Climbing up the rope ladder excitedly, she thought back to the time she'd bumped into that Hufflepuff girl - Isabella was her name - who was looking for something? Regardless she'd been exploring and now Sky wondered how she'd like this treehouse find. Because Sky was delusional for the brief second that the treehouse find was hers exclusively; delusional as she totally tripped over someone who was already here.

"Ooopsssssssss"

Sky bit her lip, as she stumbled backward.

Uh. Hai? No, we're not a lost, clumsy firstie.

Not only that but she was actually offering to help him catch his cat! He felt awful for running into her but even more so for involving her and Mr. Kovalainen in his problems, regardless of how unwittingly it was. "You don't have to -" he began but then realized it sounded like he was refusing her generous offer. "Unless you want..." He'd have to do something for them in return! He could always offer the Hufflepuff boy house points in exchange for helping, but how in the world was he going to repay Rosalyn?

His bright blue eyes fell to the little black and white puffball sitting in one corner of the treehouse, casually licking a paw. "I have no idea what got into her!" he said. "She's usually so well-behaved." Hmm... maybe he took off after a bird or a mouse or something. that was the only explanation he could think of! An idea occurred to him, and he turned toward the cat. "Phantom? Here, kitty!" A pair of big yellow eyes met his as he drew his wand. Ribbons shot from its tip, and he dangled them in front of the cat. It was only after he'd cast the spell that he remembered that his wand arm was also his scarred arm. He frantically tugged his sleeve down, but he knew it was probably useless to try to hide it now. Nothing to do but wait for one of them to ask about the scar...

The ribbons seemed to work... well, sort of. Phantom rolled onto her back, happily pawing at the ribbons dangling from Gaston's wand for a few moments. He cautiously approached while she was distracted, but when he tried to pick the cat up, her mood changed dramatically. With a loud hiss, she reached up a paw and scratched the back of Gaston's hand. He winced slightly, dropping his wand. "OW! What was that for, you mean cat?!?!"

He was busy wrapping his sleeve around his hand to stop the bleeding when a voice startled him. His head whipped around in the direction of the sound, and he saw Miss Diggory. It appeared the girl had tripped over his foot. "Merlin's beard!" he exclaimed. "Are you okay, Miss Diggory?"Nice going, Gaston! he inwardly berated himself. As if ramming into a colleague wasn't bad enough, now you trip a student! At the rate he was going, he'd do even more damage than those two poltergeists! He took a step back so he wouldn't cause any more accidents.


While waiting to see if Kimi wanted to help her and Gaston in locating Phantom and getting her back, there was another interruption. This time it was in the form of one of the students who had apparently tripped over her colleague's foot. Slightly concerned, she was going to ask if the girl was alright but was beaten to it. Instead she sighed. Fortunately Skylar seemed to be okay though rather startled. "This treehouse is a hazard." It seemed that everyone was bumping into each other and tripping. At least no one had fallen over the railing...

Anyway, there was still a cat on the loose. "Of course I want to help you. Maybe we can use some spells..." Not ON the animal, but... He WAS the Charms Professor, so surely he would be able to figure something out? Maybe they all could together... "Would you like to help us locate a cat?" she asked Skylar. "Professor Marchand seems to have lost his pet." Well, more like she had run away but same difference really. They just needed to get her back before she ran into the Whomping Willow or the Forbidden Forest. Best not to mention those possibilities to Gaston...
