Alfie gave an honest shrug as Emma wondered aloud about how the two boys could've heard about their conversation. "Well, who knows?" she said with an amused smile, "Either way, you're right, we were only teasing." But of course the two girls had only been teasing the two boys, both of them found the bromance to be completely amusing. Or at least, Alfie did and most likely Emma felt the same. As Emma suggested they prank the bromance in a friendly way, possibly using food, Alfie's smile widened just slightly. "That sounds like an interesting idea," she agreed softly, blue eyes falling to the table thoughtfully as she considered it. "Like...a food fight of some kind?" the blonde suggested, flashing the girl across from her a grin.

A food fight could definitely be fun. And it would allow the two girls to prank them in a more playful manner. The last thing they wanted to do was jump on top of the bromance and potentially injure them, like some members of the bromance in question...

Eris grinned at her friend's bravery, adventurers like them didn't have room for fea-

O_______e

"Uh....erm....uh... SARAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Eris stammered before pointing her shaking hand down one of the caves tunnel, the gem tucked under her other arm with a look of horror engraved on her young face.

Boulder!!!!!!

"Quick...we gotta get out of here!" Eris glanced towards Sarah, refusing to leave the spot till her friend got safely down from the alter, though the boulder was crashing through the cave and was sure to meet them quickly.

"Jump!" Eris told her, quite confident that even though she was small, she was strong enough to catch her companion safely.

Not that she tried it before, but hey, you need a first for everything.

Emma smiled as Alfie confirmed that they were only teasing about the whole bromance. Good, so Alfie hadn't thought that they were being a bit too rough on them. Hmm.. Who could have told the guys? This still bugged Emma. Was it Jay? Or was Bree secretly spying on them, sent by Theo!?

And before she was about to talk, Alfie suggested that they pull a prank that would be like a food fight. Emma's eyes widened and an evil smirk appeared on her face. "Now that is a wonderful idea. I like that idea. We could bake them a cake and decorate it all nicely. And then we can invite them downstairs, apologize for making fun of the bromance, and then throw the cake at them..." began Emma, as her smirk turned into a wide smile.

Emma chuckled and beamed a smile of pure amusement as she watched the scene play out in her head. "We could do something like that... I do really like the food fight idea, though we'd have to make sure that Theo doesn't bring another cake canon or a food launcher," explained Emma, as she began chuckling. Merlin, she'd never ever ever ever let poor Mr. Dumble live another day without being reminded of the Cake Canon. Oh Merlin. She would totally bring it up at his and Alfie's wedding during a speech or something. 'My second fond memory of Theodore Dumble was in the Giant Treehouse during my fourth year of Hogwarts. We were celebrating Brae's birthday and it kind of turned into a food fight. Girls versus boys. You see, the girls were doing well. We were winning, until, Theo whipped out his secret weapon. The cake canon. Then he won,'. The Malfoy smirked.

Ooohhh... that was what the rumbling noise was...



Wait... OMGOMGOMG

JUMP?!?! She couldn't jump she was like, a hundred feet up! ... Jump, or boulder? Yeah, yeah. She was coming.

Geronimo! She jumped off, arcing through the air and desperately wishing that she wouldn't die from the jump... and that if she did, poor Eris didn't get killed waiting for her.

Eyes glancing at the boulder and then back at Sarah, Eris suppressed the urge to yell 'hurry' with great difficulty, knowing rushing her would make it harder. Luckily though, Eris didn't have to wait long as Sarah flung herself off the shrine.

Tough cookie, that one

Like a football player running back a few steps to be perfectly positioned for the catch, the small witch splashed backwards quickly causing the water to get more territory covered on her pants.

"Gotcha!" Eris exclaimed with a beam, as her strangely strong little arms caught the witch and helped her down to the ground, which, considering Eris' size, was not very far down at all.

Though she let herself from a moment of pride, the boy-girl of a witch realized the boulder was closer than in was a few seconds ago, of course.

"RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!" Eris let out before grabbing her friend hand a hurdling herself out of the cave like a speeding spell.

True, of course, to any adventure book or movie, the cave began to collapse around them, but the boulder crushed any debris ahead of it like they were made of sand.

Eris closed her eyes hard trying to think of a way to not die from the falling cave or boulder when all of a sudden a grand door, not even two feet away from them, opened outwards and the eleven yearold tumbled out onto the hallway of the school.

Still wet and raggedy looking from their adventure, Eris turned behind to see that there was no longer a door, but a wall.

They were back in the school, almost like they had dreamed if their clothes were not evidence.

"That.....was wicked" Eris grinned lowly with satisfaction.

