Slytherin Snake Pit
 

for anyone
 

Ah someone was here.

Dante maneuver so he was facing her and pointed his finger at her. "Hey you" Dante did not know her. Though she looked like a first year. He never knew. "I need your help getting up" He was feeling extremely lazy and well even with his wand on him.

He wanted help getting up and well he could get to his dorm from there.

Dante made grabbing motions at her now.

Come on he did not have all day

He Did

What. What, me? She had stopped mid-stride. What was this boy looking at... She was almost a full foot shorter than him, surely his long legs could get him around on his own?

She just looked at him for a moment, debating whether or not she should just walk away and leave his lazy bum right there on the couch... Then again, she hadn't talked to many people yet. She may as well.

Judging him just a bit, she approached and yanked him up off the couch. "You can't do it by yourself yet?" she teased/was serious.

She went back to her original task of picking up Edie and looked inquisitively at the boy. She was curious as to what he was planning to do now that he was up.

Yes you. Dante was pointing at you for a reason. Well he did like to annoy first years. But besides that he generally had a reason to annoy people.So was she going to help him or not. YAASSS she was going to help him. Dante smiled and well he did not expect her to yank him off the couch. But it was good enough.

"Nope i'm just a weak and pathetic sixth year. Thanks though I'm Dante......what are you doing"

Since it appeared she was looking for something. Not that Dante knew what. It was basically quiet in here expect for people already study in the corner over there.

Kye shook her head a little at his response. Lazy, lazy thing, this boy was. Now standing, the 6th year towered over Kye causing her to instinctively pull herself to full height.

"No ego at all, huh?..." she said, eyebrow raised. Lightening up a little she continued, "I'm Kye... I was studying in the Great Hall, but I got bored of it. What are you doing?"

He had felt the sudden need to get up, so it must have been for something.

Edie seemed to be a bit annoyed at just almost having Kye's attention and went to lay closer to the fireplace.

Please its like she did not know him. Which seemed to be true. His ego was big enough to fit in this entire common room. He just chose to be lazy when he felt like it. "Just a little ego" Also how can can you be a slytherin and not have a ego. It goes with the house. Well at least Dante thought so.

"Yeah studying stinks. I have to go get a notebook and see if some numbers match up. Problem is it is in my dorm"

He would have asked Hugo to go get it but the Prefect was probably out doing prefect things with Kaycee. Problems when two of you friends are prefects.

*joins in* Hi? x3
 

Hi hi!
 

Why else would you look at numbers. Well there was arithmancy but not a class Dante was taking anymore. So it was for betting of course. Before he could make a response they had company. Both were first years from what she was saying. Why does he always attract first years like a magnet. Obviously she was not directly talking to him because yeah no sleeping in the first years girls dorm.

Valkyrie.

What must a parent be thinking to name their kid that. Well the same could be said about Sky also. But it was only a nickname in this case. Sigh guess he will have to introduce himself again. Why cant everyone just know his name. Made things easier.

"Dante. Hi Firstie. So both of you are first years. Well i now i feel old"

Whoever wants her can claim her xD
 

Hadleigh entered the common room silently taking no notice to anyone or anything that may have already been there. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and an explosion of emotions she wasn't sure how to deal with. Her eyes held no shine or signs of laughter as they normally did.

Crossing the room slowly she grabbed her usual beanbag chair seeing as it was empty and tugged it across the room. She set it in the far corner against the wall right into of the large window looking out into the black lake. Sitting down she made herself as small as possible which wasn't to hard being as she was shortish anyhow, folding her legs up underneath herself. Leaning her head against the wall, her long hair falling in her face she stared blankly out the window before her.

Maybe she'd see something good today and it would take her mind off of other things.

Heh, Sky. Kye. Was it just her or was it kind of funny that their names rhymes? Not that she could replace Hattie because it, but it was still funny. Though Sky had to admit she kind of liked the sound of Kye's formal name. "Your granddaddy has excellent taste by calling you by your given name," Skylar nodded.

Old? Just how old WAS Dante? Even if he was a seventh year, that was still younger than her oldest siblings (Hayley and Logan both counted here). Unless of course he failed and had to retake a year. "Yes, we're both first years. And really, don't feel old. You should envy us because we have still a full six more years to savor the castle. Besides, my oldest siblings are older than you. How old are you anyway? Fifteen?" Just a guess. Watch he turned out to be seventeen.


