Pausing for a moment, Giovanni stood and threw the papers into the fire, gazing at them as they burned. I have a feeling that we can't leave any evidence of this behind.

Tessa slipped into her dormitory, searching through the drawers for the perfume Bianca had mentioned. As she reached to pull it out, her fingers brushed against a small, framed photograph. She drew back at the sight of Elizabeth staring back at her from the corner, her face displaying the usual indifferent expression that she was so prone to. The Ravenclaw sniffed, determined to hold back her grief as she retrieved the perfume and applied it to her neck and wrists. She made her way downstairs to the common room, absent mindedly stopping to pet Nutmeg as she glanced around for Nic.

Nicolas was toying with a strip of cloth, oddly similar to the one that had been tied around his eyes in the doomed timeline.

She frowned as she spotted him, eyes glancing over the cloth. After watching him for a few moments, she headed over, fiddling nervously with her hair. "Hey, Nic."

Nicolas looked up. "Oh. Hey, Tessa. And... you're wearing perfume. Chanel No. 5?"

She felt a small shiver of happiness pass through her. "Yes, I am. It's not too much, is it?"

He smiled up at the direction he guessed she was in. "No. It's just right."

Tessa took a seat. She wondered briefly if Nic had heard about Elizabeth yet, but pushed away the idea of bringing the subject up. She wasn't sure if she wanted to talk about it so soon. Somehow knowing that no amount of time travel could bring her back gave her closure, and as much as she wanted a shoulder to cry on, none of the others were ever overly fond of her sister and somehow she imagined it would be easier to grieve alone. "Are you doing okay? A lot's been happening lately."

"I'm fine. I got yelled at for Bianca for a solid ten minutes, but she's satisfied now. That's the extent of anything."

She nodded. "She was quite mad at me, too. And it sounds like she almost bit poor Leo's head off."

"She made us all swear on our lives never to keep such a big secret from her again."

Tessa shifted uncomfortably. "Huh, she doesn't much like not knowing things."

"Your voice sounds tense," he commented. "Almost as if you're nervous about her not knowing something." He raised his eyebrows, leaning on his cane. "Giovanni sounded just the same."

She sighed heavily, leaning back and staring up at the ceiling. "Sometimes I think you see us all too well, Nic."

"If I can't see the guilt in your faces, might as well hear it in your voices," he replied, rubbing at his eyes. "So, whats the big secret?"

Tessa stiffened slightly. "It's... It's really not a pleasant story to hear. Are you sure...?"

Tessa sighed. He might as well know, or he'll never give it a rest. "This timeline... Something went wrong, and it was altered. Giovanni and I have come from that altered timeline, and things were - well, things were complicated. We had to put things back to normal again, and things still aren't completely right but it's the best we could do." It was the condensed version, and vague at best, but she felt uncomfortable going into too much detail.

"But... why'd you have to change it? What went wrong?"

She was silent for a moment, not wanting to say it but knowing that she would have to tell him sooner or later. "Bianca and Lizzie died."
