You're searching the castle for a mysterious room you have heard of called The Room of Requirement. You have searched every nick and cranny of the castle but still no room. You climb the stairs to the seventh floor and come across a stange tapestry showing Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls to dance the ballet. You laugh at the silly tapestry until you side almost burst. Then you remember hearing the Room is located opposite such a tapestry. You turn around expecting to see a door, but find a blank wall instead. You start walking back and forth three times concentrating hard on what it is you need. Suddenly a door appears. You open it and discover you have found the Room of Requirement...

Inside the Room of Requirement she felt quite safe. She knew that no one could come in since she was there, or at least not for any other purpose. The room was filled with what she was picturing. There were mirrors lining the length of the walls, and bars, and posters, and shoes. Ballet shoes. She smiled, and took off her clothes to reveal the leotard she was wearing underneath. Thought she was pureblood, she took a particular interest in ballet and her father had told her of the Room of Requirement as a place where she could practice whilst at school. She walked over to where there were a few mats bunched together and began to stretch. After stretching, she went to the shelf which a radio stood on and tapped it with her wand. Somehow, she knew that that would make it work. It began to play the music that she was practicing for the recital back at home. She smiled and walked into the center of the room, facing the mirrors, and practiced her routine. Too bad it was all for nothing. She would miss the recital.

It seemed like it was a long time since Raven had been to the Room of Requirement and last term, the room had brought it's share of amusement and drama to her but she hoped that nothing like that had happened this term. She headed into the room and noticed that it was set up for her to practice dancing and playing guitar which was not her real reason for being there but she would use the room as it was set up, turning the stereo on which belted out a techno song with the perfect beat; she pulled the hood of her camoflague hoodie up and began dancing, keeping on the rhythm of the song without a problem.

Even though her natural curiosity was trying to make her follow her urge to investigate the castle, Grayson had remembered the message from Diagon Alley. The secret message between her and Raven. So exploration was going to have to wait, and besides, being up on the seventh floor when they were all supposed to be heading to common rooms and stuff was better. Gave her an easy excuse if anyone caught her and asked what she was doing. And she could always explore later, since she imagined she'd have time before classes got really started.

Draco still in her pocket, occasionally sticking his little white furry head out to see what was going on, Grayson split off from a group headed for the Ravenclaw common room and headed down the corridor until she saw Raven up ahead. Slipping through a doorway, and she sped up to slip inside after her quietly. Watching as the older girl looked at the surroundings, then decided to dance, she realized her arrival hadn't been noticed and therefore she sat on the floor to wait for the song to finish before saying anything. "That's different than the bagpipes," she commented finally, hoping she wasn't about to interrupt. She was supposed to meet her, right? To find out the plan.

Raven slowly did a handstand then spun a little bit on her head, it didn't hurt as much any more seeing as she was used to it by now but she immediately had a flashback to when she first tried to spin on her head and fell over with a thud; that sent a shiver down her spine everytime she thought about that. Once the song ended, she got back onto her feet and lowered her hood which was exactly when she noticed Grayson on the floor.

"Well I thought that I would go back to breakdancing as I used to at my old school but enough of that, it's time to get right down to business." She smirked slightly and took off the camo hoodie, tossing it on the floor for the time being before taking several blue folded pieces of paper out of the back pocket of her jeans.

Taking one of the papers, she slowly unfolded it to it's full size which ended up being about the size of a detailed map. "Alright, this might look a little daunting but it's relatively basic; in a nutshell the plan is to have a classic water balloon prank. It's just a little more advanced.. instead of water, it's balloons filled with paint."

Grayson just looked at Raven curiously as she stopped dancing, then spoke about her old school. She'd never known anyone who could breakdance before, which was strange if you considered she'd grown up around Muggles. She just had always been more fascinated by the Wizarding world, not to mention her pranks. But she grinned as the topic went to what they were there for. "Cool."

Eyeing the papers Raven took out of her pocket, she shifted to move closer and ended up having to move Draco to her shoulder, where he promptly took up his usual position of curled around her neck, so he wouldn't fall out of her pocket. But back to the plans. Craning her neck to look at the page, she grinned again as water balloons were mentioned. "Well, I'm definitely in. Water balloons are one of my strong points, and paint would be way more interesting. What kind of paint? And where are we doing this?" Her interest was piqued, as well as she didn't know why she hadn't thought of the paint idea before. It would have been awesome to turn her brother crazy colors via water balloon. Maybe she'd have to try that next summer.

