Copernicus stepped through the door from the common room and held it for Liz. "So where are we headed, Miss Liz? Going to show me some of the other Hogwarts points of interest?"

Stepping through and thanking Copernicus "I know you had wanted to go to see the Room of Requirement a few days ago..." after a moment of thought. "We could start there...unless you already have been there by now."

So nervous, and unsure how to ask, Liz can't stop quivering slightly.

What am I doing, I'm going to act like a fool. she thinks sharply to herself. This isn't like you! Don't let Rian and Livvy get to you...

"Sure, whatever you think," he gave a little shrug and took a few steps the wrong direction down the hallway. "Er... which way is it?"

"Actually right over there," Liz says taking Copernicus's arm and gently turning him around. Pointing to the blank wall right across from the picture of Barnabas the Barmy who looks like he's trying to teach trolls to dance the ballet.

"That's an interesting picture," Copernicus got up close to it to look at the details, turning his back to the blank wall. He realized he was going the wrong way again and turned to look at the wall. "Erm... a wall?"

"First we need to decide what we want the room to be." Liz explains. "Like a place to practice spells, or a place to relax, or even a bathroom." she adds with a light laugh.

"Once we figure it out, we concentrate on that very hard, and walk back and forth 3 times, and a door will appear."

"And what do we want?" This sounded awfully abstract to him, especially since he didn't know exactly what the room could do. "Somewhere to do homework?"

"That sounds good to me." Liz says with a smile, "Let's try it."

She turns and starts walking past 3 times with Copernicus, thinking hard about needing a place to do homework.

"Although... we have the library and the common room for homework," Copernicus was pestering her while she worked, which was rude, but he was so CURIOUS about what was going to happen. "Nevermind, you're right. This is a perfect way to show me how it works. Sorry."

Livvy scratched her head, looking for Copernicus and Liz. It wasn't good of her to interrupt their romantic stroll, but it was necessary. She came upon the two standing in front of a wall. Livvy snuck up on then and stood next to Copernicus and Liz. "Um... what are you two doing?"

"We're opening up the Room of Requirement," Copernicus turned to Livvy with an eager look on his face. "What's the best thing you've ever seen this room do?"

Livvy grinned. "Ah... I see. Part of your exploration huh, Copernicus?" She remembered how he went off searching for lotion from Peeves. Good times... Livvy shrugged. "It just opens a room for what purpose you desire. I wanted to play the piano.. so it gave me this room with this ginormous piano!"

"You play the piano?" His eyes lit up in interest. "I took lessons for a few years, but I never could seem to get my left hand going at the same speed as my right," he chuckled at his musical ineptitude. "If we wanted to pull the greatest prank ever, would it give us the supplies?"

Livvy smiled and nodded her head. "Yep. You did? I've taken lessons for what? Ten years now? Wow.. that is so long," she said, thoughtfully. Yes.. quite some time. She couldn't believe it. Livvy laughed gently at this. "I see. The left hand can be quite troublesome sometimes," she agreed. She thought about what Copernicus asked. "Possibly. But you'd have to be more specific. Think about a room where the supplies are for pulling the greatest prank ever."

Suddenly a door appeared, in front of them.

"Hello, Livvy! Shall all three of us go in?"

"Well, maybe we can think of a pranking room next time, but for... homework central," Copernicus laughed.

Livvy smiled at Liz and nodded her head. "In we go then! Yep... Guess we'll have to save that room for later," she said, laughing and winked at Copernicus. Then Livvy marched into Homework Central.

Elizabeth had gotten a little startled when Ludo had grabbed her hand, but since he didn't seem to think anything of it, she managed to make herself relax, and keep moving. "I don't judge people by their house," she reminded him, "I've had quite a few friends who were from other houses. Especially Slytherin."

