Entering the common room through the same corridor as the kitchens the kitchens, you will find a pile of large barrels stacked in the shadowy stone recess to your right. The second barrel from the bottom, middle of the second row, will open when tapped to the enunciation of 'Helga Hufflepuff'. (*Note: non-Hufflepuffs who tap the wrong barrel, or the incorrect number of times, will result in one of the lids bursting off and dousing the trespasser in vinegar)
Following a sloping, earthy passage inside the barrel, which will then travel upwards slightly, a cozy, round, low-ceilinged room comes into view. Welcome! Your common room is like your sanctuary. During your seven years here, your house will be like your family. The room is decorated in the cheerful house colors of yellow and black, enhanced by the use of highly polished honey-colored wood for the tables and then round doors which lead to the boys' and girls' dormitories.
Directly over the wooden mantelpiece, which is covered with carvings of decorative dancing badgers, is a portrait of Helga Hufflepuff, your house founder and one of the four Hogwarts founders, toasting her students with a tiny, two-handled golden cup. There are small, round windows level with the ground at the foot of the castle, showing a pleasant view of grass and flowers, occasionally people. As a result of the low windows, the room has a year-round sunny feel to it.

Nate didn't know what do to do or where to go. It was official Nate was bored. He has never been bored until now. He has so many friends and so much stuff that there was nothing to be bored about. He thought if only his sister was here then he would know what to do.

Amethyst giggled to herself as she walked into the common room. She was holding a small box in her hand. She was planning to give to it's receiver on the first day of Quidditch practice. Amethyst had decided that she would wait until next year to join the Quidditch team. She went and sat in front of the fire, sighing with happiness.

Minerva looked around to see how alone the really were then she got up and moved into the same chair he was. "Good thing these chairs are over sized to fit more then one person." she joked as she got cozy with her best guy friend. She felt a little uncomfortable being that close to him in fear someone might get the wrong idea, but what she wanted to talk about needed to be hushed so she shook her head and looked at him a little concerned. "Justin what went on this summer. I remember hearing something about you and Ame being able to hear his thoughts when I was on the sofa that one day. I asked, but no one seemed to hear me why was it that he didn't do that to me. If he can do it why not do it when he was tracking me?"
Justin put his arm around her so that Minnie could get comfy and rest her head on his shoulder if she wanted to. As he listened to her he felt some of the rage building again , but then he remembered that Edward couldn't touch them or hurt them at school, so he shook the feeling quickly.
" He wasn't coming after you then Min. He was coming for Ame." he said in hushed tone. " Her mother wanted him to take her . Something about her gift. I don't really know anything about all that. I've been meaning to find out though."

Just then Amethyst came into the commonroom. " Hey, there, Stranger. Where you been? " he smiled. He still had his arm around Minerva and held her there letting her know that it was alright and that she needn't move.
Oakey finally managed to stop laughing, not only was he too full of food, but now he was tired. Not wanting to get back up he laid himself back onto the table with his legs dangling off of it. He would drag himself to the Boy's dorm, but he didn't want to leave the common room just yet. He wanted to interact, to mingle, and make new friends.

Sophie looked around and saw both Oakey and Nate doing nothing. She went in their direction and looked from one to the other. "Whattup, boys? Bored, are you?" she was not tired of looking around, but she also could use some chatting. She loved it anyway.
"Yes and why is Oakey just lying there. He looks like a sleeping bear, and if I awake it I'm dead."
"Hahaha! I don't know..." Sophie said looking at Oakey. "I'm not sure if he's sleeping or just um... resting." she got a bit closer to the table where the older boy was. "Yooooo, Oakeeeeey!!"
"Let me guess you dared him to eat as much as he possibly could, so he did, and now he is like that."
"Well, I didn't, it was Alyssa." Sophie said staring at Oakey's stomach going up and down as he breathed. He did look like a sleeping bear. "I overheard them at the Feast table and saw when he went crazy and ate everything he could get his hands on!" she laughed when she remembered how he had knocked everything over.

"Ughhhhhhhhh good thing my sister taught me a spell that supposovely helps the stumach digest things. Daruka Manuka!" Nate yelled out a spell while pointing his wand at Oakey's stumach.

