I walked into the room to find a dark room that had a comfy chair with a book in it sitting in front of a gentle fire. The door swung closed behind me and left the room in complete silence except for the crackling of the fire. I moved slowly to the chair, picked up the book, and put the book on the coffee table that appeared out of nowhere beside the chair. I than sat down on the chair and pulled my knees up to my chin. I looked deep into the fire, asking it for the answer to all of my problems. I saw the fire burning the wood and started to think.
'If I died then nothing could hurt me. I would be left in piece. No more pain, no one having the chance to continue hurting me. I'll have to die before any break, before I'm forced to go home. When though? When…? Well, why should I prolong the pain any longer? I'll die tonight. One way or another I will die tonight. How should I…? The turrets in the quidditch field. After all it will be something else for Ron and Harry to talk about that involves quidditch. It'll also be a direct and quick death; I don't want any more pain. And no one checks the quidditch field at night anyways…I hope. Until than I have to act like if nothing is going to happen, I have to act normal.'
I forced myself to my feet and looked down at the book that lay calmly upon the coffee table. From the Dark Into the Light looked up towards me, drowning me in its irony. For some reason, that I did not even really comprehend, I picked up the book and put it into my bag. I walked out of the room of requirements and moved down the old deserted corridors and hallways that no one but me went down anymore towards Gryffindor Tower. I walked up to the portrait of the dark lady. This portrait was one of my most favorite. The dark lady had the darkest midnight black hair and eyes with the rest of her skin being a soft alabaster color. The dark lady's lips were a divine sparkling pink and her body was elegantly built, tall but willow-ish. The clothes that the dark lady wore were a soft dark that gave the appearance of draping gracefully down her body to the ground while it clung to her every curve. The background of the picture showed a dark night with the lady standing on a ledge over a lake with the sky crying around her.
The picture of the dark lady was not well known of since it was hidden far beyond the halls that the other students traveled. This picture protected my rooms, the rooms that I hid from everyone else so that even I could have a place of solitude and peace.
"I welcome the darkness that no one else can see." I said softly to the dark lady.
She looked down upon me with her deep eyes that spoke of darkness and pain. Her gaze looked over me and analyzed me. Her portrait swung open and showed the door behind it. I walked through the door and into my rooms. The green and silver colors were easily seen around the room. The couch that sat in front of the fireplace shined with green and the table and chairs around the couch, all facing the fireplace, were matched the couch in color. The pillows on the couch and chairs were a softer green with sliver embroidery. On the ground there was a dark green rug that was embroidered with softer greens and different silvers and the walls were filled with books since the walls were made of bookshelves. There was a door at the other end of the room and I walked towards it, passing the couch and chairs on my left.
Once reaching the door it swung open, all of the doors in these rooms would open and close on their own, and allowed me to enter into the small dining room. There was a dark black table that could fit 10 people sitting in the middle of the room with dark black chairs, cushioned with green cloth. The walls were bare except for two doors and another fireplace. There was a beautiful silver chandelier hanging above the middle of the table and the table was decorated with a dark green cloth, elegant silver ware, and three evenly spaced spidery candles that sat in the middle of the table. The ground was decorated with the dark black stones that filled all of these rooms. Straight in front of me was the fireplace, to the right of me was the door into the Mistresses' quarters, and to the left of me was the door into the Master's quarters.
Once entering either of the quarters you would enter a hallway that had door along it. Both hallways had empty rooms that would be determined of what was held within due to the Master or Mistress who lived in that hallway. The Mistresses' hallway had a master bathroom on the first right, a huge library on the first left, a huge gym on the second right, a study on the second left, a big walk-in wardrobe on the third right, a saloon on the third left, and the master bedroom at the end of the hallway. The bathroom is filled with a bath that was a miniature pool, a shower that could fit 4 people in comfortably, a toilet, a counter, a sink, and a mirror. The huge library is like the library that you first entered through the dark lady portrait except there was an enchanted ceiling so that the ceiling was also filled with bookshelves that held books within them and there was only one door in the room. The gym is filled with a track, pool, dummies, various weapons, mats on the ground, various means of exercise, and mirrors along the wall. The study has file cabinets along the walls, a desk, a chair behind the desk, a couch in front of the desk, a fireplace behind the desk, and another dark green rug covering most of the ground. The wardrobe has a rectangular room that had all of the walls filled with clothes from thongs and teddies to cloaks and floor-length dresses, the only wall space that was not filled was the door that led into a room with mirrors on all sides so that you could see all of yourself, there was a pillar in the middle that was filled with shoes and accessories of all kinds, and the floor was covered with the dark green rug as well. The saloon has the same dark green rug on the ground, a large dressing table, cabinets filled with make-up and nail polish, bottles of perfume, a table made for full body massages that is magically gifted so that as soon as you lay on it you get a full body massage, and a small fireplace. The bedroom has the dark green rug on the ground, a fireplace, small bedside tables, a couch in front of the fireplace, a wall of bookshelves, a window with heavy curtains, and a canopy queen-sized bed. The hallway is also decorated with the dark green rug. All of the rooms were filled with the color scheme of greens and silvers.
I walked through the Mistresses' door and down the hallway to my study. I walked to my study and put my bag down on the desk. I had no more classes today so there was no point in carrying the bag around. I slipped the book out of the bag and put it into the inside pocket of my cloak. I than exited the room and walked out of my rooms, the dark lady's portrait closing behind me. I than made my way down the desolate and untraveled hallways to the Great Hall. I exited the untraveled hallways by walking through a specific place in the wall. I than walked down a semi-traveled hallway and turned right and then entered the Great Hall to take my seat at the Gryffindor table with Ron and Harry…
