Chapter 32: The Room of Requirement.
It became the next morning, and Ash woke up to a lot of talking from the common room, as did Rhea.
'What's all the noise?' Groaned Rhea
'Must be all about that thing with Priya today' Said Ash getting up
'What thing with Priya?' Asked Rhea
'Didn't she tell you? We're all meeting in the room of requirement…' Said Ash
'Well, me and Priya don't really get on that well you see…' Sighed Rhea
'Oh well, you have to come anyway because the whole group is going!' Smiled Ash
'SID!' Screamed Rhea before getting out of bed and then pulling Ash and then running downstairs to the common room where they saw the whole group standing around Priya.
'Oh Rhea, you finally came down!' Smiled Sid as he let go of Priya's hand to get closer to Rhea
Rhea sighed as she saw what happened…
'Come on Ash, we have to go up and get ready' Rhea sighed as she grabbed Ash and then went up
'What's the matter Rhea?' Whispered Ash
Rhea looked down and sighed 'Nothing… It's fine'
'No Rhea. I know when something is the matter with you so tell me!' Replied Ash as she sat down
'Didn't you see Sid holding Priya's hand?' Sighed Rhea
'No… When was this?' Asked Ash
'Only a few minutes ago!' Shouted Rhea
'I'm sure it's-' Ash said before she got interrupted
'I AM NOT HAVING THAT IDIOT HOLDING HANDS WITH MY BOYFRIEND' Screamed Rhea
'Thank god the walls and doors are soundproof here…' Ash said under her breath
'What did you say?' Said Rhea
'Nothing…' Said Ash, sounding a little scared of her own best friend
'Sorry, I somehow can't help these…' Sighed Rhea
'It's fine… Sid-' Ash stopped
'Sid what?' Shouted Rhea
'Sid… Sid… Sid said that you he really loves you' Smiled Ash
'Yeah, if he did, he would leave that puta Priya alone…' Sighed Rhea
(Instead of using bad words, I am going to be using Spanish to fill in the bad word!)
'I know, but their just friends right?' Said Ash
'THEY MIGHT BE. THEY MIGHT BE MORE' Screamed Rhea
'But you know how much Sid loves you right?' Smiled Ash
'Yeah… I know but… I don't know' Sighed Rhea
'Let's just see what happens today okay? Now I'm going to go get changed and you should as well' Smiled Ash
Ash stood up and went to get changed, but Rhea didn't move she stayed sitting in a deep thought and she heard everyone scream downstairs and everything but didn't know what it was about, all she knew inside she was getting very angry, and eventually it was going to come out… But eventually Rhea was ready and so was Ash and they went down to join the group so they could all go to the room of requirement. Ash and Rhea then went down to join everyone when they saw… The common room was empty and everyone had gone to the room of requirement without them…
'Hey look there's a note!' pointed Ash
Ash and Rhea both went up to the note and they opened it, the note said:
Ash and Rhea, you took WAY too long getting ready, so we decided to leave without you. SORRY ABOUT THAT (Ash) Well if you need us, come try and find us on the fifth floor. GOOD LUCK, you'll need it. Oh and Sid was the first one who said we should leave. Priya.
Rhea went red and the anger inside was building up…
'What's the matter Rhea?' Said Ash
Rhea went back to normal and then said 'Oh nothing!'
'Do you want to go and find them then?' Asked Ash
'Okay, let's go to the fifth floor!' Smiled Rhea
Ash and Rhea went from the common room and then straight out running to the fifth floor. They searched all around but they just couldn't find the room of requirement! They asked people around and all they replied was that they didn't know what the room of requirement was, the room of requirement hasn't been seen for ages or BUZZ OFF (Obviously the Slytherins or some people who didn't even like Ash or Rhea)
Worn out, 12 minutes later, Ash and Rhea came to a halt at a big wall and they sighed as they couldn't find it… Until…
'What's that noise?' Asked Rhea looking at Ash
Ash pointed to the wall and as Rhea looked, two large doors formed in front of them.
'THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT!' Said Ash
'Come on, let's go in' Sighed Rhea
Rhea and Ash then walked into the room of requirement… It looked like a newly decorated room, but had an awful smell of burning. There was a crowd in the middle! There was James, Sid, Rachel, Fi, Poppy, Raj, Shane, Lola, Lisa, Priya and others in the middle. They were all talking until the door closed with a loud noise and they all turned to look at Ash and Rhea.
'Hi…' Ash said nervously
'Seriously, what are you all looking at?' Shouted Rhea
Everyone shrugged and went back to what they were doing, except Sid and James.
'Priya, give me a few minutes, I need to talk to Rhea!' Sid said to Priya moving away
'I'll come as well…' Said James behind Sid
They reached Rhea and Ash and Rhea looked a little furious, and Ash looked slightly worried, mainly because her best friend was getting a little too angry, well jealous.
'Hey Rhea, hey Ash!' Said Sid
'Hey Sid!' Said Ash looking at Sid but then turning to look at James
'Hello Sid' Rhea said looking away
'What's wrong?' Sid asked
'Oh, don't you dare ask me what's wrong Sid Raichand' Rhea was furious
'Do you want to just talk in private?' Asked Sid calmly
'Okay sure, as long as private means Priya isn't in the conversation' Sighed Rhea
Rhea and Sid walked off for a small chat while they left James and Ash alone…
'So what's up with Rhea?' Asked James
'Why do you ask?' Ash said nervously
'She looked pretty angry…' Replied James
(Conversations from Rhea and Sid to James and Ash are going to swap around)
'Seriously Rhea what is the matter with you?' Asked Sid
'I honestly have no clue why I'm getting so angry all the time but WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?' Rhea had a chance in tone
'I want to know because I love you Rhea, I want to know what the matter is' Sid put his hand on Rhea's shoulder
'Yeah… You remember what Sid told you before?' Said Ash
'About her…?' Asked James
'Yeah, I think it might have to do with that…' Ash sighed
'Well, to be honest you should ALREADY know what the matter is with me' Shouted Rhea before looking down
'Fine then, don't tell me, but I have something to tell you tonight, something important, something which I think will change your life' Sid sighed and turned around
'Oh fine, just go off to that weirdo Priya' Said Rhea
'Wait, Priya?' Asked Sid
'YES PRIYA, YOU'RE NOT DEAF, YOU CAN HEAR ME!' Shouted Rhea (Thank God that there were more people talking so no one really heard Rhea)
'OH… Don't you think Sid should tell her then?' Asked James
'I don't know… But if he doesn't tell her, I will, I mean at times her eyes go a green colour as well' Replied Ash
'Do you think we should tell Sid to tell her?' Asked James
'Definitely…' Replied Ash
'Why do you have such a big problem with Priya?' Asked Sid
'Well, you tell me! WHY WOULD I HAVE A PROBLEM?' Said Rhea
'I don't know, you shouldn't really have any problem with her' Replied Sid
'Pshhh… Sid, you should think about what she's doing, think from my point of view, think how I feel, but I guess you just don't want to look further, I don't want to explain anything anymore Sid, find out for yourself' Sighed Rhea and walked away
As soon as Rhea walked away, she heard someone coming closer to Sid, and she stopped and listened in to who it was!
'What was all that about Sid?' Said a voice
'Oh nothing Priya… Nothing' Sighed Sid
Rhea had a feeling to go over and do something drastic, behind her, Priya was close to Sid and was looked straight at Rhea, and how her reaction would be. On the other side, Ash was facing Rhea and saw what was happening. Rhea started clenching her wrist and she closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were bright green, before anything else could happen…
'Rhea!' Shouted Ash
'Oh hey Ash!' Rhea went back to normal
'I think we should get out of here, its not good for you!' Sighed Ash
'Why?' Asked Rhea
'Because you're slightly getting a little angry here, and I have bad claustrophobia' Said Ash
'Okay then lets go!' Said Rhea
'I'll see you later James…' Said Ash
'See you Ash… And oh! You'll get your reply later…' Smiled James
Ash nodded and she left the room of requirement with Rhea.
