Once you've given The Fat Lady the correct password, you'll enter the Gryffindor common room. On one side of the room is the game corner. At the back of the room are two spiral staircases leading to the dormitories: boys to the left, girls to the right. Two lion statues sit on either side of each staircase. Don't forget to give them a pat before heading to bed; you're sure to get a roar or a purr in return!

The circular space is decorated in the signature Gryffindor colors of scarlet and gold, and there are plenty of plush armchairs, sofas, and beanbags for lounging. The room's most prominent feature is a fireplace; over its mantel hangs a portrait of a lion. A large portrait of the house's founder Godric Gryffindor adorns the back wall. Several other tapestries and paintings depicting animals and famous Gryffindor alumni decorate the walls - who knows? You may even find some of the famous Harry Potter himself! There are also a few tables in quieter spaces where you can study, read, or write to your hearts content. There's also a plaque and a bulletin board on one side of the room. Don't forget to read up on important announcements!

This room is your home away from home during your time here at Hogwarts. So, relax, take a load off!

With the first official day of classes being just before the weekend, Malachi had decided to wait until Saturday (the day after) to come see the lions. He hadn't made an official announcement at the feast and there were no doubt many of them wondering who their new Head of House would be with Simran's departure.

And, of course, there were just a few house keeping matters to get out of the way so it was around midday that the Headmaster made his way into the Gryffindor Common Room. There was still a good 45 minutes before lunch. He didn't suspect he'd be needing all of it but left enough room just in case.

He'd sent word ahead for all the Gryffindors to be gathered and hoped that as informal as he'd made it sound, they wouldn't think it was merely a request.

Malachi walked over to the fireplace, his gaze trained on the flames while he waited for his lions to begin pouring in.

*PhoenixRising* · 05-04-2020, 03:17 PM

Okay this was weird. Why was the headmaster requesting their presence in the Gryffindor Common Room on a Saturday?!? Wasn't that supposed to be a day of rest and relaxation? It was their first weekend at school and already had one of the ickle first years done something to warrant Headmaster action? Oh no, wait, don't tell her she failed Bernie already??

Paranoia rising inside the sixth year as she entered the common room, she noticed the headmaster right by the fireplace, gazing into the flames. Huh, weird and definitely not a sight one saw every day. Had something happened to cause him to look so serious?

She wanted to say something, yet instead no words were found and she just casually cleared her throat to alert him as to her presence.

itsjustjesse · 05-04-2020, 08:21 PM

Okaaaaaaay this was not normal had they done something wrong? Islay wondered as she made her way into the Gryffindor Common room on that Saturday morning. WHAT was going on here – really, they hadn’t gotten to meet their head of house at the feast like every other house always seemed to…and oh he was already there?

All intimidating and everything. ”Gooday Headmaster Trent,” Islay’s voice was almost timid as she spoke in greeting as she walked over and stood behind one of the chairs in the room, her hands leaning onto the soft red fabric as she watched the Headmasters face. was someone getting raided or something? because that seemed plausible.

Watson · 05-04-2020, 08:54 PM

When his alarm went off, Noah glanced up from his History of Magic pre-reading to find that it was time to head down to the Common Room to see what the Headmaster wanted. The fifteen year old at first had been a little concerned with a meeting with the Headmaster on a Saturday because that probably meant someone had done something very, very wrong. Then again... maybe they had done something really, really right? Besides, he still had two pages left to cover before the next lesson so he supposed he could take advantage of the time spent waiting for everyone else to arrive to get it completed for good.

With textbook underneath his arm, he headed down the staircase to find the Headmaster, the Prefect, and Islay already there. "Afternoon Headmaster! How's your Saturday?" he asked before smiling at the Prefect and Islay. He then took a seat next to Islay with textbook open on his lap.

siriusblackliveson · 05-04-2020, 10:49 PM

Was it ever good when the headmaster called a meeting for students? Not really. The second year was coming down from her room, she had already studied earlier in the morning and had decided on lounging in her dorm and reading a magazine. Now it was time to face the music because Headmaster Trent looked serious.... and that was not a good sign. Was this how all head of house and house meetings were going to go? Was he going to be Captain No Fun? She'd heard rumors of a guy coming in and being a Captain No Fun. She did not need that.

