Julian grimaced at the sight of torn paper shreds and the disappointed, almost defeated look present on his best friend’s face. “OUCH, that’s got to be a tough one. Do you remember most of what you wrote?” He asked, feeling sympathy for her. “I don’t know how much help I’ll be, but if you need me to proofread it – or keep it for safekeeping out of Nova’s reach – let me know.” Julian propped his hands on his hips and let out a deep sigh. “Divide and CONQUER?”

She smiled softly at the kindness of the Hufflepuff and shook her head. “Not really. But whatever -- I have another week to hand it in.” She huffed, and after one final look over the banister, shook her head. “It’s fine -- she always comes back. Scared of Mrs. Norris, I think. Help me clean this up, though?”

“Unless you’re here to say something interesting I’d suggest you start walking away now.”

“Interesting like... I’ve just stopped a first year from running off with your bag?” Cate held up the bag as proof.

“Oh sorry, hope you haven’t been waiting to sit down.” Kellan apologized as the dark haired male moved his things out of the way, unaware they had taken up so much room. And that he hadn’t left enough space for someone else to sit if need be.

Although she had actually been surveying the Hall for a space at the table for quite some time, Cate didn’t want to be rude -- she was too tired to start anything, anyway. “No, no...” She tried, but grimaced when it sounded fake. “It’s fine.”

“ Are you kidding me?! ” Barked the Head Girl as she picked up the feline that had just tried to run through her feet and nearly tripped her. Sybil steadied herself taking a good hold of the animal as she looked up, huffing in frustration. 

Her eyes widened as she almost caught up to Nova, but watched it try to trip someone first. “Uh -- Sorry, that one’s mine.” She winced, reaching to grab her cat.

Sometimes Lily liked to walk around the castle. She’d never been in any of the other common rooms but she walked past them sometimes on her strolls, and this time she was by the Gryffindor Common Room. She was minding her own business when a cat came bounding towards her. Lily liked cats, in fact she loved them, unfortunately her brother was allergic so she didn’t have one. She beant down and scooped the cat up, stroking it softly and walking towards the common room, assuming it had come from that direction, that was when she heard a girl shouting. “I’ve got her!” she said with a smile, standing still with the cat as she waited for the owner to materialise. 

“Thank you!” Cate called out when she heard someone reply, rushing towards the younger girl. “I would have had to chase her -- and she’s damn fast.”

Aurora much like the timid lion she happened to be the sound of shouting happened to easily startle her while also making her wonder what all the commotion was about until out of her blue hues she noticed the cat and quietly so not to scare it she scooped it up and into her arms for her housemate, gently petting the animal. “It’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you.” She reassured the cat softly, while also making sure that the cat wouldn’t slip out of her arms in the process. “Let’s get you back to your owner, shall we?”

Rushing down the stairs, she spotted her housemate holding the rascal of a cat, and sighed in relief. “Oh, Nova...” She scolded, approaching Aurora. “Thank you. She’s a fast one, I’ll admit.”

“Are you okay there?”

“Yeah. Yeah. ‘S just my stupid cat.”

declcn:

“ I assume that was the infamous Nova? ” Declan questioned the other Gryffindor who he caught a glimpse of. The blond was partially confused, but a part of him also knew that he had seen far weirder things around this castle than a cat running around. “ Um, do I want to know what happened? ” He turned to Hecate with a puzzled expression. 

Hecate sighed and nodded -- her cat was quite the causer of mischief. “Let’s just say, she likes the taste of freedom... And my essays, it appears.” The Gryffindor grumbled, peering over the stairwell for a moment. “She comes back though... Usually.”

Arin nodded and went to head the other direction.  “Let’s meet back here in like an hour, hopefully one of us has found her by then.” 

Cate had only nodded, turning on her heel and attempting to track down her cat. After a whole hour, she returned to the stairs, desperate, and called out. “I hope you found something!”

jaaybirrd:

jay scoffed at hecate’s accusation. “please, jones. besides, i wouldn’t want to jack your style or anything–!”

“MY style?” Cate raised her eyebrows in amusement. “I’ve never even -- okay, that one time doesn’t really count.” She combatted, thinking back to a previous mishap involving someone calling her friend a blood traitor, and that someone suddenly becoming a toad.

Arin walked down the stairs from her dorm, hearing her roommate shouting about her cat, or as Arin liked to call it, the beast from hell. However, she was not about to tell Hecate that.  It was not the first time she would have to help her find that cat.  She made her way through the common room and out into the hallway, stopping just behind the other girl.  “Splitting up will cover more ground.  Which part of the castle do you want?” 

Noticing her roommate, she sighed and turned to march down the stairs. “I’ll try down here...” She pointed to the left of the steps, green eyes narrowing. “She likes the Great Hall.”

sigmvnds:

displeased, sigmund merely pursed his lips. was this bint serious? he decided to play along. “on behalf o’ the twenty some-odd people behind me and myself, thank you.” there was a sneer hidden in his voice as he started descending down the steps, practically trampling over her book bag.

The Gryffindor scoffed as she glanced behind him, rolling her eyes before reaching forwards and tugging the bag out from under him. “For fuck’s sake.” She clenched her jaw, cursing when she pulled a broken ink bottle out of her bag.

adoraisms:

“are you shouting for a star?” adora asked, straining to look up at the gryffindor’s face from her place on the stairwell.

Surprised and slightly embarrassed that someone heard her, Cate swallowed thickly before shaking her head. “No -- my cat. Nova -- Nova’s her name.”

jvliian:

Julian had been on his way up to meet his friend, but running into her in the hallway chasing down and yelling her pet’s name was not the greeting he had expected. He caught up with her in an instant, one of his large bounds covering a significantly larger distance than his shorter friend’s. “What’s she done THIS time?”

Cate sighed in relief at the sight of her best friend, gesturing to the paper scraps as she rolled up her sleeves. “She RUINED my essay and decided to make a break for it. And she’s a fast little devil too, and this school is HUGE.” She complained, peering over the banister for any signs of students having caught the cat.

[hecatejones-blog]

“Shit...” Hecate muttered, eyes following the trail of paper scraps ( the unfortunate remnants of her Defense Against the Dark Arts essay ) away from the Gryffindor common room and into the hall -- the evidence of her cat’s escape. “Nova? NOVA!” She shouted, peering over the stairwell, her shoulders slumped in defeat.
