| | |  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.

"Oh, okay, yea--"
SHE WANTED TO DO WHAAAAT????
Alexa's eyes shot to the older girl who had a valid point. It was something she was thinking too but she had her doubts because that breathing was shaky, the bad kind, not the scared kind. Before she could point that out the door swung open and there they were.
Lex took a step back but that was all she managed. The cold that followed them chilled her to her bone. Nothing in her could remember how to move, her mind was filled with only the worst thoughts. This was a new kind of sadness and she didn't figure she wanted to die like this.
"Alice." She whispered, hoping she would do something. Felix began squirming in her hand, silently hissing at the thing and pawing at it occasionally.
Her last line of defense was a kneazle unless her Captain could pull something off.

....Well, the escaping was a good plan before the dementor totally blocked her way. Penelope stumbled back away from it quickly, somehow maintaining her balance, her eyes quickly looking around the room at the others to figure out another plan. What was it that older girl was saying? They should cast a Patronus?
"Then do it," she hissed. She couldn't conjure a proper Patronus herself yet, but if this girl could, then she oughta do it and she oughta do it FAST, not talk about it. They needed these dementors out of here before someone got hurt - or worse.
Like Melanie. A dementor was already after her and she seemed too scared to do anything, so Penelope did the only thing she could think to do - she ran at the older girl - "MELANIE GET DOWN!" - and RAMMED right into her side, trying to tackle her to the ground and in turn pull her out of the dementor's grip.

"L-Lex.. shut the do-" was all Alice had time to whisper before it began to feel like the very life was being sucked out of her. Cold. She was cold, and depressed, and hopeless. This was hopeless. "I.. I can't.. ca-cast a.." Could they stop sucking long enough for her to make words? Rude. They were making a meal out of her soul, the least they could do was give her a moment to form a complete sentence.
Who'd even CARE if she was soulless, anyway? Exactly. No one. She didn't matter, she wasn't important, and the situation was DIRE. Life was just pain and suffering and hurt and dementors.
The wand in her hand fell to the ground.
Help would be much appreciated now, thanks.

The dementors were closer now. So close to the sweetest kiss they had ever tasted. The one that had been about to perform the kiss on the one student (iBeJenn) suddenly flew backwards when another (AlwaysSnapesGirl) hurtled herself at the other. The one that had been blocking the door did not follow, but instead curled its ugly fingers to move open the door to lead back into the corridor. It turned its caped head towards its companions, as if saying something, and then swiftly glided out of the Gryffindor common room.
The remaining dementors each took one last long suck on the students before they unwillingly left the room as well.
There was something even more tantalizing elsewhere...
Thank you for unlocking the door, by the way. Made things so much easier.

This type of feeling was horrible. She felt sad, miserable, horrible and every word that was a synonym to sad. And she couldn't do anything about it. She was unable to conjure up a single happy thought and couldn't even move at that. Well, she probably could if she tried hard enough but she didn't. She felt so weak, so useless and she felt like crying. Melanie Sung felt like curling up into a little ball and then go onto crying her eyes out. The dementor was so close... so...
Melanie could hear a familiar voice calling her name and telling her to get down. Yes, get down, Melanie should do that but she couldn't... or well... maybe she could because she had fallen over and was no longer in the grip of the dementor.
It hurt. Her head. She must've bumped it against the floor when someone knocked her to the ground. And though her vision was a bit blurry, she could make out the dark shapes that flew out of the Gryffindor common room. The dementors had left.
And Melanie felt like she would leave too. Everything was slightly blurry and she was tired. It was like there was a heavy weight on her. Oh wait... that was probably... blinking her eyes a few times and then squinting, she could see the person who had saved her. "Thanks Penelope," Melanie muttered, patting the girl, and then closing her eyes. So... tired.

