Confidence and an appreciation of geek culture often made people think a girl was masculine. So what harm was there in that?
“Dot, let me first say congratulations on your WHiM designs they were great,” she meant it. It wasn’t that she was trying to smooth the little snake’s scales no, that would just be a perk of a well, job well done? Still Dot’s questions were actually understandable.
“That’s the thing, I think if it were a girl they would have tried to exaggerate my personality and mannerisms…” she nodded, “that and I’m certain it was Cutty because of how he ate the raspberries…” she informed kindly laughed when she heard Cutty’s response.
Oh? Dot thought the threat was real? “Oh Dot don’t worry if anyone actually threatened Cutty I’d come to his defense…I was just letting him know that I knew” she informed and grinned. “Besides, he’s a friend. I’d never actually hurt him.” She informed. He was a slytherin, and she was well…”besides, if you really know me you would know that I’m more Slytherin than Gryffindor” she admitted. It was the truth. She was a snake in lions clothing.
No one was reacting correctly, and it really really bugged Dot. Not that she wanted Puck (and Rorie) to be mad at her, but she didn't want her well-crafted ire to be laughed at. Why did people always laugh at her when she wanted to be taken seriously? It was ugh-inducing.
She sulked a little, although mention of her second place win (to Puck... ugh again?) did brighten her back up a bit. "You're not making much sense. You must take confusion classes from Cutty. But thank you, and also... you too. Your designs were really pretty."
As for her threatening Cutty, and it somehow being okay because they were friends... that wasn't anything like friendship in Dot's world. "You could dress in snakeskin head to toe, but you're a Gryffindor all the way to your cream-filled center. 'sides, you probably shouldn't threaten your friends." Because knowing Cutty and Rainbow Rorie, too many threats and they'd stop playing so nicely.

"Anyways, have a good summer, Dot? Since you stayed out of trouble and all," he added with a polite smile. This summer had been AWESOME for him, so he assumed everyone ELSE had a great summer too.
Once he'd made sure that Rorie and Dot weren't going to kill each other, he turned his attention to Puck, his co-prefect who had decided to join them. AHA! SO IT WAS CUTTY! The prefect was talking to her, and based on how closely he'd watched her chat up Rorie and Puck, she'd PROBABLY have to be on good behavior. Dot turned her attention back to the older boy, eyeing him dubiously for all those big disarming grins he was bestowing. Suspicious.
"Sir is a sign of respect, not of age. I don't sir even every grandpa, but I sir you. So." So deal with it. "I had a good summer. I took dance classes with my Kyroh friend and my baby brother is learning to walk and I went swimming so much my hair turned GREEN for a bit and I got 18 new freckles. What did you do?" It probably wasn't as good at hers, but hopefully it was interesting.

Coming back, she cleared her throat and straightened herself up. "Understood and like Puck says, it wasn't sincere. It was...a joke, I suppose." Look, Cutty, look! She was being mature. The redhead had a point though. Ror did have the best hair in the house. Haaaairrr fliiiiipp. Peace handshakes all around. "Oh, a joke?" Dot cast a skeptical eye at Puck before looking at Rorie again. And her glorious hair. So much jealousy was burning in her soul right now. "It's okay... I'm not very funny either. Funny works better for people who are really clever, you know? Ravenclaws... they're really funny." Dot was just silly, which wasn't the same thing.
"Can you show me how to get my hair to be that color?"

A redhead who was madly in love with him. Cutty didn't even blame her.
It was an interesting reaction from Rorie to Dot and Dot to Puck for that matter. Slytherins may or may not be loyal. In Cutty's experience it all depended, really. So if it wasn't loyalty, what was it? Some kinda previous beef? Or perhaps a little friend-to-friend obligation? He'd seen Rorie do worse tough and so perhaps there was some level of hesitation. His disgusting ego, being what it was, figured that Rorie was only holding back to impress him. To show him how not troublesome she could be so that he'd agree to be her pseudoboyfie and Damien would come crawling back. He was touched.
"I'm very distinct in my raspberry eating. I like to savor the flavour." He confirmed before turning his head and kissing Puck's cheek. Platonically of course. At her explaining of how Cutty and Puck operated to the young Charlotte. And there was Cutty heard from. Or not heard from, since he totally ignored her own threats, her frustration, all her blasted FEELINGS about whether or not to hex off his face, and comment on raspberries. AS IF ANYONE CARED ABOUT HIS LOVE OF RASPBERRIES.
She sighed loudly. Dramatically. With greatest theatricality, and a hair toss for good measure. "You're stupid and infuriating and you don't even care. There's something broken between your mouth and your eyes, Cutty, and it makes my brain hurt. And I'm not speaking to you again until I have my revenge for what you did to Kyroh." Pause pause pause. "But then we can be friendly-like again."
BUT ONLY AFTER REVENGE.

She listened to the older girl, her face lighting up further. “Wow! Does he come to say hello to us?” That was the COOLEST. “Do you ever see the mermaids?” The new girl. Dot would focus on her. Tabby cat, the new girl. Blue eyes rolled playfully, although perhaps she should warn Tabby cat that Slytherin boys were the worst. The. Worst. "My real name is Charlotte, but no one calls me that. My dad called me after his mum, so she was Charlotte and I was Dot since I was born." Or maybe a few days after, since she wasn't clear on when she was abandoned and became a Wojack.
"Oh, the squid? Yeah, he visits. And mermaids too, although they're not beautiful like you'd expect. There's a shark too, I think, only he disguises himself as a water plant. And then there are real water plants." It was basically a great place to sit and watch stuff, since they didn't have proper windows.

There was an interested look from Adi... and plus he was totally thrilled that she would go along with his idea. "Of course I promise! Who would disobey a direct order from the Queen?" As long as it did not involve him having to go into the Snake common room... not only because other students were not allowed there but he also did not think the Bloody Baron would take very kindly to that if the ghost was around at any of those particular moments. "I'm not really a queen, silly. But you're older and smarter and nicer than me, so maybe you'll help me if I send you a paper airplane anyway," Dot didn't really want to be obeyed. She wanted to be... revered. Not feared, but adored. There was an important difference, y'know?
"Are you glad to be back at school? Or did you have such a very good summer that you miss it?"
