Disclaimer : I do not own Harry Potter.
It was a spaced out Harry Potter that greeted the sight fellow students of Hogwarts the next morning. He was still thinking about the possibilities the room had presented to him. He had yet to check out the room, so he hurriedly ate his breakfast and got up. He hurriedly went up to the seventh floor, to the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy, teaching ballet to the trolls. He wondered why the trolls hadn't crushed the idiot.
He simply stood there, marvelling the simple wall that hid in plain sight.
'Well, here goes nothing.' He mentally said.
He started to walk down the hallway in front of the hall while thinking, 'I need a place to help me with my problems regarding contracts...I need a place of peace and quite...I need a place to help me train'
As soon as he had thought the last part, a door materialized in the middle of the wall. It was simple, non-descript door. He slowly made his way to the door and turned the doorknob. The door clicked open. He opened the door and his jaw hit the floor.
It was a very homely place. There were bay windows directly in front of him, from which sunlight streamed in. There was a grand office desk in front of the windows. All around the desk were bookcases, which contained hundreds of books. He looked towards the right and saw a door. As soon as he stepped inside, the door behind him closed and vanished.
'Huh, must be the room' He thought.
He then went on to check the room. What he saw amazed him. There was a duelling platform. At the left he saw a wall covered in weapons and directly opposite to it he saw dummies.
He then left the room and entered the library. He marvelled at the books that were in there. The books looked positively ancient. He gingery too out one book, the cover was like skin and had blotches of red thing on it. The title was Praecepta de venatione, it was written by a Robert de Linef. When he saw the year it was published, he nearly dropped the book. It was 1062. If he were to sell it, it would fetch quite a price!
"If only I had a way to stop time and had a easy way cram it all in my head..." he muttered it, while checking the title's. There was a thud and he turned around to see what it was. There was two book resting on the desk.
He went and checked the title; one was The Impenetrable Fortress, Your Mind. Salazar Slytherin.
The other one was, Wage a war or slow the time. Uses of Room of Providence. Helga Hufflepuff.
"Merlin!" He swore.
The books awed him. Everyone knew that none of the books that the founders had written survived. Everybody thought they were within their vaults. Inaccessible to everyone, but the current Lord of their House.
He decided to check one thing out. He said aloud, "Why these books? I can understand the book about the uses of this room but about the mind?"
A blackboard appeared out of nowhere and words suddenly stared to form on it.
You had requested a way to 'cram all this' into your head. Well, the book about the mind is about that. It teaches you about Occluemensy. It is a technique, with which you organize your thought, your memories, your brain functions. It can prevent a Legilimens from accessing one's thoughts and feelings, or influencing them.
"Legilimens?"
A person who can invade your thoughts, can read your memories, erase them, and control you.
"Um, so can you slow down the time?"
Yes, I can make it slow. For every one hour outside the room, six months will pass on inside.
Harry gasped. It was amazing. He cast tempus, the time was 08:34 AM.
"Um, can you slow down the time, now?" As soon as he said it he felt a huge, by huge he meant humungous, amount of power circle him and then dissipate around.
"Did you slow it down?"
Yes, the time has been slowed down.
Harry started to dance around like crazy. "Yes! Yes! I'm not going to die in this blasted tournament! YIPEE!" He danced for about ten minutes.
"Ok, ok... Now I need to start Occluemency, yes Occluemency.."
"Can you give a couch here?"
SO! Did you like it? Please review if you like it, and if you don not like it, then also you are welcome to review. I am always happy with constructive criticism.
I would recommend the story Harry Potter and The Veela by Z-Bond.
