"Yes I didn't finish it before school and it has been hard to sneak around and work on. Though I found this incredible art room once where I was able to work on it. Which was another reason why I asked if they taught art. I've not been able to find the room since but it had virtually everything I needed and it gave me privacy. Maybe you know whete the art room is? I would very much like to find it again." she smiles softly and looks back up to her painting and back to Jillian.
"Thank you. I try my best and sometimes I don't always get it right. Like drawing the dogs in the journal they were quite off scale but that was because I had never drawn dogs before. Same with people. I sketched people on the streets all the time but it wasn't really honed in on until this summer. Landscapes though and scenery I feel sometimes I could do them with my eyes closed. There is still so much more to learn and work with amd understand." she sounded very enthusiastic about it.
"I think it is one thing I wish to keep magic away from other then maybe in the paints themselves because they do add a beautiful depth to it. Thulile says I need to be careful though on who sees the magical paint as it shoupd be reserved for those that can understand it. So I'll have regular art as well. I hope that I can do that with regular paints as well."
She worked on her sore fingers a bit more.

Jillian frowned, pondering the mention of the art room. "You don't remember where the room you found was? Were you specifically looking for an art room when you found it?" she enquired, a small grin on her lips. "A private classroom, unable to be found again.. on the seventh floor?"
"Whoever this Thulile is, she is right. It is always best to keep magical things away from the muggles. Having seen your skill and focus, I've no doubt you'll be able to do great with any professional paints giving practise with different things." she happily praised her new friend, "You have an amazing talent."

"I honestly have no idea where thw room was or what floor. I just was kind of wandering around and felt like I should open the door and I did and it was just there." she shrugs. "Why do you ask?" she wondered.
"She was my mentor in London over the summer. She was at camp for a little while as well. Not sure if you met her or not. And I can understand that. I started with normal paints and still use them. I like the touch of the magical ones though, so I have been greedy about using them. I need to find out what is in them. So I can remake them. You think the potions Professor might now?" she asked unsure of who else to ask quite honestly.

"Rumours of a magic room in that area, played a big part on the second war." Jillian explained. "I wondered if you had found it."
Thinking hard, Jillian shrugged, "I might have met her, I remember that Professor Redthistle.. As for the paints, I can't imagine your dad having trouble getting hold of all the paints you need, but the potions professor should be able to find out their components if they don't already know."

"She had bright blue hair. And dad doesn't know what's in them. He sent her a text and so have I but neither of us heard back. I don't know if he went to check on her or not either" she makes a face thinking.
"I will ask the professor when I have free time on the weekend" she said with a smile.
"The painting will take a few days to finish. It needs to dry and rest before I add more to it. I can come find you over the weekend and show it to you if you would like."

"Blue hair?" Jillian laughed brightly, "Don't think I ever met her then. Sorry to hear she was out of touch, your dad should and check on her. You won't get texts now you're both here after all."
She stretched a little, not too used to spending so much time sitting outside. "I'd love if you could do that, you'll be able to let me know what the Potions professor said too."

"Oh yeah. I'll let you know. I can't wait to show you what it looks like when I'm done. I have it in my mind but not sure that works yet. I play with it sometimes and change it up as I go along." she stands and starts packing her things up.
"What are you going to do the rest of the day?" she asked as she packed.

Jillian picks up Morticia gently with the intention of keeping him out the way while Mattie gathered her things, or at least that is what she told herself as she cuddled the small furry animal to her breast smiling. "I've no classes left today, I was planning on heading back to my room. I have this picture to put up and a book I was going to read. Doesn't like much I admit.. What about you?"

She chuckled as Morticia snuggled up against Jillian. "She likes you." she said with a bright smile.
She finished packing her bag and picked up her easel and painting careful to not smudge the wet paint. "I was going to catch an early dinner and maybe go to the library. I've not been there yet and I hear it is magnificent." she said as she started to walk, carrying all her stuff.

"i like her," Jillian remarked, getting up to follow Mattie back towards the castle. Wand in one hand, Morticia in the other - at least until she got bored of being carried and lept out of Jillians hand to find her own way through the patches of tall grass. "The library is great," she admitted and then a thought struck her, "I'll finally have access to the restricted section without needing a note this year!" that made her smile and laugh.

Mattie stopped for a moment and watched Morticia as she disappeared in and out of grass. "Restricted section?" she lifted an eyebrow readjusting the items she was carrying.
"What is that? And why would you need a note? Why are things restricted from students? I get the Forbidden Forest, it is in the name." she laughs.

Jillian stopped, turning to the other girl. "Its a secion of the library, the books there are advanced spells, theories and such. NEWT level stuff for the most part. Some of it is pretty creepy and not too suitable for young students which is why it is off limits to all but the higher years. You'll need a note signed by a teacher explaining what books you need from that section and why." she pauses for a moment and adds with a smile, "I get the feeling you have what it takes not to get too freaked out by some of the things there, but you know adults."

Mattie walks and listens as Jillian talks about the restricted part of the library. "Well maybe that is best. I kind of have a tendency to freak a little bit. You saw my other painting when I was having nightmares. I'll avoid it until I'm older if that is the rules." she said quietly.
"Thanks for hanging out with me." she says brightly as they reach the courtyard. "Where will you be Saturday afternoon? I can come look for you or we can meet somewhere so I can show you when it is finished." she mentioned the painting.
She wanted to hug Jillian again but her arms were full. There would be time for more later she thought.

"I think that painting freaked me out more," she laughs. "Probably best you avoid it though, yea."
She smiled warmly at the comments after they reach the courtyard, "I'm glad I ran into you too. I'll make sure I am in the library, how does that sound? I'll look forward to seeing it."
She kneels down to pet Morticia's ear, "I hope to see you then too."

Mattie beamed. "Alright I'll come look for you after lunch then." she said brightly as she put her stuff down and gave Jillian a hug.
She stepped back and grabbed her stuff again and practically skipped off back to her common room.

The hug made Jillian smile, she was all too happy to return it. "I'll see you then!" she called as Mattie grabbed up her stuff and bounced away, the tiny black mass of Morticia close on her heels.
Popping her wand back into its place on her belt, she turned and made her way back toward the Ravenclaw common room.
