The room of requirement. Hermione could only dream of being given the permission to enter it. Today her dream had come true.

"Mrs Granger, you will stay in the room of requirement for the remainder of the holidays, due to the state of the girl dorms after the incident last year" Mrs McGonagall said drowsily, like she needed a lot more sleep "I will be out at a meeting with the ministry, so if you need anything, madam Pomfrey is in the hospital ward and Mr Weasley will be visiting shortly after 7:00 PM" Mrs McGonagall then got on her broom and sped towards the front gate of Hogwarts before Hermione could clarify that it would be Mr Weasley visiting her. Hermione looked up at the old clock, 20 past 2 and she was starving! She couldn't remember having a proper meal in days!

'Hmm, ok… I want the room to contain, a table full of my favourite foods!' Hermione thought gleefully, after all Hermione had been through, she was glad to have time to relax. 'Oh, I just want that to be in the kitchen of my room, I want the perfect home with a spa!' Hermione said overjoyed at the concept. She attempted to twist the door knob, just as she placed her hand around the handle a blue flame, smaller than a pea jumped out and zapped her "Ouch!" Hermione exclaimed putting her finger in her mouth to cool the burning. 'Fine I'll try again' she thought to herself 'I want the perfect home, with a dining room full of my favourite food!' Hermione thought.

She placed her hand on the door knob slowly, ready to react if another blue flame appeared, but to her dismay, it didn't budge! The door was locked tight, that meant someone else had to be inside. Hermione listened at the door and that's when she heard it, a faint crying noise. This lead her to a long brainstorm on who could be inside, the only people in the castle were her and Madam Pomfrey. It couldn't be Madam Pomfrey, because Hermione had just seen her gathering medical supplies and carefully staking them on the shelves in one of the twelve medical cabinets located in the hospital wing. 'It must have been my imagination, the door must be jammed or something' She attempted to twist the door knob again, this time using all her strength, but the door didn't even shake slightly.

Hermione went to the library to research how the room of requirement actually came to be, but all she could find were rules for what is asked, Hermione realized it was getting late and she was still hungry. Just as she was about to give hope, there was a bang, like the dropping of a book, making Hermione jump. "Madam Pomfrey?" Hermione called to the dying echo of the dropped book, but there was no answer. Scared, Hermione reached for her wand and slowly raised from her chair, quietly she made her way to where the book was dropped. Tip toeing, Hermione grasped tighter on her wand, beads of sweat dripped from her head, when a voice from behind her called "There you are!"

Hermione spud around viciously and was about to scream a spell, if her eye sight had not recognised the sight of Mr Weasley in time. "Mr Weasley, you gave me quite a fright!" Hermione breathed a Heavy sigh and closed her eyes in relief, "I thought I'd find you here, Hermione granger, what are you looking up now?" He said grinning at her with the same Weasley Grin she usually found on Ron's face. "I'm trying to work out how to enter the room of requirement; It seems to be 'engaged'" Hermione said in a sarcastic tone "I'm not sure what you mean? I went there to look for you 10 mins ago and the room was vacant" the thought sent chills down Hermione's spine. "So what were you looking for in the library?" Hermione questioned, trying to take her mind off the mysterious crying noise "Well I was looking for you" He said blankly. "I meant the books, you were looking at a book were you not?" Hermione questioned remembering the loud noise of a dropping book "No I only entered through the library door moments before I met you" he said, looking at Hermione as though she should be in a white coat "well once your finished I have prepared a magical dinner in the room of requirement, the door will be left open" and he left.

Hermione was scared, as she remembered Mr Weasley had come from behind her, while she was heading towards the dropped book and there was only one entrance. Curiosity overtook her feelings of being scared and Hermione paced to down the isles glancing for a book on the floor. After about 50 isles, Hermione got to the back row, a long hall of books, about 150 metres long, which seemed dark and scary. She stared down at the end, where the utmost corner of the library was, there on the floor was the book, face down. Slowly Hermione walked down the long isle, constantly telling herself it was Hogwarts, and nothing could get her at Hogwarts, even though Hermione just wanted to bolt out of there.

He knees began shaking rapidly and her heart pounding loudly in her chest as she neared the corner, anything could be waiting for her around that corner. She closed in on the book; and she began to quicken her pace, ready to bolt out of there once she had acquired the book. Hermione bent down and picked up the book with one clammy hand, being careful not to loose the page number, she glanced at the title "Room of Requirement" this was the book she had been looking for, inside the page read "Repeating past experiences-how to loop a point in time" Hermione looked confused, she read the title again but still couldn't make out the meaning, she folded the corner of the page back and closed the book, maybe Mr Weasley could make out the meaning.

Hermione turned to the left, glad to be on her way out, when she saw a dark hooded figure, screaming Hermione ran away as fast as she could, tripping on her heel. Hermione tried desperately to pull herself up but she wasn't fast enough, a haunting shadow was cast over her and Hermione wondered if this was the end…
