"CLEAN SLATE"
CHAPTER 2: "WELCOME TO BLACKWING HALL"
Ginny stood gapping at the large room around her. The walls were a worn brick, smoothed and broken with age. The ceiling was white with cries-crossing wooden beams from which hung black, blue, and purple canopies. The floor was wooden and stained a deep cherry color. On the wall opposite the portrait hole, sat shelf upon shelf of books magical and otherwise. Small sets of tables and chairs and in the center sat three large couches of the deepest rusted orange color. A wooden coffee table sat before the couches and above it hung a small white box with a round lens protruding from it. "Wow" was all she could muster. Jerusalem smiled and pulled Ginny fully into the room, she then pointed to a hallway at the back of the room.
"Those," she said "are the dorms. Guys on the right girls on the left." Ginny nodded. Salem looked around the room confused. "Where the hell is everyone?" she asked. As if on cue a boy ran into the room looking panicked. He was pale and was the near identical image of Jerusalem. His black hair was slightly curly like Jerusalem's, but cut shorter ending just below his jaw. Ginny knew this boy was related to Jerusalem the minute she saw his shocking jade eyes, the fangs also helped. Salem stifled a laugh. "Wow, what's up Mag? You look like your being chased by a hellhound." The boy leaned against the wall panting.
"Worse," he said "Ember." Jerusalem burst out laughing.
"Ha ha! Well to bad for you." The boy gave her a dark look. "Oh!" she shouted "Where are my manners." She turned to Ginny "Ginny this is my twin brother Magnus," she gestured to the boy who had now sunk to the floor. "Everyone just calls him Mag though." Ginny smiled
"It's very nice to meet you." She said. Suddenly the portrait hole burst open and a girl ran inside and jumped on Mag.
"Ha!" she yelled triumphantly "I got you Alucard, now give me back my scarf." She got up, held out her hand, and tapped her foot impatiently, as Mag pulled a shiny green scarf from his pocket. The girl took the scarf from him and tied it around her waist like a sash. She then turned and saw Jerusalem and Ginny. "Salem!" she yelled, jumping up and down. Salem smiled and turned to Ginny.
"Ginny, this is Ember Nesi," She said nodding to the girl who was still jumping up and down in place. "Don't worry though she's perfectly harmless." Ginny smiled at this and shook Ember's hand.
"It's nice to meet you" Said Ginny. Ember stopped jumping and gasped.
"I love your accent are you from England?" asked Ember. Ginny nodded.
"I just transferred from Hogwarts" Cool was the reply all around.
"Come on" said Salem grabbing Ginny's arm. "We'll introduce you to the rest of the gang." Ginny smiled as she was led back out of the portrait hole, 'this would be fun'.
