| | |  Gryffindor Common Room
graphics by sweetpinkpixie 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.

They won! They actually WON!!! This was Lex's first win but also, it was her first time scoring during an actual match. This had the lion bouncing up every step that led back to the Common Room. There was word going around that there'd be a party and she didn't want to miss THAT!!!
After reluctantly paying her knut, she hurried pass the turnstiles and into the Common Room.
"Woooooooooooooooooow!!!"
Lex spun a few times, taking in everything and all the yummy pastries that were there as well. "This looks really good!" Mack had said something to Ronnie. OH! She she's the one that fixed this all up. Alexa grinned over at the girl. "Nice work! This place looks fantastic!!" She picked up a cupcake and sunk her teeth into it. "And this stuff tastes amazing!"
Oh, before she forgot!
"Nice game Mack! You played brilliantly!!" BEAM.

Sarah was all hyper like bouncy as she skipped into the common room. THEY HAD WON! HER team had one (well, she practiced... it was not her fault that winter weather did not agree with her (now she was actually going to put on the extra layers her father had told her to. She did not want to miss another match). "WELL DONE GUYZ! she chirped. THen she saw Alexa, her girl and ran up to her and gave her such a tight hug she was happily surprised that Alexa was still breathing after her. "way to go girl!" she said.
"Thanks Ronnie!" she said. "can I eat even if I did not play?" she asked. OOh Mack was there too. "Well done Beater! You did well". Like brilliantly, cue another hug, yet she did not hug this little girl as tightly as she did to Alexa.
ooh music and food... nto complaints, she was staying. "LETS PARTAY GUY!" she said. Yes, admittingly she had not taken her medicine this morning. But now she wanted to dance!

Ronnie smiled as more lions entered the common room and her smile broke into a grin at Mack's reaction. "I was at the game! And you did brilliant, just like I knew you would!" she said, giving her friend a hug. Nodding, she sat on the edge of the arm of a chair. "I did make them!" And she was glad she did. It was nice to see her fellow lions enjoying her treats.
She gave a nod to Alexa as she walked in. "Thanks, Alexa! You did awesome today!" she said. She smiled again as she said the cupcake was amazing. After getting herself one, she watched as Sarah entered. She waved excitedly at the girl. "Hiya, Sarah! Of course you can, eat all you want! Just make sure there's enough for everyone," she said before taking a bite of her cupcake.

FLOP Mack threw herself into the closest armchair she could find, looking around the common room was fairly empty, for that she was greatful. Pulling out her wand she mumbled the incantation [b]"Incendio"[b] and a fire roared to life in the fireplace. She welcomed the warmth as it blanketed over her.
She was having a hard time today with knowing she was alone, her grandparents hadn't sent anything since the quidditch match, which they did not attend even though they had promised that they would. She was beginning to worry about them and decided that she would sent an owl in a few days and hopefully would get a response. The blonde decided that it was the cold weather making her feel the way she was.
She curled up in the chair and let the heat of the fire cover her.

Since she had decided to venture to the seventh floor tower to post a notice of the upcoming Quidditch match on the Gryffindor's notice board, James decided to feed two birds with one scone.
Or something like that.
Since she had grown up in the Hufflepuff common room, James figured she would never get over just how cozy the Gryffindor common room was. Of course, the state of it wasn't as nice as it had been the previous term, but the students seemed to be doing an okay job of cleaning things up despite the lack of house elf help. They had nice sofas, an enchanting fireplace, and windows that gave the students a simply stunning view of the grounds. She was quite envious. The students certainly deserved a nice safe haven, though, considering the long voyage they had to make to get all the way up there. Whew.
After she took her usual moment or two to take in the absolute beauty of the massive common room, Erin gave a warm smile to students who met her eye before promptly moseying over to the nearest armchair and purposefully shoving both arms down the sides and under the cushions. There had to be SOMETHING here, right? Gryffindors were messy.

Alexa was sprawled out on her favourite chair in the Common Room, kneazle curled up on her stomach. Just upstairs in her dorm was a pile of homework she was pacing herself with. Later. Much later. For now she was content with lazily waving her wand around and mumbling spells. Every now and then she would try to remember a hex from the book then quiz herself on it. Best keep her mind sharp. You never know when she'd need one of those.
Her gaze shifted to the portrait hole. Someone was entering. Someone with ice-cream to share maybe????
Oh. Just the Professor. The ice-cream-less Professor. But she was giving warm smiles so it was cool! Lex grinned over at her. "Hello Professor, what brings you here?"
Oh....okay...no need to answer...she could kinda get an idea from just watching. "Er...Professor...what are you looking for?" She asked, getting up from her spot and walking over to her with a curious look. "Is there buried treasured down there? If yes then you'll have to split it with everyone in here because this is our Common Room and we're already being required to pay to enter. You can have the biggest cut though for finding it!!" BEAM.

