Halls and Corridors all around Hogwarts.

Hadley paced around on the third floor, she knew that she should study but the laziness took over and she ended up walking around.

I wondered the hallways a million thoughts going through my head... So much school work this year, I didnt know if i could ever keep up. as much as I knew I should be working on the rising pile of work the teachers decided on assigning I was restless and couldn't make myself sit down and work on it.

I saw Brinna walking through the corridor, but she seemed deep with worry. I didn't want to add to her concerns, so I smiled in what I hoped was a sympathetic way and walked on. Was the workload going to be insurmountable in later years? Still, today brings its own worries; I shall deal with tomorrow's worries tomorrow.

I walked in, shivering sightly from the cold outside. I needed to find somewhere to think, somewhere I could not be disturbed.

I reached for my diary, then realised with a sinking feeling that I had left all my belongings in the library. I walked into the room, hoping the slytherin had left.

Apollonius was walking through the corridor, laughing, when he realised he'd bumped into that uppity wench. 'Oh, your boyfriend is slumped in a heap on the library floor. Tell him not to get ideas above his station next time.'

He laughed even harder, walking away.

Shaloona walks thru quiet corridor. It's pretty late and dark outside. Torches throw shadows on walls. She looks behind her and moves faster.

She jerked when she saw some ghost fly thru coridor. 'Okay, just calm down. Don't be mental, nothing is going to happen to you.' She reached the entrance to the Slytherin common room and facilitated exhaled.

Amy ran in from the courtyard yelling. "Help, Professors, anyone!"

'Miss Lawrence? Whatever's the matter?' Asked the professor, taken aback by the girl's being so animated.

"In the courtyard Professor, Serenity..." She collapsed in a heap on the floor. "Go, quick!"

'Serenity? Miss Blaze?' The professor knew not what had happened, but the urgency in the young Miss Lawrence's voice spurred him to action. He raced perhaps a little more quickly than was dignified to the courtyard.

Amy stood up weakly and made her way slowly to the common room.

Ooc: I would come with but I gtg soon!

Amy walked out of the common room with Aashli following close behind. "The Room of Requirement is on the seventh floor so we'll make our way up there first." She smiled gently. "I tend to avoid it as too many people know about it since the war and I have plenty of other places for privacy when I need it."

Aashli nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I heard it got really popular. I'm just trying to find a place that I can go, to be alone if I need too. You know?" She walked beside Amy, humming quietly. It was a song she had stuck in her head.

Amy smiled, trying to recognise the song, but gave up as they reach the fifth floor. "Watch out for the staircases, they like to move." They stood on a staircase as it swivelled round. "This way" She smiled, pointing as she walked.

Aashli followed Amy quickly, not wanting to get caught on the staircase. "I heard about that. The stair cases like to move..." She smiled as she looked down at her shoes. "So are there any cute guys here?"

Amy's face dropped for a moment but then she regained her smile. "A few, and looking like you do you shouldn't have trouble finding them!"

"Sorry if I upset you. I just wanted to know..." Aashli pushed her hair out of her face. "Thank you..for the compliment. I don't find myself pretty so that makes me feel good about my looks."

"Its fine, honestly" She smiled weakly. There was an akward silence before they reached the door. "Here, walk 7 times back and forwards and we can enter"

Aashli laughed a little bit. "Alright what do I do? Just walk back and forth or..." Aashli was new to all this. She had no idea what she was doing and she didn't want to open up the door to purgatory.

"Yeh. 7 times back and forth, thinking about the room. Then it should open up"

Aashli nodded quickly and began to pace back and forth, thinking of the door. At the seventh time, a door sprang forth and she smiled. "I did it! I feel accomplished."

Amy laughed politely. "Very good." She walked in, holding the door for Aashli behind her.

Aashli quickly walked into the room. "Wow...it's gorgeous in here. No wonder people love this place." She looked around, her jaw hanging open slightly at the beauty that was the Room of Requirement.
