{ooc: first post to Lorraine.}
Amira walked down the hall her blond hair in a pony tail. She wore black jeans with a gold shirt. Her footsteps barely made a sound. The blond crept into the broom closet.
She bent down. "Orion," the puff whispered. The door opened. Amira climbed down the steps. "Be careful on the steps. Most people fall down them," she said smiling and making sure the girl didn't fall.

Lorraine wandered ponderously after the Hufflepuff student, mouth gaping at all the wonderful wonderfulness that was this school. From what she'd seen so far, Firefox University was just as glamorous and grand as all the other schools she'd been at previously, though the school's entrance arch had looked a tad bit sloppy.
Her feelings of mild disconcert at Amira approaching a broom closet soon dissipated after Lorraine's brain slowly put together that the floor was indeed the entrance to the common room. Orion orion orion, she thought. Maybe it's the magic word to make the big wooden badger move? ....Onions, sounds like onions, she mused, cheered at this prospect. That would hopefully make it easier to remember the password, seeing as how Lorraine was quite fond of onions--unfortunately, it was also quite probable she would forget "Orion" and simply babble "onion" at the floor, mystified as to why the trapdoor would not open.
The girl nodded vaguely at the advice, somewhat daunted at the prospect of descending a ladder. Hand-eye coordination had never been one of her strong points. At least she didn't need to be lugging down her enormous trunk at the same time.
Lorraine edged her way haphazardly down the rungs, nearly tripping down the last one. The trapdoor above fell closed smartly, and she absently wondered if she'd be able to get back up the ladder in the morning. Easily shaking it out of her mind, the girl took a good look at the room she had descended to. It gave off a very cheery, homey feel, and Lorraine visibly relaxed in the pleasant environment. "It's so warm and sunny in here," she mumbled amiably.

Amira watched as the girl came down the ladder. On the last step Lorraine almost tripped on the last one. "Well, this is the common room. The girls dorms are over there," she said pointing to each one.
The blond went closer to the girl to hear what she was saying. She heard bits and pieces. "Yeah," she agreed not able to really hear what the girl was saying.

"Dorms," she repeated, nodding agreeably. Dorms were the staple of all magic boarding houses, she decided. "Can I see my room? I'd like--" A movement suddenly caught her eye. A scrabbly, wiggly movement, to be exact. Lorraine abruptly plunged into a squat, gray eyes bright with a sudden manic gleam. "Look! Look at this beetle!" A white, spidery hand flashed with probably more energy than Lorraine had for the whole past month, gently plucking up a squirming purple sheen. The girl haphazardly raised her arm in Amira's general direction, lethargically waving her new find. "Isn't its purple shell so pretty? I've never seen such a pretty beetle before!"

Amira watched as the girl looked around and suddenly bent down to pick up something. It was a purple beetle. Amira stepped back. A beetle? she thought. "Yes, it is pretty. Are you going to keep that?" she said nodding toward the beetle.
"You want to see your room. It's over here," she said walking over and trying to get the beetle out of her head. She opened the door allowing Lorriane to go first.

Seemingly oblivious to the other girl's clear discomfort, Lorraine beamed at Amira's apparent agreement. "It is really really pretty, isn't it? I wonder if it's magic too...!" The girl lowered her hand, peering more closely at the agitated bug. "Humm, maybe I will keep him. I think he looks like a Kelly. Hi Kelly, how are you today?" she asked placidly.
"You want to see your room. It's over here."
"Okaaay," Lorraine sang cheerfully, ascending slowly into an upright position. She shuffled through the open door, chirping a pleasant "thank you" at the Hufflepuff for holding the door.

Amira watched as Lorraine was naming and talking to her newly found pet bug. I'm glad she has happily made a new friend, she thought silently to herself smiling. She gave a little nod to the girl when she said thank you.
Amira followed after the hufflepuff. Her white sneakers were almost soundless. The door closed shut behind them. "This is your room. Do you like it?" the blond asked glancing at the bug in Lorraine's hand. She looked around the room.

Lorraine blinked, smiling vacantly as she looked around the room, setting her buggy friend on her shoulder. It immediately began to scrabble around, quickly disappearing into the girl's hair. Seemingly unperturbed, Lorraine wandered to the bed that had her trunk at the foot of it. "Wow. Everything looks so niiice here." She turned to Amira, looking somewhat bemused. "And look, look, my trunk got here before I did." The blonde seated herself on it again, looking dreamily around.
