The Ravenclaw common room is a wide, circular room at the top of the seventh floor. Graceful arched windows punctuate the walls, which are hung with blue-and-bronze silks. During the day, Ravenclaws have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. Overhead, the ceiling is domed and painted with stars, which are echoed in the midnight-blue carpet. There are tables, chairs, and bookcases, and in a niche opposite the door stands a tall statue of white marble: Rowena Ravenclaw. A delicate-looking circlet has been reproduced in marble on her head with the tiny words 'Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure' etched into the diadem. The statue stands beside a door that leads up to the dormitories above.

Come in, have a seat and make new friends. Welcome to Ravenclaw!

Ludo entered the Common Room and sat in a high back chair next to the Announcement Board. His gaze traveled to the ceiling covered in stars.

He looked around the room and saw Mari at one of the tables. "Hey Mari." he said, with a slight wave. "Your classes going well?"
It was then that a notice on the board caught his attention.

Dueling Club...Room of Requirement. he read. His eyebrows raised. He remembered something.

"Room of Requirement! That's what Jaques'd been talking about. Seventh floor Room of Requirement, of course!...I wonder how you get in...surely someone knows." he thought.

Livvy walked into the Common Room anxiously and sat down in a chair next to the window. She smiled at the people that looked at her and then sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair.

Livvy was a bit stressed out as she flipped open her Arithmancy textbook. But just by the look of it, she shut it once more. Livvy thought about the Dueling Club... she shut it out and decided to give Arithmancy another try.

Emily squeezed through the crowded common room. A girl had just walked in and had taken a seat with a cat. Emily bounced over and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hi. Cute cat," she said with a smile.

Emily sat down across from the girl hoping that she wasn't saving it for a friend or anything. "Mind if I pet?" she asked excitedly.

Her mother hadn't let her bring the family cat, Myra, to Hogwarts. Instead she had bought her an annoying owl that hadn't gotten quite used to her yet. It bit her a lot. Emily instinctively stroked her palm where a scab had started to form over her latest bite.

Mariska looked up as someone said her name, and she saw Ludo. She hadn't seen him since the feast, and she had begun to wonder if she had scared him away. She gave him a little wave and a smile as he spoke to her. " Yes, actually. and You?" She called out as he read the announcement board with a slightly odd expression on his face. She stood up, taking her book with her and making sure to hold her place. " What are you looking at?" She read the announcement too and she smirked. " Going to duel?" She asked, the smirk growing into a full blown grin.

Rachel quickly passed through the common room. She was starving and didn't have time to chat. She waved to the people she knew and exited the room.

Ludo looked back to Mari, blushing because he'd lost focus. "Sorry. I've been well. Hanging out in the Library..."

Mari asked him about dueling. "Oh, yes! I'm hooked on this announcement. I'd love to duel. But...Do you know how to enter the Room of Requirement? My brother Jaques told me all about it but I can't remember how to enter it...."

Mari smiled a bit more when Ludo blushed. " It's alright..." She started, and then she tilted her head to the side slightly as she spoke. " I thought I heard you, right after that...commotion in the Library." She said thoughtfully.

She gave him an apologetic smile and shook her head a bit when he asked her about the Room of Requirement. " I'm sorry, Ludo. I didn't even know anything about the Room of Requirement before... well before this moment." She said with a little laugh. She looked to the announcement again. " What's the room used for?" She asked, her curiosity now definitely awakened.

"Text book, schmext book," he remarked, waving his hand in the air in dismissal of the thought. "You shouldn't believe everything you read, you know. It's always best to get a first-hand look at things. Take the Giant Squid down at the Black Lake for example. You won't really be able to get the estimated number of suction cups it has in each tentacle unless you cut one off and count it for yourself. And you don't even need to worry about upsetting the balance or whatever, because as far as I know, that Squid grows another tentacle 10 seconds after the last one dies." He really did not know what he was talking about himself, but that didn't matter. As long as the girl believed him (maybe even enough to try it herself!), it would be hilarious.

