"You've done it, Neville." Hermione said in shock as the group stared in shock, "You've found the Room Of Requirements."

"I told you it actually existed." Juliet said as he nudged George with a knowing look, "Tosspop."

He handed her two pounds with a eye roll.

"The what?" Ron asked, pulling Juliet away from his bother with a knowing look, keeping her by his side.

"It's also known as the come and go room." Hermione went on as she glanced back at the pair, "The Room Of Requirements only appears when the person has real need of it. And it's always equipped for the seekers needs."

Juliet stiffed a laugh as a sudden thought went through her mind, Ron paid her no mind as he stood by her side. The pair stood on the same height again today due to Juliets new heels she purchased.

"So, say you really needed the toilet.." Ron trialed off, almost like a question as a silence echoed over them.

"Charming, Ronald." Hermione said with a cringed expression, "But yes, that is the general idea."

"So, if I really needed a tea shop with those little scones, like the ones in London, it would be here?" Juliet spoke as she moved from Ron's side to look around the room, her shoes echoing slightly as she did so, all eyes on the tall Hufflepuff who didn't pay anyone any mind, "Or say I really, really, really needed a new pair of shoes."

"Merlin woman." George spoke with a shake of his head, "How many shoes do you have?"

"Too many, try organizing her closet with her." Ron spoke to his brother with a look of horror flashing across his sea colored eyes. Juliet waved them off as she ran her finger over the dusty mirror, writing her name in it.

"It's brilliant." Harry spoke in astonishment, stare around the room in glee, "It's like Hogwarts wants us to fight back."

Ron got his hand smacked away when he pulled on Juliets glove too hard. He'd gotten into the habit of pulling on it when he got nervous, though he didn't realize he did it rather hard. He hadn't once seen or felt her bare hands, never in the near year they'd been together. It bothered him at times, only because he never understood why Juliet had to be insecure around him of all people, and the fact that he wanted to feel her as much as he could instead of expensive lace.

"Expelliarmus!" Neville shouted toward the statue, failing his attempt to take the wand from the old statue in the corner. Instead, his wand flew from his hand and through the group of students who all ducked. Harry had the group lined up, taking their turns in doing so. Neville sighed hopelessly as he stared at his shoes, "I'm hopeless."

"You're just flourishing your wand too much. Try it like this." Harry said as he rose his wand before him, "Expelliarmus!"

The wand from the statue was removed.

"Easy for you to say." Juliet spoke as everyone turned to look at her, "Not all of us have had advanced learning skills."

Harry waved her forward, encouraging Juliet to come to the front of the group. Her heels clicked as she did so with crossed arms. Harry put a hand on hers, guilting it up toward a pointing position, "You try."

"This is ridiculous, you're so annoying." Juliet rolled her eyes, only making Harry grin, knowing she hadn't meant it. The Potter boy stepped back as Juliets long arm nearly elbowed him in the face, "Expelliarmus!"

Instead of just taking the wand from the statue, she took the whole head.

"Well, there's a better way of doing it." Harry said with a clear of his throat as small giggles echoed through the room, "No need to take a wand if you can execute them."

"She's good like that." Hermione said as she patted Juliets back, "Should have seen her throw those gnomes back at the Burrow."

"Got a real arm on her." Ginny spoke up as well while Harry went to put the head back on the statue.

"Yeah, bit of a stronger grip then needed." Harry nodded before he joined them again, "Whatever you're doing with your wrist, aim a bit lower and don't extend your arm so much. Neville, take after Juliets action, Juliet, take after Nevilles."

Juliet and Neville both nodded before the others began to try, Ron smirked with his arms crossed as Juliet returned, "Show off."

"Twat head."

"Tosspop."

"Wet Blanket."

"Giant."

"Water Buffalo."

"Snollygoster." Ron went back as he pulled her close with a grin.

"Mumsimus." Juliet giggled as she leaned over to kiss him gentle.

"What have relationships turned into?" Dean asked as he stared at the two in confusion and shock.

"Dunno." Seamus answered.

"A Stunning is one of the most useful spells in your arsenal." Harry spoke as he walked along side the groups that split into two, "It's sort of a wizards bread and butter really. So, um, come on then Niguel."

