After supplying the term's password, ‘Tribble Troubles’, the Fat Lady swings her portrait open revealing the entrance to your home away from home. The hearth has a few low burning embers just enough to give it a homely warm feeling in the Scottish highlands, and its low light illuminates the comfy armchairs before it.
The common room has a fresh feel to it, with curtains in Gryffindor house colors drawn across two new rooms in the back that shall have to remain a mystery until morning. The sweet aroma of chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, pumpkin pasties, and buttered popcorn fill the common room, and there are large white mugs filled with hot cocoa or tea set out on a long table near the fireplace. A few roasting sticks, along with all the fixings (including an assortment of gourmet marshmallows in various flavors) to make delicious hot schmoes smores can be found on the opposite side of the fireplace.
On one of the end tables beside the large sofa in front of the fireplace are twostacks of parchment for you to take should you so desire. It would be in your best interest if you did, however. Will come in handy for those lions lacking life experience.
For those who are returning, this is an excellent opportunity to catch up with friends and for those that are newly sorted, this is an opportunity to make friends. Unless your bed is beckoning you, sit, relax, have some snacks and chat. Your Head of House and House Assistant wish you a pleasant start to the new school term.
OOC: This is the common room thread for after the start of term feast - our first night home! The general common room thread will open in 3-4 days for regular RP depending on how much fun and chaos you all cause in here. Welcome to, or welcome back to, Gryffindor!
Bianca beamed at everyone after entering the common room, waving like she was royalty. Which she wasn't but it was still fun.
"Don't worry. Bianca Evelyn Caruso is here." So you could all clap, wave, bow down now.
She had a bright cheery smile. Bianca could wait to continue bedazzling her uniform and the whatnot. And what was the lovely smell in the air? OH. There was food here too? Wow, she was liking this place a lot. She grabbed a chocolate frog and stuffed it in her mouth.
Cheeks still full, she waved to the professors, the chocolate frog box still in her hand. "What's up Professors?"

I think it's something that they don't have generally" maybe if this boy wasn't a muggleborn, then he'd be able to confirm that thought for him. "I'm not sure... it might be a bit of a mix of war games and just a gathering..." he commented, glancing at the marshmallows that were on another table.
Would he be able to get away with taking a few?
Eh... he was still too lazy to move... maybe in 5 minutes?
Considering it seemed as though they were going to be tasked with creating forts of some description, he was already scouting for the best possible partner in such an endeavour. Leo was earning himself bonus points, as he seemed to share the same fort building philosophy. Why limit yourself to one type, he would never understand. A combination of the two were far more entertaining, especially when one could produce a labyrinth of it all. "Glad to here it," he mused. Hehe.
As for the USE of the silly string, Zeke turned back to inspect the damage, or lack there off. Yeah, he was right, they were holding out on each other. "I'm sure they'll get the hang of it eventually, I think you're right though, I haven't seen any in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes nor in Zonko's... pity, can you just imagine MAGIC silly string?" It sounded like a money making machine to him, oh the possibilities!
He was taking a sip of his drink as another Lion came through the portrait. A loud and ridiculous Lion. Pfffffffoooooshhhhh! Zeke spit cocoa down his front as he attempted to hold back a snort. Rather unsuccessfully, obviously. Caruso was one to watch out for.

Peeling off a portion of the silly string from her hair, she wiggled it, expecting it to fall off from her fingers but, it stuck. It. Stuck.
"Prepare for the vorst, Mister Flamsteed." Hence her pointing her can towards the man, mischievous grin on her face... and totally not expecting the entrance to the common room to open right then. Oh! SCHOOOOM. Wait. What? Ahem. Hopping off the couch, she hid the can behind her back, which didn't make much a difference, and beamed at those entering the common room. Don't mind her picking at string stuff in her hair. Silly string? What silly string?
"Hellooooo, everyone." she bowed her head a little, taking a step to the side for Airey to gain the spotlight while wiggling her fingers a little towards Benjamin. Good evening to you too!
Airey's eyes widened as Medea shot gunk from her can as well...towards the fireplace. While he may not have known how to operate the can, he HAD done a little bit of research on the stuff in the can and knew that historically speaking that the substance could be flammable. Thankfully, this new aged gunk was made with better stuff that wouldn't set the common room on fire.
"WAIT! I NEED MY ALUMINIUM FOIL HELMET!" he flailed - what, she said to prepare for the worst! - as he was covered in blue string!gunk. Looked awful with his red suit, by the way, but oh well.
He was getting ready to retaliate - grabbing more cans of the stuff and popping the caps off and allowing them to fall to the ground - when Gryffindors began arriving from the feast. He threw Medea a quick glance just to let her know that it was SO still on, but turned his attention to the students that were slowly trickling in and unleashed RAINBOW STREAMS OF GUNK upon EVERYONE.
"WELCOME HOME, GRYFFINDORS!" he greeted. "Not to worry. This stuff is harmless." He set down all of his cans, save for the one he had been originally holding, and turned to one of the newer Gryffindors (AlwaysSnapesGirl). "It is indeed. Familiar with it?" he asked while handing the boy a can with a lime green lid.
Waving and spraying addition gunk on others who walked past and said hello, he soon found himself pushing down on air as the Head Girl had taken his can. "You're welcome to keep that, Miss Cambridge," he nodded, grabbing an orange lid can instead. "And help yourself to more for ammo once you complete your fort."
Which reminded him that he ought to make an announcement to, er, sort of organize things. Ish.
"Alright, Gryffindors, listen up! If you want to head to your dorms real quick to change out of uniform and in pajamas you are more than welcome to do so. There are snacks and drinks for those who didn't get their fill at the feast and the area in front of the fireplace has been designated as a 'quiet zone'," he explained, complete with air quotes because he did not expect there to be much quiet in the common room this evening. "There are some handouts over there on the table showing how best to make blanket and sofa forts, so grab a friend and get constructing if you wish and get ready for a silly string battle until we get too exhausted to move or bored with it. You may choose to sleep in your blanket and sofa forts with friends if you wish rather than the dorms. But let me make it ABSOLUTELY clear there is to be NO co-ed sleeping this evening." He had seen MORE than enough of that sort of STUFF this evening.
"Other than that, just kick back and enjoy your first night in the common room !"
And he was now going to get up off his imaginary soap box and make himself a delicious hot schmo before starting construction on his own blanket fort.

