@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ Larissa's mouth forms an 'o' in fascination, she just loves hearing about other people's lives but something sounds familiar with where he's from. "Scotland... That's near here, right? Is it?" Her eyes look up in thought as her mind flashes whatever map of United Kingdom she could remember, it's also probably near Wales where she's currently living. Larissa looks out on the window of the hallways, the terrain filled with snow. Ah, that rabbit really had to choose to wake up in the middle of winter. She's slowly getting used to it now, Larissa ponders in deep thought, by next year I'll probably be chasing her in the snow ?????. "Emi hates being out in the cold, too. Vamos then! To the next floor!"


(should we move to the next floor's classroom? ouo)

@－ ❛ ɢ ❜：larissa vaughan。⁰⁴ "Oh!" Surprised Henri looked at Larissa and chuckles. "That makes sense." He had never even once thought of where any of them were from but it made sense. Of course not everyone was from the same place and sometimes the people's sayings surprised him. "Ah, I am from Scottland but my mother is from South Korea," he explained, a small smile on his lips. "She is born in Scottland though," he added - his grandparents however not and therefore he had to learn fluent Korean to appease his ancestors. He could not have an angry ghost of his grandmother haunting him, could he? He his lips and nodded then, trying to figure out where Cassi had been going. Looking outside he huffed. "It's snowing. I don't think she is outside. As much as I love snow, she hates it," he then said and looked at Larissa. "So maybe... upstairs?"

@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ She nods her head in enthusiasm at his confused face; "Uh-huh, well that's what my host family keeps saying. I'm from Brazil and it's very warm there compared here, how about you? Because all of you people of the north look weirdly alike but different." Coming to England, Larissa had quite the difficulty to tell people apart but good thing the facial quirks helped her put a name to the face. "Ah, a crack in the wall!" Larissa pokes her head out of the doorway to watch Henri looking around the quiet hallway, she doesn't recall though if Emi hid by staircases or holes before, but she loves a good hide-and-seek challenge from her very own pet. Too bad, they aren't any signs of furs anywhere in the hallway and her eyebrows start to meet in thought and frustration. "Should we move outdoors? Or maybe try upstairs? Not that I think they'd go that far."

@－ ❛ ɢ ❜：larissa vaughan。⁰⁴ "A tropical place?" Henri asked a little onfused but yes, he just hoped they would be all good and safe and sound. He took a shaky breath and tried to relax a bit. This was a safe place, a safe castle aside from the crazy ghost, the suddenly appearing monster spiders and some trolls that ended up in the dungeon one time but - oh gosh, he needed to think positively. "Uhm... stairs? Probably all around here?" Henri said and looked through the hallway but it was empty, not even any student around. He sighed and shook his head a bit. "Okay, they aren't here unless they are hiding in a crack in the wall." But that was most unlikely as well. He sighed and looked at Larissa. "Okay, where to go?"

@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ "Exactly my thoughts! I guess you need to experience it before you could say no, after all we used to live in quite a tropical place." Larissa chortles out loud, she retells him how much Emi was shivering when she finally spotted her then next year she was baffled about how her pet stayed beside the fireplace the whole winter season and behaved after all that. Sighing gleefully, she huffs a hair strand out of her face, "Of course! They'll turn out before the day ends... hopefully. Pets can be a pain but we'd trade everything for them in the end." Slinging her bag on her shoulder and placing her hands on her waist, Larissa eyes around the quietly bustling corridor of the ground floor. "Now that this classroom is crossed out, where shall we go hunting next?"

@－ ❛ ɢ ❜：larissa vaughan。⁰⁴ (do not worry, I've been taking my time too!)

Surprised Henri looked at ther and then chuckled. "But isn't it cold? All buried under the snow?" Then again he was sure the other's animal had thick fur after all. He was worried, nevertheless. Cassiopeia had grown a lot these past few weeks and yet she was still so tiny. He was not sure how big Larissa's Emi was, he was bad with remembering sized, however both of them weren't the biggest, he was sure. "Then let's find them, right?" he said and his lips. The school was big and he was sure Cassi might just have gotten lost. He nodded, glad that Larissa was this supportive and he smiled at her. "Thank you. I hope your baby will be back soon too."

