Down the long corridor to the left are the boys' dorm rooms. Torches light the way allowing you to see the many portraits of Slytherin alumni lining the walls. You'll want to be careful what you say or do here as these portraits aren't here just for the decor. There is a dorm room for each year of the house. Students, you will find many four poster beds, all draped with green curtains. Be sure to stake your claim on the bed you want before someone else gets to it first.
Be aware, this Dorm is for Slytherin BOYS ONLY. Each room has a charm placed on it that will alert on any presence of girls. Consider this your final warning. Any girls caught trying to get in here WILL face the wrath of Mister McLeod.

Keep, not borrow. Dalton gulped slightly before looking back up from the back in his hands and grinning broadly, grinning properly at Ollie. He didn't know what he'd ever done to deserve the other boy's kindness, but it was happening and so Dalton just made a mental note to pay the boy back, some way, some how.
Beginning to transfer his his things from the broke bag to Ollie's, the fifth year stopped as movement near the door caught his peripheral vision. "Ollie, mate -" 'cause they were totally mates now, it was decided. "- what the -" POINTING pointing at the door. And the creatures that were now running around the other beds.

Ollie was really confused as to why Dalton looked...scared...or shocked or something. But as soon as he pointed towards the door, he turned around and saw a few nifflers fighting over someone's robes. ....no wait. HIS ROBES. "HEY! Those are mine!" He waved at them to try to get their attention, hoping maybe they'd just...stop. Though he really did know better. "Hellooooo! LITTLE GUYS. Or girls. Whatever. THAT ISNT YOURS."
Oliver looked back at Dalton and then at the nifflers again, unsure of what to do really. "You think if I grab one or two you can grab the other and we pull till they let go???" He didn't want to hurt them, they were too cute. He just wanted his robes and his money back!

Scrambling to his feet and joining Ollie in the middle of the room, Dalton's expression was of sheer shock and confusion. "What... What are they?" Because they looked a bit like badgers, but badgers didn't have that weird snout thing, nor did they run around ruining peoples things.
That he knew of. Maybe the Hufflepuff's planted them.
"Yeah, sounds like a plan." Dalton nodded at Ollie and then began to circle around the back of one of the animals, hoping to pounce from behind. "On three?"

His idea FREAKING worked and there was a niffler inside the cage and WHY WAS HE SO EXCITED. It wasn't even his, though, they should share fifty percent parentage.
"We did it, Jaemin! We did it!" The boy beamed from ear to ear. Look alive, buddy! Cornelius wiggled a finger against the cage. "Hello, there. That's--" he pointed at Jaemin "daddy #1 and I'm daddy #2." Getting introductions out of the way and all.
Cornelius took a quick glance back at the door. "Want to catch more? If not you should make a run for it before our Head of House comes in here and decides to let it free." He was NOT risking their triumph just to get caught.
He was so shocked and beside himself that Jaemin wasn't even concerned about the idea of being Dad #1 to Corny's Dad #2. The diminutive Slytherin stared at the niffler in the cage, unconsciously holding his breath because some part of him was so sure it was going to suddenly... phase through the cage bars or something, and escape.
Cornelius's words, however, snapped him back to reality and Jaemin very suddenly jerked his head up to look at the other boy. Nobody was taking his new pet away from him! NOBODY. D: He shook his head furiously and held out his hands for the cage.
"We can put him in Sniffler's hedgehog hutch. There's lots of space for him in there and he can hide in the little house..." he looked at the few nifflers still lingering and wrinkled his nose at them. "One is enough. One is all I need."
ONE WHOLE NIFFLER. They could just... chase the rest out. He looked at Cornelius, grinning excitedly and bouncing on the balls of his feet. This was so great. SO GREAT. This totally made up for not catching a niffler in the kitchen last term.

"They're called nifflers. I've never actually seen them in person though." Ollie vaguely remembered reading about them some time last year but he just assumed they'd never end up in Hogwarts. "They like shiny things and I left coins in my robes, apparently. They're the worst." He was sure they were okay when there weren't any shiny things around but he could only imagine how hard it probably was to have to remove all shiny things from your life to keep a niffler as a pet.
Oliver followed Dalton's movements and rounded the group of nifflers on the other side. He hoped more than anything this would work. "On three. One...two..."

"What should we name it?!"
While Jaemin was in Lala Land, Cornelius stuck a finger inside the cage and petted the niffler. AWww. It was sort of cute. He could see why Jaemin seemed to be obssessed.
"We can also charm it bigger," he reminded Jaemin. Wizards, heeello.
Following his friend's gaze, Cornelius sighed in relief. "Oh thank, Merlin. One IS enough. And by the way, I'm not cleaning up its pee." It was starting to smell. Cornelius normally didn't mind funny smells but anything that had to do with pee or poo, no THANK YOU. He had a babe Mallory at home to deal with that. Babies.
"Niffly. It's endearing and that way it gives people a hint of what he is in case they don't know what a niffler looks like." He wiggled his dark eyebrows. Clever wasn't it?
He'd held nifflers before, in Professor Draper's creature barn thing. He'd played with them and everything. But this was the first time he was holding a niffler that he had decided was his, and that made all the difference. Jaemin gently stroked the little creature, careful not to drop it as it moved about a bit and sniffed at him; he didn't have shinies in his pockets, not right now. Nothing to offer the little-
He tensed up when the niffler leaped out of his arms, stomach giving a lurch because his immediate fear was that it would run away forever. WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. One hand jerked after the niffler automatically, but it withdrew just as quickly and he let out a quiet gasp when the niffler settled right into the cage in Corny's arms.
"It... it..." he spluttered, immediately reaching to push the door shut. Just in case. He looked at Cornelius, eyes wide. "We caught it!"
THEY HAD REALLY CAUGHT A WHOLE NIFFLER. The small boy was too stunned to properly react with the joy he should have rightfully been feeling.

