Hufflepuff Common Room
 

Anyone ^^
 

Evelyn entered the common room...FINALLY.

After a rather interesting train journey and an awkward conversation with Lewis and Keefer, she was in the common room. YAY. She immediately made her way to the couch next to the fireplace and plonked down, before resting her head against the back of her seat. It felt she was home again. She was a little upset about the fact that she wasn't going to see Trey around this year though. Yeah, she'll miss him..a little. Anyway.

The seventh year stared at the fireplace with a small smile on her face. Yep. She was quite excited for classes to start.

Minerva felt like she ran to her comfy chair and dove into it. "It's good to be back" she said to no one, but she knew what was going on out in the castle somewhere and she felt so nervous about it. She curled up in her chair and pulled out her two way mirror setting it on the table beside her so she could see if there was movement. Resting her head she closed her eyes it had been such a long day.

Nate walked up to the hufflepuff common room. He looked around to see that he was the third one up there. He took a deep breath as he entered. I'm so glad to be back here in the common room. Nate thought. He looked around. He immediatly went over to the fire, and sat down in front of it. He couldn't wait until classes started. Espeicially with two new teachers. He was wondering what the new charms teacher would be like. He just sat down in a casual position facing towards the door to see who else would enter.

Alyssa quickly entered the Common Room and checked to see whether Oakey had beaten her there first. She grinned when she didn't see him at all. She had won her bet!! There was no way that he could have already gone up to the boy's dormitory. All she needed to do now was to figure out what she would ask as a prize for winning. While she waited for him to show up, she made her way to the couch and noticed their House Prefect sitting there.

Alyssa had intended on saying hi and congratulating her on being picked House Prefect but never had the opportunity to do so, but figured that now was a good time as any. "Excuse me, do you mind if I join you here on the couch. My name's Alyssa but everyone calls me Lyssie. I never did get the chance to congratulate you on being made Prefect." Alyssa stuck out her hand to the older girl.

Evelyn continued to stare at the fireplace..when she heard someone enter the common room. She turned to find one of the younger hufflepuffs. She just gave the girl a smile and was about to turn towards the fireplace again when..she noticed that the girl was walking towards her.

OH. "Not at all." Evelyn said, nodding towards the seat. It wasn't like she was busy or anything..and it would be nice to talk to the younger Badgers. She hadn't met a lot of them. "I've Evelyn and you can call me Eve. Nice to meet you Lyssie." She smiled again before she shook the girl's hand. "That's alright. Thank you."

Nate was watching to see the people come in when he remebered he had drumsticks in his backpack. So he reached in his backpack, and took them out. He then started to tap the ground with them. He would at least try to entertain people as they walked in. He might as well sing to if he was going to drum a tune. So he reached in his backpack, and grabbed a notebook. He flipped through the pages until he found a song. He then started to sing in soft voice "I tried playing it cool. But when I'm looking at you. I can never be brave. Cause you make my heart race."

Damon walked into the commonroom. He sighed, she knew she didn't feel the same way... Knew she was going to turn him down... So why was he so upset? When he knew exactly what was going to happen... He looked over and saw Minerva. He walked to her and sat down, knowing he had to look a mess. His hair messed up and his nose twisted slightly from where Maxwell had punched him, "Told you she'd say no."

Apologies for taking so long to get back to you.
 

Alyssa shook Eve's hand. "It really is cool to finallly get a chance to talk with you. Treyen was a great Head Boy and Prefect for our house and I'm sure that you'll be just as awesome. It's weird how I haven't been able to talk with you in the last two terms I've been here. I guess I've been too involved in classes and Quidditch. I hope to be able to get to know more Badgers this year."Alyssa told the older girl.

Louise walked into the common room it had been a long but good day she was happy to be back

As Alyssa was talking with Eve, she noticed Louise walk in to the common room and she called out to her,"Hi Louise, glad to see you back here in Hogwarts. How's things with you?"