Looking at the three other students, she noticed she was the youngest student there. Wait was this a meeting for a specific year and up? She would absolutely go back upstairs and read her magazine. She looked at her prefect and then over at Islay. She was nice during the feast, she decided she was gonna go stand beside her, maybe it wasn't all bad.... right?

hermionesclone · 05-04-2020, 10:59 PM

P A N I C.

That was the only reasonable reaction. Panic. The note from the Headmaster had been casual enough but he couldn't remember any other time where the man had asked to see them. So why they were being called to the common room, he had no idea. Sure, he had people trying to ask him but once they found out that he was just as clueless as they were, they stopped asking him questions.

It was also nice to know that he wasn't the only Gryffindor that the Headmaster had called to see. Because if so, his anxiety would have gone through the tower.

Sigh.

Entering the common room, it didn't take long for Lucas to notice Trent and for that familiar feeling of dread to start settling in. Why were they called here, again? Because Trent wanted a talk with them? What happened? Did someone break the rules? Was he just here to remind them that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden?

The questions started bubbling around his head as he shuffled over towards an empty armchair that he could sit on. Specifically, on the armrest instead of the seat. Uhhhhhhh........ could he disturb him? He cleared his throat, a little more awkwardly than he would've liked. "Uh, hello, Headmaster." Hey. Hi.

BanaBatGirl · 05-05-2020, 03:21 AM

Bernie was in a good mood as she walked through the portrait and into the common room. She was ready to spend a day reading and going outside and maybe trying to feed the Giant Squid or something. Then she saw him, the Headman, looking into the fire all pensive-like. Why in the heck did they have a fire going in September aNyWaY?! It was still, like, nice outside?? Bernie told herself that she was NOT the cause of the Headman's meeting today, thankyouverymuch.

At least, she hoped she wasn't???!?! He hadn't actually stated the reason for this gathering earlier, had he???????

Wait, WHAT IF SHE WAS the cause??!!

What if he'd found out about the cruppies, and how it had kinda all been her idea, and how Claudine had defriended her in public, and how bringing magical dogs on the train to school was like, a vioation of Hogwarts Rule #713, and she hadn't known that, and she should have owled for permission first, but she hadn't done that because she didn't own an owl on account of living with Muggles, and now the Headmaster was here to expel her in front of all her classmates and friends, and the prefects were here as his back-up in case she didn't "come quietly" or whatever the expression was, and and and and----

Bernie hurried over to stand behind Carsyn, whom she tapped on the shoulder nervously, gulping in as much air as she could as her thoughts raced and raced on this wild tangent. It was best if she apologized to those she COULD apologize to before Trent dragged her out of her common room on only the second day of school.

"Um, I just want you to know, Prefect Rose, that I appreciated your tutelage, even though it was short-lived, and that I'm really very sorry for failing you, ma'am."

DaniDiNardo · 05-05-2020, 03:57 AM

Staring into the flames had only been a mild means of passing the time while he waited for the students to arrive but it had quickly drawn him in. Soon the man was lost in thought, regaling himself with memories of the summer just past, and entertaining thoughts of what the year might hold. This process quickly came to an end when he heard the first students begin to arrive.

Malachi tore his gaze away, settling instead on his lions. His brow shot up when he got a look at the lot of them. The man inclined his head in greeting to those who had spoken. "My Saturday's been splendid, actually." But. "Who died?" Why were they looking like they were expecting the worse? The notice barely had three sentences. They could leave the catastrophizing to him. It was his job to assume the sky was falling.

Speaking of...."Grantham, what are you on about?" It had been three days back. What could she possibly have already done? Actually, he was very interested in that answer now.

What WAS she sorry about?

