Gryffindor Gryffindor Reading Room


[ map ]

Nestled comfortably between the stairwells to the boys' dormitory away from the hustle and bustle of the central part of the common room is the reading room - complete with a long bending book case that takes up the entire back wall. You'll find several desks and chairs arranged comfortably to assist you with your homework and studying. For those that are looking for a quiet place to read and unwind, there are a few beanbag chairs strung about. Whether you're working on a project, completing some homework or simply want to relax and read, you've come to the right place.

As you enter, however, your eye is not drawn to the inviting looking study tables or bean bag chairs, but rather a large boulder that is situated off to the right of the entrance. If you go around to the back of it, you will see a gigantic pair of googly eyes glued on as well as a smiley face painted with white paint. Lions, say hello to the Gryffindor common room pet - Pride. He is large enough for any lions looking to climb upon and is especially useful for those wanting to brush up on looking down or working on their ROARS. Just be sure to treat Pride with respect and the occasional pat every now and again.

All in all, it is the perfect place to sit with friends and tackle any homework that comes your way. The most important thing to remember is not to stress. Remember, help is always given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it. So if you need advice, ask a peer or a professor, or even a portrait, who knows where you will find your answers! The portraits in this part of the common room may be especially helpful to you as they are all former Heads of Gryffindor House. From Godric Gryffindor to Uric Oapley to Minerva McGonagall to Seren Bentley... they are all here! Even this one stern looking woman whose portrait is just off to the right of the bookcase.


Gryffindor Common Room design is based on the drawings by Whisperwings

Default For anyone~

Bianca was setting up a tripod in the reading room. Why, one might ask? Because she intended to take selfies with her favorite rock ever. AKA Pride the Rock.

Also she planned on making every passing person take a picture with the rock too. So she fiddled with her equipment and set up to take a million portraits with the rock. Anyone who said they didn't want to would be made...

For yearbook purposes of course.

Gryffindor Common Room. Home to many different little nooks for doing things. Quite useful, especially when you were a fifth year who's freaking about your OWLs. Pft, totally not talking about Zander Adair over here.... Or actually.

Either way, the Gryffindor was tired of staying cooped up in his dorm room, so he grabbed both his Runes textbook and his Charms textbook-- as it was mainly Charms day, but it was ALWAYS Runes day-- and carried them down the ever-so-looping stairs. There. Now erm, study tables. Those always provided a pretty good place to get working on things. Besides, a lot of the Gryffindors tended to stay away from those which made it a nice quite spot for... taking a nap.

AHEM. Studying. A nice spot for studying. HA HA HA oops? Studying that's what we said. Not napping. Pffft.

Zander absentmindedly waved hello to Pride the Rock as he made his way over to one of the long tables, also avoiding eye contact with a certain former Head of House's portrait because it was much too early to get distracted by ahem. Anyways. Charms. That's what he was going to work on.

First of all it was a crappy day because her and Adi still weren't talking. She STILL didn't have any unicorns, and oh yeah, her grades sucked. There was a cherry on top, of course there was. AJ was hungry. Or hangry rather. This moody AJ was new, and she absolutely hated feeling this way. Trying her best to shake off her feelings she made her way down to the common room with her jar of pet spiders.

There wasn't any familiar faces in the common room so she aimlessly roamed around and she found herself in the designated study are. GROSS. The lion was just about to turn on her heel when she spotted Zander. Just the boy she needed to see.

He looked like he didn't want to be bothered, but since when did that matter to AJ? The correct answer to that question was never. She pulled out a chair and made herself at home beside him. "Sup." Once she was comfy, she placed her jar of spiders on the table between the two of them. "I have a proposition for you." Zander was probably hoping that she had forgotten since she hadn't gotten with him sooner about this little "suggestion", but nope. The time was now.

Zander was probably hoping that she had forgotten since she hadn't gotten with him sooner about this little "suggestion", but nope. The time was now.
So... He had his book open... And he was-erm- looking at it... That was a start, right? Maybe not exactly comprehending all of it, but hopefully just plain staring would allow him to absorb some of the information by the process of diffusion or something. Yeah, could that be a thing. At least he was trying, okay? That's more than he could say for the likes of some. Just wanted not to fail out of Hogwarts that's all. Besides, he was probably doing a lot more studying than Bart and Aegis. So at least he wouldn't be at the bottom of the Fifth Year pool, right?

Just as he began reading the same paragraph-- mindlessly-- for the fourth time, he heard some footsteps. Not bothering to look up, the Gryffindor began the passage again. Merlin, this book was so dense. Might as well be a drilling manual, you know? You'd think that wizards would be advanced enough to create a spell that'd help you learn everything without having to read through pages upon pages of boringness. Sigh.

