| | Girls' Dorms Up a set of spiral staircase from the common room sits a set of doorways leading to the girls dorms. Each of these dorms are divided up by year groups with wooden plaques on each of the doors to tell you which one is which.
Enter the dorm and you'll find that it's been decorated in a similar fashion to the common room below. A number of four poster beds have been placed to fit the right number of people allocated to said dorm. The furniture is made of the same walnut wood and sky blue eiderdowns can be found here, along with silk drapes around the poster beds.
The same arched windows that are found in the common room can be found here as well, each giving the inhabitant a spectacular view of the grounds below. It's interesting to note that these windows often emit a soft whistling sound that is reminiscent of the whistling of the wind outside. While it may seem distracting, these sounds are often said to be relaxing and hardly noticeable after a while.
These dormitories are strictly for the girls of the house only. No boys allowed. |

The dorms were interesting and the bed was okay. She wished it was a little more comfortable, but with all the excitement lately, she was tired enough to not mind. Going through her trunk she found a few stuffed animals she brought from home and lined her bed.
Looking around the room, she couldn't help but wonder what the other girls were like. She met a few already, but what about the rest? Would they all become best friends or would they maybe not like her or maybe she wouldn't like them. What if they were trying out for the same position as she was for quidditch, what if they didn't like her German accent, what if her hair wasn't done the right way? This was more exhausting then the sorting hat she decided and laid down with her face in her pillow.

Tinka entered the Ravenclaw girls' dorm to deliver one last trunk. Once it was sitting by the owners bed, she noticed a young girl placing stuffed animals on her bed. "Miss Chloe need help from Tinka? Tinka like to help studentsies."

This was more exhausting then the sorting hat she decided and laid down with her face in her pillow. Olivia was ready for bed. She was on her pyjamas and tiptoed towards her own space. She could only see one person at the room. She saw her get sorted earlier. If she remembered it right, the name would be McCartheee. She missed her first name.
She watched the McCartheee girl squish her face on her pillow.
Now sitting by her own bed to the direction of the only girl in the room, she started to speak while un-braiding her hair, "Hi. Lots of plushies you got there." Olivia had one back home too.
The girl could use some talking, really.
And then suddenly, an elf appeared. "Hi Tinka." |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Katarina Emily Denaker First Year | Fluttery Pegasi Quinn entered the dorm room, hiding a yawn behind her hand. Casually, she scanned the room, noting the two other girls Oli from the train and Chloe from the feast, and the house elf, but didn't address them, save for a friendly smile at Tinka. She spotted her trunk by a bed (the one Tinka had just brought in, in fact) and made her way silently as ever to it.
Quinn opened her trunk, pulling out a few things and placing the upon the nightstand.
Then she reached back and hesitate, as if unsure. She glanced first at Oli, then at Chloe, before her eyes fell on Chloe's small menagerie of plush animals and lingered on them.
Relaxing just a bit, Quinn pulled out a single, solitary plush giraffe and placed it upon her bed. "My parents thought giraffes were exotic," she explain, giving Chloe a slightly sheepish smile. It was Chloe, right? Or was Chloe the older girl? "It is Chloe, isn't it?" "What do you think of Hogwarts so far?" She asked, looking first at Chloe, then Oli, and finally Tinka. She was curious about the House elf's opinion as well.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tinka the house elf | "Miss Olivia, Miss Quinn" Tinka greeted the girls with a slight bow. "Tinka finish put away trunksies. Need help from Tinka?" She didn't exactly wish to help. Toddles should have been putting the items away and cleaning up so she could be working in the kitchen, whisking up something yummy for the studenties.

