Tchaikovsky is playing whilst the fire burns in the stone fireplace, red embers resemble the sun, rain tapping furiously on the window, thunder, the smell of wet earth and musk, messy handwriting, bromothymol blue ink stains on my fingers, empty glass bottles, a warm emerald green and deep blue tartan shawl,wrinkled white chemise, cold Irish breakfast tea, daydreaming into the night, warm socks, writing ceaselessly, finishing my chemistry lab report, simultaneously yearning for an archenemy to fall in love with, might light a cigarette and let the rain caress my face...
- huge windows everywhere with the most delicate curtains
- to go with the windows, a window seat for each one complete with fluffy blankets and pillows
- an entire fridge dedicated to caffeinated drinks to power through late night studying
- a communal bowl of stationery (spare parchment, inks of all colors, maybe even some “pens”)
- always smells of citrus and jasmine
- a chilling 68 degrees F (20 degrees C) to prevent sleepiness
- however if you want to sleep, help yourself to the cart of chamomile tea or melatonin gummies
- at night the room is full of candles, each student having their own scent, so the room smells like Bath and Body Works, only better
- theres always chatter happening- but its never really gossip (if you listen, you can hear the ravenclaws arguing over the number of leeches needed to concoct a polyjuice potion)
- luna is always talking to the eagle, asking it riddles
- some Ravenclaws are hosting tutoring sessions, charging the desperate Gryffindors 10 galleons per hour
- many students fall asleep whilst studying, but they have an alarm system that blasts eine kleine nachtmusik every hour
ill probably add more to this as i think of them :)
Hello! Can I have a matchup please! Preferably bedroom but if you see any kind of a platonic pairing for me I’d love that too! (🌻)
I use they/them and I’m bisexual!
I’m pretty forward and like to speak my mind, especially with my friends and partners. I’m EXTREMELY affectionate and shower the person I love with words and gifts as much as I can. Though I do lovingly bully people who I’m close to. But I make up for it with joking flirting and platonic cuddles. I’m a total brat in the bedroom, though I’m a bottom to the bone (heheh bone? Get it?) and don’t give up anything without a fight. I’m a Taurus sun and moon but a cancer rising and I’m a Slytherin with ravenclaw tendencies! In a partner I look for someone who will joke around with me back but doesn’t make me do all the work. And ideally someone taller than me since I like to feel small!
Hopefully that was enough info? I love how you run this account! Thank you!
Hello and welcome, my dear 🌻anon!! Thanks for clarifying that you'd like a male matchup - super helpful. So sorry for the long wait! Let's get right to it! ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
Here in the bedroom, I've invited over...
(Runner up: Oikawa Tooru)
Tsumu here is a playful yet steady personality. He focuses his chaotic energy into improving himself, whether it’s honing his volleyball skills or people skills, and has his moments of being a reassuring presence for the people surrounding him.
- Atsumu sometimes comes off to me as a vain person, but in the most wonderful way possible. He’s self-assured and confident, and is prepared for whatever challenges he’s faced with
- Outside the bedroom, he can handle all your little quips and teases, would definitely bite back playfully, and has no trouble welcoming your affection with open arms
- Absolutely RELISHES in your praises and gifts
- That being said
- He loves that you’re also a handful in the bedroom ( ･ิω･ิ)
- He’d be so good at taming you. You seen that thing he does with the Inarizaki cheer squad right before he serves? His COMMAND!!! Lord have mercy
- He’d have you quivering on your knees with ONLY his words
- DIRTY TALK!!! WITH THAT LUSCIOUS VOICE OF HIS!!!??? I'd CRUMBLE
- I headcanon that he’s SO GOOD at oral, both giving and receiving. Even though he’s already pretty experienced in bed, I imagine he probably has even more experience with oral, because he loves sneaking in quickies before games or in between your busy schedules
- Would degrade you every now and then but will always call you “baby” in the end
- His touch is so soft but always firm and purposeful. Knows his way around your body
- Sometimes deliberately gives you no choice but to disobey him, in ways like ramming into you relentlessly even though you tell him you can’t hold on for much longer, JUST so he can punish you
- “Tsk tsk. Now I have to punish you for being a disobedient little thing, don’t I, babe?”
- Isn’t very elaborate with aftercare, but he knows the basics and will still make sure you’re well taken care of
- He’ll turn into a big subby baby afterwards. He’ll be the one asking for affection and cuddles, burying his face in your neck and humming lovingly.

I hope you enjoyed that, my dear! Shall we head to the common room before I see you off? ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
We have some really good company here!
(Runner up: Suna Rintarou)
Our little tangerine here is fantastic at building relationships with even the most difficult of people. He’s brought out the softer sides of the likes of Yachi, Bokuto, Kageyama, and even AONE. He earns the trust of others by accepting them for who they are, and making them feel welcome enough to be themselves, all while keeping the friendships playful.
- Hinata is able to stand EVERY. SINGLE. TORMENT. thrown his way, without anything ever dampening his light
- He appreciates that you’re a straightforward and outspoken person, since people rarely even come close to matching his energy
- You could really say anything you want to him and he’d be like “haha! yes!! friend!! :D”
- He’d have his fair share of jokingly bullying you, but it will always be the lighthearted type of teasing, sometimes even becomes constructive criticism
- If you ever feel affectionate towards him, he’d match that affection with even more affection!!!!! (Tease him for being like a kid)
- LOVES your competitive, won’t-give-up-without-a-fight attitude, because that is something the 2 of you have in common. You guys would support each other and cheer each other on, whether it be during his games or in bigger things like future plans/dreams. He’d be so excited for you to achieve your goals!!

