The official home of the Lions, the Gryffindor common room, is found on the seventh floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The entrance to the common room is the portrait of the delightful Fat Lady, and in order to gain entrance to their home away from home, Lions must know the password and speak it to her.
This terms password is ‘Pepper Imps’.
Be sure to remember those words...and keep it a close secret, for it's the current password you'll need to speak in order for the Fat Lady to swing away from the hole and allow you to enter Gryffindor Tower. Once you're lucky enough to scramble through, you'll find that the common room is a circular area full of squashy armchairs and tables. To the side of the common room you will find the study tables and bookshelves which are equipped with the resources and materials required to complete any homework assignments. Fixed to the wall by the windows you will find the noticeboard for classes and other school announcements.
A window looks out onto the grounds of the school, and a large fireplace takes up one side of the wall. It's the perfect place to relax and hang out after a long day of classes. If however you are in need of a nap a good night's rest then there are two doors leading off from the common room that open to spiral staircases. Boys dormitories are upstairs and to the right, while girls dormitories are upstairs and to the left. Be sure you don’t go breaking any of the rules by attempting to go up the wrong staircases. Boys don’t stand a chance of beating the enchanted staircase, and frankly girls should know better.
For whatever reason you're here, make sure you take good care of your home away from home. There's bound to be a perfect or your Head of House lurking in the shadows.
Returning students, and new students... you might notice that there is something amiss in the common room. It seems as though it has been forgotten over the holidays. The squashy armchairs are coated in a layer of dust, the ash in the fireplace hasn't been cleared, and the air is stale and smells of mold.
She followed Natasha into the common room. It was lucky that the girl had had a few knuts with her. How handy. Soon the pride would be filling in. She moved into the common room, taking its essence. And red and gold.
ERGH.
This was a common room? Well, it was fairly good, except for the brightness that was. She didn't exactly appreciate bright colours. It only deepened her throb in the head, which was bad.
She spotted a few people she'd talked at the table. The older girl...Ronnie, right? And she was cleaning? People had to do all these stuff themselves? This was the famed Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. She shook her head in disbelief. This school had lot of weird things. She waved to the girl when she caught her eye. Might as well behave good.
And then there was the pestering lecture lioness. "Hey" she called as she walked towards the seats. She badly wanted to sit down. She was having a very bad.....feeling.
She looked around for the out-of-world girl. She'd promised some tasty noodles. Amara was very hungry. Not eating wasn't really good for her since it increased the condition. Her eyes passed through the crowd, searching the girl.
There was Fro and some other guy. She waved to her. "You're already in?" she asked surprised. "I never saw you entering!" Weird. And she was about to move towards Fro...when.
AH. JUST SO BAD. BAD...MAD...!
She flopped into the nearest seat and ducked down. Her head in her hands within seconds. The pain was....moving. She wanted to SHOUT.

After Melanie set her eating utensils in the dormitories, she had gone back down the stairs to help with the cleaning. That and after she had changed into clothes that would be easier to clean in. You see, if she got her school robes dirty while cleaning, she'd have to wash that too and Melanie would have to wait till the weekend to get started on laundry. The Gryffindor walked down the stairs, tying her hair up into a high ponytail and humming a joyful tune. Humming always turned into quiet singing though. Then quiet singing just turned into singing. At least she wasn't dancing while she as made her way over.
"Merry little voices clear and strong~ Come and roll your sleeves up so that we can pitch in," Melanie sang as she looked for a broom or a vacuum or something to do the cleaning. That was when she noticed the new ickle little firstie sitting down with her head in her hands.
That was not good.
The sixth year walked right over, worried about the girl. They would have to bring her to the healer or something. But there was someone else there too. "Hey, what's going on? Amara? You alright?" Melanie asked, a worried frown on her face as she crouched down to be level with the firstie.

Troy nodded and tilted his head to the side. "I like Ninja Turtles too! But turtles in general, I'm gonna tell my big Sister to buy me one." he beamed, he always got what he wanted yes he was spoiled but he never let it get to his head. Troy was a half-blooded wizard raised as a pureblood, since his father was one the wealthiest pureblood wizards' in Greece.
The Kid witnessed the cat being put away and he smiled. Sorry but cats weren't his forte.
"Who's Amra? Amara?" Troy tilted his head to the side and looked confused. Who was that girl, Aphrodite was talking about?
"Okay, I like food. I'm really good BLT sandwiches." he had to brag.

