I Lost My/A Cat!
Interacting with @May Moonstar
May and Alina became pretty close as the year progress. They were able to share some about the friends they were making, their families (or lack thereof), help one another with classes and assignments. It was a good set up. They also wanted to go on some adventures together and now that dinner was over, Alina was to meet her down in the corridors near the Entrance Hall so they could begin one.
But something had happened and Alina now paced back and forth, waiting for her friend and roommate. Normally she was the sit criss-cross on the corridor floor type of girl or lean against the wall and wait. But she was nervous and so for her nerves she paced.
Hoping May would get their soon but not worried she'd show up (because she was dependable), Alina brought a lemon drop from her bag and popped it into her mouth. The process of getting her back unlatched, opening the smaller cellophane back inside, and getting the lemon drop took all but seconds and she wished it had occupied her a little more.
Students passed by, and she kept a keen eye out for her twin sister in Slytherin. They didn't talk as much anymore but they still waved when they saw one another. And of course she always kept her eye out for a certain Hufflepuff boy.

@Alina Rosier
May and Alina were very friendly roommates, and liked each other very much. At least, May liked her very much. Alina had given her a Nickname. 'Em' May thought, as she was going to see her. 'May, you have to remember that 'Em' is when Alli's talking to you!' she kept reminding herself.
May saw Alina, waiting for her, but she probably didn't see her. May decided to take a shortcut and prank her friend instead. Before that, May saw her waving to her twin sister, Bella, and looking at a certain Hufflepuff boy...
Alina seemed worried. Why? May counted to three...
"BOOO!!" a few other students were startled. But May still didn't know if Alli was...
"Wassup Alli? Did I startle you?" May asked, arms crossed. Then, she looked at her. Emotional...again May thought, as she looked at Alina's expression.
"What?! You didn't tell me you liked someone! I mean, anyone could but..you just cannot Alli!! May said, acting angry. There was a lot of tea spilling there.
May still didn't like anyone, but she did hope she would. Someday. But just not now...
"So, Alli, why did you owl me? Lost something? Need my help?quote]

She did jump when May did that. Jumped, let out a scream, placed her hand over her heart like she was dying. It was loud, but brief. "Oh my gosh, Em!" she shouted and closed her eyes, regaining composure. She then had to smile slightly because her roommate had gotten her good.
"And YES!" she sighed, back in frustration. "I've lost my cat! Well, not MY cat, persay. I lost A cat..." she couldn't really claim him as hers as she had no right to him. "But I do favor him very much and he's gone. Poof. Disappeared. Not there! I need someone to help me find him! I need YOU to help me find him!"Sometimes Alina could be a little dramatic. Now was one of those times.
"I mean, there's just so much going on right now! The dance and people talking about it and assignments and now my cat. The cat," not her cat. "A cat!" She let out a little scream because the whole entire thing was getting to her.
"Help me find him, please?" and now she calmed down and looked to her friend with pleading eyes. She had to help, she just had to. She already had raced around that castle like some blindfolded toddler, bumping into everything left and right from random student to suit of armor.

May was glad she had startled her roommate. She had always wanted to do it, and personally, it had been quite fun. She had been waiting to do it for at least a week, but couldn't find the time.
"Well, if it isn't your cat, then why search for it? I mean, maybe he or she is with the owner." May said, and shrugged. She didn't want to go and search for a cat that she didn't know who it was from. What if the owner found them searching for the kitty and....went mad?
"Never! I'm not going to find him! What do you think you're doing? I mean, Alli!" May said, and crossed her arms. Why, why why now!
May wanted to hex Alina when she pleaded her, for May didn't like that. But Alina was her friend, and she seemed to love cats as much as May liked Indian owls....
"Fine. But remember Alli, you will have to repay me!" May said, currently joking.
"So, where is he? Where do you want to find him? This school is BIG Allie, and I don't think we will find him before supper..." May said, and put her hands on her hips. Where could he be?

"We have to find him! It's not like him to wander off..." she said as she hurried through the corridors, her friend trailing behind her. She took her up a staircase and over towards the East Wing where she stopped and pointed at a frame upon the corridor wall. "Look!
But instead of the cat that was normally there, yawning or sleeping, it was just some dark coloring of mixed oil paints. "Artemindoros! He's gone. He's never gone. He likes to sleep or lay down or yawn, or purr. He doesn't LEAVE!" and yes, Alina was talking about one of the portraits...a painting of a cat that she had taken upon herself to name Artemindoros. "Where do you think he went?"
It had her worried. "He's one of my favorite paintings..." she whispered. "I mean, I know there's a lot going on with classes and end of term and dances and everything else but this is important too. You'll help, I know you will," she smiled to May. "And yes, I'll owe you Em. I'll owe you one."
And maybe with two sets of eyes looking out for the car they'd be able to find it. Besides, it was a cat. He couldn't have wandered off too far - especially a lazy cat such as himself.

