Violet turned her head to see Elektra had disappeared, she just sighed a little immediately knowing where she went...the loo. Violet swore that girl had the same exact bladder of..of..a kitten. She just gave it a light wave, they would definitely see her in a bit. Violet then heard her father's voice and listened Selina's conversation with her father. After their discussion Violet called to her father lightly,"Thank you Mr. Skylar!" She looked back at Selina and then asked eagerly,"Which way to my room?"

"Yeah thanks a heap, Da!" Selina reiterated after Violet had called down stairs.

Jake was halfway through his front door holding several pieces of luggage that piled over his head when he heard Selina again. He groaned as he tried to reply. However, all of the luggage that was piled over his head muffled the sound. All he could do was look back behind him where the wall of luggage was still very much intact. Man, this girl had a lot of clothes.

Selina did not hear a reply back from her father but shrugged it off. Then she looked at Violet who had just posed a question and turned to the door down the hall. She knew that Violet would pick up on it soon. So all Selina did was point to the door with a smile on her face, "There is your room, made specially for you and this summer. Mom said I could, go take a look inside."

Violet did feel kind of bad for making Mr. Skylar have to carry her all of her bags, and the solution was; she HAD to find a way to repay Mr. Skylar for his kindness! When Selina pointed her to the door that held her room Violet gasped and then quickly walked over to the gorgeous pink door. She softly ran her hand over the pink wood examining it's gorgeous design. She looked up seeing two little pink flowers perched at the top of her door. Violet looked at Selina and said lightly,"Lovely touch!" She then softly put her hand over the door knob and slowly turned it opening the door very slowly. Violet's eyes widened and her mouth dropped as she looked around the room. It...was....PERFECT! She walked into the room and took it all in, the bed was gorgeous, the walls were the absolute perfect shade of a rose pink, and the lighting from the sunlight made it even more beautiful. Violet tried her best but then couldn't contain herself anymore, she suddenly ran and jumped onto her bed and squealed loudly. Then she said excitedly,"OH MY SWEET MERLIN IT'S WONDERFUL!!" Violet hopped off of the bed and ran to Selina who was standing in the doorway and tackled her giving the biggest hug saying,"Oh thank you Sely, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! And....thank you!"

Selina watched from the door frame, perched like an owl, her friend's fit about the room. Everything that Violet examined was like it was the greatest thing in the world. It made Selina feel good. Like all of the hard work she had put into making her friend feel at home had payed off. She was glad that she was in a position to make her friends feel so welcome. Of course, it wasn't her money, it was her parents, but if they were willing to let her use it to be a good host she would not complain.

Then Violet ran all around the room in excitement giggling and jumping about. Her laughter was contagious and Selina broke into hysterics with her. From across the room Violet ran over and tackled Selina. "Oh hey, oi vey. You're crushing me. So I'm guessing you'll feel comfortable here for the next month?"

Jake crashed through the door, hands full of bags and they cascaded to the floor. Looking up at the two girls who were hugging he said, "Engorgio!" All of the bags he had shrunk to make his travel only one trip became their natural size. The side of the room that was once empty near the vanity was now loaded up with luggage. "You may want to unload that, dear." He advised.

Selina looked up at her Dad and said, "Thanks Dad... bye!"

He could take the hint. No Dads. Got it.

Alex approached his niece with Sophie carrying her bags and he put them in front of him and looked at Elektra. "If you need anything at all-"

"I know Uncle Alex." Elektra said. "Don't worry you'll be the first to know.

Alex smiled and chuckled then gave his niece a huge hug and lifted her off the ground and placed her back down. Oh, Elektra knew what Alex was going to say next. He could tell by the way Elektra looked at him and he did it anyway. He put on his faake macho man accent and raised his eyebrow and says, "I lift things up and put them down."

Elektra squeaked when her uncle picked her up. She hugged him back tightly not really wanting to let him go. She loved her uncle so much, but then again...she was about to spend a whole month at Selina's place and away from everything else so she couldn't complain. Once Alex put her down and he gave his stupid little line that he loves to say she groaned and rolled her eyes. "Uncle Alex." she chuckled. She couldn't help but hug him again and she kissed his cheek. "I love you."

Alex felt his niecequickly hug him agai and he kisses her forehead. "I love you too sweetheart. Just behave and have fun alright?"