"I had some free time this afternoon and thought it was as good a time as any to drop by. As you no doubt would've noticed, there was no announcement on the new head of Gryffindor. That's because I wanted to come and let you know myself. I'll be the interim Head of House until someone else steps in. We've got at least the year together and despite the panic on several of your faces," Really, relax kids, "I'm looking forward to it. I'm here if you've got any concerns, questions, need extra help, all the things a Head of House would be responsible for. Before I move on, are there any questions?"

*Nordic Witch* · 05-05-2020, 05:35 AM

Cole had slipped in to the common room quiet as a mouse. That they got a personal visit from Headmaster Trent on a saturday was very cruious and alarming. None of them had done anything fishy at the feast right? So why was he here? Quietly he moved over to stand next to Carsyn, shielding Bernie too. Cole looked over Headmaster Trent and greeted quietly "Hello Headmaster!" Hearing what Bernie whispered to Carsyn he looked over shoulder at the younger girl trying to sound reassuring. "Don't assume he is here to talk to you. It could be a totally different reason."

Several minutes later Headmaster Trent announced that he was their new head of house instead of Professor Sandhu. Remembering his talks with Professor Sandhu about certain things Cole asked. "Professor Sandhu's door was always open if we needed to talk about feelings and worries and every day stuff. Is your door going to be open for that too whenever we might need it?"

itsjustjesse · 05-05-2020, 05:58 AM

Had the floor dropped out of reality? Islay’s eyes widened in surprise as she heard what Headmaster Trent said – head of house Trent…what was this world? Was this the new next level Jumanji?

Islay glanced over toward Cole and gave him a small nod of appraisal as if saying thank you for the question – because it was a good one. OF COURSE Islay noticed that Charlotte was standing beside her, she’d even reached down to offer her a hand if she needed one when Headmaster Trent offered his news.

TakemetotheBurrow · 05-05-2020, 02:53 PM

Holy hippogriffs, the headmaster was their head of house! That was...well...wow. She liked him a BUNCH and all, but she also soooometimes did stuff that would maaaaybe be frowned on by a headmaster. At least Professor Sandhu seemed like she GOT them. Like, even if you messed up, it wasn't the end of the world. Something told her that Trent was going to have to be a BIT more strict with them and she wasn't sure that was going to work. Just LOOK at Lucas! He looked like he was going to throw up or something and he was a PREFECT. He hardly ever messed up!

Oh gosh.

Best to start making a good impression now, right? "I just want to say welcome and looking forward to working with you, Sir." And she saluted...because....she wasn't sure what else to do?

Yeah, that went well.

pundantic · 05-05-2020, 03:33 PM

Kale was late.

He didn’t really think the summons by his Daddee applied to him. Cuz like he hadn’t done anything wrong in his life ever. That was other Gryffindors.

But eventually the curiosity won out and he wiggled his way to the Common Room. His first thought was that he’d need to write to Mavis immediately about a new idea for a haircut. From behind, his father’s hair was lookin’ not good. The second was—

hEAd oF HouSE??

What. But. No. Being Headmaster was bad enough, what with all his rigid rules and his lack of affection and L O V E for his only son at official functions and in classes. But now he was going to be his Head of House, too?!

Without much thought, he blurted out, “You can’t.” No ‘sir’ or ‘Headmaster’ or ‘Professor’ found.

She had been ABOUT to say that she was sorry for getting herself expelled and how there was no need to call in the DMLE because she'd take her expulsion quietly, mostly, with only a few waterworks, but this....he....HER HEAD OF HOUSE NOW?!

Why????????????

"You mean I'm NOT being expelled?" He'd asked for questions and yes, this one was important. She needed to hear confirmation straight from the Head Lion's mouth, pls.

"I think this reason might be worse?" Bernie whisper-replied to Cole.

WHO was supposed to be her advocate TO the Headmaster if HE was going to be playing Judge Judy and Executioner now?!

"What Kale said, but as a question," Bernie piped up, again, with her hand in the air this time. Why? Why not? "I mean, you can't take this role on sir. Surely it's TOO MUCH work and stress for you? With a whole school to run? And Defense classes to teach? And duelling club? And are we going to have drama club this year? Someone told me you were in charge of drama club and I'd very much like to stage a production based on wizarding history, sir??? Sir???"

