Who: Tom and Minnie
Where: the room of requirement, I'm guessing.
When: eight o clock

Minnie stood in front of the tapestry at eight o clock sharp, never one to be late. As much as Tom freaked her out, she was still incredibly intrigued by him. He was charming for some reason, and he had this way of making you think he could read your mind. It was unnerving, but fascinating. Minnie was always hesitant to get to know him better, however, since there was something about him that didn't seem right.

Of course, that feeling obviously didn't extend to her learning more about the castle. And she figured if he tried anything, she'd be fine. She could take care of herself, after all.

While Tom was not the sort of person who was tardy, he felt that being late was necessary for this particular type of gathering. Minerva had said he was mysterious, infuriatingly so, and he had to maintain that image now, didn't he? He smiled slowly as he walked up behind her five minutes late, and as he got closer to her, he let his fingers rest lightly on her elbow.

"Hello, Minerva," He said pleasantly, dropping his hand and putting it into his pocket. He stared up at the tapestry, as though truly interested in it, and turned to her.

"Interesting tapestry, isn't it? Barnabas the Barmy. He tried to train trolls to perform in a ballet. Trolls. Ridiculous."

A shiver ran down Minnie's spine when she felt Tom's hand on her elbow. She turned slowly on her heel to face him. "Tom," she nodded. She felt as though she might vomit. But probably not. It was always hard to tell, when Tom was around.

"I can't imagine it was terribly successful," she said wryly. "Why would you risk getting stepped on by a troll just to watch a ballet?" She looked at him out of the corner of her eye and grinned, despite how nervous she was.

He laughed and shrugged, turning around to face to opposite wall, which was simply brick. "That, love, is a very good question. I don't think it was a success, but somehow he managed to make it onto the wall of the greatest wizarding school in history, so he must have done something right."

Looking to his left and then his right, he checked to see if there were any unwanted visitors lurking around. Satisfied that it was just the two of them, he turned to her, and grinned slyly.

"So, are you ready to see this mysterious place i've been speaking of?"

	Minnie somehow managed to avoid retching when he called her 'love.' It was just so strange and creepy hearing it from his mouth, in his voice. It was not pleasant. "Would you like to be on the walls of Hogwarts, Tom?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Of course I am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He shrugged, turning back to look at the tapestry, then looking back at the empty wall. He contemplated his answer for a moment, letting her wonder, and spoke rather matter-of-factly. "I'd like to think I'll be able to do something that would give them a good reason to put me up there," he paused, looking at her, "but it'd be a little embarrassing, to be honest."

Tom smiled, a little wickedly. "Good. Close your eyes, then."

	That sounded hopeful to Minnie, like perhaps he wouldn't turn out to be evil, just because he was in Slytherin. She smiled at him politely, not knowing quite how to answer. She laughed nervously and closed her eyes, against her better judgment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A small smirked played on Tom's face as he briefly thought of all the things he wanted to do to make himself worthy of being in Hogwarts. He shook his head, turning his attention back to the stone wall. He began to pace; walking once towards the right, then turning around and walking the opposite direction, and then turning back again, thinking hard about a pleasant room where two could sit and chat. When he looked at the wall again, he saw it; a tall metal door with intricate designs had formed in the wall where previously, there had been nothing. He smirked, then gently tapped Minnie on the shoulder, letting his fingers linger a little longer than he should have.

“Look.”

	Minnie opened her eyes and gasped, not just at his fingers still on her shoulder (which was creeping her out), but at the giant, magnificent door. She walked forward, reaching out to touch it. "Where does it lead?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
