"Book shelves would be a good idea! We'd have our own personal Library up here." She smiles setting a couple things on the bed from her trunk. "Yea. She was. And I know Age doesnt seem to matter to them as much. I mean. Mary looks 30 and she is....actually i dont know how old she is. but..." She smirks. "And i dont know how old David is either, but he doesnt look very old."
She laughs at the sudden quickness to steal a chair from downstiars in the common room. "Lets go, we can levitate it up the stairs and place it over there, and we can get shelves and put them around it." She seems almost giddy at the idea of setting up their rooms.

"I know how old David is," Jillian exclaims with a smile, "He told me exactly, not that it bothers me at all. I am guessing you have never given it too much thought, either?"
She grabbed her wand from where it was clipped on her pouch laiden belt, holding it up with an almost mischievous grin before moving to the door and opening it. Pointing her wand at the stairs she whispers, "Homenum Revelio!" and then glances back at Liliana after a moment, "The coast is clear, there is nobody in the common room."

"He told you? Huh. Interesting. You'll have to tell me sometime" She grabbed her own wand following Jillian down the spiral stairs to the common room. The girls both had mischievous grins as they made it to the bottom and looked around seeing no one in the common room. "Sweet!"
She steps down and pulls her own wand. "Windgardium Leviosa" she whispers towards one of the nicer looking chairs. It was large and comfy looking. She floats it up over the common room and towards the stairs where they were hiding. She laughed and looked to Jillian as the chair floats over to them. "Okay, now to make it back upstairs with out running into anyone"

"Told you," Jillian whispered with a smile when the common room proved to be empty. She nodded approvingly as Liliana levitated one of the better looking chairs without making a sound. Waving her own want and repeating the other girls spell she moved a couple of the other chairs slightly to not leave an obvious space where the chair Liliana had was. "I'll head up first, I'll make a sound if I run into anyone." she says before making her way back up the stairs.

Lili watches the other chairs get moved around the room to fill in the spot of the missing chair and nods when Jillian offers to go up first and make sure no one is coming down the stairs. She concentrates on the chair and moves it as she slowly makes her way herself up the stairs and towards their room.
She hoped they wouldn't be caught by anyone. It felt odd stealing a chair from the commonroom to add a personal sitting area to their room. But She thought it was fun. She didn't spend much time in the common room anyways. Always to many people.

Fortunately the only person Jillian ran into was a second year who stepped out of their room, saw the older student, turned about and disappeared back inside. The moment it was closed Jillian raised her wand and whispered, "Colloportus," before stepping aside and waving Liliana past. She followed the other girl up the steps, stopping just before they were out of sight to wave her wand once more. "Alohomora," she whispered unlocking the door she had just sealed before hurrying up the stairs after Liliana and into their room, ignoring the sound of the second years arguing about how their door got stuck.
"Phew!" she gasped. She had broken school rules in the past, but almost always for the sake of curiousity and research. Maybe having a good friend who she already shared secrets with was bringing out her reckless side. At least the only vampire that might turn up with this sort of recklessness was Maria, she told herself.
She collapsed on her bed, letting Liliana decide where to place the chair. "David told me a lot of things actually," she said breathily, "even promised to answer any question I ask that he was allowed to." she sounded quite proud of herself as she said that, even if she didn't add aloud that he was her knight.

Lili giggled when she heard the 2nd years trying to figure out and open their door. Once she was passed their room and the door finally came flying open she could hear that one had fallen from the door swinging open as they tugged. She muffled a laugh until they were back into the room and their door shut. She set the chair down in the newly appointed sitting area and plopped herself on the bed. Raven seemed to be laughing with them.
"Did he? Hmm. Like what? I've only ever talked with Mary and her partner Exo..."

That surprised Jillian enough that she actually stopped giggling, "Maria is married?" she had not expected that, "Is he.. I mean, well, part of her pack?" she asked curiously.
"I haven't been lucky enough to spend that much time with David, but we've talked about how witches smell to him, how he met Aisha, how he was embraced etc. I should get an owl sent to the two of them actually." she remembered. Her surprise that Liliana had only met two vampires showed clearly on her face.

"Not married. Just...they've been together. They seem like a couple to me" She shrugs "It's obvious that vampires Marry- i mean look at David and Aisha. But They are both vampires. I don't think they would actually marry. But Yea. He's a member. I just dont remember his role"
She listens to Jillian talk and nods. "I've met others- interacted with them briefly- David, Mary, Exo, Erskine- One other...but actually spent time with- its only really been Mary and Exo sometimes."

