| | Slytherin Common Room
You walk along the dungeon corridor to a blank expanse of wall. You approach a seemingly random patch of wall and mutter the password. An open doorway appears and you step into the Slytherin Common Room.
Once inside, you see a banner with the house motto, "Attendo thea Vipera". Just below the banner is the notice board. You look around a bit more and spy the doors which lead to the boys' and girls' dormitories, a large stone fireplace, and an assortment of comfortable-looking, leather, chairs. However, the floor is a bit wet, the drapes are damp, and there's a chill in the air that doesn't seem to go away. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Former Professor Valon Kazimeriz Graduated | Kool-Aid, Oh Yeah! | | SS Mischief Maker
Kazimeriz glared at the younger man. He had half a mind to push him down the stairs. Or better yet... he contemplated a stunner. Hm.
But no. He had sworn to himself he would not cross wands with the man again on school property; he certainly would not break this vow within the first quarter. Someone had to be the bigger man, anyway. He smirked at Truebridge. "I should have known better than to expect you to behave as a gentleman, Mr. Truebridge... to let an old man have his dignity, that would be too much to ask of the Great Ethan Truebridge." He closed his eyes and turned from Truebridge, working his way slowly and awkwardly down the steps, each step feeling as though fire was being shot through his legs. Let him stare. It did not matter what Truebridge thought of him; let him admire the damage he had done to Kazimeriz, let him revel in it. He had done his job down here, and now his only focus was to get upstairs.
Oh, but if only one could apparate within the castle walls, to save him this pain, this humilitation.

He was not going to watch the man intentionally hurt himself all for pride. "I'll take that as a compliment, coming from you." He slowly began to follow, grinding his teeth. The little cat miaowed and Ethan looked down his jacket, check on how it was doing.

Kazimeriz made his way to the landing in silence, then waded slowly out of the common room. He tried not to glance backward to see if Truebridge was doing alright. After all, he didn't care, right? He almost succeeded in not looking back. Almost.
Noting Truebridge was at his heels, he made his way out of the common room, wading shakily through the water like an awkward, wounded wading bird.

Kevin said the password to the common room wall and wandered into the common room and smiled it was great to be back down in the dungeons and everything seemed to be back to the way things were before the flooding started and he was glad and he was glad to have no more stairs to climb even though the climb to the seventh floor and back was keeping him very fit

Fallon said the password and walked into the Slytherin common room. She walked and felt like she was right at home. Even though she had spent very little time down here in the dungeons, it was great to be back. She went and sat down in front of the fire place to take everything in. Things finally seemed to be going back to normal.

| A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself. waaaait? they could get back to their own common room again? totally awesome! Lyra had missed the dungeon common room for strange reasons. Even though she is only a first year and had spend more time in the Gryffindor tower than in here, she still felt like this was her Slytherin *home*. Walking towards the wall of the entrance she said the password and walked inside. Eyeing the room , wondering if anyone was here already, she caught a few other students that she didn't know but looked like they were around her year too. She walked over to the fireplace and sat down on the carpet that lay in front of it. "hey all, feels good to be back huh?" she greeted the others and made a sort of waving gesture.

Fallon looked up at the girl who had come to sit by the fire place. "Yeah. It feels great." She said answering the girl's question. She didn't know if she was supposed, but she felt like talking to someone.

| A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself. Lyra looked next to her to see another girl sitting near the fireplace too. 'thats odd i don't remember seeing her there....Lyra your with your head in the clouds way to much!' she told herself and decided to sit on her knees and looked at the girl more carefully. She looked like a first year too, maybe seconds year? "yup it does" she said, " the gryffindor beds where comfortable and the common room had a beautiful view but, yup i just like this place more." she said and stared at the fire for a moment before looking back at the girl again . "oh and i'm Lyra, by the way, i don't think i 've ever seen you before" she greeted.

Fallon smiled as the girl talked to her. "I agree. There beds were very comfortable, but I actually the darkness of the dungeons." She looked at the girl. She looked about her age. Funny. I've never met her before. "Nice to meet you Lyra. I'm Fallon."

Iris walked into the common room happily now that the floods were finally over. These floodings had seriously made her think of mermaids differently. She saw Fallon with talking with a girl she didn't know and grinned at Fallon, before yawning and deciding to go and see if their things had been restored in the Dorms'.

Fallon saw Iris come in and waved. She watched as she headed back towards the dorms. She wondered if that's where her cat was hiding now. Just as she was thinking this, Snuggles came and climbed up into Fallon's lap. She smiled and scratched the little cat behind his ears. Snuggles started to purr and laid down in Fallon's lap.

