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.

It was raining, which was quite unfortunate seeing as Zoryn had planned to sunbathe all weekend. The Prefect's bathroom could provide her with just as much relaxation, but Maxton Carden was a sour!lemon!head and didn't give her the password. Which meant, Zoryn had to get slightly more creative. Not that being creative was a problem, this Gryffindor was PACKED with ideas.

Some riskier than others.

Ahem.

Coming to the conclusion that the Room of Requirement was the only place that could provide her the solace she needed, the Gryffindor made her way to the seventh floor (not to far from the Common Room, another bonus) and began pacing past the wall. When the door appeared, the seventh year slipped inside to be met with sunshine and BEACH.

Perfect.

Perfect.
Some days Derf found himself thinking he would rather take on an inferius than the day itself. Today was one of those days.

Finding his usual places of seclusion occupied and Professor Wayland holding a first year class in the barns - meaning he couldn't even roll around in the hay with his creatures for comfort - the Hufflepuff had to find other means of occupying himself. The prefect's bathroom was somewhere he needed to desperately avoid now too...so his mud covered shoes dragged the rest of his weary body up to the seventh floor and towards the vacant wall that would reveal the Room of Requirement to him.

Know what he missed? The beach. Specifically the one his grandparents lived near in Australia, but a magically manifested generic beach would do just fine.

He was surprised when the entrance appeared so quickly, almost as if it were already prepared for his needs. Not thinking much about it and honestly just looking for an escape to sort out his thoughts, he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

......and then he found that he was not alone in the room on this beach and his heart both leaped and shriveled at once. Zoryn hadn't even so much as LOOKED at him since Charms class and it had destroyed him a little each time she purposefully ignored him. But he certainly wasn't daft enough to force his presence on her when she clearly had come here to be alone, you know?

"Uh...right...sorry...I'll just..." he muttered as he spun around on spot to walk right back OUT the door...only the seams to it had vanished...and there was nothing but enchanted blue before him.

Fudgesticks.

Fudgesticks.
It had been all of two minutes of peace before she heard someone else trudging their stupid feet onto HER beach. Was the room of requirement broken or was everything at this school useless???

Whatever it was, Zoryn was fully prepared to turn around and yell at whoever barged in on HER beach time. She had already taken off her shoes, and had also gotten here first. So they'd have to be the one to leave. She was prepared to use force (and also her teeth) if necessary. She was a biter, fyi.

Only, when she turned around to yell at the intruder she noticed it was Derfael (a name which hadn't graced her thoughts in ages now, thnx). And instead of feeling rage, she felt nothing. Because she had erased him. Definitively. Looking at him was like looking at any other stranger. He did nothing for her.

"I'm not breaking any rules by being here so you can go find someone else to snitch on," only when she said it, her voice was flat. There wasn't any edge to it at all. And when she looked at him? Well, it wasn't exactly looking at him. She was looking past him, almost as if she was speaking to the empty blue behind his head.

And yes, she had yet to realize that he couldn't actually physically leave. That would create another problem entirely.

There was no door. Why was there no door? Why was the room DOING this to him?

His life really did feel like a book series where the author just did not know when to call it quits, so instead of finding a logical conclusion to the story and just leaving it alone...they kept throwing more and more at the main character to drag the torture out. Room of Requirement, consider yourself on this Hufflepuff's list.

At least for now.

Frustration and mild panic sinking in - because who actually wanted to be trapped in a room with an indifferent to hostile Zoryn? - Derf wasn't entirely sure what all came over him in the moment. "At least I have the ability to exercise free will when I make the decision to snitch," he replied dryly as his hands reached out into nothing but air in hopes that the door was just...disillusioned or something.

So uh, why was he talking again?

Zoryn had half a mind not to listen, but he was already speaking and it was too late to tune him out. "Well feel free to exercise your free will when you leave," she waved her hand dismissively at the stranger before turning around and heading for the beach chair and umbrella.

Could someone please remove this intruder from the premises? Zoryn was trying to enjoy the sunshine. A hard thing to do when there was a big ol' pile of blonde standing right there. So, like, leave! (: thank u, next.

