She eyed Nerida’s hand for a moment before gingerly extending her hand and shaking the tip of the other girl’s extended fingers. Awkward smile. This was leaps and bounds progress on her social skills now, be happy yeah? Far better than her usual way of staring at hands she wouldn’t touch and leave the other fellow hanging.

And now with the pets. So the blue cat was named Sky. Blue.... Sky. Of course.

And then there is this other cat named Lightning. Huh. Should she expect someone to say they had a pet named Thunder? But then Huxley’s head darted sharply towards Eliza when she mentioned “A cat house?” Did she actually say she wanted Ravenclaw to be known as a cat house? “I---I really hope not.” She had nothing against cats, but pets was not the thought that popped into her head when that phrase came up.

Nerida gave a nod, "Yeah the kitchen looks amazing now... Don't tell my mom I know but she wants to throw me a Graduate party thing so you might hear from her, shes not very good at keeping things from these babies." She said pointing to her ears. Sky let the red head one touch her but only because she didn't feel like sniffing and sniffing as long as Nerida had her the redhead could touch her..Maybe when she felt like it she would permit a touch without Nerida. "Yes, she was sleeping in here under some books that had fallen....Stinking books I had looked everywhere and she was in the common room the whole time.." She giggled as Eliza tried telling Sky not to do things...If only she knew Sky only listened when she wanted to.

Hearing everyone mention their year she could too...Even if it was sad..."I'm a Seventh Year." Yeah could she stay at Hogwarts forever....Knowing she couldn't...

Lightening.. Cool name it would be epic is she had another so it could be Lightening and Thunder! But she probably didn't. She looked down at Sky be nice she gave her a look. Sky gave a sniff...Who was the cat??? Hearing Eliza she said "A cat house?" giving another look down at her cat. "We would never see Sky, shes one of those loner cats...I've tried making her not but she really just keeps to herself. If she recognizes you she might come up to you but usually you have to come up to her." lazy cat that she was. "If im not here and she really wants to pet she might attack you with licks and purring!!"

"Yeah Ravenclaw The Cat House....Ravenclaw The Eagles....Going to have to pick the eagles..." She said in response to Huxley.. "No offence guys" she gave a look down at the two cats...

Yes, that was where she recognised the name from. She flushed a little, muttering, "Ignore me." Huxley was a cool name anyway, but the nerdy connotations that Charlie now realised it shared made it ten times cooler. Or maybe she was just a big nerd. Either way, she'd have to see if the library had a copy of the book - she hadn't read that one for years. Smiling at Huxley and Eliza, Charlie was pleased to find that she had finally found some people who were in her year. "Seventh year? Have you been here since first year?" she asked Nerida as she mentioned her year. She already felt nostalgic for the girl's last year, and they'd only just met.

The cat house? Totally amusing, and it made Charlie laugh. However... "Got to say I'm with Huxley and Nerida on this one, though," she said with a grin. "I think there's just something about Eagles that I prefer." And she was pretty sure that the other 'Claws would have something to say about it - there was probably more than one cat-disliker in the house. Even if that was a thought that Charlie couldn't imagine. "Give him any treats and attention and he'll probably prefer you to me," she said with a laugh. Which meant, 'of course'. "If you ignore him, expect lots of purrs and nuzzling." Because Lightening was totally spoilt and a huge attention seeker, and would probably love the fact that Eliza was so eager to give him what he wanted.

Yep: cue huge contented purr from the Bombay. And maybe his name was slightly embarrassing, but she'd named him when she was eleven. And she had been a clichéd eleven year old.

Hmm, that thought hasn’t even crossed the brunette girl’s mind because she wasn’t really thinking she would last very long around this place to know what it will be like when its her turn. As far as she was concerned, her being corralled into Hogwarts was a temporary set back.

And it seemed like they didn’t know what the other meaning to cat house. Huxley stretched her legs across her bed and straightened out her skirt and angled her head neutrally at the conversation. She will keep it that way then. She wasn’t going to be the one person that would tell them worldly details. They have the rest of their young lives to blunder through and figure that out.