Jillian nodded as she listened to the explanation, it was interesting to hear that Mary had a partner of sorts. It was clear she had no idea who Erskine was though. "I know Mary and her sire were lovers, but had got the impression that was long in the past. Him living so far away and all. It is nice she is not alone." she smiled warmly.
"The first one I met with at the Ministry with my parents, quite the regal sort. Was then I first developed my habit. Then of course I met Kestrel at school and then over this summer I have met and spent time with Rose, Nikolaus and David. All three of them have taught me a lot, just as Maria has." she smiles, and then laughs, "Oh, and I ran into a couple of others before David saved me. I don't think they really count though!"

She nods flopping back onto her bed and looking up at the ceiling.
"Yea. Exo is nice...Just Its weird. I dunno what it is. Just its odd to think of how old they are and how much they've seen. But I mean. I guess they all are like that. They have that history, they get to experience it all."
She listend to Jillian speak and laughed. "Yea. I wouldn't count those either. I mean, maybe as an interaction. But its not like you actually got to know them."

"If not for David I guess I might have got to know them fairly intimately," she giggled, shaking her head. "Jokes aside, I do have to agree. That short tale Maria told us both, what I know about Davids past and what others have told me too. It is amazing how their lives have gone." Jillian had no issue using the word lives in regard to vampires, "I have a great aunt who is getting close to her two hundreth birthday though, so who knows what we shall get to see in our lives!"

She nods at the statement. "It's likely. I wonder if we'll meet any others. Besides the ones we already know. I haven't met Rose or Nikolaus. Maybe someday"
She looks around the room and flips to her belly to look at Jillian. "Yea. That story is pretty amazing to hear. I guess anything is possible when you can live as long as they have...or can."

Jillian had picked up her wand again while listening to Liliana and was repeating a particular motion. On her forth attempt there was a reaction, the less important contents of her case floating up and beginning to organise themselves into her drawers. She kept an eye on it all while responding to her friend, "There are most certainly many more out there, I've no doubt of that. Maria said she was seeking permission to invite a couple into her vampire class to demonstrate their abilities. If she succeeds then maybe we would be allowed to talk with them outside of class a little too." she said, a little hopeful. "I'll be sure to let you know if any of David's band mates turn out to be Ki- Cainites."

"Ooo. Yea. I did remember her saying that! Maybe your right and if we're lucky we'll be able to talk with them. I mean, i'm sure we'll learn abotu them in her Vampire class. Just Ya know. To be able to spend time with them outside of class...that would be actually kinda cool."
She watches teh contents of the trunk move and be put away. "Oh, you totally have to keep me updated while you go on tour with him. Details are a must while you travel the US!"

"It would be cool." Jillian agreed with a grin, only relaxing her focus entirely when all her clothes had been sorted. She had been practising nonverbal charms a fair bit over the summer. "I assume you have a phone, what with the whole muggle thing and you being close to Maria. Owls obviously won't be much help from over there but I could send you some of those text messages, to let you know what I get up to. I'd love to hear what you get up to in the holiday too, either with Maria or maybe with your transformation!" there was excitement in her voice again.

"Definitely! I have a phone. I'll write my number before we leave for holiday and you can keep me up to date about it all." She smiles. "I'll hopefully be moving into my own place over the holiday. So I can send you pictures of all of that too. Which reminds me. I have to talk to Dristan before classes start to make sure I can get this place!"
She smiles. "I dont know when the transformation will be. Certain things have to line up for that."

Jillian was impressed, "Your own place?! Wow, I don't know if my parents would be happy if I did that. Not that I could afford to." she shook her head, "Maria helped advise me on getting my phone. Took me some getting used to, I still don't know what half the little box things do. Have it with me in the hopes I'll be able to text with David on Hogsmeade weekends."

"I'll show you how it works fully one weekend if you want." She said with a smile. "I'm pretty good with phones I could teach you. As for the new place. Yea. I found one in Colchester. its AMAZING, and has an old ruin on property."

"I'd appreciate that, would save me having to wait and see if Maria does manage to arrange an overnight Muggle Studies stay in Hogsmeade." she smiles and then gasps at the mention of the ruins, "What sort of house is it?" she was wide eyed, having just imagined a small flat somewhere like the one Aisha had had. What Liliana had just said suggested something a great deal grander and so much more expensive. She was amazed.

