Originally Posted by Felixir Having correctly signed his answer to the Ravenclaw knocker's riddle and been permitted entry, Daxton stepped into the Ravenclaw common room, tugging his earmuffs down off of his ears as he did so. Though the common room tended to be much louder than the corridors at times, that was not usually the case at this time of day. The room was reasonably calm, though Daxton had to take a moment or two to adjust to having his hearing unmuffled. During this time, he cast his eyes about the common room, habitually surveying the area and shifting his three library books under his arm as he did so.
One girl in particular caught his eye, Maddison Cooper, the girl with whom Daxton vividly recalled sharing a carriage to school with just over a year ago. Though, it was less the girl herself that had grabbed Daxton's attention, and more what she was doing. Folding paper, over and over again, into creatures. Origami. It seemed such a mundane, meaningless activity, yet mesmerising, geometrically intriguing, and Daxton could not look away.
Noting the creature that sat nearby, Daxton approached anyway, and sat himself on the floor just across from the Cooper girl, trying to keep his distance from the cat-... no... the kneazle. Already he felt his eyes stinging purely from sitting so close, and Daxton rubbed at one of them, casting a suspicious and distrusting look at the animal, before looking at the paper creations instead, and setting his books and the floor beside him. Soon he would need to brew some more allergy potions, but for now, he inspected the small horde of strange origami creatures. The sudden arrival of the Prince boy hadn't gone unnoticed, though Maddie did nothing to acknowledge his presence. He was a bit of a mystery and as the brunette quite enjoyed those, she didn't want to scare him off. She'd simply observe him observing her work and take mental notes from there. The first being that he seemed to be having some kind of negative reaction to Zeus. Not unusual as the kneazle was a bit of a menace but interesting all the same. One would think they'd get on swimmingly as Daxton Prince seemed to be a bit of a menace himself.
After finishing a rather ornate paper dragon, the seventh year set it down with the others. A wand wave and murmured spell later and it was flying, slowly, towards the boy across from her.
