*Things written in Italics is Zezu speaking while in his Familiar Form.
Chapter 1: The Visitor
"I'm soooo late. Why did you wake me up?" Scarlett said as she ran around her room, grabbing her things for school and yelling at her Familiar, Zezu, her broom in hand. It's twisty handle brushing her hands gently as she ran. Her room was in slight disarray as she searched for all she needed. Scarlett had accidentally overslept this morning, even though Zezu had tried to wake her.
"I tried but you just groaned, rolled over and tucked the covers over your head." Zezu said as he leaped onto his Mistress's shoulder as she ran out the palace doors, towards the Witching Academy. It was her first day at Witching Academy as she had taken the Witching Ceremony the day before and passed with flying colors.
She was so pleased when she passed the Witching Ceremony and gained both her broom and her Familiar. It was every Witch and Wizards worst fear that they would fail the Ceremony and be cast out of the Blooming City. She knew that the pressure was on her as she was the Princess. It was just expected of her to do things well, ever since she was old enough to walk and talk.
On her way, a spiralling, purple vortex opened beneath her feet, dragging Scarlett and Zezu inside and spitting them out onto hard, stone floor. A fire crackled in a nearby fireplace and she could see that it was somewhat late at night by how dark it was outside. The whole room seemed to be in red and gold colors, with pictures of strange people. In the middle of the room was a couch and chairs, all colored red.
"Owwww. Are you okay?" Scarlett said as she got up and picked up Zezu and her broom as she looked around. They were in what looked like a Common Room, but one Scarlett didn't recognise, and there was a boy nearby in a chair. Some of the portraits had moving people in them, though most were snoring loudly. The fire and torches casted shadows all around the room.
Terror flooded the young, fourteen year old girl. She couldn't comprehend what happened or where she was, and that scared her. Only that she was now in a strange place, more likely far away from where she was meant to go. Nothing looked familiar and only increased Scarlett's fear. Her fear made her breathing quicken and heart flutter, as well as making her hands clammy.
"Yes, are you?"The elder familiar replied, looking up worriedly at his Mistress. He could sense his Mistress's fear, putting him on edge as he looked around the room that they had landed in. It reminded him a little of the Common Rooms he had seen with his previous Masters but it was still one he didn't recognise. However, he could recall a memory of sorts when he spotted a banner with 'Gryffindor' written on it.
"I'm fine. Where are we?" Scarlett asked quietly, afraid.
"I have no idea." Zezu said, shaking his head sadly.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Scarlett said, finally talking to the boy figure. She was a little nervous as Zezu leapt up onto her shoulder. Since he had been summoned the day before, his most common place to be found was on Scarlett's shoulders as it made it easier to look around and stay close to her at the same time.
Hyrax looked up from his book, slightly startled and surprised by the new guest. Most of the Gryffindors had gone to bed already so truthfully he thought he would be alone. The boy was reading about Defense against the Dark Arts when he heard the noise. Slowly and carefully, Hyrax lowered his book to watch a rather interesting scene. He was slightly confused at first when he saw the girl land on the floor. He got up quickly and ran over to check on her. When she started to talk to the creature on her shoulder though, Hyrax titled his head slightly in confusion and amusement.
'A familiar perhaps?' was the thought process in his head. Hyrax turned his attention to the girl once again when she asked him the questions. "First, I am Hyrax, Gryffindor student. Second, you are at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Third, I hope I am not rude or anything but who are you exactly?" He rubbed his head a bit after asking his question. While he knew he was at Hogwarts and anything can happen, this was a new issue.
"Hogs Warts? I've never heard of that place before and I've studied places all over Witchinia. And you say it's a school? That's not possible. There is only two schools on Witchinia and those are Witchling Academy and Witching Academy. This is neither." Scarlett said quietly before realizing the boy asked her name.
"I'm Scarlett Embers, Princess of Witchinia, Goddess of Witchcraft and Magic and a First Year at Witching Academy. This is my Familiar, Zezu." Zezu's tail was swishing back and forth across Scarlett's chest as he lay on her shoulders. Scarlett's broom remained in her hands safely, but her knuckles were white due to how tightly she was gripping the broom.
"Witchling Academy? Witching Academy? What kind of places are those?" Hyrax asked confused. "And where is Witchinia. This is Great Britain or United Kingdom. Hogwarts is one of the many wizarding schools in the world. Built by our four founders, who each have a house named after them. Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw. Hogwarts is the best wizarding school in the world really."
