"Just this once. She'll have you there and I'm hoping she won't cry then. I can't take the crying again. I just CAN'T. It's just one potion, and it's just this once. I'll even do all the work. You just have to be there."

Plymouth scrubbed his head with his knuckles and was just generally Mr. Awkward.

What...was...Plymouth Morgan...going on about? Confused, Daphne blinked and tried to recall any piece of information she might have been told and she might have 'accidentally' forgotten for her convenience. Shaking her head softly, Daphne raised a hand to pat Plymouth's arm but thought better of it.

No touching.

"Okay. Okay. Okay," agreed Daphne in a hurried fashion but still confused. "I just....don't..."

Get it. At all. And it was kind of difficult to just go: Why would Cela cry? What did you do?

"You don't want to. I know. I don't blame you. She won't want to either... which is why I need you." Plymouth blew his cheeks out with a big breath of frustration. He watched her hand rise and fall. "I won't even talk, okay?"

Okay... right. "She's not in the Common Room, so we have to go find her. Unless you really need to go outside....?"

Daphne watched Plymouth talk out of the corner of her eyes as she plucked her mittens off once more. He was back to doing that talking in excess thing again which made the girl feel much more comfortable. "I don't," clarified Hopton quickly before clearing her throat. "But...where are we going to go looking for Cela? It's not like I have a tracking device on her..." trailed of the blond her in her usual fashion, rolling her eyes slightly and one hand waving in an exaggerated manner. "Honestly."

Honestly.

She certainly hoped not! Maybe she should get out more...meet a few new people every now and then. Let the world now she really did mean well. Yup, sounded good. "Nope, no detention...at least not today," she said, holding a serious face for a few minutes, before laughing the situation off. "Just kidding, just kidding."

When the conversation turned back to heels, Anna glanced down and examined her own little pair. She really shouldn't walk the castle in such. She could easily fall down and break her neck, seeing that she wasn't exactly experienced in the art of walking in them. "They're fun to wear," she absentmindedly answered. "I guess. Caleb would tell me it's a trivial matter, though." When Tammy introduced herself, Anna turned her attention away from the heels and back up at the Hufflepuff. "Oh, Tamzin's a cool name. Sometimes I wish mine was a little more unique, but I suppose Greingoth makes up for Anna. Anyway, I'm a seventh year. Leaving for good after this year..."

Out of the corner of her eye, Anna caught sight of Professor Bunbury, still placing pieces of bologna in random spots up and down the corridor. Anna made a face at the meat, then looked up at her professor. "Well, if he likes bologna that much, I'm sure Upstead would bring him down to let him munch on a few pieces. I'm sure Gingersnapple would like that," she innocently responded. "Oh, and I'll gladly help, but really...I'm sure asking Jake to bring him down would be loads easier, right? Well, I guess placing lunch meat up and down the corridor is sort of a fun idea, too."

What in Merlin's name was the deal with Professor Bunbury not wanting to just stroll up to the Ravenclaw Common Room, find Jake, and ask him to bring out Sir Pinkness for a light snack? "Erm, well...I guess I could use a slice of bologna. Since the kitchens have been flooded, I've been dining on Chocolate Frogs more often than ever. Bologna has to be a little better for the figure, right?" she asked.

...and then someone else started talking. A new addition to the little assembled group. Anna glanced up to see her friend Elizabeth strolling up. "Hey, Elizabeth. I haven't seen you in a while. How ya been?" she asked. "The professor's trying to lure her cat away from Jake Upstead with bologna, but she's offering it to us if we'd like some."

