"I think if anything i'm to finish school. But depending on what happens This might just be my last year. I havent decided yet" At the mention of how the transformation might feel she shivered. She remembered that night- how painful it was, how she had found herself in the middle of the floor curled up in the fetal position as her bones and organs felt like they shifted or shattered.
"You could say that, though its more painful and gut wrenching." She pauses a moment. "Not a cousin no- thought I guess with the adoption...." She didn't want to think about it. "I honestly don't know what we are. He's been rather....distracted and distant lately." She shakes her head. "Oh well. Boys. We'll never understand them i guess"

Jillian nodded slowly, she was a little worried but had no intention of letting it show. Best she keep quiet, she thought. At the mention of how painful the transformation was she winced, rather glad she had declined when talking with Aisha. Not that anything would have come from it considering.
"I think you're right there," she said, hoping she sounded more knowledgable about boys than she actually was. The summer had helped her get better at keeping some things from showing, but she was still no good at lying. She thought back to her conversation with Victoire over the summer, boys had been a big part of the conversation there too and she had felt just as clueless. "You'll have to point him out to me sometime, assuming he goes here."

She laughed a bit. "Believe me. I know almost nothing about being in a relationship. This would be the first for me. But He's hard to read. Guess thats what I get for falling for a Slytherin" She smirked.
"Oh, Yea. He's a Slytherin Student, sixth year. He transfered here from Durmstrang last year I think..."

She felt a weight lift as Liliana admitted to not having much experience with relationships herself, "Thank goodness, I was beginning to think I might be the only one to not have any experience there." she blushed. "Slytherin's aren't too bad in general, though distant and distracted does not surprise me there. I think Durmstrang is pretty different from here. Maybe that has something to do with it?"

"It very well could be. I'll be honest, im horrible with people in general. I was a hermit until last year when Dristan made me branch out and actually TALK to people." She noted the blush and smiled.
"No, they aren't awful and i'm sure your right about maybe being all still and cold from his father and the durmstrang upbringing did have something to do with it. I just dont know what, and how."

"I guess we can be oddball recluses together then?" Jillian made an attempt at joking, "I still get teased occasionally for a whole number of things after all. Hoping that like the exams, all the work this year will keep everyone too preoccupied to pay me much attention."
She wished she could give some sort of advice on Dimitry or boys in general, but she had only really ever had one crush she could remember and while she wouldn't admit it out loud she knew she would have better luck taming the giant squid than succeeding in a relationship there. Might be a safer ambition too, she thought.

"We can indeed" She said with a nod. "I'm still over looked a lot of the time, in classes and out. Im oddly okay with that though. Less likely to have issues with them, less to worry about and very little drama" She said with a laugh.
"So, What other ambitions do we have this term besides surviving and hoping to dont end up in the Infirmary!"

Jillian beamed, glad to have herself a new friend she could relate to. At least on some things anyway. She laughs at the infirmary remark, "Oh.. knowing my record so far, I think it is all but certain that I'll end up there at least a couple of times. I've not had a year where I haven't so far." she remembered the spring ball last year where someone had spiked the punch bowl to her misfortune. "As for ambitions.. I'm going to be in the duelling club for the first time this year, I think. If I win at least one duel by next summer I'll consider it a success!" she laughs.

"YOu and me both! I was there a few times towards the end of the year...But thats what happens when you wander into the forest or get locked in ROwena's old apartment for three days..." She smirked.
"I've been debating abotu the dueling club. I mean. It would be helpful i'm sure for whatever comes up. I will agree though. If i win a duel even just one, i'd call my year a success"

"That was you?" Jillian gasped, she had heard some school rumours about some events last year but was not sure how much of it had been started by Peeves. "Normally I'd say you would never see me entering the forest, but I suppose I did a few things just as foolish over the summer.." she squirmed a little, but had no regrets over what she had done.
She frowned, "You're an Adamson, I would have thought you would be great at the dueling!"

"Yea. I followed a Gryffindor into the room, and we were trapped. It only felt like hours to us. But according to Dristan it was like 3 days. He was losing his mind. And that was even before we TRULY figured out how strong our connection was....The forest. Well, I followed somethign in there, and then fell into a spiders nest...almost got eaten. Just another day at Hogwarts."
"I've never dueled a day in my life Jillian. I stay away from people remember? Why would I duel them?" She giggled. "I guess we'll see if that changes."

"I guess I just figured your cousin would have given you some special lessons!" Jillian laughs, "Uphold the family reputation and all that. Though you did say your summer was real busy. I've not duelled either, but neither have I had to fight off giant spiders! I guess we'll just have to see how things go. Your cousin never gave me the choice of not joining the club when I wrote to him asking to be added to the DADA class this year."

