"Parseltongue."
The wall began to open to reveal the stairs to the Slytherin common room.
"Wow." Stephanie says, eyes wide in amazement.
"Coooool." Grace says, her jaw practically on the floor.
"This is amazing!" Jessica says, excitedly.
"This, dear 1st years, is the walkway to the Slytherin common room." The prefect says to them. "Now, if you'd like to follow me."
They follow the prefect down the steep staircase, into a dimly lit room filled with furniture corresponding to the Slytherin colours.
"Wow." The three girls say together.
"Meh." Chloe says, not as impressed as she was informed with all the details.
"I expected better." Draco says, as he steps forward by his sisters side.
"Oh, lighten up, Draco." Chloe says, elbowing him.
"No, I like the dark perfectly fine, thank you very much." He huffs, arms crossed.
"Do you always have the attitude of a 5 year old?" Jessica asks, leaning forward to look past the girls.
"Oh, shut up, Weasley." Draco scoffs.
"Draco-" Chloe tries to break in.
"No, she's just some stupid blood-traitor! She doesn't belong here!"
"I hope you have life insurance because you're going to bloody well need it, when I get my hands on you!" Grace shouts, ready for battle.
"Grace, he's not even worth it." Jessica says, holding her back.
"Yeah, he's all bark no bite." Stephanie adds, glaring at the blonde demon child.
"I'm not worried about you, stupid mudblood! And you don't belong here either!" Draco says, before his sister can cut him off.
"Draco! Stop!" Chloe shouts, jumping in front of him, blocking the girls.
"You're for it!" Jessica growls, letting go of Grace and beginning to stomp over. "Stephanie hold her back!"
"More like, I should be holding you back!" Stephanie shouts, from behind.
Before anything can happen, the prefect intervenes. "Enough." Is all he says, before walking off.
"You heard the man!" Pansy shouts, making herself known, swaggering over to Draco and his sister, who are currently arguing. "You owe me one, I just saved your ass." She winks at Draco before sauntering off.
"Ughh, not her again." Chloe sighs.

After a lot of forced apologising from Draco, courtesy of his sister, the four girls are now in their selected room. As they are chatting, sitting on their beds, a certain hated person walks in, her two lackeys following.
"This wasn't evidently our choice, everywhere else was full." Pansy snarls, glancing between the three empty beds and the four girls.
"What you staring at?" Stephanie demands.
Pansy completely ignores her and walks over to one of the beds, setting her stuff down and then sits on it, turning in their direction, her gaze fixed on Chloe. Her lackeys, Millicent Bulstrode and Penelope Clearwater copying her actions like trained dogs.
"Shame the company you keep, Malfoy, thought you were better than that. I mean, c'mon, a Weasley blood-traitor, a Granger mudblood and Hogwarts new celeb, Potterella. What would your father say?" Pansy snarks. Before Chloe can even think of replying, Jessica who was unpacking -putting clothes in a drawer- slams the drawer closed and turns to glare at Pansy rather abruptly.
In the most serious tone and facial expression, she says. "Are you having a giggle?"
"Who do you think you are, coming in here all high and mighty, giving your opinion on us, when you don't know a thing about us." Grace snaps.
"I know exactly who I am, my name's Pansy." She says, puffing her chest out, as if she was proud.
"Don't try and act smart." Chloe glares.
"Oh, but I'm not acting."
"If that's your opinion." Stephanie sighs.
"It is."
"It's okay, you're entitled to your wrong opinion." Grace smiles sweetly, mockingly.
"I sure am - wait! Don't trick me like that!"
"She never tricked you, you're just too dense to notice." Jessica says, smugly.
"Pansy, don't ever insult my friends." Chloe says, dangerously angry looking. "I think it would be a benefit to all of us, if you just unpack and go the hell to sleep."
Right enough, she doesn't have a comeback to that and obeys. After they finish unpacking, the four say goodnight to each other and act as though the other three girls aren't present.
"Stupid room. Stupid roommates. Stupid girls." Pansy mutters over and over, eyes closed, lying in bed. well her eyes were closed, until a pillow was hurled at her.
"Go to sleep!" Stephanie hisses, having had enough of her stupid rambling.
"Exactly." The other three agree, eyes shut.
"Who threw tha-" Pansy begins.
"I think you should get your beauty sleep, Pansy." Millicent says.
"I agree." Penelope states.
"Yeah, you're right." She says as she closes her eyes again.
"Beauty sleep? Yeah, right!" Grace snorts, eyes closed. "Sure as hell need to try harder."
"What did you just say?!" Pansy's eyes shoot open.
"She sleep talks." Jessica states.
"Ughh." Her eyes close yet again.
Everyone soon falls asleep, except two. Jessica and Grace are on their sides facing each other, their eyes open and Grace winks. Jessica mimics the action and they both fall asleep as well.
