4th floor common room, Monday Afternoon

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

Neville was trying to spend as much time out of his room as he could. Hermione had cast a protective spell on Trevor, so he would probably be all right, but just in case his room mate got mean, Neville had put Trevor in his cage and taken him with him to the common room.

It didn't look half as inviting as the Gryffindor common room, he decided and looked around. It didn't even have a fireplace!

There were lots of interesting muggle things though. He put Trevor down on the table and went to study the big black box curiously. He couldn't figure out what it was for. Some sort of mirror?


ooc: Open like an open thing!

"Hey Neville, gonna watch some TV?" John said, having found his way into the common room for some entertainment.

"What's teevee?" Neville asked, turning away from the big black thing. "Is it a game?"

Adam walked into the common room, looking for something to drink and feeling slightly nervous about his date with Eve that was taking place later on.

Neville looked up as a boy entered and tried out a friendly grin. "Hello!"

Jim walked up to the fourth floor and saw activity. It had been too long since he hung out in a common room, so he wandered in. "Hey, new guy. Nice frog."

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

"It's a toad," Neville corrected. Important distinction. "Hello, I'm Neville. Longbottom. From Hogwarts, in England. Who are you?"

A.J. jogged (yes, jogged) down to the common room to grab something hopefully delightfully unhealthy to counteract all his secret morning jogging expeditions and bounced, slightly, on his way over to the fridge. He gave the new kid a nod and a "Hey," before riffling for food.

Neville nodded back hopefully. At least most people here seemed friendly. Unlike his room mate. "Hello. Um. What are you doing?"

Marco had gotten bored in his room, so he wound up in the commons. "Did someone loose the remote control again?"

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

Neville just gave him a confused look.

Mac wandered in, making a beeline for the coffee, as usual.

She waved a greeting at the room in general, noting that she knew barely anyone in there. Six weeks changed a lot of things, apparently.

Neville gave the girl a shy wave back.

Despite being a little worried about Cass and whether she managed to enroll, Hermione was still in a little happy place thanks to the fact that her best friends were not actually going to school with her, but one was living right across the hall. Which meant no boxes of dildo cozies would ever, ever get put outside the door again, under any circumstances.

So when she wandered up to the fourth floor, she was glad to see Neville there. "Having some trouble?"

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

"Hermione!" Neville went over to her and lowered his voice. "You have to teach me everything about muggles right now. They keep looking at me, and I didn't know what the teevee was or the refrigerator or... or... and they must think I'm slow!"

"Hey, Hermione-bra," Jude greeted her mellowly, having performed his usual combination of luck and skateboarding talent to arrive in the common room in one piece.

Rodney wandered in with the sort of glazed look on his face that meant he'd probably spent more hours in front of a computer than doing anything else for most of the weekend. He went straight for the coffee and didn't even look at the people around him until after his first drink.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey Rodney, how's it going?" John asked his friend after watching him practically pour coffee from the pot into his mouth.

[smartestone]

"Hi, Rodney," Hermione greeted him with a little wave.

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

"Hello?" Neville tried. "Are you having tea too?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude."

The sound seemed to start somewhere down the hallway and ended with a rather spectacular collision with the back of a sofa that somehow ended with Jude sprawled comfortably across said sofa with his skateboard in his hand.

Neville stared at the suddenly appearing boy in amazement. "...Hello?"

Sure, Karal had said that there was food in the third floor common room, but he knew for a fact that there was food in the fourth floor one. Maybe was beaten by the definite call of food and Sulley approached cautiously. He heard people in there. He peeked around the corner of the door frame. Wow that was a lot of humans at once. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

His stomach growled in disagreement. Now all he needed to do was work up the courage to do more than peek inside.

John peered interestedly at the doorway, wondering if his eyes were deceiving him.

Johnny entered the common room and made a beeline for the coffee machine. It was only after pouring himself a big cup of coffee that he paid attention to anyone else in the room.

"Anythin' good on?" he asked.

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

"On what?" Neville asked.

Harry had been out exploring (and being traumatized by the sight of long-dead classmates, but same thing in his book) and found himself in the common room of the fourth floor, a concept still unfamiliar to him. What was with this 'floor' business? What about houses?

He gave a little wave to the room.

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

"Harry!" Neville yelped, nearly dropping his mug of tea. "I didn't know you were coming here!"

[multiplez]

Z wandered up a floor and into their common room, looking for people.

Oh, look, people. And one person in particular. "Hey, little brother-type."

[future-champion.livejournal.com]

"Z!" Neville gave her an excited smile. "I found the common room!"

Sokka sped down the stairs and out into the common room. He was trying to teach Momo Jr. to ride on his shoulder, and had found that the chinchilla clung to his shirt tighter -- and was less likely to fall off -- when he was moving faster. He hadn't quite processed that this was because he was scaring the furball half to death, but he'd get there eventually.

Right now, however, he noticed the gathering and stopped abruptly. "Oh, hey, people!"

Of course, stopping abruptly wasn't a good idea. A combination of Fandom-inspired physics and natural comedic clumsiness resulted in Sokka's shirt coming off and hanging from one arm, with a very disgruntled chinchilla clinging upside-down to the bottom of it.

Neville stared. Was that a funny looking rat the boy had? "Hello?"
