It was friday....One week since the incident had occurred and Lili had avoided the divination tower like the plague. But it was time to face it. Classes had finished for the afternoon and Lili was actively waiting for Saturday mid morning when she would be able to venture to Hogsmead and see Dristan for the first time in several weeks. The girl looked exhausted, as if sleep had eluded her for several nights. It was time to talk to Professor Oakwood about what happened. Making her way through the trapped door she took in a heavy breath and make her way into the divination tower. She didn't say anything this time, and made her way into the room and towards the book where he always seemed to be.  |

Sure enough, Ambrose was behind the book as per his usual. He sighed as he turned a page, mumbling something about 'color sounds' before looking up. "Oh..Miss Garcia." He blinks. "Did I forget we had an appointment today? I thought I was keeping better track...hmm..." He rubs his eyes, wild black hair waving slightly as he shook his head. "Really need to get a bit more sleep..."

"No appointment today Professor" She says softly. She watches him a moment as he mutters about colors and such and looks around before back at him.
"I figured A week was long enough to hide away. And it was time to actually come talk to you about the last session." It was obvious that she hadn't really faced the incident and it had been weighing on her mind.

Ambrose stopped and sighed with a nod. "Fair enough." He stood, leaving the book and heading for their usual table. Gesturing for her to take a seat, he does his best to move the hair from his eyes and looks up at hers. "Last session was a bit intense, to say the least. How are you feeling? Have you spoken with Mister Wolfbauer?"

Lili nods running a hand through her hair and walks over to the table and sits down. "Intense is an understatement Professor. You didn't spend almost a whole day in Hospital making sure you fine" She said softly.
"It took a few days...I think i spoke with him Monday. We're fine....I still havent told him what I saw." She crosses one leg over the other and sits back. "I still can't sleep great, nightmares are lingering...I also spoke with Professor McGonegall briefly"

Ambrose shakes his head. "Not the Hospital Wing specifically here...no. But I have had my fair share of needing to heal as well as Nightmares." He sits back and breathes. "Yes I also spoke with the Headmistress. She wants to...pull the memory of what you saw for the pensieve...possibly to help you understand what was going on and to see if we can help you. Did she talk to you about that at all?"

She shakes her head. "No. Nothing about a Pensive..." She said softly. "What happened Professor. I mean honestly. Things have bee getting odd....The nightmares, and then, when i feel like i have a handle of my ability, i suddenly dont. I have no idea if its because of Dmitry or because of my ability...or if its something totally unrelated..."

Ambrose spread his hands. "My only guess is that whatever you saw with Dmitry was something...intense. So intense that your mind focused on it....and you went into shock." Ambrose looks up at her. "You're doing well. Progressing. But what you saw in Mister Wolfbauer...it was something more. Something that got to you more then seeing mine or Professor Adamson's death. That would be my best guess. It's why we thing the Pensieve might help."

She nods as she listened to him. "I feel like the big difference while still intense, it was all magical related. Yours...confuses me, Dristans....it was Natural. But his...All magical. Not to mention that our relationship is still so new, it was hard to see...."
She pauses and fiddles with her gloves.

Ambrose nods slowly. "Hmm...that could be something." He thinks for a few long moments. "What did you talk to the Headmistress about? Did she tell you anything at all? Did you tell her about what you saw?" Ambrose was trying to find any hint at all...

"Just basically that Hogwarts was the safest place for me to me. I asked a few questions about if there were other oracles and stuff like that" She shrugged. "But nothing really about Pensives and memories stuff. But I was given the chance to take a weekend home to see Dristan....And then she reminded me that there was always Hogsmead.."
She sits up, fixes her scarf and looks at him. "What does your book say about what happened professor? I mean you always seem to be asking it questions, or it seems to be telling you things about us. Does it say anything else?" She pauses a moment. "And what about what you told me Before....About what I saw about you...."

Ambrose looks over his shoulder at the book and sighs. "No...it hasn't told me anything. And I asked it...everything. I get abstract things...or things I already know." He rubs his eyes. "I haven't slept much so forgive me. And as for me..." He tilts his head at her. "Remind me what I said?"

She looks at the book and back to Ambrose. "I guess none of us are sleeping much then" She sighs. She runs a hand through her hair again. It was turning out to be some sort of nervous habit....
"You talked about what is see in your vision" She takes breath. "How its not actually you, but your soul...."

Ambrose blinked and nodded. "Ah right. Let's just say that you are not the first to have seen...the end of me. So while the fact that you saw it does surprise me, what you saw does not. It is...more then likely, my most inevitable end. Something I came to terms with some time ago..."

