Ziva stood there and tapped her foot on the rug, she was really starting to get annoyed with all those young badgers around here. She stopped tapping her foot when the kitten began to move towards her. She reached down and picked it up, she rubbed behind the ears, hearing the cat purr as she did so.

Ziva's attention then turned back to the girl. Why couldn't she had taken just a few more steps and go to her bed instead of sleeping on the couch in the common room where people sat at? "Hi." she said with annoyance. She wasn't in the mood now for talking.

Lori frowned, and slipped an arm through Varnish!Girl's and looked up at her. "You know your boyfriend? Warren, right? Well, did you ask him out? And what was it like before you guys got together got together... Because, theres this boy, Adam. And I reeeeally like him. And he knows, and he says he likes me.. And we kissed, and then kinda nothing.. And I dunno whether to ask him to be my boyfriend or NOTTT. Or if he alreayd is, because we kissed."

Oh god, Miss Bristol was having a breakdown.

Arya frowned threw her yawn.Someones not in a good mood. She watched as the girl scratched Perseus behind the ears, the kitten seemed to be enjoying himself. Grining at him, she stretched herself out, taking up as much space on the couch her little body could without realizing it.

"Soooo...whatcha doin?"she said inocently. Still stretched out on the couch she stared up at the girl, trying to figure out why she seemed so irritated. And hoping she wouldn't take her anger out on her kitten.

Ziva held the kitten close to her body with arm, she dropped her shoulder bag off of her shoulder onto the floor. Ziva rolled her eyes, Pierre is rubbing off on me. she thought to herself. "Well, I did come in to sit in my study spot to work on homework, but it seems like it's been turned into a bed." Ziva told her with eyes narrowed.

Ziva looked down at the kitten and rubbed his little paws softly, he apparently liked it for he kept purring at her.

Torin was happy today. It was almost Christmas and that meant that he would be going back to his bestest friend soon. Happy!! He missed Tammy so much. But he needed to write a letter to her first. Which was why he was walking down to the common room. He was planning to write by the fireplace because it was so nice and warm there. Comfy too.

"Torin!" Ziva hollered across the common room. She walked over to him, kitten still in hand from the first year badger. "I found a book that can probably help you with Shakespeare. I don't remember the title of it though." she told him as she began tapping her feet on the floor.

"And what a wonderfull bed it was!"She grined up at the obviously angry girl. Arya found the whole situation amusing, not letting the girl's anger phase her. Still lying down she pulled her legs up and rested them on the back of the couch, leaving enough room for the girl to sit."So what homework are ya doin?"

The poor young delusional girl was sure that offering her a seat would take away all the older hufflepuff's anger.

Ziva rolled her eyes yet again and rolled her head back. She was still very very annoyed with her. "Herbology." she answered shortly.

"Haven't you got some homework to be doing too?" she asked, she was hoping she could get the girl to go away.

He turned when he heard someone call him. It was Ziva. He smiled at her. He hadn't seen her in a little while, and she was nice. "You did?" Why was he hollering instead of walking over to her? He had no idea.

Lorelai looked up as some random GIRL hollered around the room. Did she not KNOW that there was someone sitting here, completely mind boggled over the Adam stuff... And Athlon. That girl was just plain annoying, and deserved a medal for boyfriend stealing. "Torinnnnn?" Yeah, she needed a boys opinion.

"Nope, all done!" she said all to cheerfully, fighting the urge to laugh when she rolled her eyes."What's your name?"She plulled the blanket back up to her chin, begining to wonder where it came from.

Ziva smiled, No, I'm just making it up! she laughed to herself. "Yeah. I was bored a while ago and was in the library looking for something random to read. And I just happened to pull it out. It's called, "The Real Meaning." I think I have it in my bag." Ziva told him as she walked over and pulled it out.

She walked back over and pushed the cover open, kitten still in hand. She read outloud:

"I think this will help." Ziva told him handing the book over.



Ziva turned towards the young badger. "Ziva Holden, fifth year badger." she said before turning back towards Torin. She would much rather talk with Torin than the young badger.

Wow, another one. Was he popular today or something? He turned as yet another person called to him. And then he saw that it was Lori. "Yes?" He was confused. She looked slightly upset and he didn't know why. Unless it was about that whole drama with Raven and Adam.

Oh, she had walked up to him while Lori had distracted him. Though it wasn't until she handed the book over that he noticed. He took it with a smile. "Thanks. This is great. Now maybe my girlfriend won't make fun of me for messing up the pronunciations." He rolled his eyes. Brody was so mean sometimes.

Then he noticed the kitten. "Aww, what a sweetie!" hehe. He started to pet the kitten behind the ear. He loved cats.

"I'm Arya, first year."She smiled up Ziva before turning to the girls friend. "Who are you?"

"Yeah, it's just a good thing I don't care for much of Shakespeare." She trailed, thinking about Pierre and wondering if he could recite Shakespeare or not.

Ziva rolled her eyes at Torin towards the first year badger. She was still really annoyed.

He laughed even though he had a feeling that she was feeling a bit annoyed. He had no idea why, but it wasn't really his concern so he wouldn't ask. "Yeah, I can't say I blame you. He makes no sense." But then again he had the whole language barrier thing to deal with.

He noticed Ziva rolling his eyes at the girl but he smiled at her. She seemed nice enough. "I'm Torin. How you liking it here so far?" He hadn't really met many First years yet oddly enough.

Ziva nodded her head and agreed. She continued to pet the kitten as Torin introduced himself to the first year badger. She rocked back and forth on her feet and let out a yawn. She'd probably be heading to bed soon.

She began to tap her feet against the floor again to a steady rhythm of a muggle song.

Arya smiled at Torin, "Yup, its great! Classes aren't to bad, neither are the professors."She studied the boy, realizing he was a prefect and wondering why she hadn't meet him before.

She looked from Torin back to Ziva when the girl yawned. "Tired Ziva? You can sit next to me."There was a hint of laughter in her voice as she sat up on the couch, wraping the blanket around her small body.

Ziva rolled her eyes as she exclaimed on and on about Hogwarts. She'd heard it all before, and she herself had said it before too. "What? A bit. No thanks. Bed soon." She replied in short sentences.

Arya was a little hurt when Ziva declined, she really did like the girl. But she let the feeling past as she snuggled into the couch. "Perseus seems to really like you..."Her eyes on her kitten who was gazing at her ocasionally from Ziva's arms.

"Yeah." Ziva answered. "I hope my brother didn't get me a cat when I left." Ziva laughed, that's all they needed was another animal at the house.

"You don't have a cat?" Arya rubbed her feet together under the blanket. Ziva seemed taken by Perseus as well. She wondered what pets she did have.

"No, amoung other things, I think I wish I had a cat. " Ziva told her rubbing the cat a little more before laying him softly on the couch.

Arya greeted her kitten lovingly as he mad his way to her, resting on her shoulder."You should get one, you seem like a cat person." Not sure about people though.

Ziva sighed. "Yeah, maybe I should." Ziva agreed nodding her head. She reached down to pick up her school bag.

"Hey, listen. I'm sorry if I've been a pain. I've had a rough day. Don't take it personal." She told her quietly.