Hyrax bowed a bit when he heard she was a Princess. "As for your titles, I am not sure how far those will get you in this place. Witchinia, wherever it is, has never been heard of before. And it's nice to meet you Zuzu. A familiar is a quite a proud companion, Winter is mine. For now, I will lend you Hogwarts : A History for you to read. Maybe that will explain things here." Hyrax nodded to himself. "Can you stay here for a moment?" He ran off to the boys dorm and searched his trunk for the book. He returned and handed the book to Scarlett. "Here. This has all you need to know about Hogwarts in it."
Scarlett was so confused as she listened to the boy and took the book.
"Legere Celeritate." She said, casting a quick, speed reading spell before flicking through the book, reading it at an astounding speed. She was done within two minutes and handing back to Hyrax. He stared at her in shock but shook it off.
"Okay, so what I've got from this is that I'm currently on the wrong planet. According to this book, I'm on Earth, but that's the tiny planet from the next galaxy over. I'm from Witchinia in the Aquila Galaxy." Scarlett said, partly panicking. Now Hyrax knew he has heard it all, but this explanation really took the cake. Was it even possible that there other planets or places that had life like Earth? He wondered if each one would have magic too, or was Earth and Witchinia the only ones. Hyrax always kept up with astronomy stuff, but he never heard of Scarlett's home.
Hyrax raised his eyebrows, noting to himself to learn that spell. He placed the book down and looked at Scarlett. "Well.. I would say that you are in a pickle. You are stuck on Earth until you find a way to your home in Witchinia." Hyrax sat and thought. "For now, we will pretend you are my sister. I am sure one of the girl Gryffindors have some spare robes for you to wear. Do you have a wand?"
Hyrax looked at what she was carrying and noticed the broom. He whistled at how nice it looked and looked back at Scarlett so she could answer his question.
"A wand? What do you mean? Do you use wands here? Wands are so rare back home." Scarlett said before realizing that he mentioned robes before.
"Wait! Do you mean I can't wear my dress? It was my last present from my parents, I'm not not wearing it. Maybe if you show me what the uniform looks like I could find an illusion spell to make it look like I'm wearing it?" Scarlett said.
"Wands are the only way we cast magic here. Well, there are other ways. But those are for the very advanced students in 6th year or above. Our robes is basically like mine. Black cloaks with grey shirt. Ladies get to wear a skirt, boys wear pants. Robes have a strip of color on the side showing what house you belong to." Hyrax explained.
He held out his wand that Ollivander had made. Just like all the first years, he got his on his trip to Diagon Alley at age of 11. The thing served him well in classes and outside of Hogwarts. He had only just gotten the Patronus charm down. "Illusionary magic is very difficult."
"That's so cool. All of you must be pretty powerful to need wands to control your magic. I nearly needed one but mama said that because I was a Goddess, I wouldn't need one." Scarlett said before nodding at the description of the uniform.
"Illusion Spells may be difficult for you, but we learn them in Third Year, so they can't be too hard." Scarlett said as she pulled a spellbook out and began to flick through it before stopping at a particular page. She quickly put her broom on her back, careful not to disturb Zezu before looking back at the spellbook.
"Procidat Deceptionem Vestimenta Mea." Scarlett said and in a shimmer, the illusion was cast.
"There, now only the people who know about the illusion, us, will be able to see my outfit, broom and hat simmer behind the illusion. To everyone else, it will look like I'm wearing the uniform." Scarlett said with a smile as she put the spellbook away.
"Interesting." Hyrax said. He glanced to see that she was right. "Ours just covers you like invisibility cloak. Makes it so that people will see what's behind you. I heard the feeling is like a egg dripping down your head. Yeah, we are told that wand chooses the wizard. " Hyrax stated. He wondered what wand would fit Scarlett. Hyrax grabbed his wand and cast 'Tempus'. The time appears in midair, stating it was almost 2 am.
"There is are some invisibility spells back home that work similar to what you talked about. Makes people not see you at all." Scarlett said, watching as Hyrax cast a spell that made the time appear in midair.
"Hey! That's just like our spell. See." Scarlett said before casting a spell.
"Tempest." She said, making the time appear in midair in golden writing. Scarlett found it so cool that the two spells were so similar.
Hyrax watched. " Interesting. Maybe our magic is similar yet different. I noticed your time was gold while mine was a fiery red. Hmm.. Let's see." He pointed his wand at a book. "Accio!" The book he was studying from zoomed from the table and into his hand. "Do you have a spell similar to this?" If she was going to be stuck, he thought he would need to teach her the magic of Hogwarts. In return, he hoped she would teach him.
