Amelia tried to remember what had happened, and it was just a big blank. "Well... I dunno what happened." She shook her head. "Maybe I just ate something bad." She shrugged. "Come on, let's get to the common room, Keaton! I wanna see it." She tried to sound excited. She still didn't want to be in Slytherin, but... Maybe there would be perks to it as well. "Classes start tomorrow, so I wanna make sure that everything is ready before bed."
Before anything else could happen, the nurse came back out, and took a few quick measurements before telling them they were good to go. "Just come back if anything happens, dearie!" She called as the trio left the hospital wing. They made their way down into the basement, where the Slytherin common room was.
"Password?" An old, musty painting of a scowling wizard in priest's robes spoke as they approached. "I've already been interrupted tonight, you might as well go on and interrupt me another time. And go ahead and tell all your friends that they can interrupt me whenever the hell they want, with no concern for my personal feelings."
Amelia looked up at the picture, unsure of what to say. "I... apologize..." She finally said, looking a little hesitant. "I didn't mean to interrupt you..."
The picture of the scowling priest seemed to cheer up a little bit at that. "Well, finally, we have a young witch with manners, hmm? Glad to hear it. If you'll kindly give me the password, I'll let you in, and can get back to doing my business."
