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 'kulda tuure'.
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!

This was it.. The famed Gryffindor Common Room that Alice had heard all about from both her Father and Brother.. It was so.. red, so cozy. Merlin she loved it already.. How could she not though? It was like if a room could hug you.
It's warm colors and soft textures seemed like the perfect place to sit and read.. Alice sunk into one of the chairs near the fire and wrapped her arms around her knees as she pulled them to her chest. "Merlin... I could just fall asleep." But she didn't want to fall asleep.. she wanted to explore and make friends and show off Diaval.. who was most likely in her room, being miserable.
DORA UMBRIDGE HAD ARRIVED BACK IN HER SECOND HOOOOOME! Regardless of train ride drama or any other she was STOKED to be within the confines of the Castel and ESPECIALLY HERRRR common room. Making a beeline for the fireplace she promptly plopped down smiling wide. This was the life. This here. THIS was what she loved most aboUT Hogwarts.
Casting a glance around (finally) her eyes landed on an obvious first year in a nearby chair. Hmmmm. She might let her soak it all in before she bombarded her with conversation. Hehe. Just a minute.
She did, however, get a small smile and wave from the excited blonde in the floor.
NOW! Where were her FRIENDS? AND COULD SHE MAKE NEW ONES NOW? COULD SHE COULD SHE COULD SHE? Her previous lack of sparkle and bounce had diminished to some degree already!

Alice noticed there was another before too long and looked as the girl smiled and waved.. she didn't remember her from the feast but there were so many faces that who could honestly remember them all?
The redhead beamed and waved back, her blue eyes full of excitement about where she was right now and the possibility of making a new friend. "Hi! I'm Alice Lupin, What's your name?" She asked the other girl as she tried not to seem too eager. But this was it, her first real shot of making a new friend in her own house! Her own DOJO!... okay, not really a Dojo, but still.

SO MUCH EXCITEMENT.
Dora gave a big smile in return and patted the floor beside her. Alice could join her IF she WANTED! "Hey Alice! I'm Dora! Come sit with me if you want. This is the BEST seat in the common room! " So says DORA and Dora's don't LIE! Hmph.
And no, she had not made it to the feast... because she didn't actually want to go, but the firstie delight was clear and strong with this one and DORA LOVED IT! "You're a first year? I don't remember seeing you last term. "

The walk to the common room was a little less exciting than it had been the previous two years. Professor Flamsteed was like, SUPER serious and stuff. And they had to clean up that entire mess, which he himself totally didn't participate in. PLUS, he had no mashed potatoes and gravy for Sir Nicholas. AND his clothes were still wet from the unexpected rainfall. AAAAAND Gryffindor had LOST 100 POINTS. But most importantly...
He failed his knight title.
Lip jutted out into a pout, he entered the common room alongside his fellow lions and flopped into the nearest empty armchair. Cold sandwiches. That was all they had for dinner. And no fun housewarming party to attend to tonight.

Utterly distraught.
Walking into the Common room wasn’t fun. Although she had attempted to get rid of the mash in her hair and the gravy/sauces on her robes … it hadn’t worked. Not really. Oh, and her robes? Still wet. Not soaking, but damp and wet and disgusting.
AKA. Marsha wasn’t happy.
Collapsing into the seat next to Lance on the sofa, she leant her head against his shoulder her disgusting hair on his soaking robes. What a pair. ”I can’t believe that was how we started the term.” Sighing, the Welsh Lion frowned some more and curled up on the sofa, leaning into one of her best friends as a comforting gesture.

Arista was still quite upset at Flamsteed for her loss of points but it was her fault to but still.. The Gryffindor bounded up the steps ready to be reunited with the common room she had come to love so much. She loved it here and it was great to be home.
As soon as she entered her eyes immediately saw a familiar redhead first year getting acquainted with the 'Lion's Den' she giggled remembering her first year she had run throughout the common room so excited. She walked over to the girl and said "Alice!!" She instantly pulled the girl into a hug letting her go she saw another person, (Dora) "Eep hello person I don't know." She also pulled that girl into a hug because why not? She smiled at the girl as she let go and said "Hope you like hugs! I'm Arista Royal by the way." She said giving a small curtsey.

