Jez's wand flew out of her hand a split second before she was hit by Nate's powerful Stupefy. She collapsed immediately, blacking out for a few seconds. When she came to, she was looking up at Nate, and her head was throbbing from where she'd hit it on the floor. "You win," she admitted, sitting up and pressing her hand to her head, wincing. "That's going to leave a mark." Another duel, another scar ... heh, that could be a good motto. "Well done," she added, smiling. "The chess pieces have taught you well."
Nate couldn't help but smile as he helped Jez get up. "Accio wand," he said, and Jez's wand flew into his outstretched hand. He handed the wand to its owner, and closed his eyes for a moment, imagining the room as it was when he walked in.
Nate started walking back towards the door of the room as the dueling platform beneath him and Jez sank back into the floor. "Come on, Pam's probably looking for us!" he said, beckoning to Jez.

Nate started walking back towards the door of the room as the dueling platform beneath him and Jez sank back into the floor. "Come on, Pam's probably looking for us!" he said, beckoning to Jez.
Jez nodded. "Probably." She tapped Nate on the shoulder like they were playing a game of tag. "Beat you to the common room!" She ran out of the room, glancing over her shoulder to make sure Nate was keeping up. She had forgotten about Team Wolf and their dangers for the moment.
As Zephania entered the room it took awhile for his eyes to be accustomed to the low light. It appeared to be a very small cosy version of the Ravenclaw common room, with the only light coming from the embers of a dying fire. Good, he thought, not enough light to read by so I can not use this spare period to prepare for Herbology as he sank into the most comfortable chair he had ever sat in. He only had time to take a couple of deep breaths to ease his tension of trying so hard to please, when a large yellow cat jumped into his lap and started to purr. Zephania was immediately so comfortable and relaxed that he immediately thought that he might sleep right through his next class in just over an hour when a large grandfather clock started to chime. Well, he thought, that would certainly awaken me if I doze off, and he reached down to scratch behind the cat's ears and said,"And how are you today?"
Zephania was startled when a voice from a chair across the room replied "Just fine, thank you for asking".
Pam walked into the room, still wearing the purple dress. The three of them were planning on having a party, but she wasn't sure if it would help. On her way over, she couldn't help but think about the things that had gone on. The letters everyone had recieved. Not to mention the one from Jared that she hadn't told either Jez nor Nate about. But they didn't need to know about that one. Or the ones that were sure to follow.
Pam had wanted a party room. And a party room was given. Balloons were floating around the room, whilst streamers were hung everywhere. A table had been set up with drinks and some snacks, while the majority of the room was a dance floor. The room was dim, but a light shined on a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. This made the image of stars dancing across the room.

Nate paced, slightly irritated, outside of the Room of Requirement. Pam had locked him out, and he had no clue what Jez was taking so long doing. I need for Pam to hear me when I knock. I need for Pam to hear me when I knock. I need for Pam to hear me when I knock, he thought decisively as he walked back and forth three times across the empty stretch of wall. Finally, a door popped up, but Nate knew better than to open it. If he opened it, he wouldn't get to Pam. After all, that wasn't what he had asked for. He had asked for her to hear him knock, so the knocking was absolutely necessary.
*THUMP THUMP THUMP*
Nate pounded on the door, hoping that he didn't freak Pam out too much. A little was fine, but it was otherwise a bad idea to scare Pam. Pam held grudges, even when she didn't mean to.

Pam jumped slightly at the sound of a big knock. Confused, she walked over to the doors, and pushed them open. It was a little difficult, them being big heavy doors and all, but she eventually got them open. "Nate!" She said with a smile. Her smile quickly faded when she realized that she left him outside. "Sorry about that. I forgot you were behind me. I was lost in my own little world."

