Common Room

Crackle.

"THAT'S SO NOT RIGHT!"

"NO!"

SNAP CRACKLE POP!
"YES!"
Serenity jumped up from her cushy armchair, grinning. And immediately sat back down, trying to find something else to occupy her time.

Rachel was down beside the fire, studying something for Divination. "She's giving us another Dream Journal to work on, and I'm trying to interpret some of this stuff," she announced.

"It's all a load of crap, you know. I want to see, let me help. It'll probably all be crap." Serenity went and sat down next to her.

"Alright," she looked down at the blank piece of parchment. "I don't usually remember my dreams, so I'll just make stuff..."

"I had a dream that a giant marshmellow was out to kill me..." she wrote down.

Five million ideas later..
"OH, AND PUT IN A PART ABOUT HOW YOUR MOTHER DIED. THOSE ARE ALWAYS CLASSIC!"

Serenity looked around. Life was so.... dull. She was an upperclassman! A reasonably pretty upperclassman! All her friends had boyfriends. They were kissing boys. It was time to get her game on!


Suddenly slamming her fist into her hand, Serenity stood up, going upstairs to try to find a notebook and write down a plan.

[FACEFRACKINGPALM]

[DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF SOMETHING?

SOMETHING POSTED ON FACEBOOK?]

[No, not really.]

[It will soon.]

Serenity came back down, flipping through the notebook seriously.

[OH GOD. NO. DON'T DO THIS.]

[.... Why?]

[JUST... I don't know, just...]

[[Don't do what?]]

[You mean that thing you posted in Etc. with Facebook?]

[... Heeheeheeehehehee.]

Serenity snapped shut the notebook and sat down, planning.

[so is it practice, then?]

Serenity sat around, sort of lounging around in a chair, too lazy to get up and go just yet- after all, it was Saturday. She was completely ready, hair brushed, down with a headband, makeup all on, wearing a blue tanktop and a pair of jeans, but it was just one of those lazy days.

Rachel curled up under a Christmas tree in the Ravenclaw common room, which was decorated with blue and bronze colored bird theme ornaments. She gently took off a white dove with blue markings on it's wings and studied it carefully. Things certainly weren't going her way today, despite the fact that it was Christmas day. Which was supposed to be the most wonderful day of the year.

Seems like the Christmas spirit flown right over her head this year, like a bird.

Robin was on her bed, reading.

Serenity was sitting on her bed, head in her hands.
"JESUS CHRIST. IT'S CHRISTMAS, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS BEFORE?! URGGHH." She quickly went around her closet, finding her friend's sizes, and sending out the gifts, wrapped hastily in brown wrinkled paper, by owl.

Rachel-
For this, Serenity just put the package on her bed. Inside were a few pairs of shoes that she had wanted, and a cute blue and silver striped baby doll top, along with a bundle of jewelry.

Robin-
Again, Serenity set out the package on the bed. Inside was an ivory hairbrush, a bit of natural-toned makeup, and a Ravenclaw scarf.

Kelsi-
Serenity sent out an owl for hers, the package simply containing a couple sweaters and a pair of neon yellow heels, the heel part made of cork, but the straps and everything neon yellow.

Olivia- Serenity sent off this owl first, the top of the package containing a note that said "Sorry, ~~~~Serenity." Inside the package was a pair of slightly faded jeans, and a green blouse, subtly increasing chest size, along with jewelry.

Amanda- Serenity sent Amanda all the clothes she could fit into one package- varying shades of the rainbow, all in sizes much larger than Serenity's own, as Mandy was taller. She figured it would compensate for how rude she had been earlier that year, and sent along a pair of black pump heels too.

Libby-
Serenity sent Libby a few bland necklaces and a t-shirt.
[Sorry if I missed.]

"OHHHHHH!" Serenity said, taking out the dress. "This is GORGEOUS!"

A small note was attached to it.

I'm glad we've gotten over our rough patch, and cheers to a new beginning.

Serenity threw out the package and spun around the room in her dress.
