The Room of Fun.

[seanna]

The RoR had never failed Seanna before and as she walked past the room for a third time, trying to think of what it was she really needed, Seanna 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 man. 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. Seanna 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 that darn love potion that was still a mud mess in her room. Oh no, today was going to be about fun. Fun in the name of making new potions. Walking over to the wall that occupied the potion ingredients, Seanna took one off the shelves, entitled: "Potions and How To Make A New One" Book in hand, Seanna wandered over to several desks 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.

[Felicity Hjort]

It was a couple of weeks into the term, and things weren't looking any brighter in terms of her badge. She had yet to devise a way to have it stripped of her, she'd tried handing out detentions, threatening to find a way to take House points, had even tried being mean, and there was no going to it yet. But she wasn't about to stop. Maybe if she could make a lot of people dislike her, they'd rally against her Prefectshipness and go to Raynor or Brady themselves and request she be removed from being a Prefect. It would work, so why hadn't anyone yet?

The Prefect's she'd met the previous year had been nice, none of them got her into trouble, not even the Head Boy and how many times could he have gotten her in some? Why were they so nice and yet she was being mean and no one seemed to care? It had to work, she had to find a way to get it taken from her. It was the only way her parents wouldn't ask about why she didn't want it. They'd be disappointed in her, sure, but she thought it might be worth it. Though, even sometimes she felt a little pang of guilt in her stomach about it.

But as she and Celina walked around the corridors, in search of something to do, Felicity couldn't even bring up her feelings about it to her best friend. Celina had wanted to be Prefect so badly, but yet, she hadn't gotten it. It didn't make sense. Celina deserved to be Prefect, she was constantly chiding Felicity of the rules of the castle, she was nearly top in the year, and she was a little bit of a goody-two-shoes. Yet, she hadn't received the badge? What exactly was Raynor playing at? Sure, they said the Heads of Houses were the ones who chose the Prefects, but Raynor had to have something to do with it.

As she and Celina chatted away, Felicity heard a quiet sizzling noise, like something was burning. Turning to her friend, Felicity rose an eyebrow and put a finger up to her lips to indicate their conversation for the moment needed to be paused. The barely ajar door was the same one that led to the room that was intriguing.

Grabbing at her friend's hand, Felicity pulled her along with her and slowly eased the door open, centimeter by centimeter. What was going on in there?

[Celina Jedynak]

Celina had been out and walking the castle when she had run into Felicity randomly. She was excited to see her friend, for she had been a bit busy with the Prefect ship and other things, so they couldn't hang out as much as Celina would have liked to. Ok, so they still had hung out a lot, but Celina was a bit of a clinger in some ways, especially since her friends had gotten their badges. She didn't want to be left out of everything because she was the only one in her crew whom didn't receive one. Even Connor had received one, and though Celina was so very happy for him, she still felt as if she was constantly out of the loop, even if she really wasn't.

Walking down the corridors together, the friends talked of various things, Celina wanting to bring up something that was a bit embarrassing but not really knowing how to. Celina had found a fondness for the Slytherin Prefect, and she believed it to be more than just friends as her and Felicity, or her and Drew were. Celina couldn't seem to help always laughing around him, smiling, and just plain feeling great. He made her forget the Prefectship, the constant banter of school and homework...everything that had ever seemed to worry her faded when she spent her time with him. That time, however, was even less than she spent with Felicity. Mostly classes, but that was still great because in a lot of her classes Connor had either sat next to her, or her by him...Celina didn't know how, or why, but she really did like the sixth year Slytherin.

However, just as she had gotten up the courage to begin to tell her friend, a noise was heard and Felicity placed her finger up to her mouth to shush her silently. She never got anything out about the boy at that time....Celina supposed another time would have to do. Listening, she heard the sizzling and followed her friend, grasping to the hand she gave gently and willingly let herself be pulled along. As Felicity opened the door just barely to the room of requirement Celina peeked over to the side not really sure of what she was seeing in the room.

"What's going on?" Celina whispered to the Gryffindor.

