Sam walked through the hallways and crossed the ever moving stairways using the map he was given. It showed all the floors and hallways. Sam was a little nervous as he was new but then so were alot of the others as the school had only just re-opened.
Finally after getting lost and finding his way back he reached his destination. The common, common room on the third floor. To this rom there were po passwords or wards jjust a plain mahongany door standing in his way. He walked up to the door and placed his hands on the brass ring. He tok a breath and opened it.
He didn't realise his heart was pounding so much until he exhaled again. There were people there already. Gryffindors talking to Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff laughing with Ravenclaws. Seeing this made him feel more at ease. The room was quite large. It had three large windows looking out onto the grounds in in the fireplace a cosy fire crackled and swam warming the students beside it. Sam looked around and saw a couch near the fire. There was another person sitting on it but he talk to talk to someone at somestage so why not now.
Sam walked over to the couch and sat down. It was really soft and Sam laid himself back hypnotised by the fire.

Carter was walking through corridor after corridor, hallway and after hallway. He was surprised he hadn't lost himself yet. As he walked down the always-changing staircase, he remembered someone telling him about a common room where you could talk with people from other houses. He was at the floor that it was situated on, so he decided that he would check it out. He walked down the hallway, passing door after door. Until he found the one, it had the words Common Common Room emblazed across the top of it. Carter turned the doorknob, and walked in.
It was amazing! It was huge! There were four crackling fireplaces, each one on each wall. It almost looked like each wall had its own set of furniture. On wall had blue furniture near it, on had green, on red, and one yellow. They were probably to represent the house colors.
Carter didn't even realize there was a boy on a blue couch. He must be in my house, Carter thought to himself. He walked over to the couch. "Hello, are you in Ravenclaw, too?" He asked the boy. "I'm Carter Christiasen, first year."

Sam had been staring at the fire for ages when he heard some one say something to him. "Hmm what? Oh yea I'm inRavenclaw." he said scooting over to make room. He held out his had to Carter. "Hey Carter, I'm Sam, Sam Darkholm, First year too." he said with a smile. So have you been here long.
A log had fallen out of the fire and rolled towards them. Sam quickly took out his wand. He pointed it at the log which almost hit the couch. "Wingardium Leviosa" he said with the right movement. The log stopped and wobbled a little. It raised into the air. Sam pointed his wand at the fire and the log followed suit. "Sorry about that, Reflexes." he said smiling a little.

"Oh, wow. I haven't learned any spells yet!" Carter exclaimed, as Sam levitated the log and put it back in the fireplace. Carter sat down in an armchair next to the couch. He looked into the fire, the flames blazing even higher since Sam put the log back in. "You must've read some of the books already! I only started to read some of A History Of Magic" Carter said. "Did you know about Hogwarts before you got your letter?" Carter asked him.

Rose laid in a comfortable armchair next to the red colored tapestry that hung on the opposite side of the entrance. She witnessed two boys come in rather quickly, it seemed they finally found the Common room too. Rose at first was also in awe at the immensity of the room, but as the hours passed so did her excitement. "concentrate" she muttered under her breathe as she continued to read from her Charms book. Her mother was very strong on her when it came to the study of Charms, and although her mother was fairly equal when it came to rigorous work, she expected much from her daughter, as it may, Rose quickly picked her pace in the book only thinking about her regular study.
One of which was to read 3 chapters, with detailed notes and one essay due next lesson. It's her first year in Hogwarts and she was already starting to feel the weight of its infamous work. As she flipped the page she continued, " never underestimate the power of charms upon any witch or wizard, results may vary " she read very slowly. She curiously looked at it and made sure to make a note of it, by folding the corner of the page at the bottom, making sure to help her remember later in gross detail. But she couldn't help notice the boys rustle a bit more noise, which captivated her interest for the first time more than her study.

