Welcome to the Gryffindor Common Room! Boys dormitories are upstairs and down you your left, girls, the same on your right. You'll find all of your belongings have already been been brought up.

Here is the perfect place to relax after a hard day of school, study, trade chocolate frog cards, play exploding snap or gobstones and to just have fun with your friends. Please don't let it get too messy...

She sighed and came out of her reverie. "What about you?"

"I'm not sure yet. I mean I like it well enough but I haven't done much. I've not met most of the professors yet. Plus all this weird personal stuff has been happening. I've gotta admit I haven't been focusing all that well. I guess you're right, Hogwarts is prone to weirdness." Kristyn looked toward the fire wondering what Gwen was thinking about.
"Hey I'm going to head to the lake, I'm feeling kind of restless. Feel free to come along." Kristyn smiled.

"Going to meet anyone, or just feel like walking?" Gwen said carefully.

Isabeaux walked into the common room and looked around. Not many people about, she guessed most had not come back from classes yet. She found herself a big fluffy chair and flopped down into it. Wow, her classes had been rough. She was zoning out while she waited for dinner.

whende · 10-25-2007, 01:26 AM

When shoved her way through the portrait hole. Her eyes stung with tears. She hadn't cried in so long. Her tears were hot, mad, and beyond upset. They'd had all the time from the dungeons all the way to the top to blurr her vision, sending her knocking things over and stumbling on the stairs. She could hardly see was in front of her. She collapsed into an armchair and tried to wipe her eyes.

Symbi0sis · 10-25-2007, 01:27 AM

Patrick looked up from his slumped position in the armchair to see Whende curled up in another chair across the room. He got up, kicked his bag for the fun of it and then crossed the room. "Hey, When, what's up?" he asked fingering the chain around his neck. It was made of random pocket junk.

Krissy Moon · 10-25-2007, 01:36 AM

climbing through the portrait hole Kristyn released Topaz from her grasp. "Now you be a good kitty and go up to the room!" Flopping on a chair near the fire Kristyn spotted Taylie's Owl Mal outside the window with a letter attached to his leg. Springing up from her seat she ran to the window to let him in. "Hi Mal! Is that letter for me?" Kristyn asked excitedly as Mal stuck out his leg. Untying the letter she pat Mal's head and gave him a treat. "thank you Mal, you can go up to the owlery now." Kristyn whispered.
sitting down at her original seat Kristyn turned the letter over in her hands repeatedly. she wasn't sure she wanted to read what was written inside.

whende · 10-25-2007, 01:44 AM

When sniffed. She could barely see his outline. "I... Just... Polly," she muttered. She tried to wiggle into the corner of the chair. But no matter what she did, there wouldn't be room for both of them to sit in the chair side by side. She stopped wiggling, frowned, and wrapped her arms around her knees; a pathetic little ball.

Symbi0sis · 10-25-2007, 01:52 AM

Trick sat down on the arm of the chair smiling sympathetically. He put his arm around her shoulders and bent his head forward so his mouth was close to her ear. "Now, what'd she do?" he asked quietly so the over-excited first year wouldn't hear.

Krissy Moon · 10-25-2007, 01:57 AM

Deciding she wasn't ready to read the letter Kristyn stuffed it into the pocket of her robes. She was getting hungry so she headed out of the portrait hole and towards the great hall. she looked back once. "I hope Whende is alright. Poor thing looks like she's been crying."

Sam walked into the common room swung himself on the couch and picked up his guitar. he started to play one of the songs that was stuck in his head. Strumming the cords, he closed his eyes and let the guitar do its thing.

whende · 10-25-2007, 01:59 AM

Whende coughed and burried her face into Patrick's chest. "She just... well..." What was she supposed to say? Polly called me stupid and mismatched? No. That wasn't it... "I yelled at her," When said, her voice small.

Of course. She was overreacting. But she didn't yell at anyone. Ever. Didn't lose her temper. Didn't raise her voice. This, of course, excluded David. But Pauline? It was all so stupid. And yet, she couldn't get herself to stop shaking.

Symbi0sis · 10-25-2007, 02:15 AM

The guitar music in the background was not adding to the ambience. Patrick tried to block it out of his ears while he stroked When's forehead. "When, it's okay to get angry you know. If she made you angry it's okay to yell at her." he said comfortingly. Her fingers were visibly trembling. He used his free hand to hold one of hers still. "Calm down," he continued.

whende · 10-25-2007, 02:22 AM

"Is it?" Whende swallowed. Her voice was thick when she spoke again. "And she called me mismatched." Her muscles relaxed when he held her hand. She swallowed again and slid her other arm around Trick's torso. "And I... I cut my finger," she added. The tip of the index finger in his hand was wrapped in a hot pink magic Bucky band-aid decorated in silver stars and moons.

lost without rupert · 10-25-2007, 02:30 AM

SAm could tell that the people in the common room didnt want to be bothered so he put the guitar around his neck and left heading down to the swimming rock to play by himself.