And now there was blue stringy stuff around. Did the professors have something that he wasn't aware of? Benny ignored it, instead paying attention as Romanos greeted everyone and gave him a wave. At least he thought it was just to him. Grabbing a a mug of hot chocolate, he glanced around again as more and more lions appeared, finally spotting a couple of faces he knew. Well one he knew personally in the form of AJ. The other, the boy from Diagon Alley.
Oh and Miss Head Girl had reentered his line of sight.
The boy had occupied himself for a fellow new student and Alexa was chilling out and nodded in acknowledgement of him while AJ had made the approach, apparently just as unfamiliar with the rest of the room's occupants as he was. "Honestly...no. Well other than the professors. Alexa and a young boy I ran into over the summer." Everyone else was a relative stranger who was either new or Benny had just never met before.
The atmosphere was nice, and the party had clearly been thought out nicely. They even had muggle party accessories in the form of silly string and instructions to build a blanket fort. AJ didn't need to read up on that. She was a pro at that sort of thing. Why was she not her usual perky self? This was totally her thing. Under normal circumstances she would be getting chocolate wasted, and shooting everybody near her with the colorful junk. Of course she knew the answer to that. Adi. He was going to ask a girl out and their relationship would never be the same.
Benny confirmed that he didn't know many of the faces either. "Good. I thought it was just me." Where was Angel? AJ thought that she had been right behind her. "Want to build a fort or something?" she asked without any kind of emotion whatsoever. The second year just stood there all awkward like.
She saw Lex, Leo, and Zeke enter and they all got halfhearted smiles. She should be shooting them in the face with silly string, but it just didn;t sound as fun right now. AJ listened to everything that her new head of house had to say and nodded. She got it.

Bay entered the coomonroom and he knew that there would be a party but nothing like this.. "WOW" he thought while looking around watching everyone talking and playing with Silly string. HA, it was so good to be a Gryffindor thats for sure. Spotting his new head of house he made his way over to Professor Flamsteed. "sorry Sir… that I'm late.. I got on a staircase that totally went the wrong way and I had to figure my way back…" he laughed as he ran his hand through his hair.
"This is just amazing! do you mind if I try one of those silly strings?" asking because he has seen them around sure, but he hasn't physically tried them out for himself before. Looking around the room while waiting for the Professor's response he watched some of the other kids play with it.. ughhhhh it just made him want to do it so much more now.
Angel looked around the Gryffindor Common room to see where her sister was the party looked awesome but she wasn't in the mood for a Party so she dragged herself over to her sister when she saw her. "Hey Sis, how are you?" Angel sighed. "That was a crazy feast." Angel sighed, seriously all she wanted to do was go to sleep and wake up back at home.
Angel suddenly realised Benny was near her, she blushed some, whilst giving him a small smile. "Ben, how are you?" Angel asked, still a bit worried he was mad at her for what had happened at the feast.

It was official. Gryffindor was THE BEST HOUSE EVER. Good choice by him AND the hat. Yep. He couldn't think of anywhere else he'd rather be right now, cept for maybe at home and building a fort with Ashley and Avery instead, but.. yeah... this was pretty cool. He couldn't complain much, and so, he didn't.
The welcome home part was nice, and the random attacks was pretty neat too... but there would be time for that soon enough he supposed. He looked down at his plain black school robes, and instantly he was up and out of his seat, eager to change and get ready for war.
"Woooooo!"
He was totes in a mood for silly string fort war, yep. On his way to the stairs though, a couple of people caught his attention...

AJ was the first he noticed, and he flashed her a smile in doing so. Was it just him? Or did she not seem as bouncy and happy and eager as she had before? Either way, he could hardly wait to explore the castle with her, so long as she didn't ruin all of the surprises. Nobody liked a spoil sport.
Zeke gave her a short wave and was almost ready to run up the stairs to change, when the male prefect dude amused him...
And ohhhhh did he amuse him. HAHAHAHAHAA.

Did he hear correctly? ...
"You're what, a sixth year? seventh year?" he started, questioning the boys age. Mans age. He was BIG, so... older. "And you had to "figure" your way back here?" he asked, skeptically, making finger quotations in the air to emphasise the key point.
"If you don't remember the way by now, then you might need a map." Just saying. And there was nothing wrong with maps, there were heaps of good maps out there, particularly the treasure kind. "X marks the spot!" He added brightly, pointing down to the boys shoes. Could he make him look?! Hehehehe.

Okay yes so he had arrived a little later than everyone else, but it WASN'T because he forgot the password, okay?! Dumb yearbook superlative that wasn't even true. Hmph. He was only late because he spent extra time looking for Professor Bentley after the feast. Beautiful Bentley where was she?! But yes back to the point, after telling the portrait THE RIGHT password that he REMEMBERED he walked into a very.... wild Common Room and before he could say anything else he was covered in rainbow gunk????
And then before he could do anything else, he spotted O________O ROMANOS?! Could someone please explain what was going on here? (Also, it was a fact that Romanos had been called a Cold One in the yearbook so clearly she was one still and even though his liquid luck induced self apologized for that he was still very suspicious okay). And he had been staring at her, mouth agape for like three minutes now?
And then back to the common room. Why were there so many people he didn't know? And why was there rainbow gunk flying everywhere? AND WHERE WAS BEAUTIFUL BENTLEY!?