Huh? Okay. That was definitely the chair next to him. Did Gryffindors not know about movie theater etiquette? If there's an entire theater-- in this case, study table-- with empty chairs, you do not go and sit right next to someone else. There were so many other options and... And... AJ had to come sit at this seat? Wait-- AJ?! The Gryffindor didn't know whether to be completely terrified or thrilled. Things were always... Interesting whenever she came along. "Uh, hi?" When someone said 'sup' they didn't really want the whole 'how are you' thing right? Like... It was just a greeting... Right? Merlin, he needed to learn this hip lingo stuff. Maybe Damien could give him a lesson or something. And then he'd learn how to do the fist bump that AJ always insisted on.

Speaking of which, they could hold off for that right? And.... Why'd she have the spiders? "Proposition?" he lifted his eyebrows, trying to hide the ultimate concern that he had when it came to AJ. Merlin, he had thought she'd forget about the whole 'suggestion' thing she brought up at the welcome party. Though, wasn't everything always too good to be true? Gah. ".... Does it involve your spiders?" You know... Just taking a wild guess here.

Puck was about to head and well attempt to study when she spotted Bianca and grinned. She was practically skipping over to her really, that was how much she wanted to be there with B and her Pride and joy…grins.

“Hey Babe” she grinned as she took a bite of her red vine and walked over to Pride and leaned against the best rock ever in the most dramatic of fashion. “taking selfies with Pride again?” She grinned at her and held the candies out towards Bianca.

Finally done setting up the equipment, Bianca was ever so delighted to see one of her most favorite people ever - the Babe... AKA Puck. Beaming, she immediately snapped a picture of the Gryffindor prefect draped over the rock. "Hey Babe~"

She took one of the red vines that were being offered and took a bite out of it. Bianca nodded her head, gesturing towards the setup. "I thought I'd make a little photoshoot with my favorite rock... and make everyone else do one too." Grinning, Bianca finished off her red vine. "Wanna join? We can force people to take pictures with him!"

Which was totes fun. Bianca would know because she had done it before.

Does it involve your spiders?" You know... Just taking a wild guess here.


It technically wasn't considered disturbing someone if they weren't technically studying. Yeah, that wasn't a question, merely a statement. Zander had that same glazed over look that AJ got so many times when she was trying to absorb information and it wasn't happening. If anything AJ was helping him by letting him take a break and getting his brain waves working again. He was welcome. "What are you trying to study?" Maybe she could help. Yeah, she was a few years younger than him, but she was totes smart.

Was it just her, or was Zander kind of acting like he was hoping she wouldn't disturb him? Not that he knew it was her yet. If he knew that things would be different. AJ knew that much for sure. Just wait until you turn your face around and see who it is. You will be so delighted.

He was a man of few words, and that might be a good thing with what she wanted to go over with him. All he really needed to say was "yes, AJ. That sounds great." Or just any form of agreement on his part would be good. She would even take a nod. She was flexible, she was. He got a warm smile when he greeted her. No time to waste, eh?

"Yeah, that's one way of looking at it." Her own boyfriend was a prefect, but he was for the wrong house, and it was harder trying to get them to rally for her. Sure, Adi said that he would get a unicorn some day, but did this lion look patient? "You just have to keep an open mind." Heh. Her spiders? "No, these are my pets." The very ones Quigley said she could keep. Then a lightbulb went off in her head. "Actually, I do need your help with my spiders too." They would end up tying in to the proposition.

"Can you help me get them big again?" What was that spell? AJ decided the best route would be get help with the spell and then she could gradually ease him in to the idea of her unicorn farm brought to her by the brave house of Gryffindor.

Puck grinned over to Bianca and laughed. Of course she would help her out with getting people to take pictures with Pride. It was only the most Gryffindor thing to do. Right? RIGHT?

Puck grinned over to Bianca and nodded. “of course I will” she beamed “how are we going to do this? Maybe we should offer to give them cheek kisses?” or kisses in general because those were nice.

"I was trying to do study some charms, actually." Trying being the operative term here. He was trying. And failing. And then failing even harder because it was real hard trying to study when there was someone around who was obviously trying to keep you from trying. But, again, it was AJ. And he had promised her that he'd be around and willing to help... Was it too late to take that back? Because -uh- he wasn't aware that she'd actually use it. Which was stupid because again, it was AJ. There were a lot of unexpected things that he should expect from her. Always.

One way of looking at it? The Gryffindor tilted his head, hoping for an explanation. But again, it was AJ. An explanation probably meant some sort of unicorn speech again, and you know what... On second thought, maybe things were better off left unexplained. Yeah. "I'll try... But keeping an open mind isn't as easy as it looks." He would know. He reeaaaally tried to keep an open mind when it came to this girl. Really REALLY tried. But if the fact that he jumped into a pile of mud meant anything at all, then at least he really was trying, y'know? Yeah. He really REALLY was.