Sarah blinked. Then burst out laughing.

"I... can't.... believe that.... that just happened!" she gasped between fits of laughter. "Oh, Merlin, that was totally wicked!"

Sarah tried to calm her breathing a beamed at Eris, "That was a spectacular catch, by the way."

She looked down to see the golden snake resting loosely in her hands, and the giant gem in Eris'. Merlin, what an adventure. If anything bonded two first-year girls' it was running for your life and gaining immense wealth in ancient treasure.

Eris held out her hand for a high five, " And you had an impressive jump." the small witch beamed at how quickly and without much hesitation the latter had flung her eleven year old body off a giant clay shrine.

Looking down at the gem, Eris gave a thoughtful frown, "I can't believe I would be thinking this....but I have enough wealth...and this is probably the schools....think we should take it to the headmaster?"

Merlin, Eris wanted to keep it, and she was a Slytherin, her house choice practically screamed for her to keep it. If they got caught stealing Hogwarts property, even if they really hand't, the young witch didn't want anymore house points lost.

Sarah smacked her hand against her friends, and laughed, "Why thank you, but it would have been pretty useless if you hadn't caught me." Seriously, she had a life debt.

She sighed, looking back down at their prizes, "Yeah, we probably should... well, on the bright side," her mischievous grin was back, "we get an excuse to see the headmaster!"

Ooh, she bet there was all sorts of interesting stuff in there. Myriads of magical items that had only existed until then, in her dreams.

Sarah stood up and dusted herself off, then held out a hand to help Eris up, "Come on," she grinned.

It was too bad they had to give up their hard won treasure, but it was the right thing to do.

Orchid looked around her making sure she was alone, then walked by the wall on the seventh floor corridor and thought of an open field with Quidditch posts, as hard as she could. When the door appeared she smiled and walked in with her Firebolt 600 in her left hand and her beater's bat in the other, not realizing the door wasn't closed all the way.

Lauren had been more than a bit surprised when she saw Orchid making her way down the Seventh floor corridor, broom in hand. Amused and confused, she chased after her friend, crying "I think the Quidditch pitch is in the other direction!"

Awwww, how much Nessie loved this place. She had been to the room of requirement plenty of times last year and she wasn't going to stop coming here. It was her place to get away and just be.

Today she had her guitar with her, she had tranformed the room into a music room. The room was now full with all different sorts of instruments. There was even a stage which a piano in the right corner, then about six different guitars leaning against the back wall, a drum kit in the middle of the room and many more other instruments all around. She didn't really need to use any of the instruments because she had brought her own guitar but she thought of usuing the Piano later. She loved music it was her life, she didn't know what she would have done without it. She noticed there were even michrophones in the room. This would be the perfect room for a band to use.

She walked up on the stage by one of the microphones and started playing her guitar. As she did so the other instruments started to follow her lead. OMG! This is so AWSOME! She thought. She turned and started the song again. She smiled this was so much fun.

Orchid peaked her head out the door when she heard a familiar voice yelling something about Quidditch. "Lauren! Hi! I haven't seen you since the train, I see you got into Gryffindor though! Congrats! I'm a Slytherin now, so I guess we're supposed to be enemies and all that." She said as she rolled her eyes and went to go hug her friend, broom and bat still in hand. "So how have you been?"

Alfie's blue eyes lit up with amusement as Emma started to build upon their plans rapidly, suggesting that they invite the boys downstairs, offer an apology, and then throw the cake at them. Letting out a chiming soft chuckle, the blonde Ravenclaw across from her couldn't help but be completely amused with the idea of possibly throwing cake into the bromance's faces. "I love it!" she admitted with a grin, listening as Emma mentioned that they would have to make sure that Theo didn't bring along his trusty cake cannon.

"I don't think he'd bring that along if it's just an innocent invitation to the Kitchens," Alfie assured her with an amused smile. "We're doing this in the Kitchens right?" She couldn't help but be a bit excited for this; what would be more fun than starting a food fight? It was a perfect way to both apologize, and get their playful revenge.

Jezabel marched up to the tapestry of that stupid wizard trying to teach idiotic trolls to dance. Her older brother Keegan had explicitly said the mysterious Room of Requirement was around here somewhere. She closed her eyes to remember his words better.
Okay, so, when I got to the tapestry, there was nothing there. No door, nothing. But that's the trick of the Room, you see. It doesn't want to be found, unless you either really need it or know what to do.
Helpful, not.
I was just pacing - you know, the way I do when I'm thinking - when suddenly a door appeared in the wall opposite the tapestry! I opened the door ... and I won't tell you what was there. Best to leave some secrets secret, Jez.
Jez started pacing, up and down the corridor. As she passed the tapestry a third time, a door appeared in the wall opposite, just like Keegan had described!
Jez twisted the handle, and slowly opened the door ...

