Mostly due to the fact that they all had similar personalities, Ophelia
made friends with the other Slytherin 5th year girls, Pansy, Blaise and
Millicent, rather quickly. They had just finished supper, and were on their
way to the common room.
" So let me get this right here" said Ophelia " The guy that was at the head table in black robes, with the large nose is Professor Snape, and he's our head of house"
" Yup" said Pansy " You just wait till we get to Potions class. He's horrible to Gryffindors! It's hilarious" Blaise nodded " Yeah, we can show up 20 mins late, and he doesn't bat an eyelid. A Gryffindor is 20 seconds late, an it's automatic Detention!"
Ophelia laughed " I can't wait to see that! The Gryffindors and Slytherins here remind me of the people in Apollo-Helios and Hades-Charon at my old school." The girls all reached the entrance to the dungeons, and proceeded to step downwards.
" From what I know, unless I'm wrong, Apollo was a good guy, and Hades was a bad guy. What were YOU doing in with the goodie goodies?" questioned Pansy. " The good guy/bad guy thing is true," said Ophelia " Apollo-Helios is like your Gryffindor, all the brave, heroic do-gooders. Hades-Charon is just like Slytherin, with the sneaky, cunning, and manipulative people. I was only in Apollo-Helios because myself and my family have a very deep connection to Apollo".
" What?" said Millicent " How are you connected to a God?" " Well" said Ophelia looking around " I'd rather not say out in the open. I'll tell you later on."
Millicent nodded and Blaise said " How cool is it that school doesn't start until Monday. We're soooo lucky we came on a Friday this year"! " I totally agree," said Pansy " We get a whole weekend to relax and get used to school again."
The girls reached a place in the dungeons, where the stones were arranged in a rather strange circular pattern. The other girls stopped and Ophelia said, " What's going on, why are we stopped" "Simple" said Millicent " SNAKES IN THE DARKNESS"
The stones rearranged themselves into an archway, and all the girls stepped through into the common room, with several Slytherins lounging around. Ophelia marveled at the green leather couches, armchairs, and the warm fire. " Wow Millicent" she exclaimed" This is so different from my old dorms. I like it"! Millicent smirked " Yeah we like it a lot. And call me Milly, all my friends do". Ophelia smiled and said " Thanks".
The walked across the room, walked through a small corridor with seven doors and entered the door marked like so, in elaborate Silver Script:
Slytherin Fifth Year Girls
Millicent Bullstrode
Pansy Parkinson
Ophelia Serpentina
Blaise Zaibini
The girls each flopped down on an enormous four poster canopy bed, decorated in various shades of green silk. " Ahhhhhhhhh" said Pansy " This is definitely better. Relaxation alert".
Blaise, who was rooting around in her trunk, nodded as she pulled out a poster of the Weird Sisters and, waving her wand, attached it to the wall. " Yeah, you said it. It's nice to relax. I'm tempted to put my Pajamas on and go right to bed"!
" No way" said Ophelia " I'll put my nightclothes on, but I want to go sit in front of that fire out there. It looks nice. We could okay some games of exploding snap!" " Be warned, Milly is good," said Pansy, pulling out her pajamas and shutting the curtains of her four poster.
" Yeah, well not to toot my own horn" said Millicent following suit, " But I am undefeated". " Oh really?" said Ophelia, pulling something green out of her trunk, and shutting the curtains of her own four poster " We'll have to see about that". Blaise laughed, as she closed her curtains and put on her own pajamas ' Really? I tried taking her on in a serious game once, and I had to go to Madame Pomfrey to get my eyebrows re-grown"!
The whole room erupted in giggles, and Blaise poked her head out and scowled " Un-funny. I looked like an egg with hair!" The girls giggled some more, and Blaise even started to laugh.
A few moments later Pansy (in a pink flowered nightgown), Blaise (In a pair of green plaid pants and a white T-shirt that said Weird Sisters), and Millicent (In a blue moon covered pajama set) were waiting for Ophelia to finish up. Which she did, and stepped gracefully off of her four poster.
" Holy crap, I wish I looked that good" said Blaise. Ophelia blushed and adjusted the strap on her nightgown. It was held up by a pair of rather thin spaghetti straps, and reached down to the floor. The chest was cut lower then usual, but not low enough to be offensive. The top part was a dark green silk and as you looked down the nightdress became lighter and lighter shades of green silk.
" Well, errrrr" said Ophelia awkwardly " I didn't exactly know what to bring for nightclothes. See, where I come from, we tend to wear things like this, but generally much shorter. It's warmer in Greece I guess, or we don't mind it as much".
"Well, I certainly have got to get one of those," said Pansy " But I'd like it in pink". Everyone giggled and Ophelia laughed " I could get one made for you if you like. My Aunt is a designer, and she made it for me." Pansy replied "Thanks Ophelia, I'd knock em dead in something like that. That is if you don't first".
Ophelia blushed again and started rooting around in her trunk. She pulled out a package of exploding snap cards, and a thin, silky green housecoat. She put on the housecoat and smiled " Let's go play girls." They all nodded and trudged out the door.
They pulled some armchairs over towards the fire, and set up a table. As Ophelia was about to sit down, she noticed Draco coming in the entrance followed by the gruesome twosome, Crabbe and Goyle. Ophelia muttered something in Greek under her breath that, judging from her tone of voice, wasn't pleasant.
He walked over and said sarcastically " Well, well if it isn't my dear friend Ophelia. How." He then noticed what she was wearing and stopped his sentence. Ophelia thought " Hmmmmm this is far to easy".
" Well Draco, why don't you stop staring at me and pick your jaw up off of the floor. It's a most un-attractive place for it" she said nonchalantly. He glared at her, quickly stopped looking, and said, " As if I would stare at you. I was momentarily appalled by your lack of clothing. Must be another stupid Greek barbarian tradition". She glared right back and said, " Actually, it is. So why don't you leave me alone before I curse you all the way there".
"Well" drawled Draco " I think I had better leave anyway. Not that I'm afraid of you, but if I stay here any longer, my eyes might burn out of their sockets." And he proceeded to head through a small corridor on the opposite side of the common room, followed by Crabbe and Goyle, and entered one of the doors.
Ophelia proceeded to mutter a string of Greek curse words that, if they could understand them, would have made sailors blush. " I take it you've met Draco already"said Blaise. " Oh yes" said Ophelia sarcastically " We're 'acquainted' all right."
"Well" said Pansy "Don't worry about him, that's just the way we are. Trust me, you can't change the Prince of Slytherin". " I suppose not, " said Ophelia, as Millicent started passing out cards "After all, we are Slytherins too, we just give the same right back".
Everyone nodded and Millicent said " Okay, but I Draco can get pretty nasty if you push him to far". Ophelia picked up her cards, fanned them out in her hand, and said, " So can I".
They proceeded to play several games of exploding snap, in which the charm Blaise learned to grow back hair came in handy. Millicent emerged as champion, followed by Ophelia. They had abandoned playing, and were currently making a house of cards " Careful Pansy" said Ophelia. " I know what I'm doing" replied Pansy as she placed another card on top of the house.
It teetered dangerously as Blaise moved to place another card on top. She just let it go when suddenly the whole house blew up in their faces. Everyone was waving their arms to get rid of smoke, and Blaise pulled out her wand to fix their hair.
" Wow" said Millicent " That's one of the biggest houses I've ever seen. To bad it went down". " Yeah" said Ophelia with a yawn " But I want to get some sleep anyway". Everyone agreed with her and, after picking up the smoking deck of cards, proceeded to go back to their dorm and go straight to sleep.
