Showing You the Secret

[Troxa Matthias]

Troxa Matthias had recently made this wonderful discovery. He had found the Room of Requirement! He was slowly earning back Auden’s trust, but right now he was working on more. He had this huge crush on her, and eventually, she would need to know about it. Troxa just did not know how to say it. He was waiting for her to come to the sixth floor, and then he would show her how he found it. He was once looking for a place to study, and he paced the hallway, and suddenly a door appeared. Inside was a really quiet place, and he was able to study. And now he was looking for a good place to tell Auden that he liked her, and figured that she would come along soon enough. The Slytherin waited patiently for her, and hoped that she would arrive soon. He could not wait to tell the Prefect that he really liked her, and he wanted to be with her, as a boyfriend. But one step at a time. He did ruin like, half of her life here at Hogwarts, but he was redeeming himself. He was hoping to really make it work between them. She was amazing, and his dad would even approve because of her family line and her blood status. Troxa did not believe in true love or anything, but it was just the way that she made him feel. She just made him feel and that was just good. Never would he feel like that with someone else. He tried but there was nothing. So here he was, waiting by the sixth floor to show the prefect the most amazing discovery he had ever found in the history of his years in Hogwarts. Troxa messed with his outfit, and hoped that he would be able to really make her impressed with the way he was dressed. She would have to really like the way he looked for him to tell her that he liked her. Auden would really love it too, he knew that she would. This place was amazing.

He could hear some footsteps, and his heartbeat quickly increased in rate. What could he say, she just made him heart beat a bit faster, and formed those butterflies in his stomach. She was in his year, and he knew that one day he would have impressed her with his good work, even in classes. Maybe she would like him as much as he did when she realized just how hard he was trying to get her to approve of him. Troxa grinned when he saw her enter his line of vision. He had to fight himself to run to her to tell her how awesome this day was going to be. He waved to her and as soon as she got in distance, he started to talk, "Hi Auden, really glad you could come. I have something amazing to show you." He looked to the wall where a door should be. He started to pace back and forth in front of the wall, repeating in his mind, 'I need a place to tell Auden something important. I need a place to tell Auden something important. I need a place to tell Auden something important.' And then a door appeared. He grinned like he had won the lottery, and he opened the door to reveal the perfect place. It looked like a lounge, but it looked a lot more comfortable than that. It looked like it had some gauntlets filled with a beverage that both of them liked, maybe, and a plate of cookies. "Welcome to the room of requirement, Auden!"​

 

[Auden Lefevre]

Auden Lefevre was in the middle of a good book about Ancient Greece when she heard someone call her name. Auden knew she needed to stop walking and reading at the same time, so she hoped whomever it was yelling for her, wasn't upset because she had run into them or something. Auden glanced around carefully until she found the owner of the voice. It was Troxa! At first, Auden wanted nothing to do with this boy, but over time she had grown a fondness for him. He was really good to her. "Hi Troxa! You look really chipper today!" He looked really excited for some reason. Like a kid at Christmas time or something. It was almost contagious. Seeing someone in that much of a good mood immediately put Auden in a good mood too. Even despite all of the things that were going on in her life right now. Mostly those including her father and his strange behavior. Apparently one of her relatives had gotten into some trouble with another wizard and the family was becoming very stressed about it. Since it was Danielle, her father needed to be very involved in the welfare of her safety and whatnot, which meant little time for him to check in with Auden. It was times like this that made Auden miss her mother more than anything. It was hard having no mother figure around when she needed one. Auden's father did a decent job taking care of her, but he was certainly not up to date when it came to lady issues and whatnot. But it would seem like Troxa was here to save the day and distract her. She needed a good laugh or something, and Troxa was excited enough to make Auden feel all giddy inside. What did she want to show her?

