We threw the cloak over us and walked away. We continued walking until Harry said, "Stop."
We all stopped. Harry then said "O.K. Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Gina what I want you to do is walk back and forth and think we need a room where we can talk and not be disturbed. O.K."
"Harry." I said."
"What Gina."
"Harry is this the Room of Requirement?"
"Yes."
"How did you learn about it."
"Oh Dobby the house elf let it slip."
"O.K."
"How did you know about it?"
"Well Sirius told me about it."
"Cool. Okay everyone walk back and forth and be careful, because we all have to stay hidden under the cloak."
"Sure Harry." Everyone said at the same time.
We all then started to walk back and forth in front of this empty wall. It was no easy task. Five of us that is trying to walk under one cloak with no body parts sticking out. It would just be very weird for someone to walk along and see a hand floating around in the air with no body anywhere to be seen.
We walked back and forth 3 times and then a door appeared.
"Come on everyone." I said to the group.
"What if someone comes in and interrupts us?" asked Hermione.
"Oh they won't" Harry and I said at the same time. "See that is the good thing about the Room of Requirement, unless someone walks in front of the door 3 times and says I want to be in the same room as Harry, Gina, Ginny, Hermione and Ron they won't be able to get in. If they need a bathroom or something it will change to a bathroom for them, but it will not bother us. Get it?"
"Yes," replied Ron.
"Oh don't you just love magic." Said Hermione and Ginny at the same time and then they turned to each other and started to laugh.
"What's so funny" asked Harry and Ron who were completely clueless to what was happening."
Because of that I started to laugh, which only made Ginny and Hermione laugh harder. The whole time we are all still hiding under the invisibility cloak.
"Get in I think I hear someone coming, and be quiet." Hissed Harry.
Hermione, and Ginny stopped laughing, but I kept laughing, only quietly. We turned. Harry grabbed the door knob, turned it and we all hurried in. Harry closed the door and I turned around. I had heard stories of how great this room could be, but I never imagined it to be this good. On the floor there was very thick red carpet. On the walls there was the Gryffindor Lion. There was a fireplace and it was already crackling. It was nice and warm in the room. In one corner there were a pile of soft looking gold cushions and in the center of the room there were 2 couches and a coffee table with 5 mugs of steaming hot cocoa on it. I moved to sit down, but Harry put a hand on my shoulder and said "wait." Then he turned to the door, pointed his wand at it and said "Abindor" and then we could hear someone outside talking.
"Where did you learn to do that?" asked Hermione.
"I don't really know, I was just standing here wondering who was walking outside and then that spell came to me."
"Harry" I said
"Yes"
"That Harry was a listening charm."
"Who Harry you just did a listening charm. That is really advanced." Said Hermione who was shocked. "We don't learn that until 7th year.'
"Why not?" asked Harry
"We for starters it is not something the Professors want us doing around the castle. Even though it is a fairly easy charm the Professors don't want us to use that until we go out into the real world." Replied Hermione.
"Where did you learn all that?" asked Ron.
"I read Ronald, something that would do you and Harry here some good."
"Wow, vicious are we?"
"Whatever you want Ronald." Replied Hermione who was beginning to look very pissed of.
"As I was saying." I started to say again. "The counter curse for that spell is Pardorna Letinus."
"Thanks Gina, by the way where did you learn that?" Asked Harry
"Oh, didn't you know Harry, Sirius and our father as well as our mother were the top students in their year, it is only fitting that they passed down some of their knowledge to you before they were killed and Sirius told me most of the other stuff."
"Okay, cool."
Harry was just about to lift his wand to do the counter curse but we heard something.
"Did you find them Professor Snape?"
"No I didn't Mr. Malfoy. Where did you say you heard them again?"
"It was right here Professor."
"Okay, well keep looking for a few more minutes then if not we will head back to the dungeons."
"Put Professor" The boy name Malfoy whined. "We have to find them, I want them to get a years detention for this and 100 points off of Gryffindor for this."
"That will be enough now Draco."
Then we heard another voice. "What are you doing out of bed Mr. Malfoy?"
"McGonagoll" said Hermione in a whisper.
"You don't have to whisper Hermione, you of all people should know that if you have read about listening charms. Only the people that cast it can hear what's going on and not the people that you are listening to."
"Okay Gina."
"20 points from Slytherin for you out wonder the halls-"
"But Professor-"
"Do not even think about But Professoring me. You were caught out of bed. So as well as the 20 points from Slytherin you will have a weeks worth of detentions with me. Meet in my office tomorrow at 6:30 and don't even think about being late."
Just then Snape walked back and said "Is there a problem Professor McGonagoll?"
"Mr. Malfoy here was roaming around after dark in the castle and you know that is not safe with all that is happening with the Chamber of Secrets being-."
At the mention of the Chamber of Secrets McGonagoll's voice got really quiet and then she cut off.
"Mr. Malfoy came and told me that he heard Potter, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger, Ms. Weasley and Ms. Potter laughing and talking out here. He came back to my office and told me that there were students out wandering the hallways and that it was Potter, and his group. They are getting to be worse than those Marauders you know Professor, and they are only in their 2nd year. So Draco was only doing a good deed. He should not be punished, it should be Potter, Potter, Weasley, Weasley and Granger."
"Professor Snape." Said McGonagoll quieter than she was a minute earlier. "Mr. Malfoy was out of bed. I know he was with you right now but how would he have know the Potter and his friends were hear if he wasn't out of bed and wandering the halls. So that is why he as detention and that is why I took points from him. Okay? Now if you don't mind why don't you go back to bed. You were right over my head looking for Potter and his friends and talking and I was trying to sleep. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Professor McGonagoll, come along Draco, I will walk you back to the dungeon."
"O.K. Professor Snape."
We heard footsteps slowly getting farther away, but then we heard someone pacing back and forth in front of the Room of Requirement door.
"Oh No!" said Hermione a little louder than was necessary. " Someone is trying to get in here."
We all turned and then we saw the door knob turn and then-.
