Entering the common room through a still life painting near the kitchens, you will find the spacious room known as your House Common Room. Welcome! Your common room is your sanctuary. During your seven years here, your house will be like your family. The large room is designed around the fireplace, which sits in the very middle, and will more than likely be your favorite place on cold winter nights.
Flanking off and into the rest of the room, the room is furnished with plush armchairs, generally in clusters of two or four. There are also comfortable large couches that might swallow you up, if you're not careful. The wall decor is, of course, Hufflepuff house colors. There are also yellow and black hangings around the room.
A large solid wood table is set up to the far side of the room, the perfect place to study, and should you find yourself in need of inspiration, portraits of memorable Hufflepuffs such as Nymphadora Tonks, Cedric Diggory, and even Zacharias Smith, flying on his broomstick, line the walls around you.
Opposite, you will find two underground tunnels, each going a different way, to the right the tunnel will lead you to the boy's dorms, and to the left, the girl's dorms.
It was so cold outside, Cassie was trembling as she made her way into into the Common Room. Thank God! She pulled her gloves off, they were no good anymore. In fact her fingers felt frozen. She didn't to snuggle up into her favourite couch by the fire place and defrost.
Somebody was in her chair. She pouted as she plopped into the couch next to it.
Treyen! Gah gah, she hadn't seen him around in a while. The boy seemed to be really busy these days. He looked so thoughtful. Hmm, was he okay?
"hey Trey Trey." It was official the boy had the cutest nickname ever. His might even beat out Jonathon's.
She extended her fingers out over the fire to warm them up a bit. She cringed as pain shot through her fingers when they started to thaw. She couldn't wait to leave for the holiday. Wherever James was must be warmer than here.
"You alright?"
Trey Trey? That had to be him, right? But...where had he heard that before? For a moment there, the boy sitting by fire, thought he was actually talking to that Gryffindor Prefect before said boy was made Prefect. Odd. And so unrelated to Cassie.
He smiled instantly, "Cassie!" her timing couldn't be better, though, because now he won't get bored, right? Right!
It was her question that erased the smile from his face, "Me? Yeah, just...slightly bored, I think." And thinking, a lot. "I haven't see you in...weeks.You didn't leave Hogwarts for a while, did you?" because he knew that those kind of things could happen. Some people left for a while if they had to tend to an emergency outside school.

But Patroclus wasn't back yet.
Cassie beamed at Treyen. The prefect seemed excited to see her and her she was thinking that she was interrupting some deep thinking or something. She could chat him up then. Awesome.
She saw the faltering of his smile and frowned. What? What did she say?
"Well I'm here now so say goodbye to boredom." She winked at him then continued rubbing her hands together. At least they didn't feel like icicles anymore. "I've been around alright..and getting into some trouble and nope, I haven't left. I will soon though, for the holidays." She frowned it really wasn't her fault. Well it kind of was, but she didn't mean to get everyone in trouble.

Amethyst slowly walked back into the common room from the Great Hall. She made her way to her usual spot, the arm chair by the fire. She smiled as she sunk into the comfortable chair. It was very warm. And the fire made it a lot better.

"Hey, Ames. How's it going?,"Alyssa plopped down next to Amethyst. "Is it okay if I join you? I'm totally exhausted...or rather my brain is...from trying to figure out all that stuff in Arithmancy. You look tired yourself. I guess things feel like they are happening so fast aren't they?". She placed a comforting hand on Amethyst's.

Amethyst looked up slightly to see the wonderful face of Alyssa. She smiled and sat up slightly. "It's going well, what about you?" Ame giggled softly when Alyssa plopped down next to her. "Of course you can join!" She smiled, nodding at the words Alyssa. "They do!"

"I kinda guessed. I've felt like that a couple of times myself too. Being new in school doesn't help. I could help overhearing you and Justin talking about your sister. I'm really sorry for eavesdropping. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that if you ever need someone else to talk to, I'll always be here for you. You know what, sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed I take a walk by myself just to clear my head, or I go up to the tower and look out over the school grounds and beyond. It tends to calm me down. Maybe that will work for you too."Alyssa suggested to Amethyst.

Amethyst's ears perked up slightly and a smile settled onto her face. She blushed gently. "Well, I am excited to meet my sister, at Thanksgiving..." She nodded giggled softly. "I'll be sure to come and talk to you as soon as I need someone to talk to!" She assured. "Speaking of the tower, what does the school look like from the tower?" She questioned, having yet to go and have a look.

