Jina had just walked out of the common room when she ... forgot why she walked out. She rummaged in her bag to search for her timetable, but instead grabbed a random piece of cardboard. Oh, Flat Newt, hi! She had totally forgotten about this assignment, because she was so busy trying to remember all her other homework. Now would be a great time to get one more picture and some notes down. Very contrived, yes, but she thought Newt Scamander would actually have explored every nook and cranny of Hogwarts while he was here, including the entrances to all common rooms. He was probably also clever enough to answer the riddles well and gain entry to Ravenclaw tower.
She put Newt down, making him lean against the door. She thought he looked like a tourist posing in front of a famous landmark. Ah well ... Smiling, she snapped a picture with her camera.
The photograph unfortunately did not move due to whatever was happening at school. It was still decent, so Jina nodded and put the camera into her bag again. She moved some distance away from the knocker so that she was not blocking the way and sat down on the floor. She then took out her notebook and pencil (her self-inking quill had ceased to self-ink) and scribbled her ideas down:
Quote:
- exploring the castle, has heard stories about the other common rooms and wants to see them
- at first does not realise that he is standing in front of the Ravenclaw CR, shocked when he hears a riddle
- hazards a guess, turns out to be correct and gains entry!
- runs away, surprised, because he does not want to break rules unnecessarily
That was not the most interesting story, but she thought it was quite plausible. She packed up her things and continued down the corridor, before realising that she still did not know where to go. She looked in her bag once more and - oh no, Flat Newt! She hurried back to the knocker to pick up the cardboard cutout that she had left behind.
