Zahra was hungry.

Everyone knew that the food was around the Hufflepuffs.

Even if it was... well... Zahra was bettered raised than to be ungrateful for food, bland and blah or NOT.

So.

She was sniffing around these lower floors, basically waiting on a yummy Hufflepuff or that house elf to show up and feed her.

It was yet another day of being almost suffocated inside because of dust that Forrest decided to wander outside and enjoy the dying sun. With his bag on his shoulder, he stepped out of the common room, looking somewhat bored and was ready to head towards the stairs when he heard some movement.

Was that... was she sniffing around?

She didn't look much older than him so he wasn't intimidated decided to help her. Hopefully, she wasn't smelling the odour of Hufflepuff Common Room. And more hopefully yet, he didn't smell so.

Ahem.

Approaching her hesitantly, he cleared his throat. "Are you... looking for something?"

:: Ganymede pulled a pocket watch out of her pocket. It was nearly time for curfew, but the turnstiles in front of the Slytherin common room gave her the itch to find out more. So far, school was nothing as it was described by her older siblings. The food, the commonroom, and even how she felt now, all were different.

She waited by the barrels for any huffie to stop by. If there was someone who would make friendly chit chat, it was a hufflepuff.

Minerva had finished her work in the Library and was headed back to her common room. She was a bit tired and she had three new books in her bag that were making her shoulder hurt. As she made her way to the barrels something tickled at her nose and she began to sneeze. What the heck was that about, she wasn't a typical sneezer.

Setting her hand down on one of the barrels she looked down, "Eww yuck" How dirty these were. This was just not right for all the puffs to have to deal with as they went through to get to the common room, it was bad enough they had to pay to get in their common room, but to have to deal with the dirt as well.

Placing her bag on the ground, Minerva pulled the vacuum up and set it on a barrel. Removing her wand from it's holster she waved it over the vacuum, "Vacavus" Once the vacuum was on, Minerva began cleaning up around the barrels until it shut off. Waving her wand again, "Vacavus" and then continued vacuuming the dust. Smiling once she was finished, she pulled her bag over her shoulder and headed into the common room.

Sophie crawled out of the barrel that was the door to the Common Room and looked around.

"BRADY??" She yelled called out again for her bunny rabbit who had ran away from the most deliciousness of all deliciousness. That ice cream was AMAZING! Brady needed to TRY IT!

The badger knew her bunny couldn't have gone too far. It was too fond of the girls dorms and she knew it. He would hide somewhere around there and when she least expected, POOF, he'd hop back to the Common Room and to the dorms to hide under her bed again.

BUT NOT THIS TIME! Sophie was determined to find Brady that day. AND GIVE IT ICE CREAM "BRADY!!" She called out again, crawling around the barrels and trying to squeeze her head in between some of them. "HELLOOOO???" Anybody home? Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!

Marigold was heading back to the Common room when she encountered... a crazy person.

"Erm... you need help?" she said.

Sophie was still crawling around the barrels, completely sure she would find her pet rabbit there. She squeeeezed her face in between two more barrels and called out for him once more.

Hmmm... no response. Well, OBVIOUSLEEHHH, it was a bunny! It wouldn't RESPOND. Hehehehehehe! Aww, that was going to be harder that she tho--

The brunette was startled when a voice came out of nowhere and looked around frantically to see where it had come from. "OHAI!" She beamed at the girl she didn't know. Huffie colours! She must be NICE! "Yes, please!" The fifth year smileeeedddddddd at the other girl, not really getting up. "I lost my bunny! I was trying to give him this delicious ice cream" Whichhhh, by the way! "Would yooouuuu like to try some? It's amazing!" And once again, without waiting for the response, Sophie used the Doubling Charm to get another identical bowl as the one that was now on the floor next to her.

Of couursseeeee she still had the ice cream with her. DUHH!! Yum.

