OH!

Her mentor, her new mentor that was going to permanently keep her out of trouble??? Bernie was cheered immensely by this prospective arrangement. She followed the directions: first step, put head up and smile. Bernie's smile was directed toward the older boy across from her, Józef. She felt bad for grinning at him like a loopy Azkaban escapee, but there it was. A smile. With ~~pointy~~ teeth and everything.

"What's step two?" This question was for Carsyn, because Bernie's face was hurting already from all this forced smiling. And also, did Carsyn know who their new HoH was? Because Bernie really needed someone on her side this term. Like, someone who could intervene with the Headmaster on her behalf, thanks.

Pretty morbid. He felt bad for those dogs and all when it happened, especially since he played with them when he was younger before Hogwarts. But it wasn't like she wanted them killed so Curtis had no grudge to hold. It was just something that happened to be on his mind when he approached her.

That cooould explain the lack of expression on Curtis face. He didn't look serious, upset, or anything that would make it easy to determine his purpose of approaching the Gryffindor table. "Bernie?" Curtis asked. Was she talking to someone already? Oops, too bad. He couldn't stick around long enough to wait on it. He leaned close enough for his whisper to only be intended for her to hear, "Isla needs you for Operation: Hideout at our table." Lesson one for delivering a message, as short as possible and to the point. Now hopefully, he won't have to repeat himself.

That's when Curtis realized, that he can't just dip out without it looking suspicious. He was sure he had eyes on him from the Staff Table. So to cover that up he had to do something else.

"What's up, Carsyn? You treating the new kids alright?" Yes, this was random. Especially since Curtis hardly ever acknowledged Prefects, but he had no hesitation in his actions, unless it was necessary.

Truth be told, some context probably would have been appropriate, but it seemed after a minute or two, that it wasn't needed. Bernadette understood, as well as Carsyn, which truth be told was all that really mattered. Okay so the grin was a little bit fake, but it was workable and definitely infinity times better than having one's head down. It was the first step to faking confidence. Which brought Carsyn to the next question raised by Bernie, which was one that if Carsyn was being honest, she was 1000000% faking all these steps along the way. Not that Bernie would know.

"Okay, so once you have the friendly, approachable smile down, the next thing you need to say to yourself is ... what would Sandhu do? Or well, it doesn't have to be Sandhu, but really any adult that you look up to and admire. Probably wouldn't recommend Professor Schmoe though," No offense. She liked the guy, but he wasn't exactly known for his wise-beyond-years. Whereas, that new Creatures Professor, he looked like a wise one.

That was when Curtis interrupted, whispering something of an operation to Bernie?? Huh? Okay, step three time. Leaning in to whisper to Bernie next, "Step three, ignore what you originally thought was a good plan and take time to think of an alternative."

Wait, was Curtis talking to her now? Weird. "As good as always, Curtis. Ready for your fifth year?" Wait, he was a fifth, right?? Hopefully, but he could have been a fourth for all she knew.

The table was filling up quite quickly, with a beam at Cecelia who was quite the ray of sunshine. Bernie should probably hang with her dormmate more than that slytherin who she seemed to gravitate towards; that would certainly help her chances of improvement. "Suppose so, Cece. Although to be frank, would be more brilliant if there was going to be proper quidditch this year. You down for some morning runs still?"

And Józef strolling in, which Carsyn had to admit, he'd come quite a long way in his gryffindor pride. She shot him a smile in return, "Always, Kowalski, always. You're looking quite fine yourself. Looks like summer treated someone well." Right behind him was her co-prefect and definitely the more focused and grounded of the Gryffindor leadership pairing, but with her confidence and extrovertedness, they worked great together. "Hey Lucas. Ready for another year?" Was it her who was wondering vaguely how some of her peers did on their owls? She knew how Carys did of course, and while she'd been content with her scores, she wondered if she didn't take enough after seeing her sister take more than her. Eight was good though. She passed them all, so what more could she have hoped for? Perhaps Cora would be a good person to ask - if she didn't take more exams than that girl, then she'd feel really bad.

Speaking of dormmates, there was Stella, who seemed mellow compared to normal. Frowning at her briefly, Carsyn greeted her then with a wave. "You alright there, Starson?" She bit her lip hesitantly. And Islay sat down next, to which she offered a smile to her as well. Was it Carsyn or did she feel like they really needed to do some roommate bonding these last two terms. Sure they've spent five terms with each other, but somehow they felt more like acquaintances with a mutual level of respect and understanding. Was it weird to want more?

Speaking of wanting more, who was that tallllllll, find looking specimen of a wizard. Yes, we saw that blush, Lucas ... because this new seventh year (Andrew) was quite clearly so fine looking that everyone took notice. And Islay knew him?!? Okay, now was definitely a good time to become closer friends with Islay. She really wanted to say something, yet for one of the first times ever, Carsyn Kim Rose could not find words.

Pity because she really ought to give a welcome to that boy Noah who just got sorted into Gryffindor as transfer. Please no one notice her staring at this new seventh year, whom she didn't know his year or anything about him other than the fact that he knew Islay.
