After your journey through a door to the right of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall and down a staircase there, you find yourself standing before a still life painting. Upon giving the correct password, you are allowed access to a warm, welcoming underground room, decorated in the Hufflepuff house colours. Gathered around the large fireplace are several oversized and overfilled plump sofas, which resemble fluffy clouds, and a variety of comfortable armchairs scattered around for you to rest your weary bodies in.

A long table sits in the brightest part of the room (torches are lit all day long) for the students who would rather do their homework in here than in their dormitories or the library.

Portraits of past well-known Hufflepuffs hang on one wall, among them are Cedric Diggory and Nymphadora Tonks, who died in the dark days of You-Know-Who's power, as well as the Fat Friar. Remember and honour them as you walk to or from your dormitories.

Two perfectly round, barrel top doors are positioned on opposing sides of the common room. They both open to reveal underground tunnels which will lead you to your common rooms; boys on the right, girls on the left.

And the speak of that little blond girl.... honestly, it was like she and Jake had been long-time enemies and were taking it out in the common room. Shaking his head, incredibly frustrated, the sixth year decided right then that he would make a leave. Even though he had promised Jacob they would talk, Dominic knew that if it happened now, then it wouldn't end well. So it would have to wait for later...

So brushing past Christine, whom Dom momentarily had forgotten that he met like two years ago, as she took a seat on the couch. Giving her a brief smile of acknowledgment, the fifteen year old then continued on his way to exiting the common room. Because right now, he just needed some pain reliever and a long snooze. Something he doubted he would get from the common room or at the very least until WINTER vacation.

Without another real thought in mind, Dominic left the common room, with no destination or plan as to where he was heading... except for the need for fresh air. And maybe a polite conversation, but that wasn't top on his list.

OOC: imaginarynumb3rs is right... we'll just pretend as though they went to the kitchens / hospital wing, cause it'll get confusing otherwise. ;D ~~Especially with Zoe in detention now xD~~

...

Oh no, he did NOT just go there.

The fool left Jake... he was meant to talk to him, and he left. LEFT! Well... he'd pay for that... oh yes he would. Dominic Denton had better be veeeeeeeery careful with how he was towards Jake soon.

Maybe he should write to Kayla... about the MEAN MALE PREFECT!

Ignoring Jac, Jake just went and headed through to the boys' dorms...

He needed a lie down.

So, Eva did exactly what Sebastian had done for her four years ago.
"Ssh..." she comforted her friend but she didn't tried to dry her tears. Sometimes it was good to cry. This was one of those occasions.
She didn't mentioned she had been way with her godmother to stay away from her twin sister when the girl standing there was now an only child. It didn't seem right.
She wanted to say everything was going to be fine, but... c'mon. She had listened to all those things when Jason had passed away. Not a single one was true. Eventually the pain wouldn't be so much. But that kind of piece would only come many years later.

"You're here now." she didn't think of anything better to say. "You don't have to worry about the outside world just now." she paused. "It's okay to cry. It's okay to miss them, you know?"

There was another thing she wanted to say:
"There's not a reason for... theese things... to happen. They just do." she paused. It was still hard to talk about it. "You can't blame anyone, because there's not anyone to blame. And you won't feel good about it either..." she advised. Just in case. She knew what was on Tammy's mind.
"Ssh.."

"I know. But why me? Of all times. 5 weeks old. Thats all she was. And now ive only got Nat and you. Jason hates me now. And Jack's upped and left. I dont think I can cope E." She whispered the last couple of words and she moved a bit further away from her best friend.

Flipper · 06-09-2009, 07:11 PM

Was it too bad if she used Sebastian's exact words.
"There's not a good answer for that." after four years, she hadn't been able to find her own answer. Why her father? Now Tammy was asking her the same about her sister. "I don't know."
All she knew is that she still had a mother and a twin sister. Yes, she wasn't in good terms with any of them, but she had them there. Bessides all their differences, Ellie was her sister.

Jason?
"Hum... Who's Jason?" for some strange reason, she could only remeber Jack Thomas.

"You'll always have me around." she smiled. "You can't get rid of me, lady."

Shanners · 06-09-2009, 07:22 PM

"Yeah but I have no mum to go to for anything now." She removed the tears that hung at the edge of her eyes and the ones that had escaped and found their way to her chin.

