This is not a shouting match, but it could get that way any moment now.
"I'm not impugning your quality, Mr. Ollivander, but if you don't want to sell me a wand -"
"I have sold you a wand, Miss Swan, and if you say it does not suffice for your purposes I do not see how else I could possibly interpret you."
"Only in quantity!" she says. "I just want two."
"With an attitude like that you might one day find yourself in possession of two pieces -"
"That's exactly the sort of reason I want a second! If you won't sell me one -"
"I have sold you one, good day, Miss Swan!" Ollivander turns to the next customer. "Pardon her. What can I do for you today?"

...is a girl today.
She will probably have to ask her Head of House about that, won't she.

Her Head of House is Professor Slughorn. The prefects mentioned last night where his office is; it's not far from the Slytherin dormitory.

She wonders if she has time before breakfast, or between breakfast and Charms, to go talk to Professor Slughorn.
Before breakfast will do if she can find the hall on her own and eat fast.

She most definitely can eat fast!
...she's not entirely certain she can find the hall on her own.
She decides to ask one of the older years...
A wicked smile creeps up her face as she spots a certain older boy leaving the boys' dormitories. "Hey, Arens!" she calls out, walking towards him.
He looks at her and frowns. "Do I know you?"
"Where's Slughorn's office?" she asks instead of answering.
His frown still clouds his features but he gives her instructions on how to get there.
"Thanks! And by the way, it's Woods!" she calls out over her shoulder as she bolts.
The last thing she sees is bewildered comprehension dawning on the boy's face. Does that count as mischief? Eh, probably not.

Slughorn...

...of course he is.
She sighs and darts towards the Great Hall. She's not in the habit of eating much, so she can probably just grab a muffin or something.

There are various grabbable pastries, and, at the head table, a Slughorn.

Sadde grabs a muffin! And, should Miranda and Willow be there and see her, waves at them, before stopping before her Head of House.

Wave!
Slughorn is a little surprised to be addressed, but nonetheless says, "Hello, Miss...?"

"Woods," she supplies. "I'm one of the new students, and there's a tiny problem with the whole, erm, dorm thing."
"Is there? What is it?" Slughorn inquires.
always_and_forever
"—more or less intermittently," she starts explaining. "Which, you see, conflicts a bit with the gender segregation thingamabob," she says, and takes a bite of her muffin.
"Where did you sleep last night?" inquires Slughorn.
"Is there some reason you cannot continue to do that? While, of course, not alarming your roommates with - nocturnal femininity."

"Well, a few? I mean, I don't particularly care whether I sleep in the boys' dorm or the girls' dorm, though I do care some about having to always go to bed as a boy, but I can't exactly," she gestures at herself, "hide that I'm not a boy 100% of the time. So even if I did in fact always go to bed as a boy all the other boys would know that I was not, in fact, always a boy, and many times had not been a boy all day or for the previous few days, bedtime excepted." Om nom muffin.
Slughorn sighs. "Well, if being a boy at the times you are in the boy's room does not suffice for the other boys, send them to me," he says.

She shrugs, swallows the bit of muffin in her mouth, and says, "Alright. Also, question, am I allowed to eat at a table other than Slytherin's?"
"There's not formally a rule against it, but if the other students who belong to the table's House want you to leave you better had."

She nods, thanks him, and goes check if there's space for her with Miranda and Willow.
