Fee giggled as Scar hugged her. This felt good. She really had missed her so much.
"i've been fine", she smiled,"what about you honey?"
Fee wonderd why then two hadnt seen eachother in so long.
Last time Scar was around had been in the train.
Woah.
Fee let herself fall in the pillows and happy sighed.

"I've been good,i've been spending alot of time at the owlrey..." she sighed. "I feel as if I haven't seen all m friends in so long!" she laughed a little.Scarlett smooted out her skirt.
"so have you made more friends?" she cocked her head to her best friend.
"any boyfriendssss." she winked and laughed.she missed Fee.

"Oh why ?"
Fee was a little worried.
"First i felt so, too. But its a lot better now",she smiled at Scar,"after exploring the castle i met a lot of my friends around. Even when i sometimes feel lonely."
She sighed. That was true. If Adam hadnt come around yesterday she would have died cause of loneliness.
"Oh yees, i made a few new friends, thats soo cool", she smiled widely,"what about you hun?"
Boyfriends?!
*Laugh*
"No boyfriends", she laughed, "flirted a little thats all."
"What about you?"

"I...uhm" she looked away thinking of an answer."I just felt really unsettled and stuff.nothing wrong really." she smiled back at Fee satisfied with her answer.
"yeh,here and there.I still haven't been around the whole grounds!" she said shaking her head."it's MASSIVE!"
Scarlett winked."noo,boys suck!" she pouted.
Scarlett thought of more music and put it on and started humming.

"Hun dont lie to me",Fee said looking at Scar.
Something was wrong with her. But what?!
She sighed.
"Ohhh i spent all my time exploring", she laughed,"we should go to the lake or tree house together sometime."
Boys suck?!
"Did something happen?"
Fee listend to Scar jamming and was amazed.

Adam saw Kurumi and walnut- her cat, walk into this big double doors with engravings and twisting vines. He quickly slipped in and searched around for that long black hair she had.As he looked all over he couldn't help it but gasp from amazement. It was tall with glass like mirrors on the wall, cushions and chairs and books were set off to the side...Futher in he ventured and finally came to what he saw..."Ku-k-Kurumi."He spoke into the air.

Kurumi, still frozen in her final movement, thought she heard a voice echo in the kendo room she was in. Walnut, looking pleased with herself, trotting over to an area near the doorway and began rubbing against...the air? Slowly, a shadowy figure began to appear. "A-Adam? Is that you?" Kurumi asked still staying motionless.

"Yeah-"He spoke into the air. Not really knowing who he really was talking to. He moved out of the shadow and went into the brighter light, putting his hand up to protect his eyes."Is that you Kurumi? What are you doing, swiping the air?"He half laughed."If you want- if that is you, I can go- if you want to BE ALONE."He stammered. He did spend a lot of his time with her, maybe she just wanted Kurumi and kittie Walnut time.

Kurumi released her stance and laughed with him. She could see him now and Walnut was looking doubly please with herself as she pranced back to where Kurumi was standing. "I...was practicing some keno," she said shyly. Her mother would be disappointed that she was doing kendo and not something more ladylike like traditional fan dancing. "This room...it looks just like home!"

"Kendo?What's that?"Adam said taking a cushion and taking a seat near her..."Well, it doesn't look like my room....It's actually clean in here, compared to my pigsty."He chuckled...She seemed to be concentrating hard on something, all her focus on that...Kendo- whatever it was, sounded Japanese to him...Maybe it was a fighting form of some sort.

Kurumi was a little confused. Could Adam not see the wooden pillars and tatami floors? Was she not holding anything in her hands?"It's a type of Japanese sword fighting," she explained making sure that she was still seeing what she was seeing. Yep, still had her kendo sword in her hand. "My family owns a dojo...err...school."

"Oh nice...Can you show me some...Or are you embaressed?"He asked intrigued, looking up to her. "Did you work there, or did you just learn all the movements at the school?"This really was different, but a good interesting different.Adam had never seen anything like this maybe that's why he wanted to know more."Is it a really big part of Japanese Culture or Tradition?"He honestly didn't know.

Kurumi was happy that Adam was taking an interest. Kendo had been and still was a big part of her life. Whenever she got bullied at school, she would come home and find at least one of her brothers in the dojo practicing - it was usually Ryunosuke, her oldest brother. The two of them would spar for hours until Kurumi had gotten all her anger and stress out. "Sure," she smiled. She was already starting to feel more like herself. "Can...can you see something in my hand?" She still wasn't sure how this room worked. She could see Adam sitting down in a chair that certainly wasn't there before. It was like two people's dream worlds were colliding.

"Yeah- A sword right? So what do you do, strike the sword in a certain way and it means something like Earth and Fire fight for the power? Something like that, does it have meaning with each attack move?"He wondered. This really was interesting, connecting mind and soul to a weapon and making it become a part of who you are...

"Not exactly," she laughed starting her dance again. With a swift and strong strike to the right, "One who practices kendo seeks to discipline the human character through the application of the principles of the sword." She made a strong movement to the left and stomped her foot. She then began striking left and right in quick succession, her long black hair swaying back and forth. She pivoted quickly on her right foot, raised her weapon high above her head and brought it crashing down on an invisible opponent with a loud "Kiai!" She looked over at Adam with a big smile on her face and beads of sweat running down her brow.

Adam watched with unblinking eyes. Then when Kurumi turned to her side and slammed the ground, he scooted up , afraid she might hit him by accident."Whoa-that was AWESOME!"He said punching the air..."I feel like I just saw some show during my schools assembly...That was amazing...You look really good doing that...In fact, you look like you are back in YOUR ELEMENT."He said shyly, looking at his feet as he began to shuffle side to side..He taught himself to stop swaying when he was shy or nervous.

