There is Hair Where?!
Galton and Toad had been at Hogwarts for a few weeks now. Everything had been going fine. Until this morning. Galton had found something on Toad. Something invasive, and unnatural. The naked cat was growing her hair back. Galton couldn’t explain it. Why would you ever need to shave a cats hair? There was no explanation, no signs. Not even the giant scar on Toad’s belly led to any responsible conclusion.RP with @Asteria Norbert
It was good he’d found it quick. If his parents ever got wind of her hair, it would be over for the duo. He knew he needed to act fast. They had spies everywhere. They always said they could see his every move. A statement that had made lying to them futile. There was one thing Galton could do. Shave her.
Acquiring a razor had been easier than expected. The Gryffindor bathrooms had tons of them lying around. Borrowing one in the middle of the day wouldn’t be noticed.
Next, the setting. It had to be out of the way from most kids, he couldn’t risk being caught by a parental spy red handed. The abandoned toilets were the only solution. Who would shave here?
He was ready. Toad was ready. The cat was wet and covered in soap. Galton wasn’t. The older boys said it was what you did to shave, you had to get the skin all slippery. He held the razor, hand steady as a wizard before a duel.
And so he touched the razor to Toads skin, sliding it back as careful as possible. What would this look like he wondered?

Whenever Asteria was in stressful situations, random quotes from books would pop into her head. Unfortunately, this was one of these moments. Maybe she shouldn't have read the Lord of the Rings series 3 times. "All those who wander are not lost" definetly didn't fit her situation.
Asteria was new to Hogwarts and she was so confused at where everything was. It was like the stairs decided to change only to taunt her. So, once the weekend came up, she decided to explore some and try to remember where everything was. She did not want to be late to class again. Making a good impression was one of her top priorities. Her notebook was in her hand, ready to take as many notes as possible. There was already a crudely drawn map that she could hopefully use in the future. Deep down though, she knew it was totally wrong. She tucked her light blue pencil behind her ear as she finished drawing the stairs. Just as she finished, they changed. Her frustration boiled.
She started erasing the one decent drawing on the map, but ended up ripping the paper and tossing it in her backpack. She needed some map soon or her teachers or she will be expelled for coming late to class so many times. Maybe one of the prefects could give her one. When she turned back to go to the Ravenclaw dormitory, she realized that she had no idea where it was. She was so deep into her thoughts that she didn't notice she was lost.

Maybe just taking a random route should work out. Her luck wasn't that bad. That was a lie. A left here, going down the stairs here. She never landed on some thing she could recognize. If only the Room of Requirement could appear. Asteria looked around and saw some doors. The one on the side looked like the right one to try.
Well, its worth a try. She pushed it open instantly recognizing that it was the abandoned toilets. How great. She turned around, ready to walk out when she heard some noise. It sounded like a...cat? What would a cat be doing here? Her curiousity abuzz, she walked into the direction of the sound.

Somewhere along the whole shaving thing, Toad got very annoyed. Was it the water? The soap? The razor being dragged across her skin? Galton didn't know, and he wouldn't have ever expected this to happen. This being the current chase that was evolving wildly in the decrepit bathroom. About ten minutes into the ordeal and Toad was ready to be done. With a bit over half her new fur shaved back into the void that was her pale body, she decided that she had better things to do.
And so, the girl would see a young boy running around a bathroom, shirt and pants wet and bubbly, chasing a nude cat. Every time he closed in on the cat it would pivot and turn, it's claws fully extended to allow grip, and after a few steps be bolting off in another direction. Galton was not as agile as Toad, and would at this point normally slide or fall, only to pick himself up and resume the chase.
"TOAD! STOP!" Galton yelled in a frantic voice. "PLEASE! THEY'LL FIND US OUT!" He screamed again, pleading with the cat.
A short meow followed in reply, one that conveyed a playful no to Galton. In reality it sounded much more annoyed and hostile, but what did Galton know about cats.

[Quote]Deyanira was trying to look for the bathroom, because she really needed to use—no, if she didn't use the bathroom in the next few minutes...
The young Gryffindor hurried around the castle, looking for the lavatories. If she had been paying closer attention she would've noticed that she had passed them almost five times now, but she was still walking around like she had lost something of great importance.
Deyanira sucked in her cheeks and rounded a corner. She stopped in her tracks. Was that a cat she had heard? It wasn't unusual for her to hear such things, because nearly everyone seemed to have a pet around here, but the sound was paired with shouts from someone, and that sparked her curiousity.
Forgetting about her bladder for the moment, she snuck down the hallway. She recognized the area somewhat and realized that she had come to the Abandoned Toilets.
Deyanira frowned. Something fishy was going on. Who was in there, and what were they doing? Lucky for Deyanira she had an excuse to come in, though she still would've even if she hadn't.
Deyanira burst through the door, joining in the shouting, “Waaat is 'eadin' on 'ere—!”
What started as something playful ended in bewilderment. Was someone... “What in de name of—are yer shavin' a cat?”