She wasn't entirely sure how to take his next comment, but grinned when he brought up a challenge. "Do you think it's a challenge?," she asked, teasingly, before they kept going, him strangely offering his arm as they went up the stairs to the next floor. Has the mirror made him weird too?, she wondered as they came out into the seventh floor corridor to head to the Astronomy tower. "You'll find it hilarious," she said in response to his asking her to tell him about the roster. "So, maybe you had had some sort of premonition or something that time in the courtyard. Cause I made the team, but I slightly changed position." She laughed as she finished speaking.

Umm.

Lost. Yep. Certainly lost. Which was still very worrying seeing as he'd been at Hogwarts from year one, it wasn't as if he was a silly Transfer on anything daft like that. Continuing on his little journey along the corridor, Sebastian poked his head out of one of the windows, just to have a wee look...

SHEEEEEESH!

He was high up. Veeeery high up actually, much too high up. But it did explain the whole reason that he'd gone up quite a few floors. At a guess he was on theee.... Sixth or seventh floor. Which was high up. Vurry high up. His head still poked out of the window, he sighed, and gave thanks to Merlin that he, Sebastian Milan, was also very high up.

I mean, six foot five for a fifteen year old.

Pfft.

Walking down the hall, Liz looks around. Thinking about going back into the secret room, she isn't sure...

Reese walked into the corridor and looked around.She wasn't quite sure what corridor she was in.It was either the fifth or sixth...or maybe even the seventh corridor.She lost track after she left the third corridor.Reese walked over to a near by window and looked outside at the lake.It was such a beautiful site from up here.Such a beautiful site indeed.

Cam was carrying a trunk in his hand, a big one but still reasonable that a lot of things could have fit in it. Where were the people that he needed to go get and everything? Did they know how hard it was to carry the trunk despite it's small size? It was snowing today and just in case, he was wearing the most outrageous outfits ever seen. For his gloves, well he lost one out of the pair so he had to borrow some kitchen mittens to use for one piece. And he had a red jacket on, decorated with a lot of pieces of junks.

Among the pieces of junk were fish hooks, some glued paper, and a few girly decorations too. It was perfect for the day. He was wearing a jacket and even some pink boots.

Indeedy he was an odd, odd person.

Oh, it was Reese. Well he was scared, but... oh well! "Yooooo wassuup Reese?" Friendly, formal greeting. That was the way he goes.

Lima was walking through the corridor wondering where Whit was. She had bought her something special for Christmas and wanted to give it to her. She was the first on her list.

Then she saw that Cam was walking ahead of her carrying a trunk. Hmm. She wondered what he could have possibly been needing it for. But it was no matter, she was happy to have found him anyway.

Ignoring his rather odd outfit, she walked up to him and realized that he had found Reese. Another person that she was happy to see. "Hey, guys," she chirped when she reached them.

Reese heard someone call her name and she quickly turned around to face Cam.She noticed the outfit he was wearing and she grinned.It was quite funny,to be honest.Who put...junk on a jacket?Unbelievable.

"Hey Cam!"she said. "Oh,nothing much.What have you been up to?"

She still felt very bad about what happened between Cam and her a few days ago.She knew she overreacted about the spider.There was no doubt about that.

"Cam...I'm sorry about getting angry with you a few days ago,"she told him. "I just overreacted."She smiled. She wanted to be friends with Cam,even though he was a little strange.

Then,Reese heard another voice come up. "Hey Limaaaaaaa,"she said with a smile. "What's happening?"

Almost hopping along the corridor,Whit carried a bag full of presents objects. She had just been planning to roam around the school till she found everyone she'd been looking for. That was if she'd remembered everything.

Once she heard voices she looked up to see..."Lima! Cam! Reeeeeese!" Setting down her bag she ran over to them and hugged them. Okay,perhaps she was over exaggerating a tad,but she'd missed them. Even if it had only been days. "Hey guys!" she said and walked back to pick up her stuff.

Now this was very coincidental. They had been the first few people whom she really wanted to give their gifts to. Now that she had the chance,she was a bit anxious. 'What if they don't like it?' Pushing that aside she said, "So what're you all doing here?"
