Searching for the RoR

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka was sitting on the steps of the Entrance hall with one leg crossed over the other. She chose to ware the skirt that she had worn the day they where talking about this for no particuler reason other than she found it comfterble. This time it was coupled with a pure white button up vest and beaded sandals to match the polished stones she had put in her hair. She didn't see much of a point in searching for the Room of Requirement in her uniform.

While she knew that Mike, Andy and Violet had been looking for it all this time a seres of events made it so that Zazuka had not been involved most of the time. That was about to change. Her headaches where getting better and she also wanted to spend some time with Brian who seemed to be going to great lainghs to avoid her.

Zazuka thought this strange. Most of her friends knew and accepted the fact that she had these abilities and while she couldn't control them she was a relativity normal person. Zazuka found herself thinking about Brian a lot lately and how he had seemed to change. While Zazuka often let her mind wonder over her friends, her schoolwork, life in general, it was odd for her to think of any particular person as of late. Even Andrew who's bracelets she was waring to play off the earings that she had chosen to ware didn't hold her attention very long.

That was partly due to the fact that she didn't often see him anymore. It seemed to Zazuka that he had grown bored with her. She sighed. Zazuka could feel it ending soon. Even though she knew that she should be sadder about this her mind kept directing her to the siriose boy that had just found out about her abilities. Zazuka looked up. Why was it that her eyes seemed to follow him again whenever he walked out of class. It was as if she didn't know where he was going. It was almost as if...

Quickly Zazuka dismissed that thought. She could be growing feelings for Brian again. That ship sailed lest year. She was over it. Wasn't she? Zazuka moved her foot making the skirt flare a little as she looked up again her glass covered eyes scanning for Brian who she had told she would be here for their expedition.

Brian entered the Great Hall with a mission and that was to look for the come and go room, they had searched for the room before but that had been unsuccessifull as Brian quickly grabbed a peice of toast and looked around trying to think. Brian had found clues that seemed to hint as to where the room might be but nothing seemed concrete which made looking for the room that much harder. He looked at the map he'd finished last night and had to admit that while it was pretty basic it did suit their needs. Brian had marked a few secrete passageways and figured that they wouldn't change anytime soon, even if they did it didn't make too much of a difference for the young Ravenclaw.

Brian saw Zazuka and had at first felt a bit nervous but then changed his mind, after all as long as he kept his focus on finding the room there was nothing she could do. Zazuka had made it clear to him that her ability wasn't fully developed which meant that she could probably only feel top emotions and not deep ones. Brian focused his mind on trying to find the room of requirements as he walked up to Zazuka "I think we should check the sixth floor first" Brian said as he smiled at her, "when I was looking for clues in the library something hinted that at some point there was something up there and then vanished" Brian said pointing at a spot on his map.

Brian wasn't sure if the plan was going to work since searching for the room had been there goal for about three years now and they had never found it. They were closer than they had been before and definately had more people involved but it didn't mean that they were certain to find the room "also if we can't find the room today we should try asking around, perhaps some of the Professor know about it" Brian suggested as he looked on his map trying to figure out which areas Andromeda, Michael, and Violet would be looking "where's Andrew?" Brian asked wanting to seem polite and not at all bitter about Zazuka's current boyfriend.

Zazuka's heart seemed to soar when she saw Brian coming for some reason. Zazuka forced her feelings down dismissing them as something she had picked up from someone else. What number of people in the school didn't have crushes and thoughts of being in love. It seemed like most of the first years and over where holding hands already. It most curtenly had to be that. There was no way she was... "That's a good plan though I thought it would be kind of funny if it where on the ground floor and no one even knew about or what if the room moves from floor to floor making an apperence on when someone needs it?" She said her voice getting dreamy. There wasn't a thing that wasn't possible in this school so what would be so odd of a room that moved from floor to floor.

