Rosalyn was stalking Malfoy again. She was in the common room alone, as Ron and Harry were doing homework in the library and Hermione was in class as she was taking way more subjects than Rosalyn, Harry or Ron.

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." She tapped the map and watched Hogwarts blossom across it. She saw that Draco Malfoy was in the Slytherin common room, however, and not up to any shenanigans tonight.

But no- suddenly, Malfoy's dot moved from the common room and started to go towards the seventh floor. I knew it, Rosalyn thought gleefully.

She watched it go up... hoping for something to happen... it was on the seventh floor now... then it disappeared.

Rosalyn pursed her lips and decided. She was going to follow Malfoy up to the seventh floor and see where he was going.

After a quick trip up to the dorm (which was empty) to get the invisibility cloak, Rosalyn set off. She walked quickly and with purpose. She was determined, she was going to catch Malfoy at it.

When she got to the seventh floor, she looked at the map again. The dot Rosalyn Potter was on the map, right near where he normally disappeared, but Draco Malfoy was not present.

Think, Rosie told herself, think. He normally walks forward into it and disappears right here. So where does he go?

Rosalyn looked up. What was on the other side of that wall?

The room of requirement. Of course. Of course. Rosalyn didn't know why she hadn't seen it before. Malfoy was going into the room of requirement.

But why?

Rosalyn tried to get into the room of requirement to answer this question. For the next hour or so, she tried everything.

I need the place you become for Draco Malfoy...

I need to know where Malfoy's going and what he's doing...

I need the place Malfoy goes...

I need where Draco Malfoy is hiding...

I need to see what Draco Malfoy's doing right now...

Nothing worked. She couldn't get in. She was frustrated at this, but she had expected it.

At least I know where he's going now, Rosalyn thought as she walked, defeated, back to the common room.

"Rosie? Rosie! Rosie!"

Rosalyn and Hermione were sitting, chatting in the common room, chatting together. Rosalyn had told her her new and recent discovery. Hermione had rolled her eyes, telling her that she still had no proof that Malfoy was a death eater.

"Not yet, Hermione, not yet."

That was until Harry decided to ruin the fun, running down from the dormitory quickly.

"Rosie, come with me!" He said quickly, panting.

Rosalyn furrowed her brows. "Harry what in Godric's name is going on-?"

"Long story," Harry told her. "But Ron- I don't know what's happened to him."

"Is he alright?" Rosalyn asked, but she could have sworn that Hermione had said this too in a small, quiet voice.

"Yes- well, no, but it's not like his life is in danger, it's just that he's acting- odd," Harry told them.

"Isn't he always?" Rosalyn asked, and Hermione sniggered slightly, still not inclined to laugh because of who they were talking about.