Symbi0sis · 10-25-2007, 02:35 AM

"Most definately okay," he assured her. "What's wrong with mismatched?" Trick asked with a sort of laugh in his voice, "I like mismatched," he said honestly. Patrick looked at the band-aid. It was a pretty one decorated in stars and moons. "Aww, poor baby," he said laughingly. "Does little Whende need Trick to kiss it better?" he added with a babyish tone in his voice.

whende · 10-25-2007, 02:41 AM

She'd stop crying, but she had successfully dried her cheeks of onto Patrick's shirt. "Nothing," she said after a moment. When didn't argue with the little comment. She felt awfully little. "Yes," she said. Pulling his hand up with it, she held her finger in front of his face. "And stupid," she added, wrinkling up her nose.

Symbi0sis · 10-25-2007, 02:49 AM

His shirt was wet with When's tears but he bore through it. "Exactly, she was complimenting you," Trick continued. He kissed the tip of the starry finger and put it back down on his lap. "There, all better," he said switching easliy to his babyish accent. "Stupid, eh?" he asked accidentally slipping into his newly acquired Scottish accent. "Well, what does she know? I don't think you're stupid. But now tell me why were yeh fighting?" he continued still sounding distinctly Glaswegian.

whende · 10-25-2007, 02:55 AM

"Yes," When agreed. "Complimenting." And she believed it. Trick really didn't have to do much to make her believe anything. He could tell her the sky would turn green tomorrow, and she'd set up a camera to take pictures.

"Yeah, stupid," she nodded, her face rubbing against him. "We were fighting about... um... OCD. And then sock drawers. And then stones and glub- What did you do to your throat!?" She pulled her face away from him and raised her band-aid hand up to his neck to pat it gently.

Symbi0sis · 10-25-2007, 02:58 AM

"Huh?" Trick said when When touched his throat switching immediately back to his regular English. "What about my throat?" he asked staring at her. "Why all that?" he asked returning to the argument.

whende · 10-25-2007, 03:07 AM

"Well, it... sounds funny," she said slowly. She let her hand drop back into her lap. "First I asked if that crazy professor lady was OCD. And Polly got mad at that." She started off thoughtfully. As she spoke, she slowly sat up straighter.

"That's why she called me stupid. Apparently asking professors if they're OCD is a very stupid thing to do." When was barely tall enough. She pressed her ear up against his throat and went on talking. "And I didn't want to make the potion. So I told her I had to sort my sock drawer. She didn't like that either. So we argued and stuff. About sticks and stones. And rubber and glue."

It was getting harder to remember just exactly what happened. She was quiet for a minute, just listening to his neck. Or would be if necks make a noise aside from swallowing and that. "Do it again," she said quietly.

unicornlace · 10-25-2007, 06:57 AM

Angel sat down by the fire. She was looking around for her friend Sapphire but she was no where to be seen. Being a first year she didn't know many people and sat alone. She then took out her Potions, Transfiguration, and Defense Against the Dark Arts books, (her three favorite subjects) and was trying to decide which one she wanted to read first.

Moony · 10-25-2007, 04:08 PM

Aura entered the Common Room having just woken up. She rubbed her eyes and saw her kitten sitting on a window sill. She picked Bastet up and stroked her affectionatley. Since she hadn't had anything to eat in so long, she decided now would be a good time to get some dinner.

"What did I do?" Trick asked confused. He didn't notice when he slipped into other accents, he was just going with the flow of the conversation. He laughed when he heard When say there was a crazy professor lady, "What crazy professor lady? We have those?" he asked.

He shrugged slightly and said, "Well, it's not exactly the nicest thing to call someone, you know." "Erm, how come you were doing a potion with Pauline?" Patrick asked when she got to the part about potions. Potions was his favourite subject and his best but Whende wasn't brilliant at it at all. "Why would anyone get mad at socks? I like socks." he interjected after Pauline's sock comment. "And why were you arguing about craft projects?" he asked after the story was told.

"Do what?" he asked even more confused when the conversation changed tack again.

Potterwatch07 · 10-26-2007, 02:17 AM

Isabeaux crawled through the portrait and entered the common room, with her bag of books dragging behind her. Ugh, what a long day. She decided to take her books up to the dorms, and then head down to get some dinner.

PhoenixFeather2 · 10-26-2007, 02:31 AM

Sapphire walked in to the common room and spotted her friend Angel. she walked over and fell into a chair by her. "Hey,here you are ive been looking for you, what have you been up to?" said Sapphire.
