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. In order to gain entrance to your home away from home, Lions must know the password and speak it to her - assuming she isn't forcing you to listen to her sing of key that is.
This term's password is 'Aurea Orrery'.
Be sure to remember those words. Keep them secret, keep them safe. Without them the Fat Lady won't swing away from the hole and allow you to enter Gryffindor Tower and you'll be stuck picking your nose while waiting for a housemate to let you in. Once you're lucky enough to scramble through, you'll find yourself in the central common room (a perfectly circular area full of squashy armchairs, fluffy beanbag chairs, and tables, now referred to as the 'Lions' Den'. The large circular space has two adjacent rooms, the reading room and the game lounge, equipped with the resources and materials required to complete any homework assignments and distract oneself from doing any homework at all. Fixed to the wall by the windows you will find the pasteboard for classes and other school announcements.
The windows, wedged between falling tapestries and portraits of Heads of House past, look out onto the grounds of the school, and a large fireplace takes up a large section of the wall near the entrance to the common room. 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 above the reading room, while girls' dormitories are upstairs and to the left above the game lounge. 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 making sure you stay out of trouble...or ready to join in on whatever mischief you may be up to. This is Hogwarts after all. Anything can happen!

Potions homework #1 (and feel free to pet her? XD)
BOOMBAYAH! | #PuedoPorquePiensoQuePuedo | Certified Blank and Random Person | Raventastic
Ava just went back from the Potions classroom to take a vial of her own potions. She already added some cat fur into it. Okay, this was the moment of truth. Was her potion gonna work or not, she didn't know. But yeah, she's slightly nervous.
Ready? One, two, three....
The brunette girl closed her eyes and gulped the potions quickly. Ugghhh... Merlin, the taste was sooooo GROSS!!! Cough cough...
But then suddenly she noticed that her hands were covered by fur, and so were her legs, and all of the parts of her body were covered by the fur. And then she felt like she was shrunken, her hands were into paws and she had claws! EEEEEP!! Was she successfully transfigured into a cat? She looked at the mirror. She's a cat now. It seemed lik her potions worked pretty good, right? Let's see how long she could stay as a cat.
Time to walk around the castle as a cat!Ava.

Yoongi kept looking at the potions vial in his hand. His potion had been a disaster and he knew it. It had been quite embarrassing when he had to get a vial the Professor had made but it just was like that. He tucked the vial back in his jacket pocket and took out a small package. It was the magic fire that Professor Dakest had given him. He threw one in the common room fireplace and watched as the fire turned blue. He liked these little muggle magic stuff. He threw in a second and the blue fire was mixed with purple fire.
As he leaned back in the armchair, the Gryffindor took out the potions vial again and eyed it. Deep in thought, whether or not if he should do the assignment, he finally came to the conclusion that he would. He was a Gryffindor! And from what he had heard and seen was that they never back down from a challenge.
Now that he was feeling confident, Yoongi quickly opened the vial and added the sheep wool to the potion. He had picked a sheep because then he would be even more adorable than normal. He drank the vial in one gulp, made a disgusted face and placed the vial on the table in front of the still blue/purple fire.
Was it working? He didn’t have a mirror with him… the sixth year looked down at his body and realised that his feet, legs, torso, everything, had gone. Instead, he saw big poofy wool and he couldn’t even see his legs.
Now to explore the castle as a cute sheep~!
…………………….how was he going to get through the portrait hole? O___o
With a nice dry, squeaky clean, sweet-smelling sweater bundled in her arms, Nimma appears in the center of the Gryffindor common room, her eyes big as she looks around at the studentsies there. Nimma THINKS she knows which one Master Zeke Browne is, but Nimma looks at the studentsies present and doesn't THINK she sees him! Oh, noes. What's an elf to do?
"Master Zeke Browne? Nimma has broughts Master Zeke Browne a clean sweater!" Would someone help Nimma find him? She NEEDED to get the Master his laundry, just like the Space Master said! It was her DUTY, she had been TOLD to do so! She couldn't leave until she got her delivery safely to its owner!

