She was so wrapped up in her nursery rhyme decision making that someone else entering the room had gone entirely unnoticed by Vera. At least, that was until the presence spoke right behind her. The Gryffindor gave a small jump before whirling around and preparing her picture of innocence. No Professors, wasn't doing anything suspicious. Just lost her favorite jumper.... Super far away from the fourth year Gryffindor's bin of washing.

Would that actually make it worse for her?

Thankfully, the girl would never have to know, because eyes fell upon the familiar smol blond. Her face quickly shifted to her usual grin and she waggled her fingers at Aurora. What was she doing? "Mischief. Want to join me?" Aurora and Anna both reminded her a lot of little Scooter, so she had a special fondness for the pair. And also no preservation skills for if anyone DID want to squeal on her. Pranking always came with the threat of being caught. She certainly was not a stranger to detention because of that.

Turning back towards the bins, Vera gestured at them all with one arm. "Pick a bin! Any that isn't my dorm or yours!" And then she could share with her what they were up to.
