. "Sure, we can bake muffins in the kitchen. We'll make a date out of it. Are you sure you're not upset with me about the rose?" He asked once more for reassurance. He’d totally understand if Cassie wasn't. It was his screw up. He’d make it up to her.

And then a lot of things happened at once. Cassie disappeared off towards Airey's end of the table to nuzzle and kiss a cat and the next thing Leo knew that same cat changed form and turned into the new charms professor Quigley. He was apparently an animagus. Catching Cassie’s mortified glance in his direction and the mouthed 'I’m Sorrys.'

Turning around and away from Cassie on unsteady feet he made it the few short steps to his seat and sank down in it. Cassie had KISSSED the catman Quigley. This feast was already turning into one gigantic nightmare. Could he sink through the floor already?


Er...Maddox just watched this one. He looked like he was about to pass out or throw up or something equally unpleasant. Oh dear. Him sinking into his seat offered some relief. At least now if he passed out there would be no need to catch him and they wouldn't need to ask for help--and Maddox wouldn't have to think of a convenient reason as to why he couldn't be of assistance.

"You alright?" He called to him all the way down at his seat. Even if he wasn't, Maddox hoped he had enough common courtesy to lie that he was. That way he wouldn't have to fake being concerned.

Nothing personal, just, he was still tired and this headache didn't seem like it was budging.
