| | The Girls' Dormitories  graphics by hermionesclone Stepping away from the common room, a second opening opposite the honey coloured wall leads you to the girls dormitories. The dormitories are set up year by year. However, no matter which year you are, all the rooms have an air of comfort and warmth in them. Beds with the best kind of comforters and quilts are neatly set up on each side of the room, side tables with a small house plant are next to them as well. Whether you are ready to sleep, or trying to study, or hanging out with your dorm mates the boys dorms are a good place for a girl badger to be.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sophia Svensson #556B2F Slytherin Fifth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Eulalia Walles (#F48037) Hufflepuff Fourth Year | Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE! Margaret was feeling some kind of something. No Kittredge, no Aguilar. Trent was back, which was...well, it was mind-boggling, having had a whole year thinking she knew him, and then finding out that was not in fact Mavis's father, and now he was Mavis's father again?! Even with the polyjuice potion section in potions last term, it was still had to comprehend.
Even the Hufflepuff common room was different. She'd checked, the board games were gone. And it was...yellower? Mellower? She couldn't quite put her finger on what was different. Maybe it had already been different last spring, and she'd missed out on that, too.
Her new owl had already gone to the owlery, so when she got to the third year girls' dormitory after the feast she slipped off her shoes, ditched her yellow and black tie, and curled up on her bed. She was supposed to be happy to be back. She'd been looking forward to this aaaaaaalllllll summer long. Why wasn't she happy? She wrapped her arms around her knees and sniffed. Her vision was all blurry. She didn't even want to get out the chocolate and mint chocolate cookies she'd had her babulya make for sharing. This didn't feel right. |

The feast was the feast in Gemma's opinion. Lots of noise, Trent saying in his own words be good and don't die, and now they were in the common room. Without thinking the fourth year walked into the third year dorms and sat on the edge of a bed she occupied last term. Once she had sat down though she realized she was sitting on... feet? "Oh, I'm sorry"
Squinting in the darkened room she then realized she wasn't in the right place. "Wow, I'm so not a third year anymore, am I?" She knew that, she did, but the summer was a blur of things and leaving right after the war had made her forget that she moved ahead one year. That did happen now didn't it, every single year. "I'm sorry I bothered you. Are.. are you okay?" She didn't see any reason the girl wasn't, but she was in bed the first night instead of with everyone in the common room.

Margaret squirmed as a soft weight suddenly pushed her further into the mattress. "Who's there?" she muttered, pushing herself into a sitting position and pulling out her wand. "Lumos."
As the light brightened the room and revealed Gemma's face, she pulled a smile onto her own. "Hey, Gemma..." she said, rubbing at her eye with her other hand. "Um...it's just... it's..." she sniffed again, trying not to think but also trying to answer Gemma's question. It was impossible to do both, unfortunately for her tear ducts. "This is weird." |

[b] "Mag, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bother you."[/]b She felt horrible about bothering the third year she just wasn't paying attention. Squinting when the light came on she tried to look at her friend.
Frowning when she heard the sniff and felt like maybe she was upset, but wasn't everyone upset? The feast didn't seem as happy or maybe that was just her take on it.
She moved to the side of the bed and leaned against it. "Weird is probably the best words I could have found. I mean things are different, everyone changed last term because they were forced to change. I think it is going to be weird for awhile." That was the best answer she could come up with even though she wished she could say more, but she really just didn't know what else to say.

That was the best answer she could come up with even though she wished she could say more, but she really just didn't know what else to say. Margaret hugged her knees to her chest and looked over at Gemma. She was kind of surprised the older girl was so calm. Maybe she had done all her crying over the summer. She'd...Mamie had...well, she had done some crying over the summer. Some back in May. But mostly? Mostly she tried to think of all the good things about Hogwarts. Like her kind housemates and the sweet houseelves and flying and her favourite professors...
She sniffed again. "I got an owl over the summer," she whispered. "What if they take him away?" Or her new broom, what if they changed the rules again and destroyed her broom? After how hard she'd worked to convince her parents flying was safe, she couldn't face them broom-less. "I wish it could all go back to normal, like when nobody knew or cared if I was Muggleborn," she said, back at normal volume. She squinted slightly at Gemma. The fourteen-year-old sounded very wise. Did having a parent die do that? Or maybe it was just due to her vast experience of being a teenager. "Are you going to do the play?" Maybe if they talked about something fun, it would feel less weird. |

Did having a parent die do that? Or maybe it was just due to her vast experience of being a teenager. "Are you going to do the play?" Maybe if they talked about something fun, it would feel less weird. Listening to her friend Gem felt bad for her, she felt bad for everyone that was not really feeling being back. "An owl sounds so fun. I got a pygmy puff a few summers ago, he isn't as cool as an owl, but he's been good company." She did love twirls, but she had always wanted a cat, but she was always told she wasn't old enough for one. "OOOoh they won't take him away, they would never take him away. All that bad is over now, they aren't going to do that anymore." She reached over and hugged the third year feeling really awful for her. She didn't want anyone to think because of their blood they were different. "I... I think it will go back to normal at some point. It might take some time, but it will. At least that's what I've been told all summer when people thought they needed to say it." She figured it was true for many, but she just didn't know if it would be for her. How could you go back to normal after all of this. "There are so many muggleborns in our communities and many wizards who go off and live with the muggles. For so many that doesn't matter, please don't let a small few define you. You are amazing and no one that truly matters will care if you are pureblood or muggle." She did not want her friends to think they are less of anything when they were amazing.
When talk went to the play Gem didn't know what to say, "Didn't even think about it really, so probably not." She wasn't really wanting to be center of attention on a stage anytime soon.

When talk went to the play Gem didn't know what to say, "Didn't even think about it really, so probably not." She wasn't really wanting to be center of attention on a stage anytime soon. "What's a pygmy puff?" she asked. She had never heard of that. Like a tiny Hufflepuff, maybe? It sounded weird. "Th-they won't?" She had been pretty worried about bringing Vendetta to school with her, after everybody's owls were taken last term.. But if Gemma said they wouldn't take him...Margaret believed her. "Then we can go visit him in the Owlery sometime, if you want!" And maybe Gemma could introduce her pymgy puff, too...whatever that was.
She hugged Gemma back, though. At least...at least most of her friends were still here. And everybody but the first years had lived through last term, so...they didn't have to talk about it. Didn't have to explain it to anybody, really. "I hope you're right," was all she said, quietly, to Gemma's encouragement. She just hoped that having her wand at all times would give her the opportunity to practice and catch up in some of her classes. "I don't like acting," Mamie said with a firm nod. "I...errm....saying the words is hard sometimes." If there was acting where you didn't have to talk, like with dancing, maybe, she'd much prefer that. "It will be fun to see, though, I guess." Maybe she could find a way to help without having to act. She could do lighting charms, or something. |
