Selina trekked her way up to the Common Room for the first time this term aimlessly muching on some stolen bacon on her way up. The redhead wasn't exactly sure if they were allowed to take food from the feasts up to their dorms- something about vermin control or some nonsense- but Selina had never observed that rule so she wasn't about to start now. Besides, a little bacon never hurt anyone and she was hungry. Or if it did people were going to have to deal. Bacon was, in a word, delicious.

As she munched and contemplated the rules in some ruddy old handbook that she had no doubt tossed away early in her Hogwarts career, she found herself suddenly in front of the fat lady. Uttering the LATIN PASSWORD, which just about made her day, she ducked her head and entered the familiar red and gold common room. Merlin, how she had missed this place, but she was not in the mood to be nostalgic. She was on a mission, a mission that consisted of hitting the morning rush before she went to bed.

It was rather early in terms of bed time for the first night back at school. Most students wouldn't be back in their dorms for quite some time, as they would be catching up with their friends and such. People wouldn't start to drift into the Common Room for at least another hour or so. But Selina decided instead to use this time wisely and reload up on posters for Mortimer. She needed to find her bat before Quidditch season... and as soon as possible because a Mommy needs her baby. It was a cruel fate that was handed to her about her bat. So she was planning to head to the dorms, grab more posters, hang them up, so that when people awoke the next morning for the early birds and whatnot, they were already hanging up so people would be aware. Because she was being sort of descreet about it now.

THAT was her plan. She needed to hand out more posters, but once she got upstairs she noticed a strange site. There, as a lump underneath their covers, was a person already back in the dorms. Who in their right minds would already be back? That was just silly. They should be out with their friends....

She approached the form and noticed that long tresses of brunette hair were peaking out from underneath the blanket. Only one person had hair like that- Penelope. And by the way that she was laying down, she seemed rather upset. Her blue eyes flickered down to her posters that needed reloading and she decided. Penelope was more important right now- the ickle lion looked like she needed someone to talk to. So she set down her posters, but not her bacon, and then settled herself on the edge of Penelope's bed. Resting a hand on top of the blanket's Selina asked, "Hey Penelope, sweety? Are you okay?"
