It was nearing the end of dinner when Hermione left the head table and began walking to the Hufflepuff table. Bella watches as her fiancé walks over to where her great nephew is seated and whispered something in his ear. 'What are they up to?' She thinks to herself as she watches them leave the hall together. "Trouble in paradise Bellatrix?" Abbigail asks. "Nope. Not that it's any of your business." Bella snaps. "Miss White, if you must know Professor Granger is tutoring young mister Lupin." McGonagall stated ending the conversation.

Meanwhile in an empty hallway Hermione is pacing back and forth three times with her eyes firmly shut as she thinks about what she needs from the room. Suddenly two doors appear causing Teddy to gasp and step back quickly. "Aunt Mione! What is this?" He asks surprise in his voice. "This Teddy...is something Neville found in our fifth year. We used is a sort of secret hideout to practice spells and such. It's called 'Room of Requirement, or the come and go room." Hermione explained. "How did you get it to open?" Teddy asks as they enter the room. "You walk back and forth in front of the wall three times as you think about what you need the room to become. The room will change due to your needs." Hermione added.

"So if I was walking up her and I really needed the loo? It would open up to a bathroom?" Teddy asked. Hermione laughed at the blue haired boy. "Yes. Merlin! You sounded like Ron just then! He said the same thing after Neville found it." Hermione replied. Teddy shrugged his shoulders before responding. "Well Uncle Ron's not wrong." "No your right there, now lets get practicing shall we?" Hermione asked.

She summoned several objects of various size, shape and weight and instructed Teddy to make them vanish, change into something else, and conjure more of them. Teddy focused on the objects as he spoke the different incantations for each spell. "Very good Teddy! See! You do know this stuff. You just need to relax when you're trying to cast the spells. Now is there anything else I can help you with?" Hermione asked. "Uh...yea actually....I was wondering if you knew how to cast a Patronus charm?" He asked. Hermione nodded before waving her wand and wordlessly casting her otter patronus. "Wicked! Can you show me?" Teddy asked. "Isn't that a lesson for Professor Black to teach?" Hermione asked. "Well...yes...but Dad...said he taught all of you in your third year...and I thought I could ask you so I'd be prepared." Teddy replied. Hermione looked at him for a long moment before responding. "How about this...I'll help you practice after Professor Black has taught you the basics. Is that a deal?" Hermione asked. Teddy nodded slowly. "Good, now come on..let's get you to your dorm room...or do you have quidditch practice now?" Hermione asked. "No, I've got practice tomorrow night." Teddy replied as they left the secret room.
