| | |  The Lion's Den
 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!

Uuuuggghhhh she was SO full. Dinner was amazing. The longer she stayed here was the more she grew to realize that most ALL meals would be amazing. Now she had a stuffed tummy and a lot of regrets. Sorta. Who could regret that roast? Who could regret those brownies? The casserole?
Uugghhh, this hurt. This...this was death.
The First Year moved in zombie fashion over to one of the couches by the fireplace and threw herself down without much care. The dorm was too far away at this point. She wasn't sure she'd make it so this would have to be it for at least the next hour.
"Oooooohhhhh!" She groaned, face down in the pillow, arms slumped uselessly.
"OooOOoooOoOoohhhhHHhh"

"OooOOoooOoOoohhhhHHhh" "I thought Myrtle only haunted bathrooms," Cecelia said aloud to her classmates as she shuffled in after dinner, full bellied and sleepy eyed and ignoring the fact that she still had that homework to sort. She strayed away from the queue of girls headed for the dorms and moved towards the source of the sounds instead, eyebrows raised.
"Hello?" It was a girl, whoever it was, solid and definitely not a ghost. "If you're in that much pain, you should probably go see the healer or something." Or she could always go hang with Myrtle. It seemed like they were kindred spirits.
Heh...geddit?

Heh...geddit? Was that...?
"Cece?" Emm called, face still buried in the cushion. "Oh Cece, I ate toooooo muuuuuccchhhh!" So so so much that she didn't think she'd make it to the healer at all. Gryffindor Tower was way far away from literally everything. Once you got up here at the end of the day, there was a good chance anything below the 6th floor would have to be forgotten til morning.
ESPECIALLY with her stomach feeling this way.
Emmerson lifted her head to look up at her friend. "I...I can see the light." This was it. The big final step. Death by food coma...or maybe she was just falling asleep. Huh.
With what strength she could muster, the 11 year old patted a spot along the couch she'd taken. "Sit so I can throw myself across your lap in agony?"
Please?

Please? "That's the worst." Cecelia knew the feeling, did Emm know? When your belly felt so so so full, not the good kind either, but the kind that made you feel like you might just burst like a gobstone. She felt it almost every Halloween when she ate too many sweets. On Christmas, too, when she almost always had second helpings of not only dinner, but dessert. She'd never learn, apparently.
"That's not a good sign," The lioness offered helpfully as she moved closer, looking for any indication that Emmerson might actually need healer assistance and wasn't just being the world's most dramatic first year. As far as Cece could tell, it was dramatics for the win. "Anything I can do to make this transition into the afterlife easier for you, Emm." She planted herself on the couch and offered herself up as the boniest blonde pillow one could ever want.

She planted herself on the couch and offered herself up as the boniest blonde pillow one could ever want. Right right, yeah. Not a good sign at all.
Emmerson waited for Cece to sit then rolled and slumped onto the girl's boney lap. It wasn't as comfy as the couch had been but having the comfort of a friend made it all better. Sorta.
The promise of ANYTHING to make her transition however....that...that got her attention.
"Okay, before I go into the unknown." She began coughing for dramatic effect. "Before...before I go....I need you to sneak Sammy in here...and....and...I need you to tell me his favourite snack so I can have the elves make it then make him take me on a final date--OH!!" Emm shot up, forgetting her plight for the second. "Kizzy and Matty can come, too!! It can be a double date--you think he'll like that?"
Being his sister, Cece would know aaaaall the things.

Being his sister, Cece would know aaaaall the things. The unknown. Cece fought a smile as best she could, but it was hard. Emm was cute and she was good at this acting stuff. Honest to Merlin, Cece was about to suggest she pursue it, too. Only THEN she was talking about dating and Sam and the suggestion got lost somewhere in the great big, thought filled caverns of her mind, never to be seen or heard from again.
There were several things to unpack here. The first was that Sammy had somehow managed to start “dating” before her, willingly or not, and that made her feel some sort of way. The second was that apparently Kizz was dating, too? Did Phoebe know this? They weren’t exactly sharing lately, but she felt like it was something she should know. Also no, she didn’t think Sammy would like that considering she didn’t think Sammy even wanted to date, but she still wasn’t sure how to break the news to Emm here, ‘specially when she was looking so excited.
”You know, bet if you told him it was a hang-out he’d be all for it. Bet he’d love to hang out with you, Kizz, and Matty. You guys should go on an adventure. I mean, if you survive.” She gave the first year’s head a gentle pat, reminding her of her condition.

Emmerson almost forgot about her condition at Cece's words, scandalized by the mere suggestion of it all.
"But it's nooooooot a hang out and I don't want him thinking it's a hang out on account of then he'll think it's not a date and he won't dress nice or bring me flowers or want to hold my hand." Admittedly, things he didn't wanna do even when she did make it clear it was a date but it would be even worse if he thought it was just a friendly hangout.
"We can go on an adventure after but it's super duper important that this be a date 'cause we gotta work on Matty for Kizzy and maybe if she sees what a happy couple we are, he'll jump right in."
Didn't Cece see? She was trying to be a good wingwoman to get things rolling for her friend--as well as wanting extra time with Sammy. Couples needed time together. It was important.
