room of requirements

Lumos burned brightly in my wand tip as I moved through the empty corridors of the Hogwarts castle. The creepy paintings were following me with their eyes, but I paid them no heed as I stayed true to my destination.

The dungeon cleaning had taken me hours to finish. Snape was a filthy man. And I wasn't even talking about his personality. So I had only come out of the potions class way after class hours. But this was also a good thing as it gave me an alibi for showing up late to ravenclaw common room.

Finally I was at my intended destination.

My footsteps echoed through the hallways of the seventh floor. A thousand paintings stared down at me but my eyes were focused on one. The portrait of barnabas the barmy, trying to teach the trolls ballet. I felt a rush in my heart from excitement.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

'I need a room... To read books'

'I need a room to read books'

'I need a room to read books'

A door morphed to form in the wall. That's right, it was the room of requirements. One of the greatest magical marvels of Hogwarts. I forced down my excitement and slowly opened the door. Inside the door greeted me a gigantic, beautiful,... empty room. A frown fell upon my face. I looked around the room extending as big as the great Hall. There were torches placed in the room at proper intervals to make the room well lit. But there wasn't a single book anywhere in my view.

Doubts filled my mind. Was the request too confusing for the room? Or maybe it was too broad!

But I knew, that the room would not leave me hanging. There has to be something in here of value. So I slowly turned around trying to understand what the room was trying convey. I looked from pillar to pillar trying, slowly turning, when my eyes, suddenly, locked on two others.

"GAH! " I fell on my arse from the sudden jump scare, crawling backwards. I took deep breaths as sat on the floor. I calmed my beating heart forcefully and finally looked at the the new addition the room. It was a silvery raven patronus floating in the sky at my eye level looking at me curiously. It slowly floated down and sat in front of me, tilting it's head at me.

I had no idea what was going on. What is this place? Maybe it's another room, in the room of requirements? Like the room of hidden things! Maybe a room of... Reading? I don't know. It's all just me speculating.

"hi, um... raven! what place is this?"

The raven simply stared back at me with the exact same curious expression colouring it's face.

OK maybe I should try going simpler:"are you... here to help me? "

The raven continued to stay unhelpful by staying immobile, occasionally tilting it's head.

What is going on? What am I supposed to-..... Ohhhh!!! I mentally facepalmed. How could I possibly have forgotten this. Patronuses don't have a will of their own. They can only do what their creator has programmed them to do. And as the room created it....

"can I have book... Preferably advanced one, on various types of possessions?"

The raven still not replying, lowered it's head. Suddenly it disappeared into a swirl of silvery threads, like an apparition, leaving me completely dumbfounded.

Not even a second later, it was back in the exact same spot in the exact same way, and along with it ancient tome. The book was placed near it's claws as it went back to its usual immobile state.

I warily extended my hands at the book and quickly snatched it away from near the raven's claws. I took a cautious look around and slowly walked out of the room.... Of reading!

Soon I was out of the room and I closed its doors which melted back into the darkness without leaving a trace. I let a huge breath which I had been holding till then. A grin spread across my face. I then put the book back into my satchel and walked into my dorm.

Soon I reached the eagle-head and knocked.:"I am tall when I am young, and I am short when I am old. What am I."

I took a deep breath. Now the hard part of my plan has been completed. But I'm still not out of the woods yet. The book I hold within my hands, If seen by the wrong eyes can cause huge issues for me. So I needed get inside the dorm and back in my room without catching any attention. I needed to keep a low profile.

I breathed out:"a candle."

The door opened slowly to reveal the ravenclaw common room. Some of them turned to look who was at the door. Suddenly their eyes widened: "HE'S HERE! HARRY POTTER, IS, HEREEEEE!!! "

*sigh* Well, there goes low profile.

All of my housemates who were doing various activities by the fireplace rushed at me. Shit! It was only forty points! They are not gonna kill me over that are they.

While they were a meter a away from me someone shouted from the behind:"ENOUGH!! "

The crowd parted to reveal, A tall, blonde seventh year, with perfect badge shining on his chest. This wasn't a fifth year lazy-bum like the one that gave us our tour. THIS was the real deal. He came with slow menacing steps and stood in front of me.

He knelt down and stood face to face with me. On his face decorated an unreadable expression. I took a deep breath. I did what I did. No matter what anyone said I didn't regret a thing. I looked him in dead in the eye in a stare-off. We both stared at each other with enough power to start a conqueror's haki showoff.

The air was heavy. The tension rang through out the room. Suddenly,... He smirked. His hands flew to my wrist and and held it up high. He shouted out with enthusiasm:"BEHOLD,... THE MAN WHO BOUGHT DOWN THE BAT! RAVENCLAWS OWN, BOY-WHO-LIVED! HARRY POTTEEEEEERRRRRRR!"

The entire dorm burst into cheers leaving me completely bewildered. What the FUCK??!

I could see Terry in the crowd screaming louder than anyone. Padma looked at all of this bewilderment and from her lips saying something that vaguely sounds like 'Brits are nuts' while Michael was barely holding back tears from laughing his ass off.

the perfect suddenly tossed me onto his shoulders causing the cheers to get even louder. I stared at all of this with wide eyes. I suddenly blinked and kneeled down to the perfect's ears:"you do realize that I just cost our house 40 whole points don't you."

The perfect jumped up and down with madness in his eyes while shouting a reply:" IF 40 POINTS IS ALL IT TOOK TO CALL SNAPE A HALF BREED TO HIS FACE, THEN TO HELL WITH THE HOUSE CUP. I WANT THAT."

I stared at the houses oldest perfect with wide eyes. Oh my God. These people are NUTS.

"LET'SSSS PAAARTTYYYYYYYYYYY."
