Chương 24: Common Room

Anos's POV"Now all house students please follow your prefects to your respective common rooms," Dumbledore said when everyone was finally finished with their food. Students started going out of the great hall in groups with the Weasley Twins giving a wink to Ron which seemed to add nothing to his despairing face. Now we were left with a little problem. Where the fuck was house Dragon's common room. It wasn't like an angel was gonna descend from the heavens to guide us to the place.

"Uh... We're still here." Ron finally said and finally, every professor was looking at us.

"Ah yes, Ron we must get you to your common room I suppose," Dumbledore said chirpily.

"But I didn't read anything about a house Dragon in any of the books," Hermione asked.

"Well Ms. Granger some things are better left unwritten and forgotten but in this case, we simply couldn't do the latter," Dumbledore replied and stood up." Well I'm feeling tired so let's go," I said and stood up. It took a few moments but everyone else also started following Dumbledore towards the end of the Great Hall but instead of going out Dumbledore asked the other Professor's to take their leave and then closed the door.

"Our school's motto is Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus which, translated from Latin, means 'Never tickle a sleeping dragon'," Dumbledore said as he pulled hard on a torch at one of the walls.

'Yeah as if a conscious dragon would roll on the ground and ask for belly rubs. Sleeping or not you do not want to have your ass split open by one of those scaly lizards.' I thought with a frown behind my mask." 7th torch from the right. Remember this." He said and everyone nodded. Suddenly the glass behind the Professor's table split up to reveal a Black door glittered with gold. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

All of us moved towards it and as we came closer I could see a particularly large Red Lock in the middle of the Door. Dumbledore stopped in front of the door and looked at me which promptly made the others look at me too.

"What? You don't have a key or anything?" I asked Dumbledore.

"Draconic minds think alike." He said sagely. Oh god, why was everyone going Socrates on my innocent ass today.

"So I gotta piss on it or something?" I asked.

"Well if that is your first thought then maybe that will work." Dumbledore replied." Nah. I'll rather do this," I said and bit my finger to draw blood. I then made an inscription on the lock.

"Everyone get back. Either this will blow up the door or it will blow up our assholes." I said and joined my index finger with my middle finger." Cursed Technique: Shinobi's Creed," I said and with a bang, the door shook and gave off an ancient roar before opening the slightest bit." Truly fascinating magic! But do remember that the Headmaster is allowed to cut points from your house." Dumbledore said with interest.

"Well our house has 0 points right now and you were the one that banned negative marking in Hogwarts." I said and Ron gave a heavy cough. It was a well known fact that this particular rule came into effect because too many Weasley's were having to attend Hogwarts for a lot more than their pockets allowed. I went ahead and opened the door.

"Well let's get going," I said and everyone except Dumbledore went in one by one.

"You're not coming?" I asked and Dumbledore shook his head.

"Here." He shook his wand and all of our luggage appeared in front of me.

"Remember to not be late for Breakfast little Anos. The Cereal can get incredibly soggy and I don't think anyone short of an 80 year old would find that particularly appetizing." He said and then apparated out of the Hall.

"Well, that was certainly something." I said and entered the room to ask everyone to grab their own luggage. As soon as I entered the gate slammed shut behind me.

"Well, that's certainly not ominous." As soon as I saw the room I absolutely loved it. A beautiful fireplace in the corner that I was most likely never gonna sit around, walls colored dark black, comfy looking chairs, a large round table in the middle, some chess boards that looked ancient, and a particularly large Symbol above the fireplace. Now with a house named 'Dragon' you'll expect the symbol to be a Dragon but it must be the worst imitation of a Dragon I had ever seen if it even was that.

The Symbol had a body of a lion, wings of an Eagle, a tail that was a snake, and the face of a bear. A Chimera then.

'That honestly looks like an eldritch abomination.' I thought before finally noticing Harriet and the others looking dumbly at the sky.

"What's so great... Holy fucking hell I love this room."