Then she decided to be all spunky one second, and buddy-buddy the next. First years got weirder and weirder every term passing. "See, that's the problem with you people. You let your competitve nature get the better of you." Look who's talking, indeed! "That's why we don't get a chance at winning the Cup. All you guys concentrate on is study, study, study, to win the cup at the end of the year. Then you won't get to enjoy the school year, and the points will not be worth it. Aaaand, it's so much better to earn points when you're having fun, not tied up and all stressed." That was his rather insightful viewpoint. Truth be told, it wasn't every day Samson was like this. He just felt like it was time to make changes. Slight changes, of course. He wouldn't give up pranks, torments, teasing, and Gavin for anything. Heh. This also was the time he talked. A lot. And he hadn't even had a single dose of sugar anything in the past 24 hours!

"Just... really watch yourself, girl. Funny things happen around Hogwarts. Fuuunny things," he repeated, sending a wink her way. He would not, of course, tell her that sometimes he and his best friend were part of the mayhem. Oh. Speaking of mayhem. Character switch time! "I mean, look at you. Just now you are talking of nonsense and betting and other such immoralities that would surely taint your good name and the good name of dearest Rowena Ravenclaw. For shame!" He yelped, rising from his chair and pointing at the girl as though she were a traitor. "Betting is immoral, and I shall have to report you to the Headmistress come morning. May Merlin have mercy on you," he said as his voice got lower and is eyes squinted into little slits.

Change. And this time he donned a thick British accent, totally contrasting his previous American-English accent.

"And yes, you may call me Watson, dear lady. I shan't deprive you of the decision to not believe my name is truly that, but I suggest you make use of that, for I fear you may only be embarrased if you used any other." He nodded at her, as Sherlock Holmes' sidekick would, and sat closer to her. "And you, my lady, are?"

So Gavin's flirtacious nature was rubbing off on him, too? Eugh. Samson decided that, after this little quip, he'd be more careful of the changes he made in his life.

And even before he could wait for an answer from the other girl, someone else spoke. Ugh. It was one of those girls who thought they were better than everyone else, and that being angsty was the solution.

It was a really, really big turn-off.

...

AND SINCE WHEN DID SAMSON CARSWELL CARE ABOUT WHAT TURNED HIM ON?

He held back a shudder at the thought, and tried to shove them out of his head. Eh. Gross. Still, he wanted to make a come-back.

"I suggest you just keep your mouth closed instead of repeating your words - excuse me, I mean, your only word - over, and over, and over again. In case you didn't know, there are other people in this room that would like to listen to something other than a broken record."

Yep, he still had it.

And still, the Barry guy creeped him out. It was like he was this too-spontaneous-for-his-own-good kind of guy.

"Yeah? Well, like I told little miss skeptical over here," he started, pointing over to Nia, "The name's Watson, and if you wanna call me something else, I suggest you not do that, because I won't like it. And I can do what I like, thanks very much. Because last time I checked, this was a free country."

Oh. And he was a classic Ravenclaw know-it-all, too. How annoying. Or maybe Samson was just generally a bitter person.

Barry said "You shouldn`t belive everything you read either 10 seconds is just unsurd Watson"

"You can do whatever you want but I can say what I would like you not to do and I don`t like arguing so lets end that here unless you have a problem with me"

Why was it that every tall tale told to first years involved the squid? Will had tried something similar on her at the beginning of last term and she had played along for a moment or two. For funsies. And really why would anyone care how many suction pads were on each tentacle in the first place. She cocked her head; this Watson boy seemed to be debating for the sake of it but that was okay; he was pretty good at it.

Celandine opened her bag of chilli candies and popped one in her mouth thoughtfully as she listened further,

Well, last term they may have had the least housepoints, but Celandine herself had the most out of all the Ravenclaws; she'd had a whole bundle of fun doing it too even with the restrictions at Belles. It had been worth it. And she had gotten to skate around like a lunatic all the while. She found herself nodding toward the end of his comment even though Cela thought the ideas weren't mutually exclusive at all. The chilli candy was hot in her mouth and she continued to suck on it thoughtfully.