Scarlett watched in awe as the book zoomed to Hyrax's hand.
"No, we don't. We have many Summoning Spells but none that do that." Scarlett said. She found it amazing and began thinking if it was possible to even be able to learn Earth Magic, because if so, she would love to learn.
Hyrax nodded. "First thing is first. We need you a spare bed. Then we have to get you a wand from Diagon Alley. Hopefully Professor McGonagall will be nice enough to do go along with our little fib." Hyrax stated. "We are going to pretend you are like my sister or niece from across the pond. "
"I'm not sure if a wand would be able to survive my Magic. My mama said that I couldn't have a wand due to my Goddesshood. Due to my Goddesshood, my Magic is very strong. I did try to use a wand once, but it kinda exploded." Scarlett said, a little guilty but had a huge grin on her face, before nodding.
"Okay, but you will have to help me quite a bit. I know next to nothing about Earth. The only thing I really know is what people know about Alexander Stone. He's a Septarian explorer who came to Earth around 1000 years ago, but no one figured out he wasn't human. I think his diary said something about him teaching at a Magic School on Earth that had something to do with boars, but we all just passed it off since we didn't think Earth had Magic at all. Apparently Alexander Stone taught dueling and was friends will some guy by the name of Salazar." Scarlett said.
"Hmm.. That is interesting. Salazar is one of the main founder of our school if you remember the book. His house, Slytherin, is known for its cunning and sly. As for the school with boars, well.. that is Hogwarts." Hyrax said. "And Mr. Ollivander may have something that will help you out. Here on Earth, every wizard and witch is required to have a wand. As I said, there are different ways to cast spells: Like silent and wandless. However, again those for advanced students. My favorite so far is the Patronus Charm. " Hyrax smiled a bit as he waved his wand. "Expecto Patronum". A silvery white owl flew out of his wand and around the room and out the window, fading away.
"Oh yeah, I remember reading about that. The Slytherin House is just like the Raxorth House at Witching Academy. My friend told me about it." Scarlett said before nodding.
"I just don't want another one to explode." Scarlett said as she watched in awe as he cast a spell that made a silvery white owl fly out of his wand.
"That's so cool." She said, before realizing something.
"I'm not sure if I can even do Earth Magic. My Witchinian Magic is different, so I'm not sure if I'll even be able to do the spells that you do." Scarlett said.
"There is only one way to know." Hyrax smiled. "You have to learn from the first year. But first, we need to find you a room. It's way past bedtime. We will talk to Professor McGonagall tomorrow." Hyrax yawned a bit and rubbed his back. "Lets get some rest sister. We have a long day ahead of us"
"Okay." Scarlett said with a small smile, before thinking of something.
"Wait. Are you not a first year too?" Scarlett asked. On Witchinia, a First Year at Witching Academy was fourteen. Was it different on Earth? At Hogwarts?
"And where will I stay?" She asked, feeling Zazu's tail flick back and forth across her chest
"No. I am fourth year. Hogwarts starts at age of eleven for first year and ends at age of seventeen for seventh year." Hyrax said. "As for staying, You could sleep in of the empty beds of the girls dormitory for the night." Hyrax noticed her size and was surprised she was fourteen. She can easily fool people in thinking she is a first year and shuddered at the thought of the innocent puppy eye look that she may try on others.
"I forgot something. Here, many use their parentage to get things. There are three types of blood lines: Pureblood, Half-blood and Muggleborn. Pureblood is self-explanatory. Your family has always been witches and wizards for years. Half-blood means one of your parents are a Muggle. Muggleborn is a family of Muggles that give birth to a wizard or witch."
"That's so weird. At Witching Academy, a First Year like me is fourteen" Scarlett said before getting confused.
"What's a Mug-all and why isn't everyone a Pureblood. Everyone on Witchinia has Magic. You make it sound like not everyone has Magic here." Scarlett asked, completely confused.
"Not everyone does. Muggles are the non-magic folk, or just the mundane basically. Our worlds are rather separate and distant. Especially since the witch burnings in Salem." Hyrax said, shivering. "Now that would be confusing for ages here. For age of fourteen is usually a fourth year here. And think of it as a school. You start at age eleven and end at age seventeen. That is basically like the muggle's version of middle school to high school." Hyrax stated.
"What is worst is the Wizarding Wars we have had in our community. People thinking that they can wipe the Earth of those who 'steal our magic'" Hyrax said with air quotes.
