Josie frowned at the space between the identical suits of Armour, both shiny and saluting her. She tapped her left foot on the marble surface of the seventh floor corridor and cocked her head in thought.
The Room of Requirement, not as exciting now as it must have once been. Josie read alot, no one really understood how she managed it as she had the attention span of a five year old, but for some reason she could focus enough to lose herself within crisp pages. And she had read all about the Trios adventures in this very room, long before its location was common knowledge.
How exciting must it have been creeping up the many staircases, and then thinking and wishing very hard as they traipsed back and forth three times waiting for the room to appear.
No one knew where they were and no one else could find them.
Josie sighed tapping her wand against the side of her face, now it was just another room in the castle that every student knew about and had access to. Took all the fun out of it in Josie's opinion. She sighed again rather dramatically, And then nodded as if someone had spoken to her.
She walked from one suit of Armour to the next, keeping her thoughts on one thing and one thing only. When she reached one she spun on her heel and walked back the way she had come. She repeated the action as she had read she must three times and held her breath in anticipation as she waited for the opening to appear.
She grinned as a large oak door came in to view, much like the one that lead in to the great hall, this one had several large cracks in it and one or two black marks that Josie suspected were from spells bouncing it off it.
She trailed her finger over one particularly large mark and shivered as if it was still warm. She grasped the handle and turning it to the left she smiled as the door creaked open, looking around as if she was scared she'd get caught, when in fact she knew she was allowed to be there, she nodded again and stepped inside pulling the door closed behind her.
Turning around, her fingers still brushing the handle Josie's bright green eyes grew large as she took in her surroundings.
Multi colored hangings adorned the ceiling and there were lamps of all shapes and sizes strewn about the room. The space was enormous, much bigger than she'd expected but thinking back it would have had to have been large wouldn't it.
Hammocks in every possible color were hung from the ceiling and a balcony that ran the length of the room, there were no windows and the walls were covered in various tapestry's hangings all in bright colors. Josie recognized three of the Hogwarts Houses emblems emblazoned on the walls, the Gryffindor Lion, the Hufflepuff Badger and the Bronze Eagle of Ravenclaw. There were several jam packed bookcases a few brooms propped in spare corners and a wireless on a little wooden table.
Josie stepped in to the middle of the room and turned in a complete circle taking everything in, as she turned her eyes lingered on the only portrait in the entire room. She smiled softly to herself, "Ariana Dumbledore." She bowed her head as the blonde child curtsied smiling and giggling at her.
Yes it must have been terribly exciting she thought.