I hope that was okay, darling! Sorry we only spent a short amount of time in the common room, I tried my best to work with what I have! Please don’t hesitate to stick around and chat, and visit again anytime soon!
“technically, sleeping at night is just taking long naps in between daily tasks and routine. if you think about it, there’s no real difference between a nap and going to bed.”
– Somewhat cold, much like its inhabitants, yet never drafty. Which is a shame to some who think that in summer it’d be needed, but hah! They don’t need the draft because. the. common. room. is. always. cold.
↳ So, in summer, they don’t need to go outside (“with the peasants? No, no. No thank you”), and they don’t need to put cooling charm upon calming charm all around because it’s already so cool. so good.
↳ In winter though, that’s a completely different story. It’s so cold that risking sitting anywhere away from the fireplace is a wish to catch hypothermia.
– The aura is sleek; smooth; uncomfortable to the point of it being so unnatural for it to be so symmetrical, so perfect.
↳ But it’s fine, because once you get use to the feel, especially, then it’s one of the most relaxing places in this hell.
– The scent in the air that lingers is almost undetectable unless sought after: vanilla and the slightest hint of lavender, but that’s only for the strongest of noses.
↳ The vanilla instantly puts people at ease, and it’s so soothing that it can quicken the process of inducing sleep.
↳ There’s been increasing studies to prove that lavender oil has been found to affect the brain in such a way that it increases drowsiness.
↳ So, what I’m trying to say is that if you spend too much time in the common room, there’s a perfectly good chance you’ll fall asleep.
↳ Those were Salazar Slytherin’s favorite smells, and under the constant stress and overthinking he did, he cast a spell to forever onward carry this particular mix, which became Slytherin’s most desirable smell.
– You can constantly hear the fire crackling, from whatever corner of the layout of the common room. It’s always in the background, casting shadows with it’s green flames. Very patriotic, yes, yes.
– There’s always the sounds of distant yet unreachable music, and it usually comes from the lake.
↳ Some days, in the crack of dawn, students would awake to the sounds of the mer-people singing songs of old, - traditional ones which some Pure-Blood children have been raised with, bringing back memories.
– The layout is very complex, unsurprisingly. When you walk in, it’s overwhelming to the eye, as there’s so much space!
↳ There are at least three different sitting areas: one in front of the fireplace, (which seemed to be main attraction since it was on a raised platform, higher just about a foot from the rest of the room) with the largest amount of chairs and sofas, the second was placed around the towering book-wall, there were at least a few armchairs and couches neatly scattered around with a few side tables with notes littering them, and the third was tucked into the other corner of the fifty foot (fifteen meter) room. It had a big L-shaped couch pushed against the corner, with only two armchairs in front of it, a coffee table placed in between.
↳ For the bookshelves, and books, they were placed around in corners and sometimes took up entire walls.
– The whole roof and the walls that faced into the lake were glass, which meant they weren’t occupied with paintings or bookshelves. There were windowsills underneath them, which were free to leave people to their thoughts as they look outwards to the underwater life.
– People stare out into the lake and watch the Giant Squid and have previous nicknamed him: Inky, Squidling, Squidward (some Half-Bloods just mucking around) and the Pure-Bloods have no idea why that makes them crack-up so much.
– Most of the light is distorted from the water and casts the coolest of blues and greens across the common room, and even at night, the light was mostly reflected from the lake.
↳ There’s one giant chandelier that dangles in the middle of the common room, decorated with little, intricate details of silver weaved around the gold frame.
– The floor is tainted dark Oak wood, stretching across the whole platform, crawling up into the stairs and into dorm rooms. But there are a few fluffy green or gray carpets tucked under the couches and tables.
– There are only two pictures hung up in the common room. One of Salazar Slytherin who often disappears and only reappears at night to gaze into the fire, and the other more approachable painting was of Merlin. And Merlin was there most of the time, conversing with students, explaining certain questions to them, or telling them tall tales of his own youth.
– The decor is obviously mainly dark greens, blacks, and small hints of silver to accessorize certain objects, but there are a few golds splattered around in corners that held up the tall ceiling which held amazing details of art that must’ve been magicked because how could anyone paint something so beautiful? The art wasn’t moving, it was still as the day as it was made, but it was just as captivating as ever.
↳ The only thing that wasn’t as dark were the pillars that held up the roof (and obviously the roof, which was painted), they were light gray, encircled with charmed silver snakes to spiral upward, hissing at those who came close to the red ruby apples that were floating around the said pillars.
↳ They were actual ruby apples, made out of real rubies. Those who came too close would gain a hiss of warning, but if the student is persistent then they’ll receive a nasty bite.
↳ Only those who either earn the trust of the snakes, or can out smart the snakes, may be granted to pick a ruby apple off.
↳ There have been many injuries surrounding the snake bites, that Madam Pomfrey and other previous Matrons have gotten so sick of seeing sulking Slytherins stomp into the infirmary, admitting that they haven’t successfully gotten the apple.