Elizabeth smiled as Anna noticed her and greeted her. "Hey Anna. I've been around. Things have been kind of weird but cool for me lately," she said. She really didn't want to go too much into it all, and besides, Anna was friends with Lyra, right? So maybe Anna had heard anyway. And then she registered the next statement the Head Girl had said, and she blinked. "That's what I thought I heard. Jake Upstead? Why does he have Professor Bunbury's cat?," she asked, completely confused, but starting to wonder what at Hogwarts happened that didn't have to do with Jake. It certainly seemed like the little Huffie was making quite the name for himself. She shook her head, trying to stop the random thoughts that were spinning through her confused mind, before smiling a little. "I think I'll pass on the bologna though. I've been lucky enough to keep a fairly regular stash of fruit with me, to counteract the chocolate. And the less bologna we eat, the more likely we are to attract Gingersnapple, right?"

"That makes two of us."

....

"Might as well start outside anyway," Plymouth suggested since he wasn't convinced that Daphne didn't already prior plans that he was messing up. "She... spends a lot of time with her abraxans."

Plymouth stepped back to allow Daphne to go first with his hands in his pockets. He was getting so much better at this 'hands to himself' thing.

Tamzin chuckled softly at the professor and then actually took in what the cat was called. "Gingersnapples its name?" She asked in disbelief of the name, who in the name of the world would name an innocent kittie GINGERSNAPPLE! Okay, so maybe she would but a professor? Wazzopper.

She looked at Anna and smiled beamingly. Her fingers had stopped fiddling with her jumper as she listened intentively. "Yes, but are they practical with lurching moving stairs?" She asked, feeling ultra smart with herself in that moment.

Heading up to the common room after her visit to see Macavity, Elizabeth turned into the sixth floor corridor only to narrowly avoid stepping on a piece of bologna lying on the floor. Skirting around it, she continued on her way, finding more lunch meat on the floor and getting more confused the further she went. Granted, it seemed like everything here at Hogwarts was topsy-turvy. She wasn't even really sure why she was bothering going to the common room, what with it being crowded with all the displaced Huffies. And she didn't even dislike Huffies, in general. But it was making things kind of claustrophobic. But flooding was one thing. Random lunch meat strewn over the floors was another.

But as she got further down the corridor, she heard voices, and then, as she listened, her unasked questions about the bologna she had been avoiding were answered. Walking further, she saw Professor Bunbury with a stack of meat in her hand, as well as a couple Huffies and Anna. "Hi," she said to the students, before her green eyes went to the professor questioningly as the redhead talked about tearing the bologna into pieces. "Why can't you just use a spell, multiply the meat? I know there's at least one spell that makes thing multiply." She got a thoughtful look on her face as she tried to remember, but then continued. "Especially if you're trying to attract your cat, I'd think more would be better. And not just smaller pieces." Although, smaller pieces would be easier to avoid stepping on. She fidgeted with the strap of her bag a little, wondering what exactly was going on. Robert likes Professor Bunbury, right? I mean, he's good at Herbology, so he must. But I can't help but think this is strange, she thought. But at least she was trying to help.

Then Anna spoke, and Bunbury turned her weird stare to the girl. "Upsteadownahuh?" She shook her head once, then twice. She could have sworn the Head Girl said Jake Upstead's name at least five times in connection to Gingersnapple's disappearance....

....which meant that maybe....maybe the rumors were true. Anna knew things, after all, and she was a trustworthy student. But this meant one thing regarding Jake Upstead: He was no alleged cat napper, he WAS THE CAT NAPPER!

:gasp:

She hadn't believed the rumors or the Hufflepuff captain but now it seemed to make sense. Bunbury let the remaining slices of bologna in her hand float to the floor, but not before Anna managed to snag one.

"Gingersnapple! Yes! Have you seen him? Big, ginger cat, fluffy, likes bologna and chocolate?!" She shook the gir's arm a little. "Last seen with Jake Upstead - you're a Huffie, tell me you've seen my cat!"

And she wasn't hysterical yet, not at all.

"Upstead, yeah. Jake Upstead. I saw Gingersnapple with him not too long ago," she innocently answered. "How very nice of him to look after your cat, too. Oh, and Gingersnapple is a really sweet cat. He and Evee's cat, Muffin, got along just fine." When the professor dropped a piece of bologna into her hand, Anna brought it to her mouth and munched happily on it. Times like this, she really missed the kitchens of Hogwarts.

