Finding the room again [Chelsea]

[Tim O'Maley]

Tim lead Chelsea to the top of the castle, the 7th floor. It had been a long walk from the lake but Tim knew that in moments time she would see why he dragged her all the way up here. Tim was a far bit in front of Chelsea so he stopped before the tapestry and waited fro her to catch up.

[Chelsea Rimmel]

As Chelsea was walking up the Grand Staircase to the seventh floor, she stopped to talk to her favourite portrait. She always had a conversation with him every time she walked passed (or rushed pass if she was late to class). She never really knew his name but Chelsea never asked, because this portrait respected himself and he didn't have time for "stupid" questions like that. He wore very fine, expensive looking Dress Robes and had a silver moustache and silver hair. He had chicken feet wrinkles on both sides of his eyes, that really stuck out when he smiled. He was a beefy man and very short by the looks of things. He had bright pink rosey cheeks that always made Chelsea feel warm inside. When he was at Hogwarts he was in the house of Gryffindor. "Wonderful House Gryffindor. I loved it there. I'm not bragging or anything dear." He would go on about it just like that.
Chelsea didn't ask much questions but she did answer all of his. Most of the time the portrait would go on about his life being a knight and how he died and got put up on the walls of the Grand Staircase.
Chelsea loved hearing his storys and on the weekends she would spend hours listening to his interesting story's about his life. She really like the one where he fought the French and won purely because he used a few hexes.

"How are you Miss Rimmel? Enjoying your day?" He asked cheerfully. Chelsea thought he must of been in a good mood.


"Oh yes I am Sir. But- I don't really have time to talk. You see I'm meeting somebody up on the Seventh floor."

"Right well off you go then you don't want to keep them waiting."

Chelsea smiled at him and started to hurry up the stairs to meet Tim, as she was a fair way behind him.

"Bye bye." He said just as cheerily

When she got to the top of the Staircase she saw Tim waiting there for her infront of a tapestry. A beautiful one it was too. It had quite a beautiful woman on the front cleaning her clothes in a wash bucket. She looked like she was flicking her wand at the brush and the brush was cleaning the clothes for her.

"Sorry I got caught up. A portrait you see." She panted heavily.

[Tim O'Maley]

"Right then, this way." Tim made his way a bit further up the corridor coming to a tapestry of a man trying to teach troll to do ballet. Tim began to look at the tapestry and wonder why on earth a man would want to teach a troll to do ballet. He was assuming it would be very difficult to teach a troll anything because they are exeptionally stupid. Tim shook his head at it and turned to a blank wall. "This is the exciting part." Tim walked back and fourth in front of the blank wall thinking very hard of what he wanted it to turn into. He opened his eyes after he walked past it the third time. A door had appeared. Tim tunred the nob slowly and pushed open the door.

The blank wall and changed into a glorious room, just like it had when Tim had found it before. Cosy couches and quidditch players lining the walls. Books were on the shelves above the door. A large maroon rug was laid out on the floor.

"Come on." He ushered Chelsea to join him.

[Chelsea Rimmel]

Looking across Chelsea also saw the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach the troll to do ballet. She always admired this one
Chelsea smiled at Tim's eagerness. He really did want to show Chelsea this room. She knew exactly what this so called secret room was. This was, of course, The Room of Requirement. It can only be used by someone in need. Chelsea wondered what on earth Tim had needed with this room. She wasn't quite sure weather or not Tim knew that this was the Room of Requirement.

Chelsea walked into the room excitedly and closed the door behind her. It was spectacular!, if your were a Quidditch fan and luckily Chelsea was. On to the maroon rug she steped, it was quite soft. She turned around and saw all the wonderful books all lined up neatly. Most of them were books about Quidditch but some of them were about schoolwork. This would come quite handy for Tim if he couldn't be bothered to go to the library. She walked over to one of the couches and sat herself down.

"Do you know what room this is?" She asked curiously.

[Tim O'Maley]

"Um a secret room?" He said. He went over to the book shelf and got out a book. It was titled 'Quidditch through the ages'. He sat on the couch at the opposite end to Chelsea and began to flick threw the book, just looking at the pictures. Some of the best quidditch plays in the world where in this book.

[Chelsea Rimmel]

Chelsea wasn't suprised that Tim didn't know what this room was. Hardly anybody did because of it's secrecy.
She looked up at Tim and laughed a little.

"This isn't any old secret room, silly. This - this is the Room of Requirement." She said coolly.

She looked around the room again and started to admire it even more. It was a remarkable place after all.

[Tim O'Maley]

Tim was puzzled, The Room of Requirement?? What the hell is that??

"The Room of what??" Tim asked Chelsea, "What is that?" Tim had thought this was just a room that happened to change from a wall into what they were in now.

[Chelsea Rimmel]

Chelsea laughed yet again.

"The Room of Requirement is a room that only can be discovered if someone is in need. To open it you need to walk past it three time concentrating really hard on what you want. So now you know. If your in trouble or need something really bad, you just come here. I wouldn't mind using it one day. But - what on earth did you need this room for?" She asked curiously.

[Tim O'Maley]

Tim tryed to remember the first time he found this room. he was running away from Volgun becasue Tim had forgotton to hand in his homework that potions class. Volgun had asked if Tim would stay back but when the bell went he slipped out with all the other students. He had run up to the to floor hoping Volgun wouldn't follow.

"Ummm, I was kinda trying to get away from a professor."

[Chelsea Rimmel]

Chelsea nodded her head. She didn't agree with running away from teachers but she knew that Tim was a Gryffindor. They did things like that all the time.

"Oh - Er- Really? From who, may I ask?" She asked curiously.

[Tim O'Maley]

"Erm - Professor Austin..." Tim replied. "We don't exactly - get along." Tim stood up and put his book away. he mad ehis way over to a Quiddicth poster on the wall. It was one of the Chudley Cannons, the entire team.

[Chelsea Rimmel]

"Oh - right. Well then." She said, also getting up and looking at the poster.

"Nice poster. Chudley Cannons I suppose." She said kindly.

Chelsea then walked over to the book shelves and started going throught he books. It was Quidditch galore.

[Tim O'Maley]

"Yep" Tim said noticing that she was looking at the same poster he was. "They are my favourite team. But I don;t want to talk about Quidditch. It is all everyone in this place seems to talk about. It can get Kinda boring." Tim smiled.

[Chelsea Rimmel]

Chelsea smiled back.

"I'm not too interested in talking about Quidditch either. It just happens to be my least favourite subject, but that's not to say I don't like it. So - Do you have a favourite subject?" She said, taking a book off the shelves and flicking through it.

[Tim O'Maley]

Tim thought for a moment. "Not really, I just take school as it comes, I don't really like any subject. But if I had to choose it would be ... lunch break." He said smiling. "Do you have one??"
