| | |  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.

| Hogwarts Roulette - Kinsay & Cailyn doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo
Kinsay stepped out of the room of requirement and finally let her face fall as she leaned up against the cold stone wall. She just needed some air, that's all. Happy!Kinsay loved a party, she really did. Everyone knew that. So she couldn't just skip out on it. She really couldn't. Because then everyone would know that there was something wrong and she didn't want that.
Except. Except it was kind of hard to smile and she had started to grow uneasy and and and. So. So it was time for a break.
She'd stand here for another few minutes, catch her breath, and THEN she'd go back into the Room of Requirement and put on a show until the party was over. Her outfit deserved to be shown off (a classy linen suit, truly a monochromatic moment) and she needed her friends to see how fine she was. The MOST fine.

To say that the memory of her talk with Henry at the start-of-term speech hadn’t been in her mind, Cailyn would have been lying to even herself. She wasn’t as much of a party person as most of the rest of her friends, let alone the rest of the seventh years in general, but it was fun to get to hang out with them all. Not just her dormmates.
As such, she may have noticed when people were just seeming off. She considered Kinsay a friend, but maybe not as much as she’d considered others (like Margaret and possibly even Fox). Even so, it was almost obvious something was going on, and maybe it’d be easier to deal with a casual friend than anyone else.
She’d barely had the thought before she had found herself slipping out of the Room of Requirement after the blonde. “Everything going okay?” Just an innocuous question. But she’d definitely go get someone else if the other girl wanted her to.

Hearing someone's voice, Kinsay plastered a smile on her face as she turned around. "What?" She feigned confusion for a moment as she pretended to realize what Cailyn was asking. "Oh, yeah. I'm just taking a breather. It was hard to hear myself think in there." She laughed softly as she brushed it off. There was absolutely nothing wrong here, okay? And if there were (which there wasn't!!!!), she wouldn't be talking to Cailyn about it. Um. No offense. Cailyn was sweet and Kins didn't mind her company, but. But Kinsay considered her an acquaintance at best. So.
So yeah. Anyway.
She adjusted her necklace as she continued to offer the girl a wide smile, one that didn't quite reach her eyes. "Were you leaving the party?" Was it acceptable to leave now or were people still raging into the night? Because, honestly, Kinsay was ready to leave too so...

The plastered-on smile didn’t really do much to convince Cailyn that Kinsay was telling the truth, but she also understood the meaning behind it. Not everyone was as quick to trust as she was, as quick to consider anyone a friend as opposed to just an acquaintance. She was okay with that, but it hadn’t stopped her from trying. Sometimes things worked out, after all. Sometimes. Maybe. “Yeah, it really is kind of hard to think in there”, she agreed with a smile, letting the blonde continue her excuse.
Besides, it was true. It was what happened at most Hogwarts parties. Occasionally it was easy to handle, and other times a breather was definitely needed.
“Not really. I guess it’s more like I’m just taking a breather too.” But she was completely willing to come up with an excuse had the other girl felt like leaving. Someone had to believe it, right?

For what it's worth, she was telling the truth. She just wasn't telling the whole truth. Which was. It was. It wasn't technically lying, ok? Kinsay James did not lie. Or well, she always tried her best not to, which ought to count for something so. Still, she continued to smile, nodding when Cailyn agreed. The music was overwhelming okay? She had become accustomed to the loud music party vibes since having immersed herself in that world all summer, but even Kinsays needed a break sometimes. It was just. She was just. It was exhausting.
"Yeah... It's always nice to step away sometimes. It was really crowded in there so..."
This was ... painful. Hopefully Cailyn didn't feel as awkward as Kinsay did about it though.

The feeling that the other girl wasn’t being entirely truthful hadn’t left Cailyn at all, but she also was holding back on challenging Kinsay as to her answers. Sometimes it was just easier to let people decide whether or not they wanted to open up, after all. There was only so much she could do to convince them to do so, and she was actively pursuing this decision at the current time. Plus, she understood if the Gryffindor felt like it would have been easier to open up to anyone else. Maybe. She thought so, anyhow.
“It really is”, she agreed, giving her another smile. “Hogwarts parties always seem to end up rather crowded”. Just an observation, but one that she regularly felt kept her finding escapes every so often. In case Kinsay thought she had a problem with the party environment.
She didn’t, but it was oh so easy to feel like she could get overrun as petite as she was. Let alone the bookworm part of her that came out occasionally.

Kinsay James was ready to end the conversation here, to be honest. But she didn't want to seem impolite or raise any alarm bells, and so, reluctantly she would find a way to carry on. It was excruciating though. She was, like, super exhausted and it had very little to do with Cailyn. "Yeah," she agreed in turn, nodding her head slowly.
It was strange. She knew she was in control and yet it felt like her body belonged to someone else, like she was watching it from the outside. Merely an observer. "The more the merrier, right?" Wrong. But she'd pretend. Which wasn't the same thing as lying.
For the record.

For the record. It was obvious that they weren’t exactly getting anywhere with the conversation, and Cailyn definitely didn’t want anyone, Kinsay in this case, feeling like she was forcing them to do anything they didn’t want to do. Which was probably how she had gotten into this predicament, but extraction was proving to be delicate. “Mhm”, she agreed, softly.
The sense of being overrun was one she was particularly familiar with, if not for the same reasons the blonde Gryffindor might be feeling it. She regularly felt like she was just an observer, honestly. On the fringe of everything no matter how much she tried. “Exactly”. The sentence felt hollow. But there wasn’t much she could do about it…
“I could give them an excuse if you wanted to leave”. The people inside, that is. It was a last attempt at helping, for now.

Kinsay wasn't planning on leaving. She really, really wasn't. Honest. Swear on her life and everything. Except. Except when Cailyn offered her the out, she felt her nerves unravel and her muscles relax. So. So maybe she ought to take it. Allowing her features to soften, she looked down at her feet for a moment before looking back up to her year-mate.
"That would be- Could you really?" She found herself asking, twisting one of her rings around her finger. "I'd- I'd really appreciate that." There was a raw edge to her voice, something nearing a vulnerability she didn't plan on sharing with the girl.
"Thanks, Cailyn."

Had she assumed Kinsay actually meant to leave? Not at all, honestly, but Cailyn understood the feeling of being overwhelmed. She understood a lot of things, really, whether she acknowledged them was another story. But this was different. She wasn’t going to explain that she understood. She was just giving the other girl the way out. Even if it was only a temporary escape. It seemed as if most escapes at Hogwarts were temporary.
Even so, she’d rather expected a different reaction. “Of course. If you want me to”. It was a simple response, but still entirely sincere. There was no reason to lie about something like this. It was just a simple offer.
“You’re welcome, Kinsay”.
