She nodded. "Yeah. Okay." In a certain way, it made perfect sense to her. "I don't even know what to say to them. What do I say?"

Tell them that the surgery went well and that their parents came around with some presents.

"Should probably go back to sleep," she said, pulling a face. "Got a headache."

We can talk more about this in the morning.

"Mmhmm," she said, stifling a yawn. "Thanks, Lizzie."

Go to sleep already, you're starting to mumble.

Tessa smiled, closing the journal and this time sliding it under her pillow before settling down for the third time that day to sleep.

Dusky summer light shone through the open window. The curtains stirred lightly as a faint wind blew through them, causing the shadows in the room to ripple. Tessa sat at her dressing table, Elizabeth's journal open before her. But her attention was focused on her reflection in the mirror. Ever so carefully, she traced the line of the incision scar with one finger, her touch feather-light against the new growth of hair on her scalp. The ugly, black sutures had been removed by the muggle doctor, leaving baby pink dots either side of the scar.

It looks so much better now. And your hair is growing a lot lighter, too. Elizabeth's message was neatly written in cursive.

"I know," she said amicably, brushing the side of her forefinger against the soft fuzz. "I'm hoping it stays that colour so I can dye it later on. I think I'll miss having red and purple hair otherwise." Her wigs lay untouched in the bottom of her wardrobe; since the craniotomy she had felt that it was necessary to let the wound breathe. Besides, it wasn't like she was headed anywhere important just yet.

Elizabeth was silent for a moment before beginning to write. I wanted to talk to you about something important. Regarding how long I'll be able to go on talking to you like this.

She felt her blood chill as she read the words. "W- what do you mean? I thought this was fine." It hadn't even occurred to her that their arrangement - albeit peculiar - was a temporary one.

I am very literally limited by the number of pages I have available to me in this book. And at the rate we're going, I won't last another month before this gets full. We're going to need a more permanent solution."

"Could I not... I don't know, glue some more pages in or something?" She asked with a nervous laugh, lowering her hands to rest on the page.

This isn't funny, Tessa. I know of a permanent solution, but we're going to have to get me in some other temporary vessel before then.

"What do you need me to do?" She asked with a slight frown. I never said it was funny. "What sort of temporary vessel?"

It has to be something with strong memories of me. my soul is more of a... Fragment, you could say. It needs help to be sustained and have a form. That's why I'm not a ghost. At any rate, I'd prefer it to be something more recent.

Tessa was more than a little baffled by the whole concept. "So... What were you thinking of?"

I have no idea. I don't remember everything about my life... there are big holes. But I'm thinking that there's something in the castle with much meaning to me. I can feel myself drawn to the castle, and hopefully I'll be drawn to the object. Elizabeth paused. She wondered if she was starting to make her strides towards her larger plan a bit too... bold. Tessa would obviously never go along with it if she knew what it was, and Elizabeth wouldn't be able to do it on her own. She'd need to resort to skillful, subtle trickery... something she'd never really been all that good at.

"Well I can't go back to Hogwarts for at least another week or so," she muttered, picking up a quill and rolling it between her thumb and forefinger, more out of necessity to occupy her hands than anything else. "But as soon as I can, I'll take you with me, I promise." She wondered how she could keep such a big secret from her friends, but it wasn't like Bianca would understand. Tessa felt a twinge of guilt at that particular thought, but as Lizzie had suggested, maybe the two of them weren't as close as she'd imagined. It still hurt to dwell on the fact that she hadn't received a single letter from her so-called best friend.