A little mew was heard coming from behind the stereo and Raven looked then raised her eyebrow as slowly she noticed Bludger walk out then sat right in front of her. "What are you doing here you silly cat." she said then picked him up and rested him in her lap for the time being, he purred slightly as Raven had moved him then finally fell asleep. He must have followed her into the Room of Requirement since the last place she saw him was in the dorm.

When Grayson asked about the paint, she grinned and took out several examples of what she had tested earlier. "Well we've got a couple of choices here, the pink paint is very sticky like glue, the orange paint is good for staining people's hair and last but not least.. the red paint, now this is my favourite, this paint smells a little like rotten eggs and is very easy to get stuck to your skin." She really didn't care about which paint was picked, they all were good but she'd make sure there was special balloons filled with all 3 paints. "Hmm.. outside would be the smartest option but that's too easy, I was thinking.. ohh around the 1st Floor Corridor; plenty of students use that corridor to attend classes; it's perfect." The only situation was that was where her Head of House, Professor Truebridge had taught DADA.

Grayson's attention was distracted by the sound of a mew coming from in the room,and she'd carefully rested a hand on her ferret as a kitten made its appearance and proceeded to fall asleep in Raven's lap. It was adorable, but she was wary of animals being around her own pet. She wasn't sure of cat/ferret relationships, that was for sure. But Draco seemed like he hadn't even noticed the kitten, so she let herself go back to the plotting that was going on.

As it seemed Raven was ready for everything, Grayson grinned. "I think all three should be used. Then people won't know what to prepare for." Sticky paint, stains, or stinky paint. They were all too tempting, and her grin turned even more mischievous at the argument over location. "Outside is good, if you consider things like my ability of climbing trees," she commented. not to mention how her size helped her hide in the trees. "But the corridor would mean they wouldn't have as many escape possibilities." And they didn't want people avoiding the pranks. She didn't even consider the fact classes meant professors. It wasn't important in her mind, considering she had faith she could get out of whatever trouble.

Maddie walked three times in front of the door.
'I need a place to practice my music' she said aloud. Then she pushed open the door, and gasped. There was a grand piano, and a microphone on top for her to sing into. She just hoped the room was soundprof - she didn't want anyone to her her yet. Not yet. She sat at the piano and began to play - Alicia Keys' New York. She sang along softly, and when she had finished started on one of her own songs.
'Maybe if you see, you will find i''m no good for you and your no good for me.
Life is no different through the glass; through the glass. It just magnifies the problems. Take it away and maybe you'll see the truth.
The days go by every year and nothing happens, the grass stays green the sky stays blue.. But then i found you, maybe i should forget you maybe not .. Though when you smile i light up inside...
Life is no different through the glass; through the glass. It just magnifies the problems. Take it away and maybe you'll find the truth.
Holding on to your hand ; i feel strong inside, please dont let go never ever let go ,let me be for a while your my magnifying glass .. Showing me what could be..' she finished, and started on another song. She could stay here forever, she thought.
'Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you

Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around'

Selena made sure no one was following her. Last time she had been discovered. She didn't want to be again. She walked past the room of requirement. 'I need a place no one will find me, filled with instruments...' Selena thought carefully, 'make it soundproof as well...' Selena thought silently as the door opened for her. She walked inside and smiled.

The first thing she saw was the piano, then the variety of string instruments and woodwind. She picked up a delicate flute, it looked exactly like the one she had at home. She let her fingers fly over the keys as she played from memory Canon in D

Bludger opened his eyes slightly to notice a ferret and meowed at it, there was no was he would let this animal possibly harm his owner; getting up from Raven's lap, he pounced from her lap and charged immediately at the ferret. Raven noticed what her cat was doing and her eyes bugged out of her head, there was no way that she was going to allow her cat to hurt Grayson's ferret now; picking him up and holding him in her arms.

"Sorry about Bludger, he tends to get a little aggressive with other animals in the room." It felt odd that she was apoligizing for her kitten who just seemed so sweet. But as she heard Grayson's comment on the pain, a grin was etched across her lips; she was becoming impressed by her partner in crime seeing as she was almost as devious as Raven was. "I definitely like that idea, it will cause a lot more damage but that's even better." She just imagined how amusing the people would look if they were hit by the balloons, covered in pink, orange and red paint. "Exactly, best thing about having this plan in the corridor is that you don't even need to be in the vicinity to make it work." Clever spellwork would definitely help them in this case and it was a definite advantage that Raven had practiced over the summer.

