A passage that couldn't be seen before the flood of 2068-9 is now perfectly visible to all. Headmaster Bontecou once repaired it so that it no longer goes very far, but it does take you indirectly to the entrance of the Slytherin Common Room...if you aren't a Slytherin. If you are one, you'll see a new track that turns right to lead you to your common room - just what you need when you forget the password.
The passage may be dark and winding, and can occasionally smell like sewage (thanks, Myrtle), but that's no excuse for snogging down here!

Still in exploring mode, Evie fiddled with her necklace as she continued to wander around the giant castle. She hadn't heard much about the dungeons, other than that's where the entrance to the Slytherin common room was. Naturally, she was intrigued.
So, she went down as far as she could go and was tempted by the passage way she found. She peered down the narrow hall before slowly stepping in. Smelled kind of funny, but she was curious to see where it went.

Dante was on the way back to the common room to nap. This was the quickest way there. The Charms Professor room looked so comfortable. It only made Dante tired. Though he did not expect to find someone like examining the passageway. That is what it looked like to him. Or did she know the slytherin common room was down the way.
"You lost...the bathroom is that way"
Dante said pointing back where he had come from. He had no idea why she was down here. Or even if she was in Slytherin.

Evie turned around when she heard footsteps behind her and saw a younger boy pointing the other way. Bathroom?
"Oh, no, I'm not lost," she reassured the boy. You were never lost when you were exploring. Unless you were trying to get back to where you were before and really couldn't find it, but she wasn't actually looking for anything. So she wasn't lost. "And I don't have to pee." FYI.

Maybe he knew. "What's down here?"
"You sure?" Because if she was not lost and she did no have to pee. Well, that was all Dante had.
Dante looked down the passageway. "What, do you expect a giant snake is going to come down the passageway...Though i have not checked to see if there are secret passageways in this secret passageway"
Whoa.
Now that would be so awesome

... Evie squinted at him. No, she wasn't expecting a giant snake to appear. She really hoped one wouldn't, either.
"Are you sure there aren't?" Secret passageways within the secret passageway, that is. She would find out if he didn't.

"Nope, it would be fun to check and see if there are any" Dante was now energized slightly thinking about this and it sounded better than chilling in the common room. Plus even if he changes his mind. It is not far.
"What did you expect was here to begin with?"
And please don't say giant snakes.

"It would," she agreed. See, there was his sense of adventure.
What did she expect? "Nothing, really. I didn't know what to expect." Which made it all the more exciting, you know. Not having expectations meant everything was a surprise.

Yes, he did have a sense of adventure. But it had it limits if they found nothing after a certain amount of time. Then it would just turn boring. And nothing was worse than boring. "Though how would we know if we find a secret passageway. They are secret for a reason" What would they just tap on a rock and bam, entrance to another part of the castle.
.......Would be cool, though.
"Well that is one way to not get disappointed" Which means even if she finds something. It would be a success. Nice.

That portrait had riled her up. Failure? AS IF. Slytherin could never fail. Sure they had some...bumps along the road, but things still ran smoothly save for those occasional black sheep. She huffed to herself as trekked toward the hidden passage. UGH. She was so mad. Why hadn't she just hexed her?
Beverly inhaled deeply, then released slowly.
That bloody woman was just a portrait, long gone from the actual living. It shouldn't matter...but it still boiled Beverly's blood. It's a good thing her brother wasn't around or that portrait would have been set on fire.
She was so tempted.
........
Cool. She was cool. Or at least getting there. Repeating her breathing exercise, Beverly brought out the color pencil and note book. Time for some sketching. That's what she was here for.
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Aegis was glad to be out of the Corridor, he did not get a response from Culloden on if he could just flip that Portrait around to shut her up, but he just might on the way back. Instead he followed the Loud Yelling Beauty with the Green P on her Robe. Yup stick with the Leader Babes and to Hell with all Male Authority of any house, Aegis knew how to roll.
He stopped when she stopped and also took out the Sketchpad, and green pencil. drawing lines and making notes of the secret passage. "So...not so Secret Passage...huh?" it had been his first time down here, but it was plan in sight. Was there anything to note except that this was a long tunnel that lead to an Entrance. "Is that the Entrance to your Common Room?" He asked her while jotting down 'entrance to somewhere' but left enough of the 'somewhere light enough from his pencil to be erased and switched out with whatever her answer was.
He kept looking around the Secret Passage. Nothing to note, but the small hint of sewage this place gave off. So Aegis just quickly wrote in the bottom corner of the sketchpad 'where Slytherin smell goes to Linger'