Oh, good! One of her darling Quidditch players - and, in fact, the commentator for the upcoming match! "Nice to see you, as always, Miss Cambridge - just posting a notice about the Ravenclaw-Hufflepuff match on Saturday. Thank you for agreeing to commentate, by the way, I'm sure you'll do a marvelous job!" Though she wasn't entirely sure how positive the chemistry was between Miss Cambridge and Miss Logan...
"Turnstile change," Erin replied brightly, plucking a single knut from the depths of the deep left corner of the armchair, setting it on the cushion, and plunging her hand back into the chair's depths. "I'm sure there is. I'm actually... hold on..." One of her eye squeezed shut and she stretched exceptionally far, the utmost expression of concentration on her face, before she plucked out another knut. "There. I was actually collecting for you guys, in a way, yes - I keep a bowl on my desk full of knuts for visitors to take on their way back to their common rooms for 'free' entry - just a little incentive for stopping by." She turned to give Alexa a remorseful smile - one that said, I don't like to see you guys paying any more than you do.
"Unfortunately, it's running a bit low, so I figured I'd pop by the common rooms as I post the notices and help recycle a bit." In other words, she hoped to help ease the stress of her Quidditch kids a bit.
Heh.
"Your way is convincing, though. How about we split the treasure in half? Gryffindors get half of whatever we find, the other half will go to the bowl in my office for the use of those who stop by." Privileged Quidditch players.

Privileged Quidditch players. The Professor said it was nice seeing her. She BEAMED up at her. "It's very nice seeing you too Professor!" It wasn't often that she ran into the Quidditch Professor...not unless they were on the pitch for a match but she liked the woman enough. She made her feel so confident about her flying. "Oh, it's no problem. I like talking, I like it even better when everyone else can hear me." and more BEAMing.
Blink. "Turnstile change?" She paused to think that over as the woman went on digging. How curious. Change? WAIT. "You hand out change to everyone that visits you? I mean, not that I'd only visit for the change because I have change but coooool!!! It's very nice of you. Not everyone's handling this paying thing well."
And it puzzled her that she'd never stopped by her office before. She should fix that, yeah?
Oh and they were talking about her earlier proposition? "Eh, it's fine, you're doing this for a good cause. You can keep it all. It's really the dumb luck of whoever lost it in the first place. Would you like me to help you look? I'm not very busy at the moment." Rather bored, actually.
If they didn't find enough she would donate a galleon or two. She still had plenty from the egg sale earlier in the term.

If they didn't find enough she would donate a galleon or two. She still had plenty from the egg sale earlier in the term. Though James usually had a soft spot for Hufflepuffs, this particular Gryffindor was growing on her very quickly in the span of one minute. What a cheery, kindhearted young student. "That's very good," she laughed. "You'll be doing a lot of it, and they'll certainly be able to hear you. The whole school, in fact. You'll have to let me know how you enjoy it after the match - maybe we can fit you in for another match this term if you decide that it's your cup of tea." And if she behaved.
James stopped digging for a moment to give Lex a curious, slightly confused expression. Of course she handed out change to those who visited her - didn't the other staff members do that, too? "I do," Erin smiled. "I figure if someone's going to make the trip to see me, might as well make it worth their while and pay for their trip back to their own dormitory, right?" She shrugged, picking up the two knuts from the cushion and setting them on the nearby table. They could start a pile there.
"I know they're not - understandably, I suppose." Erin's tone was solemn, still regretful. "We'll get through it, though. If we band together as a school and press forward, we can handle anything!" She accented her statement with a shrug of worry-free simplicity. The school would be all right. Of course it would.
Her face lit up with delight at Lex's proposition. "Would you? That would be wonderful!" This one deserved a ride on one of her special brooms in storage. What a good-natured soul. James rose to her feet, stretched, and surveyed the room. "Hmm. Let's tackle the couch. Be leery, though - I doubt you guys have cleaned down in here any time recently, have you?" James questioned warily, kneeling next to the couch. No house elves to clean the corners meant there were likely to be surprises all over, she figured. Though... maybe that meant lots of treasure!