It wasn't long before Lex lost all feeling in her knees and toppled to the floor. There wouldn't be any help, would there? Alice had dropped her wand, they were locked away in their Common Room where Professors and others typically didn't visit. What was the point anyway? They would probably all get that kiss and you know what? It probably wouldn't be a problem to anyone.
Amanda would be happy she was gone, she'd make her father happy she as gone too and they'd be happy with Jessa. Before long she'd be a memory.
Sniffle. She didn't want to be anyone's memory, she was there long before the baby. It wasn't fair. Felix jumped forward but there was apparently no need because it was leaving...so was Alice's attacker. She blinked but none of this really registered to her at first.
Nothing did really.
Her eyes didn't focus on anything in particular, it was like she'd zoned out, still feeling the chill...until she felt a paw on her knee. REALLY looking for the first time since the dementors showed up she saw Felix with a chocolate frog lodged in his mouth. He dropped it on her lap then began ripping it open. His paw fell on a loose foot and he waited for her to take it.
Slowly she reached for it and took a hesitant bite. The warmth that followed inside her was odd...really odd but in a good way...?
She watched Felix flick another toward Alice but he wouldn't leave Lex's side until he was sure she was fine.

She felt herself hit the ground - or something - with a thud, and so hopefully her plan had worked, but Penelope couldn't bring herself to move any more except to slide her arm that wasn't thrown over something up to shield her face more. Maybe she could've gotten up and tried to find another way for them to escape, but the thought of the dementors hovering over her and waiting to grab her the second she turned her face toward them encouraged her to just keep her face toward the ground. Without any other positive thoughts of rescue or escape, the horrible effect of the dementors finally took over.
All the bad things she'd like to forget, things about her family, her grandparents, her parents, her cousins, everything, flashed through her mind and overwhelmed her with all the emotions that came along with them, magnified by the lack of happy memories that the dementors made impossible to remember. She trembled slightly, partly from the emotions, partly from the cold, not even caring if it made her appear weak. She felt weak...and helpless...and miserable...and cold...so cold...
...but then...was the cold lessening or was that just.....?
No...no, it was definitely less cold now, and the thoughts...they were still there, but not as overpowering...
Penelope heard a voice, so she peered up a little and saw Melanie. No dementors. Just Melanie and - as she glanced quickly around - Alice and Alexa and the other two Gryffindors she didn't know. All safe. Thank Merlin... "Y-You're welcome, Melanie," she answered the girl, her voice small and soft, and she moved a little so that she wasn't laying on Melanie so much. The fourth year didn't get up yet though. She just...laid there and tried to gather her thoughts...

Ronnie couldn't help but let out a little shriek as the dementors moved closer and she stared in shock as they began to suck the souls of Melanie and Lex. She swallowed hard and watched with wide eyes as they slipped away. Her face was white and she could not believe what she had just seen. Quickly, she turned to face the two girls. "Are you alright?" she asked them, worry in her eyes. Then she remembered the chocolate stash she had in the dorm. After dashing upstairs to the dorm, she grabbed her bag of sweets and ran back down the stairs and handed each girl a piece of chocolate. "Here," she said as she handed them to them.
Glancing behind her where the dementors had left, she turned around and looked at them. "I'm going after them. They need to get out of here before they go get more souls." she said, taking her wand out again. "You guys can stay here. Take care of each other." she nodded and sighed, turning towards the door. Time to kick some dementor butt!

Harland felt as if he was frozen in place. The Dementors were actually... Doing what Dementors do. He hadn't expected that, really, which was probably naive of him. But at the moment, he couldn't think about any of that, he could just think of how cold it was. Nothing seemed to matter at that moment, not even the fact that Dementors were sucking the souls out of other people. He wanted to help, but he was useless, he couldn't produce a Patronus. He didn't like feeling useless, that wasn't a nice feeling. He wanted to yell out, as if that would stop them, but his voice was caught in his throat. He did not like this.
Not one bit.
Then it was as if time stopped and he closed his eyes, starting to shake slightly as the Dementors took their last breath of their souls. He couldn't describe how that felt. Had they just sucked on his? Surely not...
Suddenly, the air seemed to unfreeze, as well as time. He heard a small groan coming from somewhere, quiet enough that he only just heard, before he realised that it had in fact come from him. He opened his eyes once more to see students on the ground, students stood up, one student running off. Well, that was a surefire way to lose your soul. But for now, he had to ignore how he felt, put the happy Harland mask back on. Maybe he could just do that permanently, forget this ever happened.
He doubted it.
Slowly, for fear of falling seeing as his legs were still shaking, he made his way down the stairs and gripped the banister. "Is everyone okay?" He asked softly, a complete alternative to his usual voice.