All of a sudden a large door appeared on the wall. Auden's eyes widened. Was this what he wanted to show her? Auden had never seen someone do a trick like this! "Whoa. Is this some new magic trick or something?" Auden approached the large door only to be stopped when Troxa opened it himself. It kind of looked like a lounge with lots of yummy food and snacks. Auden opened her mouth to ask what this place was, but it would seem that Troxa wanted to beat her to the punch. It was the room of requirement! "Wow Troxa you found the room of requirement? That's so cool!" Auden was in awe. She had heard rumors about this room existing, but this was the first time she had ever seen it, or even knew of someone who had found it. Hoe was Troxa able to find the room? "How did you find this place?" Auden as she surveyed the room carefully. It was so nice looking, and big, but at the same time it was cozy. It was the perfect place for her. Auden was really glad that Troxa had brought her here. He could have shared this with anyone, but no he chose to share it with her. Auden went over to one of the comfy sofa's and flopped down. This sure beat the hell out of reading to get her mind off of things. ​

Troxa saw that she seemed to be as happy to see him as he was happy to see her. Then again he really liked her, and he wanted to share with the world how he felt, but he did not know how. She must love this anyhow. She will have to! "Yeah, I am in one great mood, and it is about time that I get you in the right mood too! Though it already seems like it is working too." Maybe she liked him too, and he hoped that she did. He wanted to be able to share just about everything he could with her. Except the details of his brothers out of fear that he would scare her away. He really did not want to have to do that at all either. Troxa knew little to nothing about her personal life and her troubles with her family. It seemed like they were both hiding their families from each other. Troxa did not even notice this either. He would have if he had paid more attention, but he sadly did not. He just wanted to see her smile, and when he did, he was very pleased and figured himself as the happiest Slytherin to have a wonderful friend like Auden. Troxa saw that she was surprised by the door, and thought that this was new magic. He could not help but snicker a bit at it too. She was so cute, and she did not even know it. He just knew that he wanted to show her this discovery, and it seemed like she was impressed. Now he could really tell her that he liked her! Even the atmosphere could be considered a little romantic too. Troxa took her hand into his own, and then led her into the room where the doors closed and supposedly vanished behind them.

It only lasted a moment when the Slytherin walked over and sat down as well, next to her. Troxa was soon asked on how he found this place. Troxa shrugged and he explained, "Well, I was looking for a quiet place to study, while pacing here and bam, the door appeared. I was really relieved by it too. I got a lot of studying done that day and helped me out greatly." He reached over and grabbed a gauntlet full of pumpkin juice and he took a drink of it. Even thinking about what he was wanting to tell her was just making his mouth dry up a bit out of nervousness. Troxa decided to go on ahead and speak, "So, I wanted to tell you something. Something I have been dying to tell you since my fourth year. I um... I really like..." He faded off and found himself choking up. He took another drink of his juice before he set it to the side, and he scooted over closer to her. He thought that he might as well go on instinct, "You know what? I'm always better at show than tell." Troxa carefully held her hand, and then leaned forward and planted a small kiss upon her lips. He only did that for a moment before he pulled back and he was as red as the Gryffindor colors. Then he started to freak out. What if he ruined their friendship?!​

 

[Auden Lefevre]

Auden was kind of curious as to why he wanted her in a chipper mood. Auden could easily remember back to a time when her mom was alive and her father was always needing to put her into a good mood before he went and asked her something that he thought would upset her. Or whenever he wanted something. Was Troxa attempting to do the same thing to her just now? "Well of course it's already working. Whenever someone's in a good mood, I seem to automatically get the same way. I'm curious though, why do you want me to be in such a good mood?" If it had been years earlier, Auden might have thought that he was going to do it just to make her miserable once again. But things were different now. They had actually become pretty close so she wondered what he had planned. Or if he really did just want to see her be happy, which was even sweeter. Auden couldn't believe that he had actually found the Room of Requirement either. Auden had heard about it existing, but a part of the Hufflepuff girl had thought of it as a myth or something. Auden wondered if they were the first ones to ever see it or not. Likely not since the school had been around for some time and it truly did exist, there were probably plenty of others that needed it for something.

