 The Lions' Den
 Once you've given The Fat Lady the correct password, you'll enter the Gryffindor common room. On one side of the room is the game room; on the other are the study tables. At the back of the room are two spiral staircases leading to the dormitories: boys to the left, girls to the right. Two lion statues sit on either side of each staircase. Don't forget to give them a pat before heading to bed; you're sure to get a roar or a purr in return!
The circular space is decorated in the signature Gryffindor colors of scarlet and gold, and there are plenty of plush armchairs, sofas, and beanbags for lounging. The room's most prominent feature is a fireplace; over its mantel hangs a portrait of a lion. A large portrait of the house's founder Godric Gryffindor adorns the back wall. Several other tapestries and paintings depicting animals and famous Gryffindor alumni decorate the walls - who knows? You may even find some of the famous Harry Potter himself! There's also a plaque and a bulletin board on one side of the room. Don't forget to read up on important announcements!
this room is your home away from home during your time heare at Hogwarts. So, relax, take a load off!
Start-of-term Party starts here!
School may have started, but summer is still going strong in the Gryffindor common room! The entire room has been transformed into a tropical paradise.
The sofas and armchairs have been replaced with benches made from surfboards and stools in the shapes of tiki heads, and the floor has become a sandy beach. Several palm trees and flowering tropical plants decorate the room, and there's a row of mermaid fountains that play music as a hidden machine fills the room with bubbles. A swimming pool sits at one end of the room while a cabana at the other end serves delicious tropical fruit smoothies. If you ask nicely, a house elf will whip one up for you!
(OOC: This party will last about 2 weeks OOC. (around May 20). I'll post at the end to close things out.) |
