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.
"Oddsbodikins!"
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.
Sarah smiled widely. "Sure. But here?" she asked, uncertainly. She watched William. When she spoke of Jordan his face changed. "Thinking about something Will?" she asked him tentatively. About Rose? "Well nothing much. You didn't tell me a lot.. I just know her name." she said.
" WE can dance anyehere you want" Willaim told Sarah." Yes, thinking about how well we get along" William said to Sarah. He was kind of lying because he likes her, too. " Actually, that part of my life is over and the subject is closed" William explained to Sarah. " Now do you know how to get to my parents Villa?" William asked Sarah.

Kurumi barely heard Simon's voice. He sounded so far away, or like she was under water and that he was calling from atop a cliff far above her. It was only when he took a hold of her own. Her head snapped over her shoulder to look at Simon and she nodded slowly before glancing back towards Professor Bishop.
Professor Bishop knew everything, probably even things Kurumi didn't know about Selina's situation, so the third year understood that her friend was in good and capable hands. Still, that didn't make letting go of the second year's hand any easier. "O-O-Okay..." she mumbled.
Sluggishly, she rose from her kneeling position beside Selina and stood. She then looked at Professor Bishop and swallowed back a few more tears. "P-Professor...be careful..." she whispered so only could hear. Somehow, Kurumi got the feeling that what was about to happen in front of her was going to be something extraordinary.
She then looked over at Selina and offered the sightless, in once sense, girl a brave smile. "Selina, ganbatte..."

After a moment he opened his mouth to question but closed it as Rafe spoke the very question that had came to mind...was there anyone else needed or anything to do. The captain simply waited for any answer the professor were to give. Simon nodded as Kurumi finally found her voice to respond to him having figured that might be the case but if there was anything he knew it was to cover all bases.
10 minutes?! Dear Merlin...
Hearing Kurumi's answer to the durration of Selina's current state, Simon's own worry for his housemate and friend intensified. He sighed trying to be strong for Kurumi's sake in hopes to at least be able to keep her as ok as he could. Simon's attention was grabbed once more as Professor Bishop mentioned patronus' and how to properly handle them, momentarily exchanged glances with Rafe at the mention and reminded of how he had opted not to just let his defense students just try out patronus' without experience.
At the older woman's instructions for Kurumi to let go of Selina, Simon decided to step in and help ease the third year back. "Come..." he said quietly, slipping his hand in her free one and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Let's give Professor Bishop just a little room...Selina will still know you are here," he added with a gentle smile as he tried to gently guide her back just a step or two...still very much right there.

Renée knew that the longer Selina was unconscious, at least to the outside world, the less likely she'd be able to get her back without issue. In the same respect, however, she knew that Kurumi was scared and needed to decide to move on her own, so while she'd smiled as Simon had stepped in to lead the girl a few steps away, she hadn't said anything at all. Besides, the quiet was helping her prepare for what she knew was going to be a difficult thing to do. For many reasons.
Although she did speak when she heard Kurumi's whisper. "Don't worry. Hopefully everything will go fine," she assured the girl, keeping her voice low. There were still the other students in the common room who seemed blissfully unaware of what was going on, so she figured there was no need to draw everyone's attention. Especially as she still hoped she could hide the one little secret from the school as a whole just a bit longer. She imagined Selina wouldn't like the attention, at least, and would understand the wish for secrecy. And another smile graced her face at the other statement Kurumi had made before completely moving back. She didn't really need to understand the language to know it was something good, meant for Selina, and she hoped the redhead could hear it wherever she was.
But now it was officially time, and she shifted position to be a bit more squarely in front of Selina's form. That was a bit diffcult, given the girl's postion and occasional movement, but she knew it would help. She'd never tried this on someone who couldn't really react. If they'd wanted to, at least. Either way, she focused on Selina's blank eyes and murmured something, just to strengthen the weak thread of a connection she was getting, before her eyes glazed over the slightest bit as she latched on finally. Now to just convince the girl to come back to her body.
"No... but it is still some sound advice."

Did you just lose something? The GAME? Sorry... 'Justin Bieber, he is the man!' U mad, Felton!?
Rose(Jordan) walked into the Common Room. She sat down wondering if anyone would notice that this was Jordan, and start talking to her! Rose laughed. What if they revealed a big secret! She'd have to tell Jordan! Rose giggled.

Getting along, really? "Yes, I've been thinking about that too.." she paused, "..I hope we stay friends forever." she smiled. She sighed. "Oh don't Will, you'll find someone, who actually knows you." she assured him. "They'll be the most wonderful person ever, just for you." she said, positive. "Now, now, tell me where exactly your Villa is..." she asked him.
Sarah got up elegantly and extended her hand to William. Her first dance in here, at Hogwarts. Hmm!

As Sarah was talking she noticed Jordan coming into the Common Room. She waved to him, "Hey Jordan!" she called out.

Oh, bum! Rose thought. 'Um... Hello...? Sarah?' Rose knew her name from the fact that William had mentioned her. Lets cause some trouble shall we? Maybe? Hmm.... If the situation provided itself! Rose giggled then changed it to a masculine laugh. 'How're you?' Rose asked in Jordan's voice. Oh, gosh, maybe she likes him! That would be great! Not! Maybe one day he'll like me back!

Sarah walked towards him. Giggling? Sarah thought for a moment, any problem? "Er, yeah.." she paused, "..I'm good and what about you?" she asked him. "Aren't you supposed to be in the grounds? What brings you here?" She asked.

'I'm fine... I was in the Grounds, but then I came back, I came to talk to someone, anyone... I was bored!' Rose thought on her feet. 'Have you ever liked someone... I- I mean my friend has! Do you have a crush on anyone?' Rose said quickly covering up her bloop. Maybe this girl could help her, give her some advice on what to do...

