| | 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. "Carriwitchet!"
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. |

"Well, then I'm going to look after You until you do." He said with a big smile, but very much empathy in His eyes.

Those were really fun, but that's about all! Speaking of classes, which one is your favorite?" |

Just a whole bunch of people guessing what 'Dark Arts' actually are and now we're up to 'Dark Animals' but I think you were awake for that." Willow teased lightly, tugging gently on a piece of Emma's hair. "But if you get woken up by a storm at night again, come wake me up and we'll ride out the storm together!" she said, giving Emma a hug.

"But if you get woken up by a storm at night again, come wake me up and we'll ride out the storm together!" she said, giving Emma a hug. "Right" Emma chuckled. "I did wake up eventually..." Willow was so nice. She really lightened up the room when she walked in. Emma could always count on her to make her smile. "Good idea" Emma teased back. "Next time I'm awake, I'll make sure you don't get any sleep either!" She imagined them keeping the whole dormitory up and giggled. "Anyway" She pressed on "How did it end with Glass? She didn't give you and Elsie detention did she?" She'd better not... Quote:

"Maybe you should go get some sleep, you look beat," Chris worried about her, he didn't want her to be tired like this again... "Of course you did!" Emma said feeling rather stupid. "I'm so sorry. Apparently I really was asleep." She joked.
She smiled gratefully at Chris. "Thanks a billion, you're a real life saver"
She sighed "Yeah, maybe. I just don't want to miss anything, you know? But what about your day?" She smiled warmly at him. She hoped he was feeling a bit more at home. He was quite shy to begin with...

He tended to fall asleep in some pretty odd places. "No problem, I'm sure you'd do the same for me. I'm sure you wouldn't miss anything, and if something exciting starts to happen, I'll wake you up, if you want," Chris only hoped she wouldn't go up to the girls dormatories for a nap, he wouldn't be able to wake her up there. "Any who, my day was pretty good, not much happened so..."

An ability Pixxi had was to never make a scene awkward, so she carried away like she was speaking to her two best friends. "Have you started your subjects yet, Nessie? Josephine told me how busy she is now that she started with them. I can't wait to try out Charms. I think that would be my favorite." Nessie smiled at Pixxi. As she continued to talk she began to feel less and less awkward. She could definately see Pixxi as a friend sometime in the future. She smiled warmly at Pixxi for her kindness. "Yes I have started my classes. I'm in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. I honestly can't wait for Potions to start. I think that will be my favorite class, even though the professor scares me." She laughed quietly, thinking about how Professor Lafay snapped at a few of the students in the Potions Lab. Quote:

I really do love Hogwarts. I've always been interested in the supernatural and now I'm living it! It's nice to meet you William, I'm Nessie Masen, but you can call me Nessie." Nessie held out her hand for William to shake.

He raised His wand and the same sounds and colors that came out of His wand the first time He'd used it came out. He sent her a weak smile as to say 'This is the best I can do.'

Jordan didn't enjoy romance at all, so he felt awkward around the displays of affection going on around him, but didn't let it show. He deemed it best not to ruin the moment this time, he'd paid for that dearly the last time he'd done it. He just stroked his owl, Jazz, absent mindedly.

Elsie walked back down the stairs of the dormitories and back into the common room. She saw Willow but she was talking to a lot of people and didn't want to disrupt her. Elsie smiled and waved at her rom across the room. Elsie then just sat down in an armchair trying to see some new people to introduce herself to.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Tristan Holmes Third Year | To the VAMP!Kittymobile!♥Team Cullen ♥I'm a GLEEk!♥Mrs.Archuleta
Allaine was ecstatic about the school year - actually arriving at Hogwarts had been a dream come true for her. Muggle-born as she is, she never even thought of a magical world existing, even though she grew up with fairy tales surrounding her little mind. She had reasoned that if those things do exist, they are in an alternate universe and definitely not hers.
Until a certain letter written on parchment with green ink changed her life forever.
Lost in thought, she recited the password to the portrait, climbed in -- and proceeded to trip over her own foot, landing face-first on the common room floor.
__________________ Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Hence, I may be on the side of the angels, but don't even think for one second that I am one of them.