As frustrated as he was...he was relieved in just hearing Zoryn's voice again. Whatever argument she wanted to have, she could win it. He didn't care. He just, well, he missed his friend. You know?

But right now...he was really missing having the opportunity to exercise his free will, er, freely. "....I can't," he said after a few more beats. He couldn't leave, though part of him didn't want to blame this on the room. Because, if he looked inward and reflected honestly, part of him wouldn't have left anyway. Because he and her needed to talk.

"....I can't leave, Zoryn," he signed, turning around to face her again but not moving any closer.

And why was he still here? Because Zoryn was just about 700% sure that she told him to leave. Absolutely insufferable.

The Gryffindor turned, rolled her eyes, and stared at the spot just behind his head. She wouldn't look at him straight on, that'd be insulting to herself. Showing him any ounce of respect would be disrespectful to her OWN character. Duh.

"And why the hell not?" Her voice both cold and dead, all at the same time. How she had mastered this skill? Probably through years of experience. Cutting the world off, it was a thing she did quite frequently. Zoryn Spinnet was like a black hole.

But really, could he actually leave now? Because Zoryn didn't want to entertain him with her attention any longer. He didn't deserve it.

Derfael Ashburry-Who?

He knew fueling her frustrations with his own would just make matters worse for everyone. Or, well, for the two of them since they were stuck in here like this and had to survive for however long it took for the Room to let them out.

".....the Room won't let me," he explained gently, turning properly to look at her again and certainly NOT taking any steps towards her. "....and maybe I'm glad it won't." Because they NEEDED to talk and this seemed to be the only way they would ever do that because Zoryn was so stubborn in her ways.

Balling up his hands into loose fists, Derf lamely tapped them against his thigh and searched his brain for something - anything - that was smart to say. Something that could help instantly. But there was no quick fix, not with Zoryn. Who was, ironically, the queen of quick fixes.

"....I'm never going to stop trying to be your friend, Zoryn Spinnet." No, wait. He needed to amend that statement. "I am always going to care about you."

........ "What do you mean the Room won't let you out???" she gave him a look typically reserved for when Tayo did something absolutely ridiculous and idiotic. Was Derf actually becoming more and more incompetent every day or had she somehow vanished his brain when she incinerated their entire friendship?

The Gryffindor was perfectly fine standing where she was, but unfortunately she was stuck here with the most incapable idiot sandwich of all time. Which meant, if you want to do anything right you must do it yourself. So Zoryn marched straight past him for the doorknob to give him a cold tutorial on-- "What the hell did you do this time?"

SHE WANTED TO SCREAM.

Was screaming against the rules now? Is this what he wanted?

Always going to care about you, yeah okay. She didn't' buy it. Maybe if he had cared in the first place, they wouldn't be in this mess right now. Clearly this was all HIS fault. Tattling on her. Getting her suspended from Quidditch. Thinking he was better than the rest of them. Never writing over the summer. Being so sucked into his fancy titles that he forgot how to have fun. It's not like he followed all the rules either, she KNEW him. Not inviting her to join him as he tried to get on one of the boats back to the castle for their last time at school. Okay... Maybe this was about a lot more than just snitching. Though, Zoryn didn't realize it herself. Nor would she ever say any of it out loud. "You talkin' to me or your badge?" she spat the harsh words out upon turning back on her heels, facing his ~general~ direction. And this time, her gaze was directed straight at his eyes.

Her brown eyes were cold. Yet, still (if one payed enough attention, perhaps) there was a trace of hurt, betrayal....

As much as she didn't want to feel things, she did. And you know what? She hoped he felt them too. She hoped they pierced him and filled him with regret.

He knew what Zoryn was doing. It was the exact same sort of behavior one would observe when seeing a creature - lets use a kneazle in this instance for reasons - backed into a corner with no where to go and fight-or-flight response was kicking into high gear. So she was lashing out, no other outlet but to do that, and honestly...Derf had become somewhat accustomed to being Zoryn's emotional punching bag at times. Though this was by far the most severe instance of it and the worst part of it all was that he wasn't even sure the Gryffindor was aware she was doing it. Or, if she was, she had just couldn't stop herself because her environment had conditioned her to behave this way.

Honestly it was all just...sad.

