[Vertiline Fortescue]

The Words: blah The Outfit: blah The Notes (:

Trembling with excitement, Vertiline snuggled on the Ravenclaw couch. It was the day after New Years Day, which meant everyone was getting back into the swing of their normal schedules. Verty, however, was too hyped up on candy to think about getting back to a schedule at all. Instead, she continue to bounce up and down, slightly, as she watched the fire. After about an hour, though, she began to calm down a bit. She cuddled into the couch a bit deeper and closed her eyes, listening to the fire crackling. Its warmth was pleasant on her naturally cold skin. Being up in a tower didn't help the warmth situation, either, but the fire seemed to contrast the cold temperature well.
Vertiline ignored the few footsteps she heard through the common room and tried to pay attention to falling asleep. It wasn't working that well, though. However, she did continue to try and rest. Her eyes were plastered closed, though she could hear everything going on. Well, not much was going on, really, but still. Verty bit her lower lip occasionally between yawning. Once settled into the couch, she had thought she was just asleep. Suddenly, though, something woke her. She grumbled, then opened her eyes and looked up to see who, or what, had disturbed her peace.

[Olive Lovegood]

Things were finally starting to set back to normal after winter break at Hogwarts, something that Olive Lovegood was most pleased about. She did so love her schooling at Hogwarts, so to be back was as much a blessing as it was a curse. Blessing because she got to learn and be around her friends in the magical school that all magical children were taught at, curse because it meant being separated once more from her eldest siblings Oxford and Alice. Not that she couldn’t see them on Hogsmeade weekends, but those visits didn’t come near enough in her opinion. Sighing thoughtfully she made her way up to Ravenclaw tower from the library to get ready for bed. It was rather late, and the common room was nearly empty except for a form she could see curled up before the fire.

Furrowing her brow slightly, she smiled and walked over to the form, taking a seat on the couch next to it. It was a girl, she could see, rather small so perhaps a first year. The girl grumbled and opened her eyes, looking at Olive with somewhat distaste, and Olive just gave a smile. “You know,” She started, pointer finger to her lips as she looked up as if in deep thought, “you should probably head up to the dormitories. It is rather late.” She didn’t want to sound like she was reprimanding the girl, she wasn’t, it was just a mere suggestion. “Unless!” she said with excitement. “Are we having a common room slumber party?” She said it lowly and with a slight giggle.

That was Olive’s perpetual peppyness at play. She was always rather happy, smiling and perhaps a bit airheaded – or so it seemed. Everything was a great excitement to Olive Lovegood, her nature always happy and perhaps just a little odd. But she cared not for being branded as such. She would be herself at all times, no matter what. Smiling to the girl she started to speak once more, “You know, we could always have a common room slumber party! What do you say, friend?” She didn’t know the girls name so she substituted it with the word friend, because in Olive’s mind everyone was a friend. Indeed, a stranger was just a friend she’d yet to meet.

Her brows furrowed once more as she looked at the girl. “Oh I’ve forgotten my manners. I’m Olive Lovegood. What shall I call you?” She looked at the girl with a slight incline of her head as she waited a response.