[seanna]

Not much was really going on inside the room of requirement. In fact, it was that quiet inside the room, that all Seanna was hearing was the sizzling of water boiling in the cauldrons. The book that Seanna was reading, was turning out to be a good one, it had plenty of new potions in it, some really hard ones and some really easy ones. Apart from the sizzling of the water, a scratching quill could be heard jotting down notes of different ingredients to the new potions.

Flipping the pages of the potions book over, if it wasn't for the words spelled out in bold letters, Seanna would've been sure to miss it. There it was! the perfect solution to the mess inside her room. The Huffle wasn't expecting to find anything to do with that potion, she had set out for this as a mere adventure of making new ones, but there it was and the Huffle had to take that as a sign that it was the perfect way to make something out of her failed love potion.

Seanna figured that it wouldn't hurt to try out the new potion either, figuring if she could make this one right, then if she added the right ingredients into her failed love potion, that she could turn it into a hate potion. Yes, a hate potion. Another potion that Seanna wasn't actually going to use on anybody, for this potion seemed to be irreversible, according to the notes from the book. The notes added that the potion also revealed a person's worst habits and faults, which was why Seanna thought it would be perfect to offset her love potion. Well, she hoped so anyway.

Taking the book over to the back wall lined with potions ingredients, Seanna began to take down the few ingredients needed for the hate potion. Dead rose petals, about five of them, some leeches, cut in half, rat's tails, and some other things that Seanna took down from the shelf and over to the desk near the cauldrons. Paying no mind to what was happening to the door, Seanna began to carefully cut up her potion ingredients, specifically to how the book said the potion ingredients should be, the Huffle was going to try and make sure this potion worked out well.

"It sounds like someone's cooking something," Felicity whispered to her best friend. In fact, it sounded exactly like someone was cooking, a slight sizzling (water boiling) that really reminded the blonde of cooking. But why would someone be cooking in there? It wasn't like food could just appear out of no where, and the kitchens were handier and accessible, so why in there?

And while she was confused about it, she figured that as Prefect, it was technically her duty to check in on things. If only it weren't Celina with her, then she might not actually bother because she would be doing something for her badge. Though, if she were with Drew, he'd likely talk her into checking up on it. And if she were with Tristan, it would be her job as well. She wasn't pleased with the situation.

Edging the door open a little more, Felicity stuck her head in and peeked around, wondering what was going on in the room and who was cooking. For a moment, she just watched, not really sure who it was she saw. But the honey-brown eyes did see a number of interesting things, hopefully she could bust someone and make them mad at her. Anything to help her get rid of the badge that was given to her. No one would understand why she didn't want it. And she needed to hurry and get rid of it before Raynor took advantage of the fact Felicity had one.

Pulling out from the room, Felicity turned to look at the Ravenclaw. "Was that the Hufflepuff?" another whispered question. Was it another Prefect, or could she get away with getting the person in trouble?

[Celina Jedynak]

(Sorry you guys…x-x)

Celina nodded as Felicity explained exactly what she was thinking. The sizzling and slight hissing did sound like it was something Celina would hear in her families kitchen, the two house elves they had cooking up something for one of the meals of the day. But as Celina continued to try and arch her neck around Felicity, she couldn’t quite make out who. It wasn’t until Felicity moved slightly, opening the door a little more where she caught the slightest bit of hint of who it could be. A brunette of sorts, but that was all she could see and when Felicity looked back at her and asked her if it was a Hufflepuff, Celina only shrugged.

“Well, go in, Felicity,” Celina said gesturing towards the door. “We won’t know until we knock or something.” Celina rounded her friend and knocked on the door, alerting whomever it was that they were there, the door slowly opening ever so much more to allow entrance.

“Hello?” Celina said sheepishly, just hoping it was a student and not some new professor or something.

[seanna]

After chopping up the ingredients and letting the water boil to the right specifications to what Seanna thought was perfect, she added the dead rose petals first into the boiling water. The potion book told her to do that first and wait until the water turned a dark black color and was slightly slick like, much like oil you used to make things go as they did before. According to the book, it was going to take at least a month for the potion to be right and be used for and Seanna was thankful she had found the Room of Requirement, maybe she could leave the potion in here for a month and not lug it down to the Hufflepuff common where it would end up in her room. The girl's room was already smelly enough.

