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.

Hehe. A wide grin spread across her face at the look on his. It was all too familiar. "Of course with you, who else?" There weren't many others in the common room after all. Reaching into her satchel, she pulled out a magical camera that'd been safely tucked away in one of the pockets. "I can tell you're going to need a minute. Wanna eat ice cream during that minute?"
"I dunno. Your family perhaps." Or maybe Arya's boyfriend? Teehee..It didn't cross his mind that Arya want to put her picture with him in that frame. Messer saw Arya pulled out a magical camera from her bag. Cool! He never saw a magical camera before. Well, he saw it once but not this close. Then his eyes lit up when the female prefect offering him an ice cream Who can resist that? Well, not him. "Yes, I'd love one." ICE CREAM..!!

"I have a photo album of all my loved ones and plenty of frames." Including one of her boyfriend, but she wasn't going to talk about him since Messer was all ickle and most likely wouldn't want to hear it. Maybe she'd gush about him to Treyen, just to mess with her best friend. Hehe.
Drawing her wand in a smooth motion, she vanished her melting ice cream and took a step for the portrait. "Lets go the kitchens, they have loads of it there." And then they could have fun taking pictures!

"Ah. I see." Maybe he should start his own photo album as well but then again he's not very good keeper.
Messer followed Arya to the portrait after he put his Quidditch magazine inside his bag. "Lets!" ICE CREAM here he come! He just hoped that there won't be too many house elves in the kitchen.

Ella walked into the common room and set down her bag. She looked at the front pocket, knowing the vial of potion was sitting right inside just waiting for someone to drink it. She sighed, not knowing who to give it to. I mean, most of the people she knew were in class with her so she really didn't know what to do. Looking around, she decided to try her luck with her housemates who were sitting around the common room.
Ella stood and cleared her throat, looking around the room. "Um-Hey guys...I was just wondering if-Well, does anybody have an allergy?" There. She had put herself out there and she was hoping that someone would have an allergy and then she could be all like *Bam* Here's your cure, you're welcome! She smiled, hoping someone would answer her.

Today had definitely been a hard Quidditch practice and Alyssa was just plain worn out. Even though she knew that she had to grab something to eat, she decided to sit on the sofa and rest for awhile. So she shlumped into the couch nearest to the fireplace to keep warm.
She noticed that someone had left out a plate of cookies on the table in front of her and it looked delicious, but right now she was too tired to eat.

Alec loosened his tie as he stumbled into the common room. He was hungry. And tired. And whatever else one feels when they've been dancing like a maniac for hours on end. Of course, he blamed Anya for this.
The twelve year old walked over towards the comfiest looking armchair and sat down. He should really be going up to his dorm right about now. It was late. Really late! Had Nessie's party really lasted that long?
He leaned forwards and rubbed his eyes. Just as he opened them again, his eyes landed on... cookies? They weren't chocolate chip but they were cookies nonetheless. Who would leave cookies lying around like this? Alec looked to the left. And then to the right. And then...
GOBBLE!
Mmm... Nice coo- CRUNCH! Uh oh... These weren't white chocolate chip cookies. They were PEANUT BUTTER! Namely, they had PEANUTS in them! And he was allergic to peanuts! O___O
Alec gasped as he let go of the deadly cookie. His cheeks! His poor poor CHEEKS! They were probably turning slightly red right now. And his eyes... He couldn't see much out of them. Everything was turning blurrier by the second.
"HELP!" he gasped, trying to cough the rest of the cookie out. This... was not... good.

Alyssa noticed Alec walking in. From what she had seen, he had definitely enjoyed himself at Nessie's party. Then she saw him reach for the cookie plate. She laughed. Even though he must have been eaten alot at the party, his appetite definitely hadn't been affected.
He was definitely enjoying his cookie, but then she noticed that his cheeks were starting to run red, and that he was blinking rapidly. Was he choking? Then she realized he was having an allergic reaction. Alyssa quickly dug in her jacket for the vial of Antillergy potion, removed the stopper and gave it to Alec.
"Quick drink this, Alec. I think that you're having an allergic reaction to something in the cookie."

"Quick drink this, Alec. I think that you're having an allergic reaction to something in the cookie."
Alec gasped some more as he looked around him. He needed HELP! And there didn't seem to be anyone who noticed that he was having an allergic reaction. "Helllllp!" he gasped some more. Anyone? Anyone?
But... there seemed to be someone sitting right there, looking at him. Or were they looking at something else? His eyes were too blurry to tell what this person was looking at. Really... he shouldn't have picked up the cookie and ate it like that. But who would leave cookies lying around?
And then the mysterious person spoke. And this person knew his name! Did he knew this person? It seemed so! There was no way he was popular enough to have people know him. "Thanks!" he gasped, taking the vial and taking a swig of the potion inside it.
... Something was changing inside him. Alec blinked rapidly. The wateriness seemed to subside! He could SEE! And... his cheeks weren't hurting anymore. They must be going back to their normal, pale pinkish colour. Alec grinned as he looked at the person sitting opposite him.
... Lyss? Lyss was the one who saved him? "Thanks so much, Lyss!" he said, taking a deep breath and sitting back. Those deadly cookies! "What exactly did you give me?" Whatever it was, he needed to take some of that around. Just in case Lyss wasn't around to save the day.

