The first year was not immediately recognizable to her, which was not a surprise given remembering names and faces remained one of Vera’s biggest flaws. Since being called ‘Vanessa’ and ‘Valerie’ the term prior, she was much better about not assigning nicknames to remember people - but that also meant she just instead ended up floating through the halls and greeting people with non-personal things like ’Hey’ or ’hey you’. No one said she was perfect.

Hearing the request to leave, Ve did not comply - which was probably of no surprise to anyone that knew her. Instead, she walked further into the room uninvited so she could continue her check up on the younger student. She did not think the young girl was stupid, nor did it cross her mind at all that the request for her to leave could be something personal. No, she was far more focused on the fact that she was now an older student and should be being an example and caring for the youngers. And if it were her little sister, she’d want someone else to make sure she was okay if they happened upon her in a state.

Especially as the girl rolled again and was now laying with her face in the pillow. Wasn’t that difficult to breathe? She imagined it would be. The action also looked very much indicative of the fact this little one was not okay. “Do you need to see Professor Feirgrund? I can help you to the Hospital Wing or probably call for him?” Her patronus was weak, but lately with her practice she’d been able to conjure one. She could maybe easily send for their Head of House. It was then that she realized she’d also seen the girl with one of Logan’s dorm mates. “Or would you prefer your brother?” When she didn’t feel good, her brother was certainly one of her go tos.
