Prologue

I never meant to go into the room I wasn't even trying to. All I was doing was pacing around on the seventh floor trying to clear my head. Boy, do I wish it had never opened up for me.

I had been pacing for at least ten minutes before the door appeared. It didn't show up like it normally would, it was a ratty old wood that had many cracks and no handle on the door just a hole where the handle should have been. Curiosity struck as I walked towards the door pushing it inward to open it.

As soon as I entered it looked like an ordinary broom closet but the size of a classroom with a few other odds and ins in it. There were unpaired socks and old textbooks, a few desks, desk chairs, and was filled left in right.

Why was I in here? What was so important about a broom closet filled with random stuff? I turned around to leave the room and something stopped me.

I turned towards the sound that had stopped me, it sounded like someone sobbing. Not someone, it was a man sobbing. I walked quietly towards the sound with my wand at the ready just in case. My jaw dropped as soon as I walked closer to see who it was.

There in front of me was a man with short bright blonde hair bent over in from of a cabinet sobbing. Ever so often gasping for breath. The suddenly he had a burst of anger and slammed himself into the cabinet.

I didn't make a peep but what gave me away was the sound of my wand hitting the ground in a loud clap. I froze in place scared as he whipped around quickly, his eyes frightened.

He rushed towards me making me flinch. He did something I didn't expect or at least I didn't expect him to do so gently. He cupped his hand around my mouth his eyes wide with fear.

He whispered gently, 'Please do not make a sound.'

All I could do was nod. He nodded with response as he let go of his hand.

I wasn't scared and I didn't know why. Maybe it was the fact that he had been so gentle or it was the fact that he had been sobbing not to long ago but I obeyed what he said. The Room of Requirement taking into effect that I was in control now and change the room around us to something that comforted me most.

"Gryffindor common room?" He asked surprised.

I nodded as he sat down on one of the couches he laid his arms on his knees as I just stood where I was.

"It'd be best for both of us if you just forget what you've seen tonight." He whispered.

"What exactly did I see? All I saw was you upset over something."

"Good, now just forget you ever saw me and don't mention it to anyone. Especially your friends." He stood up abruptly and walked towards me. "Got that?"

I nodded in response, satisfied with my reply he headed out the door shutting it behind him.

What had happened tonight? I just couldn't understand.

That was few months ago. It's been 5 months since it happened and I know now what was in that room, but I just don't understand why he was upset? Or why'd he do it? I guess I'll never know. Till then we will just keep searching for these Horcruxes.
