Down the long corridor to the right are the girls'dormrooms. Torches light the way allowing you to see the many portraits of Slytherin alumni lining the walls. You'll want to be careful what you say or do here as these portraits aren't here just for the decor.
There is a dorm room for each year of the house. Students, you will find many four poster beds, all draped with green curtains. Be sure to stake your claim on the bed you want before someone else gets to it first.
Be aware, this Dorm is for Slytherin GIRLS ONLY. Each room has a charm placed on it that will alert Healer Murdoch should any boys TRY to enter these rooms. Consider this your warning. Any boys caught trying to get in here WILL face the wrath of Healer Murdoch.
Stifling a yawn right after wathing the kitty in her arms yawn, Maggie made her way to the dorms. The dorm. She'd have to share a dorm. With other girls. SHE'D HAVE TO SHARE A ROOM WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHAT WAS THIS MADNESS???? Who did they take her for? A poor person who couldn't afford a single room??? Why were there no single rooms? She wasn't going to SURVIVE sharing a room with other girls.
They were probably stupid too. And smelly. OMG WHAT IF THEY DIDN'T SHOWER?????
Maggie had stopped right outside her new dorm. She took a deep breath. Maybe her last intake of nice-smelling air for tonight. Okay, she could do this. And with that she walked into the dorm room. Which was...surprise surprise...empty. What an anti-climax that had been. She sighed and dropped her kitty on the bed that had her things next to it. That part was pretty cool actually. People were carrying her things for her. This was very nice yes. Would they be doing that with her school books too? Or did she have to find herself someone else to do that?
Those questions on her mind, Maggie sat down on the bed as well. Hmm. So far it didn't look ALL TOO BAD.

She wasn’t tired, but Brooklyn wanted to see what everything she was going to be spending the next seven years around was like. Obviously she’d already experienced the Great Hall, and found her way down to the Slytherin common room. Of course, that hadn’t really been a problem. All she’d had to do was watch where the older Slytherins went, and then follow. Now that she’d arrived, though, there was one more location to scout. Not to mention she had to make sure all of her things had gotten delivered safely. There were precious things in her trunk that she hadn’t wanted to leave at home, and it wasn’t Tywin. The kitten was back on her shoulder analyzing his surroundings just as much as his mistress was. There had been particular attention given to the windows, given the curiosity that still existed regarding Mr. Henry the squid, but nothing was visible right now. Therefore, it was time to investigate her room.
It was still hers, even if she was going to be forced to share it with the other firsties. Obviously she wasn’t going to have to share with Clyde and Dante, though, so she could handle it. As long as her roommates respected her space, and respected her. She wasn’t planning on acting like she had with Professor Bellaire all the time. Stepping inside the room, her blue eyes scanned the beds inside, almost as if she was counting them to find out how many others would be in there with her. It wasn’t until she’d approached the bed that had her trunk at the end of it that she saw she wasn’t alone, and she’d been alerted by claws digging into her shoulder again as well.
“Oh,” she said as she saw Maggie, a disinterested look starting to appear on her face until she saw the kitten. So it wasn’t Dante’s kitten then, even though he’d been holding it at the feast. Tywin had jumped down and up onto her own bed by the time she’d taken a step or two toward the other girl. “You have a kitten too?”

'Oh'.
Oh indeed. Maggie was used to that kind of reaction from others upon seeing her. The words were usually followed by 'my God'. So she was waiting for that. Still twirling a lock of blonde hair around her finger, pretending to not have noticed the entrance of the other girl. Still waiting.....waiting.....more waiting....okay she was SLOWLY getting bored of this.
The girl couldn't be THAT speechless.
And clearly wasn't.
So when Maggie finally did look up and over to the other girl - Brooke, was it? - the look on her face was one of disinterest as well. Sort of mirroring the other girl's. Yes? Can I help you?
That is until she mentioned Molly. Her eyes dropped to the kitten which had by now crawled over to lay down on her pillow. "Yes." She felt like grinning because people usually expected that when talking about kittens. Somehow she managed a smile. "Her name's Molly."
Marisol slammed her suitcase onto the floor. Yeah, so graceful. She knew that already. This year was gonna be hard. First year was so like, "you're new here; it's okay, we'll help you, you're little and cute". Seventh years are like, "yay, we're graduating; we're so carefree!" Mari wondered where second years fit into that mould.
She was really tired and didn't feel like unloading her junk. But so what? It was her first night back. Who said she was going to bed now? She would procrastinate her unpacking, but that was because she'd be doing other things. She sat down on the chosen four-poster and bounced. People should be getting to the common room soon. *Bounce*.

