Author's Note: If you haven't already, I suggest you re-read the first chapter! I've added a poll to my profile concerning the Gryffindors and whether they should be friends with Georgina. Here are my ideas if some of the characters get voted in:

Ginny Weasley- She'll probably be a friend with Georgina during her 2nd year, when she hardly has any friends and the Golden Trio doesn't really hang out with her.

Fred and George- They would probably be friends when Ron and Georgina get into a fight and she really chews them up.

Percy- He'll probably be really mean to her in the beginning, but when he disowns his family, he'll ask Georgina for help.

Lavender/ Pavarti- They might be a partner on an assignment and they'll finally see eye to eye.

No one else besides Harry- I don't mind if no one else likes Georgina, because then I get to terrorize them more!

Please vote in the poll! I'll need the results pretty soon, but I'll try to keep it long so I can get a lot of votes in!

Chapter Nine: The Snake's Den and the Lion's Heart

A handful of older students, including Flint, let the first year Slytherins to the Common Room, which was in the dungeon. They stopped by a dead end and Flint said "Pureblood" loudly. Like Diagon Alley, the bricks moved, but it was a lot faster. Inside, was a room, probably the common room.

The Prefects led the students in, as they stared in awe at the Common Room. It was a dark forest green, with a stone fireplace and several high backed chairs and sofas around it. Overall, it was quite roomy, and there was a bulletin board with several flyers on it already. Two medium sized bookshelves were in the corner, and a few coffee tables next to them with comfy looking chairs. Hanging lamps let out a pretty light, just enough to be bright, but not too bright. Georgina assumed they were underneath the lake. There were different archways leading to the Dormitories.

"Thank you, Prefects for leading our new snakes to the Common Room," a silky voice said from the entrance. Everyone turned to look at him. It was Professor Snape, their Head of house.

"You are Slytherins, your house is a place of pride and power, unity and strength, and cunning and ambition. As you might have already noticed, we are the least liked House in Hogwarts, which means you all will eventually fall victim to suspicion and fear from your fellow classmates. Let me tell you now: outside of this Common Room, you will act as one body, one house. You must be united, or the other Houses will pick you off. Unity is strength, always remember that."

"Mr. Flint! What is rule number one?"

"Yes, sir. Rule number one: Slytherins are the house," Flint answered proudly.

"Right, this means you must always take pride and unity in your House. I don't care if you hate someone's guts. Hate them in the Common Room; stick up for them outside, got it? If someone needs assistance, you will assist them. This also means you must conduct yourself with great maturity in public at all times. We are not sloppy Gryffindors, we have manners and morals, remember that," Professor Snape said, pacing in the Common Room.

"Higgs! Rule number two!" barked Snape.

"Rule number two! Don't get caught." Replied Higgs.

"Good, you can do whatever you need to do here, but do not, under any circumstances, get caught. You can pass notes in class, make fun of your teachers, sneak out from curfew, but keep it sneaky and stay smart. If you are caught, don't argue. Try to lose the least amount of points possible, because many teachers are reluctant to give Slytherin points anyways. Get a detention instead.

"There are more rules that are posted in each dormitory, and I highly suggest you reading them. Since the dungeons are so spacious and there are not many Slytherins, there are usually two to three people per room, and each year has their own dormitory. Boys are not allowed in the girl's rooms, and vice versa. There are bathrooms in every dorm, but you must negotiate shower schedules with your fellow dorm mates. Welcome to the Snake's Den," finished Professor Snape, while the Slytherins clapped quietly.

Georgina couldn't believe it. Slytherin was actually a pretty nice house. Of course they had a bad reputation, but there was unity and ground rules. They were quite fair, too.

"Come on," Pansy urged, "let's go see our room assignments!"

"Wait," Professor Snape interrupted, "I believe the Headmaster would like a quick word with Miss Vixen first."

"It's alright, Pansy, I'll be back soon and hopefully, I'm rooming with you!" waved Georgina, following Professor Snape out the Common Room.

"The entrance to the Headmaster's office is on the seventh floor, come, I will show you the way there." Snape said awkwardly. The journey was mostly in silence, since Georgina stared in awe at Hogwarts, noting the interesting looking places.