Zeke had been quite at his leisure, laying face down in the couch by the fire, one arm dangling to the floor, the other was lazily searching between the cushions for anything of worth. All the while he was floating between a state of consciousness and unconsciousness. Sleep was a thing he would need.
The POPPING sound which could have signalled any number of things did little to alarm him, instead it was the voice calling his name that had him lifting his face from the plush warmth of the couch.
"Huh?...."
Sweater?
Pushing himself up from the couch with both arms, Zeke peered over the back of it to see the supposed sweater he was about to receive. It was a school one, and one he didn't think he'd be seeing again. Truthfully, he wasn't sure he wanted to see it again.
"Over here... thank you, I guess," he murmured, moving into a sitting position.

With her very fluffy white cat, Bella, bundled in her arms Olympia made her way carefully to a cluster of spare arm chairs towards one side of the common room. It was nice and warm as always and Olympia wondered if she had really made the right choice of outfit. Her pale pink jumper that came off one of her shoulders wasn't too thick, but the heat of the common room was still stifling.
Plonking Bella down onto her knee, Olympia gazed round the common room. Well.. what now? The third year was at a bit of a loss at what to do and quite frankly.. she was BORED.

Coming back from the grounds after his potions assignment, the back to human and not sheep Yoongi told the Fat Lady the password, had to hear her sing for three songs and was finally let in. As he walked through the common room he noticed that the arm chair he had used an hour ago was being occupied by a girl. Not that mattered of course but his bag was still beside the chair. "Hi" he greeted with a smile and even said a "Hi" to the cat on her lap ,grabbed his bag from the ground. He hoisted it over his shoulder and walked to another chair, sat down and opened up his bag.
There were still some packages of magic fire left. He dragged his chair closer to the fireplace and threw in a package. Immediately, the fire turned a bright pink color and he "oooh~" at it and clapped his hands. He was easily amused.

Olympia looked up just in time to see the older Gryffindor boy pick his bag up and sit down in front of the fire. "Hello.." She said, "Oh, sorry.. Have I taken your seat?!" She hadn't even spotted his bag when she had sat down.
Watching him clapping at the now suddenly bright pink fire, Olympia smiled and leant forward, her eyes wide. "How'd you do that?!" She exclaimed; the third year couldn't take her eyes off the dancing flames in their new pretty colour. So pretty aaand PINK!!!
Bella mewed indignantly at Olympia's leaning forward. "Sorry.. Olympia muttered, brushing her hair out of her face as she leant back again, eyes still on the fire. Amaaaazing.

"It's not really my seat" he laughed. This kid was funny. "No i just left my bag there earlier cause i changed in to a sheep and a sheep with a bag would look weird" It had been the potions assignment of course but the Gryffindor laughed again. "That sounded weird ...but true" he HAD been a sheep an hour ago. Funny how eventful Hogwarts was.
The exclaimed question made him grin. He had been hoping someone would notice the fire changing color. Now he got why Professor Dakest had been so happy that he had found the packages at his seating area. "Magic" he answered vaguely as he turned to the girl. "Muggle magic to be exact" he grabbed another package and gave it to her. "Here, you just throw it in the fire and the color changes, Professor Dakest gave them to me" so that he could be cool in the common room.

"Oh, okay.." It took her a minute before what the boy had said registered. "You were a sheep?!" Olympia tore her eyes away from the fire and looked at him, giggling. "How come you're back to normal now?" She would quite have liked to see him as a sheep.
"Muggle magic?" She queried, taking the package being passed to her. "How?" Her eyes narrowed in suspicion. Was he joking? Olympia tore open the packet, glanced at the older Gryffindor, and threw the contents into the fire. Immediately she let out a squeal of delight as the pink flames instantly turned a bright shade of yellow. With an indignant chirrup, Bella jumped from Olympia's knee and wandered off. Olympia glanced quickly after her cat but her attention was quickly averted back to the newly coloured flames. This was brilliant!! "What else can you do??" She said, bouncing slightly in her seat. This boy was her new source of entertainment. Olympia clapped her hands together in delight as he had done when he turned the fire pink.

