CRACK
"RONALD"
The Windows of the great hall, which were above both the Gryffindor and Slytherin table went shattering inward as Virginia let a final scream at him go. Shards of glass were on there way to the floor of the great hall, when Dumbledor's voice echoed throughout the hall. No one really heard what it was he said, but it was most likely something along the lines of a repair charm. The Shards of glass went flying back into their places and the windows were as good as new.
"Well... another auspicious start for a Slytherin.... Professor Snape why don't you take your new charge and her counterparts to the Slytherin common room, and Mr. Weasley why don't you and your counter parts come up to my office. Professor McGonagal, if you would make sure breakfast goes off without any more.... auspicious starts.." Dumbledore smiled and Snape, showing incredible ease with his task jumped up put light pressure on Virginia's back when he got to her, motioning her to move out the doors. Draco and Carolina also moved with her.
"Well, Bravo Miss Weasley on making it into Slytherin... Your article was also beautifully wrote, you will make a grand journalist some day."
"Ugh... Thank you.... so when should I report to serve detention." She asked.
"Detention.... Why would you be serving detention... all you did was have unstable control over your powers... but that should be expected, If you were doing as much repressive magic charms on yourself as you were and at such a young age... I'm sure after breaking the unbreakable Dumbledore will take it upon himself to have you tested by Olivander to see just how amazing you are. Now then seeing as I do not trust my students to accept you as easily as Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Goyle, I am going to give you a separate dorm off the common room, one much like Mr. Malfoy himself accommodates, along with Miss Goyle, I'd hate for you to awake and have Pansy there slicing off your hair."
At this Draco and Carolina broke into snickers.
"I'm assuming she has done that before.." Virginia said
"She doesn't work well with others being thought more beautiful than her." Snape said
"She doesn't work well with anyone." Draco murmured.
"She's okay with herself." Carolina laughed to herself.
"Very true Miss Goyle. Now then Miss Weasley... rules are the same here as they were in Gryffindor quidditch tryouts are in a week You may wish to try out. This is the entrance to the Slytherin common room and dorms. Snape said as he stopped in front of a portrait of a beautiful elfish looking woman with snake like almond eyes. " This is the entrance to the Common Room. This is Loria, Loria Virginia Weasley new house member.
"Oh very good. Virginia, I am Loria, Welcome to Slytherin."
"Thank you ma'am." Virginia answered.
"She's the Descendant of Slazar Slytherin, and Carmen Gryffindor. She is our password keeper. If you ever come and she is gone you may go through my personal entrance in the Potions room, It will be shown and explained to you later by Mr. Malfoy. The password is Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. It's a quote from somewhere or the other. Loria is big on quotes.
" Oh hush up Severus." Loria said swinging open. She was greeted by a spiral staircase that they all descended on.
Virginia was stunned when she got to the bottom. The Silver and Emerald chairs and couches looked more than comfy. There were many secluded nooks and crannies for people to hide in. Book cases were placed in stead of the many games that were held in the Gryffindor common room. Emerald roses were all over strewn about the room.
"wow."
"It is great isn't it." Draco said he was close enough to her to hear the soft murmured word, and to pick up the soft smell of her... that was....
"Are you wearing a perfume of ginger and lily?" Draco asked her. She rounded on him to find him very close.. too close for comfort, and Snape and Carolina's eyes were glued on them. She smiled and in a very practiced move stepped to the side and put space between them by walking towards the book cases.
" It's my personal ginger shampoo, and lily extract lotion." She said noticing many of the books were Defense Against the Dark Arts books.
" It smells rather nice. The mixture of smells." Draco said moving to stand next to Snape and Carolina. Carolina wore a look of absolute hilarity, and Snape had a smirk on his face and would not meet the young mans eyes.
"How on Dumbledor's beard did you get the boys in Slytherin to consent to the roses... The boys in Gryffindor had a fit if we brought any... the argument always came down to "What if a Slytherin saw... were not weak little pansies that enjoy roses, Do you think the Slytherins allow roses in their common room?" Virginia said. Snape and Draco snickered.
"We as Slytherins know how to appreciate beauty. Come along and I'll take you to your room."
Virginia followed as he walked to another spiral staircase parallel to the one they had just got off. Snape went up first and then Draco followed by Virginia and Carolina as they walked up they passed about 6 landings finally they got to a seventh.
