| | Lionesses Dorms Located at the top of a spiral staircase and just to the right are the Gryffindor girls' dormitories. Rooms are assigned according to year, and each door is marked with a wooden plaque. Taking the stairs up will automatically lead you to the appropriate room.
Each room is home to several cozy four-poster beds with gold sheets and pillows, and a bright red velvet covering. There are matching red silk curtains that can be drawn to give the occupants a bit of privacy. Each bed has its own nightstand, and in keeping with the Gryffindor element of fire, the rooms are lit with magical flames in fireproof, shatterproof jars. A shelf and closet are also provided for housing clothes and any mementos to remind you of home.
Please remember that this is the girls' dorm; in other words, NO BOYS ALLOWED! Just in case, the staircase is bewitched to turn into a slide should anyone get any ideas.

| not throwing away my shot | Slytherpuff | roll for initiative | woof you ❤ Elena had to admit, she liked living in a tower. Despite the many many stairs it took to climb up there, the view out any of the common room windows was absolutely incredible. She didn't know if she would ever get tired of being able to look out over the whole grounds. And she had to admit that she was a teensy bit glad that she hadn't been sorted into Ravenclaw. Even though her tátko had been a Ravenclaw and she would have liked to be like him, she thought that it would be pretty difficult to have to answer a riddle every time she wanted to enter the common room. All she had to do to enter the Gryffindor common room was remember a password, which was much easier.
The dormitory itself looked very nice, and Elena loved it immediately. The beds looked so comfortable, and the magical flame around the room made it look and feel very pleasant. All in all, she was pleased at being a Gryffindor. Even though she did consider the hat her mortal enemy for life for not listening to her and separating her from Alexei. And even though she had sort of been hoping for either Slytherin or Ravenclaw like her dads. But it did make her feel better that Auntie Ellery had been a Gryffindor, so she was taking after her.
Elena selected a bed right in the middle of the room so as to be surrounded by people (her new friends). She still had a lot of work to do unpacking her trunk. She started with momentos from home. First was a family picture; her, Alexei, Juniper, their dads, and even Ivo laying on the grass in front of them, a slight blur behind him from where his tail had been wagging. Elena carefully lifted it out of her trunk and placed it gently on her nightstand. |

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf It was funny how you could know that one plus one equaled two and yet not entirely put together that your friend from primary school who also graduated at the same time and lived not all that far away from you and you had also seen in Diagon Alley during summer shopping just might end up being not just your classmate but dormmate too. It was almost too perfect for muggle chance and fantastic all the same!
Bria had gotten preoccupied in the common room, looking for something nain may have left behind during her time as Gryffindor Head of House, but was now taking the steps two or three at a time to reach her new home away from home. "Elena! Hi!" she beamed with a wave as she skipped the rest of the way over to the bed off to the left of what Elena had seemingly selected and smiled as her trunk dragged itself across the floor to join her at the foot of the bed. She then flopped onto her bed with a soft thump, the sheer exhaustion of the day settling into her not-so-weary first year bones bones as she let out a long, contented sigh, staring up at the canopy above her. The four-poster bed was soft, far more comfortable than anything she’d ever had at home which surprised her...but it did feel empty without the cruppy pile she often snuck into her room to sleep with. The scarlet and gold hangings around her bed seemed to glow faintly in the evening light, and for a moment, she just let herself drift in the quiet of Gryffindor Tower. A brief moment because soon she was rolling on to her stomach and kicking her bum with her heels. "What a day, right? I can't wait to finally explore the grounds!"
She watched as Elena began decorating her part of the dorm, sliding off the bed as well to fling open her trunk to do the same. Clothes strewn across the floor as she looked for her preciousesses, the blonde giggled shrilly once the pulled out a quaffle sized brown plush hen with blushing cheeks and set it on her bed right in the middle in front of her pillow. "Looking good, Mama Hen," she smiled before returning to her trunk and pulled out not one...not two...not even three or four but eleven chick plushies, each with a unique appearance but all with the same blushing cheeks as Mama Hen, and arranged those in rows on either side of their mama. "Primrose...Charcoal...Shell Hat...Sunnies...oh wow LOOK! You can see the moon right from our window!"
Not to mention the view of the grounds from their room, wow!

