Still new to the wonders of the magical world, the thought that a ghost could be the prankster messing with her whiteboard never really occurred to her until Roze mentioned the idea, noting that there was a particularly mischievous ghost known as Peeves living in the castle. Before she could respond and ask Roze what they should do if they were in fact being haunted by a trickster ghost, a boy with brown hair and dark blue eyes plopped down next to Roze. It was clear to Dani that the boy was nervous about talking to them even before he opened his mouth to introduce himself, what with the sheepish grin he gave them and the rest of his body language.
Not trusting the ghost to leave her whiteboard alone long enough for her to properly respond to the boy's introduction, Dani figured that she would let Roze introduce the both of them, hopefully explaining that Dani was mute. So, instead, Dani offered a friendly smile to the boy who's name was similar to her own. Hopefully, Rose would get why Dani wasn't trying to use the whiteboard and introduce her as well. Dani certainly didn't want to be rude to the newcomer, especially after he put his face in his hands, apparently bothered by his tongue-tiedness.
The ghost took that moment to burst into sight through the table, sending bits of food flying everywhere and generally making a mess. Despite the fact that no one else seemed to be amused by his antics, the squat old ghost was having a jolly old time playing practical jokes on the students who had somehow not noticed the entire spectacle happening at the Ravenclaw table. When he noticed Daniel, he pointed a finger at him and made fun of how the boy's family was apparently cursed with a lack of punctuality, his lateness to the school being a prime example of said curse.
Unfortunately, Dani had no idea how to go about standing up for the newcomer, as she routinely failed to stand up for herself on a regular basis. And Roze, being as hotheaded as she was, probably wasn't going to be of much help, seeing as how she had been one of the first years to actually fight with the Slytherin Quidditch team on the train the day before according to the rumours. Hopefully, she wouldn't do anything too rash and wind up getting them all in trouble, but Dani couldn't really think of anything to do but watch and hope for the best.