"Why is it I get the feeling we started out in the dungeons and are now in a tower." She murmured and Carolina laughed.
"Your totally correct." Draco said. Virginia finally stepped into a round room. Two fireplaces were in the wall, and in the middle of the room were a couch love seat and a few chairs. 10 doors spanned off of this each on the 10 doors has a name plate. Draco had one, Carolina, and others who she didn't know had doors. 1 of the doors had a name free plate that said Reserved Head Dorm. Snape walked to a door that held her own name " This is your new dorm, by now all your assortment of things will have been moved in. Once again welcome to Slytherin... I'll leave Mr. Malfoy to show you some of the finer tuning of these dorms.... and Draco do be sure to explain the restriction line to her.... I'll be going." Snape said and moved to the fire place and jumped in.
" Carolina you are so dead for that little stunt in the Great Hall." Draco hissed.
"Hey how'd I know Weasl- ahem..."
"Call him Ronikins... He'll go after you with a knife" Virginia commented. Walking to the dorm with her name.
"Okay, well how'd I know Ronnikins would go crazy though I'll admit we probably warmed a number of the Slytherins to accepting an x-iffy, I mean DAMN did you see the power.... and Virginia the I'll snog who I want, shag who I wish....totally grand!" Carolina called.
" I agree.... but still." Draco said plopping down in one of the seats. Virginia had moved off.
The room was grand! The huge cherry wood canopy bed had cream curtains tied on the four post showing off the beautiful down comforter, and the immense size of the actual bed which was larger than a normal king sized bed. A large Cherry wood desk sat in the corner with a matching desk chair. The houselves had done an amazing job, filling the quill holder full of quills and the desk drawers were stocked with all her sugar quill products. Fresh red roses sat on the desk along with the normal desk stuff, envelopes, her sealing wax and seals. A matching huge cherry wood wardrobe was on the side. She opened it up, all her cloths were organized Robes, school uniforms, blouses then pants, and finally her revealing night gowns. She opened one of the drawers and found all her under garments, the next drawer was full of halter tops, bathing suits things that weren't made to be hung. The third drawer contained her shorts, and pajamas . She smiled and moved to a Vanity.
The Vanity had also been organized her basic makeup on the top in little slots, and then one the drawers were stocked with her extras. She smiled and moved to the closet. She opened it and smiled all her possessions that weren't clothing and makeup were here, Her prank kits, Her brothers old broom, pictures of her family, her books took up two of the shelves completely. The shoes, and sandals and boots were organized also all over. Her cauldron and potion kits, all of her school work that she kept, school bag and school books were also gave there own special place It was a rather amazing closet with all its shelves...
"So are you going to let us in..." Carolina asked. causing her to jump and turn...
"what? yah sure." She said and turned to close the closet.
" You have to invite us Virginia, all the doors have restrictive lines, one is only aloud in if they are invited... are staircase has one too, It only will let the occupants of the dorms, Professors... specifically Head of Houses and Headmaster. Head Boy and Girl, but that is it unless one of us invites them in. Then its okay. Prefects can't even get up here." Draco said.
"oh... well would you please come in then?" Virginia asked formally. Both Carolina and Draco came in. Draco tossed himself onto the magnificent bed. Carolina pulled out the small vanity stool and took a seat. Virginia smiled and moved to a door. She opened it and let out a low whistle. The door opened to a huge large bathroom. As good as the prefects baths.
"It's nice isn't it... so much better than shared dorm rooms... I'm rather surprised you haven't seen one before doesn't Potter have one?" Draco drawled looking rather comfy on her bed. His blond hair spilling onto a cream colored pillow showing just how pale his hair really was. She pondered his remark as she went to the night stand where another vase of fresh flowers sat.
" It is nicer than sharing a dorm room... As for Potter, are you implying that I have graced his dorm with an intimate way?" Virginia asked her bright ginger eyes startling as they landed on his face and bore into him.
" No... I was not, but as we are on the subject-"
"No I do not fancy Potter, nor have I spent a night of passion in his bed... and Gryffindor doesn't have dorms like this.... believe me Fred would have told me if they did." Virginia said
Carolina burst into laughter at a slightly relived look that passed Draco's face.
