Persephone was somewhere she probably shouldn’t be, she had to admit that. She didn’t think it was too bad but she was sure her sisters would look at her oddly if they knew where she was. The Third Floor was one of the best places she could take Teddy, her adorable brown rat, and not have to worry about him running away so far that she didn’t know where he was. He was a good pet but he needed to run free sometimes. It was good exercise for him and if anything she wanted to make sure that he got good exercise in. So there was was, laying down in one of the corridors where classes weren’t being currently held. Teddy was relaxing on her chest until she would feed him a treat and he would run around the expanse of her torso. The ground was a little hard but she’d cleaned it before she laid down so at the very least it wasn’t dirty. With school being back in session, she had a lot less free time to play with Teddy so she cherished moments like this, being able to play with him like this. She felt the small rat sniffing at her chin then and she giggled as his whiskers tickled her face. "Okay, okay. Don’t worry I’ve got plenty of treats for you," she said laughed before taking one out of her pocket, careful not to move too much as to make him fall. Once she handed him the treat, she felt him run down her leg closer to her foot. Slowly, she lifted herself up so that she could watch him before the sound of footsteps touched her ears.

Anastasia had just left the Charms classroom. She hadn’t had the class today, instead she’d been taking advantage of the classroom while classes weren't in session to practice one of the spells she’d been struggling with. As much as she wished she could get someone else to learn this spell for her (such as Tommy) you couldn’t actually cheat on wandwork. So while he might be helping her with actual homework she was on her own when it came to the spells. And she didn’t need, nor want, anyone else to know she needed help. So, knowing most students stayed clear of classrooms that were currently used when class wasn’t in session the Charms room was the best place to get some extra practice.

Now though, she was heading down to meet up with a few of her friends for lunch, but stopped when she heard someone speaking, their voice carrying down the corridor. Curious of what someone else might be doing up here, she followed the sound, and soon found herself just down the hall from one of the blonde Bainbridges, sitting on the ground with a rat scurrying about. ”If you’re not careful a cat might show up and eat that.”

Seph went back and forth between look down the hallway to see who was coming and watching Teddy to make sure he didn’t run of too far. She got momentarily distracted by the rat’s cuteness. Her eyes traveled with him as he ran down her foot and then followed the lines of her leg up to the pocket that contained the treats. She laughed and pulled one out before she registered that the person that had been walking had finally gotten close enough for her to see. Her gaze focused on the visage of Anastasia MacFusty, someone she didn’t know that well. They had one or two classes together, sure, but she didn’t know her very well. Honestly she tended to come off a bit…. Mean. She couldn’t be like that all of the time though, right? Seph gave a small smile and nodded. "Thank you for worrying about him. Teddy’s pretty fast though so I don’t know if a cat would be able to catch him. Plus, I’m here so I can protect him from any cats." Seph picked him up then, having a little bit of trouble because he was halfway in her pocket by then, before she cuddled him against her chest. "Are you headed off to class?" she took a minute to stand up before facing the Slytherin girl and smiling once again, Seph always tried to friendly, no matter what, simply because didn’t know how to be anything else but friendly. On the inside though, she was crossing her metaphorical fingers that Anastasia would be friendly too.

Anastasia wasn’t sure which Bainbridge this one was. They were all blonde, all Hufflepuff, all annoying. Nothing really special about them or really... memorable. The only thing that really set the blondes apart was the fact they were triplets.

So, eyebrow raised, Anastasia watched the rat scurry around and up onto the Hufflepuff. ”It was a fact, not worry.” Anastasia quickly snapped, ”Why would I be worried about your rat?’ Anastasia, despite her snippy response, did love creatures, magical and non magical. But like she’d admit it! Having been raised on a Dragon reserve, she had a natural affinity for creatures, as often time the animals she found had been her only friends growing up. Now a days though, she had a very thick shield up, masking who she was and ashamed of that person. ”Oh yes, I’m heading to class by walking in the opposite direction.” was her sarcastic comment, her eyes rolling as she planted a hand on her hip.

Okay… So no, maybe she wasn’t being particularly nice now. Maybe she just wasn’t in the mood for niceness? That seemed silly to Seph considering it took no effort at all from her for her to be nice to people. She liked being nice, she liked giving compliments. She liked seeing people smile. She didn’t really understand why everyone else wasn’t like that because it made her feel so good. Sephy sat quietly for a moment, not because she was ignoring anything that the Slytherin girl was saying, it was because she couldn’t really think of anything to say. She could try being nice still? "Well, even if that isn’t what you meant, it sounded like you were worried so I will be more careful with him," the blonde gave a nod and a smile towards Anastasia, still cuddling the Teddy close to her chest before he began tickling her hand with his nose. She paused in her speaking once again to listen to the girl’s abrasive musings and Sephy frowned just a bit, pursing her lips out with a slight look of confusion on her face. "I mean… I don’t even know what classes you have so I wouldn’t be able to be certain if you were walking away from class or towards it..." It depended on the class really. The Charms class was nearby. They weren’t that far from the steps either so, really it could be either one of those things.
