Slytherin Common Room

[Gifted]

Ryan was really, really excited. This time, she wouldn't be the one sitting there and taking it. This time, she was doing it to the first years, rather than having it done to her.

Jesse looked at everyone. She held up 3 fingers and silently counted down. 3...2...1... Levicorpus!

[Raven]

Beatrice did the spell at exactly the same time, and Andrea was lifted by one leg off her bed.

Faint shrieks of surprise and pain came from where Jeremiah was orchestrating an attack on the boys.

[Sar]

August woke up with a start being pulled out of her bed starting a yell, fighting against the invisible force pulling her up.

Riley thought the spell and looked at the girl in front of her, only four years ago it had been her in that position. She never wanted it to be like that again.

[Raven]

Lynn screamed, her hair like a waterfall beneath her. "Let me go," she wailed helplessly as she hung by her leg.

[Sar]

"Muffliato," Riley said calmly. The student could scream all they wanted but all that nayone else outside the room would hear is a light buzzing noise, one she had learned to love since it mean it wasn't her night to be tortured.

[Gifted]

Andrea cried out in fright as she was lifted by one leg and suspended by the ankle. She struggled uselessly, but it wwas no use.

"Welcome, first years!" Jesse laughed. "Welcome to the Slytherin initiation! You've got to prove you're worthy to be in this house! Now, we're gonna let you down, then you're gonna walk out of here and stand in a line facing us. Anyone cries out, complains, or whines gets this," she pointed her wand at August's leg and said quite clearly "Diffendo" A long deep cut slashed itself into Augusts leg. "Capiece? Now come on" Liberacorpus! August fell back onto her bed.

[Sar]

August shrieked in pain as the spell opened a gash in her leg. She fell onto to bed shortly after and looked up at the older students, her cousin being among them. "Riley!" She said to her cousin to help,waiting for the girl to come to her rescue, but she did nothing but concentrate on Lynn falling back down to her bed. August got up and stood, more pain rushing to her leg. She wanted to follow the others to stay safe but it already seemed like blending into the crowd was no longer a plan. She slowly moved towards the door, being the last to make it into the common room.

[Gifted]

"Diffendo!" Jesse cried, pointing at Augusts cheek. "What did I just say? Now get off your damn beds and go out!"

Andrea lept off her bed immeaditley. For now, the key to getting in was obidience, and she would be just that. She walked out into the common room.

[Raven]

Beatrice dropped Andrea on the bed as well, and she couldn't help but laugh herself.
Lynn fell, narrowly missing her cat. She was just glad Mao hadn't been underneath her. That weight would have probably killed the kitten. She got up to follow Andrea and August, but as she did so, she recognized two members of her family. Her sister, and her cousin. "Beatrice? Riley? B-but... Why are you being so mean?" she blurted before she could recall her orders.
Beatrice muttered, "Diffindo," and a gash opened on Lynn's shoulder.
Lynn looked about ready to cry as she backed into the common room.

Meanwhile, Jeremiah was herding the first-year boys out into the common room.

[Sar]

The first spell that came to mind was just a silly charm. "Aguamenti!" Riley said, drenching her cousin in ice cold water. It wasn't a violent spell but this being her first initiation as an upperclassman she didn't know how much freedom she had.

[Gifted]

Jesse rolled her eyes at Riley and walked into the common room where the others were herding first-years. After hexing a few who refused to get into line, Jesse turned to the line of first years. "Alright, listen up!" She snapped. "You might have thought this was gonna be a happy little family. Keep dreaming. To be a real Slytherin, you've got to work hard. You've got to be tough. Because we're going to the toop this year, no matter what it takes to get us there. You will uphold the Slytherin name. You there," She rounded on August, as if she'd chosen randomly. "Your name." She demanded

[Sar]

August swallowed and said quickly "August Hawthorn," She looked up at the head girl, making eye contact with her.

Riley watch as one of her cousins were addressed. 'Don't fuck this up Augusta,' she thought to herself.

[Gifted]

"Your Bloodline?" She asked, though she knew very well what it was, having known Riley for awhile now

[Sar]

August made sure to keep eye contact, looking up at the seventh year, she being much taller than her. "Pure Blood," she said, not moving her gaze even a bit. Her leg was still stinging from the pain, blood staining her pajama bottoms.

[Gifted]

Jesse grinned. Nezza had been right, this girl had alot of spirit. "Well, August Hawthorn, will you be loyal to the Slytherin house and only the Slytherin House?"
