Tina had been upstairs in her dorm, studying for her OWLs, when she heard a lot of noise drifting up form the common room. Ugh! Some people were trying to work here! She was going to give the culprits a piece of her mind, but when she peered down the stairs, she saw the common room decorated. Oh, that's right... the indoor camp-out! Between her OWL studies and preparation for the upcoming holidays (not to mention her sixteenth birthday), Tina had completely forgotten!
She came down the stairs moments later, dressed in a faded purple shirt with a cat on the front and purple and green striped pajama bottoms. That kinda matched, right? She didn't have any slippers, so she wore a thick pair of socks on her feet. That would have to do. Her pillow and a battered matagot plush were tucked under her arm, and she carried a plastic case full of nail polish, in case the other girls (or guys too if they were into that... she wouldn't judge) wanted to do nail art. She even brought a book with her if she decided she'd rather do something by herself.
Tina's eyes widened slightly as she looked around the common room. There were a lot of people here... and the more people there were, the more unpredictable things got. The thought crossed her mind to turn back, but she decided to stay. She still didn't know her housemates well, and this seemed as good an opportunity as any to start. "Hi," she said shyly, addressing everyone at once.
She set her things on the floor to claim a spot near the fireplace - but not near enough for anything to catch fire. Then she spotted the food. Normally Tina didn't do junk food, but those cinnamon rolls looked awfully inviting! As she helped herself to one, she noticed several people had mugs of cocoa. "Can I have some cocoa too, please?" she asked. Or she could make it herself if she needed to.
