Chapter VII Common Room
After a satisfying meal, Slytherin's newly enrolled snakes were led by the chief to walk towards the common room.
Two fifth-grade chiefs, Ignatius Pwitter and Cedrira Black, signaled the young wizards to follow, and they walked out of the auditorium gate and entered a door on the side of the entrance court. Inside was an invisible spiral staircase that stretched downwards, and Slytherin's common room was on the bottom floor.
Walking on the stairs, Ignatius reminded: "I hope you all remember this road. In comparison, our Slytherin location is easy to remember, just keep going down."
Cedrera said proudly: "If you can't remember the road, you will lose Slytherin's face."
Even at Slytherin Academy, most of the young wizards did not have the confidence of family members like Xiwen and Abu, and were frightened and remembered the route they walked with fear.
After almost five minutes of leaving, the surroundings became darker and there were only a few torches emitting a faint green fire. Xiwen felt that they had probably entered the bottom of the lake.
Finally, they stopped in front of a stone wall. Ignatius said to the stone wall: "Born noble."
Several cracks were cracked in the stone wall, and a stone door appeared on the wall.
"This is our common room," said Ignatius. "Remember this wall and our password. The idiot who can't remember will wait for classmates to enter at the stairs, but I hope this situation will not happen!"
Cedrila first stepped into the lounge impatiently, waved her hand to signal the girl to follow, and she walked towards the side door next to the lounge.
He said good night to El Chiona, and Xiwen followed the boys and Ignatius in the lounge.
The Slytherin's communal lounge is like a long, low dungeon, with round green lights tied to chains and hung from the ceiling. Carved chairs are placed here for students to rest, and some skulls are decorated.
Part of the dungeon extends to the bottom of the lake, so the room has a green tone. The walls and ceilings are made of rough stone, and a fire is burned under a beautifully carved mantel.
Maybe it was built at the bottom of the lake, the common room seemed a bit cold and wet.
Ignatius kindly took the freshman to walk around the lounge and gave a rough 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, and we usually can't see it. But if you are lucky, you might be able to see a big octopus passing by from a distance."
Hearing this, Abu became interested: "If you find the right location, you can jump directly from the lake to see our common room?"
"I advise you not to think like this. The creatures in the Black Lake are not vegetarians." Ignatius said, and then he suddenly lowered his voice. "I heard that the mermaids in the Lake are human-eating."
Abu was startled by his low voice and instantly lost interest in diving and other things.
Hearing the words of mermaid, Xiwen asked with a sudden idea: "Is there a mermaid in the lake? Is there a mermaid?"
Ignatius couldn't understand what this was, and answered in confusion: "With male merman, there will naturally be female mermaids, otherwise how would they breed offspring?"
Xiwen said: "That's not what I mean, I mean a mermaid! It's the kind of mermaid with long hair and good figure."
Ignatius said melancholy: "No matter how mermaids are like elsewhere, the mermaids in Hogwarts Black Lake are not as beautiful as they are. Iron gray skin, messy hair, incomplete teeth. If you are interested, you will wait in the common room and sooner or later you will see them..."
After imagining the appearance of a mermaid, Xiwen swallowed.
"Forget it, I won't talk about anything else..."
Seeing that the little wizards were not very interested, Ignatius took them to the dormitory with considerateness, "You should be tired after running around for a day, so take a break early!"
Bypassing several long fish tanks with ceilings, several boys came to a door decorated with emeralds. Through the green gems, you could see the four beds inside.
After saying goodbye to the chief, they walked towards their beds separately, and their luggage had been placed next to their respective cabinets.
Due to the tension in the wizarding world, there are very few freshmen in this class, and there are only four boys in Slytherin, who are divided into one dormitory.
In addition to Given and Abraxas, there are two boys.
"Please take care of me in the future. I am Mobri Vorrey." A blond-haired boy introduced himself while sitting on the bed.
"Worley?" Abraxas looked up at him. "Is it the Worley family I know?"
Mobri nodded proudly: "I am the heir of the Worre family. I know you, you are from the Malfoy family."
"Abraxas Malfoy." Abu shook his hand with Mobri who stood up and walked towards him.
The Worley family where Mobri Vorley is located is also a relatively famous pure-blood family in the British magic circle. Although it is not among the twenty-eight holy clans, it maintains a good relationship with many pure-blood families. After self-introduction, his identity was recognized by Abraxas.
Mobri then looked at Xiwen who was plucking things out of the pocket watch and another brown-haired boy who was silently packing his luggage.
"Xiven Rozier." Xiven said his name.
Mobri said: "Are you from the Rozier family? I'm glad to know you!"
After Xiwen and Mobri shook hands, the three of them looked at the remaining brown-haired boy.
He is different from the glamorous Xiwen and the other two. His clothes are wrinkled and look a little worn. His thin cheeks look like they are malnourished.
The boy was silent for a while and whispered: "My name is Gomez Gris."
Abraxas thought for a moment: "I don't seem to have heard of the Gris family."
Mobri nodded and said, "So much me."
Seeing Mobri look at him, Xiwen shook her head and said, "If even Abu doesn't know, I won't know."
Gomez's face looked even more ugly, and he said heavily: "I am a mixed race, and my father is a Muggle."
Abraxas and Mobri suddenly lost interest and continued to work hard.
Seeing that Gomez was a little depressed, Xiwen comforted her and said, "Don't care too much, Gris. Everyone will be roommates in the future, so take care of them more."
After all, after a day of running around, a few people were sleepy when they packed up their things and had no interest in chatting.
Gomez Gris hurriedly lay on the bed and didn't want to communicate anymore, and he didn't even have time to pack his luggage.
Xiwen and the other two didn't say much, they tidied up the bed and fell asleep...