"Get them big again?" The Gryffindor considered asking why, but again... Maybe it was best he didn't know. Probably had another whole unicorn speech behind it. So yeah, never mind. "I guess that'd help me with my studying 'n all... Since I'm working on charms and everything. So yeah-uh-why not!?" See. Open mind. He was trying. "You should probably take them out first though, don't want them to get squished in the jar." MHM because that definitely would not work out. "But all it is, is a simple point of the wand and the incantation is erm... Finite!" The only tricky part is that 'Finite' is the counter spell for a lot of other spells and.... That meant that you really, REALLY had to think about exactly what you were trying to undo. Or else it just wouldn't work. Zander would know.

That meant that you really, REALLY had to think about exactly what you were trying to undo. Or else it just wouldn't work. Zander would know.


Most normal people would have took the whole "trying to study" thing as a hint that they were bothering him, but AJ on the other hand just kept smiling and listening to him like he was merely just telling her about his day. Another thought popped into her head, and when that happened that usually meant that the thought was going to pop right out of her mouth too. "I can totally help you." It was the least she could do. Maybe if AJ was all super helpful Zander would feel like he owed her one, and be even more open minded when it came time for her little suggestion. Man, was this chick smart or what?

Did Zander know that when he tilted his head that way that he looked like a puppy? "You would make a cool dog." Ahem. She was getting distracted and off track again. She had a tendency to do that. Oh yeah, open mind. "Of course it's as easy as it looks." It was for her anyways. She never really thought about how it may be struggle for others. "Maybe I just have a gift." Deciding to go ahead with plan B first AJ didn't elaborate on her real intentions just yet. That way if Zander said no she would have her spiders ready for her mission and she would just do it herself.

"Yup." See, she didn't have to always be needing big and difficult things done for her. Only she really did, she just didn't go there yet. YAY! He almost got a fist bump right then and there, but AJ decided at the last minute that he hadn't really worked for it yet. AJ was starting to get selective about this whole fist bump situation. "Good thing I stopped by then." Yes, AJ really thought she was being the helpful one in this situation. "Ah, good thinking." The third year unscrewed the lid on the jar, and leaned it over so they could get out comfortably. Her face was so close to the jar that her nose touched it. "Come to mama..."

Once Zander explained what she had to do, AJ smacked the palm of her head to her forehead. "You are so smart. No wonder you were top of the class and made prefect." Seriously, why hand't AJ thought of that? She was over thinking this whole situation. "I thought we had to use a whole different spell, but we don't because they were originally big and all we need to do is stop the spell." DUH. This was a relief because this chick wasn't the best when it came to spell work, and finite was one spell that she had done before. Hopefully this wouldn't take all day.

Another thought popped into her head, and when that happened that usually meant that the thought was going to pop right out of her mouth too. "I can totally help you." It was the least she could do. Maybe if AJ was all super helpful Zander would feel like he owed her one, and be even more open minded when it came time for her little suggestion. Man, was this chick smart or what?

Did Zander know that when he tilted his head that way that he looked like a puppy? "You would make a cool dog." Ahem. She was getting distracted and off track again. She had a tendency to do that. Oh yeah, open mind. "Of course it's as easy as it looks." It was for her anyways. She never really thought about how it may be struggle for others. "Maybe I just have a gift." Deciding to go ahead with plan B first AJ didn't elaborate on her real intentions just yet. That way if Zander said no she would have her spiders ready for her mission and she would just do it herself.

"Yup." See, she didn't have to always be needing big and difficult things done for her. Only she really did, she just didn't go there yet. YAY! He almost got a fist bump right then and there, but AJ decided at the last minute that he hadn't really worked for it yet. AJ was starting to get selective about this whole fist bump situation. "Good thing I stopped by then." Yes, AJ really thought she was being the helpful one in this situation. "Ah, good thinking." The third year unscrewed the lid on the jar, and leaned it over so they could get out comfortably. Her face was so close to the jar that her nose touched it. "Come to mama..."

Once Zander explained what she had to do, AJ smacked the palm of her head to her forehead. "You are so smart. No wonder you were top of the class and made prefect." Seriously, why hand't AJ thought of that? She was over thinking this whole situation. "I thought we had to use a whole different spell, but we don't because they were originally big and all we need to do is stop the spell." DUH. This was a relief because this chick wasn't the best when it came to spell work, and finite was one spell that she had done before. Hopefully this wouldn't take all day.

You know, most normal people would've taken the "trying to study" thing as a hint that they were oh, you know... Trying to study. But not AJ. Nope. She was not a normal person. Which wasn't a bad thing, just a uh... She was... unique. He'd give her that much. "You wanna help me study?" He must've been giving her the most skeptical look ever. No offense, AJ but... You just don't like the sitting down and studying type? But then again, neither was Zander. First time for everything though. Ahem. "But uh, yeah... Sure, if you want." It was nice of her to offer anyway.