Blinking her eyes a few times helped with getting her vision focused. But it didn't take away that sad feeling inside of her. It was really such a heavy feeling. Melanie looked back at Penelope and wanted to hug her. Ah... Melanie felt a bit useless at the moment. She hadn't been able to do anything to help and she was older than the fourth year. The younger gryffindor had saved her life because she was pretty sure the dementor would've killed her had Penelope not rammed herself into Melanie.
Someone was asking if she was alright. Oh, that was Ronnie. Still lying on the ground she gave a weak smile. "Never been better," Melanie replied with a forced laugh before taking the piece of chocolate that had been offered. She nibbled at it and looked at Penelope. "Eat some chocolate slowly, it... it should help," Melanie said quietly to Penelope who was still lying on the ground.
Ronnie was saying something about going after them.
Wait.
What?!
The Gryffindor sat up quickly, wincing because her head from doing that. Ow. Then she heard someone else asking if everyone was alright. She looked at him wide eyed and all. Had he been here the whole time because Melanie had not seen him there. "She wants to battle dementors. I don't think that's okay. Someone needs to go see a professor and explain this situation to them... not run after dementors with a wand and trying to get them all out of here," Melanie said a bit angrily. Because if Ronnie really wanted to go battle dementors, wouldn't she have saved them all from the cloaked creatures first? If she really wanted to 'go after them' she would've started here when people's souls were actually being sucked, right? But no, the girl hadn't done a thing so what if she was face to face with a dementor and froze up? Then she would be doomed.
Then Melanie took a big bite of the chocolate that had been offered to stop herself from saying more. She did not want to offend anyone.

So he had heard her correctly, she was actually going to go after these Dementors. "I agree... If she couldn't fight the Dementors for all of us, she probably can't defend herself... But I doubt she'll find them, if I'm honest..." Those Dementors could have gone anywhere, and they were faster than the girl was. "But I guess she'll have to learn that the hard way..." He muttered, kneeling beside the two. "Do either of you have a clue why Dementors were in our common room? Or why they're at Hogwarts at all? I'm new, I'm afraid..." Or he just knew nothing about this place... Maybe Dementors were always parading around the school, sucking everyone's souls out for fun?

Penelope only vaguely heard the seventh year girl speak as she tried to gather her thoughts and push the bad ones back into their place in the back of her mind. That was all she cared about now, trying to stop thinking about bad things...but of course, the more she tried NOT to think about it, the harder it was to stop. Right, wasn't there something...something in DADA class about this...
Her focus was momentarily broken when she felt something shoved in her hand, and she looked up to see what it was. Chocolate...no, she wasn't really hungry...
But then she heard Melanie say that it would help...and she then remembered people saying before that chocolate was supposed to help after dementor attacks...so she pushed herself up into a sitting position and took a small bite of the chocolate. Only a small one because she felt like she'd be sick if she ate too much of anything right now. But even a little bit seemed to help a little, thankfully...
It was then that she noticed the seventh year girl was gone, and she tuned in to what Melanie and the older boy were saying. The girl had gone after them? That was...honestly, yeah, that was kinda stupid.
"Yeah, someone should get a professor... Or all the professors..." All was better than none or just one when facing a bunch of dementors, right? The more Patronuses cast, the easier it would be to get them away and out of the castle.
As for the boy's questions...Penelope shook her head a little. "I have no idea... They shouldn't even be at Hogwarts... I've never seen them before this term..." She was pretty sure Hogwarts wasn't usually on a list of places dementors visited often. Or at least it wasn't supposed to be...

Melanie wanted tea.
Sure the chocolate had helped but her tummy was feeling all flipfloppy and had a feeling tea would help her calm down. And it'd probably help everyone else down too but Melanie refused to go down to the kitchens or even leave the common room. There were dementors out there. But there were professors out there too, weren't there?
"We should probably get the headmistress," Melanie said quietly, drawing random circles and triangles on the floor with her finger. But could the headmistress even do anything? Who knew how many dementors were even out there? And who would even want to go outside and face the dementors? Melanie was pretty sure that if any of them stepped foot outside the common room to look for a professor, they'd see one and then... yeah... soul sucked out and stuff.
It wasn't pleasant. Melanie knew that was a fact.
Then the boy was on the ground too. Voluntarily. Oh well, okay, that was okay too she supposed. And Penelope was right about the whole not supposed to be at Hogwarts thing. "This isn't the first time dementors have been at Hogwarts..." Melanie pointed out. Because they had been here a long time ago too. Melanie had read that in a book somewhere. But why were they here? "The Ministry used to use them as guards or something... I think." Melanie couldn't remember everything she had studied from last year. That was practically impossible.
She sat there silently, thinking. "So... who wants to go get the professors?" Melanie asked.
Because she didn't.

