Sarah really was a good dancer. "Yeah, how long have you been dancing?" Selena asked. Selena had taken some dance lessons at well, ballet, ballroom. and she had kinda gotten into choreographing her own dances to her favorite songs. But she had stopped last year when her mother found out. Her mother... ugh.

Selena didn't need to look at Sarah's nails to know she was lying. "Don't lie," Selena said. She hated people who lied. She had been lied to for her entire life, she couldn't stand another lie. Lies were told only because they were afraid! Selena was absolutely sick of people lying. "There's something bothering you," Selena said with realization. There was definitely something... Selena just knew it... she had always known these type of things.

Sarah's mood brightened a bit at the change of topic especially since it was dance. "Well I started dancing or trying to dance when I was five years old and I begged my mum and dad to either teach me themselves, which I knew they couldn't and wouldn't do, or put me into lessons if they didn't want me to tell stories about them letting me hang out with muggles since my family is big against all that, but I did manage to convince them to let me hang out with muggleborns and halfbloods. But anyways my parents started searching and found me a private witch dancing teacher that taught me ballet, contemporary, and even soon ballroom. What about you do you dance?"
When Sarah found that Selena knew she wasn't sad she was actually kinda happythat she had someone to talk to, but that didn't make it any easier to speak about. "How did you know I was lying? I...I well...uh..." the confession began so slow and choppy but then she broke down and it all came out in a whirlwind. "MycousinVicky'smaidofhonorjustdiedinthelineoffire asshewasanauror.sonowI'vebeenaskedtofillherspotand bethemaidofhonorandnotjustthebridesmaidsoihaveALOT expectedfrommeandIhaven'tbeenabletohangoutwithmyfa ternaltwinsister,Scarlett,evenwithusbeinginthesame houseandallthisiskindapillingupontheemotionalandph ysicalscarsmyUnclegavemewhenIwasakidandIwouldstaya thishouseandifIeverdidsomethinghedidn'tlikehewould usehiswhiportheCruciatusCurseandwiththosescarsIcou ldneverwearthedressmycousinwantsmetowearwithoutrev ealingthescars,butshe'smycousinandIcan'treallysay' No'tohernowcanI?" It was all out finally! She had straight black hair falling over her tear stained face now and her nails were a smoky grey while her eyes were like red and black were fighting for world domination behind those tears. She hated crying and there she was knealing on the ground with her face burried in her hands, trying to wipe the abundant amount of tears away.

"Yeah, I do... I do ballet and ballroom," Selena answered simply before turning to the real matters. "Sarah, I've been lied to my entire life, I can tell when someone is lying to me," Selena sighed as she hugged her.

"It'll be okay," Selena said as she rubbed her back in soothing circles, "the world expects something of everyone... you think being me is simple? I'm not all that carefree, I have secrets too," Selena murmured. She really didn't like it when her friends were sad. She was a bit too protective sometimes though. "Come on, don't cry," Selena said softly as she pulled out her handkerchief and dabbed at Sarah's eyes. "Life is hard, it's an obstacle course, sometimes... you can't jump over it, so you have to go the long way around it," Selena said. "Everyone is expected to achieve something in life, everyone, not just you, have secrets," Selena smiled at her, hoping to brighten up the situation. "Do you really think that I eat the chocolate and sweets to make myself hyper? I do all that so I can hide all my feelings, everyone is wearing a mask, you'll have to figure everyone out yourself," Selena said.

Selena hugged Sarah tightly. She didn't want her to be hurt ever again. She would never wish ill on any of her friends no matter how mad she was. "C'mon, dry your tears, afterwards, we'll go down to the Great Hall, meet up with Dianna and Saiyomi then go to the wishing fountain, so we can all make our wishes," Selena said with a small smile.

"Th-Th-Thanks Selena. I-I don't usually c-cry like this. Heck, I d-don't usually cry a-at all. Are you okay to-too? You know wi-with your se-secrets and all?" she asked her friend trying to calm down yet truly concerned for her. "Do you want to talk about? I found out recently that talking REALLY helps." Sarah let out a soft chuckle. "I'm usually better at hiding behind the mask rather than trying to find what people are hiding behind theirs." Her stomach let out another rumble, but this time a bit louder than the last. "I think eating breakfast with the others would be an eexcellent plan as is the wishing fountain, but first are you okay? Really Selena?" She hugged her friend back trying to squeeze whatever hurt she has had away. Sarah was done crying and feeling sorry for herself, now she needed to be there for her friend.

