Chapter VII Common Rooms
After a contented meal, the Slytherin newly-enrolled snakes were led by the prefect to the common room.
The two fifth-year prefects, Ignatius Prewitt and Cedreira Black, motioned for the young wizards to follow, and they stepped out of the Great Hall door and into a door on the side of the chamber, where an endless spiral staircase stretched down, with the Slytherin common room at the bottom.
Walking up the stairs, Ignatius reminded, "I hope you can all remember this path, compared to our Slytherin location is easy to remember, just keep going down." ”
Cedreela said proudly: "If you can't remember the way, drop out of school as soon as possible, and keep it will be a loss for Slytherin." ”
Even in Slytherin House, most of the young wizards did not have the family strength of Xiwen and Abu, and they were so frightened that they trembled to memorize the route they walked.
After walking for about five minutes, the surroundings were getting darker and darker, except for a few torches emitting a faint green glow, and Xiwen felt that they had probably gone deep into the bottom of the lake.
Finally, they stopped in front of a stone wall. Ignatius said to the stone wall: "Born noble. ”
The stone wall cracked a few cracks, and a stone door appeared on the wall.
"This is our common room." Ignatius said. "Remember this wall and our password, and fools who can't remember will honestly wait for their classmates to go in at the top of the stairs, but I hope this doesn't happen!"
Sedrella impatiently entered the lounge first, beckoning the girl to follow, and she walked to the side door of the lounge.
Saying goodnight to Elciona, Xiwen and the group of boys visit the break room with Ignatius.
The Slytherin common room resembles a long, narrow, low dungeon, with round, green-glowing lamps chained and hung from the ceiling. There are carved chairs for students to rest and some skulls as decoration.
Part of the dungeon extends to the bottom of the lake, so the rooms take on a greenish hue. The walls and ceiling are made of rough stone, and a fire burns under an intricately carved fireplace.
Probably because it was built on the bottom of the lake, the common room felt a bit cold and damp.
Ignatius kindly took the freshmen around the lounge and gave them a general introduction.
He pointed to the window on the wall of the lounge and said to the freshmen, "Outside the window is the water of the Black Lake, there are many magical animals living in the Black Lake, they usually don't leave their territory, we usually don't see them. However, if you are lucky, you may be able to see a large octopus passing by from afar. ”
Hearing this, Abu became interested: "If you find the right position, you can jump directly from the lake and see our common room." ”
"I advise you not to have such thoughts, the creatures in the Black Lake are not vegetarians." Ignatius said, and then he suddenly lowered his voice. "I heard that the merfolk in the lake eat people."
Abu was startled by his deep voice, and instantly lost interest in diving or something.
Hearing the words merfolk, Xiwen asked on a whim, "Are there Merpeople in the lake?" Is there a mermaid? ”
Ignatius didn't understand what this was at all, and replied in confusion: "If there are male mermen, there will naturally be female mermaids, otherwise how would they reproduce their offspring?" ”
Xiwen said: "That's not what I mean, I mean mermaids!" It's the kind of mermaid with long hair and a good figure. ”
Ignatius said melancholy: "No matter what happens to the merfolk elsewhere, the merfolk in the Black Lake of Hogwarts can't talk about beauty at all anyway. Iron-gray skin, unkempt hair, mutilated teeth. If you're interested, you'll be waiting in the common room and you'll see them sooner or later......"
Imagining the appearance of a mermaid, Xiwen swallowed.
"Forget it, why don't you talk about something else......"
Seeing that the little wizards' interest was not too high, Ignatius took them to the dormitory considerately, "You should all be tired after a day of traveling, rest early!" ”
Bypassing several long fish tanks with ceilings, the boys came to a door decorated with emerald gemstones, through which the four beds could be seen.
After saying goodbye to the prefect, they went their separate ways to their beds, their luggage already placed on the side of their respective cabinets.
Due to the tensions in the wizarding world, there were very few freshmen in this class, and there were only four boys among the freshmen in Slytherin, and they were placed in the same dormitory.
In addition to Shevin and Abraxas, there are two boys.
"Roommates, take care of me in the future, I'm Mobley Worley." A blonde-haired boy introduced himself as he sat on his bed.
"Wore?" Abraxas glanced up at him. "Is that the Worray family I know?"
Mobley nodded proudly: "I am the heir of this generation of the Vorray family. I know you, you're from the Malfoy family. ”
"Abraxas Malfoy." Abu shook Mobley's hand as he got up and walked towards him.
Mobley Worley's Worley family is also a well-known pure-blood family in the British wizarding world, although it is not among the twenty-eight holy families, it maintains a good relationship with many pure-blood families. After introducing himself, his identity was recognized by Abraxas.
Mobley then looked at Shevan, who was pulling something out of his pocket watch, and another brown-haired boy who was silently packing his luggage.
"Shivin Rozier." Shivin said his name.
Mobley said, "The Rozier family?" Nice to meet you! ”
After Shivin and Mobley shook hands, all three looked at the remaining brown-haired boy.
He was not quite the same as the brightly dressed Xiwen trio, his clothes were wrinkled and looked a little shabby. The thin cheeks looked like they were malnourished.
The boy was silent for a moment and then whispered, "My name is Gomez Gris." ”
Abraxas thought for a moment: "I don't seem to have heard of the Griese family. ”
Mobley nodded, "Me too." ”
Seeing Mobley looking at him, Shivin shook his head and said, "If even Abu doesn't know, then I don't know." ”
Gomez's face became more and more ugly, and he said heavily, "I'm half-blood, and my father is a Muggle. ”
Abraxas and Mobley lost interest and went their separate ways.
Seeing that Gomez's mood was a little low, Siwen comforted, "Don't worry too much, Gris. In the future, everyone will be roommates, so take care of it a little more. ”
After all, it was still a day of rushing, and a few people were sleepy when they casually packed up their things, and they didn't have much interest in chatting.
And Gomez Gris hurriedly lay down on the bed and didn't want to communicate more, and he didn't even have time to pack his luggage.
The three of them didn't say much, made their beds, and went to sleep deeply......
