Meeting some friends [Violet, Brayden, OPEN]

[selkie]

After several boring hours in the library, Sadie had made a new acquaintance. Rather than continue her studying, the girl decided that it was high time for a break [from slacking]. She agreed to meet Violet and Brayden outside, and this was just what she intended to do.

The second year Gryffindor hurried up to her house tower, speaking the password impatiently to the fat lady's portrait. She jogged up the steps to her dormitory, tossing her messenger bag down on her bed without worrying about crunching her newly-written DADA essay. It didn't matter, she hadn't written very much yet. Glancing around frantically, the girl started calling softly,

"Here kitty...pssst. Kitty kitty?"

Kneeling upon the ground, she glanced under her bed and low and behold she found what she was looking for. A small furry kitten had wedged itself between her traveling trunk and the bottom of the box springs. How on earth it had managed such a predicament, Sadie might never know...but she was in too much of a hurry to wonder about it just now. She squeezed herself nimbly underneath her canopy bed, reaching out to grasp the kitten gently. Carefully Sadie wriggled herself free. She then stood and bolted out of the room and downward still through the castle, toward the Great Hall. The girl tucked the kitten underneath her shirt as she went. She wasn't certain, but there was more than likely some ridiculous rule against having pets in the dining area.

She quickly grabbed herself a snack, then a little bit of roast beef for the kitty, wrapping it all up in a few napkins. Shoving it into her pocket, she also claimed three bottles of butter beer before taking off toward the front door. After a bit of walking, Sadie came close to the lake. She hoped that her friends would find her there... Carefully the girl sat upon the grass. Next she allowed the small kitten to emerge from beneath the hem of her shirt. It waddled awkwardly down to the crook of her lap where it faltered, its tiny paws unable to cope with the odd angle of her crossed-legs. Sadie giggled softly, lifting the kitten and setting it down in the grass. She smiled as the tiny animal waddled this way and that, its movements slow and awkward.

The second year couldn't wait for her friends to see her new kitten! She had gotten the tiny thing from the Charms TA Ms. Halliwell. Sadie couldn't have been more pleased. She teased the tiny creature with a blade of grass as she impatiently waited around to show off the cute little thing.

[Brayden Christiansen]

It was about time for Brayden to walk down to the lake, where he said he would meet Sadie Radcliffe, a fellow Gryffindor, and one of her friends, named Violet. He jumped down the staircase and into the common room. He pushed the Fat Lady's portrait hole with a little too much enthusiasm.
"Hey! Watch it! My friend Violet from the other portrait hole is coming over and I want my frame to look beautiful. She was always a clean freak..."
Brayden ignored the Fat Ladys remark and walked down the Grand Staircase out into the Entrance Hall, where he was for sure he saw a few long blonde hairs before the oak front doors closed. Sadie must already be outside then, Brayden thought to himself.

He took a quick trip to the Great Hall to grab an apple, and then walked outside into the grounds. He walked straight to the beach where the three were supposed to meet up. He saw Sadie, and what seemed to be a small, wobbly kitten.
"Aww, isn't he a cutie." he said, sitting down next to Sadie and kitten, and petting it behind the ears.

[selkie]

Sadie waved when she saw Brayden coming. As he sat and began to pet the tiny kitten it pawed at his fingers, too hyper to sit still. She giggled as it tried to chew on her friend... the kitten was gentle, not really hurting him, just having fun. With a grin, she offered Brayden one of the three bottles that she'd brought from the Great Hall.

"Would you like a butter beer? I'm not really sure whether it's a he or she... kind of too furry and young to tell. But it seems to like you! Watch this!"

Sadie reached over and gently took the kitten's tail between her slender fingers, wiggling it in front of the animal's gaze. It paused, eyes wide as it watched what it didn't realize was a part of its own body. Wiggling a bit, it leaped, trying to catch its own tail awkwardly. The Gryffindor giggled, then opened her own butter beer to take a sip.

[Brayden Christiansen]

Brayden took a bite of his apple as the little kitten tried to catch its own tail. It looked so funny, jumping around trying to catch it small tail.

"Would you like a butter beer? I'm not really sure whether it's a he or she... kind of too furry and young to tell. But it seems to like you! Watch this!"

"Oh, sure! Thanks!" Brayden said, setting his apple down in between his legs and opening the butterbeer. He tooka swig and the warmth of it traveled down his throat, yum. He set it down in the sand and watched the small kitten start to slow down, probably getting dizzy after running in circles for its tail.

"So, your friend is supposed to meet us, right. Violet is her name?" he asked her, taking another swig of buttbeer.

[selkie]

"Oh, yeah... Well I just met her in the library today not long before you came in. She might not have known exactly where to meet us... I wasn't very clear. I think I just said outside. But she'll probably show up."

Sadie took another sip of butter beer, savoring the warm feeling much as Brayden had done. She pulled a long blade of grass from the ground, teasing the tiny kitten with it. The little animal bounced around awkwardly, and the Gryffindor girl giggled as she dangled the blade of grass near her friend. The kitten plowed head first into Brayden's leg, though it didn't seem to have hurt itself.