So yes. He did feel something. He felt a lot of things and the instinct to just go over to her and hug her, let her know it was okay and he wasn't holding anything against her, was unbearable. But he also valued his face and figured that making some sort of attempt at that would likely result in his face being rearranged...magically or by fist.

"You, Zoryn. You," says firmly. "You were my first friend at Hogwarts and our trip across the Lake together one of my favorite memories here still." Words that, well, he was pretty sure were going to be wasted. "...but you gotta stop looking at me and look no further than this piece of metal on my robes." Her and a lot of people did, to be honest. "The badge or not, it wouldn't have changed my feelings one bit about what you did with love potion and polyjuice potion."

No.

Zoryn wasn't going to let him do this. She had shut her emotions off, remember? She wasn't falling for this. He wasn't going to get to her. He didn't exist anymore. This friendship didn't exist anymore.

The Gryffindor physically turned herself away from him once more, thinking that blocking him off physically would help keep that mental and emotional block in place. Here's the thing, she knew this was her fault. She wasn't exactly aware of the moral implications behind the potions at the time. And she could still justify why they were 'just a bit of fun' and 'nothing more'. BUT she also knew the Headmaster was being reasonable. She knew it was Derf's job to report it. And she knew how he felt about polyjuice.

But here's another thing. Derf was good. He was one of the best people she knew. And he knew her, almost too well. It's not like this friendship would last very long. Derfael was innately good. Zoryn was innately bad. It's who they were. It's how the world worked. Good people don't like the bad people. She didn't have to be an Arithmancy brainiac to add those two things together.

So if it was all bound to sink, she'd do it on her own terms. No one could leave her behind. Because she left them. She had canceled him. Not the other way around. Its the same thing she pulled on Christopher, Sylvie, and now Théo. Only, the others made it much easier.

They all gave up.

It was almost like a test, wasn't it? And everyone failed, eventually. She was sure Derf would too.

Only at the moment, he was being absolutely infuriating.

Zoryn had put up the barricade and he KEPT AT IT. Every single attempt only broke down another piece of her barrier. The emotions she had been blocking out were slowly being reintroduced. And it was sending her into an ultimate panic. Thank Merlin she wasn't facing him because she was freaking out. Visibly.

"Stop," she didn't want to hear it. SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!!!

He didn't mean any of that. He was just saying things. Of course he didn't care. Why would anyone care? She was a screw up, okay? "STOP!"

He could see it. He could see her cracks and he wasn't sorry for it. Not at all. Perhaps it even made him a little bit bolder since he was taking some steps closer to you. Zoryn was exhausting, especially if you didn't know what you were looking at. But to the observant person, to those who really looked past her showboat Gryffindor exterior...you could peel away the layers and see the vulnerable person beneath. You just had to, you know, peel a LOT. Sometimes it helped if you had a tool or ten. But all Derf was equipped with right now was himself and time.

Here goes nothing?

"I will not," he stated firmly. "As stubborn as you are...you know I'm just as persistent. Especially with people I care about. And I DO care about YOU, Zoryn." And then he stood there, arms at either side. "So...if you need to take a swing at me or something to let go of your frustrations. Then do it. I don't reckon that's the right way to let out what you're feeling but it's gotta go somewhere." Better that than her acting out and bringing more negative attention to herself. So he thought in the moment at least. "And then..." he continues, swallowing somewhat thickly. "...once you're let off some steam...we need to talk...and sort through this...please...cause...I miss you, you know?"

Zoryn didn't want to hear it. She didn't want to hear any of it. Why did he have to be so bloody persistent? She was doing just fine without him and he had been doing just fine without her. They were going to go their separate ways eventually, so why prolong the process? Couldn't he just cooperate for once? Let her make it easy?

Zoryn wanted to SCREAM.

Because in the end it didn't matter whether or not he actually believed any of the stuff that he was saying. Because in the end, if you care about people they have power over you. They can manipulate you. They can hurt you. And when they leave you, that's when it hurts the most. And that's what Zoryn Spinnet was going to avoid. This was her game. Control was hers.

But she was slipping. And boy, was she slipping fast.

"Don't you GET IT, DERF?" she turned around to face him, her face stone-cold and eyes filled with anger, "it doesn't matter." She really wanted to scream. "You and me. We're different. We can't be friends. We don't add up." She punctuated each sentence with more and more frustration.