Aphrodite tried to remember the name of the senior who now are nearby , oh! her name is Melanie and she was sooo beautiful and she seemed very kind to Amara. "Hello, my name is Aphrodite. It seems Amara had not eaten anything since we arrived. I have a few cake in my bag and maybe I can fetch it for her," she said to the friendly girl who was in front of her, "Or maybe I'll go to the kitchen to get her some food, "she added.

"Oh yeah Troy, when are you birthday?" Aphrodite asked, turning occasionally glanced at Amara. "This is Amara," she said, pointing to the girl that looks limp and lethargic, "As I noticed, she did not touch the food much earlier when welcoming feast," she continued in a tone of concern, maybe Amara missed Zyanya.. "By the way, you can make us a BLT Sandwich. looks like I'm also hungry," she said politely toward the boy.

Melanie gave the younger girl a warm, friendly smile. Oh, weren't the first years all cute. And they all had such beautiful names too. Melanie liked that. "It's nice to meet you, Aphrodite. I'm Melanie, Melanie Sung. I'm a sixth year, so if you have any quesitons, don't hesitate to ask." Because Melanie like little ickle firsties. They were cute. Plus, it wasn't easy adjusting to a new place, Melanie knew that. Then the blonde told Melanie that Amara didn't eat anything. "She hasn't?" Melanie said, her smile fading. That wasn't good. Then again, the food back at the Great Hall hadn't been exactly appetizing. Melanie hadn't eaten herself. "No, she needs to eat some proper food other than cake... uhm..."
Little wheels spun in Melanie's head as she tried to think. "If you go to the kitchen, you'll have to pay another knut to get back in," Melanie reminded the first year before she remembered. It was like studying for all those OWLs last term had paid off because her brain seemed to function better. Or maybe it was just a result of entering her sixth year. When a person got older, they were supposed to be smarter and all that jazz. "I have... some ramen in my trunk. We can... enlarge a cup, boil some water then make some noodles quickly," Melanie decided.
Because that would work too, wouldn't it? It'd be fast too... maybe... five minutes tops. Though she wasn't sure if a plastic cup was meant to hold hot drinks. She hoped it'd be fine though...

Honestly, Aphrodite has not thought about that. Luckily she had borrowed some of Laura's knut, otherwise she can not return to their own common room. Melanie suggestion is indeed one of the best .. Amara have to eat foods that are filling otherwise she could not follow the lessons tomorrow. "Melanie, will you teach me spell needed to warm the water to cook it?" Aphrodite asked her.
"Oh yeah Troy, when are you birthday?" Aphrodite asked, turning occasionally glanced at Amara. "This is Amara," she said, pointing to the girl that looks limp and lethargic, "As I noticed, she did not touch the food much earlier when welcoming feast," she continued in a tone of concern, maybe Amara missed Zyanya..

"April 31st." Troy replied regarding his birthday.
Troy still had no clue who Amara was? Seeing someone from distance was one of the easiest ways for him to forget who's, who. "Oh okay." he nodded. The Kid wasn't concerned for the stranger.
"Then you have to make me some dessert." Troy didn't do anything for free, he always wanted something in return. Hawthorne's don't share, a very familiar trait among his family.

April 31st? Okay, Aphrodite will remember. Troy ask Aphrodite to made desert instead he made her a sandwich, "Okay, I'll make it for you, do you like Caramel Pudding?" Aphrodite said with a little laugh. Fortunately, she always helped Mother make desert at home.

Troy nodded "Yeah I like pudding!" he was having a sweet tooth, to begin with so maybe Aphrodite's pudding will hit the spot.
"I like sweets! My favorite are sugar quills." Troy was beaming from ear to ear, every time a conversation led to speaking about sweets.

Typical. Typical little Wizard.
Sugar Quill.. Troy really Theo look a like, it looks like they will fit each other.
"For me, I like Honeydukes Dark Chocolate and Chocolate Frog, and any other chocolate.. by the way about the Sugar Quill, I have it here," she said as he reached into her satchel and pulled out a light blue Sugar Quill,
"This is for you," she said again as she put it in Troy's right hand. "My brother is very fond of Sugar Quill so he had a box full of sweets containing these," she added with a smile,
"so we went to the kitchen?" she asked, clutching her satchel.

