As she walked down the torch-lit corridor away from the newly built hospital wing; her blue-silk skirts fluttering just above her dainty feet as she moved; an idea formed in her mind. There was only one man who would listen to her without judging her for making such an accusation. She headed towards the seventh-floor where he spent most of his time; a tear rolling down one cheek from her visit to the sick-beds and sweat down the other from the anticipation of what she was about to tell the wizard she could say anything to. She arrived at his office slightly later than expected; having to of course confirm that she was making the right choice and having to dodge the ghastly poltergeist who still hadn't told them his name; but nevertheless she got there without being detected by the others.
"Rowena? Are you OK? You appear to be shaken up by something" he asked and deduced the moment she had stepped through the archway.
"I am aware that you are busy Godric; but there is no one else I can talk to about this. You have already been extremely understanding on the matter" she replied shakily.
"Has there been another attack?"
"Alas; it was one of my own students this time. Helena Temple was found in one of the bathrooms covered in blood not long after the evening feast"
"And she is Muggle-born?"
"Half-blood; it appears the attackers have widened their target. I suspect that Salazar's students are behind this" she confessed. "Perhaps Salazar himself"
"And you came to me because you hoped my grudge against Slytherin would guarantee my allegiance in the matter?"
"Of course not! I'm sorry Godric. Helga only ever sees the best in people and swears that this grudge that Salazar has against Muggles is nothing more than harmless arrogance. I can't approach Salazar on the issue or I could be next!"
"So what do you propose we do?" Godric asked her.
"I was hoping you would have an answer to that very question"
"Let us assume; hypothetically of course, that Slytherin is in fact behind these attacks in some way. As I have told you already I am reasonably informed that he has built a secret chamber in the school which could serve his purpose on a much wider scale. Perhaps; if Slytherin's chamber is intended for attack; we need to prepare a defence".
"What do you mean?"
"We need somewhere to train our own students in secret; a place that will always be equipped with the necessary essentials based on the students' current needs (in this case equipment to practise defensive spells on) that cannot be detected by Slytherin or his students" he pondered.
"Could such a place exist?"
"It is possible"
"And what about Helga? Will her students have access to this place?"
"A place such as this should be available to anyone who is in need of its services and abilities. The flaw of course would allow access to the Slytherins but only if it didn't compromise the ensured safety of our own students who we would construct this place for".
"I like it Godric. Perhaps the place or room could do more than offer a training ground for students. Any need that a student has to satisfy could be found in this room. I'm sure there are various enchantments that can place the room in a permanent and eternal state of flux to act out of . . . . out of what? Necessity?"
"Not necessity, Rowena" he told her. "Requirement".
