So far he'd already run into Rosalyn and tripped Miss Diggory, and he didn't want to be responsible for any more accidents today. He chuckled a little when Rosalyn said the treehouse was a hazard. "Actually, I think I'm the hazard," he joked, nervously running a hand through his messy black hair. "Everything was fine before I got here." Or rather, before his cat got here... but still he had to give credit where it was due. It seemed a bit unfair to blame the treehouse for his own clumsiness!
He was distracted nursing his injured hand when she spoke again. What did she say? He shook his head, trying to remember. Of course! It was something about using spells to catch his cat...
Gaston watched as Phantom's tail flicked back and forth, as if daring him to try to touch her again. He wasn't falling for that! He wracked his brains, trying to come up with a spell to use to catch his runaway cat. Well, if all else failed, he could always just Body-Bind her, but that seemed cruel... Aha, he had it! "I might have an idea," he said, turning to Rosalyn. He aimed his wand at the floor, as far away as possible from Rosalyn, Miss Diggory, and Mr. Kovalainen lest he should cause another accident, and a small cage appeared. Was this going to work? Would Phantom really walk right into a cage in the middle of the room? Maybe he should cast a disillusionment charm on it first... "Maybe we can trap her in this if one of us lures her in and the other closes the door behind her..." Quote:

Who knew what sort of retroactive would be placed on students for accidentally tripping over their professor's big feet? "I'm .... " Sky started, mortified and not sure what to say. "I'm ... I'll ... I should be okay." Last thing she needed was a mortifying escort to the hospital wing for tripping over a professor's feet. That would have been more embarrassing than what Hattie had dealt with earlier.
Ugh, and her history professor witnessed this too.
This treehouse thing was a horrible idea! But they didn't seem phased by it? Perhaps she was overreacting? No, no, it was their job to be nice and sincere, or at least give the illusion of it. But what was that?! Help find a lost cat? "Is your cat in the treehouse?" Because it wasn't a very big house and well, she didn't notice any cats around the outskirts of it, when she was climbing up the ladder. Although, she'd hardly been paying attention too. "But yea sure I can help." cause after her mortifying experience, she could use some brownie points to get back on good terms, even if it seemed like there was no hard feelings.
Rosalyn couldn't help but laugh at Gaston's joke. She was happy to see that he had retained his sense of humor; it helped with the slightly awkward situation and probably helped him to feel a little better. What had happened wasn't his fault and no one had gotten hurt. "I don't think you make the list of hazards when it comes to Hogwarts. Hate to break it to you, " she joked. The Forbidden Forest was more than enough danger and then there was Peeves and Miffy who weren't exactly dangerous but caused a lot of trouble. Pranks didn't bother her because she thought they were in good fun, but they crossed the line at times and harassed students. That wasn't okay in her book.
As the cage appeared, Rosalyn rubbed her hands together excitedly. "Perfect! Do either of you have any food on hand? Maybe we can use that in trying to lure her over." If not it wasn't a big deal because they could improvise. |