The Gryffindor was about to continue when-- Whut. A cool dog? Where in Merlin's name did that even, "What?" tilting his head even MORE this time. Though, he'd take it as a compliment more than anything else. He like dogs. They're great. The best even. Not like cruppy level BUT ALMOST. Anyways, now HE was the one getting distracted and... Where were they? Oh yeah. Her open mind stuff. Whut. "Yeah, uh maybe?" he scratched his head, but tried to sound as convincing as he could. Though uh. Yeah.

Zander just watched couriously as she talked to her jar!spiders. Hm. Interesting.. Opening his eyes widely as she turned back over to him, he gave her an encouraging smile. "I am!?" No one had ever called him smart before, well besides Sophie Brown but she probably didn't really mean it. Just trying to make him feel better about himself. But AJ, she sort of meant it right? This made the Gryffindor slightly straighten his back and he couldn't even try to restrain the smile on his face. "Well, it, uh... Was nothing special, actually. I only remembered because I just went over that part in my notes," they had used the same spell to practice on with their jars and... Writing things down seemed like a good idea since the Ravenclaw Prefect did it so often. And he's A RAVENCLAW!

"It just takes a bunch of concentration though," he nodded. Merlin, he was actually enjoying this teaching stuff. Made him ACTUALLY feel smart, you know?

Why the surprise, Zander? "Of course I do." After all it was the least she could do considering what she was about to ask him. Plus you get more flies with honey or whatever that lame saying that her dad always said was. Cool. He was game. "Want me to quiz you or is it spellwork?" Because she could do either, and it was spellwork welllll, she would try really hard. Maybe a competition would be helpful. It worked for her anyways.

Awww. He even titled his head more, just like an cute puppy. "When you tilt your head like that you remind me of a dog." Geeze, get compliments often? If he was actually trying to convince her about this whole open mind thing he wasn't doing a very good job. Him being so cautious could work out to her advantage. Maybe he would be too scared to say no. Hmm... this could be interesting.

Zander, Zander, Zander. He needed to OWN his awesome qualities. "Of course you are, and don't let anybody tell you any differently." Insert finger snaps and neck swerving here. "You were still able to help me out." So that was special, and that sounded exactly like something a smart person who was modest would say. Zander was totes smart.

"I can totally concentrate." PFFT. AJ was known for getting distracted easily, but she was going to focus, she really was. So, um. She could make her spiders all big here, right? Yeah. As good of a place as any. Without any warning she picked up her wand and pointed it at the closest spider. "Finite." It was still small. Sigh. Did he have a while?

As good of a place as any. Without any warning she picked up her wand and pointed it at the closest spider. "Finite." It was still small. Sigh. Did he have a while?

Of course she did? What. Who in their right mind would want to studying?? Granted, she probably just wanted to do the helping part and not the actually studying which meant-- Hey! That's actually real nice of her. Huh. The skeptical look he had been giving the girl only moments earlier faded into a small grin of appreciation as he pushed his book towards her a bit. "I'm only trying to memorize this list of charms and what they do," he said pointing to the whole lot of 'em. It was going to be a long day, okay? "So maybe quizzing?" That'd be the best approach. She could say the charm and he'd have to remember what it did and Merlin. It may actually end up being very difficult. Sigh.

AND also, how come everyone always said he reminded them of a dog? Or a puppy? Or hmph. He didn't want to be seen as a helpless little puppy. Maybe a crup. But not a puppy, y'know? There was a difference. ".... Is uh... Is that supposed to be a good thing?" Just checking. 'Cause you could never really be too sure with AJ. Never ever.

You know, for someone who had walked over with all the intention to keep him from studying, AJ was actually some really great company. Again, he found himself smiling in gratitude. Huh. "Thanks, I'll... I'll keep that in mind," he embarrassedly looked down at his textbook for a moment before looking back up. "Anyways, glad I could help. It's the least I could do since you offered to help me and all too." Look at these lions helping each other out. Hufflepuffs weren't the only kind souls around here, okay? This was proof. Or just about it, anyways.

Letting out a a small chuckle, he watched as she cast the-- Oof. That didn't do anything did it? Uh. "Alright, erm, you've got to imagine it exactly how you want it to turn out... Since 'Finite' is kind of a counter spell for a lot of things... You've got to be real specific." Or uh, at least that's what Zander figured. Though, uh, it did make a lot of sense, right? Had to. Try again, AJ! Zander was rooting for you MHM.

Try again, AJ! Zander was rooting for you MHM.


