Below the floorboard, and those just around it, lay a small hoard of useful supplies for the aspiring Dark Witch. Chalk by the fistful nestled in hastily closed bags beside a large, dusty, leather-bound book. Evil-smelling mold lined the pages. Rolls of parchment filled with Elizabeth's notes sat in between bottles full of muddy-looking, multicolored potions. Neatly drawn diagrams were scattered around as well.

Tessa felt a chill pass through her as she gathered the stuff up, looking through each in turn. So this was what her sister had done with her time. This is so illegal. She headed back to her room, unable to shake the feeling of unease within her stomach.

Did you get the big, old-looking book? Make sure you don't drop it. It curses you if you do.

"What sort of curse?" She asked, voice rising an octave as she ever-so-carefully placed the book down on her dressing table. A warning would have been nice.

Nothing too fancy. You just lose all of your fingernails. Instantly.

Tessa raised her eyebrows. "Why would... Oh, never mind. Just tell me what I have to do." Anything, she had said, but she couldn't help feeling that she would mess up and end up limbless, or something equally horrific.

(Fine by me)
Tessa reached across to her calendar, eyes skimming over rows of crossed off dates - many of which had been labelled with 'RT appointment' - before her gaze came to rest on the current day. A buzz of excitement rushed through her body and she glanced across at the mirror, more out of habit than anything else. Her hair had grown a few centimetres now, save for a spot on the left of her head where the radiotherapy was regularly administered. It was finer and paler, and as of yet she couldn't tell whether or not it would have the same loose curl as before, but frankly she was glad it had grown back at all.

Elizabeth had begin writing with navy blue ink now, a color she felt was more indicative of herself. You ready to go back?

She beamed, gesturing across the room to where her suitcase stood. "I can't wait! And Dr. Simmonds said that I only have to come back once a week at first for my follow up appointments, and he's arranging someone to apparate with me from Hogsmeade. And now that the radiotherapy's done with I can stop taking those awful anti-sickness pills."

Not to mention that Leo said in his letter that he's planning a party for you. That should be fun. And you'll get to see everyone in person again.

Tessa nodded brightly, swinging her feet off the bed and standing. "It's been ages since I've seen them. I've been out of the loop for months, so somebody's going to have to fill me in on everything that's happened." She felt a pang of regret; ordinarily it would be Bianca, but she supposed she'd be relying on Nic this time.

Maybe you should talk to Ricardo. In his last letter, you said he sounded kind of... down. Sad.

"Yeah..." In truth, she was still a little embarrassed around Ricardo. She had been perhaps a little unfair to him when he first came out to her, and it was mortifying to think that she'd crushed on him for so many years, especially given their current situation.
Izzy's voice called her name from downstairs, and Tessa jumped. "I guess it's time to leave," she murmured, crossing the room to grab her belongings.

Don't forget what Giovanni's last letter said either. About the whole Cora thing. Be delicate around Nicolas, don't mention it too much.

"Thanks, Lizzie," she murmured, tone softening at the mention of Nic. "I- uh, I'm going to pack the journal now. I'll speak to you again as soon as I get to Hogwarts, okay?"

Please don't take me to the party. If someone found out about me, it could ruin all of our plans! Especially if Bianca of all people found out, and you know how nosy she is. I told you that we needed her for the plan, remember?

"O- okay," Tessa frowned at the writing. I guess Lizzie knows what she's doing. She muttered a goodbye and closed the journal before stuffing it in the inside compartment of her suitcase and making her way downstairs.