She didn’t care how her comment had been taken. As far as Brooklyn cared, they’d established if they’d get along back on the banks of the lake when her attempt as helping was met by a look. It was going to take her a long time to bother about helping anyone after that incident, and she wasn’t bothering to worry that she was going to be called rude either. The only problem about the whole situation was that she knew they would be sharing a dorm. For all seven terms, unless Maggie gave up and left before then. She wasn’t going to be the one who backed down, not when she’d already felt like she’d be able to hold something over her sister since she’d be able to experience Hogwarts for real. She wasn’t a transfer. She wasn’t going to run away.
The fact the look she had gotten in return of her own was almost a mirror image was interesting. It almost made her think that maybe there was promise there. Maybe they weren’t so different after all, and not just because they both had kittens. Of course, Maggie’s was much more fluffy and girly than Tywin, but she knew Tywin was awesome. She had her own wild cat, in her opinion, and all that was left was to talk Daddy into letting her have a falcon and she’d be happy. She didn’t do normal pets.
The idea that maybe things might turn around crystallized even more when the notice of said fluffy white kitten, which was almost blending in with Maggie’s pillow by now actually made her owner’s expression change. “Mine’s Tywin,” she replied, glancing back to see the kitten in question regally sitting on top of her trunk. Her kitten had an awesome name. “Where’d you get the idea to name your Molly?” The idea of introducing herself had been ignored. She’d told prefect Ethan her name back at the feast and the other girl had been there. That should have been enough.

As she reached what would be her dorm Hadleigh took a small breath and lightly knocked on the door just in case anyone was inside. Pushing the door open after a moment she stepped inside and slowly took in the room. It didn't seem so bad, sure she had to share it with a few other girls but just so they didn't take her things without her permission then there shouldn't be a problem really.
Spotting the other two girls in the room (Brooklyn and Maggie) she smiled softly at them both. She had seen them down at the feast but she didn't recall their names as she hadn't exactly spoken with anyone at the time. Seeing as they were talking she choose to keep quiet for the moment not wanting to interrupt them.
Making her way across the room to her bed (she saw her trunk) a smile broke out on her face as she spotted Hagan her fully calico kitten curled up in the center of the bed. Hady reached out and smoothed the kittens fur and for that was rewarded with a loud purr.

Tywin huh. What a weird name that was.
Maggie glanced over to Brooklyn's kitten, giving it an unimpressed look. Hers was prettier. Hers was better. Obviously. It was only then that she noticed that there was yet another cat sleeping on the third bed in the dorm. Oh goodie. So they all had cats. At least none of them had some kind of weird gross pet. Like a lizard. Or a bird or something. Ew. Birds. She hated birds.
"Daddy said her name's Molly when he gave her to me." Right before he left. Yes. So that was why her kitten was called Molly. Maggie briefly considered asking Brooklyn the same question but then decided that she didn't really care. At all. So instead she just looked at the other girl, considering her, eyeing her up, trying to figure out if she was worth making friends with.
Before she'd come to a conclusion, however, the dorm door opened yet again. Oh. There was the owner of the third cat. Interesting. Maggie's eyes followed the other girl as she made her way over to her own bed. "So how are you then?" Maggie finally said, not really moving off her bed and talking around Brooklyn.

Sitting herself down on the bed first Hady then reached for her kitten but she didn't have to for the moment she had sat the small calico crept up onto her lap. Hagan (the kitten) padded in a circle before settling down in a small ball of fur in the center of her lap.
Chewing her lip to keep from giggling she silently smoothed her kittens fur wondering how her snake back home was doing. She'd have to owl her parents and ask about him, she knew he wasn't good around others. Pushing the thought to the back of her mind Hady lifted her head just to catch Maggie looking at her.
For a moment she didn't say anything as she heard the girl (Maggie) speaking but she wasn't fully sure if she'd be talking to her or the other girl in the room still. Sighing softly she tilted her head just slightly to the side in a poor attempt to get her hair out of her face and offered a small. "Hmm?" In question. She hoped it would make the girl ask again if she had been talking to her or at least sound like she might have been interacting with her kitten if she hadn't been.
Right now she just didn't want to make a mess of things and look stupid already.

