Inside the mysterious room is what appears to be a joke shop. But not just any joke shop, this is Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Rose gapes in amazement, baffled by how this could be happening. 

  She walks around, looking up and down the shelves until she heard voices coming from behind a shelf. She goes around the corner to see Fred and Roxanne stuffing things in a bag they had with them. 

  "Hey!" Rose shouts.

  The siblings whirl around to see her, and they stare in shock.

  "How did you get here?!" Roxanne asks.

  "I followed you. What is this place-?" Then it hits her.

  "It's the Room of Requirement, silly," Fred says, rolling his eyes.

  The Room of Requirement, she thinks. I've read about this! It changes to fit your needs!

  "Don't tell on us though," Roxanne says.

  "I won't. Promise." Rose nods.

  Fred looks around. "Do you need anything?"

  She shakes her head. "Only sleep. Good night."

  She walks out, the door disappearing behind her. She takes a mental note of where the room is and heads off to bed.


  Rose doesn't mention anything about the Room of Requirement to anyone, not even her cousins. They are thankful for this, of course, and they begin to think that she's just forgotten about it. But she hasn't.

  She keeps thinking about it, wondering what she'll see when she opens the magical door that night.  


  Rose looks around the empty hallway, moonlight spilling in from the tall windows lining the corridor. She walks down the hall, keeping a mental note of where the room was.

  After a little while, she comes to a long stretch of bare wall; she grins. Walking in back and forth in front of it with closed eyes, she thinks over and over again: my greatest need, my greatest need, my greatest need.

  She does this several times, but to no avail. She huffs, frustrated, and closes her eyes once more.

  My desire, my desire, my desire.

  She opens her eyes...

  And a stone door appears. She rushes to it, pushing it open and disappearing inside.


  I hope you're enjoying this! Sorry I haven't written in a little while; I've been busy with school. Today I'm sick, so I thought I could use the extra time to write a bit. Stay safe!
