"potions... Easy." Summer smiled. She never saw the point of potions homework, they all knew who her father was. "Next charms essay..." She added calmly.

"Ooh." Genuine interest took over Tullia, and she settled into a steady reading off the essays and questions Summer wrote, checking them.

Three quarters of an hour later, Tullia walked beside Summer, smiling.

"That was fun, but ain't it late! Here, I wanna show you summat."

And with that, Tullia led Summer up a flight of stairs - the sixth floor - to a portrait of a young woman.

She whispered the password - "Splott" - and it swung open to reveal a room, decorated in greens and browns, several archairs and sofas, a desk and chair, a bookcase and a low coffee table. Two small doors indicated a bathroom and small kitchen.

"These are them rooms they wanted me to have, so they are. I'm not gonna stay in here, but you think we could use these for, I dunno, a room to gather in?"

"Wow... they really went out of there way..." Summer mumbled. "We could if you want us to." She walked around the room, fingering all the furniture. Lupe would like this... she thought. He would love to bring Ebony in here.. I hope he sorts it out.

"Ooh, I'm glad." Tullia grinned at Summer, relief evident on her face. "I didn't want them all to meself, so I didn't. D'you think Lupus'd like them?"

Summer nodded looking out the window. "Well... we'd better be heasing for bed..." The veela started to walk out the door, motioning for her friend to follow.