"Witch burnings?" Scarlett said, paling. She couldn't imagine anyone killing Witches just because they didn't have magic. She knew of people on other planets in the Aquila Galaxy that a few people didn't have magic, but she couldn't imagine anyone killing others just because they had magic or powers.
"That's so weird. So I would be a Fourth Year, here?" Scarlett said, purposely ignoring the last bit Hyrax said due to it scaring her.
"Many of the Muggles are scared of what we can do. There was a place in the States called Salem. The colonists would believe that anyone that did anything that was not normal that they were a witch. A lot of innocent women lost their lives. Sadly, our worlds are so separate due to fear. Fear of unknown that is." Hyrax said sadly then noticed the change.
"Right, and you would be in Fourth Year. However, your size and look should fool people enough to make them think you are a First Year. Let's not cling on to the past shall we? You got much to learn about Earthian magic. "
"I can tell. Earth Magic seems so cool but weird at the same time." Scarlett said excitedly.
"I can't wait to learn, even if I'm scared of being found out. Maybe we should go over our story once more? Just to make sure we've got the same story." Scarlett said.
"I agree. We would have to say that you are my younger sister or a cousin for across the pond." Hyrax thought. He closed his eyes to focus on an idea before smiling. "Okay. Our parents got divorced and went their separate ways. You went with mom and I stayed with dad. You didn't get your letter until now and just transferred here."
"You are a fifth year here, no? Have you never talked about your parents before? Because if you have, it would ruin our story." Scarlett said, half curious and half worried. In order to fit in, she needed this to work out. She couldn't be found out. She needed to remain a secret.
"I have talked to them. Seen them letters all the time." Hyrax said. "I am here to help you and want to teach you our magic." Hyrax smiled a bit. "I will be here for you to help in any problem."
"Thanks. I know hardly anything about Earth but I'm willing to try. When do we begin?" Scarlett asked, smiling. She was nervous that she would mess up but glad that Hyrax would help her.
"Oh, and should I change my last name or would I be alright keeping my full name the same?" She asked, remembering that important question.
Hyrax smiled a bit. "You can change your last name if you want sis. First, we would need to get you a wand from Ollivander's. At least for show...in case people get curious. We don't want that to happen. Then, I will lend you my first year books so you can read a bit on some the spells we learned. Maybe you can sit in on a class or two with some Gryffindors. "
"Well, if I was to go with mama, then perhaps she took back her maiden name and I began to call myself by it too?" Scarlett suggested. She wanted to keep her last name as it would be one less thing she had to remember.
"Where is this Ollivander's place anyway?" Scarlett asked before continuing.
"Thanks. I'm gonna have to look and see if I can find similar spells that I can compare them too. And sitting in some classes would be interesting." Scarlett said
"Ollivander's is located in Diagon Alley. That is going to be an issue to go there. We usually have to get permission from our Head of House to do so. And telling a teacher about you is well... going to be complicated." Hyrax said rubbing his head. Hyrax paced the Common Room thinking how he was gonna to help his 'sister'.
"I don't know any way to get to this dia-gon alley place. Maybe we should come up with a story for why I'm here and I don't have a wand yet?" Scarlett said as Zezu's tail flicked back and forth across her chest. Her hands were rested on her broom's twisted handle as she sat down on one of the couches.
Hyrax thought about it. "Sounds good. We have all night anyway." Hyrax smiled a bit. "I'm sure we can come up with a brilliant idea. And hopefully a way to get you home."
"Yeah. And once I get back home, I'm going to go talk to one of my friends and see if I can get a set of portable viewing portals for us so we can still talk. It may just be a story, but your just like the big brother I've always wanted but never had." Scarlett said as she sat there, thinking. She then grinned.
"What if just before people begin to get up, we go down to the entrance of the school? You could say that as you were walking around that part of the school, you saw me there and recognized me. I could say that mama dropped me there with my letter, which we could forge, and that now I'm attending Hogwarts. What do you think? Do you think it would work?" Scarlett said.
"That works Scarlett. You are brilliant witch! We just need to forge your letter and a note from our mother but it works." Hyrax beamed. He took out some paper and quill. He dipped the quill in the ink and started to write a note from their mother. "Lets see... what else to make it look real."
Hyrax smiled and sighed happily. He glanced at his sister now in all but blood. He wanted and hoped they would continue talking even after she left. "That would be nice Scarlett. I heard tale of an object that is like that. I don't know what it is called sadly."
Scarlett blushed at the compliment just a little.
"Thanks." She said before thinking.