| oh i guess she'd have gone to St Woboldo's too lol YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers The bright side to the Gryffindor tower was that even though it'd been like 15 or 16 years since her mum had been in these dorms, Kara could almost feel her presence. Much like Bria, even though she'd seen the other two girls for the past decade, she'd been oblivious to the fact they would all be starting Hogwarts together. She hadn't been so dazed to not know their names though which she supposed was a good thing. "Hi Bria, Elena." She greeted the other girls upon taking note of the bed arrangements. With Elena taking the bed in the middle and Bria taking one near the window, it seemed to leave one on the other side. Flopping down on it she watched as her new dormmate flung clothes and such on the floor - was this a small taste of what the next 7 years would be? She hoped it was just a getting settled thing because while Kara wasn't the cleanest she could almost hear her mother scolding her to pick up her clothes.
That was a lot of plushies Bria had? She just had the one goat plushie she'd had for as long as she could remember. "Wonder if we can just take our astronomy lessons right from the Gryffindor tower instead of having to go into a different tower," she mused quietly mostly in response to Bria's comment about the moon.

| not throwing away my shot | Slytherpuff | roll for initiative | woof you ❤ Elena was absolutely delighted that people she already knew from St. Woboldo's were at Hogwarts with her now. It meant that it wasn't quite so intimidating entering a school full of entirely new people. She even knew some of the older students! Elena did enjoy meeting new people, so she was also glad that not everyone had gone to the same primary school with her and there were new faces mixed in with the familiar. "Hi Bria!" She greeted the other girl enthusiastically. "I can't either. They're so big, there's so much to see! My dads and my sibling told me lots of stories about it but I can't wait to see everything for myself!" She had loved listening to all their stories, and was excited to have stories of her own to tell them the next time she saw them. She watched as Bria began pulling chick plushies out of her trunk. There were so many that Elena lost count. She giggled. "I like your chickens. Are they all going to fit on your bed?"
Elena continued pulling items out of her trunk, the next being a painted treasure box her dad had given her that she tucked into the drawer of her nightstand. As she did so, another familiar face entered the dorm. Elena gave her a sunny smile as well. "Hi Kara! Can you believe we're all Gryffindors?" She giggled at the girl's musings. "Only if the Astronomy professor came to the tower as well." |

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf A chicken plushie for every birthday—of course! Which meant this year’s plush little gift would likely arrive by owl later in the month. It was a sobering thought, though, considering it would be her first birthday without mum and dad, or the bowtruckles trying to snatch the candles off her cake (dad always said they were worried about forest fires, but Bria had a feeling it was more about the carrot cake).
"Oh, same! Well, mum and dad, mostly. Not so much a sibling, since Emrys is younger than me... but I've heard loads of stories from them." Bria might’ve also spotted their names on a few things in the trophy room, but that was a problem for another day. Or maybe never. Never was good, right? Kneeling on her bed, she surveyed her little of flock chicken plushies and smiled with a special kind of satisfaction. They were all perfectly arranged, though she knew they'd probably tak flight during the night and be scattered all over the floor come morning. No matter. She’d just pick them up, one by one, and return them to their rightful place: her bed. "They seem to... but they'll have to make room for another friend soon," she added, nodding with the kind of wisdom only a chicken plushie collector could possess.
A class in the common room? "OH! Like a sleepover astronomy lesson! We could have blanket forts for sleeping and telescopes poking out the windows! And since our professor is a ghost, she could just float through the walls to check on us. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, like." It occurred to her, with a brief pause, that maybe she should’ve properly greeted Kara, but jumping into the conversation and imagining all the ridiculous ‘what ifs’ seemed much more personal and greeting implied. "Or... are they only considered lessons when you're in an actual classroom? So it’d be more like special Gryffindor tutoring? Since, well... there’s no way we could fit all the other houses in here. Maybe if astronomy’s as confusing as it seems, and we all earn D's and T's on things, Professor Burbage will have no choice but to host a special Gryffindor Tower Astronomy Sleepover."
Her chicken plushies? They would find that cluckin’ awesome. Not the scores. The sleepover.