There was an actual smile happening right now. This was new and quite frankly, AJ liked it. Zander always seemed so nervous around her, but for the life of her she couldn't understand why. AJ really was SUCH a fun girl. Besides, she hadn't even hurt anybody in her entire hogwarts career. Well, if you didn't count the whole tackling Ian thing, but that hardly counted because he put HIS lips on HERS and AJ wasn't having it. She just wasn't. There her mind went wandering again. Why did that happen so much? Anywho, where was she? Helping Zander so she could help herself. Only, she really did like helping a friend out even if there wasn't any gain for her. "I can help with that." She could totally take the list from him and have him read them off to her. "If you forget something I could smack you with my wand." You know, only for motivational purposes, and whacking people WAS kind of fun. "Oh, and if you get it right you can have a jelly bean." Yeah, she was still stuck on the whole Zander being dog-ish, and dogs totes liked treats.

Was that a real question? "I mean, it's not a unicorn, but before I knew about this whole magical world, dogs were my favorite creature." Did that answer his question? "So, yeah... it's a good thing." Just in case he wasn't a 'read between the lines' kind of person.

Did she embarrass him? She could see the nervousness creeping back in and the eyeing of the textbook. "You should," she said simply and let the subject drop because she could so be a good friend. He recovered quickly because eye contact was happening again. AWW! Did they just become BEST FRIENDS? "What are friends for?" He still had to prove himself for the 'best' title.

"Okay. I want a big, FAT, juicy spider." So, all she had to do was think about that. She could do that. AJ closed her eyes for good measure, and thought about a spider big enough to carry her out into the forbidden forest and lead her on her unicorn quest. Eyes opened once more, she cried out "FINITE!" No warning was given, only a shriek, and THE SPIDER WAS BIGGER! More shrieking happened. "Thanks, man." This is perfect." The spider was HUGE and was taking up the entire table while his many legs dangled off the edge. AJ climbed on to its back because she had to know that her plan would work. There would be absolutely no time for errors once she set out. Looking down, she smiled at Zande, and have him a thumbs up. Plan B was a go!

There would be absolutely no time for errors once she set out. Looking down, she smiled at Zande, and have him a thumbs up. Plan B was a go.


You know, AJ Valentine was full of surprises today. Actually, wait no. She was like that most days, except today it was a good surprise as opposed to just a surprising one. Did that even make sense? Uh. Where were the Ravenclaws when you needed them? Sweet Merlin. Um anyways, right where was he? Surprises. Yeah, AJ offering to help with his studying was pretty surprising, but very much appreciated. Still smiling at her he pushed over his notebook, "I've got most of the ones we've talked about written down here..." he explained while flipping through a couple of the pages. "And incantations are on top, with what they do written underneath," he pointed at one just as an example and everything. His handwriting could be hard to follow sometimes... Oops. He tried to keep his cursive nice and neat though, well, for the most part. O____O Smack with her wand? Uh. But before he could even protest, the jelly bean thing got his eyes all big and happy. "Ooooh jelly beans! Yeah, that's brilliant." Forget the smacking thing. He was going to eat every flavor of Every Flavor. Mhm.

This method also sounded a lot like the way he had to train his cruppie over the summer. Gave her a treat every time she did something right and soon enough she'd learn that you're not supposed to pee anywhere inside the house. Except Zander already knew that so this kind of learning was for more knowledge stuff. Ahem. And not that he particularly minded being trained like a dog because apparently being called a dog was a good thing? "Just checking," dogs were his favorite even AFTER he knew about this whole magical world so being compared to them wasn't all that bad, actually.

O_____________O

And that's when AJ got the spell right and the spider grew to THE ENTIRE SIZE OF THE TABLE???? UH. Is THIS really what she was imagining?? Zander wasted no time jumping up from his table, taking a good three steps back in the process before turning to her with a bewildered expression on his face. "UH. AJ..... Why in Merlin's name do you need a spider this big?" Please say for a school project. Or for homework. Please.

Why in Merlin's name do you need a spider this big?" Please say for a school project. Or for homework. Please.


He had notes. This was something that AJ definitely needed to get better at. Sure, she sometimes jotted down stuff down in class, but she was the furthest thing from organized. Not to mention that who knew what happened to those notes when she left the class that she took them in. Thank goodness for Adi. "You seem pretty organized." Why were the boys better at it than her? Maybe it had everything to do with this being their owl year. Yeah, she was going to go with that. His handwriting was about as messy as hers, but that was good. It meant that she would be able to read it. See? Totally a dog. His little puppy eyes practically lit up at the sound of a treat. AJ was totally a good study buddy. Time to test him. She had no time to waste. A spider army wasn't going to build itself.

AJ scanned her finger over his notes and landed on a charm. Oh no. They were NOT going to go in order. Memorizing them in order would get you no where, Adair. Still, if you had them memorized did it really matter what order? They would soon be finding out. "Aparecium." He had better give her all the details in order to avoid a good whacking. AJ rummaged around in her pocket and pulled out tons of jellybeans. She popped on in her mouth and chewed slowly. How bad did he want it?

