Twinkle and a Chance Meeting

Reducio
Note: I mention wanting to get a rat. I now have a backdated thread getting said rat. I am not planning on fixing this continuity issue unless it's a problem, for Bailey's convenience.
Tesla was running down the second floor corridors; not because she was late or had anywhere to be, but simply because she couldn't contain her energy. And... maybe to help her ignore the looming start of classes ahead of her. Just a bit. All the same, it had been a remarkably rainy and gloomy day, and no matter how close to the outdoors her dorm room down in Hufflepuff felt, it didn't exactly have enough space to run and skip around in once she'd gotten too bored of flipping through Hogwarts, A History to sit still any longer. So, here she was, in grass stained jeans and tank top, sprinting up and down a thankfully empty corridor.Date and Time: 19 Sept Mid Afternoon
As she skidded to a stop to start walking back down the stairs to her dorm to hopefully work on her studies some more, she was stopped by a pair of blue eyes blinking curiously at her from behind a set of armor. It was a kitten! Well, not technically a kitten, but still a cat on the younger end of years, and it was cute and tiny enough that Tesla's heart melted. Crouching down where she'd stopped she extended her hand and rubbed her fingers together with the signature pst pst cat noise to try to call the cat forward. "Hi pretty kitty, c'mere! Are you lost?"
As the cat stepped out from behind the armor to wander up and rub against Tesla's hand, she took in it's cute grey tabby stripes. "Hi there! You're a very pretty kitty! Let's go find your owner," she whispered to the cat, gently scooping it up into her arms. She'd been scratched by plenty of cranky barn cats, so she held her as carefully as she could considering the vulnerable state of her arms. She may love cats with all her heart, but she knew better than to trust one not to climb out of her arms the hard way if she wasn't polite enough.
Tesla began wandering down the hallways looking for someone looking for the grey tabby, and turning into a corridor she noticed an older girl. "Hello! Do you know whose cat this is? She was hiding back a ways behind some armor," Tesla called, lifting the cat happily cradled in her arms up a bit to demonstrate.

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting
Entering the library, Bailey found a table and sat down. She was going to sit there, read a little, and then write part of her book she was working on.
Baileys outfit
After reading a few chapters, Bailey pulled out her notebook and got to writing. The words were really flowing, and half and hour later she had written five or six pages, or about two chapters.
Gathering up her books, Bailey headed out of the library and to her dorm in the Ravenclaw tower.
She was walking down the corridor when she heard a voice.
Turning, Bailey saw a first year, holding Twinkle her cat.
how did… why… what?! Bailey thought, before smiling and saying “That’s twinkle… she’s my cat! I dunno how she got out of my dorm. One of the other girls might have left the door open and then Twinkle just slipped out…. Ahh you little mischief maker! Thank you so much for grabbing her. I never would have found her, if it wasn’t for you! My name is Bailey- Bailey Glade! I’m a third year, Ravenclaw. And you are?”
Smiling, Bailey walked over to the other girl as she spoke, a little worry flickering across her face.
I cannot believe Twinkle got out!!! And I hope I didn’t just overwhelm the first year with information and such… i do ramble at times. I need to figure out how to stop that

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting

Tesla smiled with relief at having found the cat's owner so easily. Her eyes sparkled as she learned its name, Twinkle! That's so cute!, and moved to meet the third year halfway.
"I'm so glad I found you! She didn't seem stressed, but I didn't want her wandering around by herself. I wasn't even sure she was actually lost!" Tesla went to hand Twinkle to Bailey and grinned before continuing, "I'm Tesla Stone! You can call me Tes though. I'm a first year and a Hufflepuff! In Hufflepuff that is," Tesla trailed off awkwardly. She could appreciate that at the very least the older student seemed to ramble just the same as she did when she didn't expect to meet someone. "Uh, Twinkle is a very cute name! She's such a pretty cat too! Did you get her in Diagon Alley? I'm saving up to get my own pet now and I'm trying to decide what I want to get. Maybe a rat? I've never owned a rat before!"
Tesla frowned, trying to picture a mental image of the castle, realizing that the Ravenclaw tower was practically on the other side of Hogwarts. "How did she even get all the way down here? She must be a little mischief maker if she made it this far without getting caught," Tesla wondered, giving Twinkle a playfully stern glare.