Sapphyre passed by the blank wall once, twice, thrice, as she had known Professor Kaz to, and listened as she door appeared. She walked forward to it, feeling the ground before her with her walking cane. Pushing open the doors, she smiled and blinked. She couldn't see, but she knew everything was dark in this place. Here... everyone would be on the same plane she was. Blindness.

Trixie walked past the painting of the troll ballet and passed the wall three times. She had been told about this place by Ella and decided to give it a visit. Upon entering the room it was dark, but luckily vegetarian Trixie had eaten her carrots and her night time vision was slightly more defined then it usually was so that she could see her way around. But the first thing she noticed was a figure near by. She coughed for her announcement. "Err...Hello?" she called out.

Phyre turned as she heard someone in the dark. Was this a real person, or someone that the room had made up for her...? "Hello," she replied simply, smiling. "Who is it...?"

Trixie smiled as she recieved an answer. "Trixie. Trixie Malfoy. Fifth year Slytherin" she announced proudly and wondered over to the girl. This is when she noticed that she was carrying a walking stick and it dawned on her that this girl must have been blind "And you are?"

As the kitten cracked an eye open and then immediately meowed, Grayson's protective hand over Draco closed a bit, only to flinch as the ferret noticed the kitten charging and scrabbled to hide better under her hair, digging his little claws into her neck. But as Raven grabbed her kitten, then apologized, she managed a bit of an awkward shrug. It was hard with Draco huddled behind her neck. "It happens. Kind of why I keep Draco with me, though. As opposed to leaving him in the dorm with all the other pets." At least there wasn't a problem with Ruby, back at home. Oddly the puppy seemed wary of her little bitty ferret.

But as Raven grinned in response to her comment about the paint, she relaxed as she smiled back. Carefully detaching Draco and trying to slip him back into her robe pocket, her expression turned mischievous again. "Well, that's the whole point, isn't it? I mean if we were worried about damage, we would have just used water, right? Paint is much more interesting," she said. Actually, she wondered if any of the other students would end up enjoying it. She sat back a little as the idea of them not being out in the open came out. Safer, definitely. "I can levitate stuff," she said idly, "It wouldn't be hard to learn more spells, to use." She was a quick study. It scared her uncle sometimes, how quickly she'd picked things up during their lessons, but then that could be because he worried abotu what she'd use on her brother. Summers were going to be less fun now, if she had to stop using magic outside of school.

"Sapphyre Black," Phyre responded. "Second year Slytherin... Hogwart's resident blind girl. I prefer Phyre, though." She sighed and turned to the voice. "I don't remember another Malfoy being in Slytherin. Did you transfer...?"

Amy walked into the, what is this place, she murmered as she looked around the empty place, it was like heaven, it was everything she wanted, there was models and cameras and tripods, and a sofa, and a piano, and a dance barre. She looked around and decided to try the piano, she walked over to the beautiful, black master piano and sat on the velevet piano seat, she ran her fingers over the ivory keys, and closed her eyes as the magical instrument made a sound. She started to play from ear, and began to sing in a clear voice, like a bell, Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up, high, she humed the melody as she sang the song, dreaming of the perfect life here theres aa land, that I heard of once in a lullaby, she carried on singing the song, in the quiet, empty, peacefull room

"What is this place?" he said as a door that wouldnt open, "Amy?" he said. He texted her to come outside.

As long as he needs mee, oh yes he- Amy felt her phone vibrate,

come outside. Jay.x

Amy dragged herself away from the beautiful piano and the room of her dreams and moved to the door, she pulled it open, hey Jay, she said, kissing him and giving him a hug, when she saw him, ohmigod, there is the most amazing room next door come on, she said, pulling him inside the room, showing him the amazing piano that she coveted after

Trixie nodded but then realised Sapphyre wouldnt be able to see her. "Oh.." she replied smiling slightly. "That's nice...I mean tragic..I mean, oh you know what I mean" she replied in a bit of a fluster. What do you say when you find out someone is blind? "Sapphyre? Like the gem?" she asked. "Yeah I am. Just transfered from Beauxbatons" she said with the signature flick of the hair.

"Wow!" he said. "I gotta go very soon." he said frowning.

Hmm, well, make it quick then, can you play? she asked him as she danced over to the piano, sitting down back on the plush piano stool and gesturing for him to sit

"Not piano. Only Drums and Guitar." he replied.

well then, can you sing? she asked playing You'll never walk alone from memory
