| | |  Ravenclaw Common Room
 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! | |

He was confused. He had thought of 24. Guess he didn't think of it clearly enough.
"I guess i will try again."
JP thought of a number again.

JP was intrigued since it had been the first time he had heard someone say those two classes were their favorite. "Wow. That's awesome. You're the first person i have heard say that. What makes you like them? Transfiguration is pretty tough but it is interesting. Well Charms and Ancient Runes are my favorite. I'd like Potions if the professor wasn't such a drag. She is so intimidating. I feel like i can't breathe without her deducting points from me."

"Wow that is amazing. how was life with the muggles? I bet completely different huh?"

"Well, I actually got accepted into a study abroad program. I traveled to six different wizarding schools and spent six weeks at each one of them...It was lots of fun and I learned alot about the different schools but I am sooooo very very happy to be back here at Hogwarts." she paused to glance around the CR. "I mean we have it so lucky here."
Kellen's turn. As he scouted for a loose piece, found it, and moved it up top, he commented, "Yeah, lucky for us our couch smells." He glanced at her before going back to the game, "What did you learn about them? From what it sounds like, I'm getting the feeling they weren't anything like Hogwarts."
But then, nowhere was really like Hogwarts, was it? That was what made the place so unique, and what made so many seventh-year students sad that they wouldn't be returning the year after. | |

I didn't even know that Hogwarts existed until I got my letter. It's a relief to know that there are others like me." Rowan didn't want to go into too much detail but wasn't sure that she could avoid questions about where she was from. "Have you ever been around muggles? It's a very different experience." she asked.

"Have you ever been around muggles? It's a very different experience." she asked. "Ah, I see." JP noticed that she hesitated to bring that up so he just went along with the subject change. Once they got to become better friends he was sure she would share. After all, there was a time a place for everything as his father always said.
"Well, you see. My cousin is kind of a muggle. My Aunt and Uncle are foul people. They had three children but the last one turned out to not have magic. They weren't to happy about that so before he got to old they gave him up for adoption to a muggle family. My parents didn't like that. And since he is around my age they thought i would be cool to let me meet him. So during summer holidays i go an visit him and his family. They are really nice people. Don't mind our kind at all. Of course it did take a bit of convincing for my cousin to believe that we were related. but after a bit of talking he believed me. He teaches me a lot about the muggle world. It's really strange."
JP took a breathe. It had always been hard to shorten the story of his cousin but once he started telling it he couldn't stop till he was done.
"Sorry, i know that was a lot" JP blushed a little.

He slowly crawled out from his position, a look between distain and worry on his face. He really didn't know what to think now. He looked between the guy who spoke to him and Ellie. "First it won't let me into the Common Room that is meant to be mine, and then when I finally get in here, it's on fire." He puffed out his cheeks, and gave a nervous glance round the room as he slowly stood up.
"There better not be any other silly tests...because, I'm already pretty sure I'm not meant to be here." His shoulders slumped. He'd been so excited about exploring the castle, and now his wasn't sure if he could leave this room for fear of not being able to get back in again. "Pfft. Scaring Killy and Kranky for no reason...and probably Matilda too..." He would check on Matilda, but knew that'd be a bad idea in front of Miss Ellie. He did feel a movement in his curls though, so that was a promising sign.
"So why don't you belong here?" he asked the older guy softly. Surely he didn't have riddle and fire issues. Not all on his first day, anyway. "Theres a book in the library thats full of riddles that have been used for the Ravenclaw door." Jim suggested quietly. "Sometimes the knocker repeats itself apparently, which makes sense because it's getting old and senile." Obviously. Old and senile. Hence the arguments he had with it on a daily basis, not because he didn't know the answers, more because he was calling the knocker out on them.
"Who are Killy and Kranky and Matilda?" Jim asked curiously.
He shrugged.
"I shoulda been a Gryffindor. No contest. Me and Legend, he's a Gryffindor, we reckon the hat is faulty. Its probably senile too." And they had plans. They DID. Brave and GRYFFINDOR-LIKE plans. Quote:

She raised an eyebrow at James. Did his mind change about Jacob at all? Though, the 'secret weapon' thing could still work. Actually, this would've only added to it's awesomeness. And, in truth, no matter how insane Jacob was off the pitch, he was a pretty amazing Beater on it.
"Are Killy and Kranky, okay?" Matilda....she didn't care about. "Amazing. I am amazed, so thats true." Heh. It was kind of funny how insistant Ellie was about being anti-captain.
"So Ellie, how many returning Quidditch Players are there?" As in, how many were likely to be on the team again, try out and all that junk.

"I'm finding things a bit overwhelming here. There is so much I have never learned. As for me, my mum was a witch and metamorphmagus, my dad was a muggle. That's all that I really know about my family. Is your family close?" Oops, there I go, she thought to herself. Rambling again.

Satine glanced at him and rolled her eyes at the couch smell, "You know I had almost grown immune to the smell of the couch until you brought it up again..." she said making a gagging sound followed by a giggle picking on him.
She tapped on a block on the bottom row in the middle and slowly edged it out on the other side and placed it on the top and then let her breath out since she'd been holding it...like breathing would make the whole thing fall. "Well Hogwarts just teaches us about a more diverse wizarding world. Many of the other schools just focused on one aspect or the other.." she paused thinking about how to explain it. " I mean like one of them only focused on the Dark Arts and then one of them was using more like a Muggle curriculum like with English and Social Studies and such...and then one only focused on being like a finishing school..." she paused..." it was just different....and not a good different." she said shaking her head back and forth.