"Professor Bunbury. I promise you it's true. When I first saw the cat, I didn't know who he belonged to. I asked Jake about it, and he said it was your's," she replied. "Were...were you not aware that he had Gingersnapple?" Then Anna thought back on that time in the Bamboo Forest. Jake had been pretty reluctant to tell her that the cat belonged to Professor Bunbury. She should have just kept Gingersnapple in her arms and brought him back to his rightful owner when she had the chance!

EEEP! That freaky professor with the weirded out cats name was grabby Tammys arm. AND IT WAS HURTING. As much as she attempted to shake her off, it wasnt working, and Tammy wanted it to be over baaddlyyy.

"No I havent seen him. Arent all cats big ginger and fluffy?" Tamzin pointed out that that was the only thing she ever considered with cats and not Jake Upstead cat-nappering them.

"I am a huffie yes. But I tend not to associate with the likes of Jake Upstead." Tamzin finally yanked her arms free and clasped it with her free hand the pain of nails digging it hurt and she was sure she had nails prints.

AND SHE WAS SUING IF SHE DID!

Then Anna spoke, and Bunbury turned her weird stare to the girl. "Upsteadownahuh?" She shook her head once, then twice. She could have sworn the Head Girl said Jake Upstead's name at least five times in connection to Gingersnapple's disappearance....

And she wasn't hysterical yet, not at all.

From her rather normal conversation with Anna, Elizabeth brought her attention back to Professor Bunbury as the professor mumbled about her idea of using a spell. And as she glanced at the redheaded professor, feeling a little guilty that she had semi-abandoned her attempts at thinking of the spell she had mentioned, her eyes widened slightly at the vacant expression greeting her. Something was seriously wrong. Professors shouldn't look like that, even if her previous idle theories about Professor Bunbury's sanity were true. But then the staff member's attention was back on Anna, and she relaxed a little.

Until the repetition of the question she had posed to Anna reached her ears, and her hand wrapped tightly around the strap of her bag again. If it hadn't been for the fact it would look bad for a seventh-year and beater to flee from a professor, she would have done so. "Um, I just heard about it now, from Anna. And a little from the conversation between you all when I first showed up," she explained, part of her pretty sure the professor wasn't listening. This is getting a little too surreal, even if I could totally believe Jake would end up with one of the professor's pets, she thought, watching as the younger Huffie's arm was shaken.

...and the crazy has left the hallway. Resume your usual activities, chillren.

EEEEP! Anna was a witness to the catnapping? This was not good, not at all...and Evee (whoever that was) and a muffin were witnesses too. Fantastic. Jake Upstead was not getting away with this.

"I'd heard...rumors..." the redhead mumbled darkly. "I just didn't want to believe a student - a Hufflepuff, no less - would steal someone's pet....but worry not, Head Girl, I will deal with this."

Her expression changed from that vacant, non-believing stare to one of stony determination, just like that. Forget the bologna, Bunbunz was going to hunt down the catnapper herself.

There it was, mention of Evile Upstead again. Bunbury glanced back at the Hufflepuff whose arm she was still cluctching and she let go at the same time the girl did, abruptly taking a step away then. Weird child.

"No, not all cats are my Gingernsnapple," she huffed. "And you're smart to stay away from that boy. He's nothing but trouble. TROUBLE trouble and he'll be in more trouble when I find him..."

The professor took another step away from the group of students, frowning down at the bologna trail. "Could you all keep an eye out for a ginger cat around the castle? I'm GOING to find him," she had to stay positive, "but thanks for the information. Ta."

She threw her hand back in a lazy wave and then stalked off down the corridor, discreetly wiping bologna slime off her hands and onto her robes as she walked.

During one of her usual strolls around the castle, Anna happened to find herself roaming down the sixth floor corridor. She wasn't entirely sure exactly why she was on this particular floor, but nevertheless, here she was. Maybe it was because she was so close to the Gryffindro Common Room, which sounded like a nice place to be right about now. She sure could use a nap...or get some homework done. Merlin knew it'd been piling up lately.

