Five months had passed and those months had been very interesting indeed. The whole school had found out that Danica could speak to snakes. After that Danica had over heard a few Gryffindors plotting in a never used girls bathroom. They were making the Polyjuice potion and were planning to enter the Slytherin common room to discover if she was the heir of Slytherin.

Danica had over heard the conversation over a month ago now and here were the second year Slytherins sitting in a room that they had discovered last year. Danica lifted her head suddenly as a thought came to her, "I want to show this room the Professor Snape now that the holidays are here."

This particular topic had been brought up may times over the past year and a half. "Are you sure we should?" Blaise asked wearily from his spot by the fire place.

The others also stared at Danica waiting for her answer. "Yes, I really am sure it is time." With that said Danica stood up and set her book down upon the glass table in the middle of the seating arrangements.

(With Danica)

Walking down the hallway Danica took up a conversation with the snake curled around her waist before coiling up her torso until his head was resting on her left shoulder. –Salazar, how did you convince me to tell Professor Snape about the room?-

By reminding you of your affection for him and his for your. He will not betray you. Salazar hissed in reply.

-At least you hope not anyway.- Danica replied in a no nonsense way. Salazar sighed in exasperation before tightening minutely but did not reply as they reached the common room. Walking out of the portrait hole Danica made her way to her head of house's privet quarters, knocking on the door, she waited.

(Severus's POV)

Opening the door to my quarters I had to look down even more then usual to see my guest. There standing in my doorway was one of my Slytherins, Danica. "What can I do for you Ms. Potter?" I asked curiously.

Opening her mouth she replied, "I wanted to know if you would like to join my friends and I for the day?" Blinking in surprise I nodded my agreement.

Leading the way back to the common room she guided me toward the boys dorms while speaking in Parseltoung causing the wall at the very end of the corridor to slide open exposing another corridor.
