Ah, so this was just a social call. Kay rarely had any of these from students so she revelled in the change. "I have cookies and cake if you like to have some before we leave. Or if you prefer, you can always return with me to grab them before you go back to your dorm.'' Both items were fresh, baked and delivered by an elf earlier that day. "Indeed they are! Tell me, have you managed to succeed? There are quite some friendly youngsters, even the professors.''
"I've been quite well. And you? I've noticed you've been quite devoted as usual to your prefect duties. Keep it up!'' With a smile, Kay climbed to her feet. "Shall we head to the Barnyard?''
Kitty was glad to hear that Marshmallow was doing well. She knew how much Stewart loved her, and she could understand since she herself had owned nine lovely worms who she'd looked after every day until their release.
"Ooh I appreciate the offer," she said when she was offered cookies and milk.
"I'll take some when we come back to the office if that's okay? Thanks!"
Together they both got up and left the office. It was a rather enjoyable walk, especially since the weather was so much better than it was before. As they went outside she saw dark gray clouds in the distance - though these clouds probably wouldn't reach them until it was almost night. Someday she wanted to dance in the rain, somewhere where no one could see her. That would feel liberating, she thought.
She bit her lip when asked about her success on making friends.
"Sadly I don't think I've succeeded so far. I mean, we're friendly all right, and I like all of them - but I don't think any of them would say 'Hi Kitty' if I were in the middle of a group. But I'll keep going at it until I have at least one. That's all I need. Then we can write to each other all the time and when I visit America sometime I can visit her or him. I'd love to see Ilvermorny." "I imagine you must have many of them as your friends," she commented as they descended the steps towards the grounds. To the compliment on her prefect devotion she said,
"Thank you. I've been trying. I'll be very sad when Rooney's not here anymore. And next year will be my last year." The thought stopped her in her tracks. Swallowing, she continued walking.
"I really don't want to go. It's silly, but I'd like to freeze time to stay a student for awhile more." She also wanted to be old enough to be an activist, but Hogwarts was her home. The thought of not being allowed to come back was almost too much to bear. And she really did NOT want to get a job.
They arrived at the barn then.
"Ooh we're here."