It didn't take long for the water to turn a slick black color and next on the list of things to do was to add the leeches and rat's tails to the potion, the book said that adding them would then turn the potion a grey color, much like porridge did when it was left too long on a table. While she was waiting for the grey color to show up, Seanna set about getting the other ingredients ready that she needed.

Getting the Re'em blood from the shelf at the back, plus the runespoor eggs in which Seanna was surprised to see that certain ingredient inside the Room of Requirement, according to the rumors from when she was inside the Apothecary shop in Italy, they were running out of that ingredient, and fast. Though, when she thought of it, Seanna supposed she shouldn't be surprised, the Room of Requirement offered up anything the person inside wanted, after all. Finally grabbing the jar of dead spiders, Seanna went back to her boiling potion, glad to see that the slick black color had turned to grey.

Seanna began to take the spiders out of the jar, as she needed to cut the creepy insects in half, but looked up briefly when she heard a knock on the door and she began to wonder who was knocking and why. Hearing a familiar voice say hello after that, the Huffle grinned to herself. The voice sounded like the girl from Ravenclaw, Celina, the one with the cat who Percy seemed to be infatuated by. Quickly reaching the door, Seanna hid behind the door and poked just her head out from behind it, incase a Professor was out and about and incase, it wasn't Celina, after all.

Fortunately, for her, it was just Celina, and Felicity as well. Grinning at the two girls, she offered her own greeting of hello, before thinking she'd better get back to her potion. "Come inside!" Seanna said, opening the door wider for the two girls, her brown eyes quickly going back to the potion, the Huffle's nose was smelling something that really wasn't pleasant. "I'm just making a potion, but I don't know if it's working so well" Seanna explained, the smell really wasn't that good, but then, maybe it was supposed to smell that way, considering it was a hate potion and all.

[Felicity Hjort]

((So sorry ))

Surprised at Celina's brashness of actually getting the person's attention, Felicity couldn't help but laugh lightly. How many times was it that Celina was the brasher of the two? All right, so maybe that wasn't a very good question. Then again, the blonde was surprised her friend was pushing to see what was going on rather than hanging back like she did all too often at times, it made the lioness feel good that her friend had a bit of Gryffindor in her, if one went by stereotypes.

When the face behind the door lit up and started smiling, Felicity couldn't help but feel awful that she just couldn't remember the girl's name. Why was it so hard to remember such a pretty and at the same time simple name? And as the door opened further and they were welcomed into the 'humble abode' Felicity grabbed Celina's arm and pulled her in behind her. She liked the room an awful lot and the fact the Hufflepuff was making a potion made it all that much better.

"What potion are you making?" Felicity asked excitedly, making sure the door shut and latched so no one else could make it inside. Her freckled nose was fighting her to wrinkle, but she didn't want to seem rude about the smell. Actually, maybe they could figure it out together, both she and Celina took potions and did pretty well in the class, despite Celina's nervousness about not doing quite so well.

[seanna]

"Oh, it's nothing really. Just a hate potion" Seanna started to fidget just then, moving from one foot to the other when she mentioned that she was making a hate potion. The Huffle felt kind of awkward telling the two girls in front of her that it was a hate potion she was making, only because she was kind of anticipating what kind of responses she would get from the both of them, in her head. It wasn't everyday that someone came upon someone else making a hate potion in the RoR room.

Seanna was glad to see the door shut and the latch was in place, so no one else could come in. It was hard enough explaining to the girls what she was making, but if a Professor or someone else came and found her out, she wasn't sure how she would start explaining that she was making a hate potion to them. Plus the fact that the room held every possible kind of potion ingredient that one could think of, she was sure that fact probably wouldn't go down to well either, if a Professor caught her.

"I'm actually thinking that the potion is supposed to smell like that..." Seanna trailed off, her brown eyes looking over towards the big desk at the back of the RoR and she started to walk slowly over towards the back of the RoR. "The book I was reading said that it was supposed to be a grey color like porridge... maybe it's supposed to smell like off porridge as well?" Seanna asked the other two, reaching the desk and walking over to the cauldron, to see that it was a very grey color, then she lifted her brown eyes up to the other two girls in the room, her face showing confusion on it and a bit of apprehension as well.
