| 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. | |

| Roxanne skipped up the steps to the common room of the Gryffindor House. She was in a chipper mood, not for any reason at all. She sung a sung in a quiet but cheerful tone. | |

| Fred bound in the door through the Fat Lady's portal and then right into his little sister. "Merlin!" He yelled as he landed on his bum. "Well then, hello little Roxy! How are you today?" He just sat there, moving his feet from side to side, and smiled slightly. | |

| "Oh," she held up her hand, so not to bump on the steps. She turned around, "Fred, you alright?" she asked in his rush to come in. She held out her hand to help him up from his fall.

| "Neh neh I'm fine!" He said as he jumped up and pushed back the curled red locks off his freckled face. "So how are you my little Boxy Roxy?" He smiled and pat her shoulder before jumping over the couch and slipping into the seat in front of the fire. Cracking his shoulder, he relaxed and laid down with his feet over the arm of the chair. | |

| She laughed, shaking her head as she flopped in a chair. "Nothing really. A little bored, but having a nice day." she nods lazily. "And what of you, my dear brother?" | |

| "Your to much of a goody goody Roxy. How the bloody am I related to you!" He asked with a smirk as he took a ball from his pocket and started throwing it in the sky. Every time he caught it the little ball would light out. When thrown it would try to fly away but the wings that appeared were two sizes to small for it. A cruel little toy he made. "I'm trying to think of a new prank for the next event at school." | |

| "I am not." she huffed. "Just because I don't play pranks everyday, doesn't making me all goody goody." So, she never really did anything to get herself into trouble, which her mother would be happy to hear, but she wondered off and had a curious mind to her. | |

| He scoffed and shook his head. "Hah, does too." He shrugged, knowing that she took after mum and he dad. "I am bored...seen Albus around? Little bugger ran off earlier." | |

| She shook her head. "No. Not sense this morning in the Great Hall. Why'd he run?" She looked to Fred, "Did you do something to him?" | |

| Fred had an evil smirk. "Me? never! Hah." He started to laugh and laid his head down on the cushion as he yawned. "No I didn't do anything, not at all. "Well see he's a bastard really. I need him to do some work and he ran off thinking I'm more bonkers than normal. Go figure." | |

| "I would ask, but then again, I'm too afraid to ask." she laughed. No matter what, her brother made her laugh. He was like their father in that way. | |

| "How can i be MORE than normal? I mean am I even normal?" At that he turned to look at her, propping his head on his hand. "I don't know, really sis am I?" | |

| "Normal?" she looked to him, then laughed. She shook her head with the laugh. "Of course you're not, Fred." | |

| He nodded and laid his head down again, closing his eyes. "Good good, normal is dull and blimey if I was dull I'd off myself right now in the fire." He laughed a bit, wondering what color he'd turn into before bursting into flames. | |

| She laughs. "Hell, I'd do it for you." she joked with a smiled laugh. Bored with sitting in the chair, she walked over to the window sill and looked out to the grounds, curious what was happening down there. | |

| He laughed and opened his eyes, looking over at her. "And that is why I love you. " He forced himself to sit up and cracked his shoulder again. "Want to help me find Albus or do you have plans for the evening?" | |

| "Not going to attack him or anything?" she laughed, looking back at him. "Swear to Merlin's beard, boots, and hat?" | |

| "Only if i can keep the hat." He said with a smirk before jumping up and kicking a crumbled piece of paper on the ground into the fire. He wondered what the break was going to be like. "Going home to mum and pops while winter break comes over?" | |

| She stood as he replied to her. Fixing her skirt she looked to Fred as he asked about the Winter break. "Of course, Mum would kill me and would make you take me or send Daddy to get me." | |

| "Send my love then, I'll be staying at my apartment the whole time. Come visit if you all like." He smiled slightly but pushed himself off the arm of the chair-which he had taken to leaning on- and started to walk around as he thought of some new ideas for items in the store. | |

| "Wait," she caught up behind him, "You're not attending family stuff?" He could get away with it too. She was jealous of that. "How come?" | |

| "Work. Don't worry though, I'll have everything planned and ready for you two all to visit at the apartment. Who knows, I might just love you guys enough to clean up the place." He laughed and turned to her as he slipped his hands into his pockets. | |

| "That would be the day." she mocked a laugh. She skipped as she went down the steps to the door to leave. "So, what did you want Albus to work on?' she asked cuirously. | |

| "Oooh no you don't, even pops doesn't get to know. Its a project just he and I know about and I'm not spilling." He said as he followed her through the room and toward the Fat Lady. | |