If she had been alone Beverly would have drawn her wand out at the sound of footsteps behind her. She was all about that vigilance stuff, but seeing as it was that loud Gryffindor boy, she kept sketching rather than reaching for her wand. Although that was still an option. The Slytherin wasn't a fan of loud people. Some Gryffindors in particular. This guy wasn't one of them them yet.
Beverly studied the corridor before answering. "It was secret before a flood happened here," she said, making a few marks on the notebook. "It's a good hiding place." She pointed out. Or it could be used for private snogging-time. She kept that bit to herself. Maybe the passage held more secrets than they knew?
Raising her gaze to him, she tilted her head slightly. "That's suppose to be a secret." Her lips tugged into an almost smirk. It WAS supposed to be all secret and mysterious but students have ruined that, her housemates included.
So after that mental portrait told him his password was wrong. Well he walk away from it with style and made his way over to here. Though maybe he should have went the other way. He could have stopped of at the common room for a snack.Well this passage leads to the common room. So after some sketching.
That sounded like a plan.
Well seemed like he had company here. His Prefect and a older gryffindor. Huh. Well there goes his plan to go to the common room."Not like we will show you the way or anything. We have to keep some secrets"
Yeah just say something without saying hello or Hi. Sneaky is fun down here. Plus it would be fun to watch people get lost down here.
Not that Dante as ever done that

There really wasn't much else down here. Pssh yeah he knew, but he held his hands up in defense even to when the younger Slytherin came up behind him. "Hey, look I'll turn away and you can whisper your password. I'm not looking to go in there anyways." He lowered his hands, then thought. Maybe they could ask Agatha Hapgood to come out though? He'd like her company. They'd have to share and compare them later anyways right? Like what if he missed something they had. They were trying to map out Hogwarts in it's entirety right?
"Maybe something else is still hiding down here then?" Right? Like, maybe they need to feel the ways and stuff. Wouldn't that be neat, he be all like Indiana Jones, or Oakey if he kept his Job.
Something really is hiding down here that surely wasn't before: a new track turning right that leads the Slytherins directly inside to their common room . . . however, it will lead the other Gryffindor boy to the entrance of the Slytherin Common Room, just like before.
Oh look, a little Snake had joined them. A sneaky one at that.
"What do you reckon we'd do if someone tried sneaking into our common room?" she mused out loud, shooting a grin at the boy, then a more teasing one at the Gryffindor. Just setting a few boundaries. No Lions allowed inside the snake pit.
Letting her eyes wander and pretending to be sketching things down, Beverly stood in front of the track, then swiveled around, tossing her hair behind her shoulder as it followed her movement.
"What if there's another hidden chamber with..." a dragon "...another basilisk?" It didn't worry her. She was curious. Have all the great mysteries been discovered before her time?

Aegis wasn't scared of what they'd do to him if he managed to sneak into their common room. He already stated he didn't feel like it. Besides The Tower was so much cooler. By now the Lion felt like there had been enough sketching done in the secret passage. His curiosity was getting the better of him and it was fed even further with the Prefect's theories. "Why not just another Chamber? What if there was a second entrance to the same Secret Chamber" Then he had a brilliant idea. "Hey why don't we try imitating parseltongue in here?" They were in a Secret Passage revealed after a Flood near the Slytherin Common Room. It couldn't hurt...and he had two Slytherins with him.
Besides wouldn't it be hilarious to walk past this while it was happening?