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers It definitely was making the transition slightly easier even if she was feeling the homesickness. But at least there was comfort in the familiarity of her dormmates. "Definitely. Kind of thinking about what sorts of clubs might be intriguing. Like I know we're only first years but I think there's a large variety of things available outside of classes that might be kind of cool."
Wait. Another friend soon? Kara tried to do a mental tally for how many were on the bed, but as with air counting it was proving more challenging since she kept skipping over. "All gryffindors and all our names end in A," she grinned, thinking it almost felt like fate. If she believed in such a thing. "Ooohhhh yessss I did see that the Astronomy professor was a ghost. So she could definitely easily join us. So are we going to like purposefully try to fail? Cause it might be something that's easy to aim for some Ds and Ts to get her attention. But then what if other houses catch on and want the same treatment and then the special tutoring session backfires and she still needs to do it in the astronomy tower? Like surely there must be a way to guarantee it happens here? Unless we just did some independent research but that sounds like way too much work!" Kara made a face before turning back to Bria ... "So how come you're adding another chick plush soon?" She asked curiously.

| not throwing away my shot | Slytherpuff | roll for initiative | woof you ❤ Elena liked the chicken plushies. They reminded her of Juniper, and of home. "Do you have real chickens?" She asked Bria. "We do, they're my sibling Juniper's. They make eggs for us." And sometimes they could be loud and a little annoying, but mostly Elena found them funny. She liked to watch them.
And then Kara was talking about clubs, which was a topic of great interest to Elena. "Have you thought about what clubs you want to join?" She asked both of her dormmates. "I want to take art and drama for sure. My daddy is an artist and we have an art room at home and he lets me use his stuff if I promise to put it back neatly. And I've done theater back home, so it would be cool to do something like that here too." What she was going to miss most was her dance class, which she was used to going to several times a week. There wasn't any sort of dance club, so she was going to have to practice on her own if she didn't want to fall behind. Cam had told her that there were older students at Hogwarts who danced, so maybe she could find them and they could dance together. That would be cool.
She giggled again at their Astronomy plans. "An Astronomy sleepover does sound fun. I don't think getting bad grades on purpose would be a very good plan though." She knew that her dads wouldn't be disappointed in her for having bad grades if she struggled with something, as long as she did her best. "Maybe if we all do really good we could get an Astronomy sleepover like as a reward." |

