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.

[ katerina imagines it may be a little too much if she tells clementine she's doing a perfect job at tutoring right now. she imagines it'd be met with a surprised "really?" and even doubt. not all teachers had to wear the title of "professor" to be able to teach someone a valuable lesson. ]

You can do whatever you want. [ it's a lesson katerina has to learn herself. if she wants to embrace a new life, then she has to let herself begin to learn how to walk toward and with it. ] Be a teacher — here, Beauxbatons, even in a Muggle school. Walk on the moon. Invent cars. Become a dog whisperer. Train thestrals. [ katerina smiles at the end of it, not quite grasping hold of the traction she's built in her own confident voice. ]

[ she simmers down. ] I guess you just have to realise you need to take chances. [ and that's something she has to learn, once again. ]