Harry ushered a small, redhead boy forward. Juliet and Ron both patted his shoulders in encouragement as the boy crept forward, eyeing Harry worried, "Give it your best shot."

Juliet squeeze Ron's forearm as she watched the scene before her. Nigel inhaled, "Stupefy!"

Harry flew across the class room and landed with a thud. Juliet sniffed a laugh as Ron nudged her.

"Good." Harry groaned as he sat up, "Good, not bad at all. Juliet, you now."

"Why?" Juliet spoke as she pulled out her wand and traded places with Nigel quickly, "Haven't you been overpowered by me enough today?"

"Because you've got a strong arm, this is most likely your strong suit." Harry said as he rose to his feet with a small limp, "It's not me you'll be practicing on either."

Harry traded placed with non other then George Weasley. Juliet had to laugh.

"George." Ron warned his brother with a knowing look his way, "Don't you hurt her."

"I'm not the one you should be worried about." Juliet said as she cleared her throat and looked at a feared George, taking her stands.

"No bad blood, right, Julietty?" he asked hopefully, rocking on his heels slightly.

"Course not." Juliet spoke sweetly, "Just the time you called me a horribly dancer. STUPEFY!"

George let out a howl as he flew across the room, much faster and farther then Harry did. Juliet shut her eyes in the process of him flying, wishing for a large and soft bed, needing it horribly bad. One appeared just as George fell, landing softly as he sighed in relief, putting a hand on his heart.

"He didn't deserve that." Fred said to her, "Should have let him fall on the floor."

Juliet took notice of Ginny whispered to one of the Hufflepuffs knowingly.

"Using the advantages of the room, I like that, good job Juliet." Harry praised her as he patted her shoulder and encouraged Ron to step forward.

"Good luck, Lover Boy." Juliet spoke when she noticed Hermione step forward as well, "I adore you, but my money is not on you."

"Love the encouraging words from my girlfriend." Ron said sarcastically as Juliet stood where he was, nudging Fred and making a price.

"Come on, Ron!" Fred encouraged his brother, as did George.

"Hermione." Juliet spoke knowingly toward the girl, "Go ease on him, hes delicate."

"I am not!" Ron flushed.

"Well aware." Hermione laughed as she took a breath, "Stupefy!"

Ron let out a shriek as he flew across the room just like Harry did, landing in the same spot. Juliet cringed as she took the money from Fred before walking over toward her lover, "Delicate."

"I am not delicate." Ron whimpered as Juliet helped him up and pushed his hair out of his face, "In pain though."

"Aw, my poor baby." Juliet teased as she pampered him while Ron tried to shove her off in embarrassment.

Ron insisted he needed a bath in the Prefects bathroom, whining for it even. Juliet sat on the steps as he did so, shutting her eyes as he filled it with bubbles and got in. When he let her know it was okay to open her eyes she did, looking down at the textbook with her back leaned against the bathtub.

"You know.." Juliet trailed off, not knowing if she should tell him yet, "Summerby thinks I should audition for the quidditch team."

Ron giggled as he looked at her in adoration, "Try out, Jules, not audition."

"Think i'd be any good?" Juliet spoke as she rested her head against the tub, "When Cedric was the captain he never let me audition because he said it was too dangerous and brutal."

"I agree." Ron nodded his head, "Too dangerous."

"You don't think i'm tough enough?" Juliet asked with a look of disbelief his way, her dark brows knitted together in annoyance.

"I think you're plenty tough, probably the toughest they'd ever have." Ron said with a nod, her hard face falling to a much softer one, "Just don't want you getting hurt or dying."

Juliet had to laugh, "Dying?"

"Yes." Ron said seriously, his voice cracking in the process, "You could fall off your broom, get hung up in your uniform."

Juliet laughed again, more so at the fact that Ron looked extremely serious right now, "I think I can manage, besides, gotta live on his legacy, right?"

Ron knew better then to argue on it anymore, not with the topic suddenly being so touchy. He put some of the bubbles on her nose from over the bathtub, "You'll do great."

Juliet smiled as she gazed at him, rubbing her hand on his face before looking back down at her text book.

She was destined to become Hufflepuffs next quidditch captain, not for just herself and the glory, but for Cedric.