"Jason, Potter Weasley." She raised her eybrows. "I sorta turned him down and he got the hump. Im not ready. Not now. Everyones just upped and left me." She sighed.

Flipper · 06-09-2009, 07:38 PM

"Believe me, you wouldn't like to have her as a mother..." Eva half whipsered to Tamzin's comment. Yup, it still hurt. To know that her mother hadn't been honest. That her mother still couldn't speak up the truth and tell her own daughters about their magical family. The one who was in Azkaban.

"I'm not leaving you." she assured Tammy, but she knew what her friend meant. "If he left you, when you needed him and his friendship the most... then he didn't deserve you. It's no good to cry over spilt milk." Though Tammy should probably talk to the boy and sort things out. That's what she'd do. But she didn't dare to make the suggestion. Not yet.

Shanners · 06-09-2009, 07:40 PM

"But I just dont want to talk to him. EVER." She scowled partially recovering from her crying. She smiled at her best friend in thanks knowing she couldnt put it into words.

"I miss Jack..." She whispered.

Flipper · 06-09-2009, 07:46 PM

"Right..."
She sighed.
"And I miss Sebastian." she paused. "I'm learning to get over it." she looked straigh into Tammy's eyes. "I can't just keep living in the past, remembering all the moments we spent together. I have to move on, at least as long as I'm not with him." she explained.

New sigh.
This was going to be a though year.

Shanners · 06-09-2009, 07:59 PM

"Do you mind me asking why he left?" She looked at her best friend, she knew where she was coming from but it was different. E and Sebastian had been well... together and Tammy and Jack had been real close. Not majorly different but it did have differences.

"Dont be obliged to ansdwer though."

Flipper · 06-09-2009, 08:18 PM

"I would answer... if I knew." she replied with honesty.
"He didn't tell me much about it... And to be honest, I don't know if I wanted to know. Coming from his family..." Tamzin was well-aware of Eva's thoughts about the Milans and the Glass. She stopped to remember:
"It's the second time I loose him." she sighed again. "At least the first time I had Aly." she glanced at her friend. "And you, of course. But Aly was my way of communicating with him. There was always a connection... between those two. Even when we were appart, I could talk to Seb." a new pause. "Now I can't."

"I know it's different from your situation with Jack, but still..." she couldn't finish her line of thoughts.

Shanners · 06-09-2009, 08:27 PM

"I get you." She smiled at her and put her arm around her best friend leaning her head on to her friends. "We can be loners together ey?" She laughed lightly and smiled. "We shall get eahc other through it. like we did the year of only girls."

Flipper · 06-09-2009, 08:36 PM

"Awww.... I guess so." an amusent shine appeared on Eva's eyes.
"Who says we're going to be loners, little lady?" she winked at her friend. She needed to get away from routine and have some fun. They both did. With or without the loves of their lifes.
"C'mon, let's go outside. Yeah, the rain is not cool, but we need to open our eyes and see what's out there." she picked up her notebook and her quill, all along with her sketchsbook. "And I don't mean just guys." The hufflepugg sixth year would love to spend some time dedicated to her friend and to her art.
Who knew what could happen? She was feeling inspired and creative.

Shanners · 06-09-2009, 08:46 PM

"We need to get some guys this year missy. Im not enjoying beig single." She grinned. Of course she was fine with it but she didnt really mind, but maybe having some male compnay would be good for the two of them.

Flipper · 06-09-2009, 08:52 PM

"LOL." Eva's words were followed by a fun laugh. "I'm more like the opposite. I've been compromised for way too long." the truth was that she still loved him. The girl doubted she could ever forget the special and unique Sebastian Milan.
"But have to hang out more. Meet more guys. It's good to relax and to vanish all the tension in you lately." Tammy could perfectly say 'Look who's speaking!', and she would be right.

Shanners · 06-09-2009, 08:58 PM

"Yeah, but Im not the only one am i?" She winked at her and something inside her panged for the company of Jack at that moment.

Flipper · 06-09-2009, 09:05 PM

Eva ofered a fake smile.
"Right..." she commented. "And in a moment you'll be telling me to follow my own advices. Let me give you another one. It's not worth it." she winked and stood. She was getting tired of being there, between four walls. She needed to be doing something outside.

