| | Hufflepuff Common Room "It is round and earthy and low-ceilinged; it always feels sunny, and its circular windows have a view of rippling grass and dandelions. There is a lot of burnished copper about the place, and many plants, which either hang from the ceiling or sit on the windowsills. Our overstuffed sofas and chairs are upholstered in yellow and black, and our dormitories are reached through round doors in the walls of the common room. Copper lamps cast a warm light over our four-posters, all of which are covered in patchwork quilts, and copper bed warmers hang on the walls, should you have cold feet."-- as described by former Prefect Gabriel Truman. There is also a large, honey coloured, wooden mantelpiece with carvings of badgers on it. This is located underneath a portrait of the house's founder, Helga Hufflepuff.

The blush was sweet and she was happy for her friends. "That's wonderful! I only really see him during the holidays and Hogsmeade weekends, though we do use the mirrors." It wasn't the same but it was something; the mirrors reminded her a lot of muggle webcams. "You got that right. I can't wait for term to end so that I can go home." Just had to get through those icky exams first! The end was in sight. Dylan frowned. "Really? Because I seriously think you're great. And you don't need to be comparing yourself to others, I really think this is nice." He told her, gesturing to her notebook. "In fact, you should draw me something sometime." He added, beaming. He loved having people draw/paint things for him and hanging them on his wall back home. He just really loved art. "Well, I'm glad you get the chances to see him. That's good." The Puffer commented with a small nod. He then smiled. "Same here, I miss my family!" He sighed. It felt like forever since he'd been home...it was hard sometimes without them. Especially his brother, for when he needed advice with Bleu and OWLs and all that stuff.

Hufflepuffs were so sweet. But then almost everyone was at Hogwarts. "Thanks, that means a lot." She gave him a big smile and looked over some of her work. Maybe it was better than she had thought; Lux did tend to be hard on herself when it came to some things. She just couldn't help it. "I'm so excited for summer so I can see him more." It was going to be amazing. She was so happy already. Summer was the best time of year in her opinion. "I miss my family too. My sister's engagement party is coming up at the start of July. It's actually the same day as my anniversary." It was kind of funny how that happened, actually. "I want to see your family again over the holidays!" They were all so nice. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Leah Abbott Fifth Year | please don't let me be miunderstood Quote:
Originally Posted by Samia Noel felt the squeeze on his hand and offered her a gentle smile. It was weird; bonding over death. He leaned back, suddenly much more relaxed and heard her. "You don't seem so sure .." he commented on the name of her best friend. "Did something happen?" Was that too personal? It didn't feel like it.
Who would he miss most? Ah. That was a difficult one."I am not sure," he shrugged, "my family I think ... " he said finally, because who else did he have in the world? But it wasn't really about him missing anyone, was it? Because he would be dead. It was about WHO would miss him. "What about you?" Leah's cheeks reddened at his smile. Now she could see that Noel was actually a good friend. Why didn't she interact more with him previously when they didn't have anything to fear? But the fact that she had a friend who knew about the curse made her feel much more relaxed. It was better to go through hard time with somebody rather than alone. She turned to face him when he spoke. Was she being that obvious? "Well uh," she began. "We did have an argument earlier in the year. I said something to her that made her feel offended." No need to go into too much detail yep. "But I am planning to apologize and make it up since there is not much time."
His family. That was pretty sad. A friend would take a relatively short period of time to forget an individual, but a family member would never have a single moment not missing him. "Me too," she nodded. "I'm a single child, so my parents would be left alone without me." They were probably used to living just by themselves since that was what they did while she was at school. Leah did not have to worry about that bit.
This was getting depressing. People were already coming back from breakfast. Leah stood up and rubbed her eyes. "You wanna go get some food?" she said to Noel, holding out a hand. "We just have to make sure there are no trolls standing outside of the Common Room." she joked. Come on, you know you are hungry.

"I want to see your family again over the holidays!" They were all so nice. "Of course!" Dylan answered, smiling at his friend. Now that he thought about it, he himself hadn't drawn/painted anything in a while. He had been so caught up in school and such that he hadn't had much time to do it... well, he'd have more time in the summer at least.
And just when he had been thinking of summer, Lux brought it up, and Dylan smiled again. "I can bet!" The fifth year said. He then raised an eyebrow. "Engagement party, eh? That should be fun." He commented with a small nod. Engagements. Hmm. He wondered if his own brother Alex had proposed to his girlfriend yet...they had been dating for a long time now after all. The thought was weird, though. His brother being married. He turned his attention back to Lux as she said she wanted to see his family. "You can come over anytime we're not camping," He told her. His family simply loved Lux and had told Dylan they'd love to have her over again, especially his little sister who adored Lux.