Jeremiah was one of the last in the room. He liked to hang in the back and observe the other students as they walked to the dorm room. Walking into the Common room the newly crowned sixth year couldn't help but JUMP at the sudden onslaught of rainbow streamers that fell upon his head. "what?" Oh..... Oh no this was another welcoming party like last term, yea? Jeremiah didn't like parties. specially not with a bunch of people he didn't know, or care for. Pulling a bright orange streamer off his head he tossed it on the floor as he caught the end of what Airey was saying. Right dorm.. change.. how about dorm.. sleep? was that a possible option? He wasn't sure about anyone else but he had classes and things to do in the morning already adn he was tired so he was just going to attempt to sneak up to his room. if he could juuuuuuust snake through the crowd unnoticed..
Considering it seemed as though they were going to be tasked with creating forts of some description, he was already scouting for the best possible partner in such an endeavour. Leo was earning himself bonus points, as he seemed to share the same fort building philosophy. Why limit yourself to one type, he would never understand. A combination of the two were far more entertaining, especially when one could produce a labyrinth of it all. "Glad to here it," he mused. Hehe.
As for the USE of the silly string, Zeke turned back to inspect the damage, or lack there off. Yeah, he was right, they were holding out on each other. "I'm sure they'll get the hang of it eventually, I think you're right though, I haven't seen any in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes nor in Zonko's... pity, can you just imagine MAGIC silly string?" It sounded like a money making machine to him, oh the possibilities!
He was taking a sip of his drink as another Lion came through the portrait. A loud and ridiculous Lion. Pfffffffoooooshhhhh! Zeke spit cocoa down his front as he attempted to hold back a snort. Rather unsuccessfully, obviously. Caruso was one to watch out for.
"Magic silly string?" Leo repeated, a grin on his face before he started laughing. "I think it'd either be on of the many colour changing things, which is way better than having silly string of one colour anyway, or it would have a life of it's own" the latter idea was a scary one actually. He could just imagine the pieces of silly string flying around and attacking them...
It would still be pretty funny to watch though.
He had to figure out a way to invent that in the next rest of his life.

He'd looked up from his tea in time to see AJ talking to another boy, but sending a small smile. It wasn't a real big one, in fact it wasn't much of a smile at all but oh well. She'd have to have a proper smile at some point...
So he waved, beaming at the older Gryffindor. "Hey AJ" he called, beaming even more at the fact that he managed to remember her name.
Leo was very proud of himself.

Leo didn't mean to... it was entirely accidental that he heard what the prefect that he'd seen earlier at the feast to Professor Flamsteed. But it did confuse him quite a lot, and he couldn't help but blurt out at the comment the prefect made.
"Wouldn't you know that the staircase went the wrong way though? I mean haven't you been here for like... years?"
He almost face palmed at his own words.
Well done Leo...
Well done.

Leonard felt sorry for the boy that walked in, unprepared for the chaos that had erupted into the common room and although the other boy was older, he offered a smile.
"They have silly string, muggle thing that he thought was like a party in a can" he said, pointing to their head of house. "Basically we're having a bit of a hey guys, welcome to Hogwarts party" he figured that was a really good summary of all the things that had happened so far.
Airey's eyes widened as Medea shot gunk from her can as well...towards the fireplace. While he may not have known how to operate the can, he HAD done a little bit of research on the stuff in the can and knew that historically speaking that the substance could be flammable. Thankfully, this new aged gunk was made with better stuff that wouldn't set the common room on fire.

"You're welcome to keep that, Miss Cambridge," he nodded, grabbing an orange lid can instead. "And help yourself to more for ammo once you complete your fort."
Which reminded him that he ought to make an announcement to, er, sort of organize things. Ish.

And he was now going to get up off his imaginary soap box and make himself a delicious hot schmo before starting construction on his own blanket fort.
"Woah," Sapphire couldn't help saying out loud after witnessing everything that was happening before her. She felt even more excited than before and laughed as streams of rainbow stuff fell over her. She continued to laugh as she removed some of the gunk that landed in her mouth. "Cool."
She turned around when she heard an adult start speaking. Sapphire listened intently, glancing at each place the professor mentioned. "String battle?" she wondered aloud, playing with the rainbow stuff that seemed to be everywhere in the room.

"I don't even know what I'm doing!" Sapphire said, as she heard someone somewhere behind her ask about the strings. She got tangled in them somehow. Trying to remove a particularly angry knot of rainbow string around her left ankle, she tripped on her own foot and landed on the floor. "I'm going to love it here," The little first year said as she laughed at herself.

Sapphire noticed an older student just come in and pass by. "Uh, hello," this first year greeted. All the party activity in the room made her feel at home with everyone, whether she knew them already or not. Yay Gryffindors! "You look surprised. I know it's not Gryffindor colours exactly, but don't you think all this rainbow stuff is awesome?!"

Peeling off a portion of the silly string from her hair, she wiggled it, expecting it to fall off from her fingers but, it stuck. It. Stuck.
"Prepare for the vorst, Mister Flamsteed." Hence her pointing her can towards the man, mischievous grin on her face... and totally not expecting the entrance to the common room to open right then. Oh! SCHOOOOM. Wait. What? Ahem. Hopping off the couch, she hid the can behind her back, which didn't make much a difference, and beamed at those entering the common room. Don't mind her picking at string stuff in her hair. Silly string? What silly string?
"Hellooooo, everyone." she bowed her head a little, taking a step to the side for Airey to gain the spotlight while wiggling her fingers a little towards Benjamin. Good evening to you too!