Aegis looked between his two peers down with him here looking a response when suddenly he heard yet another voice behind them "Hello Mr...er Professor C!" Aegis almost let that slip out, he needed to remember that Culloden was a Professor here at School and Bart's Dad-Thing back at their home when he visits. "No, as far as I know... I don't, but I figured we could fake it. Wasn't that done during the Battle of Hogwarts?" Oh yeah wasn't Professor Culloden a Former Slytherin too? What if Aegis took a whole bunch of Snakes into the secret passage and told them to just start hissing like crazy? Maybe that'd work.
and would be even funnier than just the three of of them here
"I think we would leave that up to the Healer and Bellaire" Dante said shrugging. If he could get out of conflict he would. Though that is probably a wore fate than anything Dante could do himself. Leaving it to Queen Bellaire and The Healer.
Dante sketch some more of an random wall before hearing something about basilisk."Now that would be a fun adventure to see if there is another Basilisk here or even a Dragon!" Dragons and Toads got him excited. Fun Fact. Though Dante would probably die if he went on an adventure like that. Only a second year and had not even hit puberty yet.
"Uh, I don't know parseltongue."And he did not think making random snake noises would help. Would make him look like a fool. Though another chamber would be awesome. Leading literally deeper into the school. Oh look Professor C had joined them and he was pretty sneaky himself.
Nice job, Professor C.
"Nope, no parseltongue from me"
Dante told Professor C, repeating hat he said before. That random rock looked interesting to sketch

A second entrance? Beverly pondered on that, tapping the color pencil against her chin. That would be more interesting considering that chamber held a lot of history. Her eyebrow rose at the mention of Parseltongue, and she was about to say something when Professor Culloden joined them. HIIIII!
"It's hard to learn," she mumbled, referring to the language of snakes. "I'd take Mermish any other day." Though she was getting better at the latter, her dad still insisted she learn the former. She's argued it's an inheritance thing and he argued she can learn anything she sets her mind on, and of course she believed that.
What the Gryffindor boy said was true. Beverly has read that theory in different texts. Barrington got a genuine smile from the Prefect, though. Dragons. Now he was talking.
"Can you speak it, Professor?" She bet he could because he was the greatest. If he didn't he was still the greatest. *___*

Hady was here. She'd followed along behind her group taking down notes and making sketches as she went. Trying to keep her writing and sketches detailed and neat she took a moment to erase a bit and then redo it.
Parseltongue? Why were they talking about that? Hady shifted her gaze up from the book in her hands to everyone around her the Professor included. Wasn't that something that was incredibly rare and couldn't be taught? It was something you either knew how to speak or you didn't. At least that's what her father had always told her.
With a slight tilt of her head, keeping her mouth shut she waited on the Professors answer. For this had her seriously curious. If it was something she could learn she wanted in on it. No matter how hard it might be...plus if she could already learn advanced charms and on her own then she'd be able to learn this.
Maybe it was something she already knew. She was very close with her snake back home.
Well, good to know none of them knew Parseltongue. It was very, very rare and, to be honest, Cosgrach would be SUPER jealous if any of them could. He'd also noticed the 'Mr.' of Aegis, but was too distracted to really acknowledge it.
"Me neither," he said and shrugged. "It'd be amazing, though."He would prefer Parseltongue to any other language. Imagine that... that would make anyone a true Slytherin, for sure. He didn't say it out loud, though. He didn't want to be labeled as 'house-ist' or something.
"It was used then, yeah... but I don't know any words." Or even a syllable. So, don't look at him."Why do you want Parseltongue, anyway?" To find some secret track to this passage or something?
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
What did he want with Parseltongue. "Well if it has use no down here, because no one can speak it that's fine." Aegis said to the Professor shrugging "We thought that there might be more to this Secret Passage then just the entrance to all of your's Common Room." Aegis looked around to all of the Slytherins gathered around him Black Sheep much here Aegis? "I figured since no one knew about this passage since before a Flood the Prefect told me about." He pointed his finger at the Beautiful looking Girl with the P on her Robe "Maybe your Founder had something else hidden?"
Maybe they just needed a Book to learn how to speak Parseltongue. The Library would have one yeah? Ugh...no. Aegis had his smart time for today, let someone else go to the Library for that. Or maybe he'll just go tomorrow, or the day after. If there's a Secret down here it won't move on them.
Cosgrach shrugged at his suggestion. "I don't know..." If there was a book on Parseltongue, that is. "Let's go back into the passage and look if there's a detail that we missed?" Maybe? He shrugged to himself.
"We should move on to either my office or the detention halls." So that they could map those too, and be done.