"B-but Alli, that's just a painting..." May said, as she looked at the painting where a cat yawned and purred. But after that, he was gone.
"Artewhat?" May asked. Well, that's Alina coming up with odd names... she thought, shaking her head softly.
"Look, Alina, if we are going to search painting after painting through the the whole castle...You know, I prefer eating in the Great Hall...." May said, her insides rumbling.
It was almost supper, and May was tired AND hungry.
"Oh Alli, you don't owe me anything. I would do anything for my roomie!" May said, with a bright smile on her face. May was tired, yes, but she really wanted to help her friend. A cat chase would be fun, right?
"What if we split up?" May asked. Maybe they would find the cat- portrait if they splitted up.
"And I thought you meant a REAL cat!" May said, nodding.
May had a cat once, but he had to be given to another family, and May was really said when she had to say goodbye. If that was how Alina Rosier felt right now, then May would help them at all costs. Detention or not...?

“But he is like a real cat,” she protested. “I mean that’s like saying my friend Poppy isn’t real. She is. I talk to her and she talks to me. She wandered off once and I found her three corridors down picking wildflowers from a field.”
Maybe Alina spent a little too much time with the paintings but everyone had their quirks, right? No shame in that. It was just one of her many actually but people could love them or leave it. It was part of who she was.
“Anyway, let’s head this way. There’s a woman milking a cow just over there and maybe Artemindoros went that way. So let’s walk. Let’s talk. Tell me how your day has been other than you being moody because you need to eat.” Alina knee May well but she also got that way. Hangry and all. The best of the best had it happen.
She glanced down the hall and saw her sister again and hoped that it had been the Hufflepuff boy. She had to stop. Their focus was on the cat. “No but really, how has your day been?” She did want to know. She liked being there for her friend.

"Well, I know you like paintings Alli, but they aren't living cats you can touch." May said to Alina, as a matter of fact. Then, paused and said again; "Poppy isn't a painting....right?"
She sad, scared that Alina would say yes.
May liked being with cats, but she absolutely had to touch them. What would she do?
"Look, Alli, I will help you with this if you change that painting's name!! I mean, Artemiri-whatsists isn't a proper name for such a beautiful cat!" Maybsaid, angry. She had lots of names for cats like him. Fuzzy, pickle, fishy...well, maybe this weren't exactly proper, but it would've been better than the name Alina had put to him.
"Well, my day was pretty good, I mean...I met a few new students...some of them were pretty evil..." May said. She remembered the letter her father had sent her. Tears were about to come, but May didn't let them this time. Did Alina ALWAYS had to see her crying?!
"Never mind me. How was your day? I bet it was pretty exiting! Had a good mark on Charms class?" May asked, and winked. She knew how bad Alina was at Charms, and she liked joking at her about that subject.

"Ha, ha, ha," she rolled her eyes playfully because she didn't like Charms. "On a better note though, Professor MacTavish spent all of Herbology today lecturing. I know most of the class would rather that not happen but it's just fine by me. Hearing that man talk, watching him walk..." she sighed.
She did have a huge infatuation with that man, although he still wasn't the biggest crush in her life. Alina paused when she saw a painting with a woman baking and down below her on the floor was some spilled flour. "Look! Em, look!" she shouted and pointed to the painting. There in the flour were some footprints. Little footprints.
footprints. "You, there!" she spoke to the woman. The woman was kneading some bread at this point, back and forth on the tabletop and paused when she heard Alina's voice."Hi!" she tried to be cordial. "I was wondering if maybe you saw an adorable long haired calico cat come this way. See there?" she pointed to the flour trail, "see those footprints? Those have to be his." The woman sighed and motioned for them to keep going on down. "Thanks," she smiled a little and the two began to walk down the corridors a little further.

"I mean, I like Herbology. But Charms my favorite class...I read the Charms book everyday you see. It smells like ginger cookies. Oh, and the classroom too." May said softly. She really liked Charms, and the prospect of entering the class and smell a delicious aroma of cookies made....her tummy rumble.
When they arrived at the painting another little friend of Alli's (May thought) they asked her if she had seen the cat. "A little bit too fast Alli" May said, as they runned, searching for the cat.
"Really! Why don't we stop for a minute?!" May sat on the ground, tired.
"Ok, I'm much better. Do you at least have ONE lemon drop? I'm starving" May said, touching her tummy.
"So, umm about the cats name. Don't call him A whatever, just call him Fluffy!" May said. She was going to buy a cat when she finished this year of Hogwarts. And she will call him Yin. Or Yang? Whatever.
"Look, if you just stop a little bit, I'll let you touch the little Bengala cat I'm going to buy when I finish this year..." May said, still sweating and running.
"Look!" May said, as she looked at a painting with a cat exacly like the one they were searching for...and then, gone.