Chance was able to smile at Isla even with the cup on his lips. "Its true love at first sight." He furrowed his eyebrows. "I think I said that weird. Love at first sight? True love at first taste? Ahhh That sounds about right!" He laughed and shook her hand.
"Well, the train ride and feast had been rather, uneventful for me besides having a little bt of a food mental breakdown at the feast. I can only be seperated from the food at Howarts for so long before I go insane. Apparently I was eating food that wasnt there. Then when it was there, I ate too much. The trip up to the common room...." Chance shook his head at the sloshing he had felt in his belly and the many many steps. "We dont talk about bad things like that."
Chance laughed once more and took another sip of his cocoa. "True Love"

Thankfully, this new aged gunk was made with better stuff that wouldn't set the common room on fire.
"WAIT! I NEED MY ALUMINIUM FOIL HELMET!" he flailed - what, she said to prepare for the worst! - as he was covered in blue string!gunk. Looked awful with his red suit, by the way, but oh well.
He was getting ready to retaliate - grabbing more cans of the stuff and popping the caps off and allowing them to fall to the ground - when Gryffindors began arriving from the feast. He threw Medea a quick glance just to let her know that it was SO still on, but turned his attention to the students that were slowly trickling in and unleashed RAINBOW STREAMS OF GUNK upon EVERYONE.
"WELCOME HOME, GRYFFINDORS!" he greeted. "Not to worry. This stuff is harmless." He set down all of his cans, save for the one he had been originally holding, and turned to one of the newer Gryffindors (AlwaysSnapesGirl). "It is indeed. Familiar with it?" he asked while handing the boy a can with a lime green lid.
Waving and spraying addition gunk on others who walked past and said hello, he soon found himself pushing down on air as the Head Girl had taken his can. "You're welcome to keep that, Miss Cambridge," he nodded, grabbing an orange lid can instead. "And help yourself to more for ammo once you complete your fort."
Which reminded him that he ought to make an announcement to, er, sort of organize things. Ish.
"Alright, Gryffindors, listen up! If you want to head to your dorms real quick to change out of uniform and in pajamas you are more than welcome to do so. There are snacks and drinks for those who didn't get their fill at the feast and the area in front of the fireplace has been designated as a 'quiet zone'," he explained, complete with air quotes because he did not expect there to be much quiet in the common room this evening. "There are some handouts over there on the table showing how best to make blanket and sofa forts, so grab a friend and get constructing if you wish and get ready for a silly string battle until we get too exhausted to move or bored with it. You may choose to sleep in your blanket and sofa forts with friends if you wish rather than the dorms. But let me make it ABSOLUTELY clear there is to be NO co-ed sleeping this evening." He had seen MORE than enough of that sort of STUFF this evening.
"Other than that, just kick back and enjoy your first night in the common room !"
And he was now going to get up off his imaginary soap box and make himself a delicious hot schmo before starting construction on his own blanket fort.

Isla couldn't help but laugh as Chance talked about his hot cocoa being so good that it was true love. "You are one crazy guy." She said, shaking her head at him. "I wonder if the hot cocoa even feels the same way about you, because if it doesn't...that would be bad." Not that it would have a say or anything. Hah. Wait...he had a food mental breakdown? What was that? Oh..."maybe someone should supervise your eating or something. That doesn't sound too good." She smiled, clearly amused by him.
She was about to ask him whether or not he had transferred here, but before she could, rainbow silly string was sprayed at her and almost hit her hot cocoa. She laughed and turned around to see Professor Flamsteed and Professor Romanos going at it with the silly string. They must be having a silly string war or something. She was betting Professor Flamsteed was going to win against Professor Romanos, but that didn't have anything to do with how Isla was amazed of how good he looked or anything. Heh. "Professor Flamsteed, may I have a can of silly string please?" She asked with a big smile. He never said they could help themselves with that...so she wanted to be safe.
As the brunette was turning back around towards Chance, she noticed a guy (ArianaBlack) staring at Professor Romanos and she laughed. "Hey dude! You'll catch flies with your mouth open like that." She teased him. It was true...or other things. Who knows.
Isla wiped the remaining silly string off of her, struggling with one piece in her hair, but managing to finally get it out. "So how about you stay here, I go get into my awesome cat onesie, and we can build a sofa fort?" She asked, Chance. Without really hearing his answer, she hurried and finished her hot cocoa, and was up starting to walk to the girl's dormitories. She passed by the snack table where Ceo..., Phe and David was. She might as well say hi to him, right? "Hi, Ceo." She waved, blushing as she did. "Oh and hi, Phe and David. Great party, right? And by the way, I'm going to beat you guys at the silly string war. It's on." She gave an evil smirk, then ran up the stairs, changed into her amazing cat onesie and ran back down, taking a seat beside Chance once again. "Let's do this." She said, pulling out the paper with the instructions for the sofa fort.
Ceorlic's Hand had nearly pulled back the curtain to peek at what was behind it when he felt a hand take his. The sudden tug made him think that perhaps that House Head Jimmy had spotted him, or maybe it was Isla...
What a sigh of relief when it was just Phen...litterally he sighed and the Pasty popped out of his mouth and onto the floor. "Damn, whit a pure nasty world we bide in. That wis likelie th' maist magic pasty ah will ne'er git tae sloch noo." I mean look at at it! on the floor by his feet. He was sure some of Phen's glitter dust sprinkled on top of it too.
Speaking of the Dust. "I dinnae ken about yer dust, sae lang as it keeps tae yer side." He just looked down at his Pasty again. What a world!? It could have been still edible if Ceo didn't want to have a glittered up tongue by the time he finished it. "Mibbie we can paint th' walls Magpie Colors?" He looked over to David, then to Phen again. They were Magpie fans right?

Then...eh? Ceo had dropped his pumpkin pasty? That was a shame. "Can't you use magic to clean it?" There was a spell for that, wasn't there? Which suddenly reminded him that now that they were in school they could use magic WHENEVER they wanted here. Which was awesome. Chyeah.
"Yeah, m'fine glitter and paint and whatever." So long as it wasn't obnoxious, you know? Like how Jade was with glitter and sparkly things. THAT was obnoxious. But Magpie colors?? "That's a Quidditch team, right?" Just checking, because he'd heard and read a bit about Quidditch, but he had never played or seen a match, so he didn't really keep up with it. His uncle wasn't a fan of Quidditch, so he'd always tried to focus on teaching David only "educational" stuff, not how to play a sport.

