AN: The next chapter, hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don´t own Harry Potter, if I did then nobody would have died and Harry would never had married Ginny.
Warning: I have not told you earlier but I think this story will become slash eventually. Not sure yet. For those of you that don´t know what that is, it´s homosexual relationship and I hope nobody will abandon the story because of it.
Chapter 7 Group dynamics
The stunned silence that was echoing in the Slytherin common-room was almost thick enough to take from the air. Harry released his grandpa with almost reluctance and beamed at him before being turned around and his ancestors arm over his shoulders. Soon everyone's petrified state loosened and Professor Snape, with almost reverence in his voice, asked
"My Lord Slytherin, how is it possible? You here, alive?"
"Dear Severus, you don't have to be so formal, in my own house all of you have the right to call me by my first name. And to answer your question, I´m dead. It´s only my magical soul left in the castle, my body is long gone." Salazar's voice was regal but held so much warmth and joy that it went almost unnoticed. "You could say I'm a very special kind of ghost," Salazar continued. "The other founders are also here somewhere also but they are waiting for their heirs."
Soon everybody went back to normal, or as normal as it could be with their long dead founder in their midst. They wanted to ask both Harry and Salazar about everything but they were Slytherins and had control over their mouths, not like those Gryffindors. The time went fast and soon everybody was going up to their beds. Harry saying goodbye to his grandfather and soon he was sleeping in the bed with the green bedding.

The next day shined bright and you could hear groans coming from the beds in Slytherin. The magical light from the windows was shining right in the faces of the room´s occupants. Harry was just grinning at the rest of his peers, he had woken about an hour before now and now he had a lot of fun watching his fellow Slytherins waking.
"God morning." He said in a chipper tone.
"Who hit him with a cheering charm?" was heard from Blaise´s bed.
"Naw, you should know that it´s just an hour left until classes start and if you want breakfast you should get out of bed." Harry informed them with the same chipper tone.
After that statement it was quiet a short moment before all the boys, except Harry, was out of their beds and in a mad dash to try and get ready before school. Harry couldn´t help but think 'and I thought Gryffindor boys were rowdy in the mornings.'
The rest of the day went much calmer then the morning and Harry was relaxing, getting to know his Slytherin peers on a more personal level. Over the course of a few weeks he learned a lot about the Slytherins, things nobody could even imagine that the cold and evil Slytherins would feel or think about.
He talked to Pansy Parkinsson and Daphne Greengrass getting to know the girls and he learned that Pansy was so mean against others because of her own insecurities, they had long talks about how she felt about herself and it was in her that Harry confined how bad the Dursleys had been. They got a deep bond over their shared stories and after that conversation you could almost always see the two of them together.
With Daphne it was a different relationship that occurred, he was one of the few that got around her Ice queen persona and behind that wall she built was a nice and really funny girl that Harry liked to know more of. It was thanks to Harry that Daphne in the end even let the wall between her and the rest of Slytherins fall. He had a long talk with her and after that she did let her wall fall more and more until it was gone, at least in the presence of her house-mates to the rest of the school she was he usual self. The both of them had a grudging respect for each other and blooming relationship that made them the best of friends.
With Blaise Zabini it was an easy story, both of them had the same humour and they got many stinging hexes sent their way when they went into a conversation on their own. Nobody could understand them when they were talking to each other. It was like they did develop their own language of sorts, were the half of it was with understanding the others body language and their own glances. They could talk for hours with just their eyes and it was annoying for the rest of their friends. They were almost as bad as the Weasley twins in their communication.
Theodore 'Theo' Nott was very quiet and Harry could relax in his presence. They had this sort of relationship were they could sit quiet for hours reading or playing chess, giving small comments occasionally. Together they were the brains of the group; they could also be seen having heated discussions about their different school works or other things they were reading together.
Draco was a more different story, because of his and Harry´s past rivalry they both had a rocky start but soon they found common ground and could be seen together at every corner of the school. And Harry was reluctant to admit it but he was having a small crush on the blond.
So if Harry were to have a conclusion of the group-dynamic he would say that Draco was the leader of the group, but he had Harry as second command, like his queen even if nobody would say it out loud. With Pansy it was clear she is the mother-hen, because of her caring nature and always doting on them when she felt they weren't up to their usual selves. Daphne was the big sister nobody of them had, she was accusing her own place as older sister to Astoria, but they knew she was just happy to look out for them. Blaise and Harry both had the place of jokers in the group, they always could get the rest to laugh if they had a bad day and both of them were the little brothers of the group. And Theo would be the silent but strong big brother type; always watching out for the others but doing it from the shadows. He was their rock and their source of comfort in hard times.
An: Hope you liked it and I´m looking forward to the reviews.