The box was so big and heavy that halfway up the staircase in the Entrance Hall Jez had put it down and used a Hover Charm instead. She'd somehow managed to get it safely to the seventh floor without knocking it on any walls or dropping it - not even when a staircase moved unexpectantly. Finally, Jez came to the Room of Requirement and opened the door, smiling. "Hey!" she said cheerfully, hurrying over to the table and putting her box on it. "Look what I've got!" She opened the lid to reveal a cake, filled icing piping bags and a variety of Muggle sweets. "It wouldn't be a party without the cake, would it?" she asked, smiling proudly. "The house-elves in the kitchen couldn't do enough to help - they even offered to ice it in Ravenclaw colours! But I thought it would be more fun to do it ourselves." She looked at her friends expectantly, waiting for their responses.
Okay, so they had them three, a cake, and a room. What else was missing? "Oh, right. Creo Musica!" Nate said, filling the room with music that one couldn't help but dance to. "Alright, here we go!" he added animatedly, whipping out his wand. Time to dress this cake!
He had forgotten that he himself was still underdressed for this occasion...
Pam started to saw in time to the music. She was glad he had picked a muggle song. And a song she knew well. Humming along, she grabbed a piping bag full of pink icing, and started icing the cake. Then she got an idea. Putting a little icing on her finger, she tapped Jez and Nate, both, on the nose. She giggled as she saw the pale pink icing on their noses.

Jez grinned at her friends, rubbing her nose. Pink icing! She picked up the yellow icing bag and dabbed Pam on the nose. "Revenge," she giggled, then looked at Nate, noticing he had his wand out. "Uh-uh, no wands," she said, gently moving it back towards his pocket. "Let's pretend it's a Muggle Studies class." No magic. There was something she had to tell them too ... "I've never actually done this before," she admitted, blushing. "Decorate a cake. My parent never let me near the kitchen, let alone an undecorated cake." Jerks.
Speaking of decoration ... "Nate, you are severely underdressed for this occasion." Jez closed her eyes, and a door that looked suspiciously like one to a wardrobe appeared in the wall. "Go on," she said, nudging Nate towards it. "Impress us." Like he had with the music ... this band was great! Close to Green Day in Jez's favourites. Close, but not quite as awesome.

Pam giggled as a dab of yellow icing was put on her nose. She tried to lick it off, but realized that she couldn't actually touch her tounge to her nose. So, instead, she got it off with her finger, and licked it off that way. Yum! She thought. "I've never done this either. My mom was the cook in my family, and my dad never really liked cakes. So we never really found a reason to make one."
Looking over to the closet-like door, she smiled. "But Jez! How can he top this?" She said, making a motion between the two of them. She was joking, of course. Nate can make a clown suit look good. Maybe.
Laughing, Nate fell through the door of the wardrobe and it snapped shut behind him. Within the confines of the surprisingly large wooden closet, he could see no clothes around him. This meant that it was up to his own imagination.
When it came to clothes, Nate had no creativity whatsoever. He didn't want to wear a black suit, that was too plain, but the only other thing he could come up with was the same outfit he had worn to Muggle Studies. And wearing that would be monotonous. So he turned to the next thing he could.
"Hey, girls!" he yelled from inside the wardrobe, "I'm not very clever with this. How about you decide what I wear? Just... Don't make me look like an idiot!" That would be blatantly unacceptable, and would warrant a duel.

"Are you sure you trust us with this difficult task?" called Jez, her voice as mischievous as her smile. "Close your eyes, and don't open them until we say so!" Just as a precaution, Jez told the Room (in her head, obviously) to extinguish any light in the closet.
Putting Nate in a really bad outfit was very tempting indeed. So tempting in fact that Jez might actually give in to it. But she had a master plan, and the first part involved this rather nice coat. And while she was on that wavelength, why not try these shoes. Basically, Jez was working on the Doctor Who fandom here. "Room," she said, addressing the closet door for some reason. "You know what I'm thinking." She certainly hoped it did ... She glanced at Pam. "I did a coat and shoes," she whispered, cupping her hand around her friend's ear so Nate wouldn't be able to eavesdrop. "Your turn." Heh, keep it coming.

Don't trust us? Lame! Pam picks such great outfits!

Pam thought long and hard about what he should wear. Her cheeks turned red as she thought. But eventually, she came yup with a blue suit, and, of course, a red bowtie. She mentally wished for the outfit to appear in front of Nate. "See how you like that." She said, trying to contain her giggles. Looking over at Jez she said, "Let's hope this works." She wasn't quite sure how well two completly different people would coordinate a good outfit without consulting eachother, but she trusted Jez's judgement.
Nate's eyes were still clamped shut when he felt his shoes grow up his ankles, his robe get heavier and more shaped, and finally what he knew could only be a suit wrap around his body from nowhere, complete with tie. When he opened his eyes and looked down, he sighed a little. He had worn the blue suit to Muggle Studies, but the trench coat and bow tie were new, and what was with those shoes?!
"Who did these?" he asked with a smile on his face, the two Whovian hi-tops dangling by their laces from Nate's left hand. They were a bit much. "Sorry, I can't keep these..." He pulled his wand out and pointed it at the shoes, imagining his usual red lo-tops. "...Reverto!" Sure, the spell wasn't necessary in the Room of Reqrement, but it was good for Nate to know that he knew that spell. He put the shoes on, tying the now checkerboard laces quickly, and stood up. "So, let's get this show on the road! Starting with a new song..." The first one was over anyway.