Oh! Master Zeke Browne! He WAS here, Nimma didn't even seen him!
"Master Zeke Browne!" Nimma squeaked, bouncing on her little elf feet with glee as the nice young man beckoned her over before scurrying around to the front of the couch to reach him. "Nimma cleans your sweater up nice and good, yep yep, just like the Professor of Stars says! Just like new! Nimma even added extra stuffs to makes it smell extra good for Master Zeke Browne, yes she did!"
Gently extending the sweater out for him to take, Nimma smiiiiles and bows her head, thinking it impolite to make such close eye contact with the Master.

Yoongi looked at the girl in surprise. She didn't know about the potions assignment? had she been sick during the lesson or? "I was..." he said slowly and continued to stare at her. "Your name is Olivia right?" he asked out of the blue before he got back to the real subject. "The potion stopped working after an hour" he sighed and looked away from her and to the pink fire. "Shame though, i was so cute as a sheep!"
Yoongi couldn't help but smile as the younger Gryffindor took the magic fire packages and threw it in the fire. He watched as the fire turned a bright yellow color and clapped his hands. "so pretty right?" and how? The Gryffindor thought back at what the defence professor had told him. "It has something to do with ..kemacals (chemicals) or something...can't remember but theres this kemacal stuff in these packages and when it comes in contact with fire it changes in to a color"
What else could he do??? ..........eeeeh..... Yoongi stared at the fire and scratched the back of his head. "I don't know ...wait let me try something" he grabbed his wand and pointed it in the air and mumbled a spell. Instantly, there were purple firecrackers in the air, exploding around them. "COOL RI----" His eyes widened when he noticed that one of the firecrackers hadn't reached the air and had exploded on the carpet.

He liked the house elves, he liked the house elves a lot. It wasn't even JUST because they were so handy and useful and helpful... but they were also kinda cute and sweet, not that he'd say so out loud, cause, yeah. But Nimma was a good elf.
"Professor Flamsteed asked you to do this?" he asked, wondering why the man hadn't simply thought to burn it, or leave it in the dungeons to serve as a grim reminder to him, or a warning to those who would surely follow... that livelihoods have been lost down there. He didn't really want the sweater back, but, Nimma was difficult to refuse.
"Thank you," he repeated as he accepted the now very clean looking and soft item. He sniffed it, to check if he could detect any trace of swamp water. He couldn't. "You weren't kidding," he commented, brows raised with mild surprise. "It smells better than brand new." He supposed he couldn't get rid of it now. The sweater would live to see another day.

Having witnessed both of Jet and Rooney’s transformations, Marsha had stopped at the Potions lab on her way back to the Common room. She had finally decided on being a cat… well, she was hopeful for a kitten - but she figured any form of cat was good really… Hehe. Maybe there would even be someone in the common room that she could bug for pets and tickles jussst so she knew why Duchess liked them so much. Oh gosh!
MAYBE Zander would be there and she could curl up on his lap just to see what that was like too… Laughing a little at the possibilities an hour could grant her, she had given this weeks password to the Fat Lady, ran up to her dorm to get the instructions for her potions homework and then she went back to the Common room.
Looking around the room, she laughed and moved to the sofa. Cats loved the sofa, especially when the fire was on and people had already warmed up the sofa for them; sneaky things, always jumping into your grave as quickly as you rolled over. Still giggling, she sat cross legged on the sofa happily as she swirled her kittencat!potion.

CARPET ON FIRE ! [/QUOTE]
Hm, he was a starer. She frowned. "Olympia.." Olympia corrected him quickly. It wasn't a common name, yet that wasn't the first time someone had thought she was called Olivia. SIGH. "Oh, an hour isn't very long!" But she laughed at his comment on his cuteness as a sheep. "Why did you pick a sheep?" He didn't look like a sheep kind of guy, more like a.. Flamingo or peacock. Maybe.
The third year beamed at Yoongi as he joined in with the clapping. "So pretty!" Olympia agreed. However, she had no clue at all what these 'kemical" things he spoke of were. Much too complicated for her liking.
Olympia's eyes lit up at the firecrackers suddenly appearing around them. They were brilliant!! She laughed as they spiralled and cartwheeled in the air and almost didn't notice the bit of the carpet that had gone up in flames.
Half squealing half laughing, the younger Gryffindor leapt to her feet and clambered up onto her chair. "What do we do?!" She looked at the older Gryffindor, but she wasn't too sure he was up to putting out HUGE MASSIVE FIRES!!!
She just hoped the house elves/ Professor Flamsteed, gulp, wouldn't mind the hole in the carpet....