With another wave of her wand, she incresed the quantity of the delicous wonder and grinned at the other Huffie girl, holding the bowl up so she could taakee ittttt. "It's delicious! I don't like ice cream that much, but THIS is... is GOLD!" Sophie dropped her wand to be able to take another spoonful of her own ice cream before turning to smile at the unkown girl again. "You don't need to be afraid, it was professor Knox who gave it to meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!" SAAFEEEEE, right? She was the CHARMS professor, after all. She totes KNEW what she was doing.

And she was doing a FINE job, mhmm!! Yum.

Marigold took the bowl of ice cream happily.

"I just LOVE ice cream!" she said, ecstatic. "You did a good job on the charm!" she said through her mouthful of ice cream deliciousness. "OH! I'm Marigold, by the way!" She giggled.

OH! A missing rabbit, right. She looked around for a telltale... well... tail.

"I don't see your bunny, sorry." she said. Then, a little curious, she asked, "What's the bunny's name?"

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Sophie BEAMED at the new girl when she said she loved ice cream. "I don't, really, but THIS one is BRILLIANT!" Oh, had she said that yet? Her bad! But it was truly amazing, yep yep yep!

OHEEEY, see how this girl was nice!! Complimenting her Charms work and stuff! She got a toothy grin from the fifth year that was still on the floor near the barrels. "Thank you!! I love Charms!!" SHE LOVED THEM OH SO MUCH LIKE WHOA HEHEHE!!! Best thing EVER! AfterMordredbutstill. SO AWESOME!

"HELLOOOOO, MARIGOLD!!" Sophie literally yelled, waving her hand frantically at the girl in front of her. "That's a nice name!!! Nice to meet yoooouuu!!" Especially because she had accepted the ice cream. Marigold was good people, she was indeed, yep. "I'm Sophie!" Had she already said that? Yes? No? Yes? She didn't recall, but it was alright. Life was beautiful and ohmy look at that painting on the wall there, how NICE!

Sophie looked back at Marigold with a question-mark expression on her face. Bunny? OHRIGHT!!! BRADY! "I lost him!" The brunette turned around on spot, stiillll crawling on the floor and squeezed her face between two barrels again. "It's Brady!" Could Marigold her hear? Sophie was pretty sure she could. Or maybe she should speak a bit louder?

The badger looked at her younger housemate again. "Could you help me find hiimmm??? He's white, fluffy and cute." Yehhhhh, but Sophie had no idea if he was actually hiding there. Who knew? Who. Knew?

Not her.

After a few more bites of ice cream, Marigold was yelling along with Sophie.

YOUR BUNNY SOUNDS CUTE!" she said energetically. She looked around sporadically, then stopped. "I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A BREAK AND EAT ICE CREAM! Because ICE!CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!

She gulped down more and more ice cream. And more.

"THIS ICE CREAM IS GOOD. Don't you think?" she asked. Suddenly, a flash of white appeared in front of her.

"OH. IS THIS YOUR BUNNY?" She scooped the fluff and SHNUGGLED it up. Argh, it was so cute! She wanted to eat it with ice cream.

But she would settle with just ice cream right now.

Sophie was back to looking for her bunny frantically. Though every once in a while she would turn around to have some more ice cream. It was in one of these moments that she was startled once again, when Marigold started yelling like she was doing.

HEHEHEHEHEHE COOL! Sophie grinned widely at the girl and laughed a loud laughter when the younger badger said Brady sounded cute. "YEAH, HE'S VEERRRYYYY CUTE!" The fact Marigold was also yelling made Sophie even MORE hyper, if that was possible.

OMG ICE CREAM! "Good idea!!" The fifth year turned her back to the barrels and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate ate ate some more of the ice cream. Grabbing her wand back from the floor, she increased the quantity of the yummy thing in hew bowl and did the same to Marigold's ice cream. BEAMY!GRIN! "Can't run out!" Nopenopenope!

"Merlin, YES!" The ice cream was TOO good. Even Sophie thought so! And that was a BIG deal like WHOATHISICECREAMISGOOD. Yum!

ASDFGHJKLKJHGVBN

The older Hufflepuff almost chocked when Marigold picked Brady up and snuggled it. "YES, THAT'S HIM!" Sophie exclaimed, pointing dramatically. Her dramatic expression soon vanished as she looked down to eat some more of her ice cream. Brady was found! So she could focus on the ice cream and ice cream only.

