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!

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.
Wriggling around, he finally got to his stomach and looked EVERYWHERE. This was disorienting to say the least. Everything was BIG. The little heart in his chest couldn't beat any faster than it was. All that preparation from before, WASTED.
Hearing the meow again, kitten!Lance hobbled to his feet and stumbled around just to look behind him, right at the foot of the giant couch. That giant cat he saw, WHERE WAS IT? Though now that he had a moment to himself, the realization that HE was now a cat was...
Jumping jellyfish.
Peering down at his PAWS, omghehadpaws, his little fury white legs wiggled unsteadily as he finally managed to stay on all four legs. He had paaaaaws. AND whisker things. He could feel them, which was...weird. And a TAIL! He flicked that, whether out of instinct or what, it didn't matter. He felt it. It was theeeere! Turning his head that made it seem like he had no bones in his neck (that all cats seem to be able to do) to look at the tail, he fell to the side, rolling onto his back.
WAIT. There was that giant cat he saw earlier! The black one, with the white!

"Mew?"
As she perched on her THRONE, ‘cause she was sooooo big all the way up here, she watched him on his stomach and then he got up onto his feet. Whhoooop! Go Lance…
Though, she was perching - she wasn’t sure how she would do moving… She should probably try that but the floor seemed SO far away… It was FAR WAY WAY WAAAY down there…. though, kitten!Lance had been fine so maybe she would be too?
She had been so lost in her thoughts though that the meww sound pulled her back to the potions homework and kittenness! and saw Lance looking up at her…
Was it just her, or was he a prime target? Hehehe. Wiggling her tail and bum in time (HOW COOOOOL WAS THAT??!?!?) she took aim and then moved her hands paws down the front of the sofa - HOLY GRIFFEN!!! She had claws too! Woahhh, they were handy… EHHEHEHE. HANDy. Human!Marsha groaned, but kitten!Marsha found the pun hilarious.
Letting out some kind of ”meooow” like sound as she suddenly found she couldn’t stretch down the sofa any further and just HAD to take a leap of faith, she landed just to the side of kitten!Lance. Though she didn’t have any time to celebrate as her legs collapsed under her and she fell once more onto her side, landing partially ON kitten!Lance. Mreow. Complain. Complain.
”Mreewwwwwoh.” She said to him, in apology - obviously - as she tried to figure out she could remind him that she was… well HER. Slowly she lent her head closer to his before rubbing their cheeks together. See, friend. Blinking, she looked at him and cocked her head to the side… Just like she did when she was trying to figure out how to make help him do his homework.

Surely, being on the ground, he was safe, almost instantaneously forgetting that he too was a cat. And ignoring the fact that the two of them were practically the same size, it looked GINORMOUS. Good gosh!
No. Cat. Don't you dare jump. No. No. No-
He stiffened as the black and white kitten flopped next to him. NEXT. SO CLOSE. NEXT TO HIM. AND good Merlin it touched him. So soft. IT BURNED. No it didn't, but the moment the kitten rubbed it's cheek on his, kitten!Lance JUMPED up and twisted around, practically on the tippy toes of his paws. His fail fluffed up as the fur on his back rose.
No, body. What are you doing. Stop this sideways-ness!

"MREOW!"
Just. Ugh. Stop, calm down. WHAT. CHILL.
Flop.
Kitten!Lance was so soffffttttt. She hadn’t been sure if fur would feel as soft through her own fur - but it really had! Even softer maybe than it felt when she stroked Duchess. Huh. Inter-
………..
No. Wait.
Mentally frowning, kitten!marsha stumbled backwards before falling over her tail with a painful yelp and collapsing in a heap on her back. As she struggled to roll onto her side, she eyed him more. Duchess only fluffed up and tried to look as big as possible if she was scared… why was Lance scared of HER? Could he really not remember that SHE was the kitten.
However, she wasn’t going near him until he calmed down so she looked around. Ohhh ball! Moving to it, she grinned as she realised it was one of the balls they had been using to practise with in charms and she moved up onto her back legs so that she could play with it. Or. At least. She attempted to.
As she moved up onto her back legs, they gave way under her and she fell forward, only just managing to put her front legs down in time to catch herself. Slowly, ever so slowly she raised herself up again, on very very shaky legs she managed to pat and tap at the ball, her tail swinging from side to side to try and balance herself out as she played.
Hehehee. Seeee, the transfiguration balls were fun and helpful… Though they were REALLY big in comparison to her kitten!form… not that that was hard - everything was big. Really BIG.
Glancing back, she saw her tail wagging (she had a white tail tip too - in case you were wondering) and saw Lance. Had he chilled out yet? Did he remember chess w-
CHESS.
Forgetting the ball, and with a sudden burst of energy she bounded over to where the old chessboard was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa… exactly where he had placed it ten or so - fifteen, five, thirty? - minutes before. She moved slowly and then placed her pace on the spot where the Queen would start.

