June had sent Tessa a huge pack of art supplies. Canvases, pencils, acrylic paints, a sketchbook, watercolor. A note on the top contained a few sentences in June's slanted, sharp-looking writing. I hope you find as much escape, solace, and passion in this as I once did. I know you'll make it through. Love, June.

She smiled, running her fingers delicately over the cover of the sketchbook before flicking through it quickly. "What did Aunt June get you?" Tessa asked her sister curiously.

"She got me a calligraphy quill tip set and some fancy parchment. You know how I like my pens."

Tessa rolled her eyes good-naturedly as she moved to open the next present. "Of course. You seem to pick up more and more stationery each year."

She nodded, reading the tag before starting to unwrap the gift. A small weight landed next to her as the kitten scrabbled up the bed to investigate. Tessa laughed, holding out the wrapping paper for her to sniff.

The gift was a beautiful set of little animal figurines, made of colored glass. There was a raven, a dolphin, a bright toucan, a cat...

"Oh look, Lizzie! They're beautiful," she sighed happily, holding up the dolphin between two fingers and smiling.

"Yeah," she agreed, placing the dolphin down carefully in her lap and reaching to scrunch up the wrapping paper. "Did you get anything other than writing sets?" Her tone was light and teasing as she posed the question.

"Well, the Vargases sent me some things for knitting and I got a new wizard chess set from Mr. Montoya."

"You did pretty well too then," she laughed, pulling her hair over her shoulder and looking down at her wrist to check the time. "Lessons start soon."

"I'll see you later then," Tessa smiled, leaning across the bed to give Elizabeth a brief hug. "Mind if I leave the presents here and collect them later? I won't be able to carry them all and the kitten as well."

The Ravenclaw nodded, sliding off the bed and scooping up the still-unnamed kitten in her arms. "Have a good day," she said affectionately to her sister before heading out of the common room.

Elizabeth nodded, carefully running her fingers over the scarf, which she knew hid a black and silver book that was about to be banned from the restricted section.

Ricardo approached the entrance to the common room, tilting his head. "Maybe we can wait for a Hufflepuff to let us in? Or at least tell us where Leo is."

"Yeah," Vincent agreed. "Because I have no idea what the password is." He sat down to waif, but it wasn't long before someone came by.

Ricardo looked up at the sound of footsteps, seeing Random the Hufflepuff shuffling down the hall. "Hey, you wouldn't happen to know where Leo is?"
Random shrugged, ears turning red at the sight of two older Gryffindors. "N-no, I don't know. I haven't seen him all day. Sorry."