Is this really Jordan? Sarah gave a puzzled look. "Fine" she mumbled. Like someone? He knows doesn't he? "I.. um.. I guess I told you before, Jordan.." she paused, "It's always the same." she sighed. Something was different about him today. Like he were hiding something from me!

Oh, bum, she suspects me! Act natural! 'Moo!' No, not that type of natural! 'Ah, um, um,' WHAT SHOULD I SAY!!!!! 'How's William?' Rose fought to keep the coldness out of her voice, but failed. Please don't notice!

She stared at him for a moment. Really? Jordan? "Will is fine, he's gone to work on his potion." she told him. Her gaze moved to his hands, odd position. She paused for a moment. "You're acting strange Jordan." she told him finally.

'Oh, yeah, me and my mate Rose are gonna start on it soon! I'm acting strange? Really? You're acting strange telling me I'm acting strange!' Rose challenged

Sarah grasped it, quite immediately. Her voice turned cold. "This is Rose, isn't it?" she asked, bluntly. A few moments later, she gave a wide smile. "The potion has worked well." she said. Pretty well.

'Dang, how'd you know!? And why do you sound so cold!?' Rose asked noticing she sounded like she didn't like her.

Sarah chuckled merrily. "Oh sorry! It's nothing.. I was just thinking about the potion's effect." she said. "When I think, my voice turns cold..." she grinned. Easy goes. "You acted so un-Jordan-ish!" she said, "Great effort though!" Sarah gave her a hi5.

'Yeah, but it could've been anyone! How'd you know it was me!' Rose grinned. 'Y'know, it's been pretty awkward being Jordan, as I have a HUGE crush on him... He doesn't like me back though...' ROse said sadly

"You said it yourself, remember?" she pointed out. "Me and my mate Rose.. That gave me a hint, and thanks to the un-Jordan-ish stuff." she grinned again. Sarah blinked. "Oh really??! Blimey, you even told him?" she said, "You're got a nerve!" she said. But didn't like back? "Hmmm... maybe he does. But wouldn't want it now.." she said, reasonably. "A lot of people do that." she sighed. She felt sorry for her. That was bad. Awfully bad.

'Yeah, maybe....... I really do like him...... I- Maybe he'll like me one day...' Rose said, then recovered. 'Yeah, I guess!'
'I don't know... I haven't seen him for ages........' ROse began. 'I haven't seen him since I told him.........'
COUPLE OF HOURS LATER
Rose skipped in with Hemo and sat down. 'So what should we do? Racing with pencilcases?' Rose grinned
Hemo bounded in after Rose. The warmth of the common room hit her like a wall of hot water and she started, losing her footing. Having not realizing Rose had stopped she collided into her back, hastily righting herself and gripping onto her fellow Gryffindor's shoulders to stop her from falling over too. "Sorry." she said sheepishly, grinning as a light blush crept onto her cheeks. Letting go of Rose's shoulders she frowned down at her curiously. "Racing with pencilcases?" She laughed, a large grin present on her pale, freckled face as she tugged at her bearhat's pompom tassles. "Sounds fun!"

'Don't worry! Yup! Racing with pencilcases! Just do this: Locomotor!' the pencilcase followed her wand
'Don't worry! Yup! Racing with pencilcases! Just do this: Locomotor!' the pencilcase followed her wand
Hemo watched in awe as Rose showed her what to do, her blue eyes wide with a newfound admiration for the young Gryffindor. She certainly knew her spells, that was for sure. She grinned as the pencilcase began to follow her wand and decided to pull her own wand from her pocket. She'd never really done many spells before, but she didn't want to seem stupid so she hastily pointed it at her own pencilcase. A determined grin stole over her features as she clearly muttered "Locomotor!" The pencilcase shook slightly, but that was it. Hemo shrugged, rubbing the back of her neck with her freehand. "I'm kinda bad at stuff." she said with a small, nervous chuckle. She tried to ignore the reddish tinge that was now plaguing her cheeks.

'Don't worry, it took me ages to be able to do it! Try again!' Rose grinned at Hemo
"No... but it is still some sound advice," the older Selina offered to the younger version of herself. Selina, the present day one, wanted nothing more than to huff and puff and groan all of the way to her defiance at the older Selina, but she knew better. The advice, whether she liked it or not, was good advice. She and Kurumi had been friends for two years and that was far too long to just get in a little argument and contemplate staying mad at her forever. That was childish and Kurumi and her friendship was anything but childish. Sure, they had moments of crazy and unrelenting fun, like the days at the lake and chocolate frogs and flying on the Pitch, but more importantly they had been there for each other when the going got tough, like when Adam left and when Selina revealed her powers and Kurumi revealed hers. The two were always there for one another. Maybe that was what Kurumi was trying to display in Charms... that Selina didn't need her to help, but maybe, just maybe, Selina wanted the help. People always want someone to help them sometimes. Being strong all of the time can be exhausting, Selina knew that first hand.
So she unwrapped her arms from the defiant position and said, "I'm sorry... you're right. She is the best friend I could ask for. I need to apologize."
The older Selina smiled and put her hand on the younger girl's shoulder and smiled, "I'm glad that you at least realized that."
The younger Selina looked deeply into her older self's eyes and asked, "Why am I having this vision...?"
"That," the older Selina gestured to the tattoo and said, "That right there will become very important, it already is. I just can't exactly-" But she stopped talking and a smile graced the older Selina's lips. The younger Selina looked closely at her face and saw that her older self was smiling at someone behind the younger Selina so she turned around to meet the eyes of Professor Bishop. Shock enveloped her face and she was about to say something when the older Selina said, "I was wondering when you were going to get here..."