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting
The other girl smiled, in relief it seems like, probably because she had found Bailey so easily. Bailey smiled back at her, happy to have met someone new.
“Thanks for grabbing her- she does love to explore. She never thinks she lost, and she could probably find her way back to Ravenclaw Tower, but still. I’d be frantic looking for her once I realized she was gone! So you’ve saved me a lot of panic.”
Bailey smiled, her rambling (well.. almost rambling) filling what surely would have been awkward silence otherwise.
“A rat would be cool! I think you should do it!! All of the animals were so cute- and yes I did get it in Diagonal Alley!”
Tesla said something about Twinkle being a mischief maker since she had wandered all the way from Ravenclaw tower. She seemed to have just put two and two together, but bailey didn’t blame her. The castle could be confusing!
“Ay she does like to wander, roam and explore. Back home in Leeds we had some land and she got to explore outside there. I also took her to Poland with me this summer, and we explored all over together, so she’s having to adjust to being in a dorm all day!”

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting
Tesla was relieved Bailey seemed to be so unconcerned about Twinkle going missing or getting lost. Not in an irresponsible way, but rather in a "I know my cat well enough to know she wouldn't get lost forever" kind of way. It was nice to know if she hadn't been there Twinkle would've been fine, even if Bailey ended up stressed until she'd found her way home.
"I'm so excited to get to see how cute they all are! How'd you pick the name Twinkle anyways? I love the name, but she doesn't make me think of a Twinkle when I see her," Tesla asked curiously, thinking of all the things she'd name a cat. Twinkle was a cute name and maybe Tesla was just hungry, but Egg Sandwich (Sammie for short) or maybe even just Bread would be good cat names. On second thought, Twinkle was for the best.
"That's so cool! Do you have any animals other than Twinkle back home? I'm from outside Burford, it's a little tiny town. We've got some horses and some other farm animals, so it's a lot less work to be here but I miss seeing them sometimes. What was Poland like? I've never been, and I've only ever heard that's it's cold in the winters. I don't know what it'd be like in the summers!"
Tesla realized she had a chance to ask some of her questions about Hogwarts only an older student would know. First and most important question was of course, "Is there really a giant squid in the lake?" realizing Bailey seemed nice enough not to pull her leg about it if there was, "And does it really eat first years that try to go swimming in the lake? Also, do classes get a lot harder in second and third year? I'm excited for Care of Magical creatures in third year but I don't know if I'll be too busy to enjoy it!"

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting
Bailey was content, happy, until the thought hit her- What if she thinks I’m an irresponsible pet owner because I let her away?
These worries were sent away when Tesla didn’t seemed concerned for Twinkle.
“I had a cat when I was really little named twinkle, but she passed away so technically this is Twinkle the second. So.. just a memorial or sorts, but it seems to fit her too. Plus, my friend @Colin McCoire calls me “Miss Sunshine” so twinkle goes with that I feel like. All of the cats were super cute and so we’re all of the other animals.”
Smiling, Bailey continued, answering Teslas other questions.
“We have some farm animals and some other family animals. I defiantly miss them too- but I’m glad I have Twinkle!
Poland was a lot of fun- I got to eat a lot of food and visit a lot of distant family. It was great!! The weather was really nice, quite mild and great for summer dresses and Breezy clothes, which I loved!!! And I explored, with Twinkle or my brothers. Do you have any siblings? And where do you live- In England? I live in Leeds when I’m not here or Poland.”

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting
Tesla nodded along eagerly, listening to Bailey's explanation of Twinkle the second's name. "I think it's a great name for a cat! I'm sorry about the first Twinkle, but I'm sure she's happy to know you still remember her and have found another great cat you love, even if she likes to wander around a bit, Tesla lit up at the mention of Colin and all the other animals after the slightly somber backstory of Twinkle's name, "Oh! I know Colin! He's certainly a lot of fun to be around. I love animals so much it's super hard to go into pet stores knowing I can't take all of them home, but they always look so happy I don't feel that bad."
"I live in England right outside a really little town called Burford. It's just me and my two mums, but we've got some farm animals and family animals too on our land! I get in trouble a lot for chasing the chickens and sheep with our golden retriever, but it's really nice to have so many pets around. I think it'd be super cool to visit Poland, it sounds so nice there. How many siblings do you have? Is it just brothers? I always thought it'd be nice to have siblings, but my family is still super close so it's not like I'm lonely or anything."
Tesla thought for a second, glancing around the corridor around her. "What's it like here at Hogwarts after first year? It's kind of overwhelming now, but I've heard some of the classes can be really fun in the future"

