Gryffindor Common Room
 
Gryffindor Common Room


The official home of the Lions, the Gryffindor common room, is found on the seventh floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because the entrance to the common room is the portrait of the Fat Lady, Lions must know the password and speak it to the Fat Lady in order to get through.

"Gobbledygook!"

Remember that word...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 entrance to Gryffindor Tower. Once you're lucky enough to crawl through, you'll find that the common room is a circular area full of squashy armchairs, tables, and a bulletin board. A window looks out onto the grounds of the school, and a large fireplace takes up one entire wall. It's the perfect place to relax and hang out after a long day of classes!

That is, unless you're in need of a nap or ready for a good night's rest. In that case, 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.

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, your Head of House, or maybe even a house elf lurking nearby!

Adam was sitting on one of the red and gold covered couches. Finally he could relax, and not worry about Katie finding him here. Unless, she waited for him right outside the door, now that would be weird. He passed out for a few mintues. A serenity.It was awesome. Tomorrow another busy day.

Sophia walked into the common room for the first time and saw a fellow Gryffindor. She walked over to him and sat down next to him "Hi there!" she said, in a thick Italian accent. "I am Sophia Lombardi! What is your name?" she asked. She was so exctied for school to start.

Adam woke up startled. "Oh hello."He said rubbing his eyes."I'm Adam Burn."He answered shaking her hand."You're italian? Are you a first year also, you look my age."He guessed madly. Finally another friend. But really, Adam needed to find at least one guy friend in this place. Girls would crush him by the end of the week.

She felt exhausted, but Kurumi just couldn't bring herself to go to sleep yet. Today had been wonderful, strange and with a little drama, but wonderful. She walked around the Gryffindor Common Room and take the time to look at every detail. Her hair had gone back to being black - must have been the long hike up all those stairs, and she felt more relaxed now that it seemed like most of the drama between Katie and Adam had passed -though she still wasn't sure what the final decision was on that. After making a complete circle of the room, she went to sit down on one of the couches when she saw Adam completely passed out on one. She giggled to herslef, it had been a rough day for him, sat down next to him, pulled out the book that she had borrowed from Ling earlier, and started reading.

Adam woke up suddenly to see Kurumi sitting next to him, reading a book. Slowly, with a groggy tired voice he said,"Hey, whatcha readin there?" She looked so peaceful reading her book. It was just them and Sophia, who seemed to be giving them their own space for the moment. No drama would find these three gryffindor's in here. It was just right.

Carter burst through the door to the common room... well... at least he tried doing that. It was kind of hard to 'bust in' when entering through a hole in the wall.

"Home sweet home." he said happily. He ran toward the fireplace and dove right into his favorite chair.

It was good to be back.

"Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque by Edgar Allan Poe," she explained showing him the book cover. "A fifth year named Ling let me borrow it. It is...almost too scary for me," she admitted scooting a little closer to Adam as she continued to read a story entitled The Devil in the Belfry.

"Hmm, well maybe, can I read it after you are done? If this Ling guy lets me...I don't think he liked me much..."Adam confessed. Reading a book near the crackling fire was the most soothing thing to do here at Hogwarts that didn't require too much energy. He watched her read a little more, not bothering her, as she turned pages and her eyes zoomed across the writing.

"He was a little shy," she admitted as she continued to read. "He felt better after he ate one of my cookies. He was very pleasant to talk to after that." She had finished reading this particular story and not sure if she wanted to keep reading onto the next one. She was afraid she wsa going to have nightmares to be honest. So she decided to put the book down and leave the last story a mystery. She would give it back to Ling the next time she saw him. "You know, you are becoming quite the girl magnet," she laughed.

"Oh I am so sorry I woke you up!" Sophia said, apologetically. "Nice to meet you Adam!" she said, shaking his hand. "Yes, I am Italian, and yes I am a first year!" she said, smiling. "This place is amazing!" she said, in awe. She looked around the common room. She was finally here.

He guawffed at how true that was."I know."He said in a long tone."But I get all the crazy girls stalking me...Not you, you're just fine the way you are."He smiled shyly, and looked down a few seconds hoping the fire would bounce off his face and cover his blush."I need to make some guy friends...Know anyone good?"He looked up eagerly. He had noticed that Kurumi had been chatting to many Gryffindors earlier that night, she must've met some nice guys who would get along with him.

Kurumi, who now needed something to take her mind of the scary-ness of her borrow book, now noticed another girl sitting next to Adam. She smiled at her, reached across Adam with her arm, and offered the girl a gentle handshake. "Hi, I'm Kurumi," she smiled with a twinkle in her violet eyes. "I'm a first year student too." She then reached for her box of homemade cookies she had set down on the ground."Cookie?"

Anna said the pass word as instructed. She looked around she could get used to this. Anna found a comfortable couch and lounged back on it and looked at the ceiling. This'd be fun fun fun. Getting around the school wasn't easy though. She'd have to follow some of the uppers to get from class to class. She looked around the room. People were starting to file in now. Groggy and filled to the brim with the food from the feast. She knew how they felt. And it felt goood. She leaned back and closed her eyes with a smile to try and remember this moment her first time in the Gyfindor common room. Her home for the next few months of her life.

"Oh what?! It's ok...I should be sleeping in my bed, if I'm tired. Not on the couch...So, Sophia, did you grow up in Italy? Or were you just born there and moved her to England after awhile?"Adam asked. He really wished to get to know his roommates and classmates better. Somewhat how he knew a bit of Kurumi's personal life.