Well, at least there was one thing everyone in the firstie dorm had in common, as Brooklyn had caught the sight of another kitten out of the corner of her eye, curling up on another of the beds. The question occurred to her that she wasn’t entirely aware of how many other firsties there were, but she also wasn’t about to ask Maggie. Obviously she wasn’t about to offer information, and she returned the unimpressed look. It was just as obvious the other girl hadn’t known the importance of her kitten’s name, and how much better it was than one that hadn’t even been original. At least she’d named her own kitten.
“So then your daddy named her,” she replied flatly, showing exactly how much she cared. If Maggie didn’t care to know where she’d gotten her kitten’s name, she wasn’t about to bother to care either. It was turning into another situation of just tolerating people, which was going to be fun. She knew she was better anyhow. Maggie would figure that out soon enough, and she didn’t show any reaction whatsoever to being eyed. All she had to do was wait. Otherwise, Maggie was going to en d up back at the position she’d been in after the lake, if she didn’t prove otherwise. If she didn’t prove she was as annoying as other people who were probably hiding somewhere else in the dungeons.
Her head had turned slightly toward the door as it had opened, letting in yet another sort of blonde firstie girl who had went over to the bed the calico was curled up on. More proof she was more special, if everyone else had practically the same hair color. At least the other girl didn’t have a fluffy white kitten too or she’d really be bored. She had rolled her eyes as Maggie had talked around her, too, finally moving to sit on her bed. Tywin could handle himself. She might as well be comfortable. “Anyone know if it’s just us?” Okay. She’d ask, but just to break the weird silence since it seemed like nobody knew who was being talked to. Now they had something to say.

"Yes."
Yes her daddy had named her kitten. Did Brooklyn have a problem with that? Maggie certainly didn't. Nor did she care if the other first year had named her kitten herself. Tywin. What a very strange name. Not at all cute or kitten-y. And no, she definitely was NOT going to ask how she'd come up with it. Because frankly, she just didn't care. It was as simple as that. Period. Yes.
'Hmm?'
Was this girl stupid or something? She'd asked her a simple question. Okay, maybe she should start off with something even EASIER to answer then. "What's your name?" There was a still a smile plastered across her lips to hide the fact that she was slowly starting to get really impatient with the other blonde first year. "I'm Maggie." Yes. Nicknames showed how friendly she was no? "And this is....Brooke, was it?" She put on an indifferent look again as she briefly glanced back over to Brooklyn.
Yes. She DID in fact know what her name was.
And no, she didn't know if it was just them. How was she supposed to know that? So she just shrugged before turning her attention back to the other girl.

Hadleigh wasn't really sure who many first years there were but as far as she knew it was just the three of them. At least for the girls in their house anyway. "I'm not sure honestly but I believe it's just the three of us girls but I could be wrong." She replied to the first girl whom has asked (Brooke).
Laying back on her bed she folded her arms under her head turning it to the side just as the other girl has spoken to her. "It's Hady and this is Hagan" She told them both as she smoothed her hand over the kittens head as she said her name. It took a moment before she said anything more but when she did it was a quiet. "Nice to meet you both."
She may have come off rude or stupid but that wasn't it at all. Usually she was happy and friendly. Right now though she was out of her element and that changed things for her a bit.