"Well, we're going to need to explain the situation in the letter, along with a signature at the bottom. Perhaps mention that they wouldn't be able to contact her so that they don't go looking for personal guarantee?" Scarlett suggested.
"Really? I didn't think that there'd be anything like that here." She said with a smile and a surprised look on her face. She really liked Hyrax. He was like the brother she never had but always wanted. Her entire life she had wanted a big brother after seeing most of her friends having siblings themselves.
Hyrax wrote the letter to Dumbledore, explaining about his 'little sister' Scarlett, all they could hear was the scratching of the quill on parchment. Once finished, he handed it to her to read. "See if this is good. I got plenty of parchment if I messed up." Then Hyrax went up to his dorm and pulled out some Chocolate frogs, handing her one. "Here, try this"
Taking the letter while Hyrax goes up the stairs, Scarlett quickly read through the letter and by the time he returned, she was done.
"Thanks. What is it?" She said, taking the offered thing.
"And the letter's awesome. I hope it works." Scarlett said, as she handed the letter back.
Hyrax put the letter down to dry. "This is a chocolate frog. a delicious treat here in the Wizarding world. They are charmed chocolate frog-shaped candy that can jump like a real frog. Each one has a famous witch or wizard from our world on it. It's better than Bertie Botts Beans." Hyrax shivers at the thought of what happened last time he ate those.
"Cool. We don't have anything like that back home. Only normal chocolate, though makes the best chocolate I've ever tasted. Rose is a friend of mine's Grandma from Septarin who makes the best chocolate in all of the Aquila Galaxy. Remind me that once I get home, I need to get some to send to you." Scarlett said as she opened the chocolate carefully, barely catching the moving chocolate before it leapt away completely. Taking a bite, her eyes lit up.
"It's really good." She said with a smile as she noticed a card down the bottom of box that the chocolate came from. Taking it out, it was pentagon shaped, purple card rimmed in gold. The name Alexander Stone was written across the bottom. Flipping it over, she noticed a short paragraph on the back.
Alexander Stone, also known as The Hidden Founder of Hogwarts, was a powerful wizard in times unknown. He assisted in the creation of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was the first dueling Professor with skills that challenged his fellow founder, Godric Gryffindor.
Without a word, Scarlett slid the card into her pocket to keep it safe. She was planning on showing it to her friends once she found a way back to Witchinia. Until then, she would protect it. However, if she looked again, the picture of Alexander Stone had vanished.
Hyrax smiled. "Chocolate is the best. And it doesn't hurt to have when you are feeling under the weather. They also help you when Dementors are around." Hyrax paled at the dementors that he had heard about before. How they were stationed at Hogwarts before. "That and the Patronus charm are only things to protect you from those fool creatures. Enough of that sad stuff though.'
"Yeah." Scarlett agreed that chocolate was the best and was good when you were feeling under the weather but that's where she got confused.
"De-ment-ors? What are those?" She asked, really confused.
"Dementors. They are known as the guardians of the prison called Azkaban. they are foul creatures that feed on happiness. It is said that if you get there them, the air goes cold and feels like every happy was being sucked from the area. They can perform something called the 'Dementors Kiss'. They say that someone who had it happened to them was nothing but a shell...no emotions."
"Ugh. Sounds bad. I really don't want to meet them. There isn't a chance I'll meet them, right?" Scarlett asked, a little worried. They sounded really bad and dangerous and she didn't know any spells that might even work on something like that.
"Of course not. But if you use any of the Unforgivable Curses, its a one-way ticket and a date with those creatures." Hyrax said. "Our world has rules, but these are the most important: Don't break the Statute of Secrecy. Don't cast magic outside of Hogwarts. Don't cast any of the Unforgivable Curses." He stated. He nibbled on his chocolate frog to calm his nerves.
"Unforgivable Curses? What are those? I've never heard of anything like that before." Scarlett said, before getting even more confused.
"What is the Statue of Secrecy? Why can't you cast magic outside of Hogwarts?" Scarlett asked, utterly confused. There were just so many things in this world that she didn't understand.
"There are three spells known as the Unforgivable Curses. The Imperius curse can cause the person to perform the unquestioned bidding of the caster. Basically, they control your mind. The next is Cruciatus curse. It inflicts pain that is said to feel like a thousand knives. The last spell is the Killing Curse. It can cause instant and painless death, usually seen by a green light. All three are dark magic. Something not to mess with. " Hyrax replied as he paused for a drink.
