| | Fat Lady's Portrait If you're wandering around the seventh-floor corridor and you suddenly have the urge to cover your ears, you know you're steadily approaching the Fat Lady's portrait. While it isn't an uncommon fact that the vocal portrait guards the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room, getting past the Fat Lady without the correct password is no easy feat. Her passion for tip-top security is just as great as her love for good food and drink.
Though the Fat Lady is very particular about who she allows to pass through the portrait hole, she really doesn't mind anyone hanging around in the corridor. At every opportune moment, she will insist that you stop to listen to her "amazing" singing voice or engage in very loud conversation about the latest gossip. Even the Gryffindors themselves have to put up with the antics of this loud and flamboyant woman -- sometimes she won't even let them inside their common room until she is satisfied with their response to her singing or finds the gossip juicy enough to go share with her friend Violet. OOC: Please do not role-play for the Fat Lady.

Coulson Bradshaw Law Enforcement | Mansa :3 Ern's Walmart Greeter Matty was on a mission.
His best friend was inside. At least..... she might be and that was good enough reason for him to want to go in. So... he just.... maybe... kinda... had to sweet talk Miss Lady into letting him in. Or something. He needed Emma and it was making his insides all twisty 'cause he didn't know how to reach Emma other than finding her and they were supposed to be in the same house. Everything was suddenly a lot more difficult than it was supposed to and Matthew Rider-Mae was NOT. HERE. FOR. IT. "Miss Lady?"
Was she even there?

Was she even there? Valentina headed out of her common room with a bag messily packed with a couple of textbooks, some parchments and quills as she looked forward to some quiet and happy time with the ducks. She was planning to get some homework done too obviously.. but more excited to hang out with her new feathered friends. The girl was too lost in her thoughts to notice the boy standing outside... and ended up bumping into him. Oops. “I’m so SORRY!” She looked at him wide eyes, immediately recognising him. They had studied at St. Woboldo’s together. “Matty, hi!”

They had studied at St. Woboldo’s together. “Matty, hi!” He hadn't exactly seen her coming (the portrait did cover the exit hole and all), but he was certainly in close enough range for the portrait to hit him as it opened. Luckily enough, it hadn't been enough to knock him over but it WAS enough to hurt. Plenty of hurt.
Rubbing the point of contact, he was about to make a comment accusing the portrait lady but inSTEAD, he was greeted by a familiar face and an apology. "Oh, uh, hey, it's okay! Not your fault." How was she supposed to know he'd been standing there? "Where are you off to?"

How was she supposed to know he'd been standing there? "Where are you off to?" Valentina BEAMED. “I’m off to the duck pond!! It’s my new favourite spot outside the castle.” She, now, had to find a favourite spot inside the castle. She pushed her long blonde hair behind her slim shoulders, her greyish blue eyes watching him keenly. “Were you waiting for someone?”

She pushed her long blonde hair behind her slim shoulders, her greyish blue eyes watching him keenly. “Were you waiting for someone?” Still rubbing the point of contact, which was a touch sore but fading fast. "It's a nice spot. Not really all that good for homework," water and all, "so i've kinda been hanging around other places but.. yeah. I uh, like the courtyard." Nice and relaxing. Fresh air and sunshine abound. "Sort of? I was kinda hoping I could go inside, rather than someone just kinda coming out?" Really really hoping he can convince the Miss Lady that he was a nice respectable boy and an honorary Gryffindor. That didn't really seem like a lot to ask, ya know?

Really really hoping he can convince the Miss Lady that he was a nice respectable boy and an honorary Gryffindor. That didn't really seem like a lot to ask, ya know? “It’s a GREAT place for homework!” ..... but he did have a point, kind of. She was almost always distracted by the ducks to actually get any work done. “Oh, I like the courtyard too! And the boathouse as well. This place has some really good hangout spots!” And there were still a few places she hadn’t gotten around to visiting yet.
Valentina nodded, smiling a little. She didn’t mind helping out friends. “I can take you inside, if you want.” .....right? She could do that, yeah? It wasn’t like she’d get in trouble for that or anything. Hopefully.