| ...good lord this post got AWAY from me XD astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Bria's face lit up at the mention of clubs. "Oh, clubs, yes! That’s something I’m really excited about! Mum always says there’s something special about finding what you’re passionate about, and Hogwarts has to have something special for everyone, right?" She perked up a little, her legs kicking against the bed as she looked around the room, trying to keep her excitement steady and not knock any of her flock off the bed. "I was thinking for sure Creature Companions since, well, that’s basically my whole life at home. I mean, I grew up on a magical creature sanctuary, I know learned loads from being mum and dad's mini assistant. Plus, it might be good to have something to do that reminds me of the sanctuary ... especially when I get homesick." She paused, looking a bit shy, her voice becoming a little quieter. "Also...Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare. I know there are a lot of house-elves at Hogwarts, and I want to do my part to make things better, even if it’s just a little, for them and understand their role in our Hogwarts experience...especially since I reckon they get taken for granted." She sighed, glancing at her plush chickens for a moment. "Animals and creatures of all kinds... they deserve kindness." She smiled softly, her eyes glazing over for a moment as she thought about home and how she might have taken some of its comforts for granted too. "Also, well, I’m not exactly... graceful, and it’d be nice to figure out some ways to be a little less accident-prone...so something athletic too? Health and Wellness Club might work and maybe they'll do yoga or something to help me with balance!" She looked back at her friends, her smile a little sheepish. "And I’ve been wondering if Duelling Club might be a good idea too. I don’t know if I’m any good at duelling, reckon I won't be, but it might help me not fall over every time someone sneezes near me. That's an exaggeration but...also has some merit. Maybe if I get a bit more focused, I can avoid knocking into walls and tripping over my own feet when I get too excited." There were several others as well that had been rolling around inside her head (she obviously liked collecting so...) but she also was feeling quite sheepish about monopolizing the conversation and turning too much into a fwooper so she grabbed Mama Hen and squeezed her to her chest with a soft laugh. "I'll for sure be in the audience for all your performances, Elena," she encouraged with a chipper couple of nods. "You'll be brilliant. You already are. I've heard some older students talking about a dance studio called Drift or Shift and I THINK the owner did something with your dad? Turn Off or Turn On...or something like that. Nain watches it on the telly." Bria hardly had her nose in other people's business but when she overheard familiar names and connections to friends, her ears were positively ringing.
When Kara pointed out that all their names ended in "A," Bria’s brow furrowed slightly as she thought about it. "Actually, I -" She paused, then gave a small, almost shy smile. "My full name’s Briallen. It’s Welsh, and it doesn’t actually end in an 'A.' It means 'primrose,' like the flower." She shifted a little awkwardly, not wanting to correct Kara too much but feeling a bit funny about the misunderstanding that had been made in good fun and to bond them all together as first year lionesses. "Bria’s just a nickname, you know?" She gave a gentle shrug, trying to make light of the small correction. "I don’t mind being called Bria, though! Prefer it since, well, when I'm called Briallen it usually means I'm in trouble," she explained with a giggle and burying her face in Mama Hen's plush body for a couple of seconds before lifting her head again so she could glance around at her dormmates, offering a soft smile. "But it’s nice that we all have those little things in common. Kind of does feel like fate a little." Her expression warmed, the connection with her friends making her feel a bit more at ease while wondering why she had even felt the urge to bring up her full name in the first place.
When Elena mentioned real chickens, Bria’s grin returned, but it was small and a little wistful. "Real chickens! That’s so nice. I think chickens are just... kind of magical in their own way. They’re funny, but sometimes they can be a bit loud and mischievous but ALWAYS adorable and...well, chickens are my bias." She chuckled quietly, though there was a touch of sadness in her voice. "I bet Juniper’s chickens are lucky to have you. Mine are... well, the plushies keep me company until the holidays." She paused and glanced at her plushies, giving Mama Hen another tight squeeze and a little nuzzle. "I get a new plushie every year for my birthday and I have a late September birthday so this year's will surely be arriving by owl."
Okay, so, it totally had been her that initiated the thought of doing poorly to earn a sleepover, but as the conversation progressed Bria's shoulders sloughed a little more and more. She let out a small sigh, her fingers tugging absentmindedly at the edge of her blanket. "I don’t really know much about Astronomy, actually. I... I think I’d struggle a bit. A lot. I love looking at the stars, and I’m pretty good at finding pictures in the sky, but I’m not very good at remembering what’s what. I guess I wouldn’t even have to try to get D’s and T’s... I think it might just... happen." She bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed as she continued, her voice quieter. "I guess I’ll just have to do my best and hope that’s enough. OH! How about we just host an astronomy sleepover and we could just be SO good that Professor Burbage can’t resist joining us!"
Was she the only one who had completely lost the trail of this sleepover idea? At this point, Bria might as well have been chasing a bowtruckle through a hedge maze, unlikely to find the original purpose even if it were standing right in front of her, waving its arms and squawking like the very agitated bowtruckle she was after in the first place.

| Whoopssies... i missed that ya both posted *hides* YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers The mention of clubs got both her friends talking animatedly about the different clubs they might like to join which had Kara thinking all sorts of things mostly because she didn't even know some of them existed. Like the one about Elfish Protection?? Was it still a thing in 2115 that House Elves were treated unjustly? Elena was interested in the arts - specifically art and drama. "I'm not really sure if I'd be any good at art or drama, but maybe the elfish club sounds cool. Kind of thinking about gobstones too, because mum and I used to play with marbles. Not super athletic, but gobstones requires more strategy. I always liked playing board games." Kara nodded in concurrence when Bria pointed out that Elena was going to be brilliant at the drama thing. "You got two big fans already who will be at your shows." Although she guessed Elena's brother would be there too, which meant three.
Kara's eyes widened at Bria's explanation with her full name. She was sure somewhere in a distant memory she knew that of Bria's full name from teachers calling out on the rosters, but Bria had just been so much easier to remember and roll off the tongue, that Kara had always just presumed Bria to be her name. "Primrose. That's super pretty. I think my name means beloved or friend." She wondered if it was a premonition to her mom and her own friendship.
She listened as Elena and Bria talked a moment about chickens, not really having much to contribute to that conversation. Except when Bria said something about having a late September birthday and getting a new plush every birthday. Oh that explained why she had so many - which meant too that she'd have a total of 18 before they graduated?
Oh that probably wasn't too smart now that Elena had to go and point it out about how they shouldn't purposefully try to get bad grades. "Maybe but I'm not sure they'd do the reward sleepover in the Lion common room, but I kind of think the idea of us hosting and getting on Professor Burbage's good side might be one of the more effective ways to persuade to pop by." Then no purposeful fails. And it wouldn't be an impromptu study session. Maybe some sort of celebration would be enticing for their professor to visit?