Brooklyn was tempted to roll her eyes at the brief answer to her non-question about Maggie’s kitten. It hadn’t needed an answer. The answer had been obvious, since the other girl had already said that her daddy was the person who told her the kitten’s name. To her, it showed a lack of creativity, as well as other things yet the eye roll didn’t happen. Not yet, anyway.
“That’s what I thought,” she’d replied as the second blonde had actually answered her question. There was pride in the fact hers had gotten answered while Maggie’s had only gotten a hmm, too. See, she was so better than the other girl. Plus, there was still the fact she was better because she wasn’t a blonde. “Means we don’t have to worry about anyone else getting into our stuff.” Plus, they wouldn’t have to deal with acquainting themselves with more roommates. Just the three of them and their kittens. The weird part was that she thought she remembered three boy first years from the feast, too, sadly counting Clyde. Course, she didn’t really have to count him when he probably was hiding from her. She could just count the other two. Dante and the other boy she didn’t know.
The eye roll definitely happened as Maggie had tried to pretend she knew her name. All it proved was that she didn’t. “It’s Brooklyn,” she said almost automatically, emphasizing the last part of her name. Not that Brooke was as bad as Brookie, but it was just a matter of habit. Queens didn’t have nicknames anyway. Using their name showed respect.
“Nice to meet you too, Hady and Hagan.” No specific return of greeting to the others in the room. Not like there had actually been a greeting.

"It's Hady and this is Hagan" She told them both as she smoothed her hand over the kittens head as she said her name. It took a moment before she said anything more but when she did it was a quiet. "Nice to meet you both."
She may have come off rude or stupid but that wasn't it at all. Usually she was happy and friendly. Right now though she was out of her element and that changed things for her a bit.

The answer had been obvious, since the other girl had already said that her daddy was the person who told her the kitten’s name. To her, it showed a lack of creativity, as well as other things yet the eye roll didn’t happen. Not yet, anyway.
“That’s what I thought,” she’d replied as the second blonde had actually answered her question. There was pride in the fact hers had gotten answered while Maggie’s had only gotten a hmm, too. See, she was so better than the other girl. Plus, there was still the fact she was better because she wasn’t a blonde. “Means we don’t have to worry about anyone else getting into our stuff.” Plus, they wouldn’t have to deal with acquainting themselves with more roommates. Just the three of them and their kittens. The weird part was that she thought she remembered three boy first years from the feast, too, sadly counting Clyde. Course, she didn’t really have to count him when he probably was hiding from her. She could just count the other two. Dante and the other boy she didn’t know.
The eye roll definitely happened as Maggie had tried to pretend she knew her name. All it proved was that she didn’t. “It’s Brooklyn,” she said almost automatically, emphasizing the last part of her name. Not that Brooke was as bad as Brookie, but it was just a matter of habit. Queens didn’t have nicknames anyway. Using their name showed respect.
“Nice to meet you too, Hady and Hagan.” No specific return of greeting to the others in the room. Not like there had actually been a greeting.
So it was just them. Apparently. Good. Or not good really. Maggie wasn't PARTICULARLY impressed with the other two girls so it would have been nice to share her dorm with someone cool. She stifled a dramatic sigh and simply continued to look like she couldn't care less.
Hady (strange name) and Hagan. Okay. Her eyes briefly flicked over to the girl's cat. Right. Okay. Strange names. Strange cat names. Hers was definitely better than both Hagan and Tywin. Nonetheless, she offered Hady a bright grin. BrookLYN. Ah yes. "Right. That's what I said no?" No she hadn't. Heh. She gave Brooklyn a shrug before pulling up her legs to sit on her bed crosslegged.
Lovely. Now that they all knew each other's names. "So, Hady, where are you from then?" Hmm?

Whether it was just the three of them or not Hady wasn't exactly certain but honestly she wouldn't have minded much either way. Making friends was a good thing to her though it didn't always come easily. Back home she had many friends but only one really close friend whom she missed terribly and wished were here with her. Sadly he was a muggle without any magical abilities what-so-ever.
Closing her eyes at the memory of her best friend she took in a slow breath letting it out. She could always owl her father with a note for her friend. Yes. Yes she would do that later.
Was someone talking to her? She had heard her name. Blinking her eyes open she glanced at Magdalena as she realized it was hear speaking, it taking a moment to register what the girl had asked her however. Great. Just great a question about where she lived. Something else to make her think of home. "In America. Long Island New York actually..." She wasn't sure how this answer would be taken by both girls but she honestly didn't even care.