Elsie was looking around when a girl she hadn't seen before walked into the common room. Suddenly she had tripped on entering and fell onto the ground. Elsie rushed over to help her up. "Are you okay?" Elsie asked helping her back up, The girl had seemed to have landed verily hard on the floor.

She just took the points off Elsie and Miss Draconis and warned everyone that her classroom wasn't a place for chatter or something like that. she said, rolling her eyes. "So I guess that's not going to be one of my favourite classes after all. I was looking forward to it but... Willow shrugged. "Oh well, I can't wait until COMC! What about you, do you have a favourite class yet?" " I guess I am smart" Willaim told Willow." Good, you will be a great partner" Willaim said to Willow. "Do yo uhave a favorite class?" William asked Willow. Quote:

Hastily Allaine sprang up, dusting her clothes off. "I'm okay! I'm okay, thank you." Oh Merlin, the very first days of school and she'd managed to make practically every Gryffindor stare at her because of that particularly loud fall. Making yet another mental note that she should really watch where she was going, she introduced herself. "I'm Allaine - Allaine Pelletier, first year."

Unless Lauren was talking about something entirely different in which case Kurumi had no idea. " I always enjoy classes...but I am a little disenchanted with Defense Against the Dark Arts," Kurumi said rather gloomily. " I don't like it when professors feel like they have something to prove by taking away ridiculous amounts of house points." Especially for something like dress code. There were far worse things that could earn a 30 point loss. Quote:

" That's fantastic," Kurumi smiled. " A sign of a good magical familiar connection." She, on the other hand, wasn't entirely sure where herself and Walnut stood sometimes. The seemed to have a strong relationship, but he also had a mind of his own. Quote:

After that Josh had to lift himself again to have a better look of Kurumi's pretty face. For sure, he was not enjoying it when he found his stuff damp and smelling like urine and he was always too lazy to get them washed so making amends was not a bad idea yet the cat was...not the kind to do. At least Josh thought that way. ''It is him who started that for no reason, though. So i demand him to suggest it.''
Yes, he was talking about the cat. Or maybe it was not a cat and something in disguise in a form of a feline. Well...because now Josh himself had a cat too and it had not peed on anything despite the fact that he was a baby cat yet. Now he was feeling the need of mentioning this to Kurumi however what the girl said next made him completely forget about it.
Merlin.......Slytherin?
The boy could not help laughing out rather loudly. ''Such lies!!'' he said between breaths ''Those snakes are very creative when it comes to lying. No doubt they are.''
Of course, as it always happened when Slytherins were mentioned, Josh's mind wandered off to the thoughts about a certain she-snake...which did not last much because of Kurumi's reaction to her new title. Well? Was not she happy with it?
Giving the girl a charming smile, Josh sat up and nodded ''Yes. Exactly.'' He was sure that this girl would make an awesome personal secretary and manager....with her means of doing everything perfectly. If Hogwarts chose her as prefect then Josh was giving her the honour of being his manager....which was no doubt a biggest thing than the former. ''Don't worry i am not going to ask you to do stuff like dressing me up.''
Bwahahahaha... Merlin. This was going to be a never ending cycle with these two. Josh wasn't going to be the one to step in and take the lead just like Walnut certainly wouldn't go prancing up to Josh and say he was sorry. Then again, Walnut couldn't even talk. This was a perplexing situation. Maybe she needed a cat whisperer...
Were there even such people in the wizarding world? She ought to go ask the Care of Magical Creatures professor about this. Maybe they could help.
" Walnut seems to have changed targets for whatever reason," she said sheepishly. " He tried to pee on someone else during the train ride over..."
But her thoughts were drawn away from Walnut and his secretions when Josh began talking about Merlin. " You mean...he wasn't a Slytherin?" she asked as she turned the card over in her hand. Did chocolate frog cards lie? She wouldn't mind if he had been a Gryffindor, but not all great wizards could have come from her house. She did find it a bit suspicious that Merlin, a advocate for muggle rights as it was written, had come from Slytherin. It just didn't fit.
" D-D-D-Dressing you?" Kurumi's face instantly flushed. Was she sitting too close to the fire? It was suddenly ridiculously hot in the common room. Quote:

