Gryffindor Common Room -- Open
Pansy had never felt so odd at Hogwarts, not even when she had sat under the Sorting Hat, as she now did going to the Gryffindor common room at curfew. She returned from the library and gave back every curious or nasty glance as she joined the informal queue in front of the portrait. Once inside, she paused to view the room, having decided she wouldn't simply disappear into her dormitory. There were some empty chairs, particularly those at tables, so she went to one and put her school things on the table. Pansy seated herself, crossed her legs, straightened a pleat in her skirt, reached for her sketchbook and flipped it open. She began to sketch. As her hand moved, the emerald signet ring would catch the light and glow green in the otherwise foreign red and gold of Gryffindor.
