-Hogwarts-
Just as I had promised Fleur, after meeting her little sister I started taking the little Veela on a tour of the castle.
We had already visited several places and rooms at Hogwarts, and now at this very moment the three of us were heading towards the last room at Hogwarts that I wanted to show them.
"So is it true that you dine with ghosts?" Gabrielle, or Gabi as she prefers to be called, asked me, looking at me with an excited and curious sparkle in her eyes.
"Yes" I nodded, answering what was probably her hundredth question since the tour started, "And we ate breakfast and lunch with them too"
"So cool!" she murmured, making me smile in amusement.
"Look, I know and am friends with most of the ghosts here in the castle, so if you want I can introduce you to them" I offered to Gabi.
"Really?!" she asked in surprise, her eyes wide open.
"Yes" I replied, "So, would you like to meet them?"
And as soon as I asked that question I could see the 8 year old girl nod quickly, "I would love to!" she said, smiling excitedly.
And Fleur who was watching our interaction turned to me, "You know, I didn't realize this before, but you're really good with kids" she commented.
"Well, that's because I have a younger sister, so I learned how to deal with children because I took care of her" I shrugged.
"I understand" Fleur nodded, but she had a smile on her face that gave me a strange feeling.
'Why is she looking at me with that smile?' I wondered warily.
But leaving that strange feeling aside we continued our tour, and entering the seventh floor corridor I led the two Delacour sisters to a wall very familiar to me.
"Huh, why did we stop?" Fleur asked me confused.
"Well, we stopped because we arrived in front of the last room of the castle that I would like to show you" I replied.
"Really?" she looked at me with a raised eyebrow, before looking around, "But where is this room?"
"It is here" I said, pointing to the wall in front of us, "But specifically, the room is behind this wall, and the passage to it only appears if certain conditions are met."
"Oh, so it's a secret room?" Gabi asked me excitedly.
"Yes, and it's not just a secret room... It's actually the most secret and magical room in all of Hogwarts," I said emphatically.
"Incredible!" the little Veela murmured in wonder.
"Interesting" Fleur said looking at the wall with interest. She then raised her hand to her chin, "And what are the conditions necessary for the passage to appear?"
"Well, the conditions are simple" I started to answer, "For the passage to appear you need to walk back and forth in front of this wall three times while thinking about something or somewhere you need"
And after I said that I turned to the little girl next to me, "Tell me Gabi, if you could choose a room or place to be right now, what would it be? It could be anywhere"
And hearing my question, the little French witch placed a finger on her cheek while gaining a thoughtful look.
"Hmm... Anywhere?" she asked me.
"Yes." I nodded.
"Well, in that case I would like to be in an amusement park!" she said, and I blinked at that.
"That… is a good place," I commented, realizing that in all my time using Room of Requirement, I never thought of choosing such a place for the room to transform.
'But I shouldn't be surprised that a child would think of a place like that' I smiled slightly, 'And come to think of it, who better to use a magical room that can turn anywhere and create anything than a child full of imagination'
And shaking my head with an ironic look, I looked back at Gabi.
"Well, since you've already chosen a place, I want you to go to this wall and walk back and forth while thinking about an amusement park" I explained to Gabi, who nodded before going to the front of the wall.
She then began to walk back and forth, and on the third time a door began to magically appear in the wall.
And without wasting any time I went to the door and opened it, before entering the room with the two girls following me.
And as soon as we entered the room we were faced with the sight of a magnificent and huge open-air amusement park, and even I, who was already used to the magic of the Room of Requirement, was amazed.
The amusement park was colorful and full of lights, with several incredible attractions, such as a roller coaster, a giant wheel, a carousel, a haunted house, and several other rides and games.
'It was an excellent decision to let Gabi choose what the room would become' I thought, looking around in wonder.
But shaking my head, I turned to the two French girls who accompanied me, seeing that they were looking around with their mouths open.
"Well, welcome to the Room of Requirement, the most magical room in Hogwarts!" I said, opening my arms as I gestured around, "This is a magical, almost sentient room that only appears to those who need it, and it can transform into anywhere and create anything anyone needs."
And upon hearing this the two girls blinked in shock.
"Wow! This room is amazing!" Gabi exclaimed.
"Yes, very amazing!" Fleur nodded perplexed.
The oldest Veela then shook her head before turning to me, "Why didn't you ever tell me this place existed?" she asked, pouting.
"Well…" I started to say, tilting my head to the side, "I forgot."
And hearing this, Fleur sweatdropped, "How could you forget something like that?" she asked, and I just shrugged.
And meanwhile, Gabi, who was ignoring us, started walking around the park, completely fascinated by everything.
"Look, there's even a cotton candy machine here!" she said, turning to us with a huge smile on her face.
"Well, here's everything you'd find in a regular amusement park... Or at least what you think an amusement park should have, since this place was created following your thoughts and imagination." I said to her.
"Really?" she asked me excitedly.
"Yes" I nodded, approaching the cotton candy machine, "But unfortunately this room cannot create food"
And upon hearing this, Gabi's smile disappeared, "Awn" she whimpered.
And seeing this I shook my head with an amused smile.
"But you don't need to worry about that" I started to say, making her look at me, "There are other ways to get food here"
And saying that I clapped my hands, and with a pop a house elf wearing a cowboy hat and different colored socks appeared at my side.
"Sir Ethan called Dobby! How can Dobby help sir Ethan?" the Dobby asked as he moved energetically.
"Hi Dobby" I smiled at the strange little elf, "Could you get us some snacks and food? Oh, and some cotton candy too?" I asked.
"Of course, you can leave it to Dobby!" the small creature said, saluting.
He then disappeared with another pop, and I turned to the Veela sisters, who were looking at the place where Dobby was a short time ago with strange looks.
"Err... Ethan—" Fleur started to say, but I interrupted her.
"I know, he's a little... quirky" I said.
"A little?" she snorted, and I could only smile wryly.
I then looked at Gabi, and I could see her fidgeting as she looked at the park's attractions with obvious anticipation.
"Well, enough talking" I said, catching the attention of the two girls, "I didn't bring you here to just watch, but to have fun, so let's have fun!"
And as soon as I said that, Gabi smiled excitedly.
"Yay!" she shouted happily, and without waiting for me or Fleur she started running towards the nearest attraction, which was the carousel.
And seeing this, Fleur and I looked at each other with amused smiles, before following the little girl.
And after that, the three of us spent the entire afternoon at the amusement park created inside the Room of Requirement, having a lot of fun as we played and enjoyed the park's rides and games and ate lots of junk food and snacks that Dobby and the other elves brought for us.
And at the end of the afternoon I could easily say that this was one of the days I had the most fun at Hogwarts.
And that's why I had promised Gabi before she got back into the Beauxbatons carriage that while she was here at Hogwarts, she, her sister and I would have many more days of fun just like today.
End.
