A/N: the song in the last chapter was from wicked and is called "I'm not that girl". The song in this chapter is called "Dancing through life" and is also from wicked the Broadway musical. I'm sorry that it is moving slowly, but it will pick up soon!!

Over the next few days Hermione tried to find the room full of the stone statues. She finally retraced her steps from where she had left the sickening couple. She tried running, walking, and ever other type of movement past the place where she remember the door being. Nothing worked. She couldn't find it anywhere and went nuts. She was sure that she could have another dreamless sleep if she could just find the room. She missed breakfast and was five minutes late for ancient runes trying to find the mysterious room.

Her lessons were blurs of thoughts of Ron and of the room where the stone statues had stood. In my imagination they came to life and I saw them start to dance a slow monotonous dance.

I wish the drones of our single ghost teacher could have informed me of the door. But no, it was about the peace treaty with the centaurs in the 1800's. I stopped listening halfway through the first five minutes. Now it was all I could do to pretend to look interested.

The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong lessons
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
and learn to live the unexamined life

When class was over I packed my things up quickly and made my way out of the room without "forgetting" my notes the way I usually did after class so Ron wouldn't fail. No, today was different and new. Today I was going to forget about that boy once and for all.

I changed my route from the once normal stretch to the dormitories, and from the now normal exotic lunges past the hidden statue room, and instead made my way to the kitchens.

As I opened the door I was grabbed around the ankles and almost fell onto my back. I looked down to see an elf wearing a pair of children's soccer shorts with a woman's bathing suit top and a un-matching pair of what, for him, were knee socks. I suppressed a laugh and smiled brightly, "Hey Dobby."

Dobby jumped up brightly, "Dobby knew you would come, he just knew it. Dobby had been looking for the friend of Harry Potter's, oh yes he had! He had looked in the common room a million times, but Dobby did not give up! Now I found you! I have a message from Mr. Harry Potter that he said I must give you. He says," Dobby's voice dropped to a whisper, "Not to believe the wheezy, and to keep trying!"

Dobby gave a triumphant look as he finished this. I felt exasperated. I couldn't escape him anywhere! I come for a moments rest and I get messages from Harry! I decided Harry must not know that Ron really liked Cypress better. He must have given dobby the message a couple days ago.

I had more important things on my mind though, "Dobby, do you know about a room that disappears, but it isn't the room of requirement? It's full of statues, and it's completely stone."

Dobby looked thoughtful for a minute before jumping up and shouting like he had sat down on a hot burner, "Harry Potter's friend speaks of the room of requirement! You just do not realize that when you require it to be somewhere else it will be! Enter it the same way you usually would!"

Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through

As I ran from the kitchens I felt light as air! I could get in again! I leaped my way to the corridor and walked past the place I had entered before three times repeating that I needed it to become the place It did for me last time and when I opened my eyes there was the door!

I grabbed the handle and swung the door open. I was elated! The room sat before me! It was Gorgeous and filled, as ever, with statues. I drank in the musty silence and elegant statues. I began to walk around the room and explore the crevices that held statues. I found a window that shown out onto the quidditch pitch and another onto the lake.

I had made it to the room I had tried to find forever! I had made it and I felt my heart beat a couple times faster than it had before. I wondered out loud if I could get a place to lie down and maybe some nice music. Instantly a couch covered in fluffy pillows appeared and music began to play. The music was the music to The Nutcracker, a gorgeous muggle ballet. I began to dance to it, making up my own steps and twirling and striding around the room.

Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught-less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you wear less
Trouble and rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life

Then I regretted dancing so soon, and not putting a spell on the door, because just then the door opened and a head popped in. I looked at the fiery red hair and tear- strewn face and fainted.

A/N: sorry if the chapter was slow. I promise the next one is right back on track. Hope you all like RW/HG!
