| | Gryffindor Common Room graphics by sweetpinkpixie The official home of the Lions, the Gryffindor common room, is found on the seventh floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The entrance to the common room is the portrait of the delightful Fat Lady, and in order to gain entrance to their home away from home, Lions must know the password and speak it to her.
This terms password is ‘Felix Felicis’.
Be sure to remember those words...and keep it a close secret, for it's the current password you'll need to speak in order for the Fat Lady to swing away from the hole and allow you to enter Gryffindor Tower. Once you're lucky enough to scramble through, you'll find that the common room is a circular area full of squashy armchairs and tables. To the side of the common room you will find the study tables and bookshelves equipped with all that you could need in order to complete your homework assignments, as well as the noticeboard for classes and other school announcements.
A window looks out onto the grounds of the school, and a large fireplace takes up one side of the wall. It's the perfect place to relax and hang out after a long day of classes. You are likely to find the latest edition of the Gryffindor Gazette on the central tables just waiting to be read. It’s always good to stay informed with your house and school news.
If however you are in need of a nap a good night's rest then there are two doors leading off from the common room that open to spiral staircases. Boys dormitories are upstairs and to the right, while girls dormitories are upstairs and to the left. Be sure you don’t go breaking any of the rules by attempting to go up the wrong staircases. Boys don’t stand a chance of beating the enchanted staircase, and frankly girls should know better.
For whatever reason you're here, make sure you take good care of your home away from home. There's bound to be a perfect or your Head of House lurking in the shadows. |

Emmaline entered the Common Room and gazed at the familiar crimson and gold tapestries. She spied the bookshelves across the room and itched to run over and start reading the first book she could get her hands on.

Ronnie excitedly walked up to the portrait of the fat lady. "Felix Felicis!" she squeaked excitedly. She could not wait to get in the Common Room. She felt as if she hadn't been there in years, even though it basically had been two. She bounced on her heels as the portrait hole slowly appeared in front of her. She excitedly ran in and into the common room, and she smiled at the sight of everything. The fireplace. The large window overlooking the grounds. The armchairs. The study tables. The bookshelves. Right then it hit her how much she really had missed this place. Ronnie excitedly skipped over to an armchair and sank into it, slowly closing her eyes.

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Penelope did NOT appreciate having to walk ALL THE WAY UP HERE to get to this "common room" after eating her fill at the feast. She had hoped it had been just a few steps away from the Great Hall so she could instantly go to sleep, but noooo.
HMPH.
And then she found out that the girls' dorms - her dorm - was up even MORE stairs. No. Just no. She would happily sleep down HERE, thank you. No more stairs for her.
She marched over to one of the squashy armchairs and curled up in it. Ahhh, this was nice...
...And then a thought crossed her mind.
Where was her cat?

Emmaline sat in an armchair and her ginger cat, Sherlock, hopped into her lap. She pet the cat's fluffy fur coat. She smiled to herself and kept petting as she pulled out a book to read.

Where was her cat? Ronnie opened her eyes a little to see a younger girl walk into the dorm, and sit in an armchair. She really wanted to go up to her and introduce herself, but she was way too comfortable in her chair. But, after a while, she got up slowly and stretched a bit before making her way over to the girl. "Hello!" she said. "I'm Ronnie! What's your name?" |

Where was her cat? FINALLY.
Entering the common room with that half-happy half-annoyed look on his face, he used up the last of his energy to reach a couch and collapsed there.
Comfortably seated, he looked around at those who had already arrived earlier than him. Hmm, they must've come up with the prefects? But Zeke didn't see any of those students with a badge around. Oh well. These others must have a lot of energy in them to reach the place. And boy, these people were fast.
Searching for a familiar face out of the four other students his eyes stopped on the unhappy first year he'd met a while ago. The hungry one like he was. Though after a year at Hogwarts, he'd learned that food really comes out late during feasts cause everyone's going all chit-chatty with each other, especially the teachers, so he's learned to know what to expect. More talk means delayed food.
What was her name again?
..... 'Okay, I give up.' He looked over as another person tried to talk to her and asked her name. Alright! He'd wait for her answer then pretend he's known all along. "Hey."