Why did people always step AWAY from her when she did great things? Was it just too hard to be that close to her awesomeness? If that were the case then she could understand that. Okay. She had put this off long enough, and he HAD helped her. Her goes nothing. "Well, I was going to ask you for help since you are all powerful." Her eyes darted towards his badge. "I need a unicorn like yesterday, Zander. I thought you could possibly assemble some troops and make that happen for me. I think people would listen to you." Yes, she was still getting to the 'needing a spider' thing. "This is my plan B. If you tell me no..." Insert puppy dog eyes here. "Then I plan on taking my own personal army of HUGE spiders out into the forest and getting my own unicorn." AJ was getting a unicorn one way or the other. She was prepared and would totally be safe. "Is there a spell that can make them attack on command?" Just in case.

"Uh, do I?" he scratched the back of his head as he gave his notebook one last sweeping glance. Well the handwriting got a bit wonky as you got further down in the notes, but only 'cause his hand started cramping half way through. Though he was quite proud of this set. It took a while too actually and he didn't write a single word of it during class. But, suppose that's what he's got to do now since OWLs and all.. "I tried to model them off the notes my friend Lottie sent me to be honest... Just need something legible for exams this year, they're not normally this neat. I pinky swear." Because did having neat notes make him look nerdy? Because he wasn't nerdy. BUT if AJ was going to call him smart again, he wouldn't protest to it. He liked being called smart, actually, despite how he may shove off the compliment entirely.

Anyways, he took his eyes off his notes finally as AJ began to read through them herself. Aparecium. Um. That wasn't the first on his list. Merlin, he should've known they weren't going to go in order. AJ wasn't exactly the conventional kind girl now, was she? "Erm.. Wait DONTWHACKME! I know this one," he did just had to think for a moment, okay? "That's what the old gossip magazine was called... Because... It makes invisible ink appear!!" RIGHT? That HAD to be it. Just incase he shrugged down a bit because if he was about to get whacked, then might as well be prepared y'know? Ahem. Not that he expected to be whacked or anything. Ahem. But he did want one of those jelly beans she was taunting him with. REALLY REALLY wanted one and to show it, he eyed them very intensely, licking his lips as he did so. He hadn't eaten dinner yet, okay?

Uh.

How was a boy supposed to react to the words 'giant spider army' exactly? Because Zander must've been doing it wrong. There was a lot of blinking involved. And a lot of questionable looks. And he was still trying to process all that AJ was saying because uh, had she gone ABSOLUTELY INSANE OR WHAT?!?! "Uh.... I don't think you can exactly train a bunch of wild spiders, AJ... What if they turn on you?" Just trying to be practical here. Because wasn't that the first thing you had to think of when training a giant spider army and-- Okay so maybe not. But when exactly had Zander Adair been logical? This was just a step forward for him, alright? He was also avoiding the question. Could she tell?

"Uh, do I?" he scratched the back of his head as he gave his notebook one last sweeping glance. Well the handwriting got a bit wonky as you got further down in the notes, but only 'cause his hand started cramping half way through. Though he was quite proud of this set. It took a while too actually and he didn't write a single word of it during class. But, suppose that's what he's got to do now since OWLs and all..

"Yeah, you do. I am nowhere near this organized." It wasn't her own year either so truth be told she wasn't that worried about it. Why worry today when you can worry tomorrow? AMIRIGHT? Not that she would worry then. AJ already knew what she was going to do with her life and some stupid tests would not deter her either way. Adi would die if he heard her talking like this. Good thing he wasn't around then. A smiled crept on her face. It was as if he was trying to find an excuse as to why he was all smart and organized. AJ didn't need to be impressed. Own it, Zander. Be you. That was what was impressive. "Looks like Lottie taught you well." Who was the Lottie person because she might come in handy. But, she did have Zander so that would work too.

Erm? Erm? AJ's hand twitched towards her wand. It was looking like she was going to be able to smack Zander early on in their study session. Thank goodness she was here because Zander was in serious need. Her hands were just about to tighten on her wand when he said he knew it. "Let's hear it then." He had about one minute to think then it would be wand whacking time. He got it just in the nick of time. "Correct." Now he was to be rewarded. "You get a treat." Roll over. No, AJ, he wasn't really a dog. AJ picked up a red one and tossed it over to him. Her fingers scanned his notes again. "Avis." More skipping around happened, but this one wasn't too far down the list.

This was why Zander was scared of her. All of the signs were there, and she bet if she wasn't helping him with his studying he would suddenly have to go to the bathroom and never come back. AJ was glad that wasn't the case though. "Why not?" You can do anything if you just believe. HEHE. "My sweet and precious babies won't turn on me." She was their mama. "You don't bite the hands that feeds you." Wait a minute. "I can train them by whacking them with my wand." Wand whacking sure was useful. "If they get whacked enough times they will learn to fear the wand." Oh man. "I could totally be a Ravenclaw." Take THAT sorting hat. "So what do you say? Will you help me or will there have to be a plan B?" Really, the ball was in his court. If he didn't want to risk the spiders turning on her all he had to do was agree to help her.

