But that couldn't have been what her dad meant. After all, she had asked him, and it hadn't done a bit of good. Well, it might be worth a try at least. Presley spotted some older students near her.
"Excuse me?" she asked them. She instantly thought better of her plan. They might inform a teacher that she was trying to sneak out. Now that she had interrupted them, she had to come up with a legitimate reason for it, on the spot. Using her improv skills she asked, "Could you tell me where we got off of the train? It wasn't on the grounds, was it?"
Eirian blinked as her conversation with Jayce was interrupted. Oh, nuh uh. No one interrupted Eirian. "What?" The Slytherin snapped as she turned, and then she realized that this nuisance was both a small thing - probably a first year - and a girl. She didn't like either of those components. Grr. It was apparently stupid, too. Stupid female first year.
"If you are a firstie, you came here by boat over the lake." She pointed in the direction of the giant, dark mass of water. It wasn't visible from where they were, but she still knew the general direction. She remembered walking through the gates mid-year and spotting the lake on the way to the castle. A tentacle had broken the smooth surface just for a moment, and ever since then Eiri was curious about that particular body of water. "But anyone older enters through these gates... Which are closed." Duh. "Both the lake and this path beyond the gate head to the train station where we entered... And that is not part of the grounds we can go on. If you forgot something there, you should talk to your Head of House." Hopefully it understood her through her thick accent... Eirian wasn't going to repeat any of that again. No way.

Rocking back and forth on his feet, the gryffindor boy glared at the little dog. He was a very bad boy and didn't deserve to be outside right now. If Eiri wasn't here right now, Jay would probably carry the pup back to his dorm and figure out a new way to lock him up. But he wasn't about to leave his partner in crime alone.
He paused in his rocking as his eyes wandered around the area, uncertain of what to say or do next. He was about to ask a question when she interjected before he could even utter a sound. "Err.. no. It usually makes them throw up.." he trailed off, realizing he'd have to clean that up later. Stupid dog. Like he hasn't eaten in years...? "He eats everything like that. Including clothing, bedsheets, and shoes. Shoes are his favorite if you couldn't tell."
The Gryffindor sighed, and wiggles his toes.
OOC: Whoops
Sorry...
Eirian blushed as she turned back to Jay and realized that she had interrupted his attempt to speak. Since when were they this awkward together? She could only assume it was all her fault... After all, she had caused too much trouble between them. He insisted everything could be fixed, but she sincerely doubted it. Not much could be fixed once she was done with it. "Eww," she murmured, wrinkling her nose in disgust. Vomit was rather gross. "He can have my shoes..." It was nearly a sincere offer; Eiri rather hated all of the ones she had, and with her money she could buy just as hideous ones anywhere she wanted to. "Has he not gotten sick from all of that?" Probably, right? Woody was a dog, not a goat. "What were you going to say...?"
