Dungeon Corridor level 1

LOCATION: THe Dungeons... Lost.

THOUGHTS: THE FIRST NIGHT!

MOOD: Stressed.

The first night... The FIRST NIGHT, of being in this large castle, and already Matt got lost. He could easily predict how this year was going to turn out for him from this single encounter with nothing. He had passed down the same corridor twice in a row before he finally bumped into someone. An older student, white hair, and Fourth Year by the looks of him. At least he knew how to get to the dorms. So sadly, with a sigh he spoke up to him. "I'm lost you mind guiding me to the Common Room? I think I found the Hufflepuff's three times by now..." He had heard that the Hufflepuffs hid behind a portrait of a large bowl of fruit... He hit that portrait twice.

What makes you happy?

I wonder... what makes you happy...

Does it make others happy, too?

 

[Ronyo Storm]

Ronyo Storm - Slytherin
Fourth Year
Slytherin Table

His sightseeing had only gotten him so far it seemed. Ronyo was hoping to maybe see the grounds and some of the lower level halls but it seemed the filing of students came shortly after his own departure. Ronyo had done his best to avoid the quickly running first years as the swarmed this way and that in a chaotic style of following their prefects. The boy could hardly blame them though as he remembered his first night at the school. Despite his odd feelings about his house placement there was still the constant running surge of joy and excited emotions. Those he had suppressed but that was Ronyo after all, and he could only imagine how another kid would react in his place.

So down into the basement levels and still further down he went. Ronyo had already outpaced even the Hufflepuffs as they filed now to the basement and on to the kitchen area and those interesting barrels. Truly among the secret entrances the Hufflepuff house had the most interesting and it came with a security device. One he had heard a few times sprung on some overly nosy Slytherins or some to curious Ravenclaws who wished to test their problem solving skills. A chuckle came to Ronyo wondering if any new members to the silver and emerald would be foolish enough to attempt the task this year. The chuckle had broken his concentration which he did not mind as he was just going over his normal sensory exercises.

Ronyo had done the motions, the breathing, and the mental focusing over and over during his attempt at sightseeing. Now he was going to make his way to the common room and await the prefects and the password but his motion forward was suddenly stopped by another. The boy wore the newly emblazoned snake and shield along with the hint of green coming from underneath his robes. The look on the boy's face was one of initial worry and then possible salvation, and with a smile the observant white haired boy could almost see the words before they were spoken.

"Good thing you didn't try it though, wouldn't want to stink up the common room on your first night, not a way to start making friends. Right then follow me and we can wait at the entrance for the prefect. I haven't the password yet as the Slytherin prefects always like to keep it super secret on the first night. Once you hear it make sure you remember it well as it won't likely be said again. If you forget it best to find someone you trust will tell it to you again, they say it's all part of the Slytherin way. Honestly I've never seen anything good come of it, so should you need the password again just find me," Ronyo chuckled a bit as he walked on with the new student in tow, "You'll find I'm a bit of the outcast amongst the snake bunch as I don't agree with many of the less than honorable ideas. A bit of each house a few say I have in me, apparently the Slytherin side showed up stronger to the hat. Back then I couldn't have told you why but I'm starting to learn and understand what the hat hoped for me," It was then Ronyo laughed a bit as he turned to the boy and extended his hand, "Pardon the lack of manners, still a bit tired from the train ride. Names Ronyo Storm, fourth year and house Quidditch captain, we're letting first years have a go at try-outs again this year if you fill up for it."
