Chapter 1: Rowena's Room

The hall way of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was empty say for a young man in black jeans that hugged to his legs a polo maroon shirt and black converse. His hair was black and unmanageable neck length hair. Harry Potter sighed irritated as he thought to himself what everyone expected from him. Harry thought as he began pacing back and forth in an empty hallway. 'Damn it…if only I had more time! More time to train…more time to prepare…more time to figure this out!'

Just as Harry made his third march down the hall, something caught his eye. Slowing to a stop, Harry looked down the corridor in front and finds a door that hadn't been there previously.

"That's odd…" Harry said as he approached the door. "I could have sworn that there wasn't a door here earlier. Am I imagining things?"

Looking behind him to see if anyone was watching, Harry opens the door and walks inside. What he found shocked him speechless.

Inside was the interior of what looked like a library, albeit a really large library. It was like the Hogwarts library, only it seemed to have a larger selection of books to read. There were several tables scattered around the area, and some of them had open books on top of them.

Finally regaining control of his body, Harry made his way through the library towards the back table where a neatly written note lay. Curiosity peaked; Harry moves towards the table and takes a seat before reading the letter. What he read shocked him.

To whoever finds this room;

My name is Rowena Ravenclaw, and if you are reading this book then that means you've found my secret chamber. The room is called the Room of Requirements, and it is my greatest success. When I was building this room, we were in a time of peril, Salazar had just left Hogwarts, and a powerful dark wizard had just appeared. My original intention when building this room was to create a safe house accessible to students in the emergency of an attack on the school. Using all my knowledge of charms and ancient runes, I designed it so that the door would only appear when someone was in dire need of it.

Using certain charms alongside some runes, the room is designed to provide everything one requires when staying inside, all it requires it the vocalization on the desire. For instance, say that while you were inside the room you desired a roasted pig for dinner, by simply stating it out loud; the magic of the room summons it to existence. At first I never realized the full potential of the room, however, one day after having a fight with Godric I came to the room wishing for an escape for a few days. My wish was granted and I spent nearly two weeks in the room before finally coming out. However, much to my surprise, upon exciting the room I found that barely over eight hours had passed.

I was shocked. When I created to room I only had the intention of creating a safe house for the children should it be necessary. However, I found myself creating a room that could bend the fabric of time inside it. I shared this knowledge with Godric and Helga who were just as stunned as I was. At first they wanted to remodel the room to prevent this effect as messing with time was very forbidden magic. But after much talk and research regarding the room, I managed to convince them to allow it to remain provided I didn't work on it anymore.

Naturally I agreed, but continued my work in secret and after many years completed it with Helga or Godric finding out. The room you are in right now is the true form of the Room of Requirements, the room that distorts time. If you have found this room and this note then that means you are in great need of time. Whether or not it is so that you can survive a war or some other reason, you now have access to this room. I hope that it will prove helpful to you, and that you put it to good use.

---Rowena Ravenclaw

Harry sat stunned as he reread the note once again before setting it down and staring at the wall ahead. Ever so slowly, a smile made its way across Harry's face before he let out a load whoop of joy. If what the letter said was true, then he won't have to die when he fought Voldemort!

'But how do I test this?' Harry thought before an idea came to mind. 'If this truly distorts the fabric of time, then I could spend a little while in here preparing for the final battle. I'll spend about a week in here before heading back outside. If this is true, only a few hours will have passed.'

With that in mind, Harry grabbed several of the nearby open books and got to work. Preparing for what the future had in store.
