A Moment's Reflection

[Leo Allen]

He had only ever been there one other time, yet Leo felt as if the Room of Requirement was pretty much a third home. He had greatly enjoyed his trip there the previous year, having discovered it entirely by accident when needing somewhere to sleep, finding the room to be filled with beds, pillows, and blankets. This time however he just wanted somewhere to relax and just think for a bit. What the room turned into was a room with a couple of couches, a fire place, and a window that Leo imagined showed up in a previously unwindowed location. Taking a seat on the couch near the fire place, Leo took some time just letting his mind go over his life to this point.

After a couple of hours, Leo awoke, noting he had dozed off mid-thought. He was probably going to just go back to sleep until he heard the door open. Leo at first shrugged this off as maybe a curious first year trying to discover all that they could of Hogwarts. He then heard a noise that made him reconsider as he raised his head up to see who made the noise and why, an inquisitive look on his face.

[Caprice Wildgrube]

It was strange how Caprice's inane wanderings often ended her up in the most unexpected places. But in many ways that seemed appropriate to her character - she was an 'unexpected' person, after all.
The first time she'd 'found' the Room of Requirement had been in her first year; lost and slightly afraid (though she'd never admit it) she'd stumbled upon a room that looked very much like her old home.

Perhaps she was simply missing her parents, for she'd been grateful to snuggle in what appeared to be her warm bed in a bedroom startlingly similar to the one she'd had before leaving for Hogwarts.

Upon leaving however that was it; it didn't happen again and she chalked the strange occurrence down to an odd magical encounter. In her fifth year now, the meeting from the Room of Requirement now only a distant memory, Caprice no longer desired or required her old home; no, she was happy to be away from there now - she was freer than she'd ever been before.

No, no, no, now what she needed was not her old house; it was escape.

Stumbling into the room, Caprice slammed the door shut with a bang. She finally heaved a sigh; hopefully the teachers wouldn't find her here! She really didn't want a detention.

Walking through the room which to her appeared barren - with a lone door at the very end - Caprice froze when she heard a noise herself. Oh it better not be a teacher. "H-Hello?" she called, heart thumping loud in her ears. "Anyone here?"

Tobias William King. Named after his great great grandfather (Tobias King) and his Great Uncle (William King). Both men were exemplary wizards in their day. Tobias King had been head of the Wizengamot for forty years and William King had been a keen Potioneer and inventor of the Kleen Sheen Potion, though what that it did Tobias had no idea.

Tobias knew he was well known throughout Hogwarts. He wasn't overly arrogant about it though. That would lead to complacency and that was the last thing he wanted at all. Even so, now and again walking through the corridors the occasional people would look over him and whisper to a friend. These were most likely first years who had never seen him before. Older students seemed to be less bothered with Tobias' somewhat meager Celebrity status.

That day however none of those things had been happening. He had instead been in the Library and was just about to head up to the Owlery when he heard a bang coming from around the corner. Possibly it was just a silly first year messing around but even so, Tobias thought it was his duty to discover the source of the sound.

Walking swiftly, he soon discovered a fading door on a wall. That was odd. Of course at Hogwarts doors often disappeared and reappeared at will. It didn't make Tobias feel any better. He was ninety nine percent sure that the door which had now faded away completely, was the source of the bang he had heard, but now, with a blank wall in front of him and no sign of anyone around, he was stuck. Of course, he could have just turned away and forgotten about it. Plenty of odd things had happened at Hogwarts and it was easy to just chalk this up to the magic in the air. Still. Tobias was nothing if not determined. He stared at the blank wall where the door had been just a moment ago, wishing it would reappear.

He had to blink. For slowly a door began to appear in the wall, the very same door that had disappeared a moment ago. Taking a deep breath, for Tobias had no idea what awaited him on the other side, he pushed the door open and stepped in.

'What's going on in here then?'

[Leo Allen]

Leo blinked, then sighed, as he noticed two different people arrive. One was a girl that he at least recognized from his house and year. The other was someone he had only heard about due to his heritage, and that was Tobias King. Sitting up and scratching his head a bit, he pondered briefly about his luck and how his attempt for a few hours solitude was ended by two people somehow managing to find the Room of Requirement with him in it. Granted, he didn't exactly know the rules of the Room, but he still found this to be incredibly odd.

"Well guess I'm not the only one here now eh? Blimey can't a guy get a few moments to himself? Try takin a nap out of the way and at least two people come through the bloody door," he said, not entirely serious with his rant as evidenced by his tone. He chuckled a bit before hanging his head, another chuckle escaping before he rubbed the back of his neck. He then stood up and looked at the pair of new arrivals, making mental note to remember to not be an arse, which he would do on rare occasion and yet was something he really didn't like to do due to his dislike of arrogance.

Tobias surveyed the scene. One boy. Gryffindor clearly, but certainly not in his year and another girl, also a Gryffindor and also not in his year. Tobias was outnumbered.

He had to laugh when the boy talked about taking a nap. Did he not know anything?

'You do realise... we have places assigned to us to sleep in... they're called dormitories. Unless of course people don't respect you... in which case I can totally understand why you'd want to get out.'

He had a small smirk on his face but Tobias didn't want it to show too much. He didn't know these people. He didn't know how useful they could be, yet.