"So, Its not actually you...SO you have two sides of you and only one of them is dying" She was oddly confused about it all. "How is that you have two sides of you. That seems impossible" She didn't know how else to explain it.... She looked at the professor and down at the floor.
"Why didn't the headmistress mention anything that your telling me? Is she just going to let it be then?"

"She was giving you time...and I told her I would talk to you about it. She thought we should look at them all, but not all of the visions are causing this kind of lockdown...only the one with Mister Wolfbauer." He tilts his head. "And as for me..I guess you could say part of me is dying and that is what you see. I'd like to think...its the most important thing that makes me, me. That is what you are looking at."

"But what if what happened had nothing to do with Dmitry and with something else. Then your studying it for all the wrong reasons..." She listens to his explanations and nods. "I guess it makes sense. Your soul is what makes you....you. So if it dies then....who are you?"

"It might be you. Or him. But his vision is the catalyst for the incident. So his vision would be the first place to start. And as for me?" He tilts his head and thinks for a long moment. "If my soul died...I really would be the sad, colorless thing that you saw. It really is the best representation without knowing the full truth."

"So what happens when you take the memory? Will you make me forget?" She asks looking at him. Its not like she wanted to forget what had happened. She just wasn't sure what they wanted to do with it. How could his memory play such a major part....
Lili pauses in thought. "Full Truth....Theres more to this story?"

Ambrose shakes his head. "No...we'd make a copy of the memory and put it inside of a specific liquid inside of a bowl. That way you can then look at the memory and possibly learn new things from it. It's a very interesting Wizarding tool." He chuckles.
"As for the full truth? Just remember that a lot of things have a number of truths to them."

"I know what it is Professor. I just wanted to know if it was going to be erased or not" She said softly as she looked out a far off window. "Then why say the full truth if your just going to beat around the bush about it. Then it isn't exactly a full truth"
She didn't really understand why the professor spoke in riddled sometimes but she didn't really want to press her luck either.

"My story is one full of words and sighs in places that people think should be happy things. One day, I might just tell you all about it. For now...let's just say that I don't want my soul to die. It will cause me...to not be here." He shrugs with a chuckle.

"I don't think anyone wants your soul to die professor. Just like I'd rather not see the people in my life have their stories come to an end either." She shrugs.
"So what do we do from here? I mean when it comes to training sessions. School is almost out."

"Well...we can keep doing sessions until you leave. Over the summer, you need to be working on your meditation. Keep yourself centered and grounded. You can reach me by owl and if you need me to come out to do a session, let me know. I can get just about anywhere." He smiles.

Lili nods to him. "Can I get through this weekend first? I am seeing my Cousin." She didn't really want to divulge that she was infant seeing Dristan this weekend. But He probably would have found out eventually anyways, or the book would have possibly told him.
"After this weekend, we can meet again until school is out."

Ambrose nods and smiles. "Of course. Did the Headmistress let him back onto the castle grounds? As I said last time...I am not trying to keep you from him, but there are still rules we have to follow. As long as the Headmistress is alright with it, then everything is fine. And yes...we can start after the weekend."

"He is allowed at Hogsmead" She says softly. "According to the Headmistress"
She doest seem to be shaky with that particular phrase as if to realize that he may protest even slightly. "You cant keep me away from family Professor. I would pity the one who tries..." She didn't mean for it to come out as snarky as she did. But at this point it was truth. She was tired of being told who she could and could not see.
"I have to figure out why things have been going down hill since he left the school Professor. Someone has to have answers somewhere about this."

Ambrose nods. "Hogsmeade makes sense. Doesn't violate the terms the Ministry set forward." He smiles soft. "I don't want to keep you from family. Like I said...rules we have to follow. Hopefully, the answers you seek will be answered. I sure hope so." He smiles. "So...training session next week?"

"It would seem otherwise about keeping me from family but I will just keep that hidden away." She said softly. "And I hope your right, that maybe we can find something out, something more about this." She looks at him and nods.
"Sure, besides maybe we will find something more out over the weekend that may give us more insight.."

"The more knowledge, the more we have to use to forge an answer. I do wish you luck on the endeavor." He stands and nods to Lilianna. "In the meantime, meditation Centered, Grounded. Keep practicing that. It will help. Alright?" He smiled at the Oracle. "You are strong Miss Garcia. I have witnessed that strength first hand. Keep that in mind, ok?"
