Eventually, the feast comes to an end, and you and the other Slytherin girls and boys are led to the House Slytherin Common Room and Dormitories, by your prefects and Housemaster, Professor Severus Snape. You are all talking excitedly to one another, before Snape calls for silence.
Snape looks older than you remember, and older than Bellatrix, who was at School with him
“Quiet please,” Snape intones loudly, as if it were an enchantment. Something about his voice makes all of you obey.
“Unlike the rabble inducted into other Houses, in House Slytherin, we value self-discipline and respect. Please enter the common room quietly and listen to your prefects. There will be plenty of time for chatter after you have been assigned to your dormitories.”
You smile at Lily and take her hand, whispering in her ear.
“We can share a room if you like?” You whisper to her, “Don’t worry Lily, you stick with me and I’ll see you’re alright.”
Lily smiles back as the House prefects and Professor Snape lead you down several stair cases and into the Dungeons, and the concealed entrance to House Slytherin proper.
“Ok, listen up first years,” an attractive older girl with auburn hair and green eyes says, “my name is Gemma Farley, and I’m one of the House Prefects for Slytherin. Here is where the hidden entrance is to our House. To enter, you need to say the password. It does change occasionally, but at the moment, it is Potentia Altiore.”
Gemma is a pretty seventeen year old
As the girl says the words, meaning Power Above All, a blank section of stone wall suddenly has a large stone serpent slither along it, forming an archway with its body. The servant moves in the same hideous way as your Guardian Statue and is perhaps animated by similar magics. One the archway is formed, the stones of the wall seem to magically dissolve, opening a magical doorway for you all to step through.
You descend a further set of curving stairs, passing a large fountain and enter the Slytherin House Common Room.
You are used to the dark ambience of Pureblood decor, but Lily seems a little surprised
“Why are the windows green Emily?” Lily asks you, whispering in your ear.
“It’s the lake,” you explain, “we’re underneath the lake we sailed across to enter Hogwarts. It’s night now though, so it must be a magical light. They’ll probably turn it off when it’s time to sleep.”
“Follow me girls,” Gemma says, and leads you in the direction of the girls dormitories.