Well it kind of was, but she didn't mean to get everyone in trouble.
Was she as happy to see him as he was to see her? Quite possibly. Then again, Cassie had a pretty smile, she could make others mimic her own when at her presence.
And he'd managed to make her frown. Perfect. Not what he was expecting, really. "Awesome!" he said after he heard that boredom will be stepping down from this place. "Trouble?" he laughed lightly, there was no way she could get into any sort of trouble. None at all. "I highly doubt it."
Oh, of course, for the holidays..., "Will you be visiting James?" it was very likely, Treyen still asked instead of assuming...
...speaking of James...
..."Actually, Cassie..," because Neptune was not around, "...I...," he started to say, shifting in his seat to see her better, "...can I ask you something?" he knew she'll say yes, but he gave her the gift of choice.

She smiled at him, a bit touched that he thought she couldn't land herself in trouble. Well he had but she had managed to not lose any house point which was good. She would take a month in detention if it meant she wouldn't end up disappointing her house-mates.
"Aww well I'm glad you think I can't be bad, but I haven't been the good little Puff Puff I should be and I kind of feel crappy because I might have disappointed Professor Hadley." Worst thing eveeer.
As was expected, the mention of James had her glowing and she quickly nodded at Treyen." Yeah I'll be visiting him soon, where ever in the world he might be. Hopefully it's somewhere with lots of sun and a beach."
Hmm?....She looked at Treyen with a curious gaze. Ask her something? Anything, thats what she was here for, didn't she tell him that? He therefore shouldn't look so nervous. She smiled encouragingly at him." Sure ask me anything, as long as it's not Arithmancy or Runes related..."

"Wow this looks great. Now we need some drinks and some food. Be back in a second." Minerva ran to her room and grabbed the stash from their last gathering. She came running back down stairs. "Here is a cooler of sodas and a few bags of chips!" Minerva was ready for some fun!

Penny thought a trip to the kitchens was in order to grab some food and refreshments for the party....
"Do you want to come and help get some food from the kitchens with me?", then looking at the decorations again she said..The rest of the team should be here soon - they are going to love what you've done here...thank you!"
Aaron stumbled into the common room, half blinded by the mask-hat-badger that had shifted as he hopped down to the castle after the game. He swung his arms around in the air and managed to stay upright.
'HUFFIE VICTORY!' He pulled the string on his hat again, 'HUFFLE'S GONNA PUFF!'

Minerva laughed at Aaron. Go figure. "Hey Aaron catch." She threw him a Dr. Pepper.

Alyssa walked in limping still sore from the game. It looked like someone had decorated the common room. She was happy that the team had won despite her clumsiness. She warily dragged herself to the couch.
Penny laughed when Aaron made his entrance....."So how was it from the stands - I mean was it a good match to watch?"
'Marvellous.' Aaron said, hugging Penny and almost falling over again in the process of doing so. 'So, you mentioned food?'

Aaron turned around and flashed Minerva a grin as he clumsily caught the bottle of Dr. P. 'Minnie, have I ever told you I loved you?!' He downed a few large gulps of Dr. Pepper before jumping onto a small table. 'DOES THIS MEAN WE PARTY?!'

Minerva saw Alyssa limp in. "Oh Alyssa are you ok? Great job today, but I thought you were not on the team this year. I'm so confused. Well I think I was confused the entire game." Minerva laughed this was fun. She turned to Aaron "Oh stop Aaron your just saying that because I gave you Dr. Pepper. There is more in the cooler by the way and YES it's a party!!" She was getting ready to go get a pop herself when she saw Violet come in. "Hi Violet so glad you decided to come! Do you want anything to drink? Hey Alyssa do you want anything?"
Aaron grinned down at the first year hugging all the people. He yelled at her and stretched a hand out. 'I suggest we dance, ickle firstie.' He stamped a foot on the table before gulping down some more Dr. Pepper, he had an idea that he was going to get along with this firsty JUST FINE.
'I suggest we do as well, biggie fithie!' Violet laughed, grabbing his hand. Ah, this was awesome. She was making mates and everything.

Penny saw Alyssa come in.... even though they had won Alyssa looked down about something.. Walking quickly over to her friend she asked "Hey chick, what's up, you look like you've got the world on your shoulders"... Penny didn't like to see her friend upset.
