The Yule Ball

Sonia led him inside. Blushing she bent down to pick up a black tabby. "Anyways, um, what would you like?" she asks blushig.

"Just tea, thank you." Elrohir replied, looking closely at the tabby. Seemed almost like he'd seen it before, but he couldn't figure out where..

The tabby meowed and walked over to Elrohir as Sonia informed there butler what to bring them.

Elrohir scratched the cat behind the ears, still wondering why it looked so familiar. "Nice cat." he said conversationaly

Sonia turned and smiled. "Yeah, she is." she says. "For now."

"For now?" Elrohir reapeated. "What do you mean?"

Sonia laughed softly. "Tha's my 'nurse' ." she says.

Elrohir slowly withdrew his hand from the cat. "Ah...I see. And will my presence disturb her?"

"No." Sonia says. "right, Beatrice?"

The cat purred and uzzled Elrohir to pat her.

Elrohir laughed and obliged Beatrice with more scratching. "pleasure to meet you, Beatrice."

The cat purred again and smiled thankfully at Elrohir.

"Descartes won't mind that I'm here, will he?"

"Of course not." Sonia says as their butler came in carrying the two's drink on a silver tray. He stopped at Elrohir first before turning to Sonia. "Thank you." she tells the slightly balding red headed man.

Elrohir took his tea and thanked the butler.

The butler bowed and left.

Sonia turned to Elrohir. "DO you like it?"

Elrohir sipped his tea and nodded. "So, what house were you in at Hogwarts?"

"Ravenclaw. (I think 😑 )"

"Maik and I got in Gryffindor." Elrohir said. making conversation had never been his strongpoint.

"Descartes had Slytherin." Sonia said. "I hope that won't bother Maik."

Elrohir shrugged. "Probably not, considering the circumstances."