"OR.." Phoenix wasn't about to let pessimism happen. "Maybe the next taste would have been the most disappointing taste you have ever tasted, and I saved you from having to go through that. So really, you should be thanking me." Right? Right. Gloss over the fact he just let food fall out of his mouth and find the good points. That was how to do it. TAKE NOTES.
So long as it kept to his side? Didn't he KNOW that glitter got EVERYWHERE the minute you let one tiny piece out of your sight? Ah well, Phoenix wasn't going to mention that. So far he'd got what he wanted. ^___^ "Black and white's a bit boring isn't it? I could paint magpies on the walls though, like... I dunno... in colourful trees or something." Phoenix liked colour. A lot.
Aaaaaand David was fine with the glitter and paint too, which put an even bigger smile than normal on Phoenix's face. "You guys should tell me what kinda stuff you like, I'll paint it." Like, his walls at home were usually just swirls and shapes and music notes in different colours, but he could adapt so that everyone felt at home.
He was about to pursue the matter further, when he caught sight of Isla... was she... blushing at Ceo..? Interesting. Veeeeeerry interesting. "Hey Isla." He gave a HUGE grin. "You're not going to beat us. You're going to try." And fail. Yep. Sorry.
WAIT A SECOND. SILLY STRING? Phe's eyes widened and he glanced down at his clothes. There was no WAY he was getting silly string on these trousers. He didn't want to damage the leather. So he took a sliiiiight step in the direction of the dorms. "M'gonna get changed, coming, guys?" And then he bounded off to quickly change into something a little more... appropriate.
Mitchell immediately flopped on one of the couches when he entered the common room. Oh wait. Hey. Look. Marshmellows and some sort of flyer on blanket forts. Interesting.
And Professors.
Right. Welcome back party. Cool.
Now. Who to talk to? Most of these people looked new.
So home sweet second home or some Mumbojumbo thing like that. Never the less she was glad to be back. She had missed this place...a lot. Of course she was late. Always late to the party. But it seem like the party was still popping.
She grabbed two cans of silly string. One for each hand. Or one for now one for later. Teehee she had plans for the other. She spotted at familiar face. Gosh so many new faces this term and she wanted to meet them all. All of these new faces and none of the ones she knew. Bay was being all prefecty. Zander had his own little group hanging out with him. No Emmy. No Nemo. No Bart. She wanted to see Bart. Being back in the common room made her miss him more than she could have ever imagined.
The familiar face was Mitchie, she hadn't spoken to him in quite a while. She waved to him. The other hand armed with a silly string can. "Hey Mitchie!" She walked over bad plopped down beside him. She debated silly stringing him. Maybe later.

So he took a sliiiiight step in the direction of the dorms. "M'gonna get changed, coming, guys?" And then he bounded off to quickly change into something a little more... appropriate.
Ceorlic sighed and shrugged at both Phen, and David. There was no arguing with them. "Ah cuid uise magic bit tis th' principle o' losing fairn. Tis juist sae depressing ye ken? Usin` magic oan it feels lik' defiling th' fairn efter tis natural state. " He spoke up still wanting to make his point known.
Phen didn't know what he was saying. Black and White wasn't boring. Long before the Maroon, and Gold he would be pridefully wearing out and about was the Black and White he'd wear when he and All his a Brothers were able to afford tickets to the Magpie games. Watching the Keeper, Keefer O'Marius and more recently Alice Fischer. Such beautiful simplicity in those colors. "Aye, tha' THE Quidditch Team. Jimmy Dave." Ceo gave his dorm mate a pat on the Shoulder. "Cuid ah paint th' magpies? " he asked Phoenix with a smile on his face. "A've got a recent team Banner Ah can hang by my bed. So Ye can gang Colorful on th' walls"
Then chaos happened. The Loud House Jimmy Prof. Was loud once more and shot string onto all of them, and declared a battle. Ceorlic was about to move to his dorm to change when he heard an all too familiar voice by now greet him from behind. "I-Isla" he said back to her stammering and blushing at the sight of the Bonny. He stayed frozen in place for a bit, recalling their train ride up together.
Pulling himself back together, Ceorlic too moved from Common Room, to Dorm then back to Common Room completely Changed. He eyed the room again to see who was preparing for war, he had to get his game face o...Was that a Cat Onesie!?!?

