"Just walk, concentrate and you shouldn't have too many problems. I wouldn't go thinking TOO much about it though, no need for that pressure." Didn't help anything and wasn't necessary.

Yes, the Room of Requirement had come in handy on the odd occasion. She didn't need it nearly as often as most others did but it served its purpose well enough when she did.

"Start out simple maybe, then work your way up to the more lavish settings. Get your mind used to finding it." A little practice never hurt.

"There's also a to of secret passages and abandoned classrooms you might stumble on. I'd tell you where they are but that'd defeat the purpose of exploration and I wouldn't go robbing you of that." The castle was large and almost maze like at times. Taking a walk around every now and then to get a better working knowledge base for it was just common sense and those who already knew where everything was were less inclined to go learning.

Quinn shook her head absently, just once.
A tiny little gesture designed to sweep the hair out of her face.
Her eyes were distant, dancing with thought as she sifted through Jessa's words and instructions. For just a brief moment, she wondered if this was a trick. Actually, she couldn't be sure either way, and if it were a trick designed to humiliate her, it wasn't a very good one. Somehow, a Ravenclaw girl walking around the 7th floor corridors in thought didn't seem that humiliating or even out of place, to be honest.

Either way, it was worth checking out.

Quinn snapped her eyes back on Jessa. "Thank you."

She perked up slightly more and gave another little shake of her head to clear her face of hair. She knew the rumors, of course, that Hogwarts had plenty of secrets and passages, and while she hadn't doubted them, it was different hearing it directly from your prefect. It made it all more real than abstract, and she was suddenly very curious of what hidden jewels was Hogwarts hiding; and more importantly, what hidden jewels enticing enough for Jessa to dangle them like a carrot in front of her. Something seemed to suggest in Quinn that if Jessa had found those secrets to be dull and lackluster, she wouldn't have thought to mention them.

Quinn glanced around the Trophy room as if searching for the possibility of a secret passage in here, then she raised her violin back to her chin and hesitated. The desire to play just wasn't there anymore, swept away from all the questions and curious wonderings the talk of the Room of Requirement and all Hogwarts' other secrets had driven into her.

She lowered her violin again, glanced around once more, and then returned it to its case. "I think I am going to explore a bit." Quinn slipped the case into a bag that looked entirely to small for it to fit in, closed the bag and slung it over her shoulder. "Thank you again, and...good luck on that experiment I suppose."
