SPOILER!!: Gaston and Skylar Quote:

Oh, she hadn't seen his cat? Well, he supposed he shouldn't be surprised; the (very aptly named) animal was known to blend into the background when she wanted to! "She's just over there," he said, gesturing toward the corner where a pair of big yellow eyes stared out of the shadows.
His eyes widened a bit at the Slytherin girl's offer; he wasn't expecting her to want to help! He felt terrible for involving her in his problems, but at least there was something he could do to make it worth her time. "Thank you, Miss Diggory," he said. "I'll give 5 points to Slytherin for your co-operation, whether we succeed in catching my cat or not."
Gaston shifted his attention back to Rosalyn as her laugh distracted him. He was glad she got the joke, though the sad thing was that he was only half joking. All these accidents really did only start happening after he arrived! "Well, I haven't been here long enough to cause too much damage yet; just give it time," he said, laughing along with her.
A loud, disgruntled-sounding MEOW made him jump slightly. He'd almost forgotten about his cat! Right... joke time over, now back to the matter at hand. "I'm afraid I don't," he replied when Rosalyn asked him if he had any food. Well technically that wasn't true... he always had a few pieces of candy on him but unfortunately, Phantom wasn't fond of candy. He glanced back at Miss Diggory. Maybe she had some food they could use, but somehow he doubted it. "Well if all else fails, we could try the ribbon trick again... or tranfigure something into a toy mouse." Quote:

But when he offered her points for cooperation, well, Skylar just became more motivated to SUCCEED cause like maybe he'd give her more than five points. But she shouldn't act too eager, so she just simply politely smiled at her Charms Professor. "That's awfully kind of you. Thank you."
As far as helping, she was about to shake her head at the younger Newton's inquiries about food, when she realized she did. She'd shoved some peanut butter crackers in her robe pockets earlier in case she got hungry... did cats even eat peanut butter? Sometimes.
"Uh yes, I do actually..." Sky said with slight hesitation, reaching into her right pocket. "Does your cat like peanut butter? Cause I have some peanut butter crackers.." Sky extended her palm out towards the adults with one peanut butter sandwich cracker resting in it. She had more, but figured one would be enough to lure it. Just so long as it didn't jump out from nowhere and attack her hand; she liked pets, but she hated the element of surprise.
Head shake at Gaston even though Rosalyn was rather amused by the whole situation. "Give me enough time and I will bump into a few people as well. Among other things." She definitely had her share of clumsy moments - especially when her head was in the clouds, which happened more often than she would like to admit. At the moment, however, she was paying full attention to Phantom who seemed rather disgruntled. Too bad for the cat because she couldn't wander off willy nilly. Especially not when there were dangerous parts of the grounds. They were going to have to get that cat in the cage because the alternative wasn't very pleasant. If she DID run off, they were going to have to create posters and hang them up around the castle in the hopes that someone would find Phantom and return her safely to Gaston.
Peanut butter crackers seemed like they might work. If they didn't... They would have to formulate a Plan B. Maybe a fake mouse could be magicked and they could use that. Rosalyn filed that away in the back of her head for just in case it became necessary. "That sounds good." Smiling at Skylar, Rosalyn waited for the young girl to place the peanut butter crackers in the cage. Fingers crossed it would work because mice were rather gross even if they weren't real. |