GAHH Get out my head Kurumi! He told himself.

She needed to take a moment to sort out all the people she had talk to tonight. She had talked to several male students, but many of them were upperclassmen. Adam definately needed someone in the same first year class. "I talked briefly with a boy named Alex Hathaway," she offered still letting the wheels and knobs in her head turn. "There is one boy who is like me...err...I mean he is half-Japanese half-British," she corrected herself. "His name is Cass Sato-Rhodes, but he is probably more shy than Ling." She would have to keep her eyes and ears open for any other first year boys. "The Gryffindor prefect is also really nice."

"So to get the prefect, I will act lost, ask him for help and strike up a conversation. You're the best, Kurumi. "He said hugging her tightly. "You really hit the chat box tonight, with your cookies too."He poked her cheek and turned to Sophia, getting her attention back, hopefully.

"I would LOVE a cookie!" she said, laughing. "Nice to meet you Kurumi. I am Sophia." she said, shaking her hand.

"Actually, I still live in Italy." she said. "I fly home for summer, and I come here for school." she said. "It is a very long way from home." she said, with a sigh. "So, where are both of you from?" she asked. "I am actually from a small town called Venice. It is also known as the City on the Water." she said. "It is all built on a river. No roads." she said, smiling.

Oh, wow. 'Gobbledygook' Viktoriya whispered to the portrait, and it swung open before her, showing her the room that was to be... well, her home for the next year. It was... red. Very, very red. That was her first thought. The second was Wow. That's one big fire. And indeed it was - it covered the whole wall! It was huge! Once she had gotten over the fireplace, Viktoriya moved on to the rest of the room. Settling down in a comfy-looking armchair by the fire, she looked around eagerly. This place, it was amazing. She hadn't even seen her room yet and she loved it!

The only thing that would make this better was some friends. The only people Viktoriya had met from Gryffindor were Simon and Josh, and they had vanished. Every person in the Common Room was a firstie. Sigh.... perhaps some older students would come in later? She certainly hoped so...

She smiled as the girl took one of the badger shaped ones with apple icing. Kurumi wondered what day of the week she should make cookie day. Maybe Wednesday would be best. "It's nice to meet you, Sophia," she smiled still leaning across Adam. "A City on the Water...wow...does that mean you live on a boat?" Kurumi really needed to learn more about the world.

Oh boy, there went her hair changing to that deep rose pink color again. This time, Kurumi could actually feel the change happening. How stange! She wondered what was different this time. Maybe it had something to do with Adam. She found her focus and was able to get her hair back to its usual black before much time had passed. "I know," she exclaimed rolling back in her seat and kicking her legs up. "I am usually not that talkative with new people, but I just felt like I needed to try something new." And she was glad she had. It had given her a boost in confidence...minus that one Sylterin girl wanting to tear her apart and then that other girl who was going to be in Gryffindor who had not taken a liking to Kurumi.

After the feast, there seemed to be an influx of people heading off to their dorms. Already knowing where he needed to go, Simon had slowed letting the newer Gryffindors follow the more experienced to the tower common room. Finally reaching the room himself, he slipped in with a group after they spoke the password, pausing to survey the surroundings.

Another year in this great school," he mused to himself as his eyes passed over the common room. The boy moving away from the opening for others to pass by. His gaze caught sight of the girl from the feast and he slowly walked over towards where she was seated.

"I see you made it up here alright..." he mused with a smile.

Sophia took a bite of the badger shaped cookie, which was totally cute. "Mmm, this is delicious!!!" she exlaimed. She continued to eat the rest of her cookie. "No, it doesn't mean I lived on a boat, but how awesome would that be?!" she said. "Well, you know how muggles have roads? That is what the river was." she said. "There were houses on one side, and the river in the middle." she said. "Boats were our cars." she said, smiling.

She saw Kurumi's hair turn bright pink. "Oh my!" Sophia exlamied. "You are a metamorphogus!" she exclaimed again. "That is awesome!"

She turned towards Adam and asked "Have you ever heard of Venice?" she asked.

Brant ran into the gryffindor commonroom, it was so great to be home. Looking around checking out his old nap places after long homework sessions. He spotted his favorite chair and he went over to plop in it. "Ahhhh" he said while starting to relax on a full stomach.

Viktoriya looked up and smiled happily at Simon 'I did indeed. It was easy really, all you had to do was follow the screaming first years' she said with a smirk. They were loud, though. She had a feeling it was always going to be this noisy at Hogwarts... hopefully she wouldn't go deaf. Perhaps there was some kind of spell to prevent it? Viktoriya thought that there probably was, but she sure didn't know it. Maybe she'd check it out in the Library someday.

'So, you must be glad. There's nothing for me to spill on you up here'
hehe. Cue evil grin. She could always summon up -wait, no she couldn't. Gollapott - or wahtever his name was - had rule about that, Viktoriya was pretty sure. You couldn't summon up or create food with magic. Aww, shame. POUT.

After finally finding the common room after getting lost more than once, Meredith entered. Oh wow, she thought, it was even better than meredith pictured!! Meredith knew she was going to have a good year at hogwarts.

Meredith went and sat down on an armchair. She looked around and saw that she didn't know any of the people in the common room yet, so she started reading her favorite book.