Alyssa quickly turned back to Eve when she realized belatedly that she had not excused herself before calling out to Louise. "I'm sorry that was really rude of me to do that. I just wanted to make sure I said hi to Louise before she got lost in the crowd of the others coming in." Alyssa apologized to the older girl. She hoped that their Prefect didn't think that she was rude.

and Lyss too xD
 

When Messer entered the Hufflepuff common room, he was greeted by a homey feeling. Its good to be back. He went toward one of the empty couch. How he missed the Hufflepuff couch. Its the best couch ever! Maybe he need to persuade Mummy badger so he could bring one of the couches home.

He was lost on his own little 'couch' world that he almost didn't see his current female prefect and Lyss sitting not to far from him. "Hello, Lyss. Ready for the new term?" he asked the older Hufflepuff. Then Messer eyes went to the new Arya which Keefer said that her name is Evelyn or something. "Hello new prefect." he greeted her with a smile. "I'm Messer. Congratulation on the badge."

Evelyn looked slightly amused at the girl's excitement. "Thank you, Lyssie. That's nice of you to say." Evelyn said with a smile. Yeah, Trey was great but if she'll be as good as him...that remained to be seen. "Me too." She was planning on meeting new Badgers as well. "What year are you in?" Evelyn asked curiously?

Evelyn smiled when Lyssie turned to greet someone...when she started to apologize? Erm. Why? "That wasn't rude at all..and there's definitely no need to say sorry." Evelyn reassured the girl, still a little confused but she just let it go.

Evelyn turned to find a young boy who congratulated her. She gave a wide smile before she said, "Thank you. Erm..I've Evelyn, by the way." Evelyn said, extending her hand, the smile still present on her face. She was quite excited to meet the youngsters.

Minerva must have dozed off in her chair, but awoke as soon as she heard the voice. She opened her eyes and turned her head, once seeing Damon she sat up quickly. "Oh Damon, your nose..I'm going to..." she moved past then when it registered what he said her mouth went into a frown, but the rest of her face a bit of shock. "Oh she did? Damon I'm so sorry.." she put her arms around him trying to comfort him. "Want to talk about it?" her mind raced trying to figure out away to help him that didn't involved doing something to irritate Maxwell for breaking his poor nose.

Laura was bored, she really wished she could think of something fun to do but what, then it came to her, but would she get into too much trouble for doing it, well if she did she didn't care, but how would she do it though, and could she trust someone to help her, maybe Minerva would help if she asked her, but she was taking to someone who Laura didn't know.

Minerva got up without even thinking. It hadn't even crossed her mind yet that this could be good things in the future between them. Friend mode had kicked in and her thoughts were at his poor nose and helping him get through this. "Where do you want to go?" She grabbed her bag throwing her mirror back into it. "Hope you didn't try to get me with the mirror, I guess I fell asleep."

Minerva came back into the common room. She was about to head to her room when she saw Laura. "Hey Laura what are you up to? So you didn't get me in any trouble for your hair did you?" a smirk across her face.

Laura smiled, "No I didn't say who did it I just said it was a friend." Laura had suddenly decided what she was going to do. "I think i'll go into the corridor and check something." Laura looked at Minerva trying not to giggle and then left the room.

He sighed, "Anywhere besides here." He really couldn't talk about it infront of all these people, so he stood leading her to the exit.

Minerva breathed a little easier, she didn't want to care about points this term or de..she shook her head not being able to say the word, maybe she hadn't changed as much as she hoped. Then Laura left, "Okay." she stood standing there..

Minerva followed Damon out the door.

She saw a girl say hi to her "yeah I am good happy to be back at Hogwarts, how was your summer" she smiled at the girl, she then saw a girl next to her "hi my name is Louise 3 year, it is nice to meet you" she put out her hand for her to shook,

Minerva walked back into the common room and found her favorite chair off to the side near the fireplace. She tossed her bag to the side and sat down pulling at the hand she was holding so he would sit right next to her.

Ella entered the common room and plopped down on the sofa with a happy sigh. The term was already in full swing and there was a lot to look forward to like classes and friends and maybe Quidditch if all went to plan. The second year looked around and smiled. Yup, it was good to be back.

Damon followed her in and chuckled as she pulled on his hand. He took a seat next to her wrapping his arm around her.