So Emily Torres had been sorted into Slytherin, that was a surprise for her. She thought maybe Hufflepuff like her sister, however she did not mind. The blonde Slytherin walked into the common common room, which may have sounded slightly funny to other people but to Emily she thought for it to be a good idea. A room where all houses can hang out. What was wrong about that? Closing the door behind her Emily looked up and saw three other students in the room. Two boys and a girl, none of them she knew. With a friendly smile Emily greeted them and introduced herself. "Hiya I'm Emily Torres." She said cheerfully.
[so short, sorry but I ain't in a good mood at the moment]

"Me and Carter here," he said pointing to Carter. "Are in Ravenclaw. Just arrived actually. Wanna join us."

Carter watch as a girl walked into the room and greeted herself to them. He gave a little wave as Sam introduced himself and Carter to her. She seemed to be Slytherin because of the green hem on her robes. She's very pretty Carter thought to himself. He looked into the fire again.
"So are you a first year, too?" Carter asked her as she sat on the couch next to Sam.

Emily smiled as Sam budged up abit so she could join them on the couch infront of the fire. "Yes I would like to join you. Thank you." Said Emily with a cute smile. She walked over and sat in the space on the couch and crossed one leg over the other. The first person to speak to her was Sam, she listened carefully and was bout to reply until Carter started speaking. Again she smiled and listened to the Ravenclaw and once he had stopped talking she answered the questions that had been directed at her. "Well I'm in Slytherin and yeah I am a first year even though I'm thirteen, but oh well nevermind." Said Emily with a slight shrug and a small giggle. "Are you two first years to?" Asked Emily looking back and forth between Sam and Carter.

(ooc: Hey Rose do you wanna jump in here, before we go on too far)
"Yup I'm in first year. Even though I'm 16. I went to school back home in Ireland but when I was told hogwarts was re-opening I had to enroll. It was really wierd being so old going into first year but I didn't really care. That talking hat was something else wasn't it. I almost jumped when he started to talk." Sam stopped talking and looked from Carter to Emily to the fire. It was dying out so Tyler reached over and grabbed a log and throw it on, making sparks fly up the chimney as it his te flames.
"So what wands do ye guys have. I never really understood how they work, but if they get the job done who cares." he said smiling

Craig walked slowly into the room. He was a shy person, in some cases. He knew he was a nice person. The thing about it is, his brain said, if you ever speak then other people will know it too. Just sit down and be quiet. Looking like an idiot Craig said in a tone so surround people looked his was for a moment "Shut up! I'll do what I want!" Then he walked over to a empty, comfy looking chair, and flopped down. Feeling a small victory and holding back a cheer. He smiled.

"So what wands do ye guys have. I never really understood how they work, but if they get the job done who cares." "I have a Rowan, 11 inches long with a Hippogriff feather core. Yeah, I don't really understand how your wand picks you, cause they say the wand chooses the wizard. What do you have, Emily?" he asked her, still wondering how a wand really does choose it's 'master' if you could call it that. [[ short again]]

Emily smiled as she enjoyed the company of Carter and Sam. "Yeah I'm 13 so I should be in my 3rd year technically, but who cares." Shrugged Emily. When she heard a boy come in and tell them to shut up she frowned and looked round. "No we won't shut up, we were here first so if you don't like it you can go." Snapped Emily. She turned back round as she heard Carter ask her what wand she had. "I have 11" Willow, Runespoor Fang wand, and yeah it is weird how that happens." Said Emily wondering how that happens. "Hey do any of you two know what there is to do around here?" She asked looking back and fourth between them.

Craig realized in a few minutes that a girl talking with two boys a few feet away had taken the idea he had told her to shut up...although admitting he was telling his own brain to shutup would be hard-he would apologize.
"Exuse me miss. I'm sorry," woah, he thought, you look just like amy, "I did not tell you to shut up, I was...telling my own brain." he said the last bit hurridly then turned and began to walk away

Sam looked a little confused as he looked between the guy who arrived and Emily. "Yea I have an Ebony wand with the hair of a Unicorn." he said proudly. He then turned to Emily who asked about having fun. "Well it is hogwarts, there should be hidden passages and dangerous rooms or something to do in anyway."
Sam then looked at the guy who was telling his brain to shut up for some reason. He smiled as he realised how funny it sounded. "Hey!" he called over to Craig. "Wanna join us."
