Friendship on Fire | Fred & George Weasley

Room of Requirement

When I found out I would be coming to Hogwarts, never did I ever imagine I would have to fear for my life...at least inside these walls. Marcus Flint has made it perfectly clear he will do anything and everything to.. "Get me"..And the sense that I am getting from his cryptic message is not a good one. Umbridge is in charge of the whole school and creating new ruled every single day, so I cant tell her what is going on. I cant involve Fred..He would do something stupid and get himself expelled. I cant get George involved either without Fred knowing. And Draco would just threaten him which would piss him off even more.

I spent the entire walk from the third floor to the seventh floor with my wand at the ready. The whole time on the grand staircase I had my back pushed against the railings. My hands finally stopped shaking after our encounter almost an hour ago..And right now I am insanely late for my lesson with Dumbledores Army. I don't even know where the room of requirement is..

I was saved when I came upon Neville who was standing by a window. "Hey Neville..umm Where is the room of requirement?" I asked slowly walking towards him and finally lowering my wand. He opened his mouth to answer but his eyes widened when he saw me. "Ronnie..your face" He exclaimed with a worried expression. I furrowed my brow at him before I remembered Flint hit me not too long ago. "Oh I tripped on the stairs earlier" I said waving my hand like it was nothing. "Is that a hand print?" He asked walking closer and going to touch my face, but i abruptly pulled away. I never have been a good liar and I will cave if he asks me too many more questions.

"Wheres the room of requirement?" I asked once again. He gave me a skeptical look, before nodding his head to a door that seemed to just appear behind him. I gave him a small smile and pushed my way through the tall double doors. The room inside was bigger than I expected, with faded mirrors lining the walls and a standing mirror off to the corner. I looked around to see what looked like dummy death eaters on wheels sitting of to the side. I laughed and shook my head at how creepy they looked.

The room was packed of the students who signed up for dumbledores army. They all seemed busy with their own conversations to realize I even entered the room. I snuck a peak in the mirror next to me to see that Flint had in fact, left a purple hand print shaped bruise against my face. I waved my wand making it quickly disappear. I felt the fear I was feeling earlier leave my body and it was replaced by something else..anger. How dare he think he can treat me that way? He doesn't even know a thing about me..and he tries to do that to me. I was angry at myself for even letting him in the first place. Maybe the best thing for me is revenge... I am not a vengeful person, But i cannot let Flint keep getting away with this..

I heard the door open and close once again and saw Neville enter with Luna, they walked over to Parvati and Padma Patil who were standing closer to the door. I saw Harry, Ron and Hermione standing by a large fireplace with no heat emitting from it. The twin were not hard to spot, as they were the tallest people in the room..They were with Ginny by the window across the room. Cho was by herself staring at the photos plastered to the standing mirror. and the others were scattered and chatting amongst themselves.

"Hi, your Ronnie right?" I heard a small voice ask beside me. I turned as saw a small boy who looked like they were a first year. I would have thought he was a Weasley with his bright red hair. He also had the Weasley freckles across his face. He had a large but nervous smile on his cute face. I nodded and smiled back at him. "I'm Nigel! I'm a first year.." He said shrugging his shoulders like it was no big deal. He started rambling on about some random school things and how excited he was for the lessons I would help teach..And I admired his exuberance, especially since he was a first year. "Its nice to meet you Nigel" I told him shaking his small hand. "I should go ask Harry what Ill be teaching" I said ruffling his hair and walking towards the front of the room.