She wasn't sure how this answer would be taken by both girls but she honestly didn't even care.
Part of Brooklyn’s attention was still on the weirdness of if there were exactly the same number of firstie girls as there were boys in Slytherin, but she still was aware of what was going on around her. Namely, Maggie’s continued weirdness of trying to look disinterested. Obviously she cared, or she wouldn’t have to try. Brooklyn actually couldn’t care less, as long as the other girl didn’t try to get into her stuff. Or her fluffy kitten with the entirely uncreative name. Even her response to the correction as to her own name was uncreative. It was disappointing, really.
She didn’t respond. It was an attempt to bait her, and she wasn’t falling for it. A real princess didn’t, and instead she just turned and climbed onto her own bed, letting Tywin jump on next to her and then curl up on her pillow. She wasn’t sleeping yet, so that was okay. Plus, she’d noticed Hady’s pause, so the idea of conversation continuing was questionable. Maybe sleep would have been a better idea.
Although her ears perked up at the sound of ‘America’. She hadn’t expected that, and she swiveled her head to look over at Hady’s bed. “I’m from America too,” she said, interested. Not New York, but it was still interesting. Course, she hadn’t been born in America, but that didn’t count. She’d lived in California her whole eleven years of existence, so that was where she was from. London just made it more possible for her to be able to come here to Hogwarts without having to go anywhere else first. It made it so she was better than her sister.

America? Brooklyn just said she was from America as well. Now she didn't feel so out of place. She wondered what part of America the other girl was from. Maybe it was close to her or some place she'd visited before. Hady had gone to many different states with her parents on vacations or to visit family.
"What part?" She asked turning her attention to Brooklyn a bit more. She reached out a hand to continue petting her sleeping kitten.

....EXCUSE ME HELLO SHE WAS TALKING HERE TOO!
???????
She was too busy staring at the other two girls BECAUSE HELLO RUDE to register WHAT they were talking about. That came a few moments later. After she'd spent at least a WHOLE MINUTE glaring at them. For ignoring her. How dare they talk to each other and not her? She was the one trying to make conversation here. Like, what even, could she change dorms? Maybe she could sleep in the first year boys dorm. Yes.
Oh but......hang on....America?
"California." Maggie answered before Brooklyn had the chance to. Yes. IN CASE ANYONE CARED. They should though.

Just some useful advice right there.
Hady shifted slightly to be more comfortable on her bed as she continued petting the kitten beside her. She was waiting to here where Brooklyn was from when she heard Maggie speak up once more.
"California? I've been there once when I was younger to visit family." She replied. Now she really felt a bit better knowing both her dorm mates were from America as well.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. Right? Right?

Right.
It wasn’t that Brooklyn had forgotten about anyone else in the room. Maggie had been acting like she didn’t care to be part of the conversation, so she’d just let her. It wasn’t her job to make her open up, after all. If the blonde wanted to be antisocial, that was her own problem. She was going to talk to people who wanted to talk to her, whether or not it was met with approval. Especially when she was finding out interesting things like that one of her dormmates was from America too. That hadn’t been expected, given the whole story that most people who came here were from this country. She knew about transfers, of course. Her sister had been one, but none of them could be transfers. They got to come to Hogwarts from the beginning.
She had been about to answer Hady’s question, however, when miss disinterested had spoken and her blue eyes had flickered back to Maggie in surprise. The first thought was that she was answering the question for her, which was kind of rude. She was perfectly capable of answering questions asked of her all by herself, thank you very much. But then she narrowed her eyes as the possibility she wasn’t the only person from California had reached her mind. She was still special.
“‘M from San Diego,” she said, still watching Maggie even as she inserted her two cents into the discussion. Yes, she was from California too. So there. Nobody was going to usurp her position in this conversation. Besides, she’d gone lots of places because of her daddy and his Quidditch stuff. So she still had an advantage over other people.

"Aww you did?"Go to California once."Did you like it? Maggie grinned, pretending to be genuinely interested in what Hady had to say. "What's-" What had she said she was from again? Errrrrrrr. "-Long Island-" Yeah? "-like then?" Hmm?? She'd decided - in the past 10 seconds - that it was probably a good idea to make sure that at least one of her dorm mates was part of her group of minions friends.
And she had a feeling that Brooklyn was NOT going to be it.
Speaking of whom, the other girl was giving her weird looks. Surprised looks. Had she finally realized how awesome and beautiful she was?
Oh. Apparently that was not it. Or not solely. "San Diego." Maggie echoed the words, wrinkling her nose slightly. What did San Diego have? A zoo? Pfft. Lame. What else? Nothing. That was what. And she knew because she'd been there......once. Which had been enough. "I'm from Los Angeles." Just saying. That was WAAAAAAAYYYY cooler than San Diego.