Will you help me or will there have to be a plan B?" Really, the ball was in his court. If he didn't want to risk the spiders turning on her all he had to do was agree to help her.

All these compliments, it completely caught the Gryffindor off guard. Though, he must've been in a pretty miserable place if the best compliments he got were about his notes. Or maybe that was a-- Actually, no. He wasn't going to think on it. Instead, he ran a hand through his hair and just laughed rather awkwardly. Apparently he was very awkward around Aj... Had this always been a thing because really he was just starting to take notice of it now. Oops. "Yeah, looks like she did." He grinned rather stupidly, nodding along because really Lottie was AMAZING. And if he had picked up anything that she'd taught him, well, that was also AMAZING. And he'd take it. Speaking of which, he had to write her again at some point.

But no time to think about letters to Lottie. He was about to get SMACKED WITH A WAND. Which by the way, was not necessary-- IT WASN'T because he knew exactly what he was doing. Only needed a little bit of memory jogging was all... Only a bit. Of course the fact that she was tightly gripping her wand didn't help him come up with the words, but once he was able to get the right answer out he physically relaxed. Thank, Merlin for that one. Miracle. TREAT. TREAT. TREAT. He had forgotten about that part!!! So focused on not getting whacked, thankyouverymuch. He opened his mouth widely as she threw over a-- oop. Missed it. BUT there was still hope because it bounced off his chin right onto the table. Hehe. Good. It would've been a waste otherwise.

And Merlin, AJ didn't waste any time, did she? Already on to the next one. Avis?? Uh. UH. UUUUHH?? The Gryffindor was drawing a blank already and it was only THE SECOND CHARM. Quickly, he popped the red jelly bean into his mouth. He was busy chewing, see? And trying to buy some time. Also holding out a finger so that she'd know not to whack him yet.... Key word being yet because still not really connecting the dots. Though uh, birds? He was able to make that broken connection, though uh, broken. "Doesn't it make birds shoot out of your wand and peck peoples eyes out or something?" he sort of asked as he finished up the last jelly bean bits. Um. Or something?

....
..
O__________O

So were they just going to ignore the fact that there was a GIANT SPIDER sitting on the table orrrrr????!!!??? Zander was not a fan. The older Gryffindor shifted his WIDENED eyes from AJ over to the spider back over to AJ then the spider then to AJ then the-- What. Whack them? Uh. Not entirely sure spiders would respond to that AJ... Clearly not Ravenclaw material. Though uh, neither was he. So uh, good on ya sorting hat. Good on ya. "Okay, yes just no spiders, alright?" He was eyeing the thing too. Shiver. Even though he wasn't entirely sure of plan A, it was better than a GIANT SPIDER ARMY?? "So uh, you're going to shrink this thing back now, right?" Did she know how to do that, or did Zander need to teach her that one too? He didn't mind. It'd be more practice for him. And the spider wouldn't be as massive SO YES PLEASE, THANKS.

It seemed lately Benny had been spending a lot of time reading, whether it be his notes from previous lessons and library tomes for studying or various textbooks for help completing homework assignments and everything else in between. The current halfway decent spring day was no exception, the fifth year staked out in the reading area of the Gryffindor common room with a potions book lying open in front of him. He had been reading it over for a while, trying to keep track of information on potions ingrediants that might be valuable in his OWLs. He had promised Adi that he'd at least try not to fail that exam and while he hadn't been doing bad in classes, it wasn't easy for the Gryffindor.

He hadn't even noticed when he had started reading the same passage over again as his brain seemed to freeze. Or the fact that his random yawning likely caused by his late-night studying the night before had turned more and more frequent. If either had happened, Benny might have registered the moment his head fell forward and rested on the book in front of him on the desk he had been working at. Or when it was pretty certain that the fifth year might be completely asleep in the position he currently was in.

Was she in the reading room for reading? Most certainly not. There was a cozy fireplace in the mainstay of the common area for such activities. Was she looking for something to read? Most definitely. Textbooks got boring after a while, and she wasn't one for studying. As long as she did well on her practical tests, that was all that mattered. The theoretical, well, hopefully it wasn't weighted as much.

Really, she wasn't sure what she was looking for. Just something interesting. What she was not expecting to find however, was interesting in the form of a housemate flat out on a book. For a moment, Amur just stood on the opposite side of the room from him, watching. Perhaps he was trying booking by osmosis. She had tried it too. Could have told him it didn't work.

Slipping up to the table, Amur considered the boy and his flop mess of hair. Yup. He looked gone. One hundred percent passed out beyond recovery. It would probably have been a good idea to poke him and make sure he wasn't dead-gone, but Amur's attention was snagged by the book that he had taken a face-plant to.

