Hello! I am back for another installment of Pure! Enjoy. At the rate the snow is falling, I'll be off next week as well!

Azymus walked to the Slytherin Dungeon with his group of friends- Draco, Astoria, Theo, Daphne and Blaise. Astoria's friend Isabella was with them as well. They followed Draco, who was a Prefect No idea how he became one of those though he thought. At a particularly ordinary stretch of wall, Draco said

" Purity and Unity".

The mortar cracks in the wall glowed green, and the wall became slightly translucent. They stepped into the nicely furnished common room, and Azymus looked around in interest. The room was a heptagon, and there was a balcony running round all seven walls above their heads. The main color scheme was green, and all the rugs, and fabrics were green. The stairs leading up to the walkway were silver, and the fireplace, and other solid things in the room were silver. A fire flickered in the grate, as it was always cool in the Dungeon, even in the height of Summer. There were paintings of Salazar Slytherin adorning the walls, as well as snake statues.

The walkway was informally divided into 7, and there were 4 doors on each wall. Each year had a wall in which their dorm was situated. Outside where your years dorm was a small seating area, and a study table. It was designed so your year could all sit outside their rooms in peace, and be in peace. If you didn't sleep in a room, you could not get into it. There were 2 girls and 2 boys rooms. There would be 3 boys in each room, and each room was sound-proof.

They were told by their senior prefects to wait downstairs for their Head of House to arrive, and give them the start of year talk.

Their head of House entered through the fireplace, and, robes billowing, stalked to the front of his charges. He began to speak. Everyone listened.

" Welcome to Slytherin.

We are the most hated house in Hogwarts. Because of this, we must look out for each other. If you have a problem with someone in this House, deal with it in here. Out there, they would tear you to shreds.

There are rules to follow here. Some are more serious than others, but obey them if you like your limbs as they are.

Rule One- Be unified

This is basic, the most important. Never find fault with a Slytherin out of the Dungeon.

Rule Two- Never Be Caught

I do not mind what chaos you cause, as long as you are never caught. If you are, then you're punished for being caught.

Rule Three- Be the Best

Never submit to the other houses. Be it a trivial matter, always come out the victor.

There are many rules attached to these, but these are the ones that you must obey. Also, be polite, and reserved. Act like your heritage deems.

Now, could the current fifth year stay behind. Everyone else, please go to your rooms, and stay in them."

They all did so, scuttling up the stairs, and they all located their area, then their room. Each door had names on it. The door with your name on it meant it was your room.

"Now. Fifth year. You have a new pupil among you. Make sure he is suitably acclimatized. Also, it has come to my attention that a certain witch in your year is beating you all in academia. You will be better than that muggle this year, understand?"

" Yes sir" They all chorused, and with a wave of their housemasters hand, hurried up to their area, to locate their room.

It was on the third wall left from the stairs, and was one of the larger areas. Azymus was in a room with Draco and Blaise. He entered, and instantly claimed the bed in the corner of the room. Draco landed the one in the middle, and Blaise was nearest the door.

There was a bathroom, with a shower and all the usual things in it. The beds were soft, and had silver bedding on them. The walls and floor were green. There were wardrobes opposite the beds, and drawers and a cabinet next to your bed. Unlike Gryffindor, where you were just supposed to let your clothes be crumpled in your trunk.

They washed up, and changed into their Pajama's. Azymus spent five minutes meditating, much to the amusement of his roommates. Then, he scared them by smiling. Not a normal smile however. He had morphed in his panther teeth, scaring the shit out of his friends. He roared with laughter at them.

After that, they all read for a short while, until the clock struck 10:30- The first night sleep curfew for everyone in Slytherin. Breaking it meant a metaphorical death.

So, the boys slept, eagerly looking forward to the school year to fully start.

Azymus however, listened to his thoughts for a while.

Tomorrow, I start my real life as Azymus Evanclear. And now, I can't turn back, I have to keep going, or i'll fall.

And if I fall, the world falls with me. To leave behind a wasteland of ash, ruled by a demon.

That night, after he'd thought hard, and fallen asleep, Azymus dreamed.
