Thank goodness for Oakey. Seriously otherwise the possibility of Ness screeching would have been much higher because that's what she did when she freaked out, got mad...really whenever she was confused with her emotions. She couldn't do that anymore though, she needed to take charge and deal with things better and of course that was easier with a friend than alone.

Pink. Pink bright coloured sofas were what met Nessie's eyes as they reached the Headmistresses office. So apparently broke school's could keep pink coloured unessecary furniture, but make their kid's pay an entrance fee to get inside their common rooms. Tooooottaaly fair....not.

Caalm though, she needed to stay calm. Breathe in and then one out. This would all be fine.

Both Alice and the Ravenclaw with her each got nods. Next Nessie followed Oakey and plonked on the couch only to get up again at the sight of her Headmistress. She bit her lip looked to see if the others wanted to talk first and decided it was best to just blurt things out, before a change of mind. "Sorry to bother you, Headmistress and I don't mean any offence..." Because politeness was still important. "I ..we just decided to come here because this whole paying thing to get inside our common rooms, it's not really fair on us. I mean I get that for some reason the school's all changed now, but it's just most of us are kids Professor...we can't pay." It wasn't about the money for Ness though, she was more concerned about the fairness of it, thus she itched to comment on the couches but knew that wasn't a good idea.

So um..Truebridge wouldn't get mad at them for being here about this, yeah? Merlin, this whole thing. Deep breathes, deep breathes, that's what she needed.
