I'm in love with Lucy Snape, but I'm a Weasley!

~Chapter twenty three: Something old, something new~

"Queen to D-5..." I said lazily 

It was the next day and me, Fred and George were in the room of requirement alone because everyone else was in lessons. I was playing chess with George while Fred watched us. 

"Knight to B-7" George sighed, he couldn't even be bothered to play the game properly, I couldn't blame him. We told our chess figures to move around a bit more, prodding them when they refused to move, when finally I had lost the plot. 

"What can we do around this place?!" I groaned, "we can't exactly go to lessons!" 

"Well we could! And me and George could set off a few fireworks here and there" Fred shrugged 

"Unless you want to be hexed by the Carrows be my guest" 

"We could get out of this part of the room of requirement and see what else it has to offer?" George suggested getting up

"Yeah!, We could go into the part where I found dad's book and nick a few things from students which have left the school!" I smiled 

"I like your style!" Fred grinned 

So we headed out of the room of requirement then watched it dissapear. I took Fred and George's hands and wished for the room to reappear, a moment later it had and we walked back into the room together.

We all looked around and saw stacks and stacks of books and other objects which had been put in the room over the years. Fred and George gaped at the new surroundings but I simply stepped forward and then gestured for them to look around too.

"We'll split up and see what we can find" I nodded to them as I began running down the middle path and working my way through the maze.

There were many items which caught my eye like some fancy necklace with a mini sand timer and rings around it and a bracelet which was purely silver with gem stones in and patterns which were engraved on it I guessed this was goblin made. But then my thoughts returned to Fred and George, I wondered how they were getting on.

Fred's point of view 

This room was totally cool! The things which were hidden in here were amazing! But this hunt wasn't for myself it was for Lucy...Well the truth is I wanted to find her a really special ring because y'know... I want to propose to her after the battle (or maybe before), with her fathers premission that is...

I looked up and saw a black velvet box which must have something precious in! I stood on a chair which was in front of the pile and began climbing up the heap until I reached the box, I made a grab for it, caught it then fell back

I cursed under my breath then sat up and opened the box carefully. Inside was a beautiful tiara and engraved on it was 'wit beyond measure is a mans greatest treasure' I've heard that quote before...And it does have something to do with...Rowena Ravenclaw! Oh wow it's her diadem! I'd love to give it to Lucy but I think it's far too dangerous...It could of been cursed. I put the diadem back and continued my search. 

I went through rows and rows of items, some rows had some peculiar objects in, others just had quills and pots of ink. But then I found an isle with purely jewellery, I scanned it very, very carefully until I found a section with rings.

I ran to that section hungrily and started looking at all the rings, some were just plain boring and I had to search through the lot until I found a ring which was made out of gold but in the middle had a bunch of expensive stones which I wouldn't dare even name but I knew they were expensive.

I picked up an empty ring case, placed the ring carefully inside then shoved it in my back pocket before hearing the sound of George's voice yelling for me.
