Freya walked up to the Room of Requirement, the large doors were once again waiting for her to enter. 'I'm so lucky with this thing, I swear it knows me better than I know myself...'

She pushed open the doors and was somewhat surprised to see a few others inside already; but they had odd looking, um, tools in their hands. Freya watched them eerily as she made her way across the floor, which took on it's comfortable metal appearance as her feet hit the tiles. 'I need a place to work alone.' She thought to herself as hard as she could, 'Just a place to be alone and practice for a while.'
Freya got her wish; as she looked up from the metalic floor her pale eyes spotted another oak doorway in the middle of a stone wall that hadn't been in the room previously. She grabbed the elegant handle and pushed the door open. Inside the new room were solid teak and oak trimmed walls, a large stone fireplace was held within the far wall, and stacks of books were along the same wall the contained the door.
Freya's eyes caught something else thought after her immediate delight had faded slightly. There it was, her practice partner...the same one that had knocked her flat last term, but that wasn't going to happen again...no on her watch. 'How do I even dare look at myself in the mirror, knowing that I was hit by you?' She walked up the couple of stairs to stand atop a dueling platform, the practice dummy was at the far end, and it's false wand was still at it's side.

'There won't be a shred of this thing left once I've had my fun with it...' Freya told herself as she hopped off of the platform, and with her long stride made her way over to a couple of leather chairs near the books. She removed her heavy cloak and tied her hair back in a high-set ponytail, glaring at the dummy the entire time. 'A hunk of metal beat me...PAH!'
Freya took her wand out of her pocket and stepped up onto the platform again, taking her preferred stance.
Like a charm, the dummy also raised it's wand and prepared itself to 'duel', only it would be the one attacking the student for now. "Ready." Freya said outloud, giving the dummy it's command. And as it had last year, it cast a red stream of light toward the seventh year, this time the girl was better focused. 'Protego!' She thought strongly and gave her wand the proper movements, and an added whiplike snap to her wrist. Freya watched with delight as the beam of light soared upwards and smashed into the ceiling.

'We'll try this a couple more times.' "Ready." And again the red light flashed towards the student, and once more Freya successfully shielded herself. 'Not so hard now is it? Why did I fail last time?' She scolded herself more than was necessary. 'I think I'm done with you. Reducto!' Another beam of amber colored light erupted from the girl's wandtip and smashed into the torso of the dummy, taking out most of the top half, and leaving the concrete and metal legs connected to the stand.
Freya laughed to herself slightly and watched as the remnants retreated into the wall behind it. 'Probably replacing itself...too bad.' She jumped off of the platform again and walked over to her cloak before looking over towards the fireplace and bookshelves. 'I have time...' Freya went over to another set of chairs in front of the fire and searched through a few shelves before selecting a thick book and taking a seat. Why not spend a few hours reading?
