Sitting by the Fireplace

Alice curled up in the big comfy chair by the fireplace in the Hufflepuff Common Room. Her cat Vanilla Bean was next to her. She cuddled her cat and whispered softly to her,"Guess what Nella, I've got a date for the Fools Ball! It's Caleb Hathaway from Gryffindor House."
Alice continued to stroke Nella and she soon fell asleep by the fire.

Matteus came down from the dorm and he saw a pretty girl, a complete bobfoc. Her brown hair glistened in the fireplace, and she was holding a cat. He smilied as he thought about his cat who was sleeping up stairs.

"Have a name?" The girl looked up, and he clarified "Your cat, whats it's name?" He wasn't sure if she could understand his Irish accent but he gave her a kind smile to show he meant no harm.

"Oh, hello." Alice replied brightly. "I'm Alice Crawford, and this is my cat Bean."

"It's very nice to meet you Miss Crawford. May I call you Alice?" Matteus continued, his eyes falling on the cat, "You have a very Lovely companion, there missy."
