He looked around, there were already several housemates ''Hi, people!'' he said and walked forward ''Hi, professor. I'm not late, am i?'' and found himself somewhere to get seated. Looked like his mom was rgiht about classes and doing homewrok as she used to be about everything else. Remembering that was quite annoying.

"No, you're not late at all, Josh," Antonio said. "We're just getting started."

"Yes, I agree," Antonio said excitedly. "I think this is something that should be kept in mind. If it is possible for Gryffindors to pair up with someone from their house, then it's probably not a bad idea. Otherwise, pair up with someone for the points, of course."

Chris listened as Professor Dumont talked about Jason's idea to have study session. He turned to the professor and nodded. "Yes I do blelieve us Prefects are planning on having some sort of study sessions start up that will envolve all the Houses, but starting a Gryffindor Study Group could work also." he nodded again.

"I agree," Antonio nodded at Chris' statement. "Maybe we could consider setting one of those up. Maybe a little area set aside in the common room would work?"

Jason had a good idea about partnering with Gryffies in class, but Dumont was right in saying that it wasn't always possible. Like in Herbology, when Jack partnered with Torin, a Huffie.

"I like Jason's idea," he said, finally speaking up. "About partnering with Gryffies. Dumont is right, though, and sometimes there aren't always opportunities to partner with someone of your own house, but that shouldn't discourage anyone from participating anyways! Like in that Care of Magical Creatures slash Herbology scavenger hunt, I partnered with a Hufflepuff and ended up having a great time AND participating in class," he explained. "But if Gryffies are avaliable, it would be great to partner with them for the same reasons--to make friends and strengthen our bond with people from our own house and create house unity," he suggested.

He blushed at his next statement. "Erm--I know one of the reasons I, personally, have fallen behind in homework is because of Quidditch. Perhaps we could post a few guidelines for time management on the bulletin board? That way people who are involved in clubs and teams won't feel so--overwhelmed," he suggested. "I'm catching up now though, I promise!" he added with a small chuckle, trying to make light of the situation.

Antonio smiled. "Ah, Jack. I want you to do well, of course, but yours is a special task. You need to concentrate on something very important, something that could be of great benefit as far as house points are concerned. And then, of course, there is the matter of glory." Antonio's eyes lit up with excitement, it would be so awesome if Gryffindor were to win the house cup! He felt just like a kid again as he turned to the rest of the group. "Not all of us play quidditch, but I would like to see as much support for the team as possible. To that end, I think it would be great to have those interested in creating posters to promote the team to get involved with that, and we could have a pep rally before the match as well. Of course, all wins will be rewarded handsomely. I have a few things in mind." Antonio wanted to be as shifty as possible, not giving away too much.

Which means if we keep it this way, just doing homework, the gap of points will remain. Maybe we can narrow it a little but they wont stop and let us pass, will they? So i say we really should do some extra things to gain extra points.'' he knew that was kinda an 'easy to say and hard to do' thing but it had to be mentioned anyway ''Maybe we can help others, do extra work, assist teachers, may even clean the Trophy Room, i dont know. Let's say whatever the professors would give out points''

If we increase our attendance and turn in homework, that still won't level out because the other houses are attending and participating just as much!"

Rafe raised his hand slightly as if passing a motion. "I mean, I'm all for spreading dragon pox to the other houses, keeping them locked up in their common rooms if that means closing in the gap between houses, but I have a feeling that idea won't fly," Rafe said with a laugh (and sarcasm, of course).

"And yes, doing extra things for points would be nice, but would that really be fair to offer it just to us Gryffies? Everyone should have the same opportunity," Rafe spoke, but couldn't believe what he was saying. "Pretty much, I think we don't have a chance! The early bird gets the worm, and frankly Gryffindor slept through the morning."

"Yes, that's an excellent point," Antonio agreed. "We can't just let Gryffindors get extra points for things, it wouldn't be fair. As Rafe has said, the early bird does indeed get the worm and I do think we have a chance, even though it may not seem that way. There is still a lot of time left in the term, and we just have to get going. Gryffindor is not that far behind, and I don't think all the points have been added in yet so there's still plenty of hope. Never give up! There is so much to work for."

Antonio paused a moment before continuing. "Back when I was at Hogwarts, I was in Gryffindor as well and we were lucky enough to win the house cup that year AND the quidditch cup as well. We can do that, I believe Gryffindor is due. It was a very exciting year for us, and part of the reason we succeeded so much is because we all worked together as a team. Do all of you feel like you are a team?" He looked around the room.
