Anna's nickname was genius, how could it have not been? Besides she was just as pretty as a Princess (so she told herself) and apparently if you asked multiple people she was often with Logan so... it seemed a natural assumption to make. She smiled at his laugh, giving a small shrug. "It was attempt one, i'll make it better." Somehow. But that seemed like a solution she could come up with in time. "None of us need your ego to take that much of a growth spurt on." So.. no, workshopping it would be.

It was definitely a sibling thing, because if she thought about it from her end she also had a lot more patience for majority of her friends than she did for Vasco. But not because he was loud or anything similar to his plight with her, but others could be quiet and aloof and not get harassed about it the same way she did to her twin. But she also knew when it came to loyalty, Vasco would get the most from her. As she knew would also be vice versa. "I don't know why. Your sisters are delights!" She had a favorite, Bryony for sure, but she'd also certainly tried to both the older two at times with questions when Hadleigh was not available. One had to make do on certain things when a mom was not available to ask questions. "I think if he tried he'd actually surprise us all with a hidden talent. Best of luck to you though for getting him to try." It would be fun to see them play in a band together if he did attempt though.

She had been teasing, but the question of did she do something to her brain was similar to her own thoughts considering how... weird she currently felt. So him suggesting it as well had her eyes go WIDE. "Is that a possibility!?" Merlin, she hoped not. She was only 15!! Too young to die from a very dumb mistake!!

He didn't give her time to reach panic mode, however, considering he was telling her to get a move on and a low rumble in her stomach told her she should probably listen this time around. "Okay, okay! I'm coming!" and she moved her legs a litttttle faster, while he simultaneously seemed to actually slow down. She beamed in his direction, shaking her sleeve from his grip as she went through the portrait first. "Thank you! Make sure to keep up too slow poke!" She called, before picking up her pace even more so she could run down the hallway and beat him to the passage entrance (if she could find it).

Sorry, not sorry Loogie.

"Thinking, hmm? Are you sure you don't mean plotting?" The woman joked lightly walking over to sit herself on the arm of the chair Nadia was sitting in. She had caught that little slip up but wasn't going to make a fuss of it. Kids would be kids after all, yes? And she was keeping an eye on them all without ruining too much of their fun. She remembered very well what it was like to be young.

The presence of family in her home away from home always made her smile. Even Raj the previous year when she wondered if he would be too protective of them under his wing. If only Nadia could bring her twin into the Gryffindor Common Room…or Dy could bring her into the Hufflepuff. But alas, they could only swap stories about them…and share the rest of the castle.

“Maybe…plotting on the best order to complete the homework I have.” Like it was really a lot that she needed to be organizing it in order of priority, but it fit with the choice of words to use. Even if she wasn’t concerned about her aunt being concerned about her and any plans of another sort rolling around in her little head. She could certainly tease back like the rest of the family.

It would be safe to say that Hady felt the very same way. Hogwarts had been a home to her many years ago as a student and now it was like that once again but only she was a professor here. Familiar faces always lifted her heart and her spirit but then again many things did that. She was a woman with many interests and getting to share one of them with the students here was wonderful.

"Ah, I see. Well should you become stuck on any of that homework or need a short break you're always welcome to come visit me out in my office." Or wherever else she might happen to be at the time. "Would you be interested in some assistance in figuring out how to work on those assignments?" Sometimes a little break was all one really needed to get their head back in the game and really focus on a task at hand. "Have you started working on any of them yet?"

Much of the nickname Logan was fine with. There were certain descriptors he wouldn't disagree with, at least internally. But the house elf part, he thought, needed some tweaking. While he didn't necessarily mind the Hufflepuff calling him that, he refused to believe that he was devoted and loyal to Princess Vera. Perhaps she could take care of that while he figured out this medal thing. "Right. Because my ego is big enough," he replied with a snort. "Would hate to have this pretty head of mine inflate and pop."

On the topic of siblings, an eye roll occurred. She would, of course, think that his sisters were all delightful. Yes, they were sometimes fun. Sometimes being the keyword there, when they weren't screaming or annoying him. "Feel free to take any of them then." And he would take Vasco, who was basically like a brother he never had. "I know right? Imagine the untapped potential that is there. I'm sure I'll persuade him eventually." Or the Ravenclaw would just get tired of being pestered about it all the time and cave in.

He had been teasing too, though he did have to admit that he did notice her eyes widen at the idea of the spell causing some unwanted aftereffects. "With magic, anything is possible," he replied, his tone serious. But seconds later he broke into a chuckle. "I'm sure you're fine." She still seemed very Vera to him.

Now they were en route, slowly but surely. Logan hadn't realized that he was still holding onto her sleeve until he felt her shake herself from his grasp and go through the hole. His eyes rolled when she suddenly started making her way in the direction of the passage.

He followed after her, his eyes taking in the view as he strolled down the corridor, easily catching up to her thanks to those long legs of his.

Because it was raining, Finn could be found taking his study break in the common room, rather than outside. He hadn't been able to get comfortable on any of the sofas or beanbag chairs, though, so he ended up sprawled on the floor near the fireplace. It was a near comical sight, given how long his legs were now, but he did his best to stay out of the way. He didn't want to trip anyone, accidentally or on purpose.

He hadn't wanted to read, hadn't wanted to get out his Gobstones set, and didn't feel tired enough to nap, so instead he had his notepad with him and was doodling. He'd already filled an entire page with scribbles, and was trying to get the shape of the fireplace right. (So far, his doodles of the fireplace were unrecognizable.) A small frown creased his forehead, but he was more focused than any other feeling.

After spending hours at the library, matilda finally made her back to the common room. She was fatigued beyond measure. There was just so much studying to do.. which didn't leave enough time for what she really wanted to do. Paint.

On spotting her brother, she dumped her bag on an empty sofa and quietly sat next to with a little smile on her face.

"Hi."

Callie came rolling through the painting to sit around in the common room. She had been studying so hard and all she wanted was to relax. But it never seemed like there was enough time. it was very frustrating. How did her sister manage this ever? And the third war too... She digressed. Glancing up from her notebook she noticed two older students, she let a little squeak out before moving to one of the comfy chairs near them yet far enough away. She was young compared to them, right? Or was she just being self conscious?

Finn looked up as someone sat on the sofa. Seeing who it was, he grinned up at her. "Hi, Tilda," he said. "Where are you coming from?"

His eyes darted toward some chairs where he thought he had heard a squeak. Surely there couldn't be a mouse in the common room, given the number of pet cats running about. When he spotted a little student instead, he returned his attention to his sister.

He held up his (incredibly terrible) sketch. "What do you think, am I as good an artist as you?"
