Mistress Of Magic

13 ~

We follow our prefects to the dungeons. When we reach the entrance we all face the jet black door. there was a pillar next to it that held a snake carving that coiled around the height of it.

"integritas" the Prefect days the password just loud enough for us to hear it. Of course, the password was Latin for purity. Also meaning Untouched, complete, and unharmed. "This way. Girls to the left, Boys to the right. Before you go off to find your rooms our head of house will want to speak you you all."

We all walk into the common room and look around. The room had an incredibly high ceiling, just like the rest of this place, with snake carvings and black leather sofas. There were two emerald green velvet armchairs in front of each fire. What drew my attention the most was the slight throne-like chair that sat on a platform of sorts in the centre of the back wall.

"That was Salazar Slytherins chair. Only an heir of his can sit in it, if anyone else tries they get hexed" The female prefect next to me says when she notices where my attention is.

"Lady potter you should try" Draco speaks up from nearby making the whole house turn to face me, even Snape as he walks in. "Didn't you hear what I just said, She will be hexed if she does."

"She also a Lady of Slytherin" He shrugs at the prefect as if it's nothing. Even turns back to me again and I nod the let them know it's true. ~Awaken~ at my command the snake carvings around the room begin to more and reform, They each lose their stone colouring and begin to glow white before turning green and silver. Each shining like metal. I then walk to the centre of the room and crouch down, I place my palms on the floor and let my magic seep into the castle.

The others gasp at the feel of my magic while they watch the common room change. It became brighter, less cold. It becomes more regal in appearance. I crystal chandelier dropped from the ceiling and hung above us. The glass glittering like diamonds. The fireplaces turned from grey stone to carved obsidian, The flames turned to a forest green. One of the walls becomes lined with mirrors edged in bronze leaves, each a different shape and size. A new part of the common room appeared.

We all stepped down into it to have a look. Since we were now below the black lake the ceiling was made of glass and allowed us to look into the lake. Everyone was in awe of their new common room. Draco grins and grabs my arm, he pulls me over to the throne and steps back leaving me there. Everyone waits to see what will happen next to I take my seat. I feel a rush of magic go through me making me shiver slightly from the raw power of it. I felt my clothes change to a floor-length emerald green dress with an empire waist and long belled sleeves.

I feel a weight on my forehead and resist the erg to look at it. I feel everyone's shock and admiration. I see Draco give me a cheeky smirk as he bows. "Princess of Slytherin" I knew he was joking, but the others copied his actions making me blush. When they stand back up I smile and stand with them, clearing my throat I turn to Snape. "I believe you wanted to give us a speech Professor."

"Yes, thank you. Welcome to Slytherin. I only have a few rules I expect each and every one of you will follow. Stand up for your fellow snakes. Don't go anywhere alone, always go as a group. and lastly don't get caught. I want each of you to ignore the judgment from others and be proud of your house. Your dorm rooms have your names on them, you will share four to a room. I suggest you all get to bed, you have lessons in the morning. Don't be late for breakfast, you will receive your schedules then. And Lords and Ladies your room will be through there." He points to the centre set of stairs at the back, opposite the entrance. There were also a set of stairs going either side to the normal dorm rooms.

"My office is down the hall, you can come to me if you need anything. Goodnight" With that he leaves, his robes billowing behind him as usual. I take Astara from her place on Draco's shoulders since she had been there since dinner. I was the only one who was a Lady or a Lord so I went up the middle set by myself. I choose the first room I come across and find a note on the door.

My dear lady,

Think of how you desire your room to look and it shall be.

The note disappears after I read it so I focus on what I want the room to look like. When I feel to usual feeling of magic I open my eyes and step into my room.