She walked over to the winow and looked outside.
I wish you were here with me...

Shanners · 06-10-2009, 07:54 PM

"You miss him.." Tammy stated as she followed her best friend to the window. She knew how she felt so much.

**The Narrator** · 06-12-2009, 04:30 AM

The water, which had remained still, began to rise once more on the steps.

RedRabbit · 06-12-2009, 04:36 AM

*Gabben walked down to the common room and fell flat on the ground hitting his head.*
"What the-?"
*The next thing he knew he was laying in a pool of water and starting to pass out. The last thing he saw was his hand going to the back of his head.*

RachieRu · 06-12-2009, 05:46 AM

After her nice relaxing walk down by the whomping willow, Vanessa had walked back towards the common room ready to do more studying, and hoping that they hadn't been flooded in the mean time.
Smiling to herself, she entered the common room, noticing that her shoes seemed a little damp. Has the grass been wet?
"Oh...." Her eyes widened as she noticed that there was a hufflepuff lying on the floor. Why did they always attract her. Kneeling down she was about to say something when...

"My knees....are wet." She looked down confused. "Oh...MY SSHOOEES!" She cringed, grabbing the articles off of her feet, soaking her socks in the mean time. Flood. Eeek.

Leeness · 06-12-2009, 11:16 AM

Varius was walking down from the boy's dormitory after a long nap. He needed naps ya know. He needed to keep his brain at full functionality and naps helped, yepyep *nodnod*. However, as he walked through the little burrows from the dorms he was greeted with... water?

He saw his Prefect, concerned about her shoes... again. "Prefect Midgessa? Has Professor Kazimeriz decided to spring clean the kitchen level like I asked, too? You would think he would give us warning this time after he almost killed half of the Slytherins..."

He bent down and sniffed the water which was, "EUUUUUUURGHHHHHHH!! WHAT SORT OF CLEANING SOLUTION IS THAT! THAT STINKS!! It's probably all those Hufflepuff girl's farting and now it's infecting the water... or maybe Kazimeriz was serious? The dungeons were actually flooding? Maybe... it's rising? Should we not get everyone out and get a Professor?" Yes, Varius was definitely the master at 20 questions.

He ran out of the common room without waiting for a response in search for a Professor. The DADA Professor would be best for this kind of thing, yes? Especially if it WAS Hufflepuff girl's farts causing that STENCH.

RachieRu · 06-12-2009, 11:53 AM

"I'm not called Midgessa" Vanessa rolled her eyes, as she watched Varius leave the common room. Well he did have a good idea, and she reluctantly slipped her shoes back on, and glanced down at the unconcious student person on the floor. They'd be okay right? She was only going to be a few moments.
Turning around Vannie left the common room to go and find a teacher.

Leeness · 06-12-2009, 12:19 PM

Varius entered the watery doom that was his common room - rhyme for tha win! He noticed the unconcious boy Midgessa had been talking about to the Professors. He felt kind of silly for not realising he had been there before. He removed his wand with the intention to do something when he realised... he didn't really know any magic useful enough to deal with this... unless he vanished the boy?

Nah, he'd just settle with throwing a few personal artifacts in a bag and then grabbing a bucket... ya know, to scoop out the water, since clearly the Professor's were just useless at coping with this.

Mell · 06-12-2009, 12:34 PM

Marcus entered the common room, his feet splashing in the water. Okay it wasn't very deep but he had seen how quickly the water had risen in the dungeons.

"Okay attention everyone. I need you all to leave the common room right now. We seem to be experiencing the same problem as the dungeons. Just leave your stuff behind and just get out!!"

He then turned towards the kid lying unconscious on the floor and knelt down beside him, he flicked his wand at him. "Ennervate" he muttered softly.

"Mr Tipps, I want you to go up the boy's dormitory and tell anyone who is up there, to get down here now. Miss Crobette, same for you the girl's dormitory now...go!!!"

Leeness · 06-12-2009, 12:38 PM

"Yessir," Varius nodded, following the Professor's instructions as he moved towards the small burrow-like corridor that lead to the boy's dormitories.