Sarah finally got into her common room. She was fully charged with energy and enthusiasm. Having this place being a comfort zone for the past three years, she could think of nothing but of the warm and cozy armchair by the fireplace.
She spotted few students in the room. Some looked exhausted and others casual. Out of them she spotted this guy. He looked drawn and tired. I could get some friends. Three years at Hogwarts and she'd had just a handful of friends. Shyness couldn't get the better of anyone.
She walked towards him. He looked older, probably a fourth of fifth year. But she had never seen him around. Don't frighten him though. " Hello" she said, casually.

Before he heard the first year's answer, another Gryffindor approached him. Looking up, he saw it was another girl. Gee, were Gryffs all girls? Well, there was the Prefect and Head Boy earlier at the feast. And some other few guys. Where were they? "Erm, hi." Simple as that. Zeke didn't know whether to say any more than that. But he was too tired to even bother adding more sentences.

| Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna It was a path Gideon himself had taken hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times over his 5 years already at Hogwarts, though he couldn't take it in stride like he nromally would. He doubted most of his followeds wouldn't be able to keep up, especially with his long-legged stride. So the prefect slowed down to a reasonable tempo, carefully not to lose anyone that was following either him, Paulie or Kurumi.
Finally he reached the common room, standing before the Fat Lady's portrait that kept the rooms secure. "Felix Felicis" he spoke aloud, giving the password and watching as the door swung open in response. "Remember that password and keep it a secret from non-house members," he instructed before heading inside.
Ah to be back in the familiar surroundings, Gideon looking around to take it all in. Nothing much had changed but it was always good to see it for the first time after the summer just to be sure. Stepping off to one side, he debated heading upstairs to settle into his dorm, but opted to stay in the common room for now to make sure nobody needed help.

"I'm Gideon," he added echoing the intro with his own and tentatively offering a hand.

Seeing the two enter, he was much more at ease now. Maybe he could greet them. Turning to look at them both, he half-smiled and made a brief wave to get their attention. "Hey."

Closing her book, Emmaline gently set down Sherlock and he drowsily walked off to stumble into his little bed. She smiled tiredly and stuck the book she'd been reading on the shelf. She rubbed her eyes lightly and got up to retire to the Girls' Dormitory.

| all of you...Kurumi will be along later...for now, here is Walnut! astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Hearing voices, his royal highness decided that it was about time for his royal nap to come to an end and nonchalantly made his way down to the common room where he saw all sorts of human things running around. Had any of them found HIS chair yet? If so...they had something coming to them. Strutting Waddling his way down the stair, Walnut surveyed his kingdom and noticed a few familiar scents. One was the other boy who had been in the prefect compartment, the one that had the stupid bird for a pet. Birds were meant to be eaten, not kept as pets. Walnut thought human people had more sense than that. No matter. Another familiar scent belonged to a girl who had showed up in the prefect compartment...only she also smelled like cat. The fur on the back of Walnut stood up for just a moment, but he quickly found HIS throne and perched on it.
Yes, it was good to be king. Now where was his mistress?

Yes, it was good to be king. Now where was his mistress? A little cat climbed down the stairs in a kingly manner. Sarah couldn't help but watch the little thing go about. It was giving might stares at the people in the common room, as if judging them. Very sensitive.
The cat made it's way through and perched on top a chair. King's throne, eh? It'll have to wait. Sarah hurried towards it. The cat was looking for something, or someone? She sat down beside it and patted the cat. " Who're you looking for your highness?" she asked it as if it were to answer. She lifted the cat and placed it on her lap.

He guessed these people would turn into his friends and classmates. But, he'd start getting to know some of them a little each day. Right now he just wanted to feel peace and so he grabbed his guitar out and began to strum on it softly. He looked down at his hand to make sure he got his fingering right. As far as he could tell, his fingers where on the right tabs.

She sat down beside it and patted the cat. "Who're you looking for your highness?" she asked it as if it were to answer. She lifted the cat and placed it on her lap. Purring softly, and obviously pleased with himself, Walnut was just about to curl up in a ball when.... THERE WERE DIIIIIIIIIIIRTY HUMAN THING HANDS ON HIM!!
Ears down and tail swishing, Walnut's eyes narrowed as her staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaared into the eyes of the human thing that had picked him up. Was he looking for someone? Yes...and NOT you...
His Mistress had told him he was to behave and not pee on any first years...BUT...this human thing wasn't one of those small human things. Nope. She looked like a big human thing and therefore peeing was completely allowed.
And the other human things talking were also annoying. He wanted his fishflakes and he wanted them NOW.