Lots of talking and the whole school would hear her?? "Oh boy! I can't wait!" GRIIIIN. It's not like it had ever been a dream of her's to do public speaking but it had always been a curious thing for her. Sure she did public speaking at her old school but that was usually unorganized and followed shortly after by a riot. This would be different; new. She liked new things. "I bet I'll like it, you don't have to worry about that much!" Mics were like her soul-mate...next to chocolate frogs and ice-cream. "That's seems really legit Professor!" Why not pay them for their troubles. They might have been some traumatized kid, with only a day left before their match and in serious need of talking to her. So serious that they forgot their money bag! They'd never get back inside! "And do they take anything for you when they visit? I can stop by with a sundae if you tell me what flavours you like." It wouldn't have been a problem. Iiiiice-creeeam.
Alexa played with the two knuts Professor James had placed on the small table, a small smile forming. "I like the way you think. It tells me we won't be stuck paying for rubbish food forever." So there she went inspiring hope.
She beamed at her excitement for her volunteering. "Right! The couch!--er...I don't remember seeing it get cleaned but Melanie likes this whole cleaning thing so...maybe?" She stuck her hand under a cushion and began feeling around. "Nothing over here."

The three dementors from the Tower Patch swooped in through one of the open windows. The did NOT pay the required fee to enter the common room and anyone who dared tell them they needed too would find their soul sucked out before they could say galleon. Oh how they wished someone would. They were very VERY hungry.
The fire in the fireplace went out, portraits froze over, and the temperature in the common room dropped as the three made their way around the common room. They knew not to linger here too long. They had to meet up with the rest of the flock and proceed with their mission.

Lex had been up in her Common Room trying to get the last of her Divination homework done when she suddenly heard a loud screeching. Not just any loud screeching because that would have been ignored, this was her kneazle's screeching and it drew Lex quickly to the stairs leading down into the Common Room.
Her eyes darted around the room as she bolted down the stairs but she stopped with a few steps to spare, her breath suddenly caught in here throat.
Dementors...
She...she'd never seen them so close. Instinctively she hugged herself, feeling the major difference in the temperature of the Common Room. She should have run back to her dorm and shut the door but Felix! He was crouched down by the now extinguished fireplace, hissing and pawing at the figures drifting around. "Felix...Felix lovely...come here..." She whispered, forgetting that whispering did not make one any less noticeable.
The kneazle bolted up the stairs and lept into her arms without even being invited to. She slowly began going back up the stairs, hoping not to draw too much more attention to herself...

Alice wanted ice cream. Go figure. She always wanted ice cream these days.
Happily jumping down the dormitory steps three at a time, she made her way into the common room, spotting Lex first. Lex! She was big on ice cream, too, right? "Do you want to go grab some ice crea-" .. why was the fire out? And.. the portraits frozen over.. and it was really cold..
What was this, the THIRD time?
"Get out of here," she hissed, grabbing onto Lex's arm and dragging her back to the stairs before the dementors could suck her chaser's face off. "We're going upstairs and not coming down until our souls are safe from those things, okay?" Mostly because Alice couldn't cast a patronus and this wasn't a good idea any time, seeing how those things had affected her at Fright Fest. She proceeded to drag Lex upstairs again, still taking three steps at a time. Too bad ice cream had to wait.

ALICE!!!
She was saaaaved!!! Lex felt her heart jump when her Captain grabbed on to her and began pulling her back to the dorm but you didn't have to tell her twice!! Today was NOT a day to get your soul sucked out! That Divination homework was almost done so she HAD to live so she could hand it in, otherwise it'd be a waste and would bug her souless body for the rest of what would be a hollow life...or not--IT DIDN'T MATTER!!
Dementors = Lex bolting up the stairs, possibly pulling Alice with her now. Felix was still hissing but she didn't see how that would help, other than it drawing attention to them!!!
"Shhhhh!"
How many stairs did this thing have???? Oh the door! Lex yanked it opened and rushed inside. Whose bright idea was it to let them into the Common Room??? When she said she wanted creatures in here to add to the decor she DIDN'T mean the kind that sucked your soul then left!!! "Cast a spell or something and lock the door good just in case these don't work!" Just. In. Case. Famous last words.

