Welcome!

to the common room

You follow obidiently as a tall, handsome prefect with wavy blonde hair leads you out of the great hall. "First years! First years, this way!" He calls out towards you and a group of other scared looking kids. The prefect strides of in the direction of the dungeons, and you and your peers scramble to follow him. "Stay close!" the prefect called. He leads you down a long, dark hallway, past numerous portraits glaring at you with curiousity as you pass. The prefect stops so suddenly you almost fall trying to not run into him. "Pure Blood!" his voice rings out and echoes of the dungeon walls. Before your very eyes the wall moves forward, revealing a room filled with giant leather armchairs cast in a green glow. There is a fireplace, and a large carving of a snake mounted on the wall. You clamber inside behind everybody, a little scared to touch anything. There are two dark staircases leading up, to who knows where. "Welcome," the prefect breathed, "to the Slytherin common room!"

Quotes

By Slytherins

Azkaban – the wizard prison, Goyle. Honestly if you were any slower you'd be going backwards.
-Draco Malfoy

Or perhaps in Slytherin, You'll make your real friends. Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends.
-The Sorting Hat

The Inquisitional Squad, Granger; A select group of students who are supportive of the Ministry of Magic, hand-picked by Professor Umbridge. Anyway, members of the Inquisitional Squad do have the power to dock points… so, Granger, I'll have five from you for being rude about our new Headmistress. Macmillan, five for contradicting me. Five because I don't like you, Potter. Weasley, your shirt's untucked, so I'll have another five for that. Oh yeah, I forgot, you're a Mudblood, Granger, so ten off for that.
-Draco Malfoy
