p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;"I followed close behind Professor Snape as we made or way down winding stairs, the temperature changing from a cozy warm to a bitter cold. The sound of water splashing onto the walls grew louder as we descended. The stairwell was dimly lit by burnt down candles on the walls. Snape's robes flew behind him as he quickly descended, and I followed making sure to take caution as to not step on it and make him trip. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;"Once we reached the bottom of the stairs, it opened into a low underground room. The walls were a rough stone that stretched up and created the ceiling as well. Green fire was coming from pure black lamps hung around the room by chains. There were couches strewn about, made from black leather with the Slytherin symbol carved into them. There was a plush emerald, green carpet underneath the common area, and a fire was burning in the marble fireplace, the rich greens, and silvers dancing in perfect sync together. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""This way." Snape spoke in a sharp whisper and motioned to a set of stairs on one side of the room. "Those lead to the girls' dorms, yours is the 3rd on the right. Your belongings are in there already." He went to a different door on the other side of the room. "And please, don't wake your roommates." He opened the door before disappearing through it. I climbed the stairs and slowly opened the door to my room. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;"The bedframes were a black wood I couldn't quite recognize, the sheets a deep and rich emerald, with a silver serpent on the sheets. Silver lanterns hung from the ceilings and had a dim glow to them that only started when I opened the door. Soleil (Soul-Ay) was stretched across the bed, her white fur spread around her. I glanced at the two occupied beds. Two girls were slumbering peacefully, one had a cat peacefully purring in its sleep at the foot of hers and the other had an empty owl cage next to her bed. I crept over to my suitcase and opened it, careful to not make a sound. I pulled out my silk nightgown, the baby blue barely visible in the light. I changed and crawled under the covers, Soleil jumping up and curling into my chest, gently nuzzling my face and licking my jaw. Even in the dark her piercing blue eyes shone brightly as she looked up at me. I gingerly smiled at her and placed a small kiss on her nose and stroked her head. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""Bonsoir Soleil." I whispered to her before closing my eyes and falling into a deep slumber./span/p

The little girl hesitated before nodding and turning kneeling down and picking one. /span/em/p

I rubbed my eyes and looked at her before pulling off the covers and swinging my legs around. They touched the cold stone floor and immediately jumped up, sending goosebumps all over my body. I slowly put my feet back down, letting the cold settle onto them. I stood up and looked at the other beds, they were already empty. Through the door, I heard the muffled voices of talking in the common room. I unpacked my suitcase, placing my clothes into the dressers and saw my new robes were hanging on the door. I undressed and slipped on a pair of black leggings and a black skirt. I found a neatly pressed white button-up and slipped it on before pulling a simple grey wool vest on over it. I fastened my tie and tucked it into the vest before going into the bathroom and brushing my hair and teeth. I looked at myself in the mirror and decided to put up part of my hair with a black ribbon. I tied it carefully into my almost pale blond hair before I walked back out into the dorm room. Soleil was sitting on my bed staring and meowed when I walked back out. I looked at her./span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""I'm sorry, I almost forgot." I pulled out her food dish and set it next to my bed. I waved my hand and it filled with cat food which she happily ate. I grabbed my robes and walked back into the bathroom and slipped them on. I looked at myself in the mirror, making sure everything looked perfect. I stared at my appearance. "Well, it's no Beauxbaton blue, but I think it'll do." I spoke aloud to no one. I walked into my room and slipped on my shoes before gaving Soleil a scratch behind her ears. "I'll see you tonight, Soleil." She didn't acknowledge me, too engrossed in her breakfast. I shrugged before opening the door and shutting it behind me. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;"I looked around at the students hanging around in the common room, some of them glanced to me, but most paid no attention. Two girls looked up at me before looking at each other. I stood there for a moment, not sure what to do. One of them got up and walked over. She was pretty, her skin a soft light brown and her brown hair tied into a ponytail. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""Hi. I'm Pansy Parkinson, you must be the new girl." She spoke giving me a look up and down. /span/p

p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""Well Charity. Welcome to Slytherin then." She pointed at a girl watching us, "That's Daphne Greengrass, the other girl in our room. We were just about to go get breakfast, care to join us?" I smiled and nodded./span/p

p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""Move." They quickly hopped up and scurried to different seats. Pansy turned and smiled at me and motioned. "Sit." I smiled gently back and sat down, she sat on my left and Daphne sat on my right. I looked at all the food before grabbing a blueberry muffin and a couple pieces of sausage and placing them on my plate. The three of us chatted before Pansy looked towards the doors and her eyes seemed to light up. I followed her gaze and saw a boy walking over with two others following him. The boy walked with a confidence that radiated through the room, his pale blond, almost white hair combed and slicked back perfectly, his skin was a smooth white, and his eyes were a sharp pale grey. He walked over and looked at some kids sitting next to Pansy and made them move without saying a word. He sat with the two other boys and grabbed some food./span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""Hi Draco." Pansy spoke, her voice a pitch higher than earlier. He grunted in response and took a bite of his eggs. She looked at me. "This is Charity, she's new to Slytherin." He glanced over and our eyes caught for a second. He stopped mid chew and stared, seeming to forget how to function before blinking a few times and finish chewing. He wiped his mouth and hands with a napkin before turning to look at me. He had a smirk on his face and extended his hand. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." I looked before taking his hand and shaking it. /span/p

She took a bite of her toast. I nodded and continued to eat my food. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;"Just then, Snape appeared behind me and handed me a piece of parchment. "Your schedule, memorize it by the end of the day." That was all he said before heading back up to the front and taking his seat once more. Daphne looked over my shoulder as I unfolded it. /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""You have potions and divination with Draco and me. And charms with Pansy." She took it from my hand, studying it further. "We all have Defense Against the Dark Arts together." She handed it back. I glanced over to Pansy and Draco. She was still talking to him as she ate, but he wasn't paying attention to her, he was staring at me. Draco smirked at me and gave a wink before looking at his watch. He grabbed an apple before standing. Pansy's head snapped in his direction when he did. He motioned to the other two boys to get up, /span/p
p style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;"span style="font-family: 'Source Sans Pro',sans-serif;""Time for potions boys." He looked at Pansy, "I'll see you later."