SPOILER!!: Zeke
Did he hear correctly? ...
"You're what, a sixth year? seventh year?" he started, questioning the boys age. Mans age. He was BIG, so... older. "And you had to "figure" your way back here?" he asked, skeptically, making finger quotations in the air to emphasise the key point.
"If you don't remember the way by now, then you might need a map." Just saying. And there was nothing wrong with maps, there were heaps of good maps out there, particularly the treasure kind. "X marks the spot!" He added brightly, pointing down to the boys shoes. Could he make him look?! Hehehehe.
While he was looking around he saw a very young boy looking at him and talking to him… ”seventh?” he answered him and waited for more words to come out of the kids mouth.. WHAT….. this kid totally had some nerve to him, Bay kind of liked that but… you know he wasn’t going to let what looked like a first year be rude to him.
”yeah I have other things on my mind. We will wait and see for when you get lost and you’ll need help” he said quietly because Professor Flamsteed was nearby and he didn’t want to be over heard being rude to a young kid. OMG!!! Could he just pull out his wand and jinx this kid.. seriously… “x marks the spot” did he really think that he was going to fall for that.. Letting out a breath of air he turned around to walk away from him… still debating on jinxing him that’s for sure.
SPOILER!!: Leo
Leo didn't mean to... it was entirely accidental that he heard what the prefect that he'd seen earlier at the feast to Professor Flamsteed. But it did confuse him quite a lot, and he couldn't help but blurt out at the comment the prefect made.
"Wouldn't you know that the staircase went the wrong way though? I mean haven't you been here for like... years?"
He almost face palmed at his own words.
Well done Leo...
Well done.
OKAY!! It seemed like it was pick on Bay day… what’s going on with these young kids. But this one didn’t seem as rude as the last.. ”I’ve only been here three years and this is my last” he told the child as tried to give him a smile… it was just very hard because the other boy had been totally crazy. Seeing the kid now he totally looked like he’s seen a ghost.. ohhhh Bay time to be nice…. I guess…
”so are you a first year?” he could totally be a first year or a transfer… but no way was he over third year.
SPOILER!!: Sapphire
"I don't even know what I'm doing!" Sapphire said, as she heard someone somewhere behind her ask about the strings. She got tangled in them somehow. Trying to remove a particularly angry knot of rainbow string around her left ankle, she tripped on her own foot and landed on the floor. "I'm going to love it here," The little first year said as she laughed at herself.
Laughing with her and not at her Bay moved over towards the young lioness, ”you and me both kid” he loved as she was tangling herself in the silly string. And then she fell over.. Bending down Bay tired to help her up.. ”Here, let me help you” he said as he ripped the tangled silly string away from her ankles and got up and held out a hand to her. ”I love your attitude!!!” he knew he was going to like this one.. See rude boy… this one over here knows how to act, maybe he should take some pointers. ”I’m Bay… how about you?”.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Ugh , a house party. Please remind him WHY he was even here? If it hadn't been for the fact that he had to basically live here, he wouldn't have even bothered coming. But since he did...he didn't have much choice.
What did people even do at a house party? He hadn't been there last year and he couldn't remember if they made a party in his first. Wait, why did he even care? And with exactly that expression on his face, like nothing cared him, he entered the Common Room and sat down near the fireplace.
He recognized some of his fellow students...meaning Zander..... but the others were just faces he sometimes saw and of course the newbies. He leaned forward in his chair and turned it around so that his back was facing the crowd. He had never been the social type of guy. Well, it was mosty because people didn't want to talk to him and if they did it was something negative...which he usually brought up heh.
And thats when it happened. He hadn't even seen Flailsteed at first until his LOUD voice echoed throughout the room and he couldn't help but look over his shoulder to see what was going on when he was suddenly covered with rainbow colored...something..goo? The boy groaned in frustration. It was something HE would do but he was the type that liked to do the pranks, not be the victim of them.
And that also reminded him, he needed his hat back...

Oh no this was another welcoming party like last term, yea? Jeremiah didn't like parties. specially not with a bunch of people he didn't know, or care for. Pulling a bright orange streamer off his head he tossed it on the floor as he caught the end of what Airey was saying. Right dorm.. change.. how about dorm.. sleep? was that a possible option? He wasn't sure about anyone else but he had classes and things to do in the morning already adn he was tired so he was just going to attempt to sneak up to his room. if he could juuuuuuust snake through the crowd unnoticed..
So it looked like Zander wasn't the only one caught by the surprise of this chaos. Sometimes after a good welcome feast people just go straight to bed. Because long train rides filled with a crying girl and an over stuffed belly, but of course not in Gryffindor house. They had to have a party. A party with rainbow gooey string everywhere. And evidently Professor Romanos. Why was she here again? But back to the point, Zander wasn't the only caught in the whole mess of things because when he heard a voice come from beside him he noticed some other kid. An older guy, so not a kid, but still he looked out of place too. "Yeaaah," he replied to the guy. Not an answer to his question, but Zander felt the same way okay.

"I'm Leo by the way"
Introductions were always good.
Then, turning back to the crowd, Zander saw a younger boy approaching. Was he one of the new firsties? The Gryffindor tried to think back to the sorting ceremony, but funny enough he couldn't remember a single thing from it. Ooops. He was probably searching for Bentley the entire time. Didn't have time to welcome the new lions. Seeing the friendly smile on the boy's face, the older Gryffindor gave one of his own. As friendly and warm as a utterly confused fourteen yearold could be. Sort of.
Silly string? Of course coming from a muggle family Zander knew exactly what the stuff was. But having it at the common room? That was an entirely different story. "Yeah that's Flailsteed-- I mean, uh, Flamsteed for you," he said nodding towards the eccentric man. Wonder what Beautiful Bentley would say if she got sight of this Common Room... Maybe he could clean it for her later?! THEN SHE'D REALLY GIVE HIM A HUG!! "Oh uh yeah, makes sense... They did something like this last term too... Sort of," except he ended that night with his arm bitten into... But thankfully there was no Zahra Kettleburn around this place quite yet. MAYBE SHE QUIT HOGWARTS!! Ahem. Too hopeful?
Leo, that was easy enough. The Gryffindor nodded and smiled, "I'm Zander, third year," And then as if changing his mind he shook his head right away and "I mean fourth year... I'm a fourth year." Oops. Heh.

There was goop all over his blonde hair and he'd have to pick it out tonight and what if Beautiful Bentley saw him like this!! "I... I guess, but it'd really be more awesome if we had our own cans," because then he wouldn't just be the one getting gooped on, you know? He'd much rather be the gooper not the goop-ie. And who was this girl? She was totally not a familiar face...
SPOILER!!: Islaaaaa

Looking around he, wait a minute catch flies? Oh. His mouth. He was still standing there staring at everyone. Oh yeah. Quickly, the boy closed his mouth and looked at the laughing girl. "I-uh-oh. I didn't realize it was still open.." he offered a tiny chuckle? Because oops? Okay okay so maybe he didn't remember to close his mouth, BUT he did remember the common room password so that superlative was still wrong okay!!! It was! He remembered it!! And he got in ALL by himself!!

Well, it was mosty because people didn't want to talk to him and if they did it was something negative...which he usually brought up heh.
Looking around the room, the Gryffindor was starting to get worried. First he couldn't find Beautiful Bentley AND NOW he couldn't find any of his old friends! Their Common Room was being overtaken by new people!! And oh, there was Cinna nearby, but she was talking to some person he didn't know. And there was Kevin just sitting around and wait a minute, KEVIN! Practically running towards his only available friend in the room, Zander smiled. "Guess what?!" No hellos or anything because he had some stuff that Kevin would probably enjoy. Yep.

