Hermione woke in a big round room on a fluffy red sofa. There was a big rug with the Hogwarts shield in the middle of the room and the walls were covered with paintings of all different types. There was one of a door on a tree in a forest, one with three teenaged girls sitting on a fluffy red couch and one that showed Hogwarts, the lake and the surrounding grounds. While she was looking at the picture of Hogwarts, Hermione wondered what Harry and Ron were doing. As she thought this, the picture of Hogwarts changed and now showed the Gryffindor common room, complete with people moving around and in a corner were Harry, Ron, Fred, and George crouched over something. Hermione concentrated and the painting "zoomed in" to show that they were searching the Marauder's Map for her. She could only hope they would find her soon. She continued scanning the room and saw a table, some big fluffy chairs, and a fireplace, but could find no doors.
'It must open from the outside only.' She thought. At that moment, there was a rattling noise from the door painting. The door opened and a girl who looked like she had come from the painting of the three girls stepped out of the tree. She had shoulder length blonde hair and pale blue eyes, Hermione had seen her around the school. She was carrying a tray in each hand covered with food and drinks. Hermione could almost smell it, and realized how hungry she was.
"Excuse me," said the girl, "can you hold this?" She asked and, to Hermione's amazement, reached out of the picture and handed Hermione a tray. She then grabbed the edge of the frame and stepped out. Hermione experimentally stuck her hand in, there was a tingle, and then her arm went in and looked as if it had been painted in.
"How is this possible?" Hermione asked pulling her hand out.
"Signum," said the girl tapping the frame with her wand. "Anything is possible with magic. Can you put that tray on the table?"
"What? Oh yes, Okay." Said Hermione realizing she was about to drop the tray. She put the tray down and moved to better examine the painting. She grabbed the frame and went to step into the picture. When she tried, however, she hit her foot on it. "What happened?" She wondered aloud.
"It's sealed," said a voice that did not belong to the blonde. Hermione spun around to see that a trap door had opened in one corner and a girl with short black hair was climbing out. She was quite short and was wearing a shirt that said 'When I rule the world your in deep shit' Hermione remembered seeing her at the Slytherin table during meals. "You can't get out of here without a specific spell," smirked the girl. She walked across the room and plopped into a blue chair. "How you doing Zale?"
"Good good," said Zale (The blond), who was busy setting up the table with breakfast. "How have you been? It's been what, three weeks since we last sat down and ate together?"
While the girls kept talking, Hermione started slowly moving toward the trapdoor. She knelt down next to where it should have been but saw nothing except the stone floor.
"You can't expect to get out that way," said the raven haired girl. "That only opens from below."
"Where does it come from?" Hermione Asked, tracing the cracks on the floor with her finger.
"The Slytherin Common room. Well, not exactly the common room, a secret door behind the fireplace. "
"How did you find it?" Asked Hermione
"We'll let me give you some background information to area to each of the four founders, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin had families, Everyone of them had at least one daughter." Said the black haired girl. "Their daughters, whose names were Eleanor Ravenclaw, Alyssum Hufflepuff, Calagwen Slytherin, and Gemma Gryffindor, We're very good friends. One day, during the construction of the castle, the girls formed a circle. They had meetings and talked and made potions. And because at that time the founders and their families were staying in the finished portions of the castle, they chose this very room to meet in. They convinced the founders, who were only too happy that the girls were such good friends, to put passages from their rooms in to this room and otherwise close it off.
"That's their picture over there." She said the motioning to another painting on the wall of four girls giggling and smiling. "Their rooms became the common rooms and they never told anyone about the passages."
"But how did you find it?" Hermione asked.
"She's getting to that." snapped Zale, "go on rain. "
"The reason we know this is because Calagwen Slytherin wrote it in her diary. That diary is now in the restricted section of the school library."
"How did you get it?" asked Hermione.
"I was doing a report on the founders, specifically Salazar Slytherin, and their families." She said giving Hermione a nasty look. "Now if you're quite through interrupting me… I found this place, along with Zale who was my friend from back home we let in a Gryffindor, and a year later, a Ravenclaw. In our fifth we planted these special paintings around the school, to get in and out quicker, and to get to class on time if you're running late."
"Who was the Gryffindor?" Asked Hermione
"Jessica Lane, she graduated last year," said Rain
"Oh I miss her," said Zale
"But you didn't start pranking people until this year, what were you doing before now?"
"Well…


hehe the names are...
Elrenia (Rain) for the menie, Azaylia (Zale) for the sweetie, and Elsha (who hasn't arrived yet) for the smartie