After all most people who'd had his home situation would probably be angry at the world and everything in it. Well...Adam was just glad that he was able to move past all of it. No point in dreading over what you can't change. "Well...if she turns you into a newt I'll turn her into a worm and you can step on her," Adam said with a little smirk. He was kidding of course, but he thought he'd make the offer anyway. She was a fellow Gryffindor so of course he had her back!
Adam felt bad for making the situation so awkward, but thankfully JB saved the moment. Adam thought that JB was sound asleep on his bed, but apparently not, because the dog came bounding and had tackled himself into Adam's lap before he even had time to react. The chair wobbled on the impact of JB ramming into him, and the next thing he knew the chair was down, Adam's legs up in the air.
Oh. Dear. Kurumi giggled. " I couldn't ask you to do that," she laughed, tossing her long black hair over her left shoulder. " You would probably be in detention for the rest of your life and..." she blushed just a bit. " I wouldn't be able to squish a worm. They are so defenseless and innocent." No chance to run away. Kurumi remembered 'saving' worms when she was younger and went on walks in the rain with her brothers. The poor worms came out of the ground with all the rain and were threatened to be washed away by all the small streams being formed on the side of the hill. She had a bucket with dirt that the put them in until the rain stopped. " But thank you for the thought. It's nice to know that there will be someone looking out for me."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND her cheeks turned a deep pink.
" PUPPY!" Was all that escaped Kurumi's lips as the little adorable thing when on a rampage through the common room, knocking Adam off his chair. Her first instinct was to check and see if the puppy was alright, but he was already off somewhere. Best to check on Adam now, right? Kurumi jumped to her feet and leaned over him with concern written all over her face. " Are you alright?" She extended her hand to offer to help him up. Quote:

"They are quite powerful, " He agreed, pulling himself together. "But I don't think you can tame dragons, right?" He asked her, scratching his head. He's never heard of a tame dragon, so why would Kurumi want to be a drangologist? Wouldn't that be dangerous, in terms of jobs? "And how are they intelligent? I mean yes, they can look after themselves, but that's practically what every other beast does, isn't it?" He added. That might've been a somewhat stupid question, but Charles didn't really notice because he was too busy digesting the idea that a girl was interested in dragons.
"Oh no, don't worry about it. " He grinned at her, as she blushed. Come on, there wasn't any reason for her to blush. "It's an .., er interesting topic." He nodded, quite untruthfully.
"Lovely to meet you too, " He said, restraining himself from adding 'dragon lover' and shaking her hand once more before letting go. " I wouldn't want to domesticate dragons or anything," Kurumi said shaking her head. Dragons should be free to fly the skies at their own accord as it were. Although, their airspace should be a bit limited considering that it would be awful if they descended upon towns and turned its inhabitants into lunch. " But, I find some of their treatment downright cruel. Did you hear about that poor dragon that was kept locked up in Gringotts? Trained to expect pain when a certain noise was made. It's horrible...I can't even imagine how their tortured the poor creature. Dragons surely have a high tolerance for pain." She paused for a moment to think about his next question. " I suppose it depends on how you define intelligent."
She eyed him for a moment and didn't entirely believe his comment. "I am talking far too much about the subject," she said, still with a slightly blush on her cheeks. "I don't want to bore you..." She then fumbled with her skirt a bit.