Chloe didn't usually get scared easy, no, she had two brother's at home, but since no one was in the room and now someone was talking to her with her head in the pillow she jumped and turned quickly. "Oh you scared me." She wasn't all that use to elves coming into her room since her parents didn't own one. "No, I don't think I need help with anything. Is there something you usually help with?" She had been tired and hadn't even thought about fully unpacking anything.
Her eyes moved when hearing a voice, when did another girl come in. She recognized not only one, but now two that had showed up and gave them a little smile. "Thank you, they are my favorite and I couldn't just leave them behind." Scooping up her kitten and setting her on her lap she watched the other girls talk to Tinka, "Oh are you muggleborn? My mum is too. I find is so neat, my great grandparents use to live near us when they were alive, they were muggles and it was so fun."
Looking back towards the other girl she smiled, "Yes I'm Chloe, I"m sorry, I met so many at the feast I don't remember either of your names, but I"ll get better, especially since we are dorm mates now!" She was excited about having roommates.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Katarina Emily Denaker First Year | Fluttery Pegasi Quinn smiled at Tinka warmly. "No, I think I'm fine. You've been excellent help already though. Thank you for bring our trunks up."
She glanced back up at the other two girls as she continued to unpack things a little. Most of the unpacking will wait until tomorrow, but for tonight, she was making her space a little more...her. Wait, who was Chloe asking if they were muggleborn too? Her or Oli? "Me?" She shook her head. "No, pureblood." She came from a long, proud and noble, pureblood family, as her parents liked to claim. While it was true she came from an old pureblood family, they were, honestly, nothing to be proud of and certainly weren't noble. Quite the opposite really. Her family hadn't exactly been the good sort of purebloods back in the day. Her great, great grandparents had been Deatheaters during both Wizarding Wars. No one exactly talked about that anymore, for obvious reasons.
Quinn gave Chloe an uncertain smile. This would be the first time Quinn has shared a room with anyone, let alone several girls all at once. It would, honestly, take her a lot of getting used to. "Quinn," she said, reintroducing herself.
She sighed, knowing her new roommates were probably expecting more from her. As much as other people tend to give at least. "So...Listen. If we don't chat a lot, sorry. It's not that I don't like you, or that I'm trying to be rude, honestly. It's more that I prefer to keep to myself." Honesty, she felt, was best at the moment. After all, she was going to be sharing a room with them for the next seven years. Perhaps, getting that out of the way would them see she wasn't exactly trying to be short, or unfriendly, it was just who she was.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Olivia Hurst First Year | Vine|| Erin Heyman <3 || Tagalog Forum || RonMione forever || ENGR <333 "Thank you for your help Tinka. Please thank the other House Elves too for bringing up all our trunks." What would they do without them? Olivia smiled at Tinka once again before glancing up at Quinn and gave her a wave. It looked like she's going to share a room with Quinn for her entire Hogwarts years. "I'm happy I got sorted in Ravenclaw." She wasn't at all in good terms with her mother but she takes pride in her house and her Hogwarts' years too. "Just like my Mum and my Aunt, also my grandmother." "Oh. Hi Chloe. I'm Olivia Hurst. You can call me Oli." She introduced herself beaming widely. "I'm a Pureblood witch but I was told that my Mum and my Aunt were both raised in Muggle ways. My Dad though, he was a Pureblood wizard. The entire Hurst family." There were stories that her father was of royal blood from the country far from here. His Great Great Great Grandparents were believed to be relatives to the now Crowned King of that country she forgotten the name. "I grew up with Muggle neighbors too, so yeah they're funny. Really funny." She giggled while reminiscing the fun she had with Ely while Muggle-watching. She would always watch them do things the hard way, even if there were easy ways.

| Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something... "Well you said about Giraffes so I wasn't sure." Not that Wizards didn't have them too, but having a family that went to both places she had always just placed them with more muggles then wizards. With a shrug, she didn't really care what people's blood status was and knew that her family was mixed because of her mom and that was fine. Her grandparents seemed to love her mother no matter that she had a muggle father, so Chloe loved everyone just the same. "Well my dad's side is pureblood, but no one seems to really care either way."
Her eyes did widen a little bit when Quinn said about not talking much, how did she expect them not to talk when they lived together, "Okay?" She wasn't even sure how to fully respond to the girl and she looked at Oli for help.
Focusing now more on Oli, but still including Quinn she beamed, "I have been so excited about having girls around. I only have two brother's and then my cousins come over and my best friend Xar, but this is great getting to have room mates!"