Christened Niffly, the creature sniffed the finger jabbed at him through the cage, feeling quite content despite being in the cage because of one fact alone: the gold.
He was curled up around it. His shiny. HIS SHINY. NO ONE TOUCH THE SHINY.
But he did accept pets on his head.
SPOILER!!: Oliver and Dalton

The rest of the ones residing in the Slytherin boys' dorm had gathered the shinies they had found and headed for the door, but not before one of them ran headlong into one of the human!boys [Oliver].
OOPSIES.
The young niffler shook its head and then followed his fellows out of the dorm...snatching up a watch of some sort as it went.

Niffly worked for him. Jaemin stepped up closer to Corny and the cage and very carefully opened the door just enough, reaching a hand in to stroke the niffler's back as it cradled the coin. He was gonna have to get sooooo many shinies for their new baby pet. SO MANY. The small Slytherin grinned up at Cornelius, obviously extremely unconcerned with niffler pee.
"We can make this cage bigger, that works. That way Sniffler doesn't have to give up his big hutch." The hedgehog would likely be unhappy about that. "We can put the clothes in the laundry and I can clean up the drawer... there's spells for that."
Wizards, hellooooooo.
He wasn't sure how anyone could possibly not know what a niffler looked like, but... maybe it was just he who was obsessed with them. He stroked the niffler's back some more, humming happily.

OOPSIES.
The young niffler shook its head and then followed his fellows out of the dorm...snatching up a watch of some sort as it went.
"Nifflers. Right." Dalton managed a nod, contemplating that he'd asked a stupid question - it didn't really matter what the things were called, because they were still destroying Ollie's robes all the same. "I don't think I like them." That point, however, was very valid, and he wrinkled his nose slightly, as if to emphasis it. The Wizarding World just got weirder and weirder with every passing year, he couldn't help but think, creeping closer to the animals.
"... three." Lunging forward, Dalton completely missed the nuisance, instead landing on his front, clutching Ollie's robes and feeling his hand graze fur as the Niffler ran past him and out of the dormitory. Biting his lip and rubbing the shoulder he'd landed on to prevent himself from shouting expletives, Dalton scrambled to his feet and inspected the other boys uniform. "Reparo," he said, quickly directing his wand at the pocket the animals had ripped off. "I think you're still going to need to give them a wash, though."

THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON. But right as Dalton called out three, Oliver noticed the nifflers were already on their way out so Ollie didn't even bother lunging for them, unlike his fellow dormmate, sadly. As Dalton fell forward and pulled on Ollie's robes, he began to fall but not before a niffler ran straight into him, forcing him down all the way to the ground. Though the niffler was small, the impact was still quite painful and Oliver hit the ground with a thud. Before he could even try to grab the niffler that had run into him, however, it was already up and running out of the dorm towards his friends, taking with him one of his favorite watches. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS." What were the chances this would even happen right now? And Ollie didn't even care about the money, he just really loved that watch.
Oliver groaned and just layed back flat on the ground, giving up for just a moment as he felt a headache begin to grow at the back of his head. A small smile grew on his face though when Dalton repaired his pocket and commented on needing to wash his robes. "I guess it could've been worse?" He knew a watch wasn't something to be so upset about, after all, they were completely okay aside from his head. It just really sucked, that was all. "Though I did just do laundry yesterday." And he sure did hate doing laundry.

After the nice time spent outside, Jaemin was... exhausted. Beyond words exhausted. The small boy had maxed out his energy for the day, as he had been doing every single day since the incident in January, and he very definitely needed to go to bed. His assignments were yet undone, but... well he could get up early and worry about those then, or between classes the next day. Sleep needed to be had now.
He was carrying his pet rock still, carefully cradled in his arm against his chest, as he headed for the common room - he didn't pause to show any of that to Gom, because he spent so little time there that it didn't much matter. Instead he headed right back to his dorm, yawning softly and shuffling right over to his bed.
"This is my dorm. I share it with a bunch of other people and they're noisy sometimes, but don't let them bother you," he murmured, setting Gom down on the bedside table. Exactly where he had spent the time between now and the lesson in which Jaemin had collected him, he reminded himself with a pang of guilt. Poor Gom. "Over there is Sniffler's hutch... that's where Corny sleeps, over there, and those beds are everyone else's. You'll see."
He pulled his legs up onto the mattress and curled them under himself, trying to think of other things he should show the rock. But really... there wasn't much here that needed showing. He reached to rub one of the pipe cleaner ears and sighed softly. Soon his new pet would see his proper home. That would be better. And maybe they would just stay there forever.
"I'm really sleepy," he mumbled, voice giving a strange twinge as he spoke. Absently he rubbed his throat and flopped over into his pillow. "You can go to class with me tomorrow and stuff, and see everything all around the school. And then in a little while we can go home properly. You'll like it there more." His words were getting all sleep mumbly now. Hopefully he'd remember to put this in his journal tomorrow... "Nobody sends love potions to home... or freezes me there..."
And he was out, with Gom stalwartly sitting guard on his table right next to him. What a good pet.