"Chocolate frogs are good too! My Papa loved 'em and would always bring me some, after he came home for the weekends." Troy smiled.
Troy's eye widened.
"oooooh thank you!" He took the sugar quill in his hands and beamed at it. He was extremely fond of this sugary candy.
Once he had finally gotten into the common room, Michael could see that some of his fellow housemates were cleaning and he let out another sigh. Wasn't it enough that they had to pay to get in here? Now they had to clean also? Well he wasn't going to.
Touissaint's did not clean other people's mess.
Yes he was going to pull the spoiled brat routine.
He made his way deeper into the room and threw himself into one of the comfy couches and slouched down making himself comfortable. "Anyone got a chocolate frog they could spare? He had money.

Fro was the first one to reach her side.
Alright? GRUNT.
She was followed a few minutes later by..Amara had to squint to recognize the girl. Melanie.
What are they talking about?
Cakes...kitchen....ramen...noodles...fire.... She caught some lost words from the conversation. It took her a while to realise that the whole thing was about her.
"Uhm?" She stared at the two. They were going to get some food? "Noodles?" She definitely did want to eat something...but..
"Could--Could--" Cough. "-could you please get me some chilled water first?" she managed to say that without, ahem-- Cough.

Chocolate frog? Someone say chocolate frog?
Troy raised his hand directing his attention to the boy who wanted a chocolate frog "I got some!" he reached inside his red fanny pack and pulled out several chocolate frogs.
He walked over to the boy "Here." he handed one over to his fellow Gryffindor.

Ahh that was music to his ears. Michael sat up straight in his seat when his fellow houemate handed over one of his chocolate frogs. He took it from the boy with grateful smile. "You're a lifesaver. Thanks for that mate." He tore off the wrapper and almost shoved the whole things into his mouth.
After he had swallowed the chunk of chocolate, he looked up at the boy again. "My name is Michael." He held his hand out to the other boy.
You have bewitched me body and soul, And I love- I love- I love you
Mack only had 45 minutes to find 4 potion ingredients. She quickly ran through a list of common ingredients in her head, the easiest to get on grounds would be cat hair, and she knew there would be one in the common room, holding an empty vial she slowly approached a brown colored cat that was sunning itself in front of the window, she reached and began petting the animal and it purred, as she drew back her hand she had at least 25 to 30 hairs on her hand, she carefully inserted them into the vial and placed the stopper on it, placing the now full vial in her pocket she quickly went to find the other three ingredients needed.

Penelope wasn't going to ask why Alice knew how dirty it was below her four-poster, right? Because it wasn't like she kept boxes of important things under there and checked them every so often for reasons. Obviously. She obviously did not do that.
When her hose stopped working again, she tapped it with her wand once more. "Vacavus." The portrait looked clean enough, so she followed Penelope to the walls and started doing the edge of another one, attempting to go slowly and get all the junk (the hair, the dirt, the dust, the insects, etc.) before her vacuum stopped working again. Which it did pretty quickly. How often did she need to cast that spell, honestly?
"Done now?" Alice tried picking up the vacuum again, straining her non-existent muscles non-existentially until she couldn't anymore, giving up and levitating the thing again. "Pepper Imps," she told the Fat Lady, waiting for the portrait to swing open again and making her way into the common room.
Alice knew how dirty the place under her bed was? Penelope didn't question this though. Maybe they were all pretty obviously dirty under the beds. Penelope tried to avoid the dorms as much as she could anyway, so she didn't pay much attention to whether there was dirt and dust under the beds. So she'd just nodded at that and let the topic drop.
And now that they were both done and Alice had given the password, she levitated her vacuum through the portrait hole first then clambered through after it. She gave the turnstiles a knut and then went through with her vacuum levitating again before setting it on the ground near a group of armchairs. Merlin, there was a lot of dust around these things.
"Let's just clean up some of the common room and move on to the dorms." It would take forever to clean the whole common room AND the dorms. And Penelope didn't want to waste ALL day doing this.
"Vacavus." Another tap on the hose, and she was sucking up more dust and hair and whatever else might hang out on and around the armchairs...even under them.
Merlin's beard, was that a chewed-gum-filled Drooble's Best Blowing Gum wrapper under this one?! Gross. She did not even want to know how that got there.