@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ "Oh ceus, she despise it now. Our first snow here I spent a whole day looking for her just to see her buried in snow at the corner of the school! After that she never went out during cold days." Larissa snorts loudly at the memory of their first year in Hogwarts and those dreadful chilly days. In all honesty, she wasn't sure where their pets exactly were (she always wish she did know where Emi was at times like this) but she couldn't let their spirits down, especially Henri who looks awfully worried. "I'd want to say I know they'll be around, but at the size of this school I'm not sure. It doesn't hurt to try looking?" Her shoulders shrug at her unsureness but she places a hand her friend's shoulder with a grin, an attempt to calm his nerves. "She'll be back to her dad before we know it, I know that!"

(oh no, sorry this is kinda late! unu)

@－ ❛ ɢ ❜：larissa vaughan。⁰⁴ "I hope so," Henri mumbled and looked around but right now it did not look like they were going to find their animals first. Hurriedly he posted something on social media, letting the people know to contact him if they saw his cat. "She doesnt like winter?" Henri asked and looked around, hoping to find his little girl but she was nowhere to be seen. As if he had not taken good care of her. He was taking Cassiopeia wherever she wanted to go and yet here she was going places without him. He then looked at Larissa. "You think they are there?" Because, honestly? He had no idea. He felt like a panicked parent.

@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ As she was about to check another desk, Larissa's head raises at her friend's worriness. "Ahh don't say that, it won't exactly happen if we get to them first!" She slams the desk down and hops to the back of the classroom's blackboard. "Well, Emi just likes to go anywhere her paws take her except during winter she's still as a stick." How far she'd go though she doesn't know, that rabbit couldn't stay put for a second who knows where she is now. Her eyes wander around the room and twitches in thought, where could they go? "Somewhere warm... Do you think they'd go that far? I mean the quad is just around the corner and it's still quite sunny,"

@－ ❛ s ❜：yvaine dorian。⁰⁴ Divination was often hit or miss for Alistair, and today proved to be a miss. The symbols within the cup were unrecognizable. To him, it just looked like a giant blob of tea leaves in the bottom of the cup. Sighing, he set the cup down and looked around the room, catching a quick glimpse of Yvaine's distress. It had been quite a while since the pair had talked, but ultimately, they shared a bond that no one else could replicate, even if it was shrouded in tragedy.

Clearing his throat, he raised his hand and waved down the professor. "Professor Trelawney! I'm having a bit of trouble interpreting my leaves. Could you help me, and then we could share it with the class? I'll volunteer as today's guinea pig." From Yvaine's distressed look, he could only hope that the tea leaves were the cause of her panic, but he couldn't be sure. At the very least, he'd save his other classmates from any embarrassment from having their leaves deciphered. It didn't take long for Professor Trelawney to make her way over, and Alistair couldn't help but the appreciate her dedication to her craft. Perhaps he had a bit of a soft spot for her considering that everyone else considered her the laughing stock of the faculty, but he knew better. The Divination Professor was very gifted, and he enjoyed getting individualized instruction from her. For this time though, he lifted his gaze to meet Yvaine's once more to survey her current demeanor, hoping that he had helped in some way.

@－ ❛ ʀ ❜：alistair di angelo。⁰⁴ Unlike most days during Divination, Yvaine found herself distracted. The rambling about tea leaves and bad omens completely flew over her head, the professor's voice nothing but a soft mumble in the girl's mind. Only a few beats more and she could leave to the safety of her bedroom where she could cry and destroy to her little heart's content. At least, that's what she'd been hoping for. Instead, she found herself absentmindedly grasping for the cup before her, fingers shrouded in bandages as she looked over the pattern within. Her eyes catch a sickle for a spare second, a moment long enough for her to throw the object back upon the table and sigh, fingertips digging into her temples for purchase. Of course she'd receive something so dark, her grandmother's howler the day before being less than pleasant for the fourth year. Asking for something more kind and peaceful would be the equivalent of asking for a miracle, she believed. Now, she could only wish that her cup would not be the one chosen to be read. Her gaze shifted to her classmate and old friend nearby, eyes filled with a silent plea to save her just in case. The last thing she needed was for her personal business to be spilled to the class. She'd set a facade upon her transfer to Hogwarts two years ago and she aimed to keep it that way.