"Wow. I probably would have peed my pants if some weird door just appeared out of nowhere when I thought I needed it most. There are still so many things about magic that just scare the crap out of me." Such as things like Dementors and stuff. As truly wonderful as magic could be, there were so many things that frightened Auden to no end. Auden was in the midst of digging into some treats when Troxa announced that there had been something he wanted to tell her since Fourth Year. Auden lowered the cup of pumpkin juice and stared at Troxa curiously. What did he want to tell her? Auden had an idea that it had something to do about him and her by the way he was turning all red, but she remained quiet and waited patiently, giving him a moment to talk. But a moment when by before he admitted that he was much better at showing rather than telling. Auden opened her mouth to ask what he meant by that, but instead she was greeted with a kiss from him. Wow, she had never been kissed before. Auden blinked and look around. "Is that code for you liking me or something?" Auden knew that she had somewhat of a thing for Troxa, but did he actually like her like that too? After all that teasing, who would have thought that they would be having feelings for one another? What a small but unusual world. ​

 

[Troxa Matthias]

Troxa simply looked at Auden through his amber eyes, and he grinned. She wanted to know why he wanted her in such a good mood. Should he tell her so soon? No, he would make her wait. This secret was theirs now, and he was sure as hell not going to show it to Nikandros, Blaine or Pandora. Of course when his youngest siblings would enter the school, he would be a seventh year. He dreaded that. "Well, I just do. I think that we really connect when we are on the same wave lengths, if that makes any sense whatsoever." Sometimes he said things that would only make sense to him. He also wanted to see her smile too, but he thought that was a given. Things were so different now, and he was thankful for the opportunity to have become so close to Auden. The past few years have been a challenge, but he loved it. He really liked her, enough to show her something like the Room of Requirement. What else could he have done to really tell her how much he liked her? Perhaps go as far as asking her to be his girlfriend. He often wondered if there were other students looking for this room, and if so, they would need to knock before entering. Troxa never liked being interrupted with his time with Auden. Maybe Auden had come across it herself once in the past, but she did not realize what it was.

Auden's statement made Troxa chuckle a bit. It was kind of funny since she was a pure-blood and all, and saying things like that. Then again, he felt the same way. Some things were frightening out there and he did not like it at all. "I would have to agree with you. Some things out there are not that pleasant." Troxa could name a few things, like the Scitorari or something nowadays. It was not pleasant out there. It was one thing that he dreaded when he graduated from school, being out there in the real world. It was really frightening. And for now, he had to wait for her to react to the kiss. It seemed like she was shocked, but he could not really tell. Troxa simply assumed that since he was not slapped, or lectured, that she might have liked it a little bit. She asked if that was code for him liking her and he gave her a grin and a nod. That was definitely code for him liking her and it was about time that she figured that out. With that grin still in place, he said, "Yes, I like you a lot. I would like it more if we were, well, more than friends?" He hoped that she would agree. He did not really appreciate labels that much, but he wanted a good relationship with Auden. She was bright, she was kind, she was definitely the type of woman he dreamed of having. Plus she was gorgeous too, so it really helped.​

"Not all magical things are bad though, you're magical and I find you to be pretty awesome." Auden corrected Troxa. There were other things she found about this world to be beautiful too. Not the things like acromantulas, or the dementors. But there were things like unicorns, fairies, and dragons, and Troxa of course that were quite beautiful. Auden didn't hate magic either. Even if there wee some truly awful things involved with magic, she was sure that there were awful things all over the place. When magic was used for a good purpose, could be quite beautiful and interesting. Sitting next to Troxa, as close as she possibly could while not being on his lap, she slipped her hand into his, linking them together. Auden just hoped that Troxa wouldn't mind her holding his hand. He had kissed her already, so it seemed unlikely that he would though. Auden remembered back when Troxa used to bully her relentlessly. Auden had hated him back then. But now, she really liked him. He was really sweet and he was also good to her in a way that no one else ever had. Not even her own father. Troxa made it seem as if he honestly did care about her well being. "You mean you'd like to be boyfriend and girlfriend? I'd like that." Auden smiled softly and leaned over, slowly to kiss him. This being their second kiss of course. Now it was between a boyfriend and girlfriend instead of friends though. It was cool to see how much they had come along since the day they had first met. Auden was happy that she had met Troxa. Even if it was a rough ride in the beginning.