And then the gears turned.

"I don't want to be your friend," lie. "I hate you." lie. "You're nothing to me." lie.

The Hufflepuff couldn't help but glance around to see if the door had manifested itself yet...which to no one's surprise it still had not. Which, well, he reckoned that meant that the room wasn't done with them yet? At least that was what he was going to tell himself it meant. It encouraged him to keep going, to gently push.

But as Zoryn spoke, the most peculiar thing happened. He found himself laughing. "....Zoryn...you and I are both rubbish at Arithmancy," he pointed out lightly. Calculations always all over the place or hardly even properly attempted to start with. They both lacked the focus to get very far in the subject, so saying they didn't add up...well...of course it didn't because they were terrible at calculations.

And speaking of not adding up, was Zoryn aware of her pattern? Though if she were, she wouldn't likely fall into it so easily time and time again. She liked to think she had people fooled, you know? But turns out she may just really only have herself fooled...or something like that.

"I already told you, I will never stop trying to be your friend. I don't hate you. And you're something to me," he countered with easily, his tone soft and almost as though he were speaking to a skiddish unicorn foal.

Zoryn’s eyes also flitted around the room in search of the door. A door, which, still hadn’t made an appearance. And while its absence pushed Derf to keep going, it only pushed Zoryn towards more internal panic.

The whole point of pushing people away was that they couldn’t try to come back. She had put a distance between the two of them for a reason. There was a wall. He wasn’t supposed to be able to climb over it, or bust through it for that matter (which is what it felt like his aim was all along). It made Zoryn uneasy. These were her rules. Her practiced routine. Her fail-proof methodology. And here Derfael was knocking it down, brick by brick.

And then he did the strangest thing. He was laughing…. ?????

“You know I’m not talking about Arithmancy!” WHY WAS HE BEING SO INFURIATING? Why was he being so bloody persistent? Why did he have to make this SO HARD?

His words made her let out a low groan. “Why can’t you just hate me, Derf?!?!?” It would make their lives so much easier. They could hate each other and move on. She was frustrated. And tired. And edging on defeated. Why couldn't he just say he hated her?? Why did he keep having to be Derf.

Sighing a little, Derf slid his hands into his pockets and rocked a bit more back and forth on his heels. He was realizing in this moment that, while he considered Zoryn a friend, he really didn't understand her. Understand in the sense of having some sort of awareness as to why she was this way. He knew how she thought and worked based on observation alone, it was easy to recognize flight or fight instincts in creatures and Zoryn's pattern was predictable to anyone who knew what they were looking for. But...what he didn't know was why, not like he understood why Picketta was still wary around witches and wizards since it had been their kind who had chopped down her first Home Tree and destroyed her sense of security.

But...what had made Zoryn be this way?

"...why do you want me to hate you, Zoryn?" he asked instead. Though he was hardly going to think pushing him away. "What...do you think I am going to do to you by wanting to be your friend?"

Zoryn felt like she was being held under a microscope. It made her skittish.

She wasn't normally one to analyze things before taking action, but she was really thinking hard. It felt like her brain was working at a rate of 19 km/hour, which really didn't help her cause. Because instead of helping, the thinking was absolutely debilitating. No wonder Abra was so depleted all the time. How did ANYONE think this much and SURVIVE??????

And then Derf had to go and ask the most left field question there was. Couldn't anything just be EASY with him???????? She wasn't asking for much here. "Because it'd make things WAY easier," then they wouldn't have to do THIS kind of thing every other month. She wouldn't disappoint him time and time again. She wouldn't have to think so much. And this whole feeling backed into a corner thing, forget about it!

AGAIN WITH THE QUESTIONS?????

"Do I have to spell it out for you???" She was 100% trying to avoid the second question because she didn't actually have an answer for it. "Derf. You are a good person." she pointed at him theatrically before pointing back to herself, "me? Zoryn Spinnet? I'm not a good person." Was he starting to get the picture or did she need to introduce diagrams?

"Good people and bad people, they don't mix. They don't hang out. They're not friends." WAS. HE. GETTING. IT!?!!?