Knut. Right.
That whole paying thing was still incredibly stupid, but Alice coughed up an extra coin from Oakey and slipped through them, levitating her vacuum in before herself and setting it next to Penelope. After nodding at Shark Bait's proposition, she began vacuuming the armchairs as well, and near the large window, seeing as she spent so much time looking out of it and at things. "Vacavus."
Following a while of sucking, she was just turning back to Penelope and getting ready to suggest the go upstairs. "Do you want to go into the do- oomf." Alice kind of sort of tripped over the hose, face planting into the ground, hand still wrapped around the nozzle and pointing it under the arm chair. And it was one no one had cleaned under yet, so she was going to leave it there, too, until she heard hisses coming from under it.
"Is.. is that..?" Oh! Oh, it was a cat, and a familiar one, too. Why wasn't it getting out from under there so she could vacuum, though? Alice could see Spot, Penelope's little feline, pawing at the rug on the other side of the armchair, but it didn't seem to be going anywhere, and it took her a moment to realize that its tail was kind of stuff in her hose. "Finite!" She practically beat the hose with her wand, stopping it as quickly as she could and tugging the nozzle off of her.
And revealing a hairless cat tail.
Whoops.

Ugh, Merlin, chewed gum in its wrapper, really? Why didn't people throw this stuff away? Who knew how long it had been under there? Even the vacuum seemed to protest against it when it sucked it up, judging by the slight clunk/crinkling she could sorta hear coming from it.
And that was when it abruptly stopped.
Erm. Was it just the spell that wore off or did it hate the gum that much?
Penelope turned the nozzle toward her face, peering down into it with one eye open and the other closed. Hmm. It didn't look like anything was stuck in there, so it couldn't be the gum right? Just her spell wearing off.
Tap. "Vacavus." Oh wait- SWEET MERLIN WITH A TRICYCLE HER HAIR WAS BEING SUCKED IN WHAT IN MERLIN'S-
"FINITE."
Phew. There. All better.
Except for the screeching hisses coming from the armchair Alice was vacuuming under-
SPOT?!?!?!?!
"What in Merlin's name happened?!" she demanded with wide eyes, glancing back and forth between her cat and Alice.

"What in Merlin's name happened?!" she demanded with wide eyes, glancing back and forth between her cat and Alice.
"FINITE. FINITE. FINITE." Alice continued banging her wand frantically against the hose that had already stopped sucking stuff, being loud just for good measure. Because, like, loudness and noise and wand banging made the prospect of making Penelope's cat's tail's hair disappear for a while better or something.
Um. Oh. Had she noticed that tail? Heh.
"I, um, tripped, and my nozzle kind of.. um.. got caught on Spot's tail and I stopped it, but only after it kind of.. uh.. sucked all the hair off of it." Funny story, right? She offered Penelope a sheepish look and then glanced back to the cat, turning to her vacuum next. "I mean.. if you wanted, we could.. like.. open the vacuum and get his hair out and, like, stick it back on his tail or something." Could they do that?
Alice blinked her wide eyes at the naked cat tail again before casually casting the sucking charm again and cleaning up a couple of stray hairs that had fallen out of her nozzle near the cat.
Ahem.
Well, they WERE still cleaning.

Alice blinked her wide eyes at the naked cat tail again before casually casting the sucking charm again and cleaning up a couple of stray hairs that had fallen out of her nozzle near the cat.
Ahem.
Well, they WERE still cleaning.
Merlin's...beard....
Penelope instinctively reached for Spot, but the little cat hissed again and scampered away, looking extremely offended and angry. The Gryffindor frowned, but after years spent with her cat, she knew it was best to let Spot be by herself when she was in a bad mood. It was only time she was likely scratch and/or bite even Penelope, and she didn't like the idea of getting attack right now. So she turned her attention to the other girl, eyeing her.
The tail incident wasn't on purpose at the least. Not that she thought Alice would intentionally attack her cat with a vacuum - the captain was her friend and not that sort of person - but it was good to have it confirmed to be an accident. And Alice was trying to help now.
"Her," she corrected. She felt like she had to do that a lot, correct people about Spot's gender. Maybe it was partly her fault for giving her a name like Spot which wasn't really very feminine...but she was only about six or seven years old when she'd named her. "I dunno if that'd help though. How would we even stick it on? Glue?" Spot probably wouldn't appreciate that either. It'd probably be better to just...leave her as she was and eventually it would grow back...right?
In the mean time... "Vacavus." She started vacuuming the dust and random hair on the armchairs, having decided going under the chairs and anything else wasn't a good idea anymore.

