"It's also known as the Come and Go Room. The Room of Requirement only appears when a person has real need of it and is always equipped for the seeker's needs."

Ricardo pushed open the door to the Room of Requirement. For him, it had transformed to a sort of gym, with punching bags hanging beside training dummies for spellwork. Gritting his teeth, he pulled off his sweater and put on gloves. There was a lot he needed to get out at the moment, and he's probably break through a punching bag before te day was out.

Xander stood outside the closed door to the Room of Requirement that had certainly not been there when he first stepped foot on the seventh floor. Was he supposed to knock and then enter? "Sandwich god..." He turned to Giovanni for help. "You go first."

Giovanni carefully pushed open the door. Inside was Ricardo, kicking and hitting at a punching bag. A second one lay on the ground beside him, split open and with sand spilling out. Silently, he waved Xander inside.

He stepped in the room as quietly as he could, almost breaking out in a cold sweat when he spotted the remains of what was a punching bag. Maybe he was a lot angrier than he had originally thought him to be... A hell of a lot more.
"Is he okay?" Xander mouthed to Giovanni, putting more faith in his reflexes than he would prefer to.

Giovanni shrugged. "This is pretty normal for him. Although he doesn't usually break the bags. Let's just wait until he takes a break."

"Isn't this sort of..." He broke off, frowning for a moment whilst he racked his mind for an appropriate description. "Sort of creepy? Just watching him vent like this... Does he know we're here or is he too absorbed to notice?"

"Yeah, probably by now. I think I saw him give us a glance. See, he's done now."
Ricardo gave the punching bag one last kick before turning around, breathing hard.

"So now you guys can er, talk it out." He made to give Giovanni an unhelpful push towards Ricardo, his gaze still subconsciously wandering towards the punching bag that had been well and truly destroyed.

Ricardo pulled on a shirt as Giovanni started to talk, head bowed. Quickly, Ricardo put a hand on his shoulder as the Ravenclaw began to tear up.

Xander felt like he was intruding on a more personal moment, and it showed as he awkwardly tugged at the flying goggles that he had slipped around his neck after landing. Should he leave? He could already feel the heat rising to his face, possibly due to the fact that it was warm in the Room of Requirement which was a more extreme contrast with the frigid temperatures of the school grounds.

Both boys shared a small laugh and turned to Xander. Ricardo rubbed the back of his neck slightly sheepishly. "Sorry you had to see that, man."

"Ah no, it's chill." He smiled the same dorky smile he had plastered across his face on the first day back. "It's good to see that neither of you are thoroughly upset or irritated anymore."

"Well, there's still something bothering me. Who could have spiked the drink? Gio, do you remember anything?"
Giovanni shook his head. "I only remember waking up with the coffee. I thought I had made it while drunk. Wouldn't be the first time."

"It really could have been anyone." Xander frowned, furrowing his brow. "Anyone can get into the Ravenclaw Common Room as long as they can answer whatever that bronze eagle spouts out and it's not like there are any restrictions with who can get into the boy's dorm like with the girls'."

"And it had to be someone who has skill with potions. Or at least, enough skill to steal some."

"Amazingly skilled." Xander agreed with a nod. "The Ministry puts really tight restrictions on the stuff so they're either a potions master or they managed to slip into a teacher's quarters undetected to swipe some."

"And someone with a motive, obviously."
"But I haven't angered anyone, I don't think. Not that I remember, at least."

"Think hard. Is there anyone who could possibly have a grudge on you? Even if it's something really small, I mean, it could have just started out as a small, harmless prank and they didn't intend for you to slip such personal information."