@－ ❛ ɢ ❜：larissa vaughan。⁰⁴ "But what if exactly that happens?" Henri said, heart in his throat and just hoping Larissa was right. He could not lose his little baby and neither could Larissa, right? "I don't know Cassi likes it warm. What about your baby? Where does it like to go?" He took a deep breath, nodding slightly. Yeah, little sneaky adventurers. Cassiopeia was exactly like her father when it came to adventures and Henri could not even be angry about it. She was so sweet and so young, so of course she liked to explore and go on adventures.

@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ "Don't worry too much of it, I don't think some creature is gonna eat off a pair of adorable pets. Well, I hope so they won't." Composing herself to think clearly, Larissa looks at the open door of the classroom heading to the corridors and the rest of Hogwarts. She huffs a strand of hair out of her face; "Right, might there be any chance they could've gone off somewhere else than here? Gah, sneaky little adventurers." She turns back to look at Henri, gesturing towards the door to maybe widen their pet search.

@－ ❛ ɢ ❜：larissa vaughan。⁰⁴ "Yes," Henri said, big eyes holding fear in them. he took a shaky breath and looked around. "I hope? But Cassi keeps running around a lot and she doesnt know how to properly realise she is in danger so-" He chewed on his bottom lip, hoping Larissa was right. But they were neither around the tables nor somewhere in the room. Henri had checked everywhere he had been today and nowehere he had found his baby cat. "I... I am just so worried! What if one of the owls or a different creature things they are a snack?" Because now both their babies were gone and it made him scared. "Okay. Okay we need to calm down and think where we can look for them. Right?"

@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ When she spotted Henri, he was all panicky. 'Wonder what's he worked on about?', Larissa thinks as he roams the room looking for something. "Wait, she's gone as well?" She stops at her tracks when he says his cat has gone missing as well. What are the chances of both of their companions vanish in thin air? "Surely, they must have not gone far." Opening her desk in hopes of her rabbit or his cat just lying in, she frowns when the contents are just parchment; she scours under the tables, behind the chalk board nothing that points to where they are. All Larissa could do was sigh and scratch her head in thought. "Gah, where else could have they went?"

@－ ❛ ɢ ❜：larissa vaughan。⁰⁴ Henri had been onehundred percent sure that Cassiopeia had fallen asleep on his lap but the moment he checked when the class was over - she was gone. Just gone. Panic filled him and he had gotten up, looking around in fear. She was still small after all, just half a year, and he wasn't sure if she could get along easily. Biting his lip and swallowing his panic he started to look for her and was about to leave the room when he saw Larissa walk in. "Emi?" he asked confused and tilted his head. "Who is Emi?" Oh wait, was that her familiar? Her pet? He shook his head. "Funny because have you seen Cassi? My cat?"

@－ ❛ ʜ ❜：henri knight。⁰⁴ As their teacher dismisses transfiguration class, Larissa gathers all of her items laid out on her table. She stashes her notes in her pocket and wraps her book in her left palm. She walks over to the door of the classroom when she peeks in her robe to check if Emi wants to hop outside already. "Coelhinha, d'you wanna hop out of my pockets because you're getting heavier?" She whispers to her robe, reaching out to the pocket where her rabbit usually sits in, but surprisingly she isn't there. Larissa's head shoots up in realization, her head frantically shaking, looking around in hopes to find Emi just around her but no rabbit spotted. She returns to the classroom anticipating she's just around, her eyes turns to slits as she scans the area but all she sighted was a familiar Hufflepuff she befriended during first year. "Ah, Henri mi amiga! Is Emi anywhere here?"