| not throwing away my shot | Slytherpuff | roll for initiative | woof you ❤ "Ooooh, Creature Companions sounds cute. Maybe that would be a fun one too." She didn't have the same level of investment in creatures as Bria did. The only creatures she was around consistently were Juniper's chickens and their family dog, Ivo. "Health and Wellness Club sounds like a good idea too. I won't be able to go to dance class like I did back home, so having something to stay active would be a good idea so I stay in practice and don't fall behind when I go back home." It was something she had worried about. Going away to Hogwarts while all the other girls in her dance class continued dancing year round. She didn't want to fall behind. She loved to dance, and wished she could continue to do so without having to take the whole school year off. Hopefully between drama and health and wellness she could get enough practice even without a dedicated dance class. Plus she would still have to do some practice by herself. Speaking of, Elena beamed when her dormmates said they'd be at any drama club performances. Assuming she got in, that was. "Thanks!" She told them, before grinning more at Bria's words. "Oooh, yeah! My tatko dances on TV! It's called Turn Out." "That is pretty," she agreed. A flower was a pretty thing to be named after. "I don't know if my name means anything. I do know I'm named after my dad's mom. Alexei and I both are. Well I'm named after his mom and he's named after his dad. Our grandparents." They probably understood that without her needing to explain but, well, she had.
Elena had maybe sort of also lost the plot of the Astronomy sleepover conversation, and was mostly just interested in the idea of a sleepover in general. Because sleepovers were fun. "What if we had an Astronomy sleepover in the Astronomy tower. And then everyone would come and no one would feel left out. Because we might have other friends in other houses that we might want to include in our sleepover too, you know?" And maybe Elena was feeling sad again over her and Alexei being in different houses and that was influencing her ramblings. But she was trying not to be sad, because she wasn't sad about the friends that she did have in Gryffindor. |

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Turn OUT! Yes! That’s it! It clicked, and it made so much more sense than all the half-right guesses she’d been throwing out. Bria could at least definitely recognize a dance term when she heard one - sometimes. "Yeah, exactly! That’s the one! One of the choreographers was a Gryffindor, just like us - though, uh, a while ago,” Bria added with a grin and accompanying giggle. After all, Elena’s dad was one of the dancers, and parents were, well, olderby definition, even if they were young at heart.
But that was all superfluous right now considering the real excitement was that there were so many exciting extracurriculars to dive into, and even if this trio didn’t share every interest, it was like they were building a well-balanced team of spellcasters who might not all use the same magic but would always be there to support each other, whether it was from the sidelines or out there in the thick of it all.
Bria smiled as she listened to Elena, smiling in appreciation at the thoughtfulness at being named after someone with meaning, a legacy attached to it. It was like being gifted a little piece of the past, a connection to something bigger - like how a family of phoenixes might pass down the same flame. 'Beloved' or 'friend' were such warm and rich meanings as well, leaving Bria to wonder what had inspired her parents to pick it buuuuut seeing as Kara didn't seem so sure on the meaning so perhaps she didn't know and Bria certainly did not want to embarrass her.
Bria couldn't help but offer a couple quick claps at Elena’s idea. It sounded so fun, but the idea of a whole bunch of people crammed into that tower did feel a little bit... chaotic...but maybe in a good way? Still, she loved the thought of making everyone feel included, especially if it meant reaching out to friends from other houses and reconnecting with those from primary school to hear all about their common rooms and stuff. The more the merrier, right? But then again...
"If we’re having it there, does it...um...is it still...will it even feel special anymore?" she asked timidly, twirling a lock of blonde hair around her finger. "I mean...in that we were at first talking about having Astronomy not in the Astronomy Tower and in here instead and...I think I've confused myself..." Bria laughed, her voice trailing off thoughtfully.
