32.Common Room

While Bellatrix went to the dungeons when she wanted to be on her own, Rodolphus nearly always went to the Slytherin common room.
There, he got on with some of his homework in peace, but the main reason was that their was no Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs or Ravenclaws to bother him. It was very late at night and Rodolphus was sitting at his usual chair beside the fire. He was trying to finish his already late Transfiguration homework, but after four hours he gave up and began to watch the last few flames of the common room fire slowly disappear.