His best female friend. The Queen. Her. Yes?
Twisting around so he was on his stomach again, he looked straight back towards where the black and white cat was, watching it's every movement. He'd never seen this one in the common room before. Then again, he didn't spend much time here, much preferring to be outside.
Speaking of fun, the ball the cat was playing with looked... fun.
Could he do that too?
What he wasn't expecting was the cat to go NEAR HIS CHESSBOARD NO. Flinging into the air, he hopped sideways towards the cat, unable to really control doing that BUT HE NEEDED TO DO IT. The young Gryffindor stopped on the other side of the chessboard, tail flicking randomly and all ready to POUNCE in case the cat felt like scratching his precious hand-me-down game. Though the cat's paw wasn't scratching. It was just sitting there. ON HIS GAME SET.
On the Queen position to be exact. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. That was Marsha's spot. TAKE IT OF-
...
Kitten!Lance dropped onto his belly, ears back, and eyes wide and apologetic.

Oh.
As she had thought, the fluffiness of his tail hadn’t gone down when she had gone near his chess set - but it had gotten his attention… Enough that he had leapt into action. Huh, sideways jumps were curious… Silently, she wondered if she could try doing one without being angry or upset… They looked fun… if a little funny.
She’d try it if she couldn’t get Lance to recognise her - and even if she did… she might do it just to test it - they looked bouncy and bouncy was normally fun. Hehehe.
Though, as she looked up again, Lance had one of his own paws on HIS side of the board. … Did that mean he realised SHE was HER and not some random first year’s over hyper kitten that wanted to play?
No… Still getting loo-.
Ah, there we go. She watched him fall to the floor, all but rubbing his nose in the carpet. She moved slowly to him, before lowering to the ground and “army crawling” forward to him like she had seen Duchess do before. Actually, it was much easier doing this as a cat - no carpet burn.
When she got close enough, she leant in to him and rubbed her check against his again. It was okay, she was just glad her bestie knew who she was NOW so they still had time to play. Nudging his face with her softly, she got back up and tried that pounce!jump style thing back to the ball.

Then she nudged it over to him with her head.
AKA. Play with me?
Watching his friend, that was also a kitten WHICH WAS WEIRD, crawl towards him, his ears perked up. It certainly wasn't his fault that he forgot they both were doing this potions task, or about the task in general. This was just, weird.
Cheek rubs were cool though.
Also, that ball from earlier? Muuuuch bigger now. And the pouncing? As the ball came to a stop near his paws, he stared at it for a moment before jumping up. POKE. He touched it. BOOM, it moved, holy snaps he couldn't control his legs yet. But there was just, sooo much energy in this tiny body, he had to moooooove.
Reaching out to swat at the ball and completely missing ninety percent of the time, he ended up stumbling!jumping over it and running towards the couch, ready to fling himself on top of it. He HAD to see the common room from a higher perspective, except he miscalculated the distance and ended up hanging off the side like Mufasa's final moment.

