Elsa gaze wondered to Hady’s fingers, petting Hagan, and smiled. She missed her "pack of stray cats", the ones that drove her mother crazy every time it was dinner time and they gathered by the kitchen door meowing the songs of their people until Elsa came out to feed them dry food she had specially bought for them. Yep. Cat lady.

Hady was nice and she felt a little bit more confident in her transfiguration skills and had a certain that if help was needed she could find it amongst her house fellows. Her smile spread wider.

“Sometimes I just don’t want to bother people. I tend to be over affectionate, talk to much and most times I don’t know when to stop” she shrugged embarrassed “but thank you! Means a lot you saying that” She looked out to the lake again. Again, best view e-v-e-r. Her mother was completely right, she wouldn’t trade her house for anything.

A shiver went up her spine thinking about the dolls. She hadn’t seen it either and the concept of creepy dolls traveling the corridors wasn’t one she was comfortable with so she quickly agreed with Hady “But what’s that about? I mean, is it normal to strange things like that happening here?” she scratched her nose “ my mum never talked to me about any strange things that happened when she was here...” but now that she thought about it, her uncles did try and scare her with a few tales the last time she met them, but her mother pushed them outside, claiming they were only trying to have a laugh. Maybe they were telling real stories! Intriguing...
