 Mod Babysitter | be curious, not judgmental
When Sophie bounced into the common room, despite her cheery demeanor, she was a girl on a MISSION. A mission to find out ALL THE COOL THINGS to sign-up for and do throughout the year. She had time. Even more time than she'd have in her third year when she could pick up more fun classes, right? So... why NOT join a bunch of stuff now to make it easier to balance those things when coursework picked up? She could handle it right now. She needed things to do when she wasn't in class or studying or going on adventures and joining clubs and stuff would be super useful in meeting all the cool, well-known kids around school, right?
A bit disappointed to see so few announcements on the board near the door, Sophie let her pointer finger trace allll the way down the notice about Quidditch tryouts. Tryouts. Hah. Quidditch. Hah. She could probably pull that off. She was small and agile and fast and had pretty good eyesight (she poked at the skin under her eyes as she thought about it) and could probably be a suitable Seeker or something. Or... probably pretty fearlessly smack someone with a bludger. It was just a game, right? No one would be upset with her? She didn't think she could be a good Keeper, probably... she figured she was too small to effectively throw her body in front of a hoop the way Max could... Chaser might not be bad either. Hm.
She could give it a shot. She'd need Captain Mo to hook her up with a broom, though. Would he have a super cool, top-notch spare one laying around that she could use if she made the team? That would be a lot of fun. Or maybe she could make some kind of deal with her Head of House. That funny Elwood character. Sophie made a mental note to go get on her good side later.
Scanning the rest of the board for other announcements - Gobstones, a book club, anything - she found none, and resigned to giving the board a small nod of recognition. Just class announcements. She could dig that. Classes were important, too.
Turning around to survey her surroundings properly, she noticed Mo was there and she could probably go talk to him about Quidditch, but she still wasn't too sure about him. And Aidan was there, but he still looked grumpy. Even more than he had at the opening feast, in fact. So Sophie was just going to... casually make her way to the dormitory. She needed some Droobles before going to track down Elwood. Maybe the blue bubbles would make the woman happy. Blue bubbles for Ravenclaw, yeah? A display of house spirit?
Worth a shot.