Stepping in the Room of Requirement, thanks to Evelyn's lecturing now it was easier for him to make the room appear, Josh closed his eyes for a moment or so just to imagine and guess what kind of a place he had stepped into. He hoped it was not too embarrassing since he was going to meet the Slytherin girl in here. The room was going to be a reflection of his subconsciousness after all or was it just wishes or needs? But all he needed now was a peaceful place to talk to Evelyn...

And...

He opened his eyes and had a look around taking a few or more steps towards the center. There was a center because the room was round and quite much looked like the Gryffindor Common Room with a huge fireplace and comfortable armchairs with dark red decoration. There were also a few wooden boxes somewhere near the fireplace but the boy did not pay any attention to them. They were there when he had met this place for the first time and yes he was ignoring them again.

She really did feel great and the smile on her face was probably proof of that. Using the sleeve or her robes, she wiped some of the sweat from her brow. "Do you want to try?" she asked picking up another sword and tossing it to Adam. "I help teach the younger kids, around 6 and 7 year olds." She said with a giggle. Adam, who she assumed had never done it before, was probably along the same level.

"Could I?"He asked like a little kid, jumping up and down. he took the sword and kept the tip down, making sure not to hurt Kurumi with this weapon.He gazed at it with sparkling eyes, then ran his fingers gently on the sharp blade. If his parents knew he was trying this at the moment..."SO what do I do then? Teach me something Miss Hollingberry."Adam told her as if she was his teacher.

Gah. She sometimes really hated this castle. Why did it have to be so big?!

Finally making it up to the seventh floor, Evelyn paused for a moment and leaned against a wall to catch her breath. Now, she was a rather fit girl, it was just her body was not used to these stairs! Running on flat ground was one thing, but this? This was torture. One of the main reasons she hated Divination class too.

After a few moments though, the Slytherin made her way down the corridors and such, turning here and walking there. Finally at her destination, and just in time to see a door open with a familiar dark haired boy walking into there, Evelyn sprinted and held it open before it could disappear. Taking a step inside, she let the door shut as she stared around. The room was so warm. Not just in the actual feel of it, but, the colors were far different then what she was used to. It was pretty.

…except those boxes. "What is up with those boxes?" What was in them!?

Why were there no windows? Josh liked windows and was not that room supposed to be like how he liked it? Apparently it did not work that way since there were no windows and those boxes were there *ignore*. Well... once Evelyn was there he was going to ask more about how this room worked.

Walking past the boxes *still ignores* he was about sat in one of the armchairs when he heard the girl's voice echo in the room. And the moment he heard that voice he got excited for some reason. A mixture of excitement and happiness. He was not sure how he felt exactly but it definitely made him feel good...great actually.

''I...'' he started looking at her sheepishly as if he was caught on some action ''I don't know. Who cares the boxes?'' Yeah forget them! ''It's good to see you again...'' ...in here. And he said that because he really felt like that. ''Would you like to sit?''

Hmm, he was right. Who cares about some silly boxes?

….

She did! And she wanted to know what was in them!

But, shrugging anyways, Evelyn nodded and made her way over to one of the armchairs and sat down, curling her feet up underneath herself and taking one more glance around. This was a nice change from the Slytherin common room, but she knew she’d get bored of it if she stayed in it for too long. Now that she looked down at the chair she was sitting in, and her arm resting on the arm rest, a small smirk appeared on her lips. Hehe, she looked good in red.

Anyways. "So, how’ve you been?" Been talking to anymore French girls lately? HMMM!?

Fighting the urge to kick the boxes, Joah took a deep breath and have a general look of the room one more time. It was...nice. Okay.

Then he looked at Evelyn as she was stting in one of the armchairs. Ah! She looked beautiful there sitting like that. Actually she always looked beautiful yet for some reason she looked a little bit different to him this time. Maybe it was because of the colours. It was like having her in the Gryffindor Common Room.

Choosing the arcmhair opposite to the Slytherin girl's, Josh sat down as well and, smiling a little, he pretended to think hard over the question she asked. ''I have been all right. Except a few problems'' and those problems included that Durmstrang boy and his family. ''And you? You look...'' *pause* good, great, beautiful, all right, nice...which one? ''...beautiful'' *ehem* ''...i mean good''

A few problems? She had a few problems too. Like those darn French girls. Think they can waltz in here and take her Gryffindors away? Well, they could take Carter and Rex away, but not the others. "Oh, are you alright?"

Hmm. Leaning back in the seat, she stared at him for a moment, about to answer his question but, it seemed he was not done speaking. She looked…what? She didn’t quite catch what he sai- Oh. Good. She looked…good. That was it? "Umm, thank you. You look good too." It was every girl’s dream to look…good. She probably looked only good compared to those French girls in his mind. Pffft! "I’ve been alright too I suppose. Doing stuff here and there, staying out of trouble, the usual."

Also planning a few things too concerning a few Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors, as well as professors. What? She needed to find a way to amuse herself somehow during those boring days where there was nothing to do. Not to mention sleep somewhere in between those evil plotting plans. "Anyways, what have you been up to lately?"

Kurumi laughed and realized her mistake of handing him a real sword. "Hold on a second ther tiger," she laughed taking it back. "Use this one first," she smiled handing him one from bamboo. "I don't know what I would do if you ended up in the hospital wing because of me - or any reason for that matter," she added with a wink. Miss Hollingberry, hmmm, she kind of liked the sound of that. Maybe teaching really was what she wanted to do. She still had time to figure that all out of course. "First, we need to find your fighting spirit," she said in a very teacher-ish voice. "Try doing this," she explained as she raised her weapon above her head and, at the same time, stomped her right foot while bringing the blade down and stopping at waist height. As she did so, she let out a very loud, "Kiai!" She then looked over at Adam to do the same.
