Connected to the Armour Gallery, the Trophy Room is where all awards, trophies, cups, plates, shields, statues, and medals are put on display behind crystal glass. Dating back centuries are the numerous achievements that have been made by those who've walked within these walls. When the sunlight shines through the windows and hits the glass just right, the items and names within glimmer and shine oh so bright.
Hundreds of names can be read here, ranging from the great Harry Potter, teachers and ministers of the past, many of today's famous Quidditch players, and more. Carefully looking at all of the names on each individual nameplate, some of you just might even find your parents' names here. Feel free to admire and strive to get your name listed somewhere in this room before you graduate. Just don't press your fingers against the glass or think about having a late-night duel here. You will be sitting here every night for detention until each trophy and plaque in sight is polished to perfection if you do.
Gabrielle had learnt that when the library and study rooms were full and you wanted some peace and quiet, the Trophy Room was a good bet. Aside from the few kids who wanted to see awards won by parents and siblings and the like at the beginning of term, she hadn't really seen many people frequent the space. And she could understand why - who cared what had happened in the past, what a bunch of old strangers had done?
Not her, but she did like the empty room. Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the floor, she spread the map of the world out in front of her. Working on her plans for after graduation made her stop worrying about the fact that she might not get to leave at all.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
He had no reason to be in the Trophy Room other than that he wanted to avoid a couple of Alliance Followers upstairs. He'd wait them out for now until he was sure that they were gone. Another reason why he didn't have to be here was because no one in his family had ever been on a trophy before. He knew he had a distant Squib relative but he was the first one in his family to have stepped foot in Hogwarts. And well... He hadn't achieved anything prize worthy as well.
A movement behind him made him look over his shoulder by the door and he was surprised to see someone seated in the middle of room. The movement he had heard was quite possibly from the map she had rolled out.
Wondering what she was doing, Minjae got closer and once he was close to see the map he raised an eyebrow. "Hi. What's that for?" he asked as he pointed at the map.

So absorbed was she in what she was doing, and so unexpected was another person in the room, that Gabrielle didn't notice Minjae's presence until he was asking her a question. And the question practically made her jump to her feet, so prepared was she with the lies that were to roll off her tongue if one of the Alliance had caught her.
Breathing a little sigh of relief and letting out a small titter of laughter, Gabrielle pushed her curls back from her face before offering a shrug up at the boy. "I'm planning on travelling if we - when we get out of here," she said, forcing the correction because she had to be positive. They would graduate. They would leave. They had to. She had a world to see!
"Uh, so I'm just marking everywhere I want to go, and then trying to work out a route to see it all."

His ears turned a bright red color upon seeing Gabrielle get startled by his presence. It happened a few times before and each time the Hufflepuff felt bad for making them scared. No doubt it was because of the Alliance that everyone was so jumpy.
"Sorry , didn't mean to startle you" he said as he lowered down in to a squat, the type where his feet were flat on the ground. He looked at the map displayed on the ground in front of them and thought that her idea of traveling the world was pretty neat. He had never thought about traveling the world after graduating, he was going to take a gap year with Noah and get minjae a girlfriend but it sounded like a fun thing to do. And Merlin's Beard did they need fun after this year. "Are you going alone?" he asked as he looked up at the other seventh year. "Where is the first destination?" he asked as he pointed at Germany "France?"
