It was easy to tell who was approaching the library. Not only because of the fact that every person except for one was already in the library but because of the loudness of the steps. The way the person took space without asking for it with such ease that by some wonder came naturally. "I have an idea."
Salazar looked up from his book as he stood in the corner of the room. "I don't like the sound of it."
Godric rolled his eyes and took his place next to Rowena and easily put his feet on the table; he completely ignored Rowena's muttering about him being a baboon. "Why is that dear Salazar?"
"Because the last time you had an idea we ended up with a giant squid in the lake for no reason at all."
"And the time before that- ", Helga's voice came from over their heads as she stood on a ladder reaching for a book on one of the top shelves. "The time before that you suggested that we invent a room that only appears when someone really needs it and then when you were going to show it to us you didn't find it again and a few weeks later you told us that you didn't remember where it was."
Godric raised a finger at that. "I told you that I don't remember where it is. The key- word in that sentence is you..."
Rowena raised an eyebrow. "So, you do remember where the room is?"
"I never said that. But I'm not going to deny it either." Godric shrugged and his smile grew as his friends groaned in frustration. "So, do you want to hear my newest idea?"
No hesitation. All three spoke at the same time. "No."
