CHAPTER SEVEN
Back at Hogwarts. Finally having reached the room of requirement. They paced in front of the blank wall. A plain wooden door appeared with a silver door handle.
Scorpious opened the door for them all to step into the room.
Inside was the spitting image of the Gryffindor common room but instead of red and gold. It was gold, silver. Silver couch and arm chairs facing the fire with a dark wooden coffee table in the middle. A plush golden rug just in front of it.
By a glass stained window there was a table and chairs lined up next to it. The whole wall to the left of the table were shelves filled with books.
Cassie walked towards the book shelf, running here hands on the spines of books. "This could be useful."
"Of course, only you would head straight to the books." James teased. Cassie glared at him mockingly.
"Let's check out our rooms." Suggested Theo. Already walking to the doors lined up towards the back of the room. They all went to open the doors to the rooms.
The rooms had a four poster bed, a wardrobe, a study table and a book shelf just above it. It was the same color scheme as the common room. A door on the other side of the room revealed a bathroom.
"What time is it?" Asked Albus. Cassie flicked her wrist casting a tempus charm. Green glowing numbers appeared. 6:30 am. It disappeared as she flicked her wrist again.
Cassie sat down on the couch in front of the fire place." You think our parents are okay?" Staring at the fireplace clutching the time turner in her hand.
Everything happened so fast. They didn't really get a chance to let it all sink in. Their parents have been secretive ever since the attack on the ministry. Meetings in the library, potions lab and the gym. The minister himself was always in attendance. They knew something was up.
James sat next to Cassie putting a hand on her back," They have been through this before. They know what their doing. I'm sure they are okay." Cassie leaned on James shoulder.
"I was curious so I looked around in dads study the other day." Scorpious sat next to his twin on the couch. Cassie stared at him," How come you didn't tell me?!"
"It was a last minute decision. I saw the door open. Dad must of left it in a hurry and forgot to close it." They all waited for him to continue.
Scorpious sighed," There were papers scattered on his desk. I didn't know when dad would be back so I scanned through them quickly..." He continued to explain to his friends.
The mood around the room was somber. The same thoughts on their minds. Concern for their parents and their future. If they still had one.

"I found a letter in my bag as I was grabbing clothes to put away." Alex said. They were sitting in the small kitchen in the corner of the common room from the door. They hadn't noticed before.
Their dinner appeared before them. "I'm assuming all of us have one." Albus tucking into his steak.
They nodded, "They are for our parents..." Alex said scooping broccoli from his plate. "From our parents to our parents." James chuckled.
"What do you think our parents will be like in this time I mean?" Asked althea. "Well, from what were told our parents weren't exactly friends." Cassie replied.
"The meeting should be interesting then." Remarked Alex. "I just hope it doesn't mess up our future ,us being here."
"What do you mean? Isn't that why we are here to fix it? How would we mess it up?" Albus inquired finishing off his dinner.
"Our parents were on opposing sides during the war. Considering that it's only been two years since then I don't think they would get over their...issues that fast just because we are here." Scorpious looked at Albus.
Everyone finished dinner and either went back to their rooms or stayed in the common room reflecting on what was to come.