Finally, they reached the Gargoyle that guarded the Headmaster's Office. Professor Snape said the password, which was "Chocolate Frogs," and pulled her aside once the Gargoyle leaped aside.

"If you wish to have any secrets, do not look the Headmaster in the eye. I will wait here until you are finished. Go on," he urged quietly.

Slightly unnerved by this, Georgina bit her lip and walked up the stairs, knocking on the large wooden doors.

'Come in," a calm voice answered. Georgina pushed open the door, to reveal a large, but slightly cluttered office. Portraits or certificates lined every spot available on the wall, and a red bird on a perch stood next to Dumbledore. It just stared at her calculating. Dumbledore himself was behind his desk in a large, blue chair. A smaller one stood in front of it.

Hesitatingly, Georgina took a seat avoiding the Headmaster's eyes.

"Lemon Drop?" he offered. Georgina was about to decline, but an odd sensation compelled her to take one, which she did. An odd calming feeling overwhelmed her, and she sighed heavily.

"Well, Miss Vixen, you caused me quite a shock. I thought you might be sorted in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, because your father was a Gryffindor. How was the ride here for you?"

"Well, it was nice. I got your chocolate frog card, which was quite interesting indeed. It's an honor to meet you sir, after defeating the Dark lord and finding the twelve uses of dragon's blood. Hogwarts is lucky to have you, I believe, its not every school who has a dark wizard vanquisher as its Headmaster!" Georgina praised sincerely.

Dumbledore's electric blue eyes twinkled. This was too easy. "Hmm, how was your sorting then? We wouldn't want you to grow up in the wrong house now do we? Maybe another go with the Sorting hat wouldn't hurt."

"I'm sure it wouldn't!" exclaimed Georgina, "in fact, I begged the Sorting Hat not to put me in Slytherin, but it did anyways, maybe I'll get a different one this time. Maybe even Hufflepuff. That would certainly be better than Slytherin."

"It's settled then, let's re-sort!" Dumbledore took the Sorting Hat down from its case and placed it on her head. Wandlessly and wordlessly, Dumbledore cast a confundus charm on the hat, making it believe it was sorting Harry Potter, who would no doubt land in Gryffindor.

"Ah, it's you again. Not happy with your old house?"

"Actually I don't mind where I go this time. Put me wherever you please."

"Okay, like I said before, you would shine particularly well in- SLYTHERIN!"

Dumbledore almost growled. The Sorting Hat believed Vixen to be Georgina, and yet it still put her in Slytherin? He would have to talk to Harry soon, just incase he was having some doubts. Maybe putting a Potter and a Vixen wasn't such a good idea after all.

Georgina saw that Dumbledore didn't look too pleased, so she decided to say something, "Don't worry sir, I won't go Dark or anything like that. In fact, I'll just use the 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer' thing. If Voldemort ever comes back, I swear I'll stab him in the back for killing my parents!" she said viciously.

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled again, "I think that is a very good idea, Miss Vixen. I'm sure you could pick up some of Voldemort's tactics in his old home. Remember, if you need me, I will be in my office. Good night."

Georgina left without another word, and she found Professor Snape at the doorway. She grinned at him evilly.

"How was the meeting, Miss Vixen?" Professor Snape asked, hoping Dumbledore didn't transfer her out of his house.

"It was quite interesting, if I might say so myself. The Sorting Hat put me in Slytherin again, which I'm glad for. I would never want to be in the same house as Weasley," she replied smirking.

"What did you tell him?" Snape inquired. He didn't want the Headmaster to get suspicious about where her loyalties lie.

She turned to look at Professor Snape. "I told him exactly what he wanted to hear, of course, of course, I didn't mean half of it."

Snape grinned. Like mother like daughter. It was interesting how much they were alike. "Did you know I went to school with your mother?"

Georgina looked interested, "Really? How was she? Did she get good grades? What was her favorite subject? How well did you know her?"

"Your mother and I were friends, but she was two years ahead of me. She was very good at potions. I believe she also owned a snake, and I'm assuming you have one too? [she nodded] I'll send in a cage tomorrow, and you can let the snake wander in the dungeons. There are many more around here," replied Snape, not willing to tell her everything at once. "Go to sleep, you have a long day tomorrow."