Elektra nodded. "You know I will." And with that she watched Alex say his goodbyes to Sophie and Alex left. Elektra then followed her two friends and...uh-oh...yeah....uh-oh. Elektra had to go to the bathroom. She tried to make it seem like she didn't have to at first, but she had a bladder of a kitten. "Um...Selina...where's the bathroom?" she said lightly dancing in her place and she chuckled. "I know I have a bladder of a kitten!" she blurted out and as soon as Selina told her where the bathroom room was...she was off. Now the funniestthing ever would be Elektra getting lost inside after going to bathroom...right?

After Elektra walked out of the bathroom she was wiping her still slightly damp hands on her pants and she looked around not seeing her friends anywhere. She stood in place and looked around. "Se-Selina? Violet? Anybody?" Elektra began walking away from the bathroom and started to explore around, well more like nearly scared the living daylights out of her as she walked around the huge castle known as Whitley Hall.

Sophie watched as Alex and Elektra said their goodbyes. It was sweet how an Uncle could be so close to his niece. Then again Selina was very close with Jennette and Jeremy- Jake's siblings. However, the eldest Skylar, Jace, seemed to distance himself from his family. The Durmstrang teacher was a good man, but a man on a mission to fulfill his life in whatever way he saw fit. Alex, however, reminded Sophie of Jeremy and Jennette. Sweet, funny, and yet still serious when the situation presented it.

"We'll take good care of her, Alex. If at any point you need to see her just floo us and I'll open up the apparation for you like I did today. Enjoy your summer!"

Once he was off, Sophie ushered the girls inside and went to the kitchen as the three girls ran off in their own separate directions. Walking over to the fridge she pulled out the essentials for lunch. She knew after all of the exploring the girls were bound to do that they would all be very hungry.

Jake finally walked down the stairs after dropping off all Violet's luggage in the girl's temporary room. Merlin, that girl had a lot of clothes. He assumed that wasn't even the load of it looking at the little girl. As he panted down the stairs he saw a very confused looking girl in his foyer. Her face seemed to ring a bell with him. What was it? Maybe it was the eyes or maybe it was the hard features, but he could not place the face. It would come to him later.

When she called out for her friends, Jake pointed up stairs and said, "Pink door to the left."

After giving out directions he went into the kitchen to see his wife at work for lunch. While she worked she chewed on her bottom lip for concentration and kept brushing a single strand of her brunette hair out of her face. He leaned on the frame of the door to watch his wife some more. Everything she did was with great care and precision. She was everything he had ever wanted and sometimes the best moments were when she was just doing something as simple as making lunch. Her air about her would just send sparks through the room.

She finally looked up and blushed under his gaze. He always did that, watched her with a soft smile on his lips. It was a habit he had adapted at Hogwarts and he refused to let it go when they began to date and then married.

"Why are you starring at me? You know it makes me self-concious."


"You think it's a crime I stare at my beautiful wife? Well then I don't mind being a criminal. Put me in chains warden." He joked moving toward his wife and wrapping his arms around her middle from behind.

"Stop it," She whined, "We have three little girls in the house."

"I know, I just carried ALL of Violet's luggage in the house. Speaking of those girls, the one who must be Elektra by process of elimination. I feel like I know her. Any thoughts as to why?" He asked kissing the top of his wife's head.

Sophie froze. She knew this question was coming, but this was fast. He had put the pieces together that took Sophie a while and an assistant by the name of Alex. What would she tell him? The truth of course. But how would he handle that truth? Not well she supposed. Connor Draven was always a sore spot with her husband. The scar he had on his lower back was proof of that. She thought that the scar was small being only a few centimeters big, but Jake saw it as a sign of weakness. Of course that day when that scar was made Jake returned back a larger one on Connor's calf, but still men hated signs of weakness.

Turning away from her husband she went back to her task. As nonchalant as she could muster she said, "Oh yeah, she's Connors kid."

"Connor Draven?" Jake spat. The name didn't even need to be answered because he knew it the moment she mentioned Connor's first name. That little slippery git produced spawn? Who would even want to reproduce with him? Not Sophie... he had won that battle a long time ago. But now with his daughter under Jake's roof he was bound to come poking around back in his life. That was NOT acceptable. He was going to have to stay out of his life like he had for over ten years now. The last time the pair of them had heard from Connor was when he came back looking for Sophie. Luckily that day she was not home and she still never knew about it, but Jake did. That day was one that would forever stay etched in his memory. Never forget...

