[RoR] Creating Mischief

[Christine McKenzie]

The Room of Requirement had never failed Chris before and as she walked past the room for a third time, trying to think of what it was she really needed, Chris spied out of her corner of her eye, a door that appeared out of the wall. Grinning to herself, she stepped inside and saw the something that she needed all laid out in a not so neat way, but still in a fairly good way that people would be able to find what they needed.

Jars of potions ingredients lined the back of the wall, some of them rare and some of them just your ordinary, everyday potion ingredients. Unicorn hair, unicorn horns, runespoor, herbs, different kind of powders, feathers. Everything that one needed to experiment a Potion on, or everything one needed to muck around and just come up with some kind of new potion. On the other side of the wall, there were books with every kind of Potion in them that was known to wizard. It was nearly better than the Potion book shelf in the Castle's library, nearly.

In the middle of the room, set a couple or so cauldrons, water all ready them in bubbling away waiting for the first ingredient to go into it with a splash or a sizzle. Chris had no idea what she was intending to do with the things in front of her, but she knew it wasn't going to be something to do with her Potions class. Oh no, today was going to be about fun. Fun in the name of making new potions to mess with people. Walking over to the wall that occupied the potion ingredients, Chris took one off the shelves, entitled: "Potions and How To Make A New One" Book in hand, Chris wandered over to soft leather sofa that were in the room as well, where she opened the book up and started to read some of the new Potions that were inside.

"Gwah!"

She stumbled in surprise and for a moment or two, made frantic hand motions. The contents of whatever she was holding went skittering across the floor: some ancient library books crawling here and here and a few shimmering quills. What had caused her to give a mild shriek was that she had run into a door that had clearly popped out of nowhere.

Poor thing! Here she was, going about and thinking when next to study and such, when the half-open door had thwacked her in the face. Someone had swung it open, and Jin (slightly dazed from the hit) felt the abrupt urge to find out who. . .

The shuffling of heavy books attracted more of Jin's attention as she neatly stepped inside- the door behind her, for the moment, vanished at her heels. Rustling pages and a sigh of cloth turned her eyes towards a brunette girl lounging with a rather nicely bound hardcover. She looked real pretty and peaceful, for the time being. Then our character was reminded of the task at hand.

Jin rubbed a hand over the sore spot on her head. "My apologies for interruption, but you've interrupted me! What is this. . . " She trailed off and forgot about her library books still flipping around beyond the magic door for the entire room was a dazzling collection of its own! Potions, novels, non-novels, more informatory tomes and whatnot brilliantly stocked in tidy arrays caught her eyes until they spun. She attempted repeating, "What. . . is this place?

Obviously, Jin was sort of new to most of Hogwarts.

As Chris was getting deeper into her book she heard a loud thud. She quickly looked behind her book to see a girl standing against the wall with books all by her feet. She seemed to be rubbing her head. Which could explain the loud noise she heared. Tey girl spoke to her "My apologies for interruption, but you've interrupted me! What is this. . . " Chris looked at her with shocked for not know this is the Room of Requirement. But then Chris realized that she could have been new or something. " Oh its the Room of Requirement." Chris spoke up sofetly.

Chris just looked at her with a puzzled face wondering why she never saw her before. "Oh you should sit down." Chris sat up and made room for she can sit. "So what made you think of a place like this? Because the only way you were able to be in here you must of been thinking about either potions or books." Chris said curiously.

Looking around the room seeing how much of a mess it was with all the books scattered all over the place. Chris took out her wand and started to place the books on the tables and shelves neatly. Making a path for the girl to sit. Chris looked back at her, "Oh my name is Christine but everyone just calls me Chris." she said with a small grin. Noticing she was also a Slytherin maybe she can help her make a potion to mess with people.

Jin was flabbergasted. Room of Requirement? This academy held strong to the weirdest rumors ever. She had only heard about such a spontaneous room. . .

"So what made you think of a place like this?" said the girl.

"Ah, well, ah. . . I wanted to trace back my ancestry, and see if Hogwarts had any books on the subject." She gave a nervous laugh but seemed at ease enough. And, well, the chaise was rather comfortable. The number of books were overwhelming, but an enormous cache of potions attracted her main attention.

She nodded as Chris introduced herself, and replied with her own nomenclature: "I'm Jin," said she while sitting down beside the acquaintance. Her eyes went back to the funny-looking potions and whimsies. Something sparked inside her. Jin made a calm hand motion towards the flasks, "So, ah, are you gonna use any of those?" She fancied that Chris had a mischievous hint to her voice as well.
