Summary: Slytherin open log!
The Story:



The Slytherin common room was a long, low underground room with rough stone walls and ceiling, from which round, greenish lamps were hanging on chains. A fire was crackling under an elaborately carved mantelpiece ahead of them, and several Slytherins were silhouetted around it in carved chairs.

The common room has changed, somewhat, from its historical description, thanks to the decorative powers of one Mettaton. Though it still extends beneath the lake and thus retains a greenish, aquatic cast, it's much more brightly lit, its cold, damp atmosphere replaced with dazzling MTT-brand warmth. Even the giant squid, occasionally peering in as it does its rounds of the lake, seems just a shade more glamorous inside such a charming space.

Students - and a ghost or two - can be found nestled within its confines, plotting mischief around the fire, studiously doing their homework (as good students do), or perhaps trading Chocolate Frog trading cards. Though Slytherin is not especially well-known for its wide-open, trusting nature, Slytherins are known for not snitching on each other; if a guest or two were to creep in for a while, then odds are, nobody saw anything.

[She can't help but raise her eyebrows. He's baiting her, and she knows it. But at the same time... she's curious. Awfully curious.]

Alright, alright, I'll bite. You gotta tell me your plans, man.

We'll just backtag on Kurt's thread if it's ok.

[Aw, so much for the covert date. At least he still has the opportunity to take her somewhere?]

Well. Professor Weller was hosting a muggle movie marathon on Sunday. I hear he's going to be showing Star Wars, among other things.

Would you like to come see it with me?

sounds fine!!! do you have a starter?

[canofwhoopass]

Duuuude, Star Wars is awesome! Yeah, sure, I'll go.

[Muggle household, right here. Also, totally thinking this is a friend thing. Definitely.]

Have you ever seen them? I bet a ton of wizards haven't. I can't wait to hit the big spoiler reveals and watch 'em all flip.

I will in a little bit

[At this point, he doesn't care if she caught on to the date thing. He's managed to rope her in.]

Actually, no. But it's so big in muggle pop culture that a lot of wizards have at least heard of it.

cool! just lmk

Oh man dude, they're awesome! Sometimes people get like, all uppity that it's not accurate or whatever, but it's in space! It's so cool. I wonder what order he's showing them in. Is it just, like, the original 3 or the prequels too? They're kind of awful, but Padme is like, the best.

[Gotta love Padme Amidala, man.]

But yeah, sure, we can see 'em. Sounds fun.

To the movie thread!

[theothermrgray]

Accurate to what? Space wizards?

[Tee hee]

I have no idea, but there's only one way to find out...