That was when she glanced upon to see Cedric, a Hufflepuff boy she'd had a good many classes with, walking down the corridor, as well. "Hey, Cedric! How's it going?" she greeted.

As he walks,He noticed their headgirl,"Oh hey Anna,How are you."He greeted, smiling.Hmm,he has a crazy thought that the headgirl will bug him to do homeworks so their house will not be in the last place..

"Umm,what do you want from me,It's not my fault."He frowned.Tick!he was now backed into reality.He had a warped imagination."Umm sorry,"He chuckled.

Then he started to look around and walk.

OUCH

"Hey what are you,I mean who are you?"He choked then he looked down to the creature or maybe people who scratch him.

A CAT!!!

Then he look to the others around the corridor,"Hey there's a cat here."He scowled,As he looked around,He found plenty of bologna's,bunch of students with professor pink.

lmao regular activities? what're those? :P

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow in curiosity as Professor Bunbury's expression changed dramatically, in practically a split-second. Part of her was almost relieved the professor hadn't seemed to notice her again, because this new determined look was almost as scary as the vacant one that had been on her face previously. And then he rnext thought went to the fact there was a high possibility Jake might be in her common room. And Bella probably was wandering around, like she usually did. And Professor Bunbury was now determined to find Jake. Scary professor heading possibly toward the place where her cat was to find a juvenile catnapper. Didn't exactly help her state of mind.

But she nodded as the Herbology professor told them to keep an eye out for Gingersnapple. "Sure," she said as she watched her stalk off. And then next thing she heard was someone talking to Anna, and then mentioning a cat. A cat? She glanced toward where Professor Bunbury had disappeared.

Tammy nodded as the professor asked for them to keep an eye out and sighed a sigh of relief as she walked away. SO MUCH BETTER !! She didnt feel scared that her arm was going to be strangled and shook and get left with nail marks..

I have to declone. Ha ha.

"Oh, and...professor? If I were you, I wouldn't necessary look for a ginger cat!" she called out, but she wasn't so sure at all that the woman had even heard her. By that time, she'd already started to head away. She found it out that Professor Bunbury could hardly believe Jake was responsible for such madness. Jake...the kid who'd pushed a suit of armor on top of her. Jake...the kid who spent more time in detention than he did his own Common Room. Or, actually, the Ravenclaw Common Room now. Jake...the kid who'd been on a ramage ever since the school year started. Was it really that impossible to believe he was unlikely to be a catnapper?

Shrugging, she turned back to Tammy, Elizabeth, and Cedric. "I'm good, Cedric. Thanks," she replied. "Just a little confused at this odd little encounter with Professor Bunbury, but I'm good. She narrowed her eyes in confusion when he started going on and on about something or another not being his fault. Blinking, she asked, "What are you talking about? Not your fault? I was just coming to say hello, is all..." She glanced down the corridor when he mentioned seeing a cat, then she shook her head, knowing it wasn't Professor Bunbury's cat. "Nope...her cat is pink. Jake Upstead has it, too," she told him. "Anyway, I have to go, but it was nice talking to all of you. I'll see ya around!" With a wave, she headed off down the corridor.

"Bye Anna." Tammy called after her and skipped off again in the opposite direction hng to herself. Reliving the hrrible moment when teh professor grabbed her arm and nearly killed it by shaking and depriving it of room.

"Nevermind,Anne.."He stammered.He was so CRAZY!!! and all,for blaming himself or 'worrying' that someone blames him esp. the headgirl or prefects because hufflepuff was in the last place.

Dom is the one to blame.Grrrrr.

"Oh,bye!"He mumbled as Anna walks away,then he saw a cat,a pink cat,owns by Jakers.

"Oh cat..its so cute.."He chuckled then he turned around.