Jez grinned at Nate as he came out to show the world. "Basically, it's you all over," she summarised. She wished he'd kept the shoes - the whole point of this was to stay in the outfit his friends had carefully picked, however weird, unsuitable or downright stupid it might be. But whatever, she didn't really mind.
She decided to pick the song before anyone else could. "Novo Musica!" The silence that had momentarily occupied the room after the last song finished was taken over by Jez's song. She grinned, dancing to it by herself. Simple Plan was definitely on her favourites. This party could do with something else, she thought. Immediately a large bouncy castle appeared in the corner. Jez stared at it, having never seen one before. "Um, what are we supposed to do with that?" she asked, nonplussed. She went over to it and prodded it, jumping back like a startled hippogriff as it shook. Tentatively, she climbed on and gave an experimental jump-step. The castle bounced her up into the air and she shrieked, landing in a heap. Okay, let's try that again. She got up and bounced again, keeping her balance as she came back down and bounced up again. She laughed, looking over at Nate and Pam. "This is fun!" Muggles were so good at making cool stuff ...

Which was quite awkward since she was in a skirt, but she didn't care. "Nate! You need to get in on this!"

Alyssa walked in and was amazed at what she saw. There was a room with four walls but there was no ceiling. Alyssa had got what she asked for. A place where she could look at the stars and be able to see it without anything blocking her view.
Knowing that she didn't have much time, Alyssa quickly unslung the bag from her shoulder and unzipped the bag, taking out the case containing her telescope. She quickly removed it, unfolded and set it up. She had already decided what she was going to be looking for. She had refered to her Star Reference Guide and was looking for the Constellation Andromeda. Today was November 10th which was the best time to see it. So she quickly adjusted the viewfinder and sharpened her view by taking out her wand and tapping the telescope, she said, "Lens Focalis". Looking through the lens, the stars seemed so much brighter.
Alyssa slowly scanned the stars looking for the formation of the Constellation, and then she saw it. It was a beautiful sight to behold. Right up in the sky, so near that Alyssa felt that she could reach out and touch it, was the Constellation Andromeda. From her reference guide, Andromeda, represented the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, the king and queen of Ethiopia. She was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to the sea monster Cetus and was saved by Perseus when he turned Cetus to stone by using the dismembered head of the Medusa.
Now that was a romantic story and Alyssa would have loved to read more about it, but she knew that she was running out of time. She quickly noted down the location of the Constellation in her journal.
Text Cut: Alyssa's Star Guide Journal
Date: September 15th Time: 9 p.m. Constellation: Delfinus Other Name: The Dolphin Coordinates: 20h 42m 00s, +13° 48' 00" Area: 189 sq. degrees (69th) Declination: 13.82 degrees Quadrant: NQ4 Visible at Latitudes: between +90° and −70°. Best visible: 21:00 (9 p.m.)
Date: September 28th Time: 9 p.m. Constellation: Capricornus Other Name: The Sea Goat Coordinates: 21h 00m 00s, -20° 00' 00" Area: 414 sq. degrees (40th) Declination: -20-23 degrees Quadrant: SQ4 Visible at latitudes: between +60° and −90°. Best visible: 21:00 (9 p.m.)
Date: October 10th Time: 9 p.m. Constellation: Aquarius Other Name: The Sea Goat Coordinates: 23h 00m 00s, -15° 00' 00" Area: 980 sq. degrees (10th) Declination: -20-23 degrees Quadrant: SQ4 Visible at latitudes: between +60° and −90°. Best visible: 21:00 (9 p.m.)
Date:October 20th Time: 9 p.m. Constellation: Pegasus Other Name: The Winged Horse Coordinates: 23h 00m 00s, +20° 00' 00" Area: 1121 sq. degrees (7th) Declination:19.53 degrees Quadrant: NQ4 Visible at latitudes: between +90° and −60° Best visible: 21:00 (9 p.m.)
Date: November 10th Constellation: Andromeda Other Name: The Chained Lady Coordinates: 1h 00m 00s, +40° 00' 00" Area: 722 sq. degrees (19th) Declination: 38.54 degrees Quadrant: NQ1 Visible at Latitudes: between +90° and −40° Best visible: 21:00 (9 p.m.)
After noting it all down in her journal, Alyssa looked through the viewfinder one more time, before she decided to pack it in for the night. She folded up her telescope and placed it safely back into it's case before zipping it up in it's carrying case which she slung back over her shoulder.
Before Alyssa left the Room of Requirements, she looked up into the skies above her and promised herself that she would return here again one day.

