Jessica practically leaped out of bed early one morning and ran to the window. Just as she had hoped the snow was gone and the sun was out. She didn't like winter to much because she didn't care for snow. She skipped happily to her dresser and looked for the perfect shirt. She picked out a light green shirt that had a dark green tank built in. She loved this shirt so much because it made her beautiful eyes look a little bigger. After she picked out her shirt she skipped over to her closet singing her favorite muggle song Photograph. When she opened her closet she picked out a pair of cute light blue faded hip-hugger. Walking into the bathroom she quickly undressed from her pj's. (She was wearing pink pajamas that had a whole bunch of blue and purple stars on it) and slipped on the clothes she picked out. walking over to the sink she pulled out her tooth brush and quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face. Now what should I do with my hair today she thought. I am tired of keeping it down again she thought to her herself. She quickly decided that she would put her long blonde hair into a messy bun. After she was done with her hair she walked out of the bathroom grabbed her make up and walked over to a mirror. She put a little bit of black eye-liner under her eye-lids and then put on a little really light green eyeshadow. She then put on some glossy light pink lip-gloss and a dab of brown mascara. Happy with her looks she quickly put her make up bag back in her top drawer and headed over to her bed.
Gently she picked up her little kitten smoky and set her on her dresser still asleep her kitten didn't seem to notice. She then made her bed and picked up her dirty laundry. her roommates were complain that she was too sloppy so she decided to pick up all her stuff. After her room was clean she gently picked up her kitten and set her back down on the bed but this time she woke up. Opening her giant blue eyes she looked at Jessica and meowed a couple times then pulled herself back into a ball and went to sleep. Quickly slipping on her shoes she headed down the stairs and into the common room just as she reached the port hole a couple of people walked in and sat down. Not really wanting to talk to them Jessica quickly exited the common room and headed to the great hall but when she was almost there she decided she would rather go outside and enjoy the beautiful day because it would probably be cold again tomorrow. so she skipped to the big doors that led to outside opened them and skipped outside. She new she probably looked really stupid right now skipping around outside without a jacket but she didn't feel like walking back and getting hers so she continued skipping to a tree near the still half frozen lake and sat down by the tree and started to hum the song Photograph again. She always hummed when she was in a good mood. She loved to sing and it did help she had a pretty decent voice but she didn't really sing when anyone was around. Pulled out of her thought she was startled when something leaped on her lap quickly looking down she saw it was only her kitten Smokey. Now how in the world did you get out here she said puzzled. As if in response Smokey blinked her big blue eyes and meowed curling up back into a ball she went to sleep on her lap. Leaning back up against the tree Jessica started to unconsciously hum to herself as her thoughts strand from one subject to the next.

Landon's head pounded uncontrollably. He had just sat through a long class of History of Magic that started very early that morning. He hated waking up early for classes, and especially this one. The rest of his day however was not as busy, as he only had one other class just after lunch time. His mind was set on going back to his bed where he could curl up and fall back to sleep, but these plans changed unintentionally.
Landon was just about to enter the Hufflepuff common room when he spotted a flash of black and white fly by his feet. Turning his head, he saw a small kitten leaping around the room. It appeared to be chasing something, but what, he was unsure. Possibly, the cat was chasing a stray mouse, but regardless it didn't seem to have a set destination. Landon watched the cat, amused, as it continued it's little charade playing 'cat and mouse.' Just as he was about to leave the cat alone, he noticed it get awfully close to a nearby door. Deciding that it may be the wise thing to catch the cat and attempt to return it to its owner, he reluctantly chased after it.
To no avail, the cat raced through the castle, and managed to escape through the front door as it was opened by a student. Letting out a heavy sigh, Landon continued after the cat, knowing that by now he might as well finish what he had started. If he was lucky, he would still have enough time to nap after catching the kitten.
Still following the much too active cat, Landon watched it disappear behind a tree. Getting a closer look, Landon thought he noticed someone sitting under the tree. He walked up to the student which he didn't recognize, and by this point he was a little short of breath. "Is that your cat?" he questioned, pointing to the kitten who sat happily on the girl's lap. Landon continued breathing heavy as he waited to see if the girl could help him find the cat's rightful owner assuming that she might not be.

Jessica still couldn't stop wondering how her little black and white kitten had gotten all the way outside. She usually always stayed in the common room yes, once in a while she would go down into the dungeons to play with the little mice that ran around but that was very rare. The only way She could think of her kitten getting outside was as someone was coming in she must of ran out but most of her friends new that if her kitten had run at to go find her and return her to the common room. Shaking her head slightly she continued to think over ways the cat could have gotten out.
She didn't have too long to ponder on this thought though, as a boy that looked a year or too older ran up to her out of breath looked at the cat in her lap and said in between breaths is that your cat? Jessica said with a sweet smile yes she is then warily said why what has she done? Scooting over a little so this boy could sit down since he looked like he had just run a marathon Jessica thought of everything her little kitten could have done and hoped that she hadn't caused too much trouble. Jessica turned back to the boy waiting patiently for an answer absent mindedly tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear.
((((Sorry it is so short))))