Oh great, another pair of eyes. This was evolving into a rather uncontrollable situation. Galton thought he was capable of handling the shaving on his own. Which he still believed. But, would he be able to make sure the pesky girls’ lips would stay closed when it came to Toad’s secret? Or would they be rats and spread news of the events, possibly even so far as to his parents.
It was a stressful situation, one that was only gaining traction. Normally Galton wouldn’t stress too much about it, but with the threat of losing his Toad, things were brewing deep within Galton. A combination of candies and cakes for lunch, with the building stress were about to force Galton’s lips open, not the girls’.
“NO! I’m clearly trying to catch a cat!” He shouted to the new girl, just centimeters away from the slippery feline. He would have her! He lunged, Toad turned. As Galton took air he screamed. “Get the ca-!” His voice cut off by a loud thud onto his stomach.
The lips opened, a bile concoction of pinkish yellowish fluid flowed from the boys mouth. The thud had knocked the dastardly brew lose from its organic cage, which just so happened to be Galton’s stomach. He could taste all of what had once been his yummy lunch turned to this bitter, burning gruel. Chunks of hastily eaten gelatinous candy assisting his throat on its exit. Only to land in front of him. Slowly pooling and dribbling into one of the drains.
He could do nothing more but pray for the best as puke poured out, and he watched Toad slip farther away. She gave a quick chirp, making sure Galton knew that she knew. The cruel and embarrassing consequences of a debatably cruel and embarrassing grooming.

Asteria decided that the situation was getting a little out of hand. Another girl had joined them, probably a first-year from the look of it. She looked pretty confused, and a little surprised. However, Asteria was kind of just sitting on the side, watching with interest. It seemed like the boy really didn’t want anyone to find out because he was doing it in the abandoned toilets. No one would do that by choice because this bathroom smelled absolutely awful.
It seemed as if the feline was losing because it was about to be caught. But then the boy suddenly fell, vomiting all over the floor. Asteria cringed, inching toward the door. The vomit was quite colorful, which is a weird observation. The cat, proud that it wasn’t caught, was licking her law, out of reach for the boy, but right under Asteria. It was right there, purring softly. Should she pick it up and give it to the boy? Clearly he needed help. After a little hesitation, she sprang on to the cat, surprising it. Ignoring its struggles and pained meows, she carefully stepped over the puddles of puke and walked over to the boy.
This situation is quite strange, but I promise I won’t tell anyone. Hopefully, your cat cooperates.

Deyanira's mouth opened and closed as she gaped from the boy and the cat. Her eyes eventually went to the girl. She wondered what she was thinking about this entire thing. This was absolutely unbelievably, and also a little bit funny.
A chuckle escaped her lips, then a few titters of laughter, and eventually she erupted into laughter. She was doubled over, tears streaming down her face. Deyanira was so caught up in her laughter than she almost didn't catch when the boy fell down and threw up everywhere.
Her laughter immediately stopped and she and the other girl watched as colorful bile escaped from his lips, falling onto the floor. The cat looked pleased with escaping being caught but this boy was clearly in distress. And the smell was dreadful. Deyanira covered her nose and backed up, moaning, “Ew...,”
While the girl actually went towards the boy, Deyanira continued to walk back until her besck hit the wall. She looked to the left and saw the doors, then looked back at the two other students. “Um, a'm aff tae git a professor...,” she squeaked, before gagging.
Deyanira quickly slid out the bathroom and disappeared down the hall, running towards the direction of the Gryffindor Tower. She was definitely not going to get help, or at least not first. She was going to tell everyone what happened and laugh about.
Left the thread.

Galton wiped the sweet and sour concoction he’d just expunged from his chin with a hand. He did his best to roll over, away from the pooling vomit, to compose himself. His mind was still spinning as he scanned the spinning room. Vomiting and taking a hard fall was a great way to lose any sense of reality.Interacting with @Asteria Norbert
Galton’s reality was suffering. Parental spies closing in, a wild cat, and now the loss of his lunch. At least he’d be hungry for dinner. But woe! The snarky girl fled. Saying she way getting a professor?! Galton was doomed.
When the world finally stopped spinning and Galton was able to focus he saw a girl standing their with Toad. The normally annoyed cat looked quite happy in her arms. Toad had to be happy at the scene she’d just caused, thinking she’d gotten herself out of the shaving. Galton wouldn’t have a half naked cat though. Toad had to be completely bare.
As he plotted his revenge for the cat, the nice girl spoke. She wouldn’t tell. Good, Galton wouldn’t need to silence her. But the clock was ticking, the professors the other had alerted would be closing in. They’d need to act fast.
“Hold Toad down, we need to finish this! Quick!” He yelled at the girl, scrambling to find his razor.
