She giggled quietly and perhaps this triggered it, but she had no idea why, the monkey suddenly leapt into her hair and crawled around for a bit before coming to rest at her neck.
She squirmed trying to find it. "Ruuuufus?" She giggled half way through her word and looked at her shoulder. "Ninja." James had a ninja monkey. Typical. The redhead shrugged and used her other hand to take the glass of pumpkin juice he'd poured for her and take a sip. Nom.
"No worries. He doesn't bite.. right?" So she'd be fine. If he didn't bite..
She popped another grape into her mouth and wound a strand of fiery red hair around her finger. Bored. Neptune was definitely a mood kill.
"Nawww he doesn't bite unless you get all up in his grill." Jim answered. He was trying to distract himself and yet... it was kind of a fail. He watched Cam play with her hair with interest though. Nice hair. Heehee.
Jim reached his hand out and Rufus obligingly jumped back and clinged on to his wrist.

But then she turned back to Jimmy as he spoke, and laughed again at the almost confused question. "Oh. Draco's my ferret," she finally explained, sort of gesturing at the white furry creature curled around her neck, that was kind of visible through her hair.
Then she lowered her voice, as he started talking about the moving staircase, as if she thought she neded to keep her antics quiet. "I slid down the railing. Cast Glisseo on it, then slid. Awesomely fast, and once I got to the end I flew. Which is where Salander and the painting came in." She looked around, in case any professors were around. "He levitated a painting which I flew into and got stuck. It was hilarious." And his idea sounded awesome too. "I'd be up for that." Scaling the staircase probably wouldn't be that different from trees. Just more dangerous, and therefore way more fun. She needed more ideas like that. "Oh. Awesome. Did you name it because of that history thing, with Mad Eye Moody and Draco Malfoy?" He asked, curious but trying to make it sound like it was a thing he'd only heard about in passing rather than something he was particularly familiar with because of reading a lot about such things in books.
"I'd let you pet Rufus but... I dunno if Monkey and Ferret will mix so well." He pointed out. The marmoset chittered and then squished itself down the front of Jim's shirt, peeking its little head out at the top.
"I should go..." After Neptune? Sulk? Study? Snog some random girl? "Do some studying or something." Shrug. "You know, OWLs and all." He told the girls, smiling at both of them as if no drama had happened.