YUM YUM YUM!

Sophie INCREASED the ice cream! MORE ICE CREAM!

"YUMYUMYUM THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHNFJDOWODMEI!" she said, taking HUGE bites of ice cream because WHY TAKE SMALL BITES yep.

Wait, Marigold found Sophie's bunny? OHYEAHTHISBUNNYSHEWASHOLDING!

"YES I FOUND YOUR BUNNY!" she said, petting the bunny because BUNNY. She turned back to the ICECREAMDELICIOUSNESS and ate some. Yum. Very good. She nodded.

"CAN BUNNIES EAT ICE CREAM?!?" she asked loudly. THE BUNNY EATING ICE CREAM WOULD BE SO CUTE ASDFGHBINSBIRJF RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!

Sophie was niiiiiiiice. She gave Marigold ICE CREAM!, she increased it so they could EAT MORE, and she had a CUTE BUNNY. What more could you ask for?

"SO," she yelled, beaming, "HOW OLD IS YOUR BUNNY?" It looked like a young bunny yep, but you never know with BUNNIES.

Sophie BEAMED at Marigold when the younger Hufflepuff thanked her so much. Seeee?? That was a proper Hufflepuff right there! Nice little girl, Marigold was, yep yep. "HEHEHEHE YOU'RE WELCOME!"

The brunette had another laughing fit at the fact Marigold had found Brady. Wasn't that BRILLIANT? What a BEAUTIFUL day! "Ohyeah, thank yoooou!!!!!" The fifth year beamed once again. Lovely day with lovely people and lovely bunny. AND LOVELY ICE CREAM, OF COURSE.

Yum.

Oh, good POINT! "I don't know! Ya see, I was trying to make Brady eat it when he ran away!" Which totally didn't make sense, because this ice cream was marvellous. "Here, let's see if he eats it now!" And she held her spoonful of ice cream right at the bunny's face. "HERE YOU GO, BRADY! COME ON, TRY IT! IT'S GOOD!" The girl yelled at her little bunny rabbit, who struggled BIG TIME and got away from Marigold's grip, running away again.

"Okay, byyyyyyyyyyeeeee!!!!!!" Sophie waaaaaaaved at him and ate the ice cream herself. Couldn't waste that precious thing, could she? Nope.

Yummmmmm, this was so good. Merlin! Oh, question. "Uhh...." Sophie squinted her eyes, thinking. "I got him in third year... so................................ TWO! Or almost three." Riight? She wasn't thinking very straight right now for some reason.

Oh, but the ice cream was good, so no a problem!

"YOU'RE WELCOME!" Marigold yelled into Sophie's face. Oh, so SOPHIE was trying to feed BRADY!BUNNY ICE CREAM when he ran away.

"NOT SMART BUNNY. WHY RUN AWAY FROM ICE CREAM?" she screamed, not really aware she was saying it aloud.

SHE ATE MORE ICE CREAM.

"YOU SHOULD EAT IT BRADYYYYY!" Marigold tried coaxing the bunny to eat ICE CREAM.

The bunny was gone? Poutpoutpout.

"Your loss bunny. MORE ICE CREAM FOR SOPHIE AND MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

Oh. Young bunny.

Sophie simply smiled brightly at Marigold screaming at her face. It was aaalllllllllllll good because the girl was nice, so the yelling was a friendly one, so it was aaaalllllllll good. "Oh, I knooowwww, RIGHT??" She commented on the younger girl's remark on anyone running away from ice cream. "Brady just doesn't understand..." She shook her head and took another spoonful. "Yum!"

Brady didn't want the ice cream, but NO MATTER. Sophie and Marigold did, so there you go. "YES!!" The brunette beamed at Marigold's words. Her thoooughts exactly! More for them, hohoho!

"I wonder..." Sophie finally said after a few seconds of ice-cream-eating. "...I wonder how long bunnies live..." And she made her thinking face. And ate more ice cream.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.............