" Walnut" she said loudly. Can it recognize? That's the name right? She put the cat down and watched it carefully. " Do you want something?" she asked. " You understand what I say?" Ok now, you're gonna look like a fool talking to a cat.

Yes, we understand you human thing...but clearly YOU do not understand us. This is one thing Walnut disliked about human things, their assumption that just because felines spoke Cat that they could not understand silly human talk. They did. Could the same be said for human things? Nooooo. Human things were not capable of speaking Cat.
Who were the beings of higher intelligence now? Hmmm?
At least now the human thing was putting him down. Smart move. Or dumb *gleam* Walnut jumped off his throne and onto the ground, sniffing the human thing's shoes. Ah yes, Honeysuckle Girl. That was the human thing's new name. Too bad they wouldn't be smelling like honeysuckle after this...
Having ducked out earlier after arriving in the common room to double back through the corridors to make sure that there were no missing lions or students out of bed, Kurumi finally made her way back to the portrait of the Fat Lady, spoke the password, and reentered to see that there were still plenty of lions still up and about. Kurumi smiled at the scene and made her way towards the couches.
" Hello Ronnie, Penelope," Kurumi greeted, seeing that the two girls were already in conversation and getting to know each other. Good, good good good. "I hope you both had enough to eat at the feast." She looked especially in Penelope's direction since the first year had seen to almost be starving to death at the feast. " If not, I think I still have a box of cookies upstairs that I can bring down for everyone. Some tea as well." Easy enough to conjure water and heat it anyway.
Turning her attention now to the boys, Kurumi tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear again. " Gideon, Zeke, Derrick." She was glad to see that Derrick was smiling now since he had seemed so down at the feast. " Zeke...I actually want to apologize...for earlier...you know, with the pumpkin juice." Kurumi didn't know what had come over her, pouring THAT much into the glass. It was as if she had forgotten how much she had already poured into it or something. " I hope your robes are alright. Tergeo should fix them up if they are still sticky..."
And then Kurumi noticed Tag was playing the guitar over on the other side of the common room and she offered him a small smile and a wave before walking a little further towards the couches just in time for one of the new students to decide that it was time for bed. " Sleep well, Emmaline."
Now...to sit down. Kurumi was just about to flop onto her favorite chair by the fireplace when.... "WALNUT! STOP THAT!"
Not again.

Kurumi shook her head. People always apologized for such things, including herself, but there really was no need to do so. One should never apologize for their emotions, right? Erm...maybe. Kurumi decided she didn't really want to think about that much more at the moment. " I'm just glad that you seem better now," she nodded. And, well, if he had something he wanted to talk about he was free to do so with her, or Gideon or Paulie, unless it was boy issues...then he probably shouldn't come to her. " You settling in alright?"

He blinked once before finally responding again, "Zeke, fourth year too." And another yawn. Then a nod. Quote:

There was another boy that looked a bit younger.''Hey,I'm Derrick.''He said smiling and held out his hand.''Lovely to see afew boys around here.''Derrick said grinning.''Just me,you and Gryffindors Boy Prefect.'' "I'm Zeke," he half-smiled and shook Derrick's hand firmly once. The exhaustion was creeping out on him. Zeke should be sleeping soon.
He knew exactly what Derrick meant. Hogwarts was in need of a non-girl dominated population. So far he hasn't met any Gryffindor guys who were the same age as him. He's got Oakey who was in Hufflepuff and Mordred who was in Slytherin. Hmm. Quote:

Not again. Ohboy, pumpkin girl. He half-smiled at her and nodded. "It's all good, really." Just don't spill it again please. And another yawn came. They were going to sleep anytime soon. Zeke just wanted to hang around the common room a little longer to meet the people he'd be with for the whole term. Last term, he really didn't make much of an effort to meet anyone at all.
He was really giving out a lot of half-smiles today. Probably because it tired him to do a full smile so smiling on one side of the face seemed okay. It was still a smile after all. They got the message.
Walnut? That was odd, to name a cat Walnut. His eyes followed the direction of the cat. Waaaa?
