CHAP 12

"It's not a matter of a house" Magonagall said unsympathetically.

"Well what is it then?" Nyx asked.

Magonagall could not recall a mandatory answer, and didn't reply. It felt like she was keeping something from them, like she wasn't allowed to tell them anything outside of how this school functioned.

Danielle switched back and forth at their expressions. She clapped her hands and the portion of platform facing them cracked open, a cement door with out a handle, casting a bright light from the inside. Professor stood aside, signaling them that they were supposed to crawl on their knees and enter, so they did.

Inside was a richly decorated room, filled with tapestries, rugs, armchairs, and a circular fireplace crackling happily in the center of the room. There were plenty of "oohs" and "ahhs".

"Hello" a voice coming from a girl sitting in an armchair next to the fire.

"Oh this is Priscilla Cook she is one your house prefects"

Nyx shot a curious look at Magonagall, causing her to regret her words. With a -POP- Magonagall was gone.

"Your dormitories are up those stairs and take a left"

Skye, Riley, Lei, and Audrey walked up the stairs.

"Yes?" Priscilla asked.

"What house is this?" Nyx asked determinedly.

"It isn't really a house. but we call it Sandor, named after Sandor Hawkes, oh can you please tell the others to select a house"

"Aren't we in this house?"

"Uh-a different house I mean"

"Are we going to be moved?"

"No, just ask them ok?"

[At least I got an answer]

With that Nyx walk on the hearth rug to the whitewashed steps, as she got further up, she noticed the blue tint and the flickering candles. She rolled her eyes. [Ok. I wonder if any of the other houses have this weirdness] after about 38 steps or so she reached a door on her left, a corridor of more blue and flickering candles, leading to two more doors, one far to her left and one close on her right. Being an illogical person she took the door on her right, practically ripping it open.

"UGH" a person from behind the door cried.

"So sorry" Nyx apologized as she peeked in.

~To her surprise. OK before I go on. I must explain about Sandor. Sandor is a sacred house that few are selected to be in, take a wild guess why.~

"DEAN!!!" she yelled, pointing at the floor.

"Dean? Nyx are you that homesick?" Skye asked looking around from the door at the far end. "DEAN!" That caused a stir in the girl's dormitory; there were plenty of "Dean?" "You mean Dean, Dean?" "He's here?"

Nyx laughed at almost knocking him out cold, as he got up. Torrance popped up from behind, and did a kicking motion. Nyx smiled.

"You need select a house" Nyx said putting Toby on the bed.

"Any house?" Riley asked.

"Yea I guess"

"Gryffindor" She said back quickly.

"Gryffindor" Skye agreed.

"Gryffindor" Lelani said as a three.

"I say Ravenclaw" Nyx said.

"Oh come on Nyx." Skye pushed.

-Knock-

"It's open" Audrey shouted.

Priscilla opened the door.

"Oh one thing once you've said a house you can't change it" Priscilla announced.

Riley's mouth was partly open. Nyx was pointing.

"Were you eavesdropping?" Skye demanded.

"No I am Physic" Priscilla stated. "No I am not"

[Lair] Skye thought.

"Uh ok." Nyx said.

Skye was awe-struck.
