Dani was rather glad that Roze had gotten the hint and introduced her to the new boy, even including the fact that she was mute before he could pester her with questions about why she wasn’t saying anything.  Peeves, apparently growing rather bored picking on Dan, turned his attention towards Roze and speculating that she was probably using her shape changing talent to hide the fact that she was ugly.  

Roze took it in good humor, mock threatening to hex him and give him a hairy chin, before introducing herself as the sister to a boy named Leo who had apparently been a comrade of the old ghost and suggesting that he might get a better reaction if he pranked the Slytherin Quidditch team by dumping a bowl of fish stew on their heads.

Dani, who had been finishing her meal in relative peace, couldn’t help but give Roze a disapproving look as the ghost went through with her suggestion.  To her, that kind of behavior went a little too far, even if Roze wasn’t on particularly friendly terms with the Slytherin Quidditch team for the events of the previous day.   From the shaking heads around the table, most of the other Ravenclaws didn’t approve of the ghost’s antics either, though it didn’t seem like they knew that Roze had had anything to do with it.  

Resolving to send the poor Slytherins an air freshener or two if she got the chance, Dani placed her utensils on her plate, unable to eat another bite despite having eaten very little, and grabbed her drink as the new boy explained that he had been Apparated, whatever that was, to the village outside the school because he had missed the train.  That’s when he noticed that Roze’s hair had changed color, asking why that was.

Dani, having never asked for an explanation due to feeling that she would be thought of as dumb if she did so, was kind of glad to hear that someone else had the same question, especially because that someone wasn’t a Muggleborn like she was.  Roze explained that she was something known as a Empathetic Metamorphmagus, and that her hair and eyes changed color according to her mood.  Honestly, Dani was a little disappointed with the explanation, as it did nothing to answer the why or how.

Roze, however, apparently felt that it was an adequate enough explanation, shifting the conversation to talk about Dan’s time in America, though Dani didn’t remember him mentioning where he was from.  Maybe Roze picked up on some clue that other Americans that she had met displayed?  Dani did notice that, shortly after asking the question, Roze seemed to be a bit more somber, though Dani couldn’t guess why that would be.

Feeling as though she would just be intruding on their conversation if she gave any input, Dani simply listened while she enjoyed her drink, her whiteboard at hand in case either of them wanted her to join in on the conversation despite how much it would slow everything down waiting on her.