"We.. w-we have to check.. the others.. if they're o-okay... down there.. I didn't see anyon-ne..."
Her voice wasn't quivering, okay? And she wasn't crying.
There was just something in her eye.
Obviously.

"Yeah, someone should get a professor... Or all the professors..." All was better than none or just one when facing a bunch of dementors, right? The more Patronuses cast, the easier it would be to get them away and out of the castle.
As for the boy's questions...Penelope shook her head a little. "I have no idea... They shouldn't even be at Hogwarts... I've never seen them before this term..." She was pretty sure Hogwarts wasn't usually on a list of places dementors visited often. Or at least it wasn't supposed to be... Quote:

But there were professors out there too, weren't there?
"We should probably get the headmistress," Melanie said quietly, drawing random circles and triangles on the floor with her finger. But could the headmistress even do anything? Who knew how many dementors were even out there? And who would even want to go outside and face the dementors? Melanie was pretty sure that if any of them stepped foot outside the common room to look for a professor, they'd see one and then... yeah... soul sucked out and stuff.
It wasn't pleasant. Melanie knew that was a fact.
Then the boy was on the ground too. Voluntarily. Oh well, okay, that was okay too she supposed. And Penelope was right about the whole not supposed to be at Hogwarts thing. "This isn't the first time dementors have been at Hogwarts..." Melanie pointed out. Because they had been here a long time ago too. Melanie had read that in a book somewhere. But why were they here? "The Ministry used to use them as guards or something... I think." Melanie couldn't remember everything she had studied from last year. That was practically impossible.
She sat there silently, thinking. "So... who wants to go get the professors?" Melanie asked.
Because she didn't. So the Dementors weren't supposed to be there, well, that made him feel better. Dementors managing to get into a school which was meant to be really safe. He was sure they were there for a good reason, though...? Okay, he was a bit doubtful, because he didn't think they were meant to be attempting to suck other people's souls out. So it was a good idea that one of them went to get a professor, something he would probably do. Maybe he could try and find the head of their house? He didn't know who it was, but he could find out, he decided as he stood up. "I'll go and find a professor. Uh..." What else was he meant to say? "Stay safe, eat chocolate, try not to lose your souls." That was good enough. He offered a small smile, before pulling his wand out for protection as he quickly departed the common room in search of their head of house.
And so the manhunt began.

Penelope didn't feel strong enough yet to get up and get the professors - and she hated the feeling. She hated feeling weak and helpless. It almost pushed her to force herself up anyway and march out of there to find a professor, but the boy was already offering and heading on out, so instead she sat there and stared silently at the chocolate in her hand.
The bad thoughts were still floating around her mind, ready to come to the forefront if she paid even the slightest bit of attention to them, but she finally remembered what she'd learned in that one DADA lesson - the more you tried NOT to think about something, the harder it was to not think about it. So she instead tried to focus on something positive, and the first thing that popped in her head was a song. Still staring at the chocolate without really seeing it anymore, she focused on that song, the lyrics, and the memory that always came up with it.
Someday...when I'm awfully low...when the world is cold...I will feel a glow just thinking of you...and the way you look tonight...
It continued on in her head as she replayed flashes of that day, her and Ascanius' first anniversary, in her mind... And finally, after the whole song had played in her mind, she was feeling a bit better, much less sad and more happy than a few minutes ago.
Blinking to clear her vision, Penelope finally noticed the chocolate again and willingly took another small bite. As she chewed it, she glanced over to the stairs to the dormitories where she knew some students were (though through all the chaos she hadn't been able to tell who it was) and called, though her voice was still kinda soft, "Are you guys okay in there?" She and Melanie were the only ones in the common room so she knew they were fine, but she wasn't sure about the dorm people.

Once she was back in the castle and had retrieved her own textbook, Alice settled down on the common room floor, ready to strip some bark. She used her wand cautiously, not wanting to mess up the process for fear of having to repeat all the previous steps. As the pieces of bark fell, Alice gathered them up into the pouch they'd used for collecting Niffler treasure in Care of Magical Creatures. Good use for mokeskin pouches, wasn't it?
She brushed off her branch, content with her work.
Next was song writing.
That was the hard part, definitely.