Oh, he had claws. Niiiiice.
Marsha couldn’t help the happiness she felt as she watched kitten!Lance’s ears perk up a little bit. Thereeee we go. Hehe. She padded - WOAH THEY FELT SO COMFY AND PADDED AND SOFT AND BETTER THAN SHOES! - her feet softly cloooooking into the carpet to see what it felt like as she had seen Duchess do it many a time. Clawing and unclawing the carpet, she stretched her kitten!legs… uh human!arms… they aren’t arms if you need all four to walk… right? so front kitten!legs. Right.
Purring as Lance rubbed her cheek back, she smiled. Woaaahhh, that was like a vibration in her throat. Hehe, it made her all tingly and happpy. No wonder light purring became stronger when you tickled Duchess’ tummy. ”Pppuuuuurrrrrrr” She tried again just to see what it felt like and if she had been Lion!Sha, she’d have giggled - but she wasn’t, so she let out another happy purr instead. That sound and feeling was so funny… and amazing. Like giggling! It was goooood for the soul.
Look at kitten!Lance go. Pouncing and playing and making allll the shapes. Hehehe. She stalked forward and went to stalk and jump on his kitten!body, she flailed and missed - falling to the floor with an unsightly and gangly rollllll. She rolled over until she landed on her stomach, head in the air and paws stretched elegantly out in front and behind her. Yeah, that was meant to happen. SEE! Her tail was flicking about happily to prove it.
……… Though what was tabby ginger kitten doing?
Tilting her heads upwards to look at the HUGE mountain of a sofa, kitten!Marsha looked upwards to see why kitten!Lance was hanging off of the sofa. ”Meeew?” She wondered, trying to see if he was okay… Though on that thought… How did Kittens just SO high when they were SO little. Maybe kitten!Lance had a point...
Scrambling to her kitten paws, she wiggled her bum, tail flicking as she crouched down close to the ground. EYES ON THE PRIZE! And the prize was the sofa. Back where she started - BUT it was alllll in research. Hehehe. Wiggling more, she counted down from three and then POUNCED.
…….
And failed.
Her take off went wonky and she ended up going sideways, bumping into kitten!Lance. She pushed him off the sofa, rolling with him onto the ground. Whoops.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

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....
Olympia. Riiiight. He should probably remember that. He was about to say that she shouldn’t take It personally , that he forgot names often but decided against it. “Sorry, I thought your name was Olivia”
“Yeah, well, I had a potion that Professor Culloden made cause I messed up my own in class” he laughed out loud though it was a bitter laugh. He wished he was as good in potions as in charms but he wasn’t and after sixth years he kind of accepted it. He was horrible at it. Fact. And then she asked why he picked a sheep and he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Was she serious? “Because my face and personality is as cute as a sheep of course! Why else?” seriously , why else? Sheep , out of that list, was the most adorable and it fit him if he had to say so himself. “Did you know that sheep can’t see in front of them? Really weird!”
Yoongi smiled as the third year was enjoying the purple fireworks around them . The smile had vanished instantly when the next second Olympia jumped on the chair as the carpet they had been sitting on caught fire. What what WHAAAT?! “WATER! WE NEED WATER!” He looked around. “WHY ISN’T THERE ANY WATER—OH!”
He laughed , wondering how come he had not thought of using a water spell in the first place. Wand still in hand, Yoongi pointed it at the carpet and shouted “Aguamenti!” A strong jet of water streamed out of the wand and he put out the fire. “uhm…” there was a big hole in the carpet. “Quick! Put the armchair on this spot!” before anyone would notice it.

With his tiny white paw feet dangling below him, he wiggled a little and managed to get his back claws into the couch as well. Welp, now he new just how strong cats were. He could practically hang here foreeeeever. Or was that just his strength? His outside adventures involved a lot of climbing...
Having a bit of trouble unhooking his claws from the couch though, he finally got them out with a tearing 'POP' and reached up higher to pull himself up, except TUMBLING TO THE FLOOR WAS HAPPENING NUUUUU!
FLUB.
At least falling to the ground didn't hurt as bad as he thought it would? Maybe he was just fat, even though he didn't feel like it. Swatting lightly at Marsha!Kitten next to him, since she did just make them fall and all, he hopped over her and ran back at the couch, flinging himself at the side. He had a much better time at clawing his way onto the seat than before.
Aw yeessssss, king of the couch. HERE HIM ROOOOOOOOAR!

