Default longish post, pls read, you're all in it. Mostly.
Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB

What would Sandhu do? Awwwwwwwww, their former HoH, the absolutely legendary astronomer lady. Bernie bit her lip as she felt flooded with sadness for the fact that Sandhu didn't teach here anymore, and there was some NEW LADY up there at the staff table, and who even KNEW who their Head of House was going to be, and and---

Oh, haaaaaaaa. Okay, Carsyn's whisper-instructions were making Bernie smile normally. Did everyone know that Bernie admired Professor Schmoe? Oh well, *open secret* not that big of a deal OkAY?

So, next step, and this one was harder to follow because she wasn't one-hundred percent sure what was and was not a good plan. Bernie had shown, for at least two years now, that she lacked good decision-making skills. AND Curtis had just confirmed Bernie's plan to sneak off to the Puffer table, so---so----


SPOILER!!: Phoebe and Morgan and KALE

Phoebe crossed her eyes and tried to stare at her upper lip, but it was well out of sight.

Said male was WINKING at her. Like maybe he was already in love with her. Man, that always happened so fast. Like she was so cursed with being really lovable and men kept falling at her feet. CURSED. Phoebe winked back, with BOTH of her eyes so that she knew he really meant it. Or was that encouraging him?

SPEAKING of men who couldn't grow a mustache, there was Kale. Phoebe stopped aggressively cuddling Bernie and dropped her chin onto her fist, the better to study him with. He was bopping, but he was QUIET. Suspiciously quiet. Unnaturally quiet. "KALE. COME SIT BY US, BUDDY." Ahem. Subtle.

He spotted Kale almost immediately and took a seat next to him. His dormmate seemed a little fidgety in his seat, but it didn't seem out of the ordinary or noticeable enough to mention. Instead.. "Hey! I was looking for you on the train, but I didn't see you anywhere! Where were you?" He had his own ideas about that, but he continued. "It's okay though, I sat with Nem. He was my partner in crime instead." But that title could go back to him now, if he wanted.

Glancing around the table, he quickly caught sight of some of the girls in his year too, talking about... something interesting? "Hey, everyone!" he gave the third year girls a wide smile, trying to remember if they had all come to his birthday party last week? It had been large, so he might have lost track. "What are we talking about?"

Bernie was being snugged by Phoebe, her co-momma, her good friend. Bernie gave her a nuzzle back, like as if Bernie was Beans and Phoebe was Phoebe. "I met him in Diagon Alley," she confirmed about the older boy. Did Phoebe just....shut her eyes in his direction? Weird. S'weird. "He was looking at mustache-growing products because he couldn't grow his own." Bernie was now an expert on male facial hair; one mustache Becky Rasting to confirm.

Meanwhile, there were BOYS of THEIR AGE sitting nearby now, and Bernie gave them both a good STAAAARE. One was the Headmaster's son, who didn't KNOW her?! Wow. Okay. So she was a persona non grata now, officially, to all the Trents in this school? Cool cool cool not hurtful at all cool cool. This was fine, she'd just....just lay low this year, per KALE'S DAD'S orders and all that. Fine. Whatever. Kale was probably a tattle-tale ANYWAY.

Bernie sniffed in Morgan's direction, though. He'd at least had the decency to invite her to his birthday party. "We're talking about mustaches," she informed the McCarthy.

Then the Headmaster's speech happened, Bernie got called out BIG TIME, and she blushed and felt like putting her head down again. How was she going to sneak off to the Hufflepuff table when she'd just been reminded about her FINAL NOTICE????

Still blushing, she began piling things on her plate, since the food was here and she should eat it while it was still hot. Oh Cole. Cole made her think of Claudine, which made Bernie feel saddened again. "It's okay, Cole." No, no one had been mean to her ON the train but rather ONCE THEY'D GOTTEN OFF the train. Sigh sigh sigh. She was fine now though, see? Fine, JUST FINE, and the food was here and she was going to sneak off to the Hufflepuff table as soon as she'd finished eating.
