 Fluttery Pegasi
Quinn nodded along with Jessa's assessment of the benefits of being alone somberly. She lowered her eyes to a spot along the stone floor for a moment, shifting her weight from foot to foot. No one around to make you question your worth either, she added quietly to herself. Alone you didn't have to worry about being wanted, or being disposable. You didn't have to worry about being confined to the background because it was just you.
Alone was better.
Dead things? Quinn's eyes snapped back up to Jessa, narrowing as they regarded her for a moment. No, she had mentioned the Whomping Willow, so they started dead before Jessa got them. Quinn relaxed a little. Still, the prefect was being evasive as ever about what the experiment was, which only piqued Quinn's interest all the more. She didn't press though, that would be useless anyway. No, Quinn would return to her normal method of learning what the people around her were up to, staying quiet, and watching from the background of things. And she was determined to find out now.
For now, though, she listened with interest at the description of the Room of Requirement, her mind turning the information over constantly, examining it from every possible angle it could. It sounded ideal, a sanctuary from the house and school and people. "Is that it, though? You simply walk the corridors and towers thinking about a room you want, and hope you cross its path? Or is there a trick to finding it with more accuracy?" She was, in fact, planning to search for it that evening after dinner.
