The official home of the Lions, the Gryffindor common room, is found on the seventh floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The entrance to the common room is the portrait of the delightful Fat Lady, and in order to gain entrance to their home away from home, Lions must know the password and speak it to her.

This terms password is ‘Humbugs’.

Be sure to remember those words...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 to enter Gryffindor Tower. Once you're lucky enough to scramble through, you'll find that the common room is a circular area full of squashy armchairs and tables. To the side of the common room you will find the study tables and bookshelves which are equipped with the resources and materials required to complete any homework assignments. Fixed to the wall by the windows you will find the noticeboard for classes and other school announcements.

A window looks out onto the grounds of the school, and a large fireplace takes up one side of the wall. It's the perfect place to relax and hang out after a long day of classes. If however you are in need of a nap a good night's rest then 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. Be sure you don’t go breaking any of the rules by attempting to go up the wrong staircases. Boys don’t stand a chance of beating the enchanted staircase, and frankly girls should know better.

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 or your Head of House lurking in the shadows.

Maybe he could kidnap Bay away and they could live on an island where chocolate frogs grew from trees and bikini-clad veelas served them piña coladas on silver platters.

The boy’s expression seemed a little surprised when Bay explained what his father did for a living - or what he knew of it, anyway. Huh. That was really interesting, actually. “Perhaps he’s a top-secret agent for the ministry or something?” he suggested. Whatever it was, it must’ve been an awesome job. At Bay’s following comment about getting kicked out, he laughed lightly, though he wasn’t sure if the boy was entirely joking.

Lou shoved his friend playfully as the boy suddenly belched, laughing like he’d just heard a joke for the first time. Hey, mature as Louis often was, he was still just a teenage boy and dumb stuff like this amused him to no end. “Merlin, mate! I’m going to record one of your burps one of these days and I’m going to show it to Lux. It’s not very gentleman-like,” he threatened playfully, though he had a feeling it would only endear the girl even more.

"you better rescue me.. I barely survive there on my own.." he started to laugh more.. looking at his best mates face he saw him thinking.. "I wonder what he's thinking about?" he looked really in thought..

"ohhh… maybe.. dude… i… have…no…clue" he paused in-between his words.."I don't know if I will ever find out" shaking his head.. theres just some things that parents don't tell you.. but for Bay it was a lot of things he didn't know. Bay was suddenly shoved by Lou… "no you won't.. or i'll record you snoring and let everyone listen to it" he threatened him.. of course he was joking but he did not want Lux to hear that.. "pfftt around you I don't need to be a gentleman… ahahah" he eyed his friend, he was his best mate.. if he couldn't burp or fart in front of him what good was he..

Bay started to laugh some more.. "and you sonar a lot" so he would have plenty of ammo to go off of.

“Don’t worry, mate. I’m the Ron to your Harry,” said Louis with a laugh as the two boys considered the idea of rescuing Bay from his sweets-devoid lifestyle. “Hey, maybe you can come to my house next time. I mean, during the winter break or something,” he suggested with a grin. Perhaps he could smuggle some candy into his friend’s house over the summer, but if Bay could visit him during the winter, he could have all the candy he wanted without having to have it smuggled into his room.

At Bay’s next comment about not needing to be a gentleman around him, Louis gave a playful girlish gasp. “Is that how unimportant I am to you, Bay?!” he asked, playing the role of offended girlfriend before laughing. Oh geez. He wasn’t usually this silly, but with Bay around it was hard to keep a straight face.

Oohooh but then his best mate was getting serious about their little threat battle.
“What?! I don’t snore!” complained Lou, brows furrowing. He didn’t, did he? “But if so… then, like you, I blame it on the old age,” he added with a chuckle.

Lucas was like EXHAUSTED and his mind was conjuring up thoughts of lazing in an armchair by the fire with his blanket. Cough. Erm. "Common" blanket. Whatever.

He fumbled through the porthole (was it just him, or was he getting less flexible?), straightening without ease. Every single bone in his body was aching. He groaned pathetically and slumped into the nearest armchair.

Hmph.

Talikins · 03-11-2014, 05:15 PM

It was rather quiet in the common room as Abbi -well hidden in her made blanket fort- scribbled on a notebook. It was the usual scribbles that included the typical sparkly-green-tinkerbell-like fairies along with 'Roda' and 'Lucas' surrounded by all different coloured hearts. Her admiration for the page was rather high and she was pleased with her work but when she heard some scrambling outside her fort she at once shut the notebook closed.

No one was to see, no, never ever ever ever ever.

Peek.

Her eyes popped out the entrance to her fort to see Roda flopping on one of the sofas not too far from her. He didn't exactly look himself, maybe a little in pain, but gosh still as gorgeous as ever.

Happy sigh.

"You look like you need a soft hug...and I sort of owe you one." Did he get where she was going??