Lili nods. "I hope she does anyways. An over night away from the castle. Common, that would be amazing!" The gasp from the house comment left her laughing a bit.
"Its nothing like Dristan's. Much smaller. But its gorgeous and the grounds are beautiful. It has an old ruin on in but its protected- I guess no one can touch it, which will be interesting to see what happens. Dristan is suppsoed to go look when he gets a night off from the castle and meet with the realtor."

Jillian shook her head, laughing softly at the thought that the house being nothing like Dristan's made it less than amazing. "It has grounds and a ruin, it sounds astounding! My family live in a townhouse in London. It has a bundle of charms unique to anywhere in the world, but its nothing like a full blown estate! Maria's home seemed impressively grand and fanciful by my standards!"

Lili smiled. "It really is! Im really hoping it works out. I do love it a lot." She smiles. "My parents have a small house, nothing over the top. I think they were a little taken back I had such a connection to a powerful family like the Adamson's. They didn't know how to take it...They are growing accustom to it of course. I do love the little house though. ANd Yea. Mary's is beautiful"

"I am really looking forward to those photgraphs of it already," Jillian laughed, "I guess you could call my parents place small but state of the art. I am beginning to think that the Ministry doesn't pay them enough though. I suppose you won't have to worry too much about getting a job after you finish school?"

"I'll make sure to send them to you." She smiles. "Yea. Sometimes i wonder how much ministry officials get paid to do things- " She looks up at her. "I dont know what i will do. I have a feeling if things work out in different ways, i'll find myself locked away in the Department of Mysteries..."
She would leave it at that for now. She wasn't sure if she was ready to tell Jillian about her ability. She had kept it a secret- only few knew, but it would make sense that the girls had become rather close- even since the summer and their connections with Mary and other slike her, made her a confidant.. She chewed her lower lip a moment.

Jillian noticed the expression, feeling curious but fighting down the feeling. She had of course heard of the Department of Mysteries along with a great many theories about it all. "An unspeakable?" she almost squeaks the question, her curiousity buzzing away. It was obvious her friend felt uncertain with the subject though, "I don't ask if you don't want to say," she promises. "I don't know what I will do either. There is the family tradition, but I don't know now.."
She had no intention of pushing her curiosity. If Liliana did not want to say more then she would just have to accept that choice. There was possibly a few things Maria had forbid her to speak about that she would just have to accept anyway too.

Lili took a deep breath and sat up. "Sort of." She looks at the girl. "I have a feeling I would be locked away in the department of Mysteries writing down everyone's misfortunes as I see them..." She gave it a few moments to sync in with Jillian, watching the expression on her face.
"My abilities...A gift apparently passed down from my mother allows me to see the future...An Oracle is what they are called. Its why I had private lessons with Oakwood at the end of last year. He was trying to help me. Its why I wear the gloves, why I was such an outcast all my years of Hogwarts, even through now...Not many know about it- Dristan, Mary, Ambrose...and Dmitry. That's it...."

If Jillian had been surprised before in their conversations, and she had often, it was nothing to how she looked now. True seers were supposed to be exceedingly rare, weren't they? Several thoughts flickered across her face. "I.. I don't know what to say, other than that I am impressed!" her voice held a hint of awe as she spoke, "I mean, not about the being locked away, but a gift like that is rare. You can't control it though? Are the gloves enchanted to help? Do you only see misfortunes? Does it work with everyone? How does that sort of thing even work?" she asked the questions in quick succession, but stopped herself afterwards and looked a little embarassed. "Sorry.."

"Its rare- not often that something like that gets passed down. I just wish I knew more about my mother..." Her voice is soft.
"I'm trying to learn to control it. Its triggered through touch, pretty much any sort of touch to bare skin....The gloves are just a reminder since Hands are almost the most easiest way to trigger it. I dont know how it works. Im still trying to figure it all out." She smiled at Jillian and shrugged. "Its okay. Im still trying to figure it all out myself. I lived life trying to hide it and just stay away from people. Now--I'm trying to figure it out and actually be....semi social."

Jillian settled down and listened to Liliana's explanations quietly, nodding slowly with each remark. "It sounds like quite the burden.." she managed in the end, having realised it did not sound as wonderful or impressive as first thought. "I promise I won't say anything, I-" she stopped and blinked, "Oh, I helped you up earlier! I'm so sorry.. I will try and be more careful while we are here! I am thankful that you decided to tell me, I would hate to be accidentally filling your head with visions of me stubbing my toe or setting fire to my bedsheets." she laughed, trying to make a joke of things to lighten the mood. She was truly thankful to be included in such a secret though.