He was still busy trying to get the rainbow goo off of him and brushing his hair back in model when he heard running footsteps coming from behind him. UUUUGH stop first years running around like little kids, couldn't they just sit down?! But it turned out that the footsteps weren't from the first years but from his only friend, Zander.
Guess what. He hated that. Why did he have to guess? Kevin rolled his eyes as he looked at the older Gryffindor. "What? you finally confessed your love to Bentley?" where was she anyways, he hadn't seen her during the feast as well...

At least he thought it was just to him. Grabbing a a mug of hot chocolate, he glanced around again as more and more lions appeared, finally spotting a couple of faces he knew. Well one he knew personally in the form of AJ. The other, the boy from Diagon Alley.
Oh and Miss Head Girl had reentered his line of sight.
The boy had occupied himself for a fellow new student and Alexa was chilling out and nodded in acknowledgement of him while AJ had made the approach, apparently just as unfamiliar with the rest of the room's occupants as he was. "Honestly...no. Well other than the professors. Alexa and a young boy I ran into over the summer." Everyone else was a relative stranger who was either new or Benny had just never met before.
The atmosphere was nice, and the party had clearly been thought out nicely. They even had muggle party accessories in the form of silly string and instructions to build a blanket fort. AJ didn't need to read up on that. She was a pro at that sort of thing. Why was she not her usual perky self? This was totally her thing. Under normal circumstances she would be getting chocolate wasted, and shooting everybody near her with the colorful junk. Of course she knew the answer to that. Adi. He was going to ask a girl out and their relationship would never be the same.
Benny confirmed that he didn't know many of the faces either. "Good. I thought it was just me." Where was Angel? AJ thought that she had been right behind her. "Want to build a fort or something?" she asked without any kind of emotion whatsoever. The second year just stood there all awkward like.
She saw Lex, Leo, and Zeke enter and they all got halfhearted smiles. She should be shooting them in the face with silly string, but it just didn;t sound as fun right now. AJ listened to everything that her new head of house had to say and nodded. She got it.

"Hey Sis, how are you?" Angel sighed. "That was a crazy feast." Angel sighed, seriously all she wanted to do was go to sleep and wake up back at home.
Angel suddenly realised Benny was near her, she blushed some, whilst giving him a small smile. "Ben, how are you?" Angel asked, still a bit worried he was mad at her for what had happened at the feast.
Benny was trying to think of what to do when AJ spoke up beside him with a suggestion, one of the ones mentioned by the professor. "Sure, I guess," he answered, figuring it was better to try to enjoy the rest of the evening after all the drama. His eyes glancing around, trying to narrow down the needed implements and their locations. The professors had certainly made sure to stock up stuff on hand. He moved away briefly to retrieve a couple of blankets for their fort before returning back.
It was then that Angel finally made an appearance, speaking first with her sister like she wasn't aware of his own presence. The reaction given after quite proof of that, including the blush. Unfortunately it seemed like they were back to Ben. "I'm good..." he said honestly since things had gotten better. At least appeared to at first. Was it him or were both girls still a little off.
"Why don't you join us making a blanket fort? We can all try and relax from everything."
Puck had been standing there (not awkwardly, of course) looking at the blanket and pillow fort instructions for quite sometime now. The fourth year didn't want to make a blanket fort or pillow fort alone - that would be a travesty wouldn't it? She was glad of course that Lux's boyfriend was in her house. Since Dimples seemed like a nice guy.
Before continuing - or starting even, she ran up to her dorm and changed into something comfortable. "Hey everybody!" She chriped excitedly as she made her way into the common room once more. She sent Phe and his hair a giant smile before trying to find a group to build with. Of course imaginary-food-boy got a grin as well...heck, everyone did.

"I wonder if the hot cocoa even feels the same way about you, because if it doesn't...that would be bad." Not that it would have a say or anything. Hah. Wait...he had a food mental breakdown? What was that? Oh..."maybe someone should supervise your eating or something. That doesn't sound too good." She smiled, clearly amused by him.
She was about to ask him whether or not he had transferred here, but before she could, rainbow silly string was sprayed at her and almost hit her hot cocoa. She laughed and turned around to see Professor Flamsteed and Professor Romanos going at it with the silly string. They must be having a silly string war or something. She was betting Professor Flamsteed was going to win against Professor Romanos, but that didn't have anything to do with how Isla was amazed of how good he looked or anything. Heh. "Professor Flamsteed, may I have a can of silly string please?" She asked with a big smile. He never said they could help themselves with that...so she wanted to be safe.
As the brunette was turning back around towards Chance, she noticed a guy (ArianaBlack) staring at Professor Romanos and she laughed. "Hey dude! You'll catch flies with your mouth open like that." She teased him. It was true...or other things. Who knows.
Isla wiped the remaining silly string off of her, struggling with one piece in her hair, but managing to finally get it out. "So how about you stay here, I go get into my awesome cat onesie, and we can build a sofa fort?" She asked, Chance. Without really hearing his answer, she hurried and finished her hot cocoa, and was up starting to walk to the girl's dormitories. She passed by the snack table where Ceo..., Phe and David was. She might as well say hi to him, right? "Hi, Ceo." She waved, blushing as she did. "Oh and hi, Phe and David. Great party, right? And by the way, I'm going to beat you guys at the silly string war. It's on." She gave an evil smirk, then ran up the stairs, changed into her amazing cat onesie and ran back down, taking a seat beside Chance once again. "Let's do this." She said, pulling out the paper with the instructions for the sofa fort.
The hot cocoa was halfway gone when Isla said that she was going to change. "But... my...." He started but she was off. He laughed. Of course his hot cocoa loved him just as much as he loved it. I mean, hot cocoa liked to be drunk... drank... sipped right? Right! If not, it would sit there. So Chance was doing it a favor by sipping it so lovingly!
Silly string, string in a can that Chance used to loooooveee playing with as a child, came streaming at him, and Chance's first instinct was to block his cocoa. SAVE THE COCOA!! This was his true love. He made eyes at the people that were spraying the silly string. "Beware! Once my hot cocoa's done... Its on!!!" Chance roared to the silly string war that was going on.
Sighing, he looked down at his hot cocoa and took two more large gulps, finishing it. He put the cup on the table, and shook his head. "Until next time!" he said with a laugh and ran to his dorm to change into his clothes. It didnt take him long and he was back out wearing some red and gold plaid pajama bottoms and a red t shirt. He even had the lion slippers to match.
He raced back to the couch and made it back before Isla made it back. He grabbed a can on silly string and as soon as she sat down, SQUIRRRTTTTTTTT Silly string was sprayed into her hair. "Got ya!!" he yelled and jumped up from the couch.
He saw the girl that was laughing at him and his food mental breakdown at the Feast and he narrowed his eyes at her, a grin playing on his lips. She had smiled at him. Not a bad smile, but for laughing at him at the Feast, it was on!
SQUIIIRTTTTTT!!
A big glob of silly string was sprayed at her and Chance's face lit up. "Aha!!! Got ya!!!" He said, with a wiggle of the eyebrows. "Bring it on!"