"No, Sophie! The kid can stay, but he is not coming!"

"Be mature about this!"

"No! The kid has given me no cause to hate her so I;m fine with her. But her father? I HATE him. He cannot ever come here. Do you understand?"

"You will NOT talk to me like I am Selina. I am not your daughter. I am your wife. So check yourself Jake Skylar! And he is a grown man as are you. You will not let things that happened when you were teenagers define who you are as men!"

"We will talk about this later." Jake said. He did not want to upset Sophie anymore. But he was going to let it be known. This was his castle and his queen and princess were his. No knight was going to come in and mess that dynamic up!

As Elektra kept looking around she turned and saw Selina's father and she stood still. Her jaw dropped slightly and then quickly swallowed spit. "Uh...uh...thank you sir." She said softly and then ran off to the pink door that she saw. She was not surprised to see a pink door for Violet. "Umm Selina I didn't- I didn't know your father was home too. He told to find the pink door and- Oh, bloody hell." She stopped by the door and then slowly walked inside the room with hesitation. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! ALL OF THIS PINK!!!!!!! Don't faint Elektra! Don't faint!!! Elektra was speechless as she looked around the room. Wow Selina really went all out for Violet. It did match Violet's bubbly charm and her bubbly everything basically. Elektra chuckled and rubbed her arm.

Selina looked over at Elektra who was just joining them in Violet's new room. Suddenly Elektra seemed to shake with fear in the very pink room. It was then that Selina went over and rubbed her friends forearm. "You alright?" Then Elektra screamed and Selina jumped back, "BLOODY HELL!"

After things calmed down Selina said, "Wait, you mentioned my Dad. Is everything alright with him?"

After Elektra had calmed down she exhaled out softly and she nodded. "Yeah, your father seemed alright. He stared at me though. Like in a creepy old man type way. I don't know, but-" Elektra looked around the room and she nearly cringed at the pink in the room. "Gaaah all of this pink!"

Selina was confused as to Elektra's explanation of her father. In all of her life her Dad had never been creepy or at least creepy to strangers. He was generally a nice guy, but why Elektra didn't find her nice was beyond her. Then she remembered the look on Elektra's face when she first came in the room, "Ewwwww! Do you think my Dad's cute or something?"

Trying to avoid her answer Selina said, "Come on. I'll show you your quarters."

Elektra's eyes widened and she raised her eyebrow. "What the bloody hell are you talking about? Ewww no!" She said grimacing at what Selina just said and then she looked at Violet and shook her head. "Can you believe that nonsense she just said? Oi yi yi yi yi." As Selina changed the subjext Elektra shook her head and walked out of the room. "You make me laugh Selina."

Violet had eventually calmed herself down from the excitement of how PERFECT her room was. Then she listened to Selina and Elektra's comments, which led up to Selina asked if Elektra thought her father was cute. Violet heard Elektra deny it...of course, but then Violet decided to cut in when Elektra asked her the nonsense Selina had just asked,"Actually Elektra, I can tell that you're not telling us the truth, because I know that face you make when you see something you like..Because you did the SAME EXACT thing when you saw MY father at Platform 9 3/4!" Violet then pointed her finger and placed it on Elektra's nose saying,"So don't try to deny it Miss Draven....We both know you very well..." She then whispered a bit aggressively,"Especially me...." Her eyes narrowed as she stared into Elektra's eyes.

Selina looked between the two girls. Things had just become very tense. Violet was the most beautiful person she knew. Her eyes just echoed the very windows to her soul. But in Violet's famous stare downs her beauty always became contorted and almost bird like. Her eyes were staring at Elektra through slits and she seemed to be on a mission for the truth. The little Veela was not known to back down.

Trying to defuse some tension Selina said, "Violet... maybe you should calm down. You know before you get to... that point."

Elektra raised her eyebrow and slowly started backing away from both of them. "Ok, I'm just...going to curl up into a ball and hide in a corner because Violet wants to kill me so..." Elektra runs to a corner and curls up into a ball. "Leave me be!"