Selena just offered a secretive half smile. "For me... I have to keep things bottled inside for me to feel alright," Selena said. She hugged her friend back. "Alright, let's go down to the Great Hall and grab some food," Selena smiled. She would never tell anyone a thing...

She smiled back not sure what to do to help her open up, but I guess only time would tell so she followed Selena off to the Great Hall...yum! Food!

OOC: should you post first or should I???

"Come on!" Selena giggled.

<<OOC: iGuess iWill...?>>

"okay okay I'm coming!"she giggled " Just let me change first remember!" she pointed at her outfit. Sarah went behind the change room and got into some muggle clothing she wore her favorite pants: black, pin striped skinny jeans with tears in the thighs and studded pockets. She also wore one of her favorite shirts: red t-shirt that was form fitting and had a small v-neck and with this she wore her black belt with black studs and her shoes were dark brown gladiator, two inch. heels. She decided to have her hair curly and dark brown like selena's but with hints of blonde and a couple streaks of red hear and there to make her shirt stand out even more, she pulled back into a high ponytail, put on a little bit of mascara and was walking arm in arm with Selena down to the Great Hall within 10 minutes

Amy walked into the room of requirment and pulled on her jazz shoes which she found in the corner, she changed into her leotard and added her wrap around skirt, she went over to the CD player in smal step ball changes and changed in to her favourite album, slowly she walked back into the middle and began to warm up to Passion Pit, smiling as she felt her hair fall out of it's pony tail

Step ball change and repeat and repeat and step ball change and repeat, and leap, leap leap, box spilts. She murmered under her breath as she stepped through the steps before turning over to the CD player and switching to Glee's rain on my parade, as she heard the familiar first bars she began the routine

Somewhere comfy to do homwork, with food drink and fun.
The door began to materialise both the two Third years. With linked arms the sheer size of the door dwarfed them, turing to Mina, Patroclus with wide eyes said " Wow, i have never been here before" Reaching out he placed his hand on the door handle and turned it. The doors swung open with the greatess ease, and Patroclus already wide eyes, got even wider.

Mina stared up at the door and then turned to Patroclus. "Neither have I," she replied. Yes, she had heard of it first year, but she never really had need of it and thus never went looking for it. She had always have her common room and the library, but perhaps she should have tried to find this room sooner.

Watching as Patroclus opened the door, she held her breath as the door swung open and they could see inside of it fully. Taking a slight step forward, she nudged him and looked back between the door and where they were standing. "Shall we?"

Watching as Patroclus opened the door, she held her breath as the door swung open and they could see inside of it fully. Taking a slight step forward, she nudged him and looked back between the door and where they were standing. "Shall we?"

With Mina's small encouragement, Patroclus walked into the Room of Requirement. Before him was a vast stone room, with catherdral high ceilings, and directly across from the door a fireplace so large he could have easily stepped into is pit and jumped with his arms straight up and still not hit the top.
In front of the fire place was a large oak table, and at its ends were two large high backed chairs; one red, one blue. In the centre of the table was a palater piled high, with fruit, cheese and bread and next to that were two pitchers one of juice the other of cold water. The whole room was bathed in a fiery glow.

"It's perfect," smiled Patroclus, letting go of Mina's arm he ran across the vast room and dropped his bags down beside the red chair. Sitting down he utter a large sigh of relief. "Its so comfy!"

Avery went to the room of requirement waiting for Jason. She was there a little early but she couldn't wait in the common room any more. She had rushed back there from the flower garden to wash up. She put on just a little big of make up, nothing major, no need for anything to crazy and she did her hair nice for this. She wanted everything to be perfect for the day.

Mina closed Patroclus into the RoR, staying rather clsoe to him. There really wasn't much to be worried about, there couldn't be anything dangerous in there. Besides, she was with Patroclus and the room was going to provide them with what they needed and thus there wasn't anything to fear really. Peeking around him, she stopped and blinked.

