Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Following day-
Today was Sunday, and I had sent a letter to the twins asking us to meet after breakfast, as I wanted to show them something interesting.
That something I wanted to show them was the Room of Requirement, and my decision to reveal the room's existence to them wasn't something that came out of the blue.
In fact, I already had the intention of showing them the room soon after we became friends.
And I knew that possibly in the next school year Harry will create Dumbledore's Army, and I also knew that when that time comes they will discover the existence of the Room of Requirement, so it didn't make sense for me to try to keep the room to myself.
But of all my friends I intended to show the room only to the twins, at least this year, as I was sure they would be the only ones who would use the room competently, both for their creative minds and the fact that they were the only wizards I knew who were interested in secret rooms and mysterious things involving magic.
And I was sure of one thing, and that was that the two would use the Room of Requirement to help them with their pranks once they figured out how the room worked.
'I dread to think what they will be able to do with their pranks with the help of a magical room that grants their requests.' I thought, and not just me but everyone in the school felt a chill run through their bodies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After breakfast-
"So what is this interesting place you want to show us?" Fred asked me, walking with an excited stride.
"Yeah, and where is it?" George asked, almost as excited as his brother, looking around.
"Well, the place I want to show you is a secret room" I said to them, leading them through the corridors of Hogwarts to the seventh floor, "Actually, this room is perhaps the second most secret and unknown room in the school"
"A secret room?" George muttered, looking at his brother with a questioning look.
"Err... But we know all the secret rooms in the school" Fred said.
"Yes, and that was before we got our ATLAS" George continued, tapping the stone on his bracelet. He then looked at me confused and a bit skeptical, "Are you sure this room is really secret?"
And hearing his question I just let a slight smile play on my lips, "Yes, I'm sure this room is secret, and I'm also sure you've never seen it"
"But how? We've already visited all the secret rooms we've seen on the Marauder's Map and the ATLAS" Fred asked, and I stopped to turn to them with a mysterious smile.
"The answer to that is simple... This secret room isn't on any of our maps," I replied, and that made the twins blink in surprise, before looking at each other.
""A secret room... that isn't on our maps?"" they spoke in unison.
And after saying that, they realized that I wouldn't lie to them, which meant that this room I was going to show them really wasn't even on the Marauder's Map or the ATLAS.
And when they realized they were heading towards a room that probably not even the Marauders visited, their confused and skeptical looks changed to excited looks.
And with shining eyes, they turned to me smiling.
"So what are we waiting for?" George asked, holding my right arm.
"Yes! Let's go to this incredible secret room!" Fred said, grabbing my other arm.
And the two then, with looks full of expectations began to drag me.
"Hey, wait!" I exclaimed, "Where are you two dragging me if you don't even know where this room is?!"
But instead of answering me the twins kept dragging me with smiles on their faces.
'Damn, where did all their strength come from!?' I wondered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Seventh Floor - Opposite the Room of Requirement-
"So this is where the entrance to this secret room is?" Fred asked, looking to the side at the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy teaching the Trolls ballet.
"Yes, and for the room to reveal itself, a few things need to be done" I said, and then turned to George, "George, can you go to the front of that wall and walk back and forth three times?"
"Huh? Yes..." George answered confused, going to the front of the wall.
"Okay, now before you start walking, I want you to think of something you need. It could be an object, a room, or something that can help you in some situation" I started to say, with George looking at me as he listened to my instructions.
"Actually, to keep it simple, try to think of a room, and it could be any type of room"
And listening to me George looked at me strangely, before sharing a look with his brother who just shrugged.
And remembering that he had done stranger things before than walking in front of a wall, George simply shrugged too, before starting to pace back and forth, and the third time a door began to appear in the wall at in front of us.
"Damn it, so there really was a secret room here?" Fred said in surprise, with his brother moving to his side, also looking towards the door.
"If you're just surprised by that, wait until you see what this room can do," I said with an enigmatic smile.
I then went to the door, placing my hand on it, but before I opened it I turned to George.
"Just out of curiosity, which room did you think of?" I asked.
"Oh, I thought of the Headmaster's office," he replied, and I stopped, blinking as I looked at him.
"Why?"
"Well, we were planning on pranking him, something even the Marauders couldn't do" George started to answer.
"Yeah, and if we can play a prank on Headmaster, we'll prove to Padfoot and Moony that we're better pranksters than they are" Fred continued, nodding to himself with a smug, competitive look.
"And to be able to prank him we need to attack him when he's off guard, preferably somewhere he least expects it" George finished.
"In other words, in his office" I nodded.
"Exactly!" George spoke with a satisfied look, "And since we've never been in his office we don't know what to expect when we break in there, and for that reason I thought of his office"
"That was smart," I said, and the twins smiled proudly at the compliment.
"And well, I guess not knowing what the Headmaster's office is like won't be a problem for you anymore"
"What do you mean?" Fred asked confused.
And instead of answering him, I slowly opened the door to the Room of Requirement, stepping into the room as the twins looked at each other, before shrugging and following me.
And just as the three of us entered the room the door behind us clossed, not that the twins noticed as they stared ahead in shock.
"Is this?" George started to ask with a dazed look.
"Yes" I replied.
"And that is?" Fred asked, pointing to the table across from us.
"Uhum" I agreed.
"But how?"
"Well, it's all thanks to this room... The Room of Requirement!" I replied, and I could feel the room vibrate slightly in 'joy'.
"Room of Requirement? I've never heard of this room..." Fred commented.
"And for that reason it remains a secret room," I said sarcastically.
"This room is a room that can create anything or become any room, depending on the need of the one who 'called' it, and as you could see outside, to make the room show itself it is necessary to walk in front of it three times back and forth while thinking of something you need" I explained, and turning around I saw the twins gaping.
""Amazing"" they echoed in wonder.
"Yes...This is the reaction I was expecting from you." I said, nodding satisfied to myself.
'Apparently even someone who has always lived in the wizarding world can be surprised by the things magic is capable of doing' I thought.
End.
