be curious, not judgmental

Louisa and Viv joined Max and Vickers by the wall soon enough. Max gave both of the girls nods in agreement to their statements, quite glad that Vivi was there in particular. She was undoubtedly the most aggressive of them all. Or, at least, she would likely be the first to save everyone from harm with ease.

When the door slammed shut near him, he jumped and stood up straighter, no longer leaning against the wall. He eyed those nearby who had more frightened reactions to the slam, then turned his gaze to the new door that had appeared. He took a long moment to read over the message twice.

Oh.

That was easy enough, wasn't it?

Max felt like Ravenclaws had a little bit of an advantage here, since they had to answer some kind of riddle every time they wanted to enter the common room. And the older kids had an advantage - which was, of course, fantastic because it was quite likely that he or the three Ravenclaw seventh years near him would win the exemption from homework.

Quickly pulling a piece of parchment from the bag over his shoulder, Max removed a self-inking quill along with it. He turned his gaze back to the riddle, read it quickly for just a moment, then scribbled on his parchment, using his knee as a table. Easy enough.

SPOILER!!: Max's parchment
Ghosts

He folded the paper, slipped through the crowd, and pushed it through the mail slot on the door.