One kitten!Sha coming up soon. Teeehee.
This homework. Like...just...
He didn't know why he was so hesitant on doing it. The chance of becoming an animal was COOL! It was one of his dreams to experience it! Especially one that gave him wings and stuff, but then thoughts happened on getting stuck in very high places so... he'd picked up something a little more suited to staying on the ground. Except, now it was just sitting in his pocket unused.
Because this homework was just... What if they got stuck as the animal?
Dragging himself down to the common room, an old chess set in hand, he brightened a little upon seeing Marsha. HA. Maybe he could get her to start playing chess with him and totally wasn't procrastinate on doing homework what.
"Hey, Marsha!" he beamed, plopping down on the couch next to her. "Whatcha doing?"

Turning the bottle over and over in her hand, she looked up as she heard her name. It pulled her from her thoughts of where she wanted to take the potion. Now that she was here, she wasn’t sure it was the right place… would she be able to get out of the common room? Likely not… was that a good thing or a bad thing? Hmmm..
Grinning though, she beamed at Lance. ”Hey Lance. I’m just trying to figure out where to take my potion… I was going to do it here but I don’t know if I want to explore outside this room when I change… and I don’t want to regret it later.”
Urgh. Urgh. Urgh. Decisions.
”Have you done yours yet? She hoped he hadn’t… maybe they could do them together? Unless… he was going to turn into something that liked to chase and attempt to kill cats… then it was a no-go… but she liked to think she knew Lance better than that… He was too nice and gentle a heart for that. His animal wouldn’t be a hunter.

Oh.
He kinda forced to keep his beam up, though it lessened slightly at the mention of the homework he was working so hard on trying to avoid. Well, it wasn't like she knew he didn't do it yet, right? And she wasn't a professor, so he wouldn't get into trouble for not doing it. Per say. And he certainly wasn't feeling guilty for not doing it........ per say.
Fiddling with the edge of his chessboard, he nodded a little, glancing around as if trying to find a good place for his friend to take the potion because...distractions. EXCEPT SHE ASKED THAT. SLSKFJA! "NOPE," he blurted out in a squeak before regaining himself. "I-I mean, no, I haven't."

Holy snaps she knew. Ehhhh.
Fidgeting. Lance was totally fake smiling and fidgeting. He was avoiding homework again. Tilting her head to the side a little she watched him looking around the room… He was trying to get her to forgetttt but she couldn’t - not when it meant he could get into trouble…. She would help him. Yup.
”Wellll, why don’t we do it together… Then we can write the paragraph about it after and it’ll be all done… then we can look into learning some more about Chess?” That was fair right? And tooootaalllly got her off the hook. Hehehe.
”Come on… play with me Lance… Which animal did you decide on… Or do you want to surprise me?” Giggling, Sha swiveled around to look at her best friend. Come on friend. Don’t let a girl down. The potion was in her hand and she was READY. Say the word, and it would be swallowed and while likely vile - would lead to fun and adventure!

The whining in his head was even annoying him, though he couldn't very well do it out loud. It never really worked on Marsha. Unfortunately. But, she did make an appealing deal. Homework and then chess?
Biting the inside of his cheek, he stared at the chessboard for a split moment before making up his mind putting it down on the ground. Might as well get it over and done with. "Fine," he said, taking the potion out of his pocket, eyeing the potion the redhead had. "Which one did you decide on?"

AND DID IT HURT WHEN ONE TOOK IT?
She TRIED to hide the smirk as he agreed to do the homework, honestly she did. She coughed and looked towards the fire and over his shoulder out the window but really it didn’t work ‘cause there was a BIG OLE SMIRK slapped right across her lips. Hehehehe. Marsha Cerys Hanover was awesome, and the Professors should thank her for the amount of homework she actually managed to make the blond haired boy do. Hopefully, blackmail would be less needed in the future… but somehow she doubted that would be the case. Teenagers y’know?
”I decided on a cat… though I’m hoping its kitten fur and not old cat fur… ‘cause I have so much energy as ME that I want to see what I would be like as a kitten.” That made sense, right? Hehehe - OH. Look, he even had his potion on him. Wasn’t that clever of him. ”What about you?” She pressed again.
”Ready? Want to go on three? Together?” She waited for the hesitant, pouty agreement that she was preeeeettttyyyy sure would come and then counted down. ”Three… Two… One…” Go!

