OOOooh! Farmilliar face! Kit gave a few trills and did a few circles around the boy. Arching her back, she rubbed her head and neck against his hand. In her excitement, she flopped over onto her back and rolled a few times. Yeah. This place was awesome!

STOP. Hammertime. Kit froze, then quickly dashed up into Kana's lap.

Kana dropped the quill and sat up, placing one hand over Kit, and holding out the other to calm the girl. "N-n-n-no, it's okay! She's not a rat. Kit is a ferret -- a nice ferret," she assured her. Kit peeked out from behind Kana's fingers and twitched her pink nose at the girl.

Kana nodded, confirming her first-year status. At that thought, she took another look around the common room. First year. Soooo much ahead. Then she looked back down to the paranoid girl, and thought that introducing herself might relieve some tension.

"I'm Kannalynne. This is my friend Noel. And this," she lifted her hand from Kit, sensing that the immediate danger had passed, "again, is Kit Caboodles." The ferret was still curled in Kana's lap, her little fluffy tail covering part of her black face.
"Hi," Noel nodded at the older girl, but his expression didn't turn completely friendly yet. Kit had run away from him back to Kana, although he was sure that the ferret had recognized him, and he blamed Louisa or whatever her name was, for scaring Kit away.

Besides, really, even if Kit had been a rat, was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?

"I'm Louisa..Carter." She said without looking at the kids. "And..I just thought it was a rat because...well, it does look like one from my distance." Aaand they, kind of, scare her. "Anyway, your Kit's lucky that my cat isn't here this term or she would follow her all the time and trying to.." Swallow. "..get to know her." There, no need to scare those kids on their first night at Hogwarts. Although they weren't the ones who screamed 'RAT RAT' and have their wands clutched tightly.
"Cat?" Noel's eyes widened as he turned to Kana startingly fast. "You might want to keep close tabs on Kit from now on, you know, you wouldn't want her cat anywhere near Kit if she's anything like her owner," he observed.

He didn't really notice how rude he might have sounded to Louisa until after he had finished speaking - and he hadn't meant to be mean or anything, he only meant that if Louisa's cat was as jumpy and ready to attack Kit, the little ferret might be better off close to Kana at all times for her own safety.

Although he might not have been paying as much attention to what and how he was saying things in front of Louisa as he usually did. She did seem quite nice and it would be great to have a friend in one of the older years, but Noel just couldn't completely get past the Kit-as-a-rat thing.

A knocking on the window drew his attention, and he turned to see Rogue trying to get in. Grinning and momentarily distracted from the girls, he let his black owl in, trying not to wince as his pet gave him a peck on the finger. Rogue still hadn't quite gotten hold of the loving-peck habit, and whenever he tried more often than not Noel would end up bleeding.

Still, its the thought that counts, right?