Oakey grinned again when she told him that she hadn't smiled like that in a long while. Don't stop then. he told her. Do you mind if I join in with you, laughing is a great way to get in shape. he started this fake laughter, that just as quickly turned into an actual cackle.
As Alyssa laughed, she heard Oakey start laughing too, which strangely turned into a cackle, which made her laugh more. "Thanks for being such a good sport, Oakey. I promise the next time I challenge you, I'll do the challenge as well."Alyssa told Oakey wiping the tears of laughter from her eyes.
SPOILER!!: Justin

"Uh! I'm not really sure I can. I promised Alec that I would show him around the school. I can take a rain check on that. I promise to train with you guys another time, okay?"Alyssa told Justin.

"Y...o....u a...l...l k....n....o....w each other but I only know S....o.....p...h...i...e and my s....i...s...t....e....r L....a...n...a but she's in R...a....v....e....n....c....l...a....w."
Alyssa quickly grabbed the younger girl in a soothing hug when she started to cry. "It's okay, Laura. You don't have to say sorry. I know that you were only being protective of Aaron. You didn't really know what happened. Please don't cry. As for making friends. I was just like you last year. It was my first time at Hogwarts and I didn't know anybody, and like you I cried. But some of the other students noticed that and they came up to me and showed me around and they are now my best friends. You will make friends too. See you already know Sophie and you'll make a whole lot more, and even if Lana is in Ravenclaw, you'll still see her in classes and all over Hogwarts." Alyssa comforted Laura. 'You won't see her in the common room. But sometimes it's good to be separated from your twin,' Alyssa thought to herself not saying her thoughts out loud, because that might alarm Laura more.
"I tell you what? I'm going to be showing Alec around the school tomorrow. Do you and Lana want to tag along? Maybe along the way we can all meet more new friends?" Alyssa suggested to Laura, hoping that would cheer the younger girl up.

As Alyssa was making her way up to the girl's dormitory, as she passed by a sleeping Oakey. The poor boy was almost falling off the table. "Uh, Oakey? Wake up. I think that it's time to drag your body up to bed before you fall off this table, or someone plays a prank on you."Alyssa placed her hand on his shoulder trying to shake him awake. "Come on. Up you go. OOOOAAAAKKKKEEEEEYYYY!!!" Alyssa resorted to yelling in his ear to wake him up.

Reason: Adding Oakey's last post in.
"Oh, I don't think I'll enjoy History of Magic so much... I'm more into practical things, like charms!! Or even transfiguration, I think. Dunno!" Sophie said, then laughed at Laura's comment abou tflying. "I guess I kind of agree with that, but it should be fun, anyway! I think..." she didn't like playing quidditch that much because they had to fly extremely fast and she wasn't sure she could do such thing. But oh well, she would have time to get used to it. Hopefully.
When Alyssa came over she looked up at her and gave her a small smile. She watched as Laura talked to Alyssa and jumped when the younger girl started crying. "Something really bad must have happened to make her cry like this in the first day of being in Hogwarts!" Sophie thought. "She should be happy and excited, not crying!" "Oh my gosh, Laura! What's wrong??" she said turning Laura over to her again with her hands on her shoulder. She liked looking people in the eye when talking seriously to them. "What happened? Are you ok?" She didn't understand Laura's words since she was worried and a bit surprised. Sophie didn't like it when anyone was sad, especially a friend of hers.
Laura looked and Sophie and sighed as she wiped away some of the tears. "Sorry Sophie, I didn't mean to get so upset I was just thinking about home and a friend of mine there that should have come back to Hogwarts this term but didn't, they deserted us for some reason."

Laura was suddenly grabbed by Alyssa and given a hug, what was Alyssa doing, she wasn't her mother and she had no right to do it and well she was still upset she had no idea what happened to Aaron but well apparently it wasn't Alyssa's fault so well she would forgive her. "Thanks for trying to cheer me up and I think your right, I have made a few friends already, but I was seriously expecting us to be together, but then that silly old man who's betending to be the sorting hat decided to split us up." Seriously hats couldn't talk not even magical ones.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

What? Oakey asked surprised. He had stuffed his face full of food and she didn't even put up a challenge. He wasn't mad just upset that she didn't hold up her end of the bet. You'd better Oakey spoke back still lying face up.

before Oakey could respond and let them now that he was fine and wide awake a first year, who Oakey hadn't even properly introduced himself to yet, pointed his wand at him and said what sounded like ton of mumbo jumbo.
His face turned to a pale white and his stomach really began to hurt. Wha...What didju just ca..Cast On....m...I-I don feel so goo. Oakey's cheeks suddenly puffed up. He frantacally began looking back and forth for something, anything to get ride of his dinner.

