| Gryffindor Tower is located behind the portrait of the Fat Lady on the Seventh Floor of Hogwarts Castle. A password is required to enter it, which is spoken to the portrait. A circular hole is behind the painting, leading to the common room, which is a circular room where Gryffindor students can relax after a long day of studying. The common room is full of squashy armchairs, tables, and a bulletin board where school notices, ads, lost posters, etc. can be posted. A window looks out onto the grounds of the school, and a large fireplace dominates one wall. The common room is usually where celebration parties are held after Gryffindor Quidditch victories, or when Harry Potter completed a task for the Triwizard Tournament. It was also the location for Harry and Ginny Weasley's first kiss following Gryffindor's Quidditch Cup victory in 1997. The common room fireplace was used on several occasions by Sirius Black to contact Harry while he was on the run from the Ministry of Magic. The Gryffindor dormitories are also located in the Tower, with two doors leading off from the common room that open to spiral staircases. One of them leads to the girls dormitory, the other to the boys. The stairs to the girls dormitories are enchanted to become a slide if any boy attempts to climb them, but not vice versa, since it was deemed that girls were more trustworthy than boys, although Hermione went into the boy's room once. | |

| Sirius ran down the stairs from the boys' room to meet up with James and Remus outside. He was about to reach the Fat Lady when red hair caught his eye. Smirking and giving her a side glance, he slipped toward the couches silently. Reaching over her and grabbed the book quickly, he started to examine it, making sure to stay out of her grip. "Ello there Lily, whots all this?" | |

| "Hey!" she jumped up trying to get her book back. "Ooo, you're such a pain Sirius." she huffed. "Give me back my book." she ordered, but in a pleaded voice as she looked at him. | |

| He jumped away from her as he flipped back the books binding to read the cover, holding her place with his curved fingers. Using his other hand to push back his hair, Sirius scoffed and looked at her again. "What a little-" He held his tongue for only James sake if anything. "pet. Why are you so very studious. Don't you know how to have any fun?" He tossed back the book to her, not minding her place any more, as he hopped over the back of the couch and sat beside her. Putting one ankle on his other knee, Sirius smirked at her. "So, whats watcher Evans doing?" | |

| "I have fun." she snapped, teasingly sticking her tongue out at him. "But you are aware that we're at school; have to study some time." She rolled her eyes as she shook her head to him, "Sometimes I don't know why I'm friends with you." She laughed, shaking her head. | |

| "Study smuty! There's no point in it if you can't have fun! Wot do we get? A bloody month or two to ourselves? And wot then? Nothing to do but go shuffle with muggles for you and I get to house skip. No, school should be fun!" He relaxed, putting his feet up on the table in front of him, and laid his head on his arms behind him. | |

| She laughs. "Muggles aren't all that bad," she defended her family. Though, the relationship between her and her sister were not so well; not for quite some years now. She shook her thoguhts of it, then looked to him. "Well, what do you suggest I do, hmm?" | |

| "Have bloody fun! Forget the books. Blimey Lily come out with James and the rest of us to Hogsmeade this weekend, lets show you a good time!" He said with a smirk. In the back of his head he hoped Severus followed them so he could chase the ratty slytherin into the woods again. | |

| "And if I invite Severus, will you boys behave?" she looked at him with that type of look that said "No killing each other or pranks or any of that". | |

| His hands behind his head crossed slightly. "Of course flower." He said with a grin. "Wouldn't dream of hurting sniveling Severus." He laughed again and cracked his shoulder again. | |

| She glared at him a little, "You boys need to play nice. Severus is a sweet boy. Sometimes more than you and James." | |

| "Yeah yeah you never shut it about him. Bloody, do you love 'im then Lily? Do you love the Slytherin rat?" He started to laugh and closed his eyes as he crossed his ankles and faced the fire. | |

| She shook her head at his statement. He just didn't understand that he was a good guy, no matter his House. Shehoped she'd put that in their heads. Lily befriended mostly boys, so dating one of them never really crossed her mind. | |

| "Whatever whatever, I'm going to slither on out of here." He winked and jumped up. "Oh," He said as he had just passed her. Looking over his shoulder, his face grew grave. "Remember, those of Slytherin aren't as kind as you think. Take my brother for example." With that he slipped out of the room and started looking for James. | |

| There was good in everybody, she was sure. And people dismissed the good in Slytherins because they were thought to be snakes. But she knew Severus before they even attended Hogwarts. Sirius was wrong about him. She sighed with him leaving. She looked to the book a moment before picking it up. She found her spot and began to read where she left off. But her eyes only stayed on the page for two sentences, before she closed it with the marker in it's place. Now, not being wanting to read. She looked around, thinking of what to do. "Oh, Merlin," she said in thought as she left the book on the stand, then went for the stairs. Damn Sirius; he made her bored with reading, and made her want to go off and do something active... | |