Sighing softly she dropped the grass on top of the kitten before lying back on the ground. With a lazy yawn, she stretched her arms and stared up at the afternoon sky, blue eyes trailing a fluffy cloud that floated by. Resting her head against her arms, Sadie yawned.

"Do you know if the lake is safe to swim in?"

Surely she wasn't planning on a swim this afternoon... maybe the girl was just planning for another lazy afternoon when she didn't have homework to worry about.

[Brayden Christiansen]

Brayden leaned up against a nearby tree, sipping his butterbeer and biting into his apple every now and then. The sun was shining right over the both of them, but with the gentle breeze, the weather was fine. No clouds were in the sky so it was a great day for being outside.

"Do you know if the lake is safe to swim in?" Sadie asked him. "Well, I've been in it, but not really that far out, only about up to my chest. There's a Giant Squid in the lake, though. I've seen it's tentacles quite a few times, actually." he said, looking out into the water to see if there was a tentacle rising out of the water at the moment, but he saw nothing.

The little kitten walked along the sand, tripping a bit a few time when it walked. It was very cute, and it was very playful as it jumped from Sadies lap to Braydens lap, trying to take a smack at their hands.
"I wish I had a cat. I don't have any pets here with me. I'd like to get one, though, either a cat or an owl." he told her.

It took a long time for Violet to get to the lake. She knew that she is really late. After she left the library, Violet headed to the common room but there was a this ghost that wouldn't leave her alone. Violet was running away from the ghost, but of course she couldn't out run it. She even got yelled at by some person for running away!

Violet quickly ran to around and around and finally, she saw the door that leads outside. Violet didn't know where the ghost is right now. Its either that he's hiding somewhere and wait for her to show up or found someone else to annoy. Violet is betting on the second one.

As soon as the Ravenclaw reached the lake, she found that Sadie and the guy, Brayden were already there. With an apologetic look on her face, Violet said "Sorry im late". The Ravenclaw didn't even had the time to get her snack! But at least she got here.


[[Sorry for the really really late post been very busy]]

[selkie]

Sadie had been watching her new kitten toy with Brayden when she heard someone coming. Glancing up she saw that her newest friend from the Library had finally arrived. She flashed a smile, shrugging as the Ravenclaw apologized.

"Hey! Glad you made it... No worries. Here, I brought this for you from the Great Hall. It was nice and cold when I got it, I'm not sure it may have warmed up a little since then, but it's probably still good!"

The Gryffindor picked up the third butterbeer bottle and offered it to Violet. She then gestured for the girl to have a seat.

"This is my new kitten. I haven't named it yet...it looks a little young so I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl."

[Brayden Christiansen]

Finally, Violet, the girl Sadie had also invited, was walking to the beach. While Sadie said hello to her, Brayden fiddled around with the kitten, stroking its back, and scratching behind its ears. After Violet got herself situated in the sand, Brayden introduced himself.
"Hello, Violet. I'm Brayden Christiansen, 2nd year Gryffindor, like Sadie." he said, then taking a swig of butterbeer.

[eek, short ]

[invisible729]

Violet took a seat and gave a small smile. Violet does like being late, although being late was something that's been happening to her. Class, etc. But it was because things were...not steady right now. Once Violet get things under control, then she wouldn't be late...that much.

"Thanks" Violet said to Sadie as she took the butterbeer from her and took a seat. Violet took a sip on it just as the guy, Brayden introduced himself to her. "Nice to meet you. And as you already know, I'm Violet, fourth year Ravenclaw" she told him.

A sudden thought just then hit the Ravenclaw girl. Ah. Violet felt disappointed on herself since she hadn't gone to class much because of things... as a Ravenclaw, she need to improve her...grades because she wouldn't want to stay back. She better study then.

Shaking her head to herself, Violet brought her attention back to them. "Well, what are you chosen names?" she asked Sadie studying the kitten. It was quite adorable and Violet smiled to it.

[selkie]

Sadie picked up the kitten carefully before offering it to Violet to hold. Being so young the tiny thing began to mew frantically, not quite sure if it enjoyed being held or not. The Gryffindor giggled before responding to the question.

"Well, if it's a girl I think I like the name Clawdia... spelled like 'claws'. A silly pun, really." She snickered. "I don't really know what to call him if he's a he. Do you have any ideas?"

She glanced back and forth between Violet and Brayden, wondering if either had any input. It would be much easier to name the kitten if she had a few ideas to choose from. Sadie took another swig of her butterbeer as she awaited their responses.

[Brayden Christiansen]

Hmm, a name for a boy. Well, Brayden sounded like a nice name, Brayden laughed at the thought. HE thought harder, hoping a good one would pop in his mind, but nothing came to him.
"Hmmm...nope, I got nothing. Do you have any ideas, Violet?" he asked the girl, who also seemed to be thinking. Brayden looked back at the kitten. It was now laying down, and it's tail was going up and down, repetitively.