"MEW!"
Rolling on to her stomach, Sha once again silently giggled at the thought that SHE was a kitten. Though, she didn’t like the fact that she couldn’t laugh. Sigh!huffing, she turned around as she saw her tail. TAIL! WHEEEEee. She turned in circles, trying to chase her tail as it JUST eluded her.
OH MAN THAT WAS ANNOYING. BUT She wasn’t a dog - so she stopped turning and gave up, looking for something else to play with.
OH! There was something shiny!
Pounce!jumping in front of the fire, she pounced on the light reflection on the floor and tapped her paw on it. Oh man, that didn’t catch it! Moving her other front paw in front of her she tried to catch it with both paws.
… Which didn’t work either.
NOT FAIR. Leaning back on her hunches, she pounced forward into a running jump at the sofa, clinging then clawing her way up to finally join kitten!Lance on the sofa.
There was one last thing she wanted to do, and that was curl up and take a CAT!NAP!

OH MAN THAT WAS ANNOYING. BUT She wasn’t a dog - so she stopped turning and gave up, looking for something else to play with.
OH! There was something shiny!

Climbing onto the very top of the Gryffindor couch, he peered around, looking out for whoever was still in the common room and other possibly places he could go explore from this new point of view. The clawing of the couch from behind him made his ears twitch into the general direction, but he had a good idea of who was causing that now. No need to flip out. Besides, all the climbing and pouncing and just the general transformation altogether along with the warmth of the common room and smell of home which was a little different in cat form for some reason...
A lot of... new smells? Or were they just stronger?
His nose was suddenly closer to the couch, sniffing it. Smelled like people. Too much lotion or perfume and robes and books maybe. Adventures may have to wait until he was human again. He would be quite content with just sitting there observing for the remainder of their time.

He had been putting his homework off until the very last minute. Usually this indicated a reluctance to participate in an educational activity that would no doubt benefit him but actually that wasn't it. It wasn't that he DIDN'T want to do his potions homework and thought it would be such a drag but rather than he wanted to savour the moment. Just think about it. Doing his homework earlier meant it was over and done with from the start of the week and he would be left reminiscing about how fantastic it probably was but if he SAVED it til the end of the week like he'd done then the week would be spent anticipating it and at long last he could reward himself for the wait.
That was what he was doing now, rewarding himself for the wait so the boy bounded eagerly into the Common Room after a quick stop down in the Dungeons that was long overdue. It was really hard choosing an animal he wanted to be because they each could have made him done wonderful things but in the end he chose to be a cat.
Why? Because they were small and agile and there were tons of things he could get into. Sure the Professor said he wouldn't already have the skills of a cat but who cared? He was a fast enough learner when it didn't come to casting spells.
Blaise threw himself into one of the couches in the Common Room, plopping his bag down next to him along with his books. His trusty quick quotes quill and notepad were naturally there, ready to record the entire thing. Best part was that this was a potion brewed by the Professor so it would have lasted longer than anything HE could have done. Well, bottoms up. The young Gryffindor took a big gulp of the potion, making a face when he realized it didn't quite taste like anything edible but it didn't bother him for too long because suddenly he was being taken over by FUR and found his frame shrinking and shrinking. He wasn't alarmed by the changes suddenly taking place, because he knew they would happen; he was more fascinated at the whole thing.

Moving around the sofa, kitten!Sha decided where to sit… She was almost trying to find somewhere that wasn’t too lumpy or hard, cold or … well warm would be nice actually. She padded and noted kitten!Lance sniffing at the fabric, and her ears twitched curiously as she did that too. Urgh. Perfume. The older girls needed NOT to wear as much. Phew. Too strong…
Though… This smell, the bit where she had been sitting before she transformed smelled much better, and Lance was there too. That made her happy. Heat from the fire, and home and her best friend. She padded around some more and then turned in a circle before curling up, her tail wrapping around her like Duchess’ did. Cool. She kept her head up, watching Lance… Just in case he decided to fall off of the sofa again… though really she was sleepy and didn’t think she could do anything to help him.

…. Being a cat was exhausting.
Honestly he had no idea why he continued to sniff the couch, but it was just... fascinating. His blue eyes darted around the room, taking in everything while his nose took in other things. Inching towards the other side of the couch, he finally paused at the edge, looking down towards the floor as his little pink nose worked a mile a minute. Until he turned around started back towards the other end again, that is.
The same smells filling his senses began to become boring though. Plus, the perfume burned, making him squint his eyes. Ew. But after seeing Marsha curled up on some comfy part of the couch below him, he hopped down and plopped his bum down not too far from where she was. If she was tired, he'd watch out for her.
You know, just in case somewhat tried to sit on her.

