The next day, I told Hermione what we had found and Draco, Hermione, Ron and I headed back up to the room to see if she knew what it was. The second the door started to grow in front of us she gasped, clearly mesmerised and said in an astonished whisper, "You found it".
"What?", Asks Draco as we follow after her. Inside, she looks around smiling in awe.
"The room of requirement. You've never heard of it?", She asks.
"The room of what?", I ask
"The room of requirement. I remember looking for it in first year after I read about it, but I started to think it wasn't real and was just another Hogwarts legend. I completely forgot about it. It's the perfect place for us!", She smiles happily.
"Woah slow down. What is this place?", Draco says interrupting her happy moment.
"The room of requirement", She sighs impatiently.
"Could you elaborate please?", Asks Ron, confused.
"It's a secret room hidden here in Hogwarts. It's also known as the come and go room. It only appears when a person is in great need of it, and it transforms into whatever they most need at that moment", She explains.
"The come and go room?", Ron snorts. "So say you really needed the loo-".
"Yes Ronald", Hermione interrupts. "That is the general idea".
"That's not the only thing it could be used for", Draco chuckles, nudging Ron. Ron laughs loudly.
I elbow Draco hard in the ribs. "OW!", He cries.
"Bloody idiot."
I turn to Hermione. "How many people know about it?".
"Very few. Mostly, people just stumble across it when they need it, and that's how they find out".
"It's absolutely perfect!", I cry.
"Sounds good. So no one else can get in while we're in here?", Draco asks.
"As long as one of us stays in here, no one can get at us. The door won't open.", She explains.
"Bloody brilliant! We're sorted then!", Shouts Ron.
"We'll have our first meeting on Monday. Ron and Hermione, spread the word to all the members that we'll be meeting here on this floor so we can explain the room and make sure everyone gets inside okay. They won't know how to get in yet. Draco, you and I will start kitting the room out.", I order.
"On it. You coming Mione?", Says Ron.
"Sure. See you later", She says to Draco and I.
"Oh, wait. Can you remind Harry to start planning what's he's going to teach on the first lesson?", I ask.
Hermione stops, a thoughtful look in her eye. "Please (Y/N), talk to him yourself. You two need to sort this out. You did promise you'd help him with this".
I sigh, "Fine. But if he shuts me down you're going to have to talk to him".
She grins, "I will. Good luck".
They leave the room leaving Draco and I alone.
"Are you happy now?", He asks.
"Very. I was so worried we wouldn't find anywhere and would have to call the whole thing off", I respond.
"Well, we found somewhere. Now you can stop worrying", He smiles and takes my hand, pulling me closer to him so that are faces are only centimetres apart. I feel my heart skipping and the heat rushing to my cheeks. Despite being together a few months now, every time he kisses me feels like the first time all over again. I find myself forgetting that i'm used to this, and the butterflies fly around in my stomach like the very first time he kissed me. He still makes me nervous, which I've learned to hide well, but deep down I am still as mesmerised as I was the first time he came close to me and the first time our lips touched. It felt so right, so magnetic. It was like i'd found something i'd been searching for my whole life even if I didn't know it yet. It felt so good, and I knew at that moment that this was what life was for. It was all for him. His kiss, his touch, his voice, his gaze and his glare, no matter how painful. He is everything to me now, and I believe he always was. In Diagon Alley that day, when we first met, my life changed forever. I know now that I will do anything for him. He doesn't need to ask. I will fight for him when the time comes and the war begins, fuck, I would kill for him if I had to. I would die for him, without hesitation.We finally make our way down to the common room, tired but satisfied with our find.
Blaise is sitting on his usual chair, his head crouched over some parchment.
"Tell us about your date then", I smile, collapsing on the couch with Draco.
He looks up, "Merlin, I wasn't so sure you were coming back".
"Yeah well, we have great news. We found a room on the seventh floor", Draco says.
I explain the room of requirement to Blaise, speaking quietly so no one else hears.
To my surprise he doesn't look shocked at all.
"Ohhhh...that room", He laughs, nervously.
"You know it?", I say, startled.
"I've only been in there once, me and Luna...well we needed somewhere to...you know".
"You dirty bastard!", I cry, astonished.
Draco just laughs, "I told you lot it was used for shagging!".
"I can't believe this! We're going to be learning and practicing the dark arts in the same room you and luna...EW!", I shout.
"Seems Blaise has been already been practicing the dark arts with Luna if you know what I mean", Draco chuckles.
"DRACO!".
"Thanks for that Draco. I mean come on (Y/N), it's the best place for it in the whole castle.", Blaise says earnestly.
I can't help but laugh. "You're taking precious years off my life you two". I sigh and put my head in my hands.
"You know you love us", Blaise says.
I look at them both. "Sadly I do. I really, really do".
I squeeze both of their hands affectionately.
"Good, keep it that way", Blaise grins.
"I hope this DA thing works out", Draco says, quietly. I can see the worry on his face.
"It will.", I reassure him. "It's all going to be okay in the end. I promise".The truth is, I don't know how anythings going to go, at all, and I'm making promises I can't keep.
