A massive fireplace dominates the space in the Gryffindor Common Room. Settle yourself in an overstuffed chair in front of the dancing flames and allow the cares of the day to recede. This space is serene. The quiet turning of book pages sounds loud here, even though down the corridor you can hear lively voices celebrating yet another victory on the Quidditch pitch. Crimson and gold tapestries adorn the walls in the House of Gryffindor, representing the element of fire. The sturdy furniture, now comfortably worn, has served many generations of future wizards. Restful and secure, this room feels like home. Draw a mug of Butter Beer and relax.