Guard!Cat.
Marsha was warm. She was warm and cosey and comfortable and a little hungry but that could be sorted soon… Her nose twitched a little as she shuffled a little on the sofa, nuzzling into alllll of the warmth that surrounded her.
She moved a little more, slowly waking up from her cat!nap, and silently wondered if the potion had worn off yet - surely she couldn’t have made a potion THAT strong? Yawning as she stretched one of her legs backwards to arch her back as she pondered the experience.
However… her leg felt longer than before… and she had just hit something…. AND she could move her fingers.
She wasn’t a cat any longer.
Freaking out at where she ACTUALLY was, her eyes flew open and she began to roll over quickly. However in her haste, her shoulder pushed against somthing else - and she realised too late that the heat she had felt along her back was Lance lying close behind her… Close behind her and VERY close to the edge of the sofa.
The sofa that she had just pushed him off of.
After hitting him in the face with her arm.
……………….
He was never going to talk to her again.
She moved closer to the edge of the sofa, looking down at him. ”Lance?-” She asked slowly, it felt weird to talk again now. ”Are you okay? I’m sorry.” I didn’t know where I was, or what I was doing… Like you hiding from me as a cat… But not really.

His little eyelids had begun to droop not long after he started his guard post and before he knew it, he was curling up on the couch as well, fighting the urge to just shut his eyes entirely. It felt not only a moment later until something smacked him in the face, causing him to suddenly jolt awake.
"HUH..." he groaned, blinking rapidly as his eyes stung with tears. Right on the nose man. With his vision blurred somewhat, and a bit disoriented with where he was, he turned his head to see what hit him...only to receive a face full of hair and a shove to the floor.
"Oooowww," more groaning. With words. WITH. WORDS. He snapped his eyes open again, focusing on Marsha peering at him from the couch as his mind wrapped around the current situation. She was back to normaaaaal. And he? Half sitting up, he patted himself down and held up his hands. HUMAN HANDS.

"We're back to normal!"
In case she didn't realize. HOLY snaps.
Marsha nodded slowly as she looked down at him, her chin resting on her hands now that she could sleepily wake up. ”Are you okay? I was a bit disorientated… “ She bit her bottom lip, looking down at him pitifully.
Don’t hate me, Lance.
Though… ”That was awesome. It was so bizarre experiencing everything from a new angle and things… Do you think Professor Culloden would give us a second potion so we could try a second animal too? I want to flllyyyy!” Her spare hand flew up to the side, imitating wings.
Happy!sigh. That would be amazing. Though, her thoughts were interrupted by hungry growls in her tummy. ”I’m hungry… did we sleep through dinner?” Who had a watch? Who knew the time?