Cela stiffled a giggle at the performance, resisting the urge to break into applause. Whoever this boy was; he was an awesome actor. She popped another piece of candy in her mouth without even finishing the first and shook the bag idly.

As he lapsed into a character she recognised, Celandine did indeed emit a small giggle. This boy needed a stage! And...makeup! And....stadium seating!

And then he changed again, despite the fact that he was being quite rude to the girl, Cela found herself nodding enthusiastically in agreement, mouth full of extremely hot chilli candies. She would rather listen to the ranting of this Watson dude than a broken record any day.

Cela had to physically hold herself back from offering a standing ovation, she popped another hot candy into her mouth, enjoying herself immensely.

Barry gave Cela a look which said no handing out that candy

Barry hoped that he adn`t made another enemy in frount of Cela too! just be a nice understanding person Barry thought

Mari mentioned the incident in the Library. "Yes, that dumb Hufflepuff boy knocked out a Hufflepuff girl and Madame Kohan rushed her to the Hospital Wing. I saw the whole thing. Too much blood for my tastes."

A bit disappointed that she didn't know how to get to the Room, he rushed into explanation, lowering his voice. "Well...my brother and a bunch of his friends found it when they went here. I'm sure a few people know about it now. It's a room that supplies you with anything you need. Anything. But I don't know how to get in!" he whispered, a bit angry with himself.

hpfan4eva · 10-06-2008, 12:38 AM

Katelyn skipped into her common room cheerfully, humming a gentle, lovely tune as she went. She plopped down in the first chair she saw. She sighed and giggled to herself. She reached into her pocket, and out hopped a cricket. She had named it...hm. She didnt know what exactly to name it yet.

"How about...Cathy?" she asked tilting her head to the side as she asked the cricket. "Nah...that sounds dorky. How about...OH YES. Gerard!" she shrieked, gaining several funny glances her way. She didnt care, though. She giggled to herself again.

"I saved you from being eaten by a bird, you should be thanking me, mister gerard the cricket!" she said, setting the cricket on the ground, watching him hop around the room. The hippy's eyes sparkled emerald.

Mari's eyes widened as she heard firsthand the tale of the book throwing in the library. " What a uncivilized boy!" She said quietly. She then leaned forward a bit as Ludo's voice became conspiratorial and quietly. She smiled excitedly. " Really?" She breathed. " That sounds very...useful." She said after a moment. " Well, perhaps we could ask another student, an older one? Wouldn't they know?" She asked, eager to find this room now.

"BAH!!"

Jumping halfway to the ceiling, ponessa nearly tackled Kate from behind, squeezing her very tight, "OmigoshIMissedYouSoMuch!"

hpfan4eva · 10-06-2008, 01:07 AM

Katelyn shrieked with fright as Nessa TACKLED her to the ground.
"GERARD WATCH OUT!" she yelled, as she was about to fall on her new cricket!

"I missed you too Ness!" she said in her high pitched voice that was escalating higher by the minute. "AHHH!" she said excitedly, giving Nessa a BUG HUG back! "now, you almost squished Gerard, but thats okay! He's...somewhere..." she said, looking around the room for the cricket. Hmm...

GlassXRose · 10-06-2008, 01:22 AM

Ponessa didn't quite want to let go, but pointed under one of the armchairs, "He...went thatta way.", she choked, as both girls nearly squeezed the life out of the other.

hpfan4eva · 10-06-2008, 01:27 AM

Kate grinned, and though she was fifteen she had the energy and air of a cute, excited five year old. She dove under the chair, giggling all the while.
"How've ya been, Ness!" she said loudly, looking up at the girl as her fingers squirmed around under the chair, trying to catch him.

She laid her head flat, her eyes catching sight of the creatures shadow. She quickly grabbed the critter, and sat up, her head covered in dust from the floor. Her brown hair was a mess of a bun, and she smiled.
"Whooh! Thanks Ness!" she said thankfully, placing the bug on the table. "Now, you stay..right there...kay?" she said, getting eye level with Gerard the cricket. It chirped a bit, and hopped off the table.