Lucy walked into the common room and smiled looking around. It was nice and dry. She was glad to be back in her own common room. Not that sharing one with the Gryffindors wasn't bad, she just thought their common room was a bit to bright. Lucy walked over to fireplace and sat down in an armchair, smiling as she looked around.

| The Kisapaths | Sila!Roti | -2 | TouchableHair | ToiletPaperGuy | QueenOfConfusion Now that she had finally somehow got used to sharing the Common Room with the Gryffindors - not particularly liked but at least got used to - they suprisingly had received their own Common Room back. Well, that was just...fantastic! Above all, everything going on around Hogwarts seemed to go back to normal.
...
Everything? No, not quite. With that thought on her mind Nancy lowered herself into one of the comfortable chairs next to the fireplace with a sigh. Not everything was back to normal. The 15 year old closed her eyes as she let the inital shock on Steven's face as Corwyn told them she immediately had to leave for the States pass before her inner eye. It had just been horrible. Just as everything had been going so well between her and Steven Corwyn had to confront them with the sad news of her leaving forever. What now? This was all just too confusing for her to understand. What were or had they been anyway? They hadn't been properly going out, had they?
Did she want them to, though? Heck yes! |

Steven walked into the Common Room with a spring in his step. He was back home, and now it was the right time to ask Nancy. Even if he was incredibly sad by the leaving of Corwyn, he knew that it was needed, she hadn't been that happy and she had missed her parents alot.
However, if nothing else, it had proved to the sixteen year old that nothing would be with him for certain. So, in the last week he had tried to talk himself into what he was away to do. Now, he was fed up and just wanted it over... Whether it was a good thing or not... Well, that would be seen in a few minutes.
With a gulp, Steven walked over to Nancy and gave her a sloppy side smile. "Hi Nanc." He said, as he said on the floor infront of her, legs underneath him. "I have a question for you." Here we go!!!!
He licked his lips and nodded a little. Unconsciously. "Nancy, would you do my the honour, of being my girlfriend?" He paused and then grinned. "Officially." He took a deep breath. There... Now he just had to wait for her reply.

Nikita literally sprung into the common room as she said the password and watched the door open. Flame, tucked safely in her arms, purred loudly. He struggled, and Nikita let him go, watching him bound up the stairs, most likely to take his customary spot on her bed.
Sitting in front of the fire, Nikita let her mind wander back to the special assembly. That had been a scare - after being yelled at by the nurse, she had waited until the last moment to run. Ushering out any leftover youngsters as she went, the Slytherin Common Room - the right one - was her first, and only stop. It was comforting, a place to worry about Professor Lupa and the Headmaster in safety.
Just now, as she was zoning out, staring at the bright flames, did Nikita realize the Headmaster had been bitten by a werewolf. Bitten. Nikita groaned and closed her eyes.

| Rotiiiii!! <3 <3 <3 The Kisapaths | Sila!Roti | -2 | TouchableHair | ToiletPaperGuy | QueenOfConfusion Nancy didn't even look up at the sound of the Common Room door opening to let yet another Slytherin into the room. She simply continued staring into the flames in front of her, without properly seeing them, though, as her thoughts were far from the fire, and to be exact the Common Room. Her mind kept on drifing off to her last birthday almost half a year ago again already. That birthday where everything changed. At least everything between her and Steven.
Shaking her head in a desperate attempt to get rid of images of her and Steven actually going out, like officially, Nancy pulled her legs up onto the chair while biting her lip. It was never going to happen. They were best friends. Best friends with benefits maybe. A kiss once in a while did not make them a couple after all. And they never would be. Somehow, though, her heart did not quite believe what her brain was trying to make her think. It just did not.
All of a sudden a quick movement diverted her attention away from the flames and to the someone who was obviously walking up to where she was seated. Her blue eyes followed Steven as he sat down on the floor before her chair. Which, somehow was a weird thing to do as he could have easily sat on the chair next to hers. This fact was immediately irrelevant, though, as she noticed that Steven was somehow nervous about something. He had a question for her?! What the-?
Blinking rapidly at her best friend in front of her Nancy gave him a warm smile as she urged him to continue by saying, "Yeah, go ahead. What's up?" What was going on? Did something happen? Was he going to tell her that they could not be friends anymore, after all? No, he couldn't. She would fight for him. They couldn't let one little kiss (or the few little kisses actually) destroy their friendship. No, no, no. That was not going to happen because she, Nancy Hudon- Gulp! Her line of thought stopped mid-sentence as she simply stared at Steven to her feet. Whut?! Had he just-? No, he couldn't have-? No, he had, hadn't he? "Your...your girlfriend?! Me?" This couldn't be real. It just couldn't be. "Steven...I...you...like..." Nancy cleared her throat slightly self-consciously before starting again without stuttering this time. "Like you mean, we would be a...a couple then? Officially?" But somehow the beam that had appeared on her face only proved that in fact this was real. It really was. ZOOOMMGG!!!! |

Steven sat infront of his best friend, silently wondering what had posessed him to ask her out. His best friend. The one person that he just couldn't lose. . . Silently he berated himself in his head, he would rather of been her best friend than have been shut out of her life and told to take a hike. He didn't think he could handle that.
However, he knew exactely what it was that had made him ask her. Corwyn. Silently, and without even meaning too, Corwyn had prooven just how horrible it felt to have some stable part of your daily life pulled out from underneath you. So, here he was, asking the unaskable question. This would either cement Nancy at his side, or it would be like a plaster pulled off too slowly, and it would tear him to pieces.
He gulped as he looked at the shocked look on her face. Oh Godd... He thought as she started to stutter. The only other time he had ever seen her stutter was after their first. . . second. . . and third kisses. He gulped. Was stuttering a good thing? He wondered as she stopped and re-started. The beam on her face made it sound like she was hopeful, yet the way that she had rephrased his question made him doubt that she wanted to go out with him.
"Well. . . I mean,. . . You can say no. . ." but please don't. He added silently. "I mean. . . If you don't want to go out with me, I won't force you. . ." He trailed off as he looked away from the blonde haired female who was silently breaking his heart and he looked into the flames. "I wouldn't make you do anything you didn't want to." He added softly.