"Why would Slytherin have dorms like this and not Gryffindor?"
"Because if you will remember these dorms weren't originally part of the Slytherin room, and they are gave to us as a privilege for being the best Slytherin students. that means that Gryffindors may not have them." Carolina said after a moment of silence.
"True " Draco said. Virginia smiled at them and then heard the tapping noise. she turned to a window to she Dumbledor's Phoenix, Fawks. The bird was holding a message. Virginia hurried over to the window and slid it open. Fawks came in and landed on the wardrobe dropping the letter on the desk. She went over to it and pulled out the letter opener after slitting it open the envelope she pulled out the small slip of paper.
Miss Weasley~
Would you please make your way to my office, I wish to have a few words with you. The password happens to be Sparkling draught.
Professor Dumbledore
Virginia looked at Draco and Carolina. "Ok looks like the two of you are out of my dorm." Virginia said.
"oh yes? and where is it you are going?" Draco questioned.
"To my own personal hell. Now Get." Virginia said forcefully causing Draco to laugh and Carolina to roll her eyes.
"Your going to make the year a whole lot more interesting." Draco said getting up off her bed wile Carolina stood up at the vanity.
"Yha... but first things first, Your making it an interesting day girl. Here, I'll walk you to the headmasters office through the Head tunnels."
"Head Tunnels? Virginia questioned leaving the window open so Fawks who was still sitting on the wardrobe could leave at his own free will. She moved off to leaving with Carolina through the door. Draco was lounging on the couch now a large book on potions sat in his lap.
"Head Tunnels are the tunnels and passages that head boy and head girl use to get around quickly and quietly." She opened the door that was reserved for the a Slytherin head. The room was a bit more lavish than hers with it's own personal common room. Carolina moved to one of 3 doors off the common room and ushered Virginia into what looked like a normal hall though it was completely empty with the exception of one picture.
" Where to?" The Picture asked... It was of a traffic cop.
" Headmasters Office."
"Take the 3rd left. End door" The portrait said. Carolina began to move off so Virginia moved off also.
"Why is it I get the feeling Slytheirins get know a lot more than Gryffindors."
"Well, not all Slytherins know about the Head Tunnels, just us 10 in special dorms have access to them, and as for the special dorms, don't think us snobs or anything, to tell you the truth we don't get them from good grades, there used to keep us separate from the other Slytherins"
" Why do you want to be separate?" Her mellow voice sounding a bit tense.
" well 4 of us are not pure bloods, yet come from a predominately pure blood line, so not even our family that is here really likes us, and then with Malfoy and a couple of the others it's Snape's doing... though I know it isn't for good grades. For you it's for protection from Slytherins Gryffindors have harmed."
"So in other words the separate dorm is to keep us away and protected... only us in trouble..."
"Yha that and to keep the people Snape decides needs it... Look were here, I'll wait outside the door and we'll go back together kay?"
"I don't know how long it will be-"
"I'll be here." Carolina said and gave a smile as they walked out of the doorway. Professor Dumbledores office was directly across the hall. Carolina was leaning against the door to the Head Tunnel. Virginia sighed and went to the door and said the pass word and got onto the stairs and wondered exactly what it was that would be waiting for her... what answer to a question... what but more questions...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know... nothing fun happened here... I'm sorry, but I thought It a must to describe the rooms, because if this story goes the way it should, the rooms may actually come to be a bit of an important factor... or it may just become a moot point. sorry. Well, thank you to all my Reviewers... all but one who got me mad.... no comment, and like I stated at my last chapter I am trying to fix the grammar and the spelling, but, my computer is not saving my changes, the big thing of scrap metal. well, the next chapter should be in a day. Two at the most. Three is reliable.... Four isn't bad....
It should be out tomorrow, who can tell that I am a procrastinator... well Thank you all and by the way just because this is a descriptive chapter and a set up for the next doesn't mean that you don't have to review.... I do appreciate it people.
Well thank you all
GoddessTeasha.
The Author owns Nothing
The Author would like to stress that I am trying to fix grammar and spelling, though I offer no promises because the scrap metal computer isn't saving the effin changes there for if you are to yell at me for how bad this is ask that you do not come down to hard on me for grammar and spelling... I am trying. Please bear with me.
Once again thank you all,
