Open RP - Hufflepuff dorm

[first_shot]

((backdated to just after the kitty app))*Han slunk down the hallway towards Hufflepuff, carefully holding the basket with the kitten in an attempt to both keep it quiet, and keep it from being seen. He certainly didn't need someone seeing him with this silly ball of fluff. Especially if that someone happened to be his apparently-future-sister-in

With uncanny timing, a large cat with long gray fur, six legs and bright green eyes hopped off the shoulder of a woman sitting on one of the common room sofas, trotted quickly over to Han and began nosing at the basket.

Who's in there? Wanna say hi? Galahad sent to the basket's occupant.

*Han frantically waved at the new cat* "Shh... go! You're going to draw attention to me!" *Han hoped fervently that the kitten wouldn't wake up, which of course, it did, mewing rather loudly*

Laura caught up to the treecat and picked him up. "Sorry. He loves Terran kittens," she said with a grin.

*Han glances around almost guiltily* "Umm... Terran kittens?" *He tries to shove the basket further behind him, wishing dearly the kitten inside would be quiet again*

Leia was curled up on a chair in the common room, skimming through a catalog of wands. While it would be best to make a trip to the nearby village to try them out in person, she had decided that it would probably help to have some sort of idea of what to expect from them.

She heard the portrait open behind her and planned on ignoring it until a quick Force-probe let her know that it was Han. She leaned over to ask him about the wands but noticed that he was very obviously sneaking in. What's he done now? Visions of him losing her lightsaber in a sabacc game flitted around her mind, and she dismissed them. She hadn't seen a single sabacc game since they'd arrived. Still, it might be fun to mess with him a little. She cleared her throat.

*Han spun around, shoving the basket behind his back and trying very hard to pretend there wasn't mewing coming from inside. Plastering on a charming smile he continued to try, as subtly as possible, to get Galahad to back off. Unfortunately for him he was failing miserably*

"Hello, dear. I didn't see you there."

[kissawookiee]

She smiled back sweetly. It really was fun watching him squirm. "Well, the back of the chair was in the way. What're you hiding?" She nodded towards the gray six-legged cat. "Whatever it is, it has a fan."

[first_shot]

"Hiding? Me? Would I be hiding anything from you?"

*Han flashes his most charming smuggler grin, guaranteed to make him appear as honest as possible... at least to most people. Putting on an air of interest, he casually changes the subject*

"What's that you're reading?"

*Demyx had followed Han, since the man seemed to know his way to Hufflepuff. Making a note of the password, the Nobody slipped in after him.*

Hello there! ... Why are you holding the basket like that?

[first_shot]

"Uh, hi there." *Han smiles a little tentatively, still not used to this friendliness that people seemed to have here. Admittedly, he'd run across his share of outwardly friendly people but it never ceased to make him wary. He carefully didn't look at the basket* "Umm... no reason." *He gives a fake smile, shifting to keep the basket away from Leia and inadvertantly allowing a brief glance at the kitten*

[soggynotecards]

*Demyx smirks. After all, it's a heart he lacks, not a brain, and the glimpse of the kitten allows a suspicion to dawn.* Oh, that sort of thing, is it? Alright, then. Let's start the conversation over. Your turn to pick a topic.

[first_shot]

"Um.. what sort of thing?" *He looks at the other man curiously, after all, if was a gift for Leia he was hiding... not smuggling contraband. At least, not this time. He shrugs and casts around for a topic* "New here?" *Ok, so not the best of topic changes but hey, Leia was the politician, not him*
