We leave something
of ourselves behind
when we leave a place,
we stay there,
even though we go away.
And there are things in us
that we can find again
only by going back there.

╔══════════════╗
Alissa's room.
Second floor.
╚══════════════╝

[ characteristics: Light, always filled with flowers that Ainsley have bought for her after her long work days at the ministry. Smell of rain always force its way trough the old planks around the windows. Spilled tea spots all over the light blue carpet, and piles of used teabags fills her nightstand. During summers the room is buried in unfolded clothes, but no one bothers to bug her about it. Alissa always feels at home there, in her own little light castle.]

╔══════════════╗
Iona's room.
First floor.
╚══════════════╝

[ characteristics: Not light. Asked her mother to stop bringing her flowers at the age of thirteen. But she have kept some dried dark coloured roses, that now hangs over her bed. Sometimes a rose petal falls down on to her bed and she enjoys the symbolism it brings; nothing stays beautiful forever. She was ten years old when she ordered her parents to paint the room in emerald green, including the door that is always shut. She doesn't enjoy her summers at home, but her dark decorated room reminds her of them dungeons of the Slytherin house, and that'll have to do, for now.]

╔══════════════╗
The family library.
Second floor.
╚══════════════╝

[characteristics: Smells of old books and leather. A small room, filled with all types of knowledge. Both books from the wizarding world and from muggle authors. Often occupied by Alissa and Eamon, both sitting silent in each of the leather arm chairs, reading for hours straight.]
