Three New Slytherins
As they entered Slytherin Tower, the trio was surprised to find the common room empty. Considering that it was such a nice day out, the other students were probably out enjoying the sun while they could.
The Slytherin Common Room was vastly different from Gryffindor in that it was intimidating and the architecture was somewhat gothic in origin. In contrast where the Gryffindor common room was warm and welcoming, the Slytherin's was cold and somewhat sterile, decorated all in dark greens and black.
From the first moment they entered, the three students felt out of place in this new setting, but were determined to stick it out, more out of spite than anything else. Ron, Hermione, and Harry took the stairs two at a time, anxious to get to their new dormitories. On the top of the staircase the hall diverged in two directions and they followed the left path to two doors right next to the other.
Ron and Harry entered the first while Hermione entered the second, what they found was surprising. Although their dorms were indeed green and black in color, other than that they looked almost exactly like their original rooms, complete with their personal belongings in place as they left them. The culprit was most likely Dumbledore trying to win them over, or at the very least get back in their good graces.
"This room is so dark." Ron commented looking around.
"Yeah, no colors anywhere."
"So, why don't we lighten it up a bit?" Ron asked taking out his wand. With a swish of his wrist the drapes were a light orange.
Harry followed suit and changed the bed curtains to a bright red. After they were done the room looked almost like it did in Gryffindor tower. The floor was hardwood as well as the furniture and the bedding was both orange and red.
Ron and Harry were interrupted in the middle of hexing each other by a knock on the door. Hermione entered to find them both multicolored. Ron had green hair, yellow hands and his clothes were purple. Harry had red eyes, orange hair, and the rest of him was blue. Hermione took one look at them and started laughing hysterically. With a conspiring glance at each other, Ron and Harry both hexed Hermione without warning causing her hair to turn blue and red respectively.
"Guys!" Hermione squealed. "I came here to tell you lunch is ready, you prats."
"Finite Incantatem." Harry said, causing all of the colors on their bodies to revert back to their original colors, leaving three chuckling friends standing in the middle of the room.
"Well, let's get down to the Great Hall shall we?" Ron asked, leading Hermione out of the room with a hand on her lower back.
"Let's." Harry answered following his friends out of the Common Room. As they entered the Great Hall for the second time that day, the hall went silent after their arrival, which didn't last long as they made their way over to the slytherin table. The Hall erupted in chaos, everyone trying to talk over each other, especially the Gryffindors who were calling out to the trio in confusion.
Harry sat down next to Malfoy and Ron sat opposite him next to Hermione.
"What do you think you're doing, Potter?" Malfoy sneered, looking down his nose at Harry. "Get lost on the way to the Gryffindork's table?"
"Not quite." Harry answered, returning Malfoy's glare with one of his own. Before he could explain further however, Dumbledore standing up at the Professor's Table caught his attention.
"As you may have noticed, Mister Potter, Miss Granger, and Mister Weasley are sitting at the Slytherin table. This is no mistake; rather they have asked to be resorted into Slytherin House. I expect you to treat them with the respect due to any other of your housemates. That is all, so dig in."
That meal not many people actually ate, instead they were preoccupied wondering about the trio's change of house, that is all the students except those in Slytherin House. They, under the leadership of Draco Malfoy, were busy arguing with the trio.
"You three have no right to be in our house." Malfoy practically growled. "You're the most idiotic Gryffindor's ever."
"At least we aren't sleazy cheating slytherins, who use their daddy's money to get what they want." Ron sneered.
"Can it Weasel, at least my father has money and isn't a laughing stock at the Ministry."
"No he's just a boot-licker of the dark lord." Harry interrupted.
"You know nothing of my father, Potter!" Screamed Malfoy.
"I know all I need to know about him." Sneered Harry. "He's pathetic."
"Harry." Hermione interjected quietly. "You're making a scene."
"He's Lucius bloody Malfoy. Most of the wizarding world envies him. We are one of the oldest pureblood families in the world."
"True, but so is the Weasley's." Hermione interrupted haughtily squeezing Ron's shoulder.
"You'd dare to compare the Weasleys with the Malfoys?" Draco asked incredulously. "Of course you need to stick up for your boyfriend, mud blood. What's the matter, Weasel? Need to hide behind Granger's skirt too?"
"You bloody git!" Ron yelled, getting up and aiming his wand at Malfoy. When Crabbe and Goyle moved to stand by Draco, Harry and Hermione stood up as well. Before any hexes could be thrown, however, they were interrupted.
"What is the meaning of this, Potter?" Snape hissed as he swooped towards them from the professor's table.
"But, Professor they started it." Hermione asserted.
"Did I ask you Miss Granger?" Snape asked quietly. "Twenty point from Gryffin- Slytherin, for starting a fight, Potter. Now put your wands away." Snape glared at the trio as they hurriedly followed his orders, ignoring the taunting Malfoy and his henchmen were doing.
"I suggest you sit down and be quiet. If I have to referee anymore fights between you two again you both will be sorry." Snape continued, before turning towards Draco. "And you, try to keep any arguments in-house in the future."
The rest of lunch passed quickly with both parties keeping their distance and holding their peace. As the students left the great hall after the meal, Harry murmured under his breath so that only Hermione and Ron could overhear.
"Well, that answers that question." Harry whispered.
"What?" Ron asked.
"Snape will take points off his Slytherins, at least when it's me."
"True." Hermione agreed, and in a rare playful mood continued. "So, how many points do you think we can loose for Slytherin altogether?"
