But she shouldn't act too eager, so she just simply politely smiled at her Charms Professor. "That's awfully kind of you. Thank you."

As far as helping, she was about to shake her head at the younger Newton's inquiries about food, when she realized she did. She'd shoved some peanut butter crackers in her robe pockets earlier in case she got hungry... did cats even eat peanut butter? Sometimes.

"Uh yes, I do actually..." Sky said with slight hesitation, reaching into her right pocket. "Does your cat like peanut butter? Cause I have some peanut butter crackers.." Sky extended her palm out towards the adults with one peanut butter sandwich cracker resting in it. She had more, but figured one would be enough to lure it. Just so long as it didn't jump out from nowhere and attack her hand; she liked pets, but she hated the element of surprise.

She definitely had her share of clumsy moments - especially when her head was in the clouds, which happened more often than she would like to admit. At the moment, however, she was paying full attention to Phantom who seemed rather disgruntled. Too bad for the cat because she couldn't wander off willy nilly. Especially not when there were dangerous parts of the grounds. They were going to have to get that cat in the cage because the alternative wasn't very pleasant. If she DID run off, they were going to have to create posters and hang them up around the castle in the hopes that someone would find Phantom and return her safely to Gaston.

Peanut butter crackers seemed like they might work. If they didn't... They would have to formulate a Plan B. Maybe a fake mouse could be magicked and they could use that. Rosalyn filed that away in the back of her head for just in case it became necessary. "That sounds good." Smiling at Skylar, Rosalyn waited for the young girl to place the peanut butter crackers in the cage. Fingers crossed it would work because mice were rather gross even if they weren't real.



Gaston smiled warmly as Miss Diggory thanked him for the house points. "You're very welcome, Miss Diggory," he replied. "It was well-deserved." Let it never be said that Gaston Marchand let an act of kindness, not matter how small, go unrewarded!

He watched as the young Slytherin pulled something out of her pocket. He'd hardly expected the girl to have any food they could use as bait, let alone something that his cat happened to like! How did she know his cat liked peanut butter? "She loves it," he said with a nod. Though for the life of him, he had no idea why... His eyes darted toward the black and white cat in the corner, then back to Miss Diggory. "Could you please separate the crackers before putting them in the cage?" he requested. "I think she'd be more likely to lick the peanut butter off than eat the crackers themselves."

While he waited for the Slytherin girl to set out the bait, he turned his attention back to Rosalyn. Her words got a small halfhearted laugh from him. He didn't think it was possible for her to rival his clumsiness, but he didn't say anything about it. There were more important matters at hand now. "Once Phantom steps into the cage, someone needs to close the door behind her," he said. "I suggest using a charm, since doing it by hand would take more time..." He turned to Rosalyn. "Could you do the honors?" She had her wand on her, yes? Well if not, he could always lend her his own... though there was no telling how it might react.

Ordinarily Gaston would've done the spellwork himself, but he was volunteering for the most dangerous job. They needed a backup plan, just in case Rosalyn wasn't fast enough with the spell. He slowly inched closer to the cage, taking extra care not to let Phantom see what he was doing, until he was positioned against the wall nearest the cage. "If she manages to get out, she won't be very happy," he said, "so I'll be waiting here to grab her, just in case."He braced himself for an encounter with an angry, scratching feline, but better him than the others, right? If Phantom clawed Miss Diggory or - Merlin forbid! - Rosalyn, he would never forgive himself!
