. . . . Down and down you go, plunging into the depths of the dungeon.  After saying the magic word, you duck low to enter into the room before you.  Now you stand in the Slytherin Common Room.

Students stand or sit around in large groups, talking and laughing loudly.  The air down here is cold and stale, and the attitudes of the people seem to reflect that.  The room is awash in green light, cast from old lanterns that adorn the walls.  Green couches and chairs line the walls, forming little circles.  The house crest can be seen adorning nearly everything.  A fire burns in the fire place, crackling and leaping, but it does not seem to chase away the damp.  A scraggly first year strides up to you, giving you a good look-over.

"Should have known you'd be in Slytherin too.  After all, we are the only house worth being in.  You have to be mighty clever to get in here," he sneers, before marching back to join his new friends.
