Time with a Kitty - Sweetie Whitledge - December 1, 2018

December 1, 1888 - Hogwarts Corridors
It had been a while since Sweetie had walked around Hogwarts for the simple purpose of exploring. But it was now that she was allowing her feline companion to roam around under her watch. The cat was free to move as she pleased, though Sweetie was making sure that the creature kept out of trouble. Hopefully this would keep little miss Bijoux out of trouble. The very thought of her cat trying to eat an innocent creature once more was frightening. If the feline ever got hold of another student's pet... Sweetie would never hear the end of it. That was for sure.

Still, it was quite fascinating to watch as the little cat roamed the halls. Acting as if she owned the place. Every once in a while, the creature would jump onto a windowsill and lay down happily. Feeling the sun on her must be nice. The Slytherin Common Room was not the best place to live for most of one's life. Sweetie could understand her cat's desire to want to roam the halls of Hogwarts. If Sweetie was more confident that the mischievous thing wouldn't get into trouble, she would let the girl run around outside as well. But alas, Bijoux was one for chaos. Certainly not listening. Sweetie still adored her stubborn kitty. No matter how frustrating the cat could be.

Watching as Bijoux caught sight of something, Sweetie's stomach dropped. "Now Bijoux, you must not cause any problems." The Slytherin warned the cat. However, the cats tail was waving back and forth. It was a clear sign that the cat was going to pounce! Sweetie couldn't help but look over at what had triggered her cat to do away with the peace. It was not surprising to see a mouse was staring back at the cat. Wide eyes that were surely filled with fear. What a sad sight indeed. But Sweetie couldn't be distracted. As she turned back to her cat, the feline took the opportunity to jump from where it was. The chase was on. Or so the cat thought.

Overestimating herself, the cat ran right into the wall just as the mouse had darted out of the way. Immediately, the cat looked dizzy and confused as the mouse rushed away. Sweetie wouldn't be surprised if the poor thing was just grateful to be alive. Marching over to her cat, Sweetie picked up the stubborn thing. Earning an angry hiss. Groaning, the Slytherin shook her head in frustration. "Have you learned your lesson now? No chasing helpless creatures. It's mean, and you will only hurt yourself in the process." Well, the second part was only a half truth. Sure, the cat could very well harm herself in a hunt. But it was more likely than not that the cat would be victorious when hunting those smaller than her. Not that Sweetie would admit that.

After a moment of meowing in protest, the cat finally calmed down enough that Sweetie was sure that Bijoux would not go running off out of spite. Setting the cat down, Miss Whitledge looked around at the near empty corridor. At least it wasn't too embarrassing of a moment. The very thought of having to run after her own cat would leave her hiding in the library, common room, and in the back of the class room for weeks. And the proud Slytherin would never want that. She gently pet the cat as she thought.

Where else could they go next in the castle? Somewhere not too chaotic. Loosing Bijoux would break her heart. Perhaps simply wandering the corridors would be best. Nothing for the cat to get into trouble with... hopefully. And it didn't seem too crowded today. The more crowded corridors were to be avoided. The cat would either get stepped on, or go running off while Sweetie struggled to get around everyone to keep up.
