| | Hufflepuff Common Room Banner created by Lockhartian
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. {Note: the information above has been derived from that located on Pottermore and should be credited to that accordingly} |

I don't want to leave Ari here completely alone without me, so there's one that's ten minutes away from the train station."
He then went on explaining that him being closer would hopefully make it easier for the two of them to be there for each other, then he also would still be by Ari and everyone else, "I just... I want to do both, live my dream and be here for her. I couldn't live with knowing when I'm off studying she can't count on me to be here whenever she needs me to be." Minerva shook her head, "Grimm would never eat her.. Grimm is a sweetheart, he just doesn't like you." Minerva grinned at him jokingly. Then he went on about college, "Seriously Damon, you have an entire term to figure this out. Just enjoy your time here now with Ariana and worry about college like Christmas time next term." She didn't want him stressing over that kind of stuff already, especially when who knew what next term would bring. "Your planning to far ahead Damon, just enjoy now.." She smiled at her friend.

"Grim also looks at her with hungry eyes constantly." Damon sighed. Wait to worry about it... That was not his thing. He was always the worrywart, "I just... I don't want to lose her Min. But I can't very well leave her here without being able to call on me whenever she needs to." It worried him, nothing would change that, and putting it off would just make it worse. |

It worried him, nothing would change that, and putting it off would just make it worse. Minerva just shook her head, "Your a hopeless romantic... I think that's what my mom use to call it at least."Rolling her eyes and kicking her one leg off his knee. "Ari will be fine here with me. We will only have two terms after you graduate. AHHH" She said and shook her head frustrated, "I don't want to eve think about you leaving here yet, I have another term to be depressed over that. It's bad enough I have to think about Louisa and Vickers this term. Let's not get into next term. That one is going to be horrid." Yes it wasn't just Damon leaving her next term. She had Belle leaving as well. Plus others from different houses. This term she didn't really have anyone that she knew all that well in her own house so she wanted to leave next term for next term.

Damon sighed, "I'm trying not to talk about it, I'm still just worried." He nodded though, "So how did your final exams go?" |