"Oh she hasn't done nothing much too terrible," Landon joked. "I just noticed her running around the castle, and I would have left her to her business until she escaped out the front door. I figured then that I should at least attempt to catch her and return her to her rightful owner. She seemed to have found you though," he added. Taking a seat against the tree, Landon was relieved to be able to rest. "My name is Landon," he explained, not wanting to be rude. He wasn't exactly in the mood for chatting, but he also didn't feel like getting up and walking back to the castle. For now, he was enjoying his time of rest. Plus, the weather was actually somewhat nice for a winter day. Placing his hands behind his head, he leaned back and closed his eyes. Thinking of how nice it would be to just fall asleep right there, he knew it would also be quite impolite. Reluctantly, he opened his eyes and looked back at the girl, expecting her to introduce herself in return. ((That's ok... mine is short too  )) |

Jessica was very relieved when the boy said Oh she hasn't done nothing much too terrible, I just noticed her running around the castle, and I would have left her to her business until she escaped out the front door. I figured then that I should at least attempt to catch her and return her to her rightful owner. She seemed to have found you though. Jessica imagined her little kitten running around the castle going bananas and this thought really had her going its one thing to try and hold in a giggle but it's another to try and hold in a laugh which was exactly what she was doing. After getting herself under control Jessica looked back at the bay as he sat down saying, my name is Landon. She watched as he rested his head against the tree as though he had just got home from a week of labor working.
As the boy looked back at her and she said "I'm Jessica Rose Gryffindor third year". She did not want to talk to him when he was not paying an attain because she new she would look like a fool. Her little black and white kitten Smokey out of the blue jumped off her lap walked over to the boy named Landon and jumped on his lap. Jessica couldn't help but smile, her little kitten wasn't really what you call clingy to people the only person's lap she usually sat on were hers and her old best friend Sara's. Still smiling Jessica said to the boy "Well, it looks like someone has taken a liking to you". Shaking her head Jessica turned back to looking at the still half frozen lake and thought about the first time she had gotten her kitten. When she had first bought her Smokey wouldn't go near anyone not even her. She would hide underneath her bed all day and only come out to eat and use the bathroom. Pulling her head out of the clouds Jessica looked back at the boy and asked "so...do you have any pets"

The girl introduced herself just as her cat leaped into his lap. "Hi Jessica," he said with a laugh, petting the kitten on the head. "I guess you're right," he agreed, "your kitten here must like me." Landon wasn't really a fan of cats, but he could tolerate them at least. He had the impression that most cats were sneaky and sly, but he was sure that there were exceptions. Until he had a reason to dislike Jessica's cat, he figured he would be okay with it sitting in his lap.
"I do have a couple pets," Landon responded to her question. "My barn owl Miah lives here at Hogwarts, and I also have a Chocolate Labrador puppy who lives at home with my aunt and uncle. His name is Samson," he explained. "I like animals, but I wouldn't consider myself an animal lover," he informed Jessica. Landon found them entertaining when they were around, but animals were something he knew he would have no trouble living without. "What's this little kitten's name, anyways?" Landon asked, attempting to be interested in the hyper ball of fur resting happily on his lap.
The sun peeked out from behind a cloud and cast a warm ray across Landon's face. Looking up, squinting, Landon smiled. He loved the sunshine, and on a day like this, it added the perfect touch to being outside. The thoughts of being asleep in his bed suddenly seemed less appealing when compared to being able to relax under a tree, taking in breaths of fresh air. Again, Landon almost drifted off but was reminded of Jessica's presence. Turning to her, he gave a small yawn and apologized, "Sorry about that. I'm a bit sleepy if you didn't notice."

Jessica laughed slightly at the boy named Landon comment and listened as he explained that he had a barn owl named Miah and a Chocolate Labrador. She had always wanted a puppy, ever since she was six but her parents had always said she wasn't responsible enough and her aunt was allergic to dogs so she never was able to have one. Looking back at Landon Jessica said answering his question "Oh, her name is Smokey I now it's a silly name but my aunt called her that a week after we got her and now she won't respond to anything else".
Jessica could remember the day her aunt had called her after school saying she was sorry but she named her little kitten for her. She was kind of mad but wasn't too upset she just didn't like the name. When she arrived home she walked up to her kitten and tried to have her answer to something else but nothing worked. Jessica was pulled from her thoughts though when the boy named Landon apologized for dozing off. Jessica couldn't help it this time she busted out laughing. In between laughs Jessica sputtered out "I'm sorry I don't want to seem rude but that is too funny how long did you run?" Absentmindedly twirling a piece of her long brown hair Jessica waited patiently for a response.
(sorry it is lame but I am under some restraints)

"Interesting story," Landon commented about the events concerning the naming of Jessica's cat. "It's too bad you weren't able to name her yourself." Landon felt a little embarrassed when Jessica began laughing at his obvious exhaustion. His face reddened a little. "Well I really didn't run that far," he admitted, "but I'm tired more so because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, and then had to wake up early for class this morning. Between the two, they don't make a good mix for keeping me awake," he finished.
Giving in to his lack of energy, he moved from leaning against the tree to laying down on the ground with his knees up and bent. "So if I fall asleep on you, I apologize," he said jokingly but serious in a way as he knew it was quite possible that he could fall asleep at any time.
Landon looked up at the sky and studied the clouds. They were rather large and puffy which indicated that they may be getting another snow, or even a rain shower since the temperature was warming up nicely. At least the rain would melt the remaining snow, Landon thought optimistically. "So Jessica," he said, turning his attention back to the girl and her cat, "what are we going to do now?" he asked. "I'm putting the responsibility on you to keep me active or else I will surely fall asleep," he said with a grin.