Hey was supposed to be a party right, now she really thought that she should get the party started
"ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Angel roared like she was an almighty lion, seriously she loved animals not as much as plants but still lions were cool.
"Three Lions on my shirt, the house cup still gleaming, 0 years of pain, never left me dreaming, three lion on my shirt, Gryffindor's are winning." Angel laughed as she made up the silly song, but hey it was a party and she wanted to join in with the craziness. "This is amazing Professor's you are all amazing. I'm so glad to be back." Angel really wished the term had started better though.
"Oh Ben that would be amazing, but I'm not very good at making forts." Angel giggled. "That last one I tried to make it actually caved in on me." Angel looked at her sister. "Isn't that right sis." Angel blushed, did her sister remember the fort her sister had tried to make in the bedroom and how everything caved in.
OKAY!! It seemed like it was pick on Bay day… what’s going on with these young kids. But this one didn’t seem as rude as the last.. ”I’ve only been here three years and this is my last” he told the child as tried to give him a smile… it was just very hard because the other boy had been totally crazy. Seeing the kid now he totally looked like he’s seen a ghost.. ohhhh Bay time to be nice…. I guess…
”so are you a first year?” he could totally be a first year or a transfer… but no way was he over third year.
Leonard could tell when a smile was faked, and that was definitely one of those times but he didn't really let it deter him. He was fine with fake smiles. Lots of siblings meant that fake smiles were probably more normal than actually getting real smiles. "Oh... well that makes sense... so wait... does that meant there are other magic schools?"
If there were he really still had a lot to learn... of course it would make sense... after all wizards wouldn't only exist in England...
Would they?
And he figured that question immediately made it obvious that he was a first year, and not just a first year but a muggle born, but still he smiled and shrugged. "Yup, another one of the many"
That was true... there seemed to be a lot of first years...
SPOILER!!: Zander

Didn't have time to welcome the new lions. Seeing the friendly smile on the boy's face, the older Gryffindor gave one of his own. As friendly and warm as a utterly confused fourteen yearold could be. Sort of.
Silly string? Of course coming from a muggle family Zander knew exactly what the stuff was. But having it at the common room? That was an entirely different story. "Yeah that's Flailsteed-- I mean, uh, Flamsteed for you," he said nodding towards the eccentric man. Wonder what Beautiful Bentley would say if she got sight of this Common Room... Maybe he could clean it for her later?! THEN SHE'D REALLY GIVE HIM A HUG!! "Oh uh yeah, makes sense... They did something like this last term too... Sort of," except he ended that night with his arm bitten into... But thankfully there was no Zahra Kettleburn around this place quite yet. MAYBE SHE QUIT HOGWARTS!! Ahem. Too hopeful?
Leo, that was easy enough. The Gryffindor nodded and smiled, "I'm Zander, third year," And then as if changing his mind he shook his head right away and "I mean fourth year... I'm a fourth year." Oops. Heh.
"Well it seems to be going surprisingly well given they don't know what they're doing" Leo offered, running a hand through his curly hair. He noticed the older boy stills seemed quite a bit confused by everything around him, and Leo figured that that was pretty normal given the circumstances.
"First year" Leo offered with a smile. "Still have absolutely no clue what's going on or what I'm meant to be doing but oh well"
At least there was tea. And marshmallows.
He liked tea and marshmallows...
And he was pretty sure currently they were all that he was capable of eating as he looked over the other snacks.
So it looked like Zander wasn't the only one caught by the surprise of this chaos. Sometimes after a good welcome feast people just go straight to bed. Because long train rides filled with a crying girl and an over stuffed belly, but of course not in Gryffindor house. They had to have a party. A party with rainbow gooey string everywhere. And evidently Professor Romanos. Why was she here again? But back to the point, Zander wasn't the only caught in the whole mess of things because when he heard a voice come from beside him he noticed some other kid. An older guy, so not a kid, but still he looked out of place too. "Yeaaah," he replied to the guy. Not an answer to his question, but Zander felt the same way okay.
Streamers and crazy string Everywhere! Loud voices and excited bodies and Jeremiah was a big bunch of nope right now. Sure the gathering was nice but could it happen tomorrow night? He was exhausted and just wanted to sleep. Hearing a voice he raised an eyebrow and looked to his left. "i am not all about this tonight." nope. He mumbled to himself so weather the stranger!kid heard him or not was not something the boy was concerned with. "bed." yup that's the direction he was going and if anyone was going to stop him..... well...... well then he'd do... something!
