FIRST ONE. WOOP. Answering the knocker's riddle was a fairly easy task - she had solved it and shortly after, she heard more people coming behind her... and proceeded to close the door behind her so she was THE first and they would all have to answer a riddle themselves. Buying herself some time and such. Totally not rude. Just... happy to be home.
Upon taking a moment to breathe in the familiar scent of the peaceful room, Sophie raced up to her dorm, threw off her robe, snagged a gift box, a hairbrush, and a pocket full of hairties from her trunk, and hurried back down to the common room to find... no Mo yet. Okay. She could relax, then. Headed toward an armchair she had seen Mo frequently gravitate to last term, she sat on the floor in front of it, her back against the front of the chair with the gift box in her lap. Then... she waited, contently brushing her hair in the meantime.

But for now, thanks to the help of some older students, she was inside and her widened brown eyes looked around, taken in the sights. This was magnificent, like some sort of royal palace! She could definitely get used to this. The small redhead slowly walked around the room, looking at everything she could, standing at the large windows to peer outside and its amazing view, before turning to find a seat in a large, overstuffed armchair.
She found herself next to a girl about her size, though she was one she had not met before. Brynn watched her for a moment as she brushed her pretty, brown hair, smiling lightly. Just as she thought, it would be like one big sleepover.. that was what girls did at them? Brush hair and paint nails, stuff like that? Brynn offered her a slightly bigger smile as she offered her name, "Hi.. I'm Brynn. Have you been a Ravenclaw for a while?" Because while she looked about Brynn's size, she was much more at ease here than she.

Not sorry.
The sixth year entered the common room and was pleased to see it was relatively empty. Which meant that she could chill out here for a while and think. She picked a couch by one of the windows, not acknowledging the other students in the common room with how lost she already was in her own thoughts.

She greeted the knocker as if it were a real person and answered her riddle rather quickly. Once she entered she closed the door behind her and moved further into the room. "Hello everyone." She waved smally. "Just checking up on you before we all turn in." Adult in the hizz-house Little Sophie Brown was there and Mr. Kim as well as the new student she had spoken breifly with at the Feast...Brynn she thought.
Elwood didn't have much intention of staying super long tonight but she did notice her female prefect, finally, sitting over on her own. Calista walked over to the girl and took a seat beside her. "Good evening Isadora, I didn't see you at the Feast. Did we get everyone up here alright?" An encouraging smile was given to her new prefect. The girl hadn't took her lessons but she knew she was smart and responsible, right? Someone had told her that.
Mo was at the back of the pack, but then he was still trying to shake off the fact that he'd been kissed in the Great Hall. By a Gryffindor! By a Gryffindor THIRD YEAR. It was traumatizing, thanks. He ruffled his hair as he entered the Common Room, obviously spotting Sophie waiting for him. At least she had company, so he didn't need to rush over there.
Because their Head of House was here. The Professor Pretty herself. "Hey, Professor. Have a good summer?" He was all casual non-chalance and charm, really. Everyone should be impressed by how very cool he was at this very moment. Wait, was there fried chicken grease on his shirt? MORTIFYING.
"I need to come talk to you, actually. Um. I have to go now, though, and check on... chickens. And Dora! Dora is allergic to chickens! Just thought you should know!" And Mo made apologetic faces at the female prefect before rushing across the room to where Sophie and Brynn were waiting.
"Hey," he made glum faces at them both as he fussed over the stain on his shirt. It just wasn't... going anywhere. Mo pulled off his shirt and turned it inside out before putting it back on. There. Clean. "Hey..." Again. Peppier this time. "Gimme the brush, Soph. Who's your friend?"