Wow! It really was more than she had expected. The room really was what they needed. She would really have to come to the room more often. Watching Patroclus' reaction, she watched as he plopped down in the red chair and let a giggle out. Walking over, she dropped her bag beside the blue chair and sat down. Resting her hand against the back of the chair, she sighed happily. "Mmmm, it really is comfy!"

For a moment Patroclus contemplated letting himself drift off to sleep, the fire and the chairs were just so warm and relaxing. But he shock off the thought of sleep, and opened his eys and stared at Mina. It appeared she too was also in rapture over the gorgeous setting the room had provided for their study session.
"Well before we begin, can i offer you any freshments, water, juice, fruit or cheese?" he suggested to Mina, there was so much on offer and he was not going to waste it, because some people never find this room again, he remembered someone telling him in his first year.

"What do you have to work on?" Patroclus asked Mina, "I myself need to practise my transfiguration."

Mina smiled and she rolled her head slightly against the back of the chair. It really was too comfy and she was so relaxed sititng there. Slowly opening her eyes, she looked at Patroclus and blushed slightly. She had kind of spaced out in the chair and must have looked a bit strange.

"Maybe some juice and cheese," she replied as her eyes danced over all the offerings. The room had ready provided them with everything. Just at that moment, her stomach grumbled slightly. "Maybe some fruit too," she laughed softly as a slight blush graced her cheeks. Her stomach was always grumbling at the worst times.

Reaching for her bag, she glanced inside it. "I have transfiguration myself and also DADA," she replied as she pulled her notes out and looked up at him. "Plus Muggle Studies. I've be kind of preoccupied so I need to get it all done now." She really did hate being behind, but in a place like this, she was sure she'd be more willing to gt all her work done now.

Patroclus got up from his seat, and fixed a plate for Mina, she had after all beaten him in the race, so deserved the royal treatment.
“My lady” he said in a phony posh voice, as he presented her with her plate, “For the grumbling stomach.” He laughed as he poured her a goblet of juice.

As he got his own food, he commented on Mina’s workload, “Wow. We better get to it, or we will be here all night! As well as Transfiguration I have Divinations, but I feel like performing magic, so Transfiguration first.” He made his way back to his seat, popping a lovely piece of cheese into his mouth, “Oh Yum!” he creid.
Reaching into his bag he pulled out his notes. He needed something to turning into a watch, so he decided an apple would be an excellent watch so he grabbed one and placed in front of him.

Clearing his throat he took up his wand and pointed it at the apple, “Horolus!” At first he thought nothing had happened to the apple, but he then notices its stalk was now the hands of a clock.
“Opps!”, he laughed, “Reverto!”

Mina took the plate and bowed her head slightly in thanks, a smile on her face. "Why thank you ever so much, kind sir," she replied in her poshest voice she could pull as she took the goblet in her hand and raised it to receive the juice. The two of them were really something together.

Picking at the cheese, she shrugged. The work load was larger but it wasn't something she could handle. Doing it before, she knew that she could surely handle it once again. "Yeah, I know but I do love me a challenge and all," she explained as she nibbled on a cube of cheese and then a slice of an apple.

Setting her plate down for a moment, she searched within her bag for something. Wrapping her hand around an item, she pulled her hand out of her bag and brought her hand to her lap. Opening her hand, she looked down at a single barrette. It was small, but it would surely work for her.

Moving her sleeve up, she pulled her wand from its holster. Taking the barrette in her left hand, she pointed her wand at it and thought about her father's pocket watch clearly in her mind. Moving her wand in a tight circular manner, she twirled it round and round and round; followed by a flick. Horolus!

Looking down at her left palm, there now was a gold pocket watch. It did look a lot like her father's. The same gold and green. She was rather proud of her work. Looking up, she caught a glimse of Patroclus' apple and giggled.

Looking down at her left palm, there now was a gold pocket watch. It did look a lot like her father's. The same gold and green. She was rather proud of her work. Looking up, she caught a glimse of Patroclus' apple and giggled.

