Hello, Daddy! Hello, Mom! I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Lucas had gotten lucky -- Diego wasn't among the poor, cat-napped kitties. He was probably sleeping on Lucas's bed right now. Lucky him. Lucas kind of wished he could join Diego for a nap... Anyway, he'd managed to catch a rather cute cat. Not a kitten, but not a scary, wild cat either. Okay, yeah, he'd been pretty lucky today.
"Sorry, Kitty," he said before casting Petrificus Totalus quickly. "I feel kinda bad about that..." he said to the petrified cat. "But I've gotta make sure you don't move. By the way, I think I'm going to temporarily name you... Um... Well, I don't actually know if you're a boy or a girl, so how about a unisex name? Like... Taylor? Or something?" He looked at the cat. "Oh, Merlin, I'm speaking to a petrified cat. I need more friends."
He didn't know the answer to the Latin question, so he listened to everyone else respond. Okay, seemed to make sense. Transforming an animal. Which was, you know, what they were going to do, right? Lucas looked at his wand quickly. Why had the professor -- oops, SHAW -- taken it at the beginning of the lesson? Had he done something crazy to it? Would water shoot out when Lucas tried to use it to transfigure the cat? No, he'd just done a spell. Everything was fine. He was just being paranoid. Right? Probably?
