Chapter 3: Common room
Chapter 3
As we walked around the school I was amazed to find much stuff there for a recently looking medieval castle. We found passageways, secret tunnels, and more without trying. It was like the school wanted us to. It was nearing the end of the day so we ended the walk at the great hall and all went to our different house common rooms. I was surprised when Austin said you didn’t need a password to get in like the other three house common rooms. He told me exactly what to do: tap the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, in the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff", which would make the lid swing open, exposing a passageway that would lead to the basement when crawled through. I was standing there wondering if this was a joke but when I did what he said to my surprise it worked, and I didn't get sprayed by vinegar. I crawled through the tunnel and it opened up to the most beautiful room I have ever seen. There was a row of gardens on the left and a big kitchen to the right with everything you could imagine. It was like a big maze of underground tunnels. After a while, I met up with Austin in the center of the common room (a great big cozy room with yellow walls, banners, armchairs, and a nice fire).
“Oh, Hey you made it” yelled Austin, from across the room walking away from his friends. “Yeah,” I said, kinda embarrassed. “So welcome to Hufflepuff, I hope you like it,” said Austin. “Yeah I guess so,” I said, shrugging.
After I finished talking with Austin I walked back to my room and sat on my bed to think about my first day and hoped that Ana was with me. Then I heard a weird voice coming from what seemed like nowhere. It said, “Ava I am coming to kill you”. I screamed and the voice laughed, after that the voice came into view. It was Ana, she started to laugh again and I joined in after a while. “ You should have seen the look on your face, it was hilarious,” said Ana. “Wait but how did you get the invisibility cloak”, and she told me the story. “Come on, let's go find Amber and Celestia and tell them what happened”. We met them in the great hall and told them some of what happened but after a while, Ana said “Let's go into my dorm and talk more there.” and so we all went under the cloak and walked through the castle trying not to make too much noise when finally we reached the common room door. Ana's common room door was not like mine. There was a portrait in front of it turns out that we had to say the right password and the portrait swung open. Her common rooms had marble floors and big statues all around. As we walked up the stairs to the right we came to her dorm. There were four beds. Three were nice and polished, clean and new but the fourth one was dusty, old, and dirty. We took off the cloak and locked the door (without magic). I sat down on one of the new beds
“Hey Ana, I love your beds but I think ours are better,” I said, amazed. “ Well, long story, that's not my bed, they didn’t have any place for me to sleep so they got this for me.” replied Ana “How dare they disgrace the family by this piece of trash,” I said kinda angry. “Woah, it’s ok I Sleep on the floor and this is a step up from the floor so I am not complaining,” she said not mad.” Next Ana told us she had something to show us so we watch as she lifted the old bed and under there was a secret passageway going under the whole castle, and it lead to the four dormitories, there was also a room filled with years worth of ton tongue toffees and Skiving Snackbox. It was amazing, the first thing she said when we got down there was, let's go and give some Ton Tongue Toffees to Erin and Austin.
