Emily said in what she hoped was an assertive tone, but it came out as barely more than a whisper compared to the loud noises the first years were making, and they paid no attention to her. She shrunk down in her seat. It wasn't any different than normal for her to go unnoticed, anyways.

After a few seconds, the noise became unbearable, and she sat up and walked out of the common room, heading down a hallway. She'd just have to find somewhere uninfested with childish first years and get back to her homework in peace.
