Room of Requirement

Kelsi stood inside it, breathing softly. She was safe. And she was in Hogwarts. She looked to the side, to her brother, and grinned. She'll be able to talk with him, and get on track with him... It'll be great! Plus, she's with her friends, and Libby promised to somehow bring them to the room where she'd be able to see them. They had gotten into the room easily- pleading and the magic sensed their need, and let them in immediately. Also, to her shock, she had seen that it was already occupied. By other muggle-borns. So, the hide-outs had begun! She sat on a bed in the huge room, and Fry took the bed on her side, and Robin took the bed on Fry's other side.

Outside the door, loud footsteps could be heard.

Clyde ran for his life, hair flying behind him. Damn it. Last time I make a remark on those orgres[Spelling?] who are mrophed with goblins! Clyde kept running, casting a short glance over his shoulder to seme them around the corner. Somewhere to hide and be safe... common.. He saw the door, not knowing where it would take him. He opened it, and ran in.

Slamming the door behind him, Clyde turned around to face the muggleborns. "What... the..."

People stood up, startled, and demanded who he was. But they knew. They knew he wasn't the people on their side. He was going to rat them out. So, they began walking towards him. They'd have to shut him up. No, they're not going to kill him. Just some threatening, and maybe keep him in here with them.

Clyde began to back up towards the door, trying to find a familiar face.

Nicolas was laying on one of the cots, sleeping. He had decided that He'd sneak on to Hogwarts, rather than continue to stay at the Silva household. Even though it was entertaining to see Max come home with the bat-bogey hex performed on him.

Kelsi looked up. "Hey, isn't he the one who attemped to rape me? And you, Robin?"

Fry's eyes widened. "WHAT?! Why didn't you tell me this, Kelsi?! I'm going to go pound his face in!"

"No, you idiot. Besides, guess you're not the only one who's keeping secrets."

Fry glared at Kelsi angrily, and grabbed her wrist, and began twisting it. "What else have you been hiding!"

"Equivalent exchange, Fry. Secrets for secrets." She smirked. She pulled her wrist away and began rubbing it. They've always had a violent siblinghood.

"What the hell is equivalent exchange?!"

"I don't know. It sounds cool, though."

But Robin had looked up. "Wait- stop!" she cried. She was new to this, and wasn't sure what to do. So she stood up and stumbled over, and pushed passed the other people. "He's fine, really! He wouldn't say a thing." She was avoiding his eyes, considering last time she saw him was when he had his face in her knees. Not the best relationship.

"You know him?" one of the people asked- looked like Seamus.

"Yes, I know him."

"Oh... sorry, mate." another guy said, and they cleared off, back to their areas, talking in low voices.

Clyde looked at Robin and Kelsi, eyes widening as he remembered them. "Er... thanks... and sorry for... tripping... on you guys... Is this like, a hideout?"

Robin blinked. She hesitated, then nodded. "Yeah. It is. Err- you're not really going to tell, are you? Because if you are, and we get caught- once I escape from that Hell again, I'm going to kill you."

"You honestly think they can we wield the ounce of fear I have of them to get me to say a word?"

Robin smiled, and looked a bit more relieved. "So... why are you here, exactly?"

"I asked one of the gargoyle like students who is a detention helper if he was doing it in fear of being the next one dead, and I was being chased. Needed a place to hide, and well, yeah."

Robin raised her eyebrows. "That's clever. You know, you're going to get in trouble for it once you go back out. Unless you can prove you didn't do it."

"Yeah. I know. I'm probably going to have a blanket party thrown in my honor instead of detention though. The gargoyles just to it for protection, no real loyalty." Clyde shrugged, rolling his eyes as if they were talking about something casual.

"Sounds... exciting. And, you're right." she shrugged, too, not really knowing what to do. She suddenly remembered how she had been wearing a skirt that one time, and grew red. She hid her face.

Clyde noticed she was blushing and immediately looked around. "Look, I'm sorry for being such a clutz and ending up in such an awkward position with you."

She looked up, and forced a smile. "It's okay! That was a while ago, right? Plus, you didn't mean it."

"Of course not!" Clyde started to look around the room for a new conversation. "Are you guys need any help? I'd be happy to smuggle anything you'd need."

"Well... food is necessary, but we've got that down- some people come around and bring food from the kitchens. The rest is pretty much here. You need it, and it appears."

"Ah, forgot about the whole room bending to needs..."

Robin nodded slowly. "Yeah. It's nice seeing somebody I know, other than those two idiots over there." She pointed to Fry, who had his arm locked around Kelsi's neck.

"I understand. Locked up with siblings equals, nightmare."

Devin the fifth year sat in a corner of the room, eyeing the newcomer suspiciously. Yes, our unmentioned friend was a muggle-born, and was along for the ride. She pushed a large clump of her brown hair out of her eyes, which had grown a lot since was last seen. She had tamed it to be straight, it was not at her elbows. Devin eyed Clyde up and down, taking him everything about him. He's bold, cocky, and loud... Hm.

Robin shrugged. "No, I'm just happy to see them again."

Kelsi sat up from the seat she was settled in. "Hey, Fry, I've never had this much fun with you since before you hit puberty and began growing stubble. Woooow, my little brother is growing stubble!!" It just hit her and she began wavering in her seat with her hands to her cheeks. She looked so amazed.

"Kelsi, you're such an idiot."

"Hey, you know that guy over there? Sleeping?" Kelsi pointed at Nicolas. "That's Katherine's older brother. You know, Andrea's friend?"

"Yeah, I know." He frowned. "What about him?"

"I read in this psychology book that if a person is sleeping, and you say stuff in their ears, they dream it. I want to see if it works."

"Well, go and try it, then." Fry said simply, and crossed his arms. His sister was so weird.

"Okay, but come with me. This is going to be funny." she began to laugh, and felt like her old self- despite all the trauma she's gone through in the year, she's feeling light-weighted. It was probably the potion Libby gave her- it did that to her. She walked over to his bed, and leaned in and whispered in his ear, trying to sound like his girlfriend.

"Hey, Nicky-boo. It's me, Rachel. And I'm here to make out with you- tons of tongue action, like we do in those dark hallways during breaks. Mmm, you like that, do you." Kelsi had to lean up to laugh a bit, She then began to whisper: "Rachel grabbed your face and began to kiss it. Suddenly the two of you fell down a staircase in the process of making out and she was on top of you." Kelsi frowned. "I don't know what else to say, Fry. I mean, I don't know what would happen if this happened."

"Oh move over." Fry snapped and pushed his sister away. "Here, I'll do this." he leaned down and whispered in Nicolas' ear. "Her body was pushed against you, and you could feel her heart beat against your chest. Or was it yours? You're not sure anymore. All you can look at are her deep eyes and suddenly you're falling into them and it's all you can see- HEY!"

"Don't say that, because it'll actually happen. Remember, he's dreaming? Besides, I think that'll do. We don't want him to have a wet dream, do we?"

"I feel so bad now..." Fry mumbled, as the two walked back and sat in these small chairs in the corner of the giant room.

[yes we do]
