His eyes flicked toward the black and white cat. "Phantom... come say hi." The Persian looked back. revealing the white half of her face, then blinked and went back to swatting at the fly. He turned his attention back to Miss Paton. "Sorry, she forgets her manners sometimes."
Hattie loved animals. She had a kneazle and a dog herself. But she had left them both at home. She didn't want to be distracted by too many things this year. She had to do well in her exams. She wanted to at least graduate from Hogwarts, even if she didn't want to use the magical exams she would take. Graduating was pretty important.
"Ooh yes..." She smiled with a beam. She loved petting animals, so would never say no really.
"Oh..." She laughed a little at the cat. That was pretty typical, but Hattie found it funny. She needed funny. She'd been having a bit of a bad year so far.
"Well. Cats do as cats do"