Bay laughed so hard he let some gas go and he was so surprised by the noise he laughed even harder as he fell to the floor… putting his shirt over his nose, just in case it smelled real bad.. "i'mm …… ahahahahahah wrong to your harry" he said in-between laughing. quickly moving away from Louis for he knew that a punch would be coming his way..

"are you sure you want me to come to your house now?" he said while getting closer to the fireplace.. "your very important to me… who else could i do this in front of" pointing to his rear end.. and giving his best mate a wink.

"you so do snore!! and i can always prove it to you, ~~and its not due to old age~~" moving his eyebrows at him… always trying to keep an arms throw away just in case..

It wasn't like he hadn't noticed the blanket fort, but the rest of the common room was just so loud that he hadn't noticed the slight shadow of a human inhabiting the drapery. Or was it the fact that his eyes simply were NOT what they were before? Nonetheless, he did gasp a little when Abbi appeared beside him.

Wasn't she a sight for sore eyes. No literally. His eyes were sore and she was now diffusing the light of the fire.

"Abbi?" Best to make sure these days. He'd thought Robin was a witch. Terribly insulting it was. Oh yes. He could use a hug. He stretched, wincing as some bones cracked loudly.

"Yes. C'mere," he said, outstretching his arms. He was so totally cool about this. Inside, his stomach was doing a jig, his heart racing and despite his best efforts, his face ruthlessly betrayed him. "You totttttally don't owe me though." SHE TOTALLY DID. "But.. aren't we still.." and he looked around at the few clumps of people still sitting around in the common room. "..in public?"

What a dummy. If she had no objections, WHY DID HE.

Talikins · 03-12-2014, 04:32 PM

Was that wincing? What brave act of heroism did he get himself into then? Hmmmm? Did he climb a tree and fall whilst fighting a monster on one of the brances? Or did he find that spider again only to be chased by it and injure himself? Whooo knew...well he did. Duh She was totally going to ask him...in a few. For now she kept onto topic.

"Its me, Silly." TSSSSK. Did she look like someone else to him????

Gosh. Really. Did he have any brain cells today? Or were they damaged thanks to the cause of whatever led to this wincing of his. Not to mention his cheeks were reddening too, or was that just because of her. Hehehe, blushy face.

With a DRAMATIC sigh Abbi gave Lucas an 'Are you serious?' look before finally calling him over and inviting him inside the blanket fort. "I think your brain needs a check up. Come inside HERE." If he could. He could walk right?

It was her. Lucas squinty-squinted at her a bit more. Well.. she certainly looked herself, a little older, sure, but then who didn't, these days? He peeeeered a little more, focusing on the voice and the posture. Ah yes. The sass was strong with this one. "Hello old friend," Lucas greeted and then smiled crookedly.

He rolled his eyes and heaved himself out of the chair, coughing over the distinct sound of several bones cracking viciously. Merlin. What he needed was the hospital wing. "Down.. in there?" He did vaguely recall having been inside the fort at some point but right now, it seemed so difficult. So far away. So close to the ground with so little apparatus' for getting up again. But his brain weighted that up over the prospect of a hug and his BRAIN wasn't going on 60, so he knelt down and crawled into the fort.

"My brain is fine, lass. It's my knees that aren't so cooperative." YEAH. "Maybe if my brain had aged I wouldn't be so blushy," he mumbled, mostly to himself as he got comfortable, leaning over a pillow.

So.. "About that hug.."

OLD? What was that supposed to mean? Did he mean they were old friends as in they had been friends for years, which they hadn't had that opportunity yet, or did he mean she looked old? DID SHE LOOK OLD? ...Cough. Maybe she'd grown a bit here and there but she looked NOTHING like he did. Come to think of it, he was beginning to look like some grampa, Bart too and the Professors.

Huh. .......Was something strange happening that Abbi was a little clueless too? Or maybe it was just something she wanted to turn a blind eye to for the clear reason that it honestly looked frightening, not that she was scared. NO NO. She was never ever ever ever ever ever ever scared.

~~Cough.~~

.....................

Looking old but acting like a baby? ERM. What happened to being DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUS?

"Mhhm. Down here." She watched him slowly crawl closer, feeling just a little bad she made him get up now. "You don't look alright...or yourself." The scrutinizing took Abbi quite a while as Lucas finally made it to the fort, she wasn't used to his gorgeous features looking this way.

HUG THOUGH. FINALLY.

Her arms stretched out wide open and very gently but all smirkingly she gave him a feather-like, minute-long hug. Didn't want to hurt him any more so she knew to be delicate. "One. I like your blushing...even though it's a weakness to feelings." Cute little thang."Two. Do you want me to check your legsies?" Cause nobody would see and therefore no cootie talk was brought up.

With that Abbi grabbed her pillow and made sure to sit rather closer than she usually would have.

Abbi was just so preeeeetttttttyyy (!!!!!) and it wasn't it even that far relative to how much he'd waited for this hug. But he did pout at her, when she called him old. "I've.. gained the wisdoms." Which was code for he'd gotten several more crows feet and recessive rheumatism.

