SPOILER!!: Rat Party

He had no clue where his brother was, but he figured the front of the train was a good place to start looking. One by one, the boy poked his head in the compartment windows and found himself walking down the corridor bit by bit. Empty, empty, full, occupied, empty, empty... While chubby Moody was not feeling all the walking that was going on or the idea of a train ride in general, the boy was determined to find his older brother or at least someone he knew so he wasn't spending the entire train ride alone.

Moody then suddenly started to pick up the pace and was now walking ahead of his owner. Little did Asher know that the part-kneazle had overheard the word 'rats' and was interested in knowing that that was all about. "Whoa! Easy there, boy!"

Glancing up where his cat was heading, he noticed those standing in the corridor outside one of the compartments. Were they having a party or something? "Hi! What's going on here?" Oh, look! That girl had a cat! Maybe they could set up a play date or something!

He then peeked inside the compartment and saw someone that looked familiar. "Hiiiiiiii, Isla!"

"Letting your cat loose on the train to chase down the rats sounds fun, but I don't think he wants the rats dead," Isla said with a laugh. She wasn't laughing at dead rats. She was just making their conversation light-hearted. "Oh, yeah, how did the rats get loose anyway?" she repeated. She hadn't even thought to wonder about that part of things.

It wasn't long before another person joined them, and oddly enough it was somebody Isla actually knew. And he remembered her! "Hey, Asher!" she said. Yes, she remembered him, too. "A whole colony of rats got loose on the train! We were just about to try and find them, when she offered to let her cat loose to go chase them down!" she excitedly said. She had gestured from person to person as she explained things, so hopefully Asher had followed along.

So on THAT note, what was the plan? She turned back to the boy who'd lost the rats in the first place, waiting for him to chime in. Either way, it was showtime on the train!

Walking further inside the girl's apartment, he let his eyes wander, searching high and low for any sign of something small brown and furry. This was a nightmare...This train ride was supposed to be uneventful. Not like this. So in his own thought's Cole hadn't heard the cool comment or he'd probably have said something slightly irritated back. However he did hear the girls offer to help and he said with a weak smile playing over his lips to her. "Yes please and, thank you. 4 eyes are a lot better than 2 eyes when looking for quick footed magical rats."

"We're taking about 5 magical rats in total, so not a big colony at all. My uncle isn't exactly ontop of knowing the school rules." Or any rules for that matter. Cole was so upset and angry at him. This was a mess. Before he knew what happened Avalon stuck her head in the door offering to set her cat loose to track them down. Face whitening at the prospect he shook his head vigorously as he eased down on one of the empty comparment seats trying to breath. ”No Avalon! Keep your cat in check. I don't want my new rats killed.” Cole said with a frightened look over at the eagle girl.

Concentrating on something other than the image of dead rats he mumbled out an explanation as he stared out the compartment window to the girls. "I lost my rats because firstly i didn't know i had them. My uncle bought me a new pet, but didn't let me see what it was since it was supposed to be a SURPRISE. He just gave me a draped over creature cage with a time lock spell on the door. When the cage door eventually opened in one of the front compartments i was expecting a kneazle not 5 rats. I got pretty shocked as you can imagine and in my dazed state they disspeared out the door." It was the truth. Before Cole could do or say anything another student, a boy this time peeked in with another cat at his heels. Lovely. This just got better and better. Standing up again Cole asked as he looked around "Can you guys help me ask around in the other compartments for a sign of my rats? I really want to find them before they become cat food?” Avalon and Ashers cat's had made it very clear that rats would be yummy to feast on.

He was a fourth year now, much taller and smarter. Not as tall as Maxie, nor as smart as most of his peers, but definitely older. Ronan expertly dodged people and animals alike as he walked down the train looking for JC or Maxie or Luz when he heard talk of rats. His own rat was safely in his bag - just Biscuit this term, Cracker needed to stay home because she was ill and he felt bad about sneaking her in - and he wondered if he had finally found someone else with a rat as a pet.

Drifting towards the conversation, Ronan frowned. This guy lost five rats? "Hey, mate," Ronan called out as he joined this.. merry group? of people. "Finding rats is hard, have some older student try and summon them for you maybe? I got some rat treats if you want to try laying those out but I don't think they'll help." The fourth year nodded to greet everyone else, recognising the Ravenclaw from the year below him.

And now there was another young student joining them, and by the looks of it, the other first year already knew him. Avalon deduced from their exchange that the boy's name was Asher. "Cute cat! Is he part-kneazle?" she said, reaching down to pet the furry feline. She knew from watching her grandfather's kneazles the trademark signs of the creature - extra big ears and a fluffy tail. "Shadow's just a plain old longhair," she added, gesturing to her own cat, who was staring intently at her new half-kneazle friend.

Avalon couldn't help but giggle at Cole's frantic response to her offer. "I was just joking, Vance, lighten up!" she said with a smile. She couldn't imagine receiving five rats as a surprise pet. Talk about a disappointment, especially if you were expecting a kneazle. "I can go see if anyone's spotted them. And don't worry, I'll keep the beast constrained." Patting Shadow on the head, she gave the familiar fourth-year Hufflepuff a friendly wave before disappearing down the train hallway. Trying to track down a bunch of random rats wasn't quite how she expected to spend her journey on the Hogwarts Express, but figuring that she didn't have anything better to do, she decided she'd help Cole out. Besides, she couldn't find any of her friends yet. Perhaps they had found seats in the back of the train.
