Still sulking childishly over the fact that the elves were cleaning his dirty clothes, Kieran sat in his own little world. "It's not fair," Kieran exclaimed loudly to himself. It happened from time to another that the hyper Gryffindor lad just randomly said something out loud, out of the blue. It had also happened during his lessons, which of course had ticked the teacher off, deduction house points.

However, as Kieran heard the sound of someone approaching him he had to look up to spot a big black dog. His eyes widened at its size. Kieran stared at the mightily beast, his jaw slightly open. He glanced at the cat following the dog and a small amused smile couldn't help but to creep on his lips, spite the little worried feeling in the back of his head (the dog was after all rather huge).

"Aren't you a lovely couple?" Kieran asked the dog seconds before it without warning leaped at Kieran. Letting out a small scream (hehe, like a girl) Kieran closed his eyes and put his hands up, as if to protect himself. "Bwaah! Sorry! I didn't mean it like that! Pleeease don't kill me!" the small Gryffindor lad cried.

However, nothing happened. And it hit Kieran that if the dog really had intended to attack him, he wouldn't have been able to say all that, and neither would a pair of un-muscular arms protect him. Opening his eyes, Kieran blinked as the saw the (now he spotted dirty) dog scratch on the door as if he wanted to get it.

Awwooo! Kieran jumped slightly by the dogs sudden sound. He stared wide eyed at the dog, blinking slightly. His face was most likely priceless. The reality seemed to go back into real life for Kieran as his usual cheerful grin crept on his lips. The poor boy wouldn't be able to recognize danger even if it had been right up in his face.

"Is it in there you wanna go?" Kieran asked the dog. Kieran loved them all, human or dogs, it didn't matter. Kieran crossed his arms again, shaking his head. "These house elves are stupid and won't allow you to clean yourself, they'll wait for tonight when you're sleeping!" Kieran said, putting pressure on the last words, hoping the house elves would hear him. He pushed the dog (at least he tried) slightly away so he could stand up and turned to the door. He knocked loudly on the door, giving side glances at the tall dog reaching his waist. "Open up!" he yelled at the house elves.

Kieran kept on banging loudly on the door, hoping it would magically open itself. "Bwaah! Open up!" he said, kicking the door childishly. And just as he did, the door opened up quickly forward, making Kieran lose his balance and tumble backward.

"Stop interrupting us!" a small angry eyed house elf said. Kieran blinked before pointing at the sitting dog.
"But, he needs a bath," he said.
"Take him to the beastary then," the house elf said, shutting the door shut. Kieran blinked. He turned to the dog and blinked again. "You know, I could wash you myself... but I'm not that good," Kieran said grinning. "My cat Noah, and she's a girl by the way, donno why I called her Noah, but she hates to take baths.... but perhaps it's because she's a cat. When I come to think of it, she's an awfully over-protective cat. She's always hissing at the sight of girls, and even some guys, but I still love her. You haven't seen her around, have you? She's grey and looks like a living bush," Kieran said thoughtfully, putting a finger on his lips to look more thoughtful.

Shrugging, Kieran crawled over to the left side of the door and leaned his back against the wall. He let out a small sigh before looking at the big black dog with his clear blue eyes. "You know what,Mr. Dog, did you know that I have a theory that you can actually understand me but just pretends not to. Of course, if you didn't understand me, then I would more or less be talking to myself, which is fine by the way, but it would all still be fun," Kieran said thoughtful, removing his gaze form the dog as he spoke. However, he quickly gazed upon the dog again.

"You know what else, you look awfully familiar. Perhaps I had a dream about you," Kieran grinned, continuing to babble to the dog. And even if the dog hadn't listened, he'd still be talking out loud. "Or perhaps I've seen you around somewhere else. In a book? Are you famous Mr. Dog. Oh! Yeah! I remember, the grim thing," Kieran said looked wide eyed at the dog. "Which would mean you were to be an omen of death, wow, isn't that cool!" Kieran said grinning wildly. He looked up at the ceiling, still not seeing if the dog was listening or not.

"Hum, perhaps if we sit here long enough, they HAVE to eventually wash you," Kieran said out loud. "I wonder if you understand me. I wish I could speak dog-ish," Kieran grinned looking at the dog.

"Hey, easy there boy," Kieran said as the dog leaned up against his shoulder. Kieran grinned as he rubbed the boy behind his ear. "On second thought, I doubt you're one of those weird death grims or whatever, I bet it's a cousin of yours or something," Kieran said, burying his hand in the dogs fur. "You're too nice," Kieran said shrugging his shoulders.

Kieran didn't mind that he was getting dirty as well, but when he looked at his hands, he frowned before smiling again. "I guess we'll just have to wash ourself. I hope you don't mind. Honestly, I hope you're not one of those dogs who bites or growls if being washed. You see I remember me and Karen used to go visit her friend (or I would more or less demand being taken with her) but then we always had sot wash this dog, and he hated it," Kieran said rambling on. Kieran was the type of guy who was very easily distracted from what he was originally set to do, like washing the dog.

Like a bubble burst over his head, Kieran returned to reality, a rare occasion that was (that he manged to do it all by himself). "So, wanna take a bath? I could just water your right here!" Kieren grinned, hopping up to his feet. "Since SOMEONE won't help us!" Kieran yelled into the door where the house-eleves still hadn't made any sounds from.