“Yeah, well, I had a potion that Professor Culloden made cause I messed up my own in class” he laughed out loud though it was a bitter laugh. He wished he was as good in potions as in charms but he wasn’t and after sixth years he kind of accepted it. He was horrible at it. Fact. And then she asked why he picked a sheep and he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Was she serious? “Because my face and personality is as cute as a sheep of course! Why else?” seriously , why else? Sheep , out of that list, was the most adorable and it fit him if he had to say so himself. “Did you know that sheep can’t see in front of them? Really weird!”
Yoongi smiled as the third year was enjoying the purple fireworks around them . The smile had vanished instantly when the next second Olympia jumped on the chair as the carpet they had been sitting on caught fire. What what WHAAAT?! “WATER! WE NEED WATER!” He looked around. “WHY ISN’T THERE ANY WATER—OH!”
He laughed , wondering how come he had not thought of using a water spell in the first place. Wand still in hand, Yoongi pointed it at the carpet and shouted “Aguamenti!” A strong jet of water streamed out of the wand and he put out the fire. “uhm…” there was a big hole in the carpet. “Quick! Put the armchair on this spot!” before anyone would notice it.
Of course he did. Olympia waved a hand dismissively. "It's fine, loads of people think it's Olivia.."
Her frustration at people calling her the incorrect name was nothing compared to her Mother's. Mrs Abraham became furious if people got her children's names incorrect. "What is the point of giving my children unique names if nobody gets them right!" She could almost hear her Mother's shrill tones as if she were right next to her.
"Oh dear.. I like potions.." Olympia added as an after thought. She didn't enjoy it as much as Herbology but it was still up there.
The third year's own eyebrows shot up as Yoongi answered, but she had to laugh. "Oh right.. obviously." That was the right answer, as in the one he wanted, right?? The third year's eyes widened. "They can't see infront of them??!" She gasped. "But.. how do- how did you see where you were going?! Or see anyone coming towards you or not bump into things...?!" An image of sheep Yoongi bumping into various objects came into her mind.
Despite being quite terrified at the increasingly large flames infront of her, Olympia began to laugh as Yoongi also paniced. She wiped the tears from her eyes as the older Gryffindor put out the fire using his wand. "Yaay!" She cheered, clapping her hands. But now there was a hole in the carpet.. and it wasn't small. Clambering down from her chair, Olympia heaved it over the hole and proceeded to sit back down and tried to look as casual as she could. "Does it look okay?" She asked him, throwing quick glances at the portrait hole. It would be just her luck for a teacher or maybe even a Prefect to walk in and spot the holey carpet. "I don't really know any spells that could fix it." Olympia chewed her lip and took a look underneath her chair at the carpet, which was now smoking gently.

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.
Wringing her hands and watching Mr. Zeke Browne with big, eager eyes, Nimma nodded cheerfully at his question. "Yep yep, that's the one!" The Star Master! "Nimma wents to the dungeons when she's called and it was in the dirty floor water so the Master told us to make it like brand new, so Nimma did!" Nimma could TELL that the young human was happy with it and bounced excitedly on her heels when the student SNIFFED it, too!
See, Master? This elf did a good jobs!!
"Happy to help, sir!" she squeaked out brightly. "Can Nimma do anything else for you? She can gets food, or a warm beverage? Any more laundry to be done?" Nimma would do it all!

It was Flamsteed... great. He wouldn't think his Head of House... the man did nothing but cause trouble, and at any rate, it was Nimma who had made his sweater right.
Her eager bouncing only served to lift his spirits... Amur was right about the house elves, he decided. He would need to talk to her about this later. BUT... right now, he had a sweater to get back to his dorm, and apparently food to eat.
"Oh, could you?!" he beamed, "I'd love some cake if you've got any." He wasn't even fazed about flavours at this point. Cake was cake, and what was better than having some brought to him? Nothing, that's what.

Cake?? Cake??
Noelle heard cake. And she was a major fan of cake. And someone hd just mentioned it. Her ears practically itched at the word. Her head snapped up from her Herbology book and she looked to see who had said it.
Spotting Zeke, Hady's friend and also her fellow housemate, with a house elf, she beamed. The house elf would bring her some cake right? I bet if she asked politely, they might.
Getting up from the study bench, she silently made her way over and tapped on the older boys shoulder. "Excuse me. Did you say cake?" Not that she was trying to pry but caaaake!

Feeling the tap on his shoulder, Zeke spun to see who it was, only to hear the girls question at the same time. Hey, Firstie! He grinned, giving the girl a nod to confirm the answer to her question. "Yep." Cake. Who didn't want cake, see? "You want in?"
If it wasn't any trouble for Nimma to get some for him, then one more plate wouldn't matter. Right?
Angel was totally enjoying the day but she still had Ancient Runes Homework to do and time was running out, it was hard going up to someone you didn't know and asking them questions, she loved meeting new people but when it was for homework it was scary and strange.
Angel decided that she would wait in the common room and the first person that came in would get to answer the questions, now that was cool, she would make it like mastermind because that she was awesome, or maybe this is your life... hmm she would think about how to do it when the time came but now it was time to wait.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

With all of his homework done and having some free time for himself, Yoongi decided to spend his time in the common room. He walked through the portrait hole after talking to David and stretched his arms in the air as he felt the warmth of the fireplace. Comfortable~
He walked over to one of the empty arm chairs and sat down. "Hey Angel" he said to the girl already in the common room. "You're done with your homework as well?"
