Why couldn't she thrive anywhere?
Elena took a seat at the Gryffindor table, on the side of the table facing the Slytherin one so that she could keep her twin in her sights. She sent him a helpless sort of look. It wasn't that she was upset about being a Gryffindor, per se. In different circumstances, she would be pretty excited. And she was excited, actually. Just, the excitement wasn't strong enough to break through the surface emotions at the moment. Those primarily bring upset at the hat for not listening to her and for separating her from Alexei. And, though she was loathe to admit it, nervousness. Elena wasn't often nervous. She was what some might call an extrovert. She liked meeting new people and talking to them. But she hadn't often been in a place with quite so many new people, and of varying ages. It would be different if the only people she had to contend with were her fellow first years. But she refused to let her fears overtake her. She sat up straight and held her chin in the air as she glanced up and down the table. She was rather excited to find out who her new dormmates were.
Bria had been elsewhere along the Gryffindor table after her Sorting, mingling with another first year who had been sorted before her and chatting it up with older peers to pick and peck at them about extracurriculars and which ones they took and where the chickens were kept on the grounds - to her disappointment, there were none but she was likely to find them in Hogsmeade when the time came! Perhaps it was because she was being too chatty or perhaps the prefect really did just want to be a good Summeritain, but soon the blonde was being directed towards another girl who was new to the table which meaaaaaaant that they were going to be dormmates!
Thanking those she had been chatting with, Bria swung her legs over the bench and trotted down the long table to plop herself beside the new girl...who's name she had unfortunately not heard due to her not entirely paying attention to the Sorting Hat and its announcements nor the names being called prior to said announcements. "G'day!" she chirped with a wave (that ended up looking more like enthusiastic flailing right in front of the other girl's face). "I'm Bria, a first year too! Looks like we're going to be dormmates! I just got a couple of tips from those down there at the other end of the table. Apparently, ghosts will give you extra help on your homework if you ask nicely...which seems lucky since one of the professors IS a ghost ... and one of the professors is actually a vampire...but I'm not so sure about that one, seems a furphy to me." Maybe she ought to have kept the latter to herself since she hardly believed it. Oh well. "Or maybe they meant that they had a vampire bat for a pet...thought would be bonzer! Did you bring a pet to school this term too?"

Swallowing a breath Rose turned her dark eyes to the other girl giving her a long look and slightly nippy answer. "No, to new school trend unless you too have eaten the beard growing candy i just did? Beard care tips?"
What was the other girl babbling about? "I'm not exactly fond of looking like a hairy dame," Rose added with a gesture to her face that felt like it was sprouting more hair than she she'd liked to feel. "That's what I guess I'm looking like right now since I don't have a mirror." It'd be horrible if she was growing so much hair that she was looking like a female santa or worse and that wasn't something she wanted to endure if she could help it. Quote:

Maybe she was immune to finding it weird? “Nadia…” she answered, returning Diamond’s wave as well. “It was pretty good actually,” she remarked, not really having anything to complain about at home.
“Don’t worry about it,” the seventh year tried to assure Rose who confirmed where the beard came from. “Effects from pranked candy don’t usually last that long. Plus…I’m sure most people have a ton of other things to focus on tonight to notice.” Or care. Case in point her own distraction. In case the younger girl was really worried about others causing her further embarrassment.
Woah...was she feeling awkwardly mature offering comfort and advice.
BOOOOOOOOOOOORING.
Diamond made sure that 'beard growing candy' was added to the notepad. She hadn't exactly expected more in a response, and she could absolutely still work with this, but the situation needed a bit more zest. "Hairy dame? Don't know about that but I reckon there are a few kneazles who would be jealous of your coat," she hummed and added 'unknowingly consumed' beside the previous note. "Also seems like you're the only one suffering from this affliction. A targeted attack, perhaps, or is this some dimwit's attempt to catch your attention and therefore an embarrassing display of flirtation? Care to comment?" An old, gross, horrendously misguided trope but also the sort of thing people just ate up for whatever reason.
Speaking of boring...Nadia's attempt at peacekeeping nearly solicited a yawn. Could she not see that there was an attempt for decent gossip here? Sure Diamond could have suggested, as she would have done if she were in such a predicament, to own the moment and not let them see you sweat or get all worked up over the prank - because that is what the aim of these immature but amusing scenes were - but where was the fun in that? "Sure sure, like she said, a couple of hours tops most likely. Hopefully you won't be coughing up any furballs later or through tomorrow," she nodded sagely.
But, of course, she checked her notepad to make sure additional memos were had about Nadia's casual dismissal of things which was totally sus with the right framing.
