The common room! A burst of light and warmth hit Ava Jade as she stepped into the place that would likely be her favorite evening hangout for the next few months. It hadn't changed a bit; the aura of the room was still just as friendly and welcoming as it had been since Ava Jade's first year at Hogwarts, only now -- like the past few terms -- it felt like home. Looking around for someone to talk to, Ava Jade wondered over the the fireplace and stretched her hands out to warm them. It was good to be back.