See? She had like SO many questions. Her HoH had to have a lot of patience for her and all her questions, and she wasn't sure Kale's dad had that anymore, so uh........ yeah.

The Fat Lady's portrait was thataway, sir, if he wanted to get out now. She wouldn't blame him.

Watson · 05-05-2020, 11:40 PM

Noah was glad that the Headmaster was having a good Saturday. He assumed that if it was bad news, he was sure that the Headmaster wouldn't have wanted to be here as much as the Lions did. But then again- that's how Noah would have felt if he had been in the man's shoes. As he waited for the rest of the house to file in, he finished up the last two pages of pre-reading before placing the book on his lap once more.

Glancing around the room, he noted several of his housemate's facial expressions. Yep, everyone had a similar thought. Doom and gloom had struck indeed. And then the message was delivered which wasn't too bad.

Oh. OH. So Headmaster Trent was going to be their Head of House? And he was looking forward to it? Cool! That was enough information that Noah needed to think that there was anything bad going on. This was good news? Sure. It was good news. However, some of his housemates weren't taking it well like a girl named Bernie and Kale. Hmm... He smirked, watching them try to convince him out of the role of being the Head of their House. Hmmm... He wondered. Perhaps they had a point.

The boy offered their Headmaster a smile and shook his head. "No questions from me, Sir, " he said.

DaniDiNardo · 05-05-2020, 11:52 PM

Ah, so there were questions to start. Understandable and expected. Trent nodded his confirmation to Vance's question, spotting the small nod of agreement Moreau have given. While he did consider half their feelings to be way more than a situation warranted, he understood they were teenagers and sometimes irrational by design. It helped to have someone to talk things through with. "Absolutely. If you've got something bothering you, need an ear, whatever it is, you can come see. I plan to take this role very seriously." It wasn't merely holding a title until he could find a replacement. He would make himself available should the lions need him--as much as was possible anyway.

"And thank you, Summers. I really do think we might be in for a good year. I've got some great things planned." So long as y'know, they weren't out and about being outrageous and breaking rules left and right sloppily. Could hardly turn a blind eye if they were being blatant and obnoxious, or putting lives at risk.

Dramatic, you say? Last term in the forbidden forest, he says.

And then there was Kale. The son that broke his heart every single time and had begun to make him feel like he could do nothing right as a father. It was difficult being both his father and his Headmaster. The roles directly conflicted at times, like right this second. Right here. Right now when his son had essentially challenged his authority in front of the rest of the house after waltzing in when he had a mind to.

Malachi's jaw clenched some but for the most part, he retained his composure. "It wasn't a request, Trent. I'm not asking if I may be your Head of House. It's already done."

Which led him to....Grantham. "Why on Earth would you think you're being expelled--what did you do?" Was he missing something? Y'know, besides her trying to agree with his son. Could she tell he wasn't impressed? "I'm well aware of my work load, Grantham and am pleased you've taken the time to start paying attention to it as well." Maybe now she'd realize all the things he could be doing if he wasn't hauling them off to detention for doing things they were already told not to do. "Rest assured, I've already worked out my schedule."

He nodded toward Nam when he said he had no questions. One less who thought they needed to talk him out of this.

"And if there are no more questions--if one pops up, feel free to let me know--let's move on to one of the first things I want us focusing on. We'll be having a bit of....friendly competition with Slytherin house. An afternoon of sports and we're gonna run 'em into the dirt....in friendly manner." Sure sure, of course.

But they were gonna win.

pundantic · 05-06-2020, 12:08 AM

At his direct, unyielding tone, Kale felt his bottom lip begin to wobble. He clenched his jaw so nothing mortifying happened, liKe mERliN foRBiD hE CrIEd, and tried to endure the rest of what his fa--no, Headmaster had to say.

But. Gosh. He didn't care.

