Questions, questions.

Yawning, he shrugged a shoulder. "I guess we have to pay to get into our common room now."



Thankfully, that was when Ira showed up. Jake turned to face his fellow prefect and crossed the space over to her (taking Anya with him), a frown furrowing between his eyebrows.

"Some of them don't have any money on them. We can't just stay out here... can we?" He kept his voice calm, but he hoped nobody else could hear him. He didn't like being so obviously unprepared and un-leader-like. But... at least Ira clearly didn't know what was going on, either. So that made Jake look a little more responsible. Right?
Anya thought about it. "I'm going to try it." she said with a nod. "Worst case scenario, I break it. And that's not so bad... right?" She wasn't sure how much they cost... but... yeah. It should be fine.

Besides, magic things practically fixed themselves.

Ohh... and they were moving. She gave a small wave to the female Prefect.

"You think it'll let me pay for everyone tonight...? I mean... we're all tired. We could sort it out in the morning, right?" And being out a galleon to get everyone to stop freaking out seemed like a fair trade.

Bet she didn't have to pay to get to her office. Hmph!

"I don't know really see the point of it but it's here to take your knuts. We can't get in unless we pay so maybe another desperate attempt to get money.' Because selling all the nice things wasn't enough, apparently.
Anya shrugged. "Because I'm tired. And want to sleep. And if I'm sleeping in the hall, I'd like to be the only one doing it." Eww. Just. Why would she share a hallway with people.

"I'm sure if I pay a galleon it would let that many people in... or let me in the 400 some times." She didn't want to think of the exact number.

She shrugged. "Did you see anything about this in your letter? I would have liked to know to bring a bag of knuts."