Kate sighed. "Crickets just dont listen!" she said, throwing her hands in the air.

GlassXRose · 10-06-2008, 01:31 AM

She laughed, "You haven't changed one bit. Except you're a bit taller, eh?"

Looking to the Cricket as it hopped off the table, "Oh, not bad. You?"

She made to sit down, but paused to look under her for the cricket.

hpfan4eva · 10-06-2008, 01:38 AM

Katelyn giggled and nodded.
"No, not changed! Not even matured, according to Dan..." she said, rolling her eyes. "I'm plenty mature, right?" she asked, her emerald green eyes dulling as she become less excited.

She decided to sit on the ground. She would sit on the ground all day if it werent for desks.
"I am sitting on the ground..because...I feel the closer I am to the earth, the more one I can become with it..." she said, getting that hippy-like, far off sounding voice she got when she got all carried away....

"Oh I am positively excellent. I little more bruised than I'd like," she lifted up her shirt to show Nessa her bruised arms and legs and stomach, "But I dont mind!"

Ludo nodded at Mari's outburst to the Hufflepuff boy. "Yes I believe he's serving in Detention now. Madame Kohan wasn't one bit happy."
He listened to Mari's suggestion about finding the Room. "Sure. Supposedly it's out in the 7th floor corridor so we don't have to look far. Maybe Liz knows? Have you seen her recently?"

Mari shrugged. " Serves him right." She said succinctly. At the mention of finding the Room of Requirement, her green eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement. " Good. That means we can look now..." She trailed off as Ludo asked about Liz. " She was in Arithmancy with me, but after that I'm not sure where she went. I ran into a problem on the third floor and was stuck there for a bit." She said vaguely.

" Maybe we could look for it now, and if we don't find it, try agian when we find Liz. Or we could go find Liz now." She suggested, but even as she made plans to leave, her mind kept nagging at her to stay and finish her homework. She shushed that part of her mind, telling it that she would probably be back in the common room in fifteen minutes or less.

After answering a quite complex riddle, James entered the common room. He noted the crowd that was inside, and headed for the dorms. Halfway up the steps, however, he decided to make some more Ravenclaw buddies. He made his way to a small group of girls and smiled to them. He then recognized a girl he had met two terms ago. He wasn't sure if she would remember him, but it never hurt to try.
"Katelyn!" he exclaimed. "Do you remember me?" he asked, walking towards her.

Nia giggled at his impression of her voice. The batting of his eyelashes was not good though. He could do with some practice on that front. "You wouldn't..." Nia said with a smirk. "And you could send me up to room...but what then?" She raised an eyebrow.

"The same to you," Nia said with a small polite bow of her head. She was sure she could learn some stuff from this guy.

"Comfort drink...I guess the butteriness could be called that." She laughed. "Relaxes you?" She mirrored his raised eyebrow. "Of course it does..." she said with a knowing nod.

And soon enough, he was back in his seat, head back, looking like he was about to fall asleep. Had he really expended that much energy? Ah well.

Samson smirked at Nia from his chair, and rolled his eyes. He didn't even bother answering her question. "You've still got a lot to learn and a long way to go. But if you're so interested in it, I suggest you read up on it. You can read up on it all night as I send you to your room for being bad," he said, grinning wickedly.

"And I could use some butterbeer right now."

As he dropped himself into a seat Cela turned to Nia,
"High-five! We totally cracked the case of watson boy and the debate of the art of impersonation!" She held up her hand ready for skin.

"I'd like to see the squid." Cela nodded in agreement, "There was a penguin there the other day though and that was cool."

Cela nodded emphatically, "Yeah to boys! Cos they are cocky and think they can handle more than they actually can!" Cela gestured in illustration at Watson boy in his exhausted state on the chair. "Whereas we know our limits."