"Cast a spell or something and lock the door good just in case these don't work!" Just. In. Case. Famous last words. And.. now she was being dragged?
Whatever, as long as it got her away from the soul suckers. "Make your cat shut up." .. or you know what? "Silencio." There, silent cat, all fixed. "Um... lock the do.. those are dementors." Could they even get through doors? They had hands, right? Magic? They couldn't use Alohomoras, why was she worrying? "Colloportus. There. Locked." It probably wouldn't do much, but she cast it anyway, to subdue the third year.
She was welcome.

Harland stepped into the common room, one eyebrow raised as he looked around. He hadn't expected it to look like this, that was for sure. He'd been told that Hogwarts was, at the very least, clean. This place looked as if it hadn't been washed for years. Wait, those were chairs?
Was he supposed to sit on them?
Wrinkling his nose up, he took a further look around before he saw the Gryffindor banner. No such luck of this being a mistake, then. Well, he would have to make the most of this! It wasn't as if the rest of the school was like this, maybe the Gryffindors had done something stupid, resulting in... This?
But then, suddenly, the air went cold and he shuddered, eyes wide. Well, he may have been homeschooled, but he was pretty sure this wasn't natural. He couldn't produce a Patronus, so he was kind of doomed, unless he found someone who knew what they were doing.
And two people who might have had a clue had just disappeared. How was he going to get around this?
Well, maybe if he just went up to his own dorm, that would help. That was the obvious option, so that was exactly what he did. As quietly as he could, he edged his way to the staircase, before bolting.
There was no way he was staying in the room with Dementors. He wasn't stupid.

Penelope needed to grab something from her dorm, so she entered through the portrait hole and slipped a knut into the turnstiles before entering and...noticing how cold it was. It wasn't usually this cold in the common r-
Oh. Merlin. Not. Again.
Dementors. How did they get in?!
Trying her hardest to ignore the cold and the unhappy feelings and memories resurfacing, she caught sight of an older boy running for the dorms, but she wasn't sure she could make it - and was it even smart to go there, anyway? There wasn't a way out beyond it. They'd be stuck. But if they could keep that locked, hopefully they'd be okay.
She, however, turned to run back for the portrait hole to get out.

After a somewhat depressing time in the Great Hall, Ronnie trudged up to the seventh floor. After muttering the password, she slipped inside to find the fireplace was out and it was awfully cold inside...and dark. Ronnie didn't like the dark. It was one of her worst fears. She began to shiver. *gulp* Blinking, she glanced around the common room and stared at the frightened faces of a few fellow lions. What was going on here? She continued to look around the common room...
Then she saw them.
Dementors. In the common room! She froze, staring at them, not quite sure what she was seeing before her was real. The red head then turned to look at the others, a shocked look upon her face, unsure of what to do. Was it time to cast a patronus? She was pretty good at that. Swallowing hard, she gave them a look as if asking what to do. Maybe they should go get a professor? Or protect themselves and cast a patronus?! She sighed and seeing that she was the oldest here, maybe she should stand up and be the leader and help out. "Guys," she whispered to them. "I think this would be a good time to cast a patronus...I believe it's the only thing we have to do right now." she slowly made her way over to them and stood with them, her wand already in her hand.

Finally, Harland unlocked the door and poked his head out cautiously. Come on, he had told Harrison that he was a man, and he was a Gryffindor! Reckless to the point of stupidity! What did it matter if he couldn't produce a Patronus? Those would most likely be his famous last words, he realised as he stepped out, hand moving to his pocket. He felt a bit... Exposed, standing at the top of the stairs, but that was fine. He was sure that he could do anything if he put his mind to it.
... Maybe even a Patronus?
He needed a happy memory, he knew that. But... He didn't think any of his would be powerful enough. He didn't have really happy memories, he just had... Harland memories, which were unique in what some would say a 'bad way'. Like impersonating a duck in order to get bread off of a random stranger.
He then noticed another girl who was preparing to fight and looked at her. He really didn't like this. He felt cold, he felt sad, he felt... Not Harland-like. Sure, he had no absolutely terrible memories like a lot of people, but there were parts of his life that he was not proud of, parts of his life that he would prefer to just... Forget about. Dementors apparently didn't like that, though. They just wanted his Harland happiness, something which he had an abundance of. He couldn't even stand to crack a smile as he mouthed something to the girl.
"No Patronus!" He pointed to himself, hoping that if he kept it simple, she'd understand and help him out. She would be more experienced with Hogwarts life than he, anyway.

