Chapter Twenty Three:

Her first year at Hogwarts was starting to come to an end, which was what prompted the Devil known as Enuma Gremory to confirm an interesting piece of information during the closing weekend of the year before going home. The existence of the Room of Requirement, a mysterious room that magically changed its interior and contents based on what the user needed. Due to finding the idea of the Room of Requirement interesting, Hermione decided to join Enuma in her endeavor to find the room that might be able to serve as a gathering spot for both the current and future members of the Red Duchess's Peerage. While Enuma did ask whether or not her Queen wanted to join her endeavor, Shalltear respectfully declined the offer in favor of doing something else that she would explain later, which Enuma accepted despite how ambiguous the Bloody Valkyrie was about what she was actually going to do.

Once the two Devils searching for the Room of Requirement passed by the required spot for it to appear for the third time, a rather fancy looking door appeared in the nearby wall, confirming that the intel the Gremorys had acquired from… somewhere was true. While neither Enuma nor Hermione hadn't really considered needing anything in particular themselves, the fact that the Room of Requirement was already in use was something that surprised them, more specifically a pair of twins who appeared to be kept in a form of magical stasis. The twins appeared to be a year older than the two Devils. Something that stood out about the twins, more so than their tanned skin and golden hair, was their long and pointy ears, indicating that they weren't human. While both of them looked feminine, it didn't take long for Enuma to notice that the twins were of different genders, which surprised her Knight.

"One of them is a guy? How can you tell?" Asked Hermione her King while looking back and forth between the twins, trying to figure it out herself.

"I happen to know Gasper Vladi." Deadpanned Enuma.

"Who?"

"Rias' Bishop. He's a very shy guy who has the habit of crossdressing. Convincingly. I thought he was a she when I met him for the first time. Anyway, I think Shalltear might be able to help these two wake up. We might have stumbled upon a pair of new recruits."

"Why do you say that?"

"You'll see. Now let me just send Shalltear a quick text about this and I'll explain it once she shows up so I won't have to explain it twice."

"Okay then." Replied Hermione as her King pulled out her phone and sent Shalltear a quick message.