Oh but an exclamation from the blonde who awoke her. And a name from the books. Huxley narrowed her eyes some “Clever girl.” She deadpanned before giving the blonde an acknowledging smirk “Yes I am familiar with the dystopian novel and its author. He comes from a renowned family of scholars and philanthropists.” As to whether she had the honor of being related...who knows. The secrets she has yet to discover.

Well she didn’t have a cat, and although she hasn’t found herself sneezing or itching, this brunette couldn’t really relate with the feline talk. Maybe if they talked about wanting to own a Bengal Tiger she might be more inclined to stay. “I should start getting ready for bed...” she said as she slipped off the bed and started to unearth clothing material from her trunk “Bathrooms here... they are shared I’m guessing? But they have proper walls and shower curtains and such right?” because she wasn’t about to shower in naught but her skin in front of strangers.

Eliza nodded in 'yer welcome' kind of way when Huxley sort of accepted their compliments. I wonder if she doesn't like it? Eliza wondered, but couldn't see why the girl wouldn't like her own name, since Eliza liked it so much.

Eliza grinned and winked at Nerida and said, "Oh don't worry, I won't tell your mom you know about it. Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise! Mom's care about those a lot you know? Surprises and gifts and all of that. I can see why though, so I guess I'm the same way..." She hadn't realized she was thinking out loud again, but once she did, she didn't feel anything she'd said had been to revealing, so she shrugged and moved on.

Still trying to pet the cats, Eliza turned her chin upwards towards the girls so that she could still listen. It seemed Sky had taken a liking to her for now, so Eliza smiled at that. "Well I sure am glad you found her! That would've been awful to lose her in the castle for too long. It's so big in here, who knows where a cat could hide." She made a mental note to not be offended if Sky was a bit of an independent feline, and that she should just try to pet her first.

As for Lightening though, it seemed bribery would work best, according to Charlie. She gave the bombay a light petting too, so he could get used to her. "Treats for Lightening? Got it," she said with a little wink at the cat. "But I'm sure he'll always love you the most!" she said with another smile to Charlie.

So no one wanted to convert their mascot from an eagle to a cat? Well that was okay, she'd only been joking anyway. "Yeah I guess a cat wouldn't be such a great house animal choice, since Gryffindor is already a lion and all. Plus, the eagle is pretty neat anyway. I like the idea of having feathers as part of our house pride you know?" Being the artistic person that she was, her mind was already off on how she could put feathers in her hair or on a necklace like a dreamcatcher to feel a little more representative of her house - especially at matches and things. She wondered if the other girls would be going to the matches much this year.

"Nerida, I can't believe you're a seventh year!" she said with wide eyes, now standing up from petting the cats. "Do you have any ideas on what you want to do next?" She knew it was a loaded question, but she had to ask anyway - curiosity and all that.

A look over to Huxley as she told about the author Charlie had mentioned revealed that the brunette was looking pretty drowsy. Had they been keeping her awake? She hoped not! "I'm sorry Huxley! I didn't realize how late it was! Of course, you can hit the hay if you want. I'll try to keep quieter for you," she said with a scrunched up nose to show her apologies. Eliza tried to think if the bathrooms had ever been as embarrassing and horrible as Huxley wondered, but she didn't think they had been. "Nooo, no. Yes, they're regular ol showers and baths. But nicer, you kno, like Hogwarts style with nice soaps and shiny knobs and fixtures. Take whichever you like. You don't have to share!" Eliza would've been taking trips to Hogsmeade for her showering rituals by now if she had been forced into locker room type showers this whole time. What she looked like in soap and bubbles was for no one's eyes but her own.

She gave a sheepish look to the other girls as Huxley began getting around for bed. Maybe it was best that they all get some sleep. She was sure Nerida would have lots of studying and classwork for her N.E.W.T.S. and she and Charlie had Astronomy homework, if the other fourth year had started on hers yet that was. "Maybe I should get my jammies on too gals. Whaddya say? Unless you want to talk more somewhere else, I could always keep my eyes open for a while longer." It was up to them. Eliza had been known to stay awake for chit chat at sleepovers hour after hour, so she was still getting used to going to bed on time.