Looking up Patroclus saw Mina hade successfully transfigure her clip into a beautiful gold and emerald watch.
“Wow, talk about talent, and it is gorgeous too.” Patroclus smiled complimenting Mina’s casting abilities. “It would be cool if you could keep it that way.”
Having reverted his apple back to its correct state, Patroclus raised his wand to try again.
Focusing on the apple, he mentally pictured it turning into a pocket watch, and wit this imprinted in his mid, he gave it a second attempt.
“Horolus” this time the transformation was perfect, the apple transformed into a perfectly shaped time piece, “ Reverto” he cried, the apple reappeared, “Horolus” once again there before him was his watch.
“Well I think we have managed that, don’t you?” he smiled, “Bravo to us, applause all round”

Mina smiled at the praise and lifted her wand again. Giving the watch a tap and then a swirl, she cast envisioning her barrette in her mind. Reverto. Again it was her barrette. She was getting a bit better at it, it seemed. Perhaps the yoga was working for her already.

"I wish we could keep them like this, but maybe another time." she shrugged as she looked back down at the barrette. It was time to turn it back again. Again she envisioned the gold and emerald pocket watch clearly in her mind. Raising the wand again, she twirled it tightly round and round and round, then an upward flick.

The gold and emerald pocket watch was back again. Yes, she was really starting to get the hang out it now. Looking up at Patroclus, she smiled and gave a clap. "I think we have it done pretty well," she replied as she looked at his apple watch. It was rather cute.

They both had succeeded in transfiguring their items into watches, but Patroclus thought he would give it another go, on something a tad more difficult in shape and size.
Gazing around the room, he searched for something to perform on. There was Mina, however he didn’t think she would appreciate being turned into a watch very much, there was also their chairs or their bags.

However deciding to use something else completely, Patroclus kicked off his shoe and placed it on the table in front of him. “I hope my feet don’t smell” he joked to Mina, but he knew they didn’t, well not to him anyway. Raising his wand he spoke the incantation “Horolus” and tap his shoe, which immediately turned into a perfect wrist watch, “Ta Da!” he laughed waving his hands like a muggle party magician, “I will leave it like this till its time to go! get it Time to go! Now, on to Divinations.”
He reached into his bag, and withdrew his parchment and divination text books.

Finally reaching the Room of Requirement, Whit let go of Kel's hand and tried to catch her breathe. There probably wasn't any reason for them to run all the way over here, and it was her fault, but it just made the whole thing more fun! "Ooookay, here we are and here we go."

She stood in front of the spot she was always told was the spot and tried to think of every little thing she wanted in the room, including sets of clothing. Whit was very excited now. 'Okay, so we need....the rides, the food, the clothes....the water...do you think I'm missing anything?" She had to double check just to make sure she wouldn't forget anything, of course.

Kel let out a short, out of breath laugh as he and Whit reached the wall where the Room of Requirement was. "No height requirements." he suggested, teasing. "And..." he couldn't think of anything else off the top of his head. "Well, if we need anything else, can't we just ask the room again?" he thought so...

"So. A water park. Rides, uh, water of course, yummy food, swimming suits..." he started pacing past the wall, thinking about the water park he and Whit wanted.

"Heeeey" Whit softly and jokingly punched Kel's arm. She wasn't that short anymore, compared to the first time they met when she was barley five feet tall. Now she was 5'2! "But you're probably right." How tall did one have to be to be able to ride a ride anyway? "Actually, I think you can, so then no stress!" And if they couldn't in the end, for some reason....they'd just have to manage.

Whit nodded as she heard and saw Kel pace back and forth between the spaces where a door would appear in a few seconds. Then, after his third time of repeating the same thing big, brown, sturdy, wooden doors appeared before her eyes. "There!" She almost yelled. If the door was that big then how big would the room itself be? "You wanna go first? Or at the same time?" Whit was practically giddy now. If this was what a boring person spent their time doing then she definitely wanted to be a boring person from now on.

ooc:Okay, I have to get off now, I'll post tomorrow (:

Mina dangled her pocket watch before her and then looked back to Patroclus. Watching him with his shoe, she tilted her head slight and giggled. "I have two brothers. Feet don't bother me," she replied as she watched. Leaning her head back against the chair, she smiled as the shoe turned into a wrist watch. Clapping excitedly, she smiled. "Well done, Patroclus."

Giggling at the his joke, she shook her head. "But I thought the assignment was to trade items and turn them back?" she asked as she pulled up her notes and flipped through them.