Alice got up pretty quickly and plopped onto the floor. "Nice to meet you, Dora!" the little redhead stretched out her legs and grinned. "I am a first year." She wasn't tired of saying that yet..
"What year are you in?" She asked excitedly. "You'll have to meet my pet! His name is Diaval.. He's a Raven." She was dying to brag to someone cause how many people had pet Ravens? And in Alice's opinion it was the coolest pet anyone could have.
There was the Hugger again! Merlin.. Alice actually hugged back this time cause she didn't know what else to even do this time.. "Arista! Hi!" She smiled happily at the older girl. Alice hoped to be just as pretty a red head in a few years.

If it was humanly POSSIBLE, Dora smiled wider as Alice sat down with her. HEHEHE. Yay! Bouncing a little in place she nodded as the other girl spoke.
"I'm a SECOND year. " So like totally older and wiser and stuff! YASSS.
Oh! She had a Raven?! "Coooool! I have a tarantula named Cherry! She's really sweet. I don't let people hold her much, but you can see her if you want to! " Cool pets for the win!
And then another first year? AND SHE WAS HUGGING DORA! EEP! In an attempt to not be knocked over AND hug the girl back she likely looked a bit flaily and awks, but she went with. "Hi Arista! I'm Dora! " SEEEE this was exciting! All.of.this. The meeting new people, the CHILL VIBE! All of it was amazing and Dora would HAVE SOMEONE'S HEAD IF THEY RUINED IT! Hehe.
Pulling her rucksack closer she gave the two girls a conspiratorial smile. "Do you guys want to make S'MORES? My friend sent me a kit before I left. He knew I'd need it for when term started back! "

OMG Alice hugged her back!! Eeep someone alert the papers, Alice hugged her back!! She grinned she loved it yay!! She beamed at the fellow redhead and her smile grew and grew if that was even possible.
Arista didn't even notice that the girl who she learned was named Dora was having a hard time sitting while she was hugging her. Releasing her she sat down next to the girls and said "I just love meeting new people!!!" She was tempted to shriek and clap her hands but she had only done that once and the memory still made her cringe. "Its a pleasure to meet you Dora, are you a first year like Alice I haven't seen you around before?" If she wasn't, hehe awkward?
S'MORES!!! YES!!! "Yes!!!!! Let's!! Might as well make this evening a good one seeing as the earlier events weren't very pleasant.." The food fight was fun, the aftermath sure wasn't...And then her five points lost wasn't fun either...It really wasn't Arista's fault Flamsteed looked like he was going to explode.

"THAT...was a stellar response," the professor nodded, pointing his finger excitedly at the first year. "5 points, for a very Gryffindor answer."
And nothing to do with her calling him a gem. That part he could have done without.
HOLY HIPPOGRIFFS!!!
Trixie was so excited about what had just happened in the Great Hall with the Head of House that she was almost jumping out of her skin. She didn't know whether to go to the Owlery and send an owl off to her parents telling them what had happened or follow the Prefects up to the common room?
Since she had no idea where the owlery was, Trixie was forced to head straight to the common room, but she was bouncing all the way.
She clambered through the portrait hole, took a run off and threw herself down onto her knees and skidded across the floor.
"I JUST EARNED FIVE POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!! ON MY FIRST NIGHT!" She threw her hands up in the air and waited for the applause. That technically made her the top point earner.
If it was humanly POSSIBLE, Dora smiled wider as Alice sat down with her. HEHEHE. Yay! Bouncing a little in place she nodded as the other girl spoke.