Yeaaaaaah. The cricking was totally worth it for this hug. Lucas BEAMED. He kind of breaaaathed her in quietly because how long until his next hug, huh? He didn't even realise he was doing it until he realised how good it felt.

He giggled quietly when she said that his blushing was cute. It made him blush again. UH HUHHH. "Tis not. It's just honest! My face sometimes tells you what my brain can't" ..yep. He watched her shuffle closer to him, all wide eyed and stare-y at her. "Well, could you?" Except his face lit up like a light bulb and he pressed up a little against her.

Talikins · 03-23-2014, 04:33 PM

Huh?

He didn't seem much clever, really. If anything he was saying real silly things. Well whatever he meant then. Abbi just shrugged it off as if it totally made sense to her. Like why make complications at a time so beautiful as this. "I'm still more clever than you." That's all he needed to know on that matter, she just had to make sure.

That was the intention, to make him giggle. Okay it wasn't, but giggling was a good thing right...even if it was a little girly. STILL cute. No matter what anybody ever said. Even Donny giggled, anyways. "TSSSSSSSSSSK. It means you can't control those feelings. Theyre spilling out through you." Not that Abbi minded too much. Those feelings were for her right??? Cept. NO NO. She would not fall love sick now. NO. Just warm ups for now...yep. Nothing more.

Nodsies. "I sure can." She didn't want to leave his side though. He was so pleasant and he had a smell that fitted perfectly to his looks. Maybe she needed to steal his clothes sometime when she could, would be a good aroma in her dormitory. Eventually she bent forward some and pressed quite harshly on his knee. She SO ~~did not~~ know what she was doing. "Feel anything?" Well, did he?

Seeing that Bay was in Gryffindor he wanted to share his art work and his love for Pluto with his housemates.. standing in the middle of the common room Bay tried to figure out which wall he wanted it on.. hmmmmmm he put his finger to his mouth… like it helped him concentrate..

thank goodness not to many people were here.. so he could take his time a bit.. pulling his last poster out he smiled at it.. "Goo PLUTO" smiling he moved over to the wall near the stair cases.. "this is perfect" okay now was time to put it up… just like he did the other one, he used his permanent sticking charm and placed it on the wall.. "done" he felt proud of himself..

Now that this was done Bay just need to go up to his room and grab the rest of his homework and submit it.. phew.. Bay was getting tired thanks to the old age thingy to bad he had more walking to do…

SPOILER!!: Pluto Poster 2

Lucas nodded empathically. This was an indisputed fact. "Yeah, uh huh. I'm just saying I have acquired some wisdoms." Considering how dumb he could sometimes be, anything was a step up.
..It was a good thing she didn't think he was a total stalker too, right? "They're like leaking," he said, going along with the metaphor. But it wasn't something he wanted to dissect. She made him blush, like a lot and she gave him weird feelings in his tummy but that was as far as his brain could analyse it.

Lucas sucked in a huge deep breath, sucking it in through his teeth in shock and hurt. "Merlin's fuzzy armpit," he whimpered, after a beat. "Oh I felt it," he squeaked, coughing to regain his manliness. MANLINESS. "You don't wanna go into Healing do you?" JEEPERS.

As long as he knew she'd always be the cleverest. That's how Abbi liked things. She liked to be at the top, in most cases and liked to be in control too. "I think you need some more wisdoms." She giggled about, just teasing with him rather than really implying he was stupid.

Noddy nod. Leaking they were, which wasn't really usual for boys, it was usually the other way around. "I'm the one that's supposed to be all blushy, blushy, you know?" Did he? Cause maybe he didn't know that, maybe that's why he let them leak out so much, them feelings. Heh.

.........Well. That was a reaction. At least she knew he wasn't paralysed or anything.

Except, what was she supposed to do now? Put stuff on? Bandage it? Who knew? She looked up at him and answered his question before looking down at it leg again. "Not really...I wan't to be a vet though, well maybe." Cause animals were REAL cool and it be quiet fun to work with them daily, no? "Why?" Yeah, she wanted to know why he was asking that anyways, was she that good at her work. "I think we shoooould..what do you want to do with your leg?" Maybe he had a better opinion on how to handle it?

Mackenzie slinked into the common room, she was exhausted, between homework and classes, and the stresses from owling her gran daily she was over this year. Honestly her depression had hit a new high. She hadn't really spoken to any of her friends, classmates, she was barely passing her classes and she didn't have anything to show from her decision to come back to school so fast.

Mack finally made it one of oversized chairs, plopped down in it and pulled her legs in front of her. After the ten minute attempt to drag her bag into her lap she pulled the book her housekeeper had gotten her from a muggle book shop in London. The binding was beautiful, she allowed her fingers to trace the letters.

SPOILER!!:

She couldn't wait to beginning reading this.