Lauren grinned broadly at the sight of Orchid's face, returning her hug eagerly. "I know! It feels like ages! And yup, I'm a proud lioness," she smiled again at this, truly happy in the house of red and gold. "And pfft, enemies! As if any kind of institution could keep us apart," Lauren added with a playful wink. "Happy being a snake? My Dad will be so proud," she teased.

"I've been good. Just settling in with my house and classes. Haven't met many people though, which sucks. I'm missing Dad heaps and going through a major caffiene withdrawal. But the awesomeness that is Hogwarts compensates for all that! Did you hear about the squid in the lake? That's so wicked," she was babbling, but she couldn't help it, she was so excited to see her friend again!

"How about you? And what are you doing up here with your broom? I'm pretty sure the Quidditch pitch is outdoors," she informed her with a teasing grin.

"And look! Eyeliner!" Lauren pointed to her eyes with something akin to pride.

Just a few minutes ago Isobel had realized that she had never been to the Room of Requirement. Not just that, she had only been to the seventh floor for class....like Astronomy, and she thought that was all. Maybe her mind had spontaneously combusted.

Isobel skipped along the corridor, because she could not have skipped up the stairs-that would have been dangerous. She looked around and smiled when she caught sight of Nessie. She knew that was her name, but she had never really talked to her before. She had introduced herself on the train, but they hadn't talked much.

Isobel decided to follow her in to the Room of Requirement, for two reasons. 1) Because she wanted to talk to her, and 2) because she had no idea what she wanted the room to turn into. She walked into the room and looked around with awe. The entire thing was filled with different sorts of instruments and things related to music.

She walked slowly over to where Nessie was and enjoyed the music she was playing. Why was everyone such a better musician than her. Well, it wasn't that hard considering she couldn't play a single instrument. "That's really pretty," she said with a smile. "Where did you learn to play?"

Orchid laughed. "So true." She said with a huge smile on her face. "Oh, I bet he would be, I wish I would be able to say the same for my dad. I have been to terrified to owl him about which house I got into, he and I were both really looking forward to me following in his foot steps and all, by getting into Ravenclaw," Her smile faultered slightly at this. "but I'm sure my mother would be so proud." She said rolling her eyes. "But so far, my house has lost the most points, I did contribute to that by being late to Charms class this morning." She admitted, blushing slightly. "And I have made no friends within my house yet. You and William are my only friends in all of Scotland." Orchid said smiling slightly. Dad would be so proud to know that I've made barely any friends and am in Slytherin. She thought to herself, being sarcastic.

"Why are you going through caffeine withdrawal? You know they have coffee and caffeinated tea here, right?" She asked Lauren, tilting her head slightly in confusion. "Squid in the Lake?! Since when?" She asked her friend excitedly. "We have to go see it!"

"My broom? Oh, you know, just gonna go for a fly. I figured maybe jumping out of one of the windows would help me get the height that I want, even sooner than just starting from the ground." She joked, and winked at her friend. "Actually I was coming to the Room of Requirement to practice my Quidditch skills, tryouts for my house are this coming week so I have to be top notch if I want to make the team." She said while her mind trailed off slightly trying to think of different moves and flying and aiming adjustments she could do to help her game improve.

"Oh my goodness! That looks so good! It really defines your eyes and makes them more prominent! I love it!" She almost squealed.

Katie concentrated hard on what she wanted the most, a place to read every book she could ever want to read, a place that she could spend all her Saterdays, just reading peacefully with no noise. All of the sudden a door started to appear. She opened it to find rows and rows and rows of books. She found all her favorites quickly. Wow all these books she thought, why it's incredible, amazing! She wished she had a place to sit though, and her wish came true because as she turned the corner of the large book case a comfortable chair had appeared! This place has everything, I wish I could stay here forever! She had to get to class though and went through a maze of book cases before she could find the exit and watched the door dissapear as she walked out. I hope I'll find it again

Geraldine has been up and down, over and around the school looking for the room of requirement. Then she remembered something about where the room can be found, then she went straight to some tapestry on the seventh floor. She looked around and around, every nook and cranny of the corridor but found no room, *sigh* "I give up" Geraldine said, "Cant find the room anywhere, maybe it doesn't want me inside and cause a lot of chaos and destruction" Geraldine added, with a little laugh. "Maybe next time", she said, then suddenly looked around thinking maybe someone saw her talking to herself and making her look like a total idiot.

