Default Room of Requirement


Found on the seventh floor is a secret room known as the Room of Requirement or the Come and Go Room. This particular room is famous for transforming itself into whatever the witch or wizard that finds it needs at that moment in time. While many may have heard of this room, properly finding it is no easy task. Most come across it without even knowing during moments of great need and are unable to find it again.

However, those that are attentive to detail will remember that the hidden entrance to this enchanted room can be found opposite of the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy. Simply locate this depiction of a man attempting to teach trolls in pink tutus how to do the ballet and walk past it three times, clearly thinking about what you need. After a few moments, a door will appear and allow you entrance inside whatever room you desire at that moment in time. Just keep in mind that the room has its limitations -- you, unfortunately, won't be finding any food in here.

JT stood on the seventh floor next to the tapestry of Barnabus the Barmy in the early saturday afternoon, and waited for a certain spectacled eaglette to arrive. He had sent Iris a note to come there the other day when he had got everything for their date organized. He had a satchel full of food and drink, a board game or two, some question cards, and well he was in an awfully good mood.

JT had at first not thrown his name into the date basket that had showed up in the snake den some month's ago, but had changed his mind last minute. He was now pleased that he had done so since he got to spend even more one on one time with Iris. He was as his daddy had put it smitten by the interesting blonde from the house of the eagles and hopefully she felt the same about him.

Iris had spent far too much time fretting over what to wear. She had never given this much thought to her appearance before and it was incredibly unlike herself to do so. Normally, she dressed for practicality, for comfort, for the ability to sit cross-legged on the library floor for hours without feeling like she was being strangled by corset-like fashion trends. But today? Today was different. Witch Weekly's invitation had insisted on "dressing to impress," and though she knew, logically, that a piece of enchanted parchment had no real authority over her, she had still found herself agonizing in front of the mirror for over an hour while also actively seeking the approval and advice of her dormmates. Skirts had been tried and discarded. Dresses, blouses, shoes... Circe she had nearly lost her mind. And then there was the issue of her glasses.

Not stylish, someone or something had whispered in her head, as if Witch Weekly itself had peered into her wardrobe and judged her unworthy. A bare face is timeless. She had read entire tomes on how beauty standards were arbitrary, yet here she was, squinting her way to her date in some frantic attempt to be desirable and objectively attractive. The blonde wasn't even sure how she had ended up in this situation. She knew she hadn't signed up for Witch Weekly’s matchmaking event ... which meant… someone else had done it for her. Her dormmates, no doubt. The same ones who constantly teased her about how utterly oblivious she could be when it came to people liking her or sometimes even told her to her face how unfortunate she was. It hadn't ever bothered her before...and yet it was some of their voices that, in a moment of sheer panic, had her leaving them behind - her glasses. The very thing that allowed her to see properly. Now, everything beyond a certain distance was just a bit too blurry, a bit too hazy, like a dream she hadn’t quite woken up from.

It was ridiculous, really, and she was having second, third, and fourth hand embarrassment for herself.

Still, the damage was done, and here she was, climbing the last few steps to the seventh floor. A part of her still expected it to be some grand misunderstanding, that maybe the parchment had glitched and chosen her at random. It really would have served her better to consider it like any other Hogsmeade outing, and yet the very word date demanded a whole new consideration - which lead her to wear something neither on trend nor off, but certainly more like she had thrown herself into her closet and then stumbled out of it. Tada, at least she wasn't in her pajamas?

Still a ways down the corridor, Iris could make out someone standing near one of the tapestries but neither precisely who it was nor what tapestry to clue her in to whether or not she was, finally, in the correct section of the castle. Eventually she could, blessedly, make out JT standing near the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy, looking as relaxed as ever, a satchel slung over his shoulder, and - was he smiling? Like this was completely normal? A slow realization crept over her. JT had signed up for this of his own free will and volition. Which meant-

"Ooooh..."

Her lips parted slightly, thoughts whirling at a breakneck pace, but she barely had time to process any of them before instinct took over. She could not let her nerves show - not that she could see if they did or not. So instead, she forced herself to slip into something light, something easy, and something that didn’t betray the way her heart was hammering in her chest.

"Hi....JT. It is you, right?" she inquired, squinting.

"Hi....JT. It is you, right?" she inquired, squinting.
JT had put on a nice white dress up shirt, and black dress pants, but he still had his snake pin pinned to his chest for luck for the DATE with big letters. Witch Weekley's instructions had been direct, and well he hadn't wanted to make a fool of himself so he had dressed up even though his dorm mates had laughed, and teased as he had fretted over clothes as much as the location, and what they were going to do. What JT had settled on in the end he was comfortable with that both he, and his date would like or at least that was what he hoped.

Standing next to the Barnabus tapestry as time flied he began to fret over the possibility that he might get stood up, that his date didn't want to be his date. Other random thoughts swirled around in his head, none exactly calming so he was immensly pleased when Iris came into view in the corridor, but where on earth were her glasses? JT secretly adored those glasses they were cute and made Iris who she was.

Meeting Iris halfway as his heart started to beat hard along with his pulse for some reason in his chest JT held out a hand for Iris to take if she needed him to steady her. "Hi Iris. Yes, it's me JT. You look beautiful! That skirt looks so sunny. Is everything all right? You haven't fallen or anything on the way up here have you? Where are your glasses?"

Iris had spent far too much time analyzing every possible scenario before arriving here, but somehow, none of them had accounted for JT looking quite so… polished while out of his school uniform. For reasons she wasn’t yet prepared to examine, his attention to detail sent an unfamiliar flutter through her chest.

Her glasses. Right. That had been a choice. A foolish, reactionary choice based on Witch Weekly's arbitrary beauty standards and her subconscious succumbing to peer pressure. The loss of clarity was proving to be more of an inconvenience than she had anticipated - especially now, when she wanted to take in every detail. She took his hand, mostly to stabilize herself, though the warmth of it threw her momentarily off balance in a different way.

"No, I didn't fall," she assured him quickly, "though my depth perception has certainly suffered." She exhaled, shaking her head at herself. "I made the objectively poor decision based on third party information. It was illogical, and I regret it." Her fingers twitched slightly in his, her brain already working to redirect the focus. "You dressed up." The words were more of an observation than anything, but there was a note of something else... something quieter... beneath them. It was a deliberate choice, just like her own, but pragmatically far more successful in execution - even if he had called her beautiful. She hesitated for only a moment before adding, "You look handsome." A factual statement, but one that carried weight nonetheless.