"Can anybody knows wh-who is gigigingersn.?"He asked,he can't pronounced the whole word at all.

*shrugs* Having Elizabeth make her exit too.

Elizabeth mentally shrugged the cat convesation off as Anna told the boy that whatver cat he had seen couldn't be Gingersnapple. She was probably right, since odds are Jake wouldn't let Professor Bunbury's cat wander around the castle. Not if he actually had catnapped it. Or, given it was Jake, even if he hadn't catnapped it. She blinked a little, getting herself out of her thoughts as Anna then excused herself, and smiled. "It was nice talking to you, too, Anna. Even if the situation got a little strange," she said to the Gryffindor. "See you around."

Since it seemed everyone was heading off in different directions, she then decided to continue on her way to the common room. But as she passed the boy who had been talking about cats, she answered his question. "Gingersnapple is Professor Bunbury's cat. Who, rumor has it, was turned pink and then taken by Jake Upstead. And is quite possibly being held in the Ravie common room." And then she continued walking, disappearing up the corridor.

Diane stepped into the floor corridor. She had perceived the staircases to start moving, slowly against the water, as she slowly made her way up. Now she was in a different floor altogether. Which was it? There wasn't anything very distinctive about this corridor, so it was hard to tell.

There were some students around the corridor, she walked pass them first, then stopped besides one curiously. She was in two minds about asking but... "Excuse me," she said to the boy who stayed. "Where is this, ah, what floor are we in?"

Kevin made his way down to the sixth floor from the seventh and sighed he really wanted to find a friend to chat to but hardly saw any of his friends now and Kevin was hoping that his leg would be fine but it had been since the nurse and clifford fixed it so long ago but he was worried about whether or not there was going to be anymore qudditch this term.

If the door leading into the Transfiguration classroom she had just passed was any indicator, that is. Anyways, what was she supposed to do now strolling down the sixth floor corridor?

That was the moment her eyes fell on a rather familiar-looking figure a few feet ahead of her. As she quickened her steps to get a closer look as to who it was Nancy suddenly smiled slightly upon recognizing the boy. "Oi! Kevin!" She called after the boy as she tried to catch up with him. Then her face fell slightly as she noticed the rather worried expression plastered across his face. "You okay?"

Kevin was snapped out of his thoughts and said "Yeah i am fine Nancy, i was just thinking that is all, been a long time since we last saw each other" Kevin was sure that his leg was fine cause he had no problems off of it for ages and plus i think he was more worried about qudditch than his leg.

Nancy's face brightened slightly again upon hearing Kevin's reply to her question. At least he said he was fine, that was something. "Oh, okay...it's just that you looked...oh, never mind." She gave him a smile before adding, "Yes, true. I think I never got around to congratulate you for making it on the Quidditch team." Not that it looked like there would be a lot of that going on anytime soon, judging by the rising water level down at the Quidditch Pitch. "So...what are you doing here?"

Kevin smiled and said "Yeah it was a big surprise that i made the team, i just wondering whether there will be any more games in qudditch well with pitch flooded and stuff, and i was just wandering i always seem to find myself doing it nowadays". Kevin liked Nancy she was a good friend of his from last term his first ever year at Hogwarts.

Nancy returned Kevin's smile as talking about Quidditch and all that stuff at least got her mind off things. Things which she'd rather not think about at the moment because they were much too confusing and odd for her brain to cope with right now. So, Quidditch was an awesome subject to talk about. Well, it was an awesome subject to talk about anyway, but right now it was in particular. "Yeah, so how do you like playing as a beater?" With a smirk she thought back at last term where she had been holding one of those beaters' bats even though beater had initially been the one position she had not wanted to play. But somehow she had ended up as a beater and the most interesting thing about it was that she had actually liked it. Teehee...

And then Kevin stated exactly what had just been going through her own mind a few seconds ago. Biting her lip Nancy cocked her head slightly to the side before replying, "Mhm...I know, that really sucks. I hope they'll figure something out for the upcoming matches..." They just had to.