"Well. You HAVE the choice. And i'll beat him up if he says other wise" She laughed. He would shoot her down real quick if thats what he wanted. "I dont think he would ever FORCE someone to be in the club who had no interest. But honestly after the summer i've had, being more for the offensive and not just defensive may not be a bad idea. Especially for the crowds we like to run with sometimes. Who knows what trouble comes with that some days."
She yawns a bit leaning back again. "Not that we can do magic yet...At least I can't. Not until October."

Jillian reluctantly nodded her agreement in regard to her own summer, "I was thinking the same.. Been attacked one too many times already."
"Magic in self defence is allowed, remember. I kept my wand with me whenever I went on night time wanderings. Thankfully I never had to use it, would have been a lot of awkward questions even if it is allowed." she chuckled.

"Oh I know. But You remember the whole issue with Potter....The whole Dementor thing. He was apparently trying to protect his cousin and the Ministry exploded with that" She shrugs. "I couldn't exactly fight what kept popping up at me. My spells would of head no effect on them."
She thinks about the mountain visit with the demon who had shown herself and almost drained teh life force from her very body. Had Dmitry not shown up....She shivered, playing it off as a chill by grabbing her blanket from home.
"So, Our first Hogsmead weekend, is there anything we want for our room for the term!? I'm sure i could get Elijah to send things here for me if we wanted something specific."

"They can be heavy handed, yea.. both my parents work for the Ministry, I suppose that makes me feel more comfortable about it. They would probably kill me themselves though but I wouldn't be expelled or anything.." she watched Liliana grab the blanket and assumed the girl had spent the summer somewhere warm. "At least we can try and keep each other safe this year, I wonder if Maria had a say in our rooming arrangements for that purpose?"
She furrowed her brow a little, yet another name she didn't know. She did not like feeling so clueless but reassured herself that she would learn all this. "Er.. I had not even thought that far ahead, I half expected to have a room mate I would have to keep out of the way of!"

"They can be. My parents recently got jobs there thanks to Dristan. But i'm not sure what exactly. Something to do with what they enjoy doing outside of the magic community. I'm pretty sure I would be okay in the end as well. Thats if I actually had a reason and I had the backing I think i would have" She laughed. "Oh, i wonder the same thing actually. We should ask her about it"
"Oh, and Elijah works for Dristan. He watches the house and stuff while Dristan is away. I hate calling him a butler...hes more like family. Been with the family forever" She smirked a bit. "Well, arent we lucky we both dont have a roommate we have to avoid! My roommate last year moved out of the room and into a room with an extra bed in it a few weeks after term started. Oh well. Sucks to be her. I think we'll both survive this term yet!"

Jillian looked impressed that Liliana could talk so relaxed about having a manservant of sorts, even just a family one. She had known the Adamson family was rich, but the idea seemed rather funny when she had had to empty a bit of her savings in order to buy a muggle mobile over the summer. "I think we'll have a great year," she smiled, "What ideas do you have for the room? Maybe somewhere for Raven to sleep?"

"I think we will too. and Yea, a place for Rave to sleep would be good unless you want him jumping into bed with one of us. I do have a bed for him somewhere in my trunk. Just gotta find it"
"Well It would appear we're one of the upper, smaller rooms in the common room, I guess we could do whatever we wanted"

"I don't know if there would be space in the beds for him and one of us," she laughed, giving the dog a smile. She sat up on the bed, "I can give you a hand looking if you like?"
She rather wished she had packed at least one of her Forsaken Paradise posters now but they were all still on her walls at home, nor did she expect they would have any for sale at Hogsmeade. She glanced back to the jacket where it hung and then to Liliana. No, there was no way she was going to ask the girl to get this Elijah fellow to obtain something like that. That would be way too embarassing.

"I dont think he would care about kicking us out of the bed" She laughed and pulled herself from bed and opening her trunk. "Sure. Its charmed so its like a bottomless pit, Like my bag, but bigger" She smirked and started to dig through the trunk. "It's big....and Blue. Well, it would have to be big for him. He's HUGE" she laughed as she shuffled through her things.
"Hmmm. What if we did lights around the bed? Those really cool shaped ones you can put outside in your gardens. I think those would be fun."

Jillian slipped off the bed and moved to help Liliana look through the trunk, sitting down next to her and helping sort through things. "Sounds like it should be pretty easy to spot then," she smiles but stops sorting at the next question, "Ooo, that does sound like a great idea! I think I might know a spell to charm them too, would be fun."