Putting her hands on the edge of the table, she twisted her head and shoulders about to try and get a side-ways read, rather than an upside-down read. It looked interesting. Too interesting to fall asleep on. Silly Gryffindor.

Decided that this was the book that she wanted to cozy up with, Amur considered her options. She didn't want to steal, but she didn't want to wake the boy either. A sudden thought came to her, and she borrowed a corner of parchment from his stack and his quill, scribbling down a quick note that said who she was, where she was going to be and where his book had gone to. Kind of like a kidnapping note, but without an attached ransom.

Using a bit of a sticking charm, she plastered the note right in front of his nose so he would see it upon waking. Then, it was wiggle-finger time as she considered the best way to approach parting his head from the book and avoiding a 'klunk' of said noggin onto the table. Pull and wiggle seemed like the best way, so she used forefinger and thumb to grip the books pages and gently, slowly and very carefully pull-wiggle it out from under his head.

His breathing was normal, if not relaxed as he lay there at the table sound asleep, nearly cuddling his textbook. In fact if anything it was the most calm and relaxed he had been lately, especially since the happenings with Professors Bellaire and Quigley. It was so much harder to study some subjects when he didn't have his wand to actually practice certain things with. Which in turn caused him to stress over them which made it harder to study the rest of the subjects as much as he wished to.

Benny wasn't aware that he had company in the room, nor that said company was currently watching him with interest. If he had, he would have likely been beet red in embarrassment at being caught in the situation he was in. As it was he was blissfully only conscious of what was going on in his head not what was outside it. The fifth year sinking deeper and deeper into the sleep that had previous alluded him.

The older Gryffindor let out a small snort as the note was stuck to his nose. The parchment making it itch a little and feel weird. And as the book beneath him was shifted by the firstie lion and her slow careful actions, his head in turn lulled to the side with a motion of his fluffy mop of hair. The movement thus freeing one half of the book but securing the other more firmly beneath his face. The rest of his body shifting slightly in his chair sleepily.

"Of all the ---" Amur huffed loudly as she retrieved her hands and planted them on her hips. He hadn't woken yet, sure, but this book-slipping was being a lot more difficult than she had imagined it would be. In an ideal world, it would have worked like a waiter yanking a tablecloth out from under dishware and place-settings without a thing being jumbled.

So what was she doing so wrong, that the book seemed more stuck than before? Amur leaned close, so close that her nose was almost touching the sticky note on his nose. Maybe she wasn't doing it fast enough. Those waiters just wiped tablecloths free.

Only problem was, this was someone's noggin that would go 'smack' off the table if she didn't do it right. Humming and hawing, Amur drew back and gave the boy a stink eye. Really. Why was he being so difficult about this? All she wanted to do was borrow the book, and she had even been kind enough to leave a note. He deserved a head thwacking for all the trouble that she was going through.

But then, wasn't there a -- ah ha!

Amur snapped her fingers and drew out her wand, pointing it at the table. And then she paused. Cushioning charm would work, but what if it didn't cover the portion of the table that the book was under. Then it would do absolutely no good. Amur eyed the mop-head for a moment before making her decision and casting the cushioning charm on the table. Hopefully, it worked. If it didn't, she had fast, but short, legs.

Satisfied with herself, Amur tucked her wand under her arm, grabbed firm hold of the edges of the book and offered an apology. "Sorry if this doesn't work. But while your head's heavy with all that hair, my curiosity is greater. So, you understand right? Right. Well then, best of luck and sweet dreams."

And all that. With pleasantries out of the way, Amur YANKED the book free.

And all that. With pleasantries out of the way, Amur YANKED the book free.


The girl's one-sided conversation covering her tracks and actions were met with seemingly deaf ears. No apology was registered to Benjamin Atreyu's mind and it wasn't as if he was even aware that there was something planned to possibly disturb his sleep. The sleep itself had been unplanned and the boy was in his own little world of dreams and peaceful measures outside the realm of school and professors.

Even with the cushioning charm on the table, successfully cast if you really wanted to know, the sudden removal of the book beneath him caused the fifth year boy's head to fall swiftly onto the softened wooden surface of the desk beneath it. Not quite with a thunk of body hitting hard surface but there was a whispered sound as one thing hit another. The dozing Benny groaned in response to the jerked movement and his eyes flickered for several moments behind his heavy eyelids as if he waking up.

But there wasn't an immediate reaction from the rest of his body and removal of the lion from his slumber. Instead his breathing from his nose gradually changed and started to rustle the parchment attached making another random sound. Which in turn started to nag at the Gryffindor that the offending breathing was coming from.

"Wha...?" Benny asked sleepily, still very much in a daze and half asleep. His eyelids ever so slightly lifting to allow a thin bead of light in his eyes causing another groan.