Cela nodded, "Oh yeah you can, if you make friends with them they will bring you stuff." and maaaaybe help cover your tracks if you were doing something you shouldnt.

Sam turned to Candy Girl, then. Woah, these two really bought the Watson quip, didn't they? Heh.

Though, he wasn't comfortable with their closeness. It seemed to them that it was okay to be all buddy-buddy with Samson like they'd known each other forever. He wasn't used to it! It was like his protective shell was suddenly insignificant and totally penetrable; like a little school boy afraid of catching cooties. Oh sure, he was going to be a bit more social this year, perhaps, but that didn't mean that he was going to be nice nice. Eh.

But he couldn't exactly help himself at the moment.

"Penguins? You should keep away from them," he said pointedly. "They may look innocent, but they're little gits, I swear it."

"And no, boys don't think that way. It just so happens that I haven't had enoug sugary intake before that little show of mine, and I was tuckered out even before you guys came it. So there."

"ooo, I'll have to go and visit them sometime. Their cookies the other day were awesome, and it'd be good to have a supply...." Her eyes lit up at the thought. If Nia missed anything so far, it was baking cakes and biscuits with her mum at the weekend.

High fives were so last year.

And he wasn't even going to argue with the cocky silly comment. Yeah, he did admit that he was cocky at times, but he knew where to stop. These girls didn't know stamina if it hit them in the face. He wasn't going to point that out either.

No. He was going to go back to quiet, brooding-phase Samson.

"Well let me know when you do; I'll come along!" Cela tucked her wand in her pocket and smoothed the lock of hair until she was certain there was no lasting damage to either.

"But for now..." Celandine flounced dramatically over to a chair and mimicked watsonboy's method of sitting and tipping her head back. She'd see if she could spot another pirate picked out in the whorls on the ceiling.

Sam looked abruptly at the two when Candy Girl suddenly spoke. "Oooohh no. I won't be responsible for you two getting eaten by that squid. I'm absolutely not going to take you anywhere. I refuse to be your baby sitter," he whined, wrinkling his nose in the process. Ugh.

He followed the girl with his eyes, and watched as she mimicked his sitting style. He raised an eyebrow and looked up as well.

"What is up there anyway?" he asked out of the blue, squinting his eyes with wonder.

And just as he was relaxed, someone spoke again.

He raised his eyebrow at the girl. "Oh? I didn't say anything about what you ought to call me. And where did you get Carswell? I always thought I was called Watson," he snapped, puffing his chest out proudly.

"Watson, Carswell, whichever one. I don't know," Emily said. Obviously she was annoying him. If he would rather relax or whatever then why did he keep answering her. "I'm a first year and I'm not quite sure how everything works around here yet."

Emily leaned back in her armchair and blew her hair out of her pale green eyes. She wondered why the first person to talk to her in the common room had to be so... how did you describe people like "Watson?" Oh, whatever. She was only a first year for goodness sakes.

He wasn't sure if she would remember him, but it never hurt to try.
"Katelyn!" he exclaimed. "Do you remember me?" he asked, walking towards her.

Katelyn whipped around, giving the boy a HUGE smile.
"Nope!" she replied, giving him a hug, though. "But you looked like you needed a HUG!" she exclaimed cheerfully. "Oviously, you know my name! whats yours? Sorry I dont remember you...rough few years, ya know!"she said with a wink. The happy hippy(teeheee) bounced up and down in gleee. She was very very happy.

Her cricket jumped up, and she dove to catch him. She stoood up and brushed herself off.
"This is my cricket Gerard. He seemed lost!"

"Thanks," Emily giggled. "And nice to meet you, Tess." She ran her hand through Oscar's fur.

"Hogwarts is amazing. I'm a first year, you know. My brother's waiting at home for me to send him a letter telling him all about what it's like here. Buuuttt my owl's being a little difficult so I'll do that later," Emily said. "Although there are a few quirks. I got lost trying to find the bathroom and there's a few strange people..." Her pale green eyes flitted to Samson/Carswell/Watson and then back to Oscar. She smiled down at the cat.
