In her excitement, Willow tripped while getting up, almost falling to the floor. That caused an outbreak of snickers, which she ignored and hurried to catch up with the fellow Gryffindors. She followed Professor Weasley to the common room, smiling at some of the moving portraits on the way. Enthusiastically, most waved back and beamed. As the staircase moved, Willow saw out of the corner of her eye some first years freaking out. She laughed to herself, remembering when she first felt the staircase move. She almost fell off!"This year's password: Lemoncake." Professor Weasley announced as the portrait swung open and students began flooding inside. Willow stayed slightly behind, biting her lip in thought as she repeated the word to herself.In her thoughts she accidentally bumped into someone. Looking up, she recognized it to be one of her classmates um...Raymond! She blushed, looking down at her shoes, "S-sorry...."

It was like coming back to home. Students already filled the chairs, some pulling out wizarding cards and starting to trade, others were posting news on the bulletin board. Raymond was then run in to. He moved a bit, and turned to see Willow apologizing. He gave a smile. "It's alright, no harm done..." He then paused for a second. "Look... I'm sorry for what happened back in the train. I just kinda invited myself in to the compartment when there was obviously too many people." He really did feel bad about doing something like that. "I guess the excitement from coming back, and seeing everyone, made me a bit oblivious. If you need anything, or if anyone's bugging you, Gryffindor's got your back. We'll put them in their place." He gave an assuring smile.

A prefect walked in, yelling at first years to stop jumping on the chairs, and telling everyone that if they needed anything, just them him know. He then looked towards the door to see Sam. Even after years of being with her, a part of his courage left him, meaning he still was very much attracted to the brown haired Gryffindor. He waved her over to join Willow and him.