Alice grinned. "Good! You can help me learn everything i need to know about Hogwarts." That's what older student friends were for right? Right.
"A Tarantula!? That's awesome! Mine's name is Diaval." Like Maleficent's Raven.. did she already mention his name? Honestly she couldn't remember. It was all the excitement of making friends and whatnot.
Arista seemed like a really nice girl. Alice liked her already, she didn't know too many older students yet.. Arista and Timmy.. Did Dora count only being one year above her? Maybe. But then Dora mentioned s'mores and Alice nodded like it was nobodies business, her blue eyes looking from the fire back to her new friends. "I love S'mores! I usually make them with my little brother." Who she missed very much.. but at the same time he'd just be gross and annoying right now anyway.
Dora LOOKED at the older girl and frowned ever so slightly. "No. I'm a second year... I was literally here ALL last term. " Hurtful. That was hurtful that this one didn't remember her. EVERYONE should remember Dora Kennedy Umbridge, yo!! But, she quickly wiped the frown away and turned to Alice the first year.
A small laugh left the blonde girl as Alice spoke. "I can TRY! I do know some awesome things, after all! " MHMMM DORA WAS NOW A COOL OLDER STUDENT. YASSSS!
"Coooooool! You can come by my dorm tomorrow and I will show you my spiderling. She eats BUGS! " And it was AWESOME! Hehehehe. NOW BACK TO THE MATTER AT HAAAAND. S'MOREs! Pulling the kit out and grinned widely as she passed out the skewers.
"I don't have enough to share with EVERYONE, but I can definitely share with you two." Next she passed the marshmallows around, then the graham crackers and chocolate. Fixing up her set up of cracker to chocolate ratio, she finally stuck her marshmallow to the flames and smiled bigger.FIRE.
FIIIIIIIIIRE! SHE LOVED FIRE!

”I feel disgusting.” She totally needed a shower.
Picking at the hem of his wet jumper, he stopped after a moment to flex his fingers. They were cold too... and difficult to move properly. He was no foreigner to the feeling, having enjoying running around outside when it was chilly, but this was a whole different story.
He hummed a response to Marsha, not moving when she leaned against his shoulder.
"I'm hungry..."

She so ROCKED!
His ears perked up, eyes glimmering with a bit more life in them after that shout.
DID MARSHA HEAR THAT!?
"ROCK ON!" He jumped out of his seat and flung his arms in the arm, beaming and looking around, having nooo clue who just shouted that. Maybe that girl who had her arms in the air like he did? YEAAA, thumbs up to YOU dudette lion! Five points!

Only 100 points more to go.
Marsha could only nod her head as he said he was still hungry. The sandwiches they had eaten had curbed her hunger but hadn’t abated it fully… ”Maybe we could eat some of the sweets and stuff that Mam packed into my trunk for me?” Though, she knew that she shouldn’t eat so much rubbish… and if she did she would need to get up even earlier tomorrow morning to run more so that she could start fresh. No… ”Or maybe we could go down to the kitchens and ask the elves for food?” But… after the mess they made would they help them?
FIVE POINTS! YES!
”WAAAHHOOOOOO!!!!!”She called out, as she rubbed her cheek from where Lance had dunted her as he had stood up super-quick to celebrate with…. well whichever female had just gotten herself five points. ”Congratulations!” She called out, though she still didn’t move from her ball on the sofa.
It was good to be back at Hogwarts. Kameron had family and friends that he hadn't seen often over the summer and he was looking forward to the time he could spend with them now. Because, really, cooped up in the castle there wasn't many other ways to spend your free time.
Except for right now, because Kam was currently planning on spending his free time doing absolutely nothing. Which is why he had claimed the fluffiest armchair by the fireplace and was stretched out in it, turned sideways with his legs dangling from one of the arms. He'd be productive and social later. Right now he was being lazy.
Hope had wandered around for a little trying to figure out where everything was, but Hogwarts was just soooo big! and with the moving stair cases... Forget about it... So she made her way back to the common room. She passed her housemates. How cool was that to say?? House mates!! She waved at them as she found a seat by the window over looking the grounds. she sat there and pulled out a book. She didn't know why she was placed in Gryffindor because she wasn't all that brave, unless it came to defending her family and friends then from out the depts of her, her braveness reared it's head.
She sighed as she pulled out a piece of gum and chomped on it as she read. this was so relaxing. She knew this year was going to be great!
She saw Arista with some other girls and couldn't help but smile. Arista was such a warm hearted girl, just don't make her mad. She heard Thomas say that before. Arista could get along with anyone and meet anyone and make them an automatic friend. She was just that likeable! No wonder Hope had been so keen on her when she first meet her a few weeks ago in DA.