No sooner had Pam spoke than Nate was sprinting over to the bouncy castle. Luckily, with his shoes tied to hastily, it was easy to undo them and toss them on the ground beside the bouncy castle as he did a dive roll into the open maw of the wibbly structure. "This was a good idea!" he called out, being bounced up by not only his own weight but, on a few bounces, the weight of the girls as well, which would send him flying--not to forget flailing--through the air to land sloppily on his back. He wasn't worried about the suit or trench coat getting messed up at all. They were just cool to be wearing, especially on a bounce house!

Jez laughed as her friends joined her on the bouncy castle. "This is amazing!" she said between giggles. "I wish I'd had this before!" Than and Keegan would have loved it. Jez quickly realised that bouncing in time with the others would make either them or her bounce higher, which usually resulted in her flying out of control. She bounced against the sides of the castle, hanging on for a moment before pushing off it and bouncing back - only to be bounced straight off the castle. A shock-absorbant mat appeared beneath her just as she was about to hit the stone floor. Jez looked up at the castle, folding her arms. "Not fair," she said sternly.
"Sorry," said a sheepish voice that seemed to come from the bouncy castle itself. Jez stared at it, then up at Nate and Pam.
"Do huge rubber castles usually apologise, or was that the fun finally catching up with me?"
Evelyn stared. She just couldn't stop staring because the room was exactly the way she imagined it to be! Who would have believed it?
"Wow.." She whispered as she looked at the balloons, the magnificent fireplace, the lightings, the couches..amazing. She suddenly realized that Marcelo was still standing behind when she hurriedly walked a couple of steps before she took a bow and said, "Welcome to my Paradise."
Evelyn grinned before she turned to admire the room again. This was so exciting!

Pam paused for a moment, not sure of where the sound came from. "I didn't say that." She said. But she shrugged and continued bouncing around. She loved bouncy castles. Her mother wouldn't ever let her have one for her birthday. She was afraid Pam and Nate would end up climbing to the roof and try to jump in it. Which was true of course. But she never really admitted that to her mom. She just continued to giggle at the happy memories that came to her mind.

Nate's laughter at Jez's apparent inability to stay on the bouncy castle was cut short by an embarrassed sounding voice. "Erm..." Nate stammered, looking towards where the voice had come from: beneath his feet. "I think it was the castle, Jez!" he called.
"Oh, yes. It was me..." said the same sheepish voice that had apologized to Jez.
"Okay, that's weird!" Nate said, a huge smile emerging on his lips. "But cool!"

Adam walked into the room of requirement to find it completely filled with punching bags, those rubber molds of human bodies that you could practice kicking on, along with some weights and other work out supplies. Adam was sporting a pair of sweat pants and a tee-shirt, figuring that this was a good outfit to wear when trying to teach someone how to kick and punch and other methods of defending one's self. Walking over to the one side of the room where a couple of water bottles and towels had been placed, Adam picked up a bottle and took a swig. He hoped Louisa remembered exactly what he told her to think of because if she didn't he was concerned they may not end up in the right room....

Louisa had memorized what she was supposed to 'ask' the room to be over and over again. Being able to get in there was going to be tricky. The door didn't show up for several minutes as she tried over and over again. It was then that she knew the room was occupied, hopefully by Adam.

... and as if she was transferred from Hogwarts to.. some kind of martial arts school. The girl walked in with a smile forming on her face. "Wow. It's very intimidating." What with all the mannequins and rubber mats? Oh! There were bottles of water as well! Cute. "Hey, teacher, how's it going?" Louisa playfully punched his arm. Acting tough and all. Hehe.
"You like my outfit?" Back to being a girl, Louisa smiled brightly spreading her arms. She'd picked this top and shorts especially for the occasion.
