"Oh, I'm Harper." she wondered briefly why Lola had pronounced her name with such deliberation, when she was distracted by what the girl said next.
She looked down at the map again and saw that it was indeed blinking. "Er - yeah, it's definitely blinking." she nodded in quick agreement. Was it blinking...in order? And how come all the coin images were surrounded by a certain color when it blinked, eh? EH EH EH?
Nope, she was confused.
Harper looked from one girl to the other, an eyebrow raised. "Ooookay, then." They were both different in her eyes. Sierra seemed a bit...snappy-er. Or whatever. "Well, seeing as I do have a map, and you guys have those coins, that's all that matters." She tried to smile at Sierra, but had an odd feeling that the girl wouldn't even be talking to Harper if she had not had a map. Meh, oh well. She would try to make it pleasant.
Harper peered at the map again as Sierra talked about it. Coins. She wished she had coins. She liked, no - LOVED coins. Coins coins coins coins coins.
She looked from one girl to the next again, biting her lip. "Do you have to put that colored coin in the fountain first or something?" she asked, gesturing toward the first coin that lit up.
Ah! Harper! That was her name. So now Sierra know.
"Okay, well, Harper, I'm Sierra," she said. Had she said that yet? Hmm.
"...and this is Lola." A Hufflepuff + Lola Jones = just the Golden Trio Sierra
always wanted to be a part of. [/end sarcasm] Okay, okay. Enough of that. They had a random location to figure out.
Sierra nodded.
"I...think so, but I don't have that coin," she answered. Again, she turned to Lola.
"...unless Lola does. Her bag's silver, mine's green." Made sense to her to have different coins in different colored bags.
"Lola?" she asked again, and as if on cue, the girl spoke up.

The girl would have to create a name for them later though because she simply wanted to solve this treasure-thing already. Hmph.
Oh look, the Hufflepuff spoke back to her! "Nice to meet you, Harper!" Harper... Harper... harps... a beaaaautiful instrument.
They were all back in task now.
"Ask Lockhart?" Could they do that? Plus, Lockhaaaart... Tsk tsk tsk! "TREYEN!" Lola called over to him. "Do we pay up to the fountain with our coins? Or is that STRICTLY confidential information and you can't tell me--because you know that is a billywig of a move, Treyen! It truly is!" But what if he would tell? Hmm? HMM?
Lola looked at Harper, "You know--MAYBE! Would that give us four wishes? When there's only three?! Can I get that extra wish if we do?!" OH PLEASE.
"Oh, for Merlin's sake!" Sierra exclaimed.
"Why don't you just name them on the way to the next location?" Or just not name them at all. They were inanimate objects, after all. She rolled her eyes when Lola proceeded to go through more introductions. Okay, okay. Let's get on with this! Why did Sierra pair up with Lola again? Oh, yeah. She was loyal...and she had a different colored bag.
She turned to Treyen as he answered Lola's question.

Which Lola actually said. BIG surprise, really.
Funny. The Fountain was the only thing that seemed to be radiating light, and yet she had to ask if they had to pay up the Fountain? The answer could be yes. Or it could be no. But we all knew what the answer was, right? "STRICTLY confidential information," he winked.
Treyen looked towards another Slytherin and nodded. They needed someone with a map, and Hufflepuffs had maps...except...where were the Hufflepuffs?
...okay. Well, that answered that. She turned back to Lola.
"So I guess we pay up now?" she suggested.
"Looks like your yellow mermaid will be the first to drown." She smirked, knowing that would get a rise out of Lola. ...but wait. What if it had negative results? What if Lola refused to give it up?
"Oh, I mean...not drown. She will dive wonderfully into a beautiful mermaid haven, and then she'll repay us for being so nice to her by showing us the location we need to get to."
...wow. That sounded insane.