Kaycee breathed in deeply. LE SIGH. So this is what the rest of the term would be like? She wasn't sure how she could handle it. Despite trying to stay busy and be happy, she had pangs of homesickness.
She looked around the common room hoping to spot someone to hang out with. She smirked when her eyes fell about a mop of curly hair. This'll work.
She knocked Kammy's feet out of the way and perched on the arm of the chair. "Sup, broface?"

... and there went his feet.
Kam looked up when his feet hit the floor, smiling when he saw the cause. Kaycee was talking to him again, then. Or still. Either way, he was a happy brother. He sat up straighter since his footrest was now occupied.
"Absolutely nothing," he replied cheerfully. "What are you up to? Feeling okay about being back?"

Kaycee shrugged. "Nothing really. Just looking for something to do." Or someone to hang out with. Or just... something.
"I'm okay. So far. I'm hoping the feeling lasts." she said with a sad smile. There was no point in lying. Especially since she figured her brother knew that was what she was going to say.
"How are you?"

"How are you?"
Kameron hadn't really expected an honest answer, so he tried to keep the surprise off his face when Kaycee replied. He nodded. Nudging her knee gently, he offered her a small smile. "Have you seen your friends yet?"
He shrugged in response to her question. "I'm fine." He leaned back in the chair again, getting comfortable. "I missed this place. So it's good to be back. I miss being home though, too, so that kinda sucks." It wasn't really bad as a whole. He couldn't complain too much.

Kaycee offered a tiny smile. "I ran into Zeke and Maggie. They didn't look... talkative." Meaning, they were in the middle of a fight when she saw them. And she hadn't bothered running in to anyone else.
She nodded. "Does it get easier as the time passes?" she asked as she looked down. She just was hoping that over time it didn't feel as lonely. And since Kammy was in that place all last year, it would make sense that he'd know.

Hope had wandered around for a little trying to figure out where everything was, but Hogwarts was just soooo big! and with the moving stair cases... Forget about it... So she made her way back to the common room. She passed her housemates. How cool was that to say?? House mates!! She waved at them as she found a seat by the window over looking the grounds. she sat there and pulled out a book. She didn't know why she was placed in Gryffindor because she wasn't all that brave, unless it came to defending her family and friends then from out the depts of her, her braveness reared it's head.
She sighed as she pulled out a piece of gum and chomped on it as she read. this was so relaxing. She knew this year was going to be great!
She saw Arista with some other girls and couldn't help but smile. Arista was such a warm hearted girl, just don't make her mad. She heard Thomas say that before. Arista could get along with anyone and meet anyone and make them an automatic friend. She was just that likeable! No wonder Hope had been so keen on her when she first meet her a few weeks ago in DA.
Thomas walked into see his girlfriend sitting with some other girls. He loved the way she was so friendly, so much better than himself. He chuckled and looked around the common room and saw an adorable first year aka Hope Summers! Walking over he threw himself near her and said "Hopey!! How are you Hope? Got anything you want to talk about to me?" He also sent her a smile chuckling he waved over at Arista and smiled. It was a longshot that she would be able to see her but maybe she would.

No… ”Or maybe we could go down to the kitchens and ask the elves for food?” But… after the mess they made would they help them?
FIVE POINTS! YES!
”WAAAHHOOOOOO!!!!!”She called out, as she rubbed her cheek from where Lance had dunted her as he had stood up super-quick to celebrate with…. well whichever female had just gotten herself five points. ”Congratulations!” She called out, though she still didn’t move from her ball on the sofa.
Flopping back on the couch, in a bit of a lighter mood now, he wiggled around until his feet were in criss cross apple sauce position. Of course, shoes were off. Shoes on furniture was rude apparently, according to his grandmother. "Do you think the elves would give us food?" he asked skeptically. "I mean, we just..."
With a wave of his hands in front of him, he bit the inside of his cheek. Would the elves make them food EVER AGAIN? Or would they be stuck with cold sandwiches for the rest of the term? How badly would they get into trouble for stealing food from another house's table?