When she has something that she really wanted to find, maybe that time she could enter the room of requirement. She stood up, brushed some dust that collected on her robes while she was squatting at the floor looking for the room, and went to the lower floors thinking of doing more exploring.

"Awww, honey, I'm sure he'll be proud no matter what. You rock, okay," Lauren told her friend with a warm smile"Besides, if he kicks you out, you can come live with Dad and I," she teased. Instantly, the tenor of the conversation changed at the mention of her mother. There were obviously some issues there, but Lauren wasn't aware of them so she just smiled sympathetically.

"Why were you late?" Lauren asked out of curiousity. "And don't worry about it! Just earn double the points back and it'll all be forgotten," she added with a wink. "Are people not friendly? I've made one Gryffindor friend but so far everyone else seems kind of unfriendly. It's a bit intimidating," Lauren confessed with a frown.

"The uh, coffee here is pretty much un-drinkable. I think the House Elves are still acting weird, or something. I've had some green tea from Kurumi, our Prefect. But still. I'd literally kill for Starbucks. Literally. " she explained, with a chuckle.

"And yeah! It's apparently huge! I haven't seen it yet, but it's my current mission. You should help me! Ialsoreallywannaswiminthelake!" Lauren babbled excitedly, because she loved to swim and explore and experience.

At Orchid's jokes Lauren's eyes widened in shock, completely blown away at her intententions, until she revealed herself and Lauren grinned "Haha. Very funny," she smiled, her voice laced with playful sarcasm.
"Oh, is this that room you talked about?" she asked.

Raven just remembered that her brother ever told her about room of requirement. She wanted to find it. SO, Raven reach the seventh floor and thought about her wish about the room


I need a place where I can relax. A nice place with comfy coach, warm meals and coffee. suddenly there was a door, then Raven try to reach it. When she entered, it was a nice room with comfy coach, meals, and coffee.

Wicked. So, here it is the room of Requirement? I will ask Zhenya, Lana or Desiree to be here

"Oh, trust me, you won't want me to live with you." Orchid laughed. "I'm a bit of a clean freak when it comes to where I live."

"Couldn't find the classroom, I arrived just as the teacher announced class had begun." She said with a slight frown. "Well, I've tried making conversation but nobody really responds, and then I just feel awkward."

"Oh. Well, I guess I wouldn't have known that seen as I'm not a big coffee drinker, I prefer tea, but that sucks." She said and then chuckled lightly. "I bet you would." Orchid said to her friend teasingly.

"Are you kidding?! I'm gonna hug that thing!" She joked. "But there is no chance that I'll swim, especially with a GIANT Squid, he'd probably eat me for his breakfast!" She laughed.

"I thought it was, especially by the look on your face, it became very comical." She teased. "Yes, ma'am. Wanna join me?" She asked Lauren.

"Oh," Lauren blushed slightly. "Probably not the best idea then," she muttered, feeling immensely embarrassed. The messiness would not be a problem, as Lauren did not even have a home. Yep, totally embarrassing. Orchid probably had a home, and it was more than likely a nice one.

Mustering up a supportive smile, however, she responded to her friends dilemma "Oh, that sucks! Totally unlucky! And I know what you mean. I've tried talking to so many Gryffindors and they completely ignore me. It's worst than I thought it would be," Lauren confessed. "At least I have you!" she beamed.[B] "And trust me, everyone ignoring you is totally missing out."[/B]"I like tea too, but coffee is better. It results in more caffiene," she justified with a casual shrug. "And I will hold you to that hugging of the Squid. I demand photographic evidence in fact!" Lauren teased with a wink.

"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," she grinned "And yes! Absolutely, let me get my broom," Lauren dashed out of the room in the direction of her Common Room, returning only minutes later with her broom and bat in hand. "Ready?"

Chelsea walked up the 7th floor. She never really went all the way up here but she heard stories about the Room of Requirement. She just needed a place to relax that not everybody knew about. Suddenly she saw a door. Is this the room of requirement door? It has to be I don't remember this door being here a second ago She opened the door and saw she found the room of requirement. She noticed a couch by a fireplace and went to sit on it. This will be a nice place to work on my studies she thought.

"Why are you blushing?" Orchid asked curiously. "I'm the 'freak' as some people might say."

"Are you okay Lauren? You seem a bit...odd today." She asked clearly concerned for her friend. "And same goes for you, those people don't know what they're missing." She said hitting her arm lightly and smiling slightly. "Definetly! I'll need a picture to send to my father." She laughed.

Orchid grinned at her friend as she returned with broom and bat in hand. "Ready?"