"I gave you an antillergen potion that we made in class. It's supposed to cure a person who is having an allergic reaction to something. I'm so glad that it worked for you. It must have been something in the cookie that you ate. You need to be really careful. Are you sure you're okay?"Alyssa asked Alec still concerned for him.

Alec blinked at Lyss. Anti-who? Something they brewed in Potions class? Maybe he should have been there for that lesson. He could have gotten a vial with some of that potion in it and then he wouldn't have had to make Lyss worried about him.
"The cookie probably had peanuts in it," he said, looking down at the others, "I'm allergic to peanuts and that's what usually happens when i eat peanuts." He was never going to forget that first time he had found out about this... Alec smiled at Lyss. She was so caring. A total Hufflepuff. "I'm fine now, Lyss, thanks to you!"

"I'm just glad that we made that potion and the Professor asked us to keep a vial of it with us. Without it, you could have ended up in the Hospital Wing. So I'm really really glad that the potion worked. You need to be careful what you eat next time, Alec." Alyssa was really relieved. 'He could have died,' Alyssa thought to herself but didn't want to scare the younger boy then he already was.
She was determined that she would ask permission to make more of the potion and store more vials for future use

Ella found a nice spot on the common room floor and dropped the posters and art supplies she'd been carrying around. Flopping down, she spread the posters out and grabbed her markers. She had been thinking about making signs for the hufflepuff quidditch team for a while and today was a good a day as any to do it. Now what to put on them? She smiled, pulling the first board towards her and writing Hufflepuffs have heart

Minerva walked into the common room. She felt beat down and exhausted. She went over to her favorite chair and fell into it tossing her bag down next to her. She couldn't believe how slow she was on the field, well she knew but it was hard for her to get over. Her shoulder was still hurting from the other day's bludger hitting her as well. She closed her eyes and tried to relax near the fire.
Nate walks into the room trying to cover up the scar he got from his fireseed bush during herbology. He just hurries on over to a seat by the fire. He takes out a book hoping it would help covering the scar up.

Ella looked up from her posters when she heard someone walk by. She noticed Minnie was looking kind of glum and wondered what was up. "Hey Minnie, everything okay?"

More footsteps and a second later Nate hurried by holding a book quite close to his face. That was curious-very curious. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, wondering what was up. "Hey Nate, how's it going"

Minerva opened her eyes and smiled. "Oh hey Ella. I'm ok, just not having an easy time at practices. I'm a bit slow on my broom." she wondered how she ever even made the team. "My shoulder hurts a bit, but I'll be ok. How are you? Whatcha making?"

Justin walked into the common room grumbling to himself. He was frustrated that he couldn't read the nocturnal correctly. He found a seat open near the fireplace and threw himself into it . He needed help from someone ....He looked around the common room and his eyes fell on the pretty little blonde girl sitting in his favourite chair. He smiled as he got up and walked over to her and Ella.
" Good evening, Ladies. " he said. " I was wondering if one of you might be able to help me with something? I'm looking for my girlfriend...Has either of you seen her? " he asked jokingly.

Ella smiled at Minnie encouragingly. "Don't worry, I bet you'll get the hang of it!" She frowned at Minnie's shoulder now, wondering if she should suggest Minnie see the healer. It didn't seem to bother her too much though so she didn't. "Sorry about your shoulder. Hopefully it'll feel better soon. Me? I'm good. Just making some posters for the quidditch match to support Hufflepuff!" She held up one of her signs, showcasing her art work with a smile.

Ella smiled at Justin when he approached. She glanced over at Minnie to see her reaction to his greeting. Yup, they were officially the cutest couple. "Hi Justin!" Ella said with a smirk and looked back down at her poster, not wanting to interrupt anything.
Minerva blushed a bit. "Hey Justin, what are you up to?" She moved over so he could sit down next to her.
Justin smiled as she slid over and he sat so as not to completely interrupt the girls. Then he smiled as Ella was talking about the upcoming match and then she mentioned something about Min's shoulder. He made a mental note to ask her about it later.

Justin was amazed when Ella showed them the posters she had been working on. " Hi, Ella. Wow, that's really good. If you need help with making anymore let me know. I gotta show some Puff love out there for my girl...and the rest of the team . " he smiled.

"Thanks!" Ella said in response to Ella's comment. She really enjoyed making things and decorating posters was proving to be quite fun.
"Oh I'm just studying defence against the dark arts." He could tell she knew something was wrong. He thought just keep on answering her questions. Maybe she would get to distracted.