Selina began to see the upcoming battle arising. Between the two ladies they both were vicious warriors. Both, when in battle, kept their colors high- pink billowing in the wind and black dancing through the air. Yet, in her home Selina wanted to keep the confrontations between the two best friends at a minimum. It was summer holiday. They were there to have fun and her father would not start an argument that would start the summer in bad taste.

"Right, well, Elektra. Let's go see your room, shall we ladies?"

Dragging a modest trunk behind her, Kurumi made her way to the doors of Selina's home and stopped at the door. Why was it that all of her friends seemed to be so wealthy? Looking down at herself in her lose jeans and white long sleeved shirt. Perhaps she should have dressed more formally? Not to mention that she probably looked like something Walnut had dragged in. She really needed to figure out a way for her to be able to sneak out of the house and go places by means of wizarding transportation. Ryunosuke said he would think of something, and then there was the news that her father would be working in Diagon Alley...so there was hope that this would be her final long flight on an airplane for a long time.

Selina was dragging herself back from the Pitch after a long day of practice on the Pitch. With her Dad off at summer training for the season and her mother at the Ministry for the day Selina figured to get in a good solid work out. Of course now her red hair that was fashioned up in her usual high pony tail for Quidditch was adorned with sweat and dirt. Her clothes were dirty and obviously worked in. But somehow she loved it. Nothing was better than a nice quiet day on the Pitch. Selina swore it was the best investment her father had ever made.

Taking a sip of her water canister Selina walked back to her house. While she reached the outside of her house she saw Kurumi standing still outside her front door. It was quite an odd sight. The girl had just stopped still outside the house. No knock, no call, no nothing. Raising her eyebrows Selina walked up behind Kurumi and touched her shoulder, "Hey Kurumi. What are you doing just standing outside?"

Kurumi's cheeks flushed as she turned on her heels and looked at Selina. "I was just...um...I just...." she looked back at the door. "Waiting to see if you would See me?"

She knew it was a lame excuse, but it was the best she could come up with.

Selina smiled at her friend and said, "It's good to see you Kurumi!" With that Selina hugged her friend that she had not seen the entire summer. It seemed like she saw everyone else but Kurumi. Even her mother had seen Kurumi's father who apparently had a fascination with photography.

Realizing she was drenched in sweat Selina pulled out of the hug, "Sorry. Sweaty."

Elektra stood up quickly and nodded. "We shall. Let's go see mey room." She said and looked at Violet and Selina and then walked out of Violet's room. Elektra ran her fingers through her hair and looked around the place still in awe at how huge this place looked. She only imagined what Violet's place looked like. She probably owned her own island.

Selina looked at the black door that sat right beside Violet's pink room. She hoped, with beaded breath, that Elektra liked her room. To be honest, decorating her room for the stay was the hardest. Elektra had an element of mystery about her that Selina could never unravel. Something was always alluding about Elektra like there were so many secrets around her that she just closed up under questioning.

Taking a deep breath she opened the door and said, "Your room..."

Elektra looked right at the black door and slowly a smile began to form on her lips. She nodded and then exhaled out slowly. "Ah, now that is a color that I love Selina." Elektra was in love with the door. She could only imagine what her room would look like.. If Violet's was all decked out like that then that must mean Elektra's room may be decked out just like that.

Selina held her breath as her small fingers laced around the knob of the door. This room was particularly tricky with investing the correct amount of care into it. She could not make it overly pretty for fear of Elektra feeling claustrophobic. On the flip side it could not be a boy's room because Elektra would take offense to anyone seeing her as a boy. So this room was quite tricky for Selina and she had put a great amount of effort into it's decoration.

Pulling open the door she said, "Here you are Elektra. Home for the next month."

When Selina opened the door Elektra walked through the black door and her jaw dropped. Looking around the room she was in awe. Oh, bloody hell. Elektra was speechless. She couldn't say a word. The room...was...PERFECT!!! Elektra looked at the bed and ran right to it and flopped down. "Oh, my God Selina this is amazing! This is...this is perfect!!"

Selina bit down on her thumb nervously, "Really? You like it?" She hoped her friend did. She had done so much in preparation for her two friends staying. It was an event that she had been dreaming about, having the pair over her home, since the two had agreed to come. So much had happened between the three and the chance to get to spend more time with them was always a plus.

"So, um, you two wanna go play some Quidditch?"