"Statute of Secrecy, or International Statute of Secrecy, is a law here in our wizarding world signed back in the 1600s , this is to safeguard us against the Muggles and hide our magical communities. I mean Platform 9 and 3/4 is located at Kings Cross Station at an invisible barrier. It's basically why we can't cast magic. The wizarding world is afraid of a repeat of the Salem Witch trials." Hyrax stated sadly.
"Why hide magic? Why can't you find a way that the muggles can accept you all and you wouldn't have to hide? Isn't there some way to make peace?" Scarlett said, completely confused. While she did remember the conversation before about Salem, but she didn't really understand some parts of this. Why couldn't they just make peace?
"What time is it, anyway? Is it nearly morning?" She asked.
"I wish it was that easy sis. Muggles fear the unknown. Wizards fear another witch burning. Some of the Purebloods are so high about themselves that they look down on the Muggles as nothing but dirt. They have a name for those who are Muggleborn but I am not going to say it. What's scary is sooner or later, we will be found. I mean the Muggles went to the Moon in 1969. There are satellites in the Earth's orbit, mapping out the Earth. I don't know how big the protection spell is for Hogwarts, but i doubt it goes all the way up into space." Hyrax said
"I didn't think was that advanced yet, to get to their moon. That's pretty cool." Scarlett said, hoping to change the topic to something else.
"What time is it, anyway? Is it nearly morning?" She asked, repeating her question from before.
Hyrax thought and waved his wand. "Tempus. There we go. 2:49 am UK time". Hyrax yawned a bit, he smiled at Scarlett. "Tired yet?"
Scarlett yawned.
"A bit, but I'm also kinda nervous and excited. Nervous that this will work but excited to try this out. Oh, where will I stay tonight? I can't exactly go into the Dorms tonight, not without being caught." Scarlett said.
Hyrax thought. He needed a place for her to sleep and not get caught. "There is a room on the seventh floor. Its known as the Come and Go Room. I heard that it will suit to anyone's need." Hyrax grabbed his wand and tapped the back of the entrance. The portrait opened and he walked thru. "Come on. We need to be quick. Filch could be doing rounds and we don't want to be caught."
"Okay." Scarlett said, following Hyrax. But before she stepped outside the portrait door, Scarlett looked down to check that her illusion was still in place. It was as she saw her normal outfit shimmer behind the illusion. Adjusting her broom so it was straighter on her back.
"Zezu, disappear." Scarlett said, and Zezu nodded, making himself invisible to all non-Witchinians.
"We're ready." Scarlett said, finally stepping out of the portrait door.
Hyrax walked up the stairs to his right, keeping glancing for any trouble. He smiled as he lead her to the seventh floor corridor. He walked past a painting. "We have to walk psat this place three times while thinking of the same thing. A place to for you to stay safe till tomorrow." Hyrax stated. He pointed to the empty wall that seemed normal.
She followed Hyrax all the way to the wall. Doing what was advised, Scarlett walked passed that specific spot three times, each time thinking;
'A secret place to stay safe for the night.' After the third time, a door appeared. Smiling, she opened the door to reveal a rather basic room.
"It's pretty nice in here. Not too bad." Scarlett said, stepping inside.
It was a circular room with a dome-like roof and three short layers to the floor, kind of like stairs. On on side of the room was a fireplace, with the walls around it filled with books. On the opposite side of the room, an old fashioned writing desk. And in the centre of the room, a four poster bed made of dark wood, the curtains and bedsheets a light indigo. Just in front of the bed, a large, white chest of drawers. Dotted specifically around the room, beautiful, wall mounted candles, each with matching, elegant designs.
"No one will be able to find you here unless you wish it. This room, also called the Room of Requirement, will always chance to meet whoever passes needs. As long as you keep your thought the same, the room should stay safe for you." Hyrax said.
"That's so cool. Thanks Hyrax." Scarlett said as she made her was over to her bed, allowed her illusion to fade and her normal outfit to be seen completely.
"I'm gonna get some sleep before morning. Tomorrow's going to be big, after all." Scarlett said with a yawn, flopping back first onto the bed after putting her broom to the side. Zezu barely was able to jump off in time. Kicking off her boots and throwing her hat off, Scarlett curled up onto her side. She was too tired to even bother to summon some pajamas.
Hyrax chuckled and walked out of the room quietly. He closed the door behind him and snuck back to the Gryffindor Common Room. After having to wake up the Fat Lady, he told her the password and walked in. The door shut behind him as he made his way to his bed. He crawled in his bed and feel asleep as quickly as Scarlett did.
