Pennelope and The Order (Harry Potter Love Story) Book 5

D.A.

I walked through the halls alone, just wondering around the next day.

"Pennelpe!"

I turned around to see Harry running towards me, he skidded to a half and panted, using his knees as support.

"What?" I asked.

"I found out where we can have the meetings, Dobby visited me yesterday and told me about the Room of Requirement, he says that very few know about it and it only appears when the person needs it!" Harry whispered quickly.

"So . . . Say you need a place to study, a door appears and there's a study room?" I asked.

"Yes," Harry said.

"That's so cool! Did you tell everyone?" I asked, Harry nodded at me.

At half-past seven, Harry, Ron, Hermione and I left the common room , Harry clutched his Map.

"Hold it," Harry said warningly.

He unfolded the map and tapped it with his wand. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

Hogwarts appeared on the blank map. Tiny black dots, labeled with names, showed where various people were.

"Filch is on the second floor," Harry said. "And Mrs. Norris in on the fourth."

"And Umbridge?" I asked.

"In her office," Harry said. "Okay, let's go."

We hurried along the corridor to the place Dobby had told Harry

"Okay," Harry said quietly. "Dobby said to walk last this bit of wall three times, concentrate hard on what we need."

Harry, Ron, Hermione and I walked forwards and began to pace, Ron has his eyes screwed up, Hermione and I are whispering under our breath and Harry has his fists clenched.

Hermione gasped, we all wheeled around to see a door, a very high polished door to he more specific. Harry reached out, gripped the handle and pulled the door open. I walked inside in awe, torches hung on the stone walls making it look like the dungeon.

There's wooden bookcases, and instead of chairs, there is large silk cushions. A set of shelves at the far end of the room had instruments like Sneakoscopes, Secrecy Sensors, and a large, cracked Foe-Glass.

"These will be good when we're practicing Stunning," Ron said enthusiastically, prodding one of the cushions with his foot.

"And just look at these books!" Hermione and I said excitedly, we ran our fingers along the spines of them. "A Compendium of Common Curses and Their Counter-Actions . . . The Dark Arts Outsmarted . . . Self-Defensive Spellwork . . . Wow . . ."

I ran up to Harry and threw my arms around him.

"Harry, this is wonderful, there's everything we need here!" I said, doing a spin in the middle of the room.

I ran back to the bookshelf, Hermione and I grabbed a book and began to read. A knock on the door made me look up.

Ginny, Neville, Lavender, Parvati, and dean arrived. Ginny spotted me and sat down in the cushion next to me.

"Look at these books!" I said happily, shoving a book in her lap. "These are brilliant!"

More people flooded inside. By eight o'clock, all the cushions have butts on them, Er . . . Let me rephrase that . . . All the cushions are occupied, leaving none left out. A click from the door rang out and everyone went silent, I marked my page and so did Hermione.

"Well," Harry said, I can tell he's nervous. "This is the place we've found for practices, and you've - Er - obviously found it okay -"

"It's fantastic!" Cho said, I frowned, forgetting she came.
