Default Tea & Meditation Room


When you enter the room next to the main Arithmancy classroom, your eyes may immediately be drawn to the peculiar shape of the room - a decagon. One wall is where you just entered and the remaining nine walls are numbered one through nine, each wall painted a pale color scheme related to the number. There's various pillows, cushions, yoga mats scattered throughout the room, giving you the perfect place to sit and contemplate the future.

In the center of the room, there's a beverage cart, complete with various tea kettles, cups and saucers along with a seemingly endless supply of boiling water.

Major exam coming up? Fight with your housemates? Will you earn that coveted spot on your house Quidditch Team or Gobstones Team? Does your crush like you back? Whatever dilemmas happen to be facing you, there's a tea that can help. Use the chart displayed at the center tea station to work out what number tea would best suit your desired outcome.

The first sign something was off came when Iris bit into a toffee and it tasted like lake water.

Not just any lake water, mind you, Hogwarts lake water. Brackish, kelp-tinged, with an unmistakable undertone of Grindylow musk and coppery old magic. She gagged so violently she nearly choked on her own confusion and by the time she recovered the flavor had shifted again, this time to the cinnamon-sugar tang of her mum’s Sunday scones. By Wednesday, it was happening constantly. Not the Hogwarts lakewater aftertaste, but flavors where they should not be. A sip of pumpkin juice turned to cold fireplace ash and old paper. Pear slices gave way to steamed broccoli. Gravy tasted like a kiss she hadn’t had yet. Toast reminded her of train tracks. She didn’t know how she knew these things exactly, the most maddening bit about it all, but she just… did.

Worse still, everything she tasted came with a crawling unease she couldn’t quite name. Like the feeling you get when an owl arrives five minutes too late or someone says your name from an empty room. For as long as she could remember, her relationship with taste had always been weird...but it was her weird. Her weird tested, trialed and Department of Mysteries approved weird. It had rules. It usually needed the proximity of emotional context. Now? Something was scrambled and Iris hated scrambled ― not even generous amounts of ketchup could even make her enjoy scrambled eggs.

So, somewhat begrudgingly, she made her way to the Arithmancy Tea Room. Time and time again her feet had brought her here in spite of having other destinations in mind. By the eighth time, she finally surrendered these nonsensical wanderings to something greater than herself. That perhaps Hogwarts itself was heavily hinting at her that she needed to head this direction because, well, help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who deserve it...and after barely sleeping the last couple nights due to being woken up by the inexplicable tastes assaulting her mouth, she sure did deserve some peace of mind. She told herself it wasn’t because she was desperate. She didn’t even really believe in places like this with themed teas and intention charts, rooms shaped like a decagon and what that meant with sacred geometry. It all felt a bit too much like weaponized whimsy...but the cushions were soft, the lights were gentle, and no one asked questions.

The blonde traced her hand along each of the softly colored walls as she circled the room, wishing just for a moment that she had Nyle’s gift for touch. She decided she could stomach a bit of whimsy, just this once, closed her eyes, and continued her slow, silent parade around the space. She was waiting for some sign, any sign, to tell her when to stop.

Aurora had heard about the tea and meditation room, but she hadn’t had an opportunity to check it out until now. Today felt like the perfect day for some tea and relaxation. She wasn’t sure exactly what tea she was in the mood for, but she figured she could sort that out as soon as she saw the options.

Expecting to be alone, she was surprised to see a girl in the room. And not only that, she was circling the room and touching the walls. Umm, hi,” she said softly. She didn’t want to scare her when her eyes were closed. That would make her feel bad. ”What are you doing?” Rory wasn’t judging, she was just curious.

Iris hadn’t heard the door open seeing as she’d been too wrapped in her own rhythm consisting of the quiet shuffle of her boots against the floor and the faint rustle of her sleeve brushing the decagon’s numbered walls. Pale colors shifted behind her eyelids like a kaleidoscope of mood and meaning and though she wasn’t entirely convinced the walls would "tell" her anything...she’d given herself permission to lean into the whimsy for once and never admit to her brother that she had done so. Hogwarts was full of stranger things than magical numerology, after all.

She’d just begun to think maybe wall number three (or was it five?) felt warmer than the others when a voice broke softly through her concentration. Her eyes blinked open and she stopped mid-step, hand still resting lightly on the pastel-painted wall of a still to-be-identified color.

The third year immediately stepped away from the wall, cheeks tinged with embarrassment, and pivoted to face her fellow Hufflepuff. "Numerological alignment. Seeing if any of the walls produced a measurable instinctive reaction." Then, as a slightly panicked afterthought, "Hello."

When the girl turned around, Aurora saw that it was Iris. Though she wasn't very familiar with the younger girl, she had seen her in classes and around the school. And Aurora knew that she was Nyle's twin sister.

"Hello, Iris." Aurora gave her a friendly smile and let her get over her embarrassment. Though honestly she didn't really have anything to be embarrassed about. Rory was more curious than anything. And what the girl said next made her raise her brow. She had never heard of anyone trying to do that by touching walls. "Wait, are there people who can actually do that?" Huh. If so that was pretty cool.

Iris blinked at the girl, the brainfog of embarrassment lifting just enough to process that she not only knew this intruder peer but it was Aurora.

"Not exactly," she said, voice clipped but polite, as if keeping a lid on whatever deeper explanation might be brewing while also masking her disappointment that she was far too frazzled to enjoy this encounter to the fullest. "My mum does, sometimes...it's part of her Seer gift...but I was just trying to… I don’t know, sense something." She smoothed the front of her cardigan needlessly again and shifted her weight to one leg in quiet discomfort. "It’s nonsensical," she added quickly, like slapping a bandage over the wound before anyone could comment on its presence. "But I couldn’t taste anything properly this morning, so I figured maybe this place might help."

Iris glanced toward the tea cart and shrugged, "Or at the very least accessible boiling water and a decent cuppa."

When Iris said ‘not exactly’, Aurora wanted to inquire more, but then the other girl went on. Ohhh right, the Seer gift. She felt a little silly for not realizing that herself. It was too bad that Iris hadn’t been able to make it work. Unless she tried again and was more successful. Now Rory was feeling a little bad for interrupting. But then she had just wanted to have some tea. She blinked at what the girl said next. ”Is there something wrong with your tastebuds?”

Her eyes travelled to the cart. ”Ooh, yes. I was wanting tea as well.” That and maybe a nap if she relaxed enough. The cushions looked comfy.
