LXI. Clock
There are seven clocks on the walls of the Slytherin common room. Not normal clocks that tell the time, but clocks like you find in wizard homes up and down the country – clocks with people's names on and hands that point to such things as 'work', 'travelling', 'eating' and the like.
Installing the clocks was one of Blaise's strangest ideas, and it was the only one that Professor Dumbledore ever paid attention to. Blaise had said that having the clocks in the common room would make the first years feel much more at home.
There are seven clocks on the walls of the Slytherin common room, and ever since Dumbledore died every hand has been pointing straight to 'mortal peril'.