Melanie wandered down from the dormitories, not exactly feeling the greatest. As a matter of fact, she felt very much bummed out. And she wasn't quite sure why. Maybe it was the feng shui of the dormitories or something that was throwing her off. It didn't really matter much though. "Hey hi---" Melanie called out as she reached the common room and she stopped her greeting before she got to finish saying 'hello'. The Gryffindor was not expecting whatever it was she saw.
Because Melanie was about to scream, quickly covering her mouth with her hand and hoping nothing had heard her.
There were dementors.
In the common room.
It was going to kill them all. From inside of her a sad feeling started to bubble up and she tried to press it down. Was she shaking? Melanie felt like she was shaking. She felt like it was winter time again though it wasn't. It wasn't a pleasant feeling as memories that she had buried in the back of her mind started to resurface. She wondered if the dementors saw her. She wondered if she could just slip away back into the dormitories even if the feng shui felt off in there. She knew that even if she tried though, she wouldn't be able to. Not because the dementors were going to attack her (she didn't know if they would), but because her legs felt like they were superglued to the common room floor.

So many tasty young souls. The dementors could sense their presence and ceased all movement toward the exit and instead turned and descended upon the crowd.
Rattle rattle rattle rattle.
One dementor fell upon the Gryffindor frozen in place (iBeJenn) and reach both of its scabby hands out on either side of her face. Oh yes, this one was delicious. Very sweet this soul...
The other two moved in zig zag formation, one breaking off and gliding with haste towards the door and blocked the path of one student (AlwaysSnapesGirl) while the other flew towards two more savory souls (DaniDiNardo & lemon).
Perhaps they could linger here for just a little longer....all these souls were too tasty to pass up. An excellent appetizer to the main course.
Rattle rattle rattle rattle.

Noises, there were noises coming from the Common Room, she could hear them and people. Lex's eyes went wide at Alice. There were people stuck down there with the dementors!!!
She was about to yank the door open, to see if there was anyone worth saving but then she heard it...breathing on the other side of the door. The thing followed them--CDKGFIKSVFGUKD,J!!!! "Dooooooo something!!!!' She almost screamed at Alice. dementor! Outside the door!! "Make it go away!! Don't make it come in here!! Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!"
Not that she was freaking out. Noooooo, but see, dementors, they didn't keep their non-existent lips to themselves. They liked sharing soul sucking cooties and she wasn't exactly interested, you know? Things like this were best watched at a distance, where she could watch and be amazed--NOT when the dementor was on the next side of the door and two more were somewhere down in the Common Room!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was staring, she was very much aware of that. Her brain seemed to have shut down immediately though as the dementor started to moved towards Melanie. What was it doing? What was it going to do? Melanie lowered her hand from her mouth and tried to find her wand in her pocket. It had to be there somewhere and she had to be able to do something.
But it seemed as though her fingers found her wand in her pocket, the dementor had its hands on either side of her face.
It was cold. She was cold. And she felt very small and weak. She felt helpless as she stared wide eyed at the dementor, unable to move.
Melanie could hear voices that sounded familiar but she was afraid to say a word. There was a dementor touching her face. Her legs were ready to give out beneath her at any second as she continued to just stare at the dementor. There were a million things running through her mind and none of them were particularly pleasant or happy.

"What if it's not a dementor? What if it's someone like.. like Penelope? Trying to get in?" Alice couldn't tell by the breathing, but she did feel significantly sadder, which meant either that it was a dementor or someone with a dementor hot on their tail. "..... what if Penelope gets her soul sucked because of us?"
No. Ascanius wouldn't ever forgive her.
With that thought in mind, she turned to Lex. "I'm.. I'm gonna check, okay? And if it's not, help me slam it shut." She took a deep breath, and then pulled her wand out again. "Alohom-mora."
And then she opened the door.
... whoops.

The two were now upon the cowering pair of lions (lemon & DaniDiNardo) and their breathing was even more terrifying than ever. So close. So vibrant. So delicious.
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Oh yes, these two were delicious.
Meanwhile the dementor was leaning down towards the other Gryffindor (iBeJenn) and its black hood moved just enough to expose its hollowed mouth. So sweet. So delicious.
SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Rattle rattle rattle.
The remaining dementors in the room began to fly around with urgency, knocking into lamps, portraits, and other such things. They were hungry too and it was not right that only those three dementors get to snack.