He didn't care what his--

a) Head of House
b) Headmaster
c) Owner of the Coldest Heart of Any Dad In Existence

--had to say.

Instead, he would much rather crawl into his bed and make camp there. Perhaps he would never leave. That sounded like a capital idea.

Stupid Headmaster. Stupid Dad. STUPID THAT THEY WERE THE SAME PERSON. Stupid.

He lowered his eyes to the ground and stood there in silence. Appropriately chastened. Thoroughly heartbroken.

itsjustjesse · 05-06-2020, 12:13 AM

Schooling her emotions was something that Islay Moreau was working on. It wasn’t her reactions to Headmaster Trent being their Head of House, no, it was more than that. It was the reactions to her fellow housemates – it was, almost shocking really. After all of those years at Beauxbaton she was still bewildered to hear people speak out so freely when something was brought up.

The young girls heart ached a little bit when she heard Trent’s words, not because of what she had said, but because of the hurt behind them. Sometimes her urge to offer people hugs came out at the worst times – and right now, right now seemed like the worst time. Her eyes flicked toward Bernie as she questioned if she was being expelled.

WHY WAS SHE BEING EXPLLED? Her eyes were wide with concern but she didn’t ask anything, not yet, not at all. ”Thank you Headmaster, for letting us know so promptly.” she gave him a kind smile even as her eyes still held a lot of emotion. Turning to look at everyone she just when he mentioned the competition with slytherin. ”what kind of sports, sir?” sh asked quietly, and kindly.

BanaBatGirl · 05-06-2020, 03:04 AM

Was it weird for the Headmasterman to have to say his own last name when he was talking to his son? Bernie would have thought he'd at least call him Kale, not Trent, since he apparently liked the vegetable enough to name his own kid after it.

But they were gonna win.

"I DON'T KNOW," Bernie blurted in a bundle of nerves again. "I didn't do anything, sir, I promise." She took a biiiiig steadying breath and nodded a few times, deciding that NOW she'd better NOT say ANYTHING ELSE just in case he felt inspired on a whim to expel her.

She was a GOOD GIRL, see? GOOD. AN ANGEL. Who even KEPT TABS ON THE HEADMASTER'S SCHEDULE for him out of sheer concern. She'd done NOTHING bad SO FAR THIS YEAR.

So, uh, anyway. Bernie let out a small hiccup from all the air she'd inhaled now. So they were going to be running Slytherin into the dirt? GOOD. She had a few Snakes she'd like to shove around....all in the name of friendly competition, of course.

*PhoenixRising* · 05-06-2020, 11:01 AM

Feeling Bernie's presence right next to her, whispering about short-lived and appreciate, Carsyn wrinkled a brow in confusion. Um, it was only the first weekend, surely the third year hadn't done anything to mess up to call a meeting in the common room for all gryffindors? And also, wouldn't that have been a private matter that he would have summoned her to his office instead? Another also, she appreciated Cole there trying to reassure Bernie because all she could do at the moment was reach to give Bernie's hand a quick squeeze.

That was when the Headmaster turned around to address them all. Who died? Ummmm wasn't that like his job to inform them of that?

No time to dwell though because he was quickly moving on for an announcement about their new head of house. Him, as interim. That was .... unexpected.

Additionally unexpected was the announcement about a friendly competition of sports against Slytherin. Sports. Was it a ... particular sport that half of hogwarts desperately wanted? Unlikely because if it was, well, why wouldn't he have just mentioned it?

The headmaster wasn't dropping it with Bernie, so Carsyn commented on the one thing she felt capable to speak about at the moment. "She's telling the truth. The only thing thing Bernie did was ask for my help this year." At least as far as she knew that was the case. Hopefully.

macaroni · 05-06-2020, 06:59 PM

To be honest, a lot of the conversation went over Alexia's head. She wasn't even quite sure why she was here. She just read the announcement and decided that she was to come. All she was really getting was that the Headmaster was going to be their Head of House. Which meant that they really weren't going to be able to get away with doing ANYTHING less than good. You know that saying about parents having eyes in the back of their heads? That applied to parents, coaches, and Headmasters.

