The picture of the fat lady swings closed behind you. You see before you a pleasent room that is walled in rich mahogony, with many pleasent pictures dotting the walls. A warm fire burns invitingly in the fire place. Sitting on the thick and intricate carpets are large brown leather chairs and tables on which games can be played, or home work done.



Students often swap stories or console each other about potions class (a topic who's stories often end in the teacher being very cruel to the Gryffindor student in question) before the fire side.

There are staircases in the far right and far left corners of the common room.