Lili goes through the trunk and sighs. "It would be just my luck its at the very bottom of this pit!" She sits down and sorts through it. "That would be cool! Hmm. What else? We can have the lights for the room, Do we want anything else? We have the window for star gazing but I think we got the point under the tower" She said looking up at the circular ceiling.
"Do you have any posters of David's band? I'm sure I could find some if you didn't bring any"

"You sure did pack a lot more things than I did," Jillian observed as she took a couple of books from Liliana to set aside as they searched. She had not dared go near the window since she stepped into the room and had no words to say about it when it came up. "I feel sorry for Raven, actually. It is a long way from here if he has to go out."
When Liliana mentioned posters Jillian turned a bright red, looking uncomfortable. "I.. no, I didn't pack any to bring with." she muttered, "I did not want anyone teasing me about it, news is bound to get out sooner or later after all. Especially after what McGonagall said, even the students who have not heard of the band will probably be researching who Aisha married now." she paused, "Do you like his music? I wouldn't want a poster up you didn't like.."

"To be fair most of my stuff stayed at Dristans or Mary's so everything was kinda kept in here.. Aha!" She exclaims grabbing onto something from inside the trunk and pulls it up. She fights for a few moments and almost falls backwards as the large blue fuzzy bed is pulled from the trunk. She laughs, almost hysterical from her almost fall. Even Raven seems to be laughing at the girls. She tosses the bed into the corner of the room between the two beds and shakes her head.
"I dont know much about them. But What ive heard I like. I didn't have a lot of time to listen to music this summer. And screw anyone who teases you. I'll kick A** myself if i have to" She said with a smile. "Besides. You can put anything up you want."

When Liliana starts tugging at the bed Jillian stifles a small laugh which erupts when she watches the girl almost fall over. By instinct she reaches out to try and catch her new friend before realising she didn't need to. Still laughing she straightens up, still sitting on the floor and watches as the dog bed is thrown partway across the room. "I don't have that much stuff at home, let alone here. My parents are big on charming their own things and spending out on new home projects which usually end up being work projects in time anyway." she shakes her head.
"To be honest, I didn't know much of their music at all until this summer," she says in a conspiritorial tone, putting a finger to her lips. She was so glad they were getting on so well and laughed at Liliana saying she'll have a go at other students for her. She hoped it would not be needed. Getting to her feet she offered the other girl her hand to help her up.

Lili was still laughing when Jillian offered a hand to stand up. She happily takes it, pulling herself up. "Ah. Yea. We have a house full of Normal things with my parents. And then you go to Dristans house and he has so much more. His library is amazing. I'm almost sad i didn't get to spend more time in the books he has. "
She stands brushing herself off and moved the dog bed into place. "So, we'll have to find some posters for you to add to the collection.." She looks around the room. "Hmm. What else can we do to make this tower our special hang out this term..."

"Aha! We have a small library of our own too, but its mostly research texts and charms books which I've either read already or that are well beyond NEWT level." Jillian said glumly before cheering up, "You should see As Black As Night though, so much stuff and.." she trailed off, realising that it was probably not the best recommendation. "That is, if Maria allows you to sometime. Sorry."
She bit her lip, looking around the room. "I did try getting David to pose for a wizarding photo to use as my own private poster, but I think I might have annoyed Aisha with that one. Did you notice how much she doesn't seem to like me?" she asked, "We should get a good chair for anyone visiting to sit on," she thought aloud. Neither of them were likely to invite other students in often, but she thought if Maria paid a visit then it would not be too good to have her sit on someones bed. She grinned, "Think we could sneak one up from the common room without anyone realising?"

"I'll have my own library some day...I think I found the place I'd like to buy someday" She wouldn't say anything absolute. Her and Dristan seemed to still be working on the finer details of it all. "I'll have to remember the title. Reading is a free passtime" She said matter of factly. "Besides. I love to read"
"Did you!?" She seems almost shocked that Jillian had attempted it. "Hmm. Yea. I did notice she was a little....protective? Territorial? Is it Territorial when it comes to a vampire? I mean. Does he get possessive of her like that?" SHe thought out loud. "Hmm. Maybe I'll ask Mary next time" She smirked. "Oh well. I wonder if its just the whole- Hes my husband but i dont know why she would seem so jealous of someone so young?"
Lili raised an eyebrow at the idea. "I bet we could! Everyone is probabaly unpacking in their rooms. I'm sure we could sneak it up right now if we wanted!"

Jillian smiled at Liliana's interest in reading, something they had in common which was good. "We should definitely get some bookshelves or something then." she said, beaming a smile which turned into a wide grin at the other girls surprise at the poster idea. "Aisha is a bit of an odd woman.. I don't know what David sees in her," she giggles, "Does age really come into it considering what he is? I mean, compared to him Aisha and I aren't that different in age!" she explains, knowing deep down that she was probably deluding herself.
"That is a good point! Nobody will have had a chance to remember how many chairs are down there, lets do it!"