Hearing someone else enter the common room, Skylar turned in her chair to see who it was. She recognized the older girl vaguely from classes - mostly because she always seemed strive for the best - but Skylar had no idea who she was. Staring a moment at her, Sky recognized the look as one Hayley had displayed on occasion and even Grace and Chloe. It was a look of something deeply troublesome bothering her.

To approach or not to. If she was like Grace or Chloe or Hayley, the older girl might snap. But then again, having someone to talk about whatever was bothering her might be of benefit. But on the other hand, why should she talk to a naïve first year who didn't know dragon dung and vent her frustrations to her? Because exactly that. She was a fresh listening ear.

Standing up from her chair suddenly, Sky walked slowly across the common room towards the window and plopped down on the floor in front of the window. She bit her lower lip contemplating. "Hi.... are you okay?" She muttered, barely above a whisper.

Hadleigh must've been so distracted by her thoughts and staring out blankly at the water she didn't even notice anyone coming her way. Heck, she wasn't even fully aware of the smaller girl until her view of the window was blocked.

What even?!

Why was there a child sitting in front of her blocking her view? Didn't she know she was trying to avoid the whole world, people included?

Clearly the firstie didn't know. Why else would she be talking to her right now?

Hady wasn't a mean person. Truth be told the girl didn't have one mean bone in her body but right now she wasn't thinking clearly. A sad pair of hazel eyes meet the look of the younger snake. "I'm fine, just tired..." she whispered quietly lowering her haze back down onto the floor. If only she could sleep. Lies. All of it. It was all lies.

Maybe a trip to the potions lab for some Dreamless Sleep potion would be a good idea.

For Daisy (and I guess anyone else if they feel the need to invade. lol)
 

Oh................................crud.

Cornelius' green eyes scanned the common room inch by inch. Oh Fawkes. Not again. NOT AGAIN. He patted his robes and cursed something his mum would ground him for under his breath. Getting onto his hands and knees the Slytherin boy crawled blindly across the room, bumping into legs and tables as he did.

"Mustard...MustAAARHDD!" Where the hell are you?!?!?!

He searched and searched and THUMP!!

His curly head bumped hard and straight into a chair. Cornelius Baltazar flopped onto his stomach seeing stars....

As usual, Brooklyn had let herself focus on her book more than whoever was around. She was aware of the others who were in the common room, but she was choosing to not pay attention to them. It was their choice if they wanted to interrupt her, but most people didn’t. For once, she was finding it relatively quiet in the room. It was nice, even if she didn’t expect it to last. She would appreciate what she was given, and that only let her relax. Westeros was much more interesting than Hogwarts right now, anyhow. Minus the acromantulas and rogue poltergeists, it was almost boring in the castle.

At the edges of her notice, she had heard the person calling out for someone. Aside from wondering why anyone would be named after a condiment, she hadn’t paid any attention at all. She hadn’t seen anything, so there was no reason to look up from her book. At least, not until she felt her chair unceremoniously shaken, which caused her to look up, an irritated expression in her eyes. “You should look where you’re going,” she said, shifting to lean over so she could look down at the boy laying on the floor.

Owwwwwwww.

His head hurt. Was those stars he was seeing?

The boy heard a voice and it was then that he decided to turn around onto his back. He blinked and the squinted at the redhead hovering above him. Well...he was seeing pretty girls now. This wasn't a bad thing.

"Are...are you an angel?" he croaked out weakly. His head hurt and the room was still spinning.

He was DYING.

For Ally and anyone else really! :)
 

Oliver and Mason!
 

Having spent hours baking Hady had carried what was left of the goodies laid out on a tray to the common room. Her intent here was to set it on the table and let her fellow snakes enjoy the cookies and other snacks.

After giving the password and entering the room however her eyes landed on the younger girl ripping up the carpet. "What are you doing?" She questioned setting the tray on the table and crossing the room to tap Mason on the shoulder. "Mason? Hey, cut it out you're gonna get in huge trouble!" What in the world was she doing? And why was that other kid just sitting there watching and not stopping her?!

The Slytherin female had heard the boy talk when her eyes landed on him but right at that moment she didn't answer. Her attention went straight back onto Mason and once more she was at a loss. What was this about a stone?

Hady blinked down at her friend. "A stone? What type of stone...maybe we can help you find it?" Now just stop tearing up the rugs already! And just who was Lulla?! So many questions and not enough answers.

Turning her head back towards the boy she eyed him briefly. "None of that matters. It's fine. Um...any clue on what 'stone' she's speaking about?" If not it didn't matter either. What was important was getting the second year to focus and stop acting like a mindless zombie child before she injured herself.