Now both girls were talking to her? Alright focus and answer whomever was speaking. Hady looked at Brooklyn as she said she was from California like Maggie was. That was cool it made it a bit easier to remember then.
Hady smiled warmly at both girls sitting up in the center of her bed and folding her legs under her. "Yeah but I was only around four or five at the time so I don't remember all that much. It rained the last two days so we were stuck inside but I had a good time from what I do remember." She replied doing her best to answer the questions. Her family had hoped to go back someday but so far hadn't gotten around to it.
Maggie's next question somewhat startled Hady. How could she not know what Long Island was? The girl had said she was from America. Chewing her lip in thought she tried her best to explain figuring that maybe she didn't know because she was all the way on the other side of America. "Well it's an Island in New York. Mostly those living there refer to it as Long Island as it makes it easier to explain."

Maggie was certainly doing a lot of eyeing. It was something Brooklyn was finding weirdly fascinating, although she knew she was interesting already. She didn’t need the proof, and besides, she hadn’t asked the stupid question of what Long Island was like. That already made her better, but she’d also gone to lots of places when she was little. She didn’t need to ask what places were like. She was smarter than that, and she didn’t need to prove to Hady that she was interested in her either. Obviously the other girl already knew that. It was just Maggie who seemed intent on the idea.
She’d given the nose wrinkle a bland look, too. Los Angeles wasn’t better than San Diego. San Diego had lots more things to do anyway. Los Angeles didn’t have the beach, or two zoos, or Sea World. Los Angeles just had lots of buildings. Where was the awesomeness in that?
“I’ve been there,” she said after a moment. Los Angeles, that was, although she’d been to New York when she was a baby too. Probably not Long Island, but Maggie wasn’t really getting the answer as to what that was like anyway. That amused her. Just proved how much she was better. She actually got real answers, and lot of other reasons. Plus, she was special ‘cause she wasn’t blonde. Red hair was obviously more awesome.

((OOC: I have no idea how I messed that up. Maggie asking what Long Island was like... I totally read it wrong and thought she asked what it was so I'm going to let Hady continue with that if you both don't mind. Lol.))

Hady paused for a few moments in thought trying to explain what it was like living where she did. To her it was nice and she loved it because it's what she knew really. Would these two girls understand that? "It's nice depending on which part you're from. Where I live there's a creek not to far off in the forest behind our home. The deer come to drink at it sometimes. There's a lot of animals around and a few kids my age don't live to far. Mostly we all know each other and grew up together which is nice."
She tried to keep it simple not sure how much Maggie wanted to know or if the other girl was just being nice when she asked about it. She should probably ask what it's like where they lived as well. It could help keep the conversation going or something. Still petting her kitten she looked at both Maggie and Brooklyn in turn. "What's it like where you both live, is it always busy and nosy?
Sleep sounded nice. She didn't even care about OWL practice. She'd done enough of that during the summer. Besides she still had time until those were due. Dropping her bag on her bed, she flopped on her bum and kicked her shoes off.
Nice, long sleep. She needed that.
It seemed Chomper did as well.
Beverly had not forgotten about the last photograph for Charms' homework. She saved that for the finale. Scooting her shoes next to her bedside table, she positioned the camera, ready for action.
Wobbly as any tired little sugar glider could, Chomper dragged himself into one of her shoes. He slide all the way in, then popped his head out, and about the same moment he was sound asleep. She hoped she had captured it.
Only the charm would tell.
Gripping her wand, and with a firm tap on the photo, she cast, "Alacer!" A day's worth of practiced did its job. The animated picture developed quite well, demonstrating what Beverly had hoped without freezing.
She grinned to herself and set the pictures on the bedside table. What a great day. She accomplished a lot. As soon as her head hit her pillow, Prefect Wayne was out.