"Okay, goodnight, sir." Georgina said politely.

She walked up to the first year dorms, which had its own little fireplace, sofas and tables to work on. Malfoy was writing a letter to his parents, and Crabbe and Goyle were looking around stupidly.

"Hey, Malfoy," she greeted, plopping down on the green armchair next to the fire, "where's everyone else?"

Malfoy looked up, "Call me Draco. I think Pansy's in the shower, Millicent and Daphne are in their room unpacking, and Blaise is in the shower also. I think Theo fell asleep already."

"Okay, I think I'm going to check out my rooms, I'll see you later."

"Wait! What did the headmaster want?"

She frowned slightly. "He wanted me to transfer to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, so I tried on the hat again, but I still got Slytherin. I hope Granger didn't have lice or anything, or I'm sure I have it now."

He laughed a little. Seeing her shocked expression at him laughing, he said, "we don't need to be all cold and superior in private, that's all for show."

Georgina grinned. Slytherins were such good actors. "Well, I'll be heading off if you don't mind?"

"Yeah, your room is the second girls room."

"Okay, thanks, Draco," she replied before climbing up the small flight of stairs that lead to her room.

There was a white door that read, "Pansy Parkinson and Georgina Vixen" in gold letters. She pushed the door open to reveal a rather large sea green room with two queen-sized beds on it. Pansy had already claimed the bed closest to the door, but Georgina didn't mind. She briefly wondered if she could put a cage for Caliga underneath the bed. Hopefully Pansy wasn't afraid of snakes. She looked around the room again. There was a pretty mahogany dresser on her side of the room, where she could put her clothes in. There was also a vanity mirror between the two beds. She decided that she immensely liked the room.

Georgina searched through her trunk after telling Caliga to go hunting and exploring. She found her pajamas and walked out of the door, to find the bathrooms. She bumped into Pansy on the way, who directed her to the bathrooms.

Georgina quickly showered; finding the bathroom only had one shower, toilet, and a sink. It was actually quite small. She scurried back to her room, since no one was at the Dorm Common Room.

"Hey," Pansy greeted, "we made a shower schedule already. Millicent's going first at 5:45, then Daphne at 6, and you're going in at 6:20, then I'm going at 6:45 and I'll finish at around 7. That'll give us about an hour to get ready till we have to go down to breakfast, which is at eight, and classes start at nine."

"That sounds great. Do you know when classes usually end?" Georgina asked.

"Well, I think this is the schedule my mom told me: breakfast at eight, then we have our first class at nine, then we have a fifteen minute passing period then our second class. Then we have lunch, then two more classes in the afternoon. Then, we do our homework and what not, and dinner is at 6:30. Our curfew is at nine. Don't worry, tomorrow, the prefects will give us a tour of the place and what not," Pansy said, trying to think about what her mother told her.

"Thanks Pansy," Georgina replied, "Oh, yeah, I have a pet snake, and she's wandering around somewhere. I was thinking of putting a cage underneath the bed. Do you mind?"

"A snake?" Pansy asked, paling a little, "well, I wouldn't mind if it didn't bother me or anything. What kind is it?"

"She," Georgina automatically corrected, "She's a black mamba, but Caliga's not that big yet. She couldn't hurt anybody unless she bit them."

"Okay, I'm fine with that. Let's go to sleep now, I'm tired," whined Pansy.

"All right, night, Pansy," Georgina said before climbing into her bed, but before she went to sleep, Georgina got out a quill and parchment and wrote a certain list:

Things to do Tomorrow

1. Make at least 5 new friends.

2. Be better friends with Harry, Pansy, Blaise, and Draco.

3. Have the other Slytherins respect me.

4. Make friends from different houses.

5. Insult Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

6. Suck up to the teachers.

7. Make at least 4 enemies.

8. Make friends with at least 2 older students.

9. Don't end up in the Hospital or on the train home.

10. Read the rules of Slytherin

When Georgina was finished, she sighed. She sure set some pretty high standards for herself. Thinking about the next day, she drifted off to sleep.