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting
@Tesla StoneSmiling sadly, Bailey said “me too- I miss her, but now I have Twinkle here, so that’s ok! Though … her wandering spirit might become a bit of trouble in the butter, but I’ll figure it out.”
Bailey was still a little down, after remembering Twinkle first, but she lit up just like Tesla did, with the mention of Colin.
“Colin is a lot of fun- he’s one of my closest friends- probably the closest besides Kim. And I have the same problem! I want to get all the animals, it’s hard to just pick one!”
Smiling at that, Bailey realized that Tesla only lived about three or four hours, by car, away from her.
“I think Burford is only like 3 or 4 hours away from Leeds, by car at least.
And Poland is amazing, so nice outside and you barely need Air conditioning. everyone is so nice! And they all feed you everything they know how to make- it amazing- I ate so much!
I have three younger brothers- yep just boys. It’s a lot sometimes but I love them and would do practically anything for them.”
Smiling at Tesla’s next question bailey said “It’s a lot of fun! A lot of work, but any school is like this. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to get through it, but some days you’re like ‘there’s no way I’m going to be able to do this’ but then you do and it feels just amazing!”

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting

Reducio
Thanks for roleplaying with me! Are you ready to wrap this up in a post or two?
Tesla nodded along, laughing as she thought of Colin. "Hopefully Twinkle will stop wandering so much once she gets older! I hope to get closer with Colin in the future. We've met a couple times, and we have a lot in common," Tesla thought back to how she met the fellow wolf running around and his invitation to go hunting, "He certainly is something. When we met he was running around jumping in the lake and hunting with his pet owl! Who's Kim?" Tesla thought of her own friends she'd met at Hogwarts so far, "I think the person I'd consider the closest to my best friend here is Isadora! She's next to me in the dorm, so we've gotten pretty close. She can be really shy though..."
Tesla tried to picture a map in her head, nodding along, "You're right! I didn't know we were so close to each other! My family doesn't leave town all that often, but maybe I'll send you an owl if we ever pass through Leeds." Tesla tried to imagine three younger brothers that looked like Bailey, "That's a lot of brothers! I bet they're trouble!"
Tesla's eyes sparkled, thinking of future years to come, "It sounds like you really enjoy classes here! I hope I don't get that stressed this year at the very least, but it does sound satisfying. What's your favorite class? I'm super duper excited to get to take care of magical creatures in third year!"

Twinkle and a Chance Meeting
@Kim Sato@Tesla Stone
Tesla laughed at the mention of Colin, and Bailey joined her, chuckling.
“Hopefully!! I think she might have learned part of her adventurous spirit from @Colin McCoire. Wherever I see him it seems like he’s been up for hours exploring. I don’t know how he keeps up with all of his work and such. I love that about him- he’s definitely one of my closest friends!” bailey smiled, as she always did at the mention of her friend.
When Tesla asked who Kim was Bailey was slightly shocked. Kim seemed to know everyone, as did she. Though, this was her first time meeting Tesla so it was possible that Kim hadn’t encountered her either.
“Kim- he’s my best friend! I met him last year. If you join any clubs you’ll probably see one or both of us- we just happen to be in almost ever club together- though we usually join separately. He’s also know as the Prince of Sweets- we both usually have food on us, unsurprisingly. We both love cooking and baking!”
“We do live close! Same, if I’m headed your way I’ll owl you and maybe we can meet up for lunch or something!”
Smiling at the mentioned of her brothers, Bailey said “They can be a handful, but we get along decently well!”
“I do love classes/ a true Ravenclaw. All Of them are super fun and all of the teachers and staff are great! I’m sure you’ll enjoy the classes! My favorite is probably History of Magic. Do you have a favorite class yet? Have you started class?”