This was, of course, perfectly fine with Alexia. She was a generally good child. Some pre-teen mischief of COURSE, but she never did anything that the bad kids in her class did. She didn't think the Headmaster being the Head of House was going to be a problem.

Then again, looking at the faces of the students that had been here longer, she might be wrong. Some of them didn't look too happy. Maybe she was cool with it because she didn't know the Headmaster too well yet. She didn't have enough time to form an opinion of him yet, so the announcement didn't come with an emotional response. It was like saying that her mom was allergic to cats. Correct. It was also correct that the Headmaster was going to be the Head of the House. These were both facts.

Even though she didn't think she could be seen, Alexia smiled a warm smile at the Headmaster. She wasn't exactly FOR him being Head of House, but she wasn't exactly against it either. However, she thought someone should give a kind smile to him. It was a gesture.

Her smile stretched a little more when she heard the word sports. Alexia had been waiting to do some sports stuff again. She was actually starting to miss the practice workouts that her team was probably doing right now. The workouts! How bad was that? Her opinion was changing about the Headmaster. She might have been blinded by the sports, but still. The promise of friendly competition always pumped up her spirits.

Watson · 05-07-2020, 01:14 AM

Noah was about to ask just when the friendly competition with Slytherin when there was expulsion talk going on. MERLIN. Friendly competition with Slytherin could wait. He was being very entertained by this whole thing going on....

Getting expelled... What? His eager eyes flicked back and forth between Bernie, the Headmaster, and the Prefect. Someone pass the popcorn. This was intriguing indeed.

"When would we be having said friendly competition?" he asked. It'd be nice to see Aboli again and hang out with her.

DaniDiNardo · 05-07-2020, 12:53 PM

While he did feel bad for the way he'd shut Kale down, he couldn't and wouldn't have his position challenged, least of all when this was already a done deal and nothing any of them said could get the situation reversed. So yes, his son was now sulking, but there were other matters to attend to. He couldn't just stop to console him.

Malachi gave Grantham a once over, realizing how worked up she was getting. This had moved from one end of the spectrum to another. Rose backing her up however...made him more inclined to believe. He nodded his understanding. "Alright...well...that's...that's actually good of you, seeking help. Rose, I trust you can handle it."

He could move on to questions about the competition--and yes, he did catch Harris's smile--good to know some were looking forward to this.

"We'll kick it off at the start of October, that gives us enough time to get in shape and ready to roll." To answer Nam's question. As to Moreau's, "Not a particular sport, if I'm being honest. They're more like activities. Professor Fuller-Thompson and I are still working out the details but there will be a diverse set, hopefully something for everyone. You can choose to participate in all or none of the events. It's not compulsory. Just a bit of fun."

This wasn't a dictator decree of any sort and he wouldn't force anyone to have fun.

"There is...one more thing. At another point this year, we'll be having a trivia and hot chocolate night." Freshly decided as of the last night during class when he realized how many of them had a death wish. He was sure they could guess the topic of the questions.

TakemetotheBurrow · 05-07-2020, 05:02 PM

"That's going to be awesome!" Cecelia LOVED to win and hey, maybe they'd get to do some flying?! Her fingers AND toes were crossed that they'd incorporate that in the competition somehow. Slytherin wasn't going to know what HIT them. RAWR!

...Admittedly she was less enthused about the whole trivia thing, but she could be down to participate if hot chocolate was involved. Hopefully with lots of marshmallows to float on top. "You had me at hot chocolate, Sir." He should bribe them with chocolate ALL the time. She bet they'd get along swimmingly if he did that.

pundantic · 05-07-2020, 11:35 PM

He never stopped to console him.

That was fine. This was all fine. He could cope. In fact, he was already writing the letter his mother would receive in his head.

The third year didn't have much else to say to the Headmaster. Kale stood quietly waiting to be dismissed. No wiggle in his usually upbeat body. Not even one toe was tapping.
