....hmph.

Issy couldn't help but feel a bit miffed that everyone else got to rant on without her. She hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise! Granted, they were all upset and talking about the same stuff they'd all wanted to say.

But she just wanted an edge in on the action.

And weren't they going to allow Willow to speak about whatever first? Sigh. Suddenly, Head of House in sight, they'd become a mob of uncontrolled girls.

Taking a breath, she tried to summarize all the main points in her head. Flowers equal allergies equal uncertain death equal bad publicity for the Ministry. No books defeats the purpose of the Ravenclaw Common Room and forces students to go to the library where they can be bothered by other people. Ravenclaw equals blue equals why so ugly equals where's the blue? Portratis of togas equals breakfast coming back up equals sick day equals homework pile equals falling behind equals point loss for Ravenclaw. And nightmares.

"In summary," she began, feeling big and important by beginning in such a manner. And just for that, she tipped her head up, thrusting her chin out in typical "I'm bigger than I seem" Issy manner, she continued. "Flowers in a Common Room are a no-no for students who are allergic. No one should have to have a potion just so they can breathe in their own living spaces. Portraits of grown men in togas is gaggy and makes me feel queasy and I will probably have nightmares tonight. If they're permanently stuck to the walls, perhaps we can cover them? With a blue banner! Because Ravenclaw's are blue and bronze and there's really none of that in there. What kind of House spirit is that? Our pets come to school with us to be with us. My skunklettes have never had to sleep without me and probably wouldn't understand me shooing them from the bed, and I'm sure many others have animals in the same boat as me. Also, Ravenclaws are known for thirst of knowledge. How can we indulge in this thirst if we haven't any books around?

"Professor, we're practically living in a museum up there, you saw it! With as clean and tidy and perfect and white and urk! We are growing girls, not dainty little ladies. There's too much lace, too! Would it be so harmful for us to lay around stacks of books and hang a banner or two? Even stick up a Ravenclaw crest? Honestly! No one wants to be in there and that place is supposed to be our home! Just now, we've proposed a few ideas. What we want is permission. Not from Belle. But from you. Can you do that for us?"

Oh, sweet diplomacy.

As she ended, Issy was standing tall (er... as tall as she could) and rigid, hands on her hips, chin in the air, eyes wide with feigned innocence.

If only the boys could see her now!