Zazuka could not get passed all the gloom in the school. It was only natural with the death still so fresh in everyone's mind. The thing was that Zazuka could feel it all and it brought her down considerably. There where times when she would be sitting in the library and just sulking which is something that she would never do on her own. Zazuka had been looking forward to this because she also wanted to do something fun. "We could ask around but a doubt any of the teachers will tell us without good reason. There has to be a reason for it to be so magically protected after all." She said again letting her mind go off in though.

She hoped that Brian wouldn't get annoyed with her for letting her mind wonder on it's own because she couldn't often help that. Her thought lead to others which seemed to take her on an endless joury on their own. Brian brought her back down to earth when he mentioned Andrew. "I don't know. Again I haven't seen him at all I'm starting to think that Mallory changed his school and he never thought to tell me. That or I'm just such a bore that he can't stand to be around me for to long." She said with a sigh. Zazuka lifted up the book bag at her side deciding to move on to brighter note. "I brought sandwitches and sweets in case this takes a really long time and we get hungry." she said with a bright smile.

"It's very possible that the room is able to move from floor to floor" Brian said looking over his map. "As far as I know however the sixth floor had no secrete passageways, this one here like to move between the second and the fourth floor" Brian said showing her as well. Brian had enjoyed making the map but even more had he enjoyed animating it. "My guess would still have to be that it's somewhere on the sixth floor and that if we look hard enough it might appear for us" Brian said looking more intently trying to find something in the map that might help them to succeed even quicker, they had spent years looking for it yet today might be the day for the lot. Brian hoped that it would be him and Zazuka that found the room but would be just as excited if it was the other three.

"We can ask the Professors' however we have to know how to ask them, we can't say it just right out of the box" Brian thought about the rumors that surrounded the room that comes and goes. "We could definately as Professor London about it and make it seem like we're interesting it the princibles of time and space and how the magic can be contained inside one room" Brian said as he thought some more "Professor's Glasson could tell us the history and how it came about in this old castle and Professor King can tell us the dangers of what would happen if someone bad found it" Brian said figuring that with the information they gathered from so many professor's they could peice something usefull together "We could even as Professor Lloyd about the charms and enchatments such a room would need, least if we can't find the room of requirements we could make one" Brian added with a slight laugh. Little peices of information by themselves might be useless but together they might hold the holy grail!

Zazuka's attentioned turned towards the Andrew question. Brian did feel bad that he had brought it up since they probably could've used the third body in this investigation. "I'm sorry to hear he's been acting so private, it happens" Brian said not really sure how to answer it yet using logic as his deductive reasoning as time in a relationship continues there are bound to be some space issues. Perhaps he just needed a break to refuel his engines, every few years his own parents would take seperate vacasions since they live and work together, they said 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' It was a pretty good quote and it seems to work for them, Brian wasn't so sure it would work for Zazuka and Andrew. "Good idea on the snacks, we could be at this for a while" Brian responded with a smile.

Zazuka nodded. She wanted to believe that she really did. That Andrew at the end of all this would come back to her. Zazuka wasn't the kind of girl that demanded all his attention but she did need some of it. This seperation was a little too much for Zazuka. She let it go grabbing on to map Brian was holding. "Yes well I did find a passage way on the seventh floor but it's a bit of a one way street. It's there when your comeing down off the towers but gone if you want to get back up." She said remembering the one time she took it.

Zazuka thought for a bit on the diffrent professor they could ask. "Good idea. It would look like we're intrested in the mechanics of the school reather than finding this seeming legendary room. As well as looking very Ravenclaw. She said with a small laugh. "We might want to get started on the search though there's bound to be some clues we could find around here." She said heading up the steps. Her headache, which she had hoped would wait until the day was over, came back and seemed to be making up for lost time.

