And there he was. He had read enough about the school to know what this place was. Th Come And Go Room. The Room Of Requirement. Either way, this place was perfect. It wasn't much at the moment, he hadn't needed much. He just needed a plan. It was hard to plan revenge on a little monkey. "Perhaps I could... No, to simple... Maybe, no. That's a bit to cruel..." Anything he thought up was, no good. He didn't want to hurt little Izzie, he just wanted to shake her up a bit.

Was it evil to plan revenge on a monkey? Answer: No. Not if you're dealing with Izzie at least...

Katie had seen the newest gryffy walking into the room of requirment and thought she'd go say hi. As she walked in she saw him talking to himself. "Hey im Katie, what ya up to?" she asked looking amussed, she loved people who talked to themsleves, always a good source of enetertainment when your bored.

Ray looked up with, not a startled look, but one of almost annoyance. Quickly as he could though he exchanged it for a somewhat pleasant smile. "Uuh, hello..." He said, with a nod to show he heard her say her name. "I'm A... I'm Ray." Normally he would have said his whole name, Alexander-Ray Mahoney, but it was beginning to get tiresome. "And I am plotting revenge on my monkey."

Katie looked strangley at the newbie as he had an almost annoyed look but it quickly dissapeared and she smiled pleasently when she heard ray introduce himself. "Cool name. Ah yes... the old plot revenge on your monkey." She said with a smile as she nodded her head. "ah actually your going to have to explain this one to me... But if your interested i'd um love to help i haven't had much to do lately.

Ray gave a laugh when she said he needed to explain and nodded for a moment. "I have this pet monkey named Izzie. She's a little devil at the best of times, not to mention when the little thing gets annoyed... Then she's just an insane little thing. I woke up this morning to clothes from various people's wardrobes strung from the roof of my dorm like a hammock and little Izzie was asleep inside it." Ray laughed slightly. "I'd hate to see what happens when everybody realizes their missing shirts..."

Katie listned to Rays explanation of why he need revenge on a monkey. When he finished she laughed a little and said "Oh so thats where my t-shirt is..."she trailed off as she thought about how to best get revenge on a monkey. Summoning some cushions she got herself comftable on the floor and invited alex to sit as well. "So what have you got so far. I suggest not to cruel, wouldn't want the animal protection authorities chasing us down. No, so i say humerous with a you pull a stunt like this ill come back ten times worse sorta feel."

"I suppose so." He said, almost laughing when she did. "My monkey has a fetish." This time Ray did laugh. Izzie didn't really have a fetish, she was a monkey... What was to help? He heard her say nothing cruel and he nodded. "That's what I'm trying to figure out. Everything I come up with is either cruel or nothing. If it's cruel it's not good and if it's nothing then it's much to simple and she'll just look at me oddly before going back to laying in her shirt hammock."

Ray gave a shrug to say he couldn't think of anything. "This place is bringing me down a bit. I mean, it's a great place, but... I can't think here..." That was hard. Ray was a thinker at heart. That and considering the fact that Lex himself was surprised when he didn't get into Ravenclaw, well, it was tolling on him.

Katie was stumped. There wasn't a single thing she could think of that wouldf work to the needs of Ray. She heard Ray say that this place was bringing him down and she remembered how she had felt out of place when she had first arrived at hogwarts, not that she ever told anyone. "Alright then if you cant think here why dont you make the room reperesent a place where you feel most comftable and can think." she suggested.

Ray chuckled slightly. "It would be a good idea, but I think it's just that. The fact that the room can be whatever one wishes of it." Lex moved as if he were about to shrug and then another laugh came out. "It can be whatever one wants, anything one needs, but yet I chose to think inside a room without windows. A dreary little space. That's a bit laughable isn't it?" He said. "Maybe it's just the timing... Damn monkey..." He said. Lex gave another laugh. Wow, he was sort of laughy that day. "Sorry..." Ray said in apology to the fact that he was talking and laughing to himself.

Katie listened to what Ray had to say and well she wished she could help him feel more comftable, but she realised that it was just something that was going to take time. "Nah, what are you apologizing for i love laughing and people who talk to themselves are awesome." she said as he started to apologize then said. "I like to believe that its not a sign of madness rather a..." she paused laughed a little as she realised she had nothing to finish this with, then continued. "Well a sign of well lets just say its a good thing." she said laughing slightly.

"Alright then let's forget about the plan for a sec. We dont seem to be getting anywhere and well you interest me." She said getting more comftable on the pillows. "So do you mind if i ask you few qustions?" she said with a friendly smile.

"Muggle doctors say it's a sign of good health to talk to yourself. But it all depends on what your saying." He said giving explanation to the words she had said. "If one is talking about, murder and anything along the lines of sketchy, then they're declared insane. But anything normal well... It just sounds weird. To the one saying it at least."

Usually, Ray would have immediately said no to this. He wasn't usually one to answer questions, but today he was feeling generous. "Go ahead. Just know that there are some things I'm not willing to answer." It wasn't that he had a particularly horrible past, it was just that he didn't know this girl all that well and he wasn't one to trust people completely right upon meeting.

Ray went in to a way better explanation of what she had been trying to say. "Exactly what i was trying to say, without the muggle doctor bit though..." In his reply to her request to ask him a few questions he said there were somethings he wouldn't answer. This made Katie curious but she respected the fact that it was his life and they didn't really now each other well. "Alright then, dont worry nothing to personal, just one or two brief questions then we'll get right back to planning revenge on lizzie. First question where'd you grow up?" It was a pretty normal, boring question but Katie loved hearing about where people grew up.

"On earth." He said simply. "I didn't really grow up in any one place... We were constantly on the move. My mum is a dragon tamer." He said with a smile. He was quite proud of her actually. She was a little woman with a little wand, big robes, and a gigantic heart that kept huge dragons in line as they journeyed places.

"Lol" Katie said when Ray simply said he had grown up on earth. Then he told her about ho they had moved alot and that his mum was a dragon tamer. "Wow, thats so cool." Katie said. That explains a bit katie thought as well. But then again she could be wrong. "So did you ever learn some of the tricks of the trade from your mum?" She asked with a smile. She had never met a dragon tamer or someone realated to one and thought this was as good na oppurtinuity as any to learn about them.

Sabrina walked into the ROR and saw Ray and a girl she had sen somewhere else before. Her name was Katie, she thought.

abrina looked at them both and said, "Who's talking about dragons now?' she grinned.

Katie waved at Sabrina as she walked in. "Ray was just about to tell me about his mother the dragon tamer." she said with a smile. "So come on spit it out." she added looking in his direction as she did so.

Ray's eyes clicked over to Sabrina when she entered and he nodded to show that he saw her. Then he was being pushed into the nothingness of an explanation. So he put his smile back on and gave a small shrug. "We've got a few dragons at home now that I take care of... Sally's my favorite. For a mother dragon, she sure is sweet..." Lex trailed off and looked out a window that had just appeared in the room. "Want to see her?" He asked in a vaguely serious tone.

Sabrina walked in and sat down on a couch that appeared out of nowhere.
"Dragon tamer huh? Sounds interesting... and of course I want to see!' she replied happily.
"whereabouts can we go see one?" she looked around an d wondered how in the world they would be able to go see dragons...

Rex offered to show them to one of his dragons. "Ohmigod yes please i'd love to see a dragon." Katie said. the easily excitable child in her appearing very quickly and taking over. Sabrina asked whereabouts they were going to see this dragon. "Ah yeah how are you planning on doing this?" she asked still excited but thing that if he bought a dragon into hogwarts some trouble would most likely arise.
