Let's see how long he could talk, annoying them, till they got irritated, caused something, then he or Biter would attack them with their bats or Biter would bare her teeth at them.
Obviously Tag was being a good host student here.
"I've got nothing better to do. Yeah." He said with a smirk. So, yeah, let's see how long this will last.
Also Tag's name was a child's game. That's what made it special. In fact he stressed that whenever he told people his name. He liked it for that very reason, he could make a short story out of it.
Karina shrugged. It wasn't up to her what "Tag" did with his time; if he wanted to question her schoolmate, go right ahead. It was time that could probably be put better towards studying, homework, or acquiring social skills and the ability to notice social ques. Didn't he realize that Vilhelm didn't want to talk?

"You wouldn't happen to have seen a kneazle running around, have you?"
And another girl (Lilly), just sitting by herself. That must have been awfully lonely....or just plain boring. "HAI you! Whatchu doooin'? Something we can all join in on?" Or not all seeing as SOMEONE (Vilhelm) was being a spoil sport. "Oi! We believe in thorough communication and camaraderie in this den. You either make nice with us or sleep outside with the fat lady. No exceptions. Tag, you should have mentioned that." They were a close knit Pride, one didn't simply come in and snub them. Ruuuuude.
Kneazle? No kneazles around here, were Hogwarts students even allowed to have a kneazle as a pet? Karina shook her head slightly, because she knew that if she didn't give some sort of response to this particular Gryffindor, she would just be pestered for the rest of the night. Alexa was her name, correct? Yes, Karina remembered this one from Hogsmeade, and she remembered the other girl was
very talkative. And curious about Karina in general. The other reason why she acknowledged the girl was because she didn't want to be left outside the common room to sleep. She was sure it would only happen for one night until they realized that they probably shouldn't mess with Karina Wozniacki, but it would still be a long night in the hallway. So she remained polite to the Gryffindors, but still did not speak.

The foreigner was only spared a glance, though; the sixth year's gaze flickered back to Schuyler soon enough.
After focusing on Alexa began to give her a headache, she roamed her eyes around the room until they locked with another Hogwartian. She raised her eyebrows questioningly- was there a problem? Before moving her gaze past the girl and back to Vilhelm when he spoke. Thankfully in Swedish.

I am more nervous for the second one though. And you?" As Karina spoke to the Hogwarts boy, he nodded the smallest bit to show his approval. Karina spoke the truth, talking boy.
Speaking in Swedish, she responded.
"I am not nervous, but just... I have anticipation. I don't know how this next one will go, and we cannot get second place again." she nodded once firmly to show her resolve, a resolve she knew the rest of her team shared.