There was a moment of pain that she was aware of then nothing. Though Zazuka's body was still standing. Where anyone to look in her eyes they would say that they had gone dead. Pitch black but without the galixy that usually hovered inside them. Then came the cry. Her body reacted as if she had been punched in the stomach. Words started to spill from her lips that should have been forean to her her tongue but flowed as if they where in her native language. Whatever stuck seemed to do it again but she didn't stop talking. Latin seemed to be what she was speacking. This time she was channaling the past rather than the future this time. The crys became constent making speack though gritted teeth. It looked like something was trying to stop whatever Zazuka was channaling from talking. Her back arched making look like whatever was attacking her had moved one to that area.

Had any tried to help her she would never know because Zazuka was not there it seemed but whatever was talking and it was pulling away from everything as if the very walls would burn her. Finally, cheast heaving and seeming to run out of steam, Zazuka let out one slow shaking breath then droped like a puppet cut from is strings. A sicking crunch seemed to echo though the room as her body landed on her arms the wrong way on the stares.

"That exactly what I mean, some of these passages seem to be set up just to play tricks on us" Brian said as the pair began walking, it would've been too easy to walk right passed the room and not even know it was there, Brian hoped such a thing wouldn't happen since he was very keen on finding the legendary come and go room. It wouldn't be impossible to find a room that would be there one moment and gone the next however it just be some ordinary Castle Trick and not the actual room. "I wonder who built the Room of Requirements and how?" Brian thought figuring that it took quite an impressive feat of magical capabilities to pull off something like that. Brian wondered if even with the combined effort of the five if they would be able to recreate the room somewhere that was easier to find.

Then began walking towards the stairs when Zazuka mentioned they they should get started and find some clues, something Brian wasn't sure just how many they would find. He himself had spent quite a few hours in the library reading up only to find nothing that would lead to them actually 'finding the room' other than the fact that a map of the school may help. It was actually kinda annoying that they should have so much difficulty when others had been able to find it with much greater ease. Even Andromeda had discovered the room back in their first year before it had suddenly vanished and hasn't been seen since. Brian had been jealous of Andromeda at the time and a bit mad that she hadn't taken him with her to see the room.

Then Zazuka seemed to stop moving, Brian looked over at her to see why she had stopped only to see something that made his stomach lunge forwards but still leaving his body behind. Something was wrong with Zazuka. "Are you okay" Brian said gently shaking her so as to try and snap his friend out of whatever it was that was happening. Something weird happened as Zazuka began speaking in tongues, Brian guessed that it was latin or Arabic but didn't know either of the two languages and wondered how Zazuka knew them. "Come on Zazuka you need to snap out of it, remeber where you are" Brian said trying to wake her from whatever trance his friend seemed to be in, Brian didn't understand what would've brought this on but knew that it couldn't be a coincidence to the secrete she had finally let him in on a few days before.

Brian grabbed her as she suddenly dropped like a rag doll onto the ground to ensure that she didn't hit her head however this brought him down with her. Brian heard the crunch and could feel Zazuka's chest heaving as if something heavy had very recently been placed on it and then removed. Brian looked at her trying to find out if she was back to her normal self or not. It was definately a normal day at Hogwarts when a simple day could turn into something very much not normal even by wizarding world standards.

Zazuka's eyes where closed, her head had dropped on his shoulder. She was out like a light. It usually happened after these things happened to her. Her left arms was sticking out in an odd angle though. It had broken upon impact with the stares. Her head was empty though. Blissfuly empty. She didn't know what she had just channeled but it seemed to have been all worked out of her system. Her body was limp now, weather it was easy for Brian to move depended on who strong he was because Zazuka was putting up no risistence.

Peace. This was what Zazuka had been trying to achieve for days now. Ever since the headaches started to last though out the day, ever since felt that drowning sadness out by the lake she had been trying to achave peace of mind. When she was going to wake up she didn't know but she hoped it wasn't soon. Even if a pleasant sent was reaching her senses from the world around her. Why was she still connected to the world around her if she was sopped to be knocked out from the trance? The next moment it didn't matter. She was just there.