Having completely missed the smirk, because he was waaaaaaaay too relieved that she too grabbed the cat potion, Lance took a deep breath and settled back on the couch. The worry that this potion was going to hurt hadn't left his mind so, might as well get as comfy as possible?
No wait. She asked about his potion-
NO WAIT. THEY WERE STARTING?
"I, erm..." Holy dragon gummy fangs, this was going quick. Of course, there was a pout, along with a look of confusion and anxiety. They were startiiiiing. Did he grab the correct potion?! Like, what if he turned into a lizard instead?! Even though that would be cool, he kinda already set up his mindset for a cat form. Gosh fiddlesticks. His fingers fumbled to take the clasp off the top of the small bottle. Merlin, they were already on TWO. AND. AND. ONE-
He swallowed the contents, ignoring the taste because in a sudden...

Fur. Just... so much fur.
Honestly. She knew it had been mean - but if she had given him MORE time to think about it he would worry even more. Besides, Professor Culloden had approved their potions so what could go wrong? They had to wait for a few days while a reversal potion as a cat.. or - darn, she hadn’t let him answer her question - and miss classes and sleep and eat and LAAAZE.
Yeah, Sha wasn’t seeing the problem.
Okay, she’d downed the potion… so now what?
…. HEY! When did the sofa get so bi- OOOOHHHHH.
GIGGLE! She was sitting on the sofa, in a weird position for a cat. Going to move her legs to get comfortable, she flopped over onto her side. OFFT. Mentally pouting, she frowned as she shook her head a little and then tried to move again. Silly kitten legs didn’t move like her human legs did… Though at least the sofa was comfy to land on!
OH! LANCE!!!
Looking across at where he was sitting, she ”Mreeeow!”-ed at him. He had gone for a cat too! And he was small and ittyyy and white and cream and gosh he was a pretty kitty!
Right… Lets try this again, wiggling her kitten!bum, she shuffled around trying to get up onto all four paws.

The young Gryffindor's eyes squeezed shut just after he swallowed the potion, just imagining the PAIN and AGONY he'd be going through, though really, it was just in his head. It felt weird, sure, but nothing awful... which his mind completely ignored and told him that this was the worst thing to ever happen to him.
Hearing a meow very nearby, he blinked open his eyes-
HOLY... BIG CAT. "MREEEEEEOW!" the little Lance kitten screeched and JUMPED, FLAILING around and losing all footing until he fell off the couch.

PLOOP.
Hoooooly cat face.
If a cat could have WIDE EYES and look SHOCKED… then kitten!Marsha looked exactly like that as her best friend looked at her, freaked out with a large mreeeeow and then proceeded to FALL off of the sofa…. If she was a human right now she’d laugh - but as it was… Lance was a tiny kitten and they were HIGH.
Come on legs, work for me. Shuffling, she made it closer to the edge of the sofa until her - HEY SHE HAD WHITE PAWS! How cute was that, dipping her head to look at her belly and her back feet she internally squeed at the patch of white fur on her chest with one white and one black back foot…. and the rest of her was BLACK! How cool was that? She had black hair without having to ruin it and dye it. Hehehehehe.
OH! Right. Lance.
Edging that last bit to the edge, she put her paws on the edge of the sofa then stuck her TAIL into the air to counter-balance her as she peeked over the edge at kitten!Lance. ”Mreeeeooowwwww?” She asked, head tilting slightly as she watched him.
Was he okay? Could he move his tail and his paws and his head? LOOK AT HOW CUTE HE WASSSS.
Gosh, why hadn’t she thought to get one of the older kids to take a picture of them as kittens? This would have been something to tell Alis and her little baby brother about at Christmas.