Merlin's tail was more like it. Did Merlin have a tail? Or was that sucked into a vac, too?
Too soon?
"Her. Right." Alice cringed away from the hissing cat and shook her head at Penelope, focusing on her attention on her Seeker instead. "Um, Permanent Sticking Charm, maybe? That'd be better than a normal Sticking Charm, if anything." Or they could wait for her hair to grow back on and not fret about it, but honestly, Spot looked rather creepy running about with a naked tail. In her opinion.
Ahem. Anyways, aside from hairless tails, they still had cleaning to do. "Vacavus." Alice tapped the now hair-free nozzle with her wand, cleaning up the strays it had dropped when she had cast Finite and had it tugged off of Spot. The hose was maneuvered around under only that armchair, since she thought it better not to try going for the bottoms of any other seats.
"Are we done?" The common room looked somewhat cleaner, but she wasn't doing the dorms, now, too, especially if the cat had scampered up there. It would be pretty bad if Alice sucked up his tail and his ears in the same day. "Want to go eat instead of doing the dorms? I'm famished." And with that, she stopped her vacuum again and left it sitting in the middle of the common room while she went in search of something edible.

The cauldron was boiling just at the foot of the comfy couch she was lounging in. She decided to do a reading before she headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast; convenience reasons mostly. There was no way she was lugging all this downstairs with her and she was even less likely to walk all the way back up here afterwards, especially with knowing she'd have to pay again.
Lex glanced down at the water that was now simmering and bit into her chocolate frog again. Yeah. That was good enough. Lex got off the couch to to get her cup 3/4 filled and of course the adding of the tea leaves. She let it brew while she did that whole meditation thing (No talking, nope).
Once the tea was cool enough she began sipping at it, clearing her mind the entire time.
She stopped with the last bit left in there and gave it three swirls. Hopefully these would turn out better than the last or they could all forget about her doing a third reading. The Gryffindor could only take so much bad news!
Lex upturned the cup, marked the spot of the handle so she'd know where to start the reason then got to it. This time she was looking CLOSELY just in case the image could be interpreted in different ways in which case she'd pick the ones she liked best. Or...was that not how this worked...?
Um...Tomato...and anchor and....a bush maybe...?
Lex grabbed for her textbook after scribbling them down for her journal entry.
SPOILER!!: Parchment
Rim- Tomato
Middle- Anchor
Base- Bush
Hellooooooo, what's this? What did tomato mean??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No.
She turned the parchment at another angle and took another look. Now that she thought about it, it looked a lot like...uhhh, she skipped through the book. Cake. She liked cake so this looked like cake. There you have it. The first one was now cake. Nodnodnod. Time to journal it.

Ronnie had left the Quidditch game early to gather all the cookies and cupcakes she had made the night before in the kitchen, and to blow up all the balloons and hang up streamers she had her dad buy for her and owl her a few days ago. She had already planned on having a Quidditch party for the Gryffindor house...she was pretty confident they'd win.
As she entered the common room, she set the several plates of cupcakes and cookies along the table. She then began blowing up the yellow and red balloons and let them float up along the ceiling, and quickly hung the red and yellow streamers as well.
Next, she quickly ran up to the girl's dorm and fetched her little radio and ran back down, setting it upon the mantle of the fire place. She turned it on and cranked up some music. Now for the rest of the house to arrive and see the surprise party she had made! She was so excited!
You have bewitched me body and soul, And I love- I love- I love you
Mack entered the common room, GASP"OH MY GOSH, Ronnie!!" She couldn't help her outburst this was amazing!! To end the day after their win against Hufflepuff with a party. AMAZING! The blonde ran over to her friend and hugged her tightly.
"We're you at the game?! It was amazing!!" the girl beamed, now her pregame jitters really seemed silly. The game had went really well. She picked up a cupcake and took a bite "Did you make these? They're really good." Mack was so excited, life was looking a tad bit better, she still hadn't told many people about her parents, and she was doing well to hide her tears for the darkness of night or her walks around the grounds.