Sammy wasn't happy. Amy was NO WHERE. The last time Sammy had seen her midget friend was at the feast and she had been all moody and blah-I-got-locked-in-a-loo-blah. So when the blonde sixth year came out into the common room to see a bunch of people younger than her, well she couldn't help but think that there was no one better for the job of finding Amy than a bunch of mini puffs. SO she quickly made her way over to the mini puffs, then noticed one of them was crying? If this was another Adeline case she was gonna scream. Puffs were so cool. DID NO ONE UNDERSTAND THAT?! But she's was an older kid, she was gonna be helpful before she started judging. She made her way over to the small kid pretty quickly "Are you alright?" she asked, looking somewhat concerned. You knew something was up when a puff was crying. She'd deal with finding Amy later, THERE WAS A BABY PUFF CRYING!

Where did this kid learn these spells?!?!?!? All the dinner that was safely stored away in his stomach had now inched it's way up his cheeks. NOW it tasted like sugar. Oakey couldn't hold it in much longer. He let loose and Candy...CANDY! began coming out of his mouth! and it wouldn't stop! Merlin please! Oakey begged, nooo more, noooo more!

Alyssa quickly grabbed the wand out of the younger boy's hand before he did more damage. "Wait! What are you doing? Do you even know what you are doing? Where did you learn that spell?"Alyssa was totally alarmed that a first year was trying to cast a spell that didn't even sound right. "Please don't do that again unless a Prefect or older student is around." Alyssa advised the younger boy. "Oakey are you okay? Do you need the school Nurse? Maybe I should look for Treyen or Arya. They would know what to do" Alyssa looked around hoping that she would spot either one of them.
Laura looked and Sophie and sighed as she wiped away some of the tears. "Sorry Sophie, I didn't mean to get so upset I was just thinking about home and a friend of mine there that should have come back to Hogwarts this term but didn't, they deserted us for some reason."
"Don't be so upset about it, Laura. It'll all going to be ok, really!" Sophie stood there looking at her, frowning and worried. She never thought someone could be upset in a special day like this. She didn't like this at all. "Think about the great time we'll all have here! We'll make so many friends and have so much fun! You'll see!" she said, smiling again. She really believe what she was saying.

Sophie's eyes opened as wide as they could, so did her mouth. "What the heck is this??" She just stood there, watching the disturbing scene as Oakey spat... candy??

Oakey had a sudden pause in the this horrific experiece. He wanted to tell Alyssa yes, to please go and get somebody! but all he could do was give the sickest looking puppy dog face he could possibly make. He turned to face away from Alyssa so she wouldn't see him throwing up candy. It just kept coming! WAS THAT BLACK LIQUORISH!
Nate felt mad sad and embarrased. One he thought no one would be his friend again. Two he might of just ruined Oakeys whole year at hogwarts. And three he just cast a spell that might not even excist. Nate decided to head up to the room before he makes anything even worse.

Amethyst giggled, waving to Minerva and Justin. She tucked the box away, so no one would be suspicious. She sat close to them, smiling. "Hello! I was at the owlery." She nodded, blushing softly. Hopefully no one saw that.

Okay Sammy had come into the common room looking for Amy, then had seen a firstie crying AND NOW SOMEONE WAS SPEWING CANDY?! Well that's a day in the Hufflepuff common room. She also noticed everyone there was either third year or younger, GOOD LORD DID THAT MEAN SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING?! WUT. Luckily, Sammy was used to odd situations like this so she quickly pulled out her wand pointed it at a wooden chair no one was sitting on, muttered something and watched it turn into a bucket. She picked it up and handed it to the kid throwing up candy and said "There you go" he might want to eat later? "Now let's get you to the hospital wing before you start throwing up giant lollipops" she said putting her arm around the kid

Adeline looked around. The Common Room was beautiful. Though she could deal without the colors. Yellow and black were not the most beautiful colors in the world. The seemed a bit bold for her. Adeline isn't the most bold person in the world, she's more sky than bold.
At first the whole idea of being in this house was just a terrible nightmare but now it had changed slightly. Her mind and changed it's mind. But it didn't change all by itself. It was the older students that had helped her out. They really told her that her Hufflepuff qualities would show but not at first. It would take awhile.
Come to find out her friend was in this house and during the night she had him all to herself and she would be able to tell him everything and that was no lie. Adeline looked around and sat in a chair. She looked at everyone in the common room. Maybe she would at least find someone to make friends with.
Adeline smiled. She was being dumb she knew that she was going to make friends in this house. If you didn't make friends in this house or have friends in this house then there was something wrong with her.
