Lily had only been a werewolf for two days but was already starting to see some changes in herself. She could sense things, hear things, smell things... and she felt as though she knew where Adrian was at all time, which was a weird feeling. Some of it was probably just intuition, not necessarily the wolf kicking in, but still. It was nice to feel so alive so... refreshed.
Speaking of refreshed, Lily had snuck into the Prefects bathroom using her amazing skills of flirting and eavesdropping. Getting the password was fairly easy and she had been sneaking in there for years. She had just finished a long and lovely bath when she stepped out, dried herself off and got dressed. She ruffled her hair a little bit before it was instantly dry via spellwork.
Then, she stepped out of the prefects bathroom and prepared to make a quick get away, but not before running full on into someone on her way out the door.
"Gods sorry-" she stopped, looking up to smirk and Irina Krum.

Irina's evening had gotten much brighter when her owl Arthur had brought a letter from her aunt back in Bulgaria. She happened to be a favorite of hers; a Curse-Breaker for the Bulgarian wizarding bank who was always filled with interesting stories. This three page letter gave Rina every detail of a recent trip to the Catacombs of Rome to break into one of the old emperors tombs for the treasure. While her parents wanted her to play Quidditch for a living like they had, she found herself more and more leaning towards a career like her aunt. She knew that one of the Weasley sons was a Curse Breaker for Gringotts here in the United Kingdom, and it had definitely crossed her mind to reach out to him.
She was rereading the letter for a third time, hungry for any missed details on the first two reads and wasn't paying attention to where she was going. She knew she was on the fifth floor somewhere and she vaguely saw a bewlidered looking statue in the corner of her eye. Suddenly a flash of red hair was in front of her and Lily Potter was smack in front of her. "Lily! I didn't know you knew the password to the Prefect's bathroom," she exclaimed, though in reality it wasn't too shocking. Lily usually could find her way into places she wasn't supposed to be. She hesitated before speaking again; Lily had been acting rather different the past few days, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to talk about it or not.

Lily gave a graceful shrug as Irina called her out, ruffling her fingers through her hair once more. "Awe, you know me. I want something and then I take it," she chuckled. It was a true statement, but she said it in a lighthearted fashion, meeting to sound more casual and joking rather than serious. She raised an eyebrow at the paper in Irinas had, "what's that now? A love letter?" she joked, moving to fold her arms across her chest. She casually sniffed the air, smiling as she did so. "Aw, the prefects bathroom sure has some great smelling salts. I could get you in if you wanted, Rin," it didn't really matter how close Lily was to someone, she would still give them a nickname. She had known Irina for years though, so it wasn't a new thing to either of them.
"But really. It smells great out here, new perfume?" she guessed. Or perhaps it was just the smell of her own skin after soaking in that deliciously delightful tub only moments ago. Her sense of smell was stronger now though and it made it hard to tell where the smells were coming from. That was something she would have to work on...

Irina laughed at Lily's statement. She really couldn't argue with the fact that if Lily wanted something she'd get it eventually. "I might take you up on that offer, sixth years turning out to be more stressful than I was expecting," she said with a smile. "I think that smell is you Lily, I haven't changed my perfume in two years."
She looked back down at her letter when Lily questioned it. "No, it's not a love letter, more of an adventure letter. It's from my aunt the Curse Breaker; she's describing her adventures in the Roman Catacombs. It's quite interesting actually. This time last year I didn't know what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, but reading my aunt's letters make me sort of want to follow in her footsteps," she told her. Folding up the letter and putting it back in her pocket, she smiled again. "What about you? Any ideas for wild adventures when we leave Hogwarts in two years?" she asked, her smile faltering for just a moment.

Lily chuckled. She didn't find school stressful at all, mostly because she didn't ever worry about anything she was supposed to do, "aw, you'll be okay. I hear seventh year is worse," she said with a little chuckle. She knew she wasn't being the least bit supportive, but she hoped the humor would put a little dent in Irina's stress. As Irina went on to explain what the letter was, Lily's eyes widened. "Oooh! That sounds amazing. Your aunt is basically the coolest. You'll do great at that," Lily really meant it too. She always thought the best of people, especially people that she liked!
"OOH, I have a lot planned," like running around with the werewolves for several months right after graduation. That was the dream. Her and Adrian, running about finding other werewolves and finding what it's like to be wild and free. That was the goal. At least for a little while, Lily didn't like to think she really had any specific plans... even though she kinda did. "we could easily hit up Egypt, maybe even join your aunt in Rome! That'd be fun, no?" she moved to link arms with Irina before moving down the hall.

Rina beamed as Lily mentioned how cool her aunt was. She agreed with her of course, and her aunt had joined them several times when they had gone on vacation with the Potter and Weasley clans. She had always been full of stories about the crazy tombs and castles she had broken curses for, each more fascinating than the last. She knew the coursework she would have to take to become a Curse Breaker, but more and more she was beginning to feel that it was worth it.
"Egypt would be amazing, didn't your Uncle Bill curse break there? We could definitely get some tips on where to go from him I think," she told her, walking alongside her friend easily. "There are even some castles in the United Kingdom that have curses on them, preventing people from getting to their treasure," she added, her green eyes glinting. "I wonder if the castle the myth of Camelot was based on has a curse on it? It's got to at least exist, doesn't it?" she said excitedly.

"Uncle Bill would love to tell you about it! Trust me, sometimes he doesn't shut up about the good ol' days," she chuckled. Really she loved her Uncle Bill. She and he probably had the most in common out of all of her aunts and uncles. As Irina went on to express her thoughts about cursed castles in the United Kingdom, Lily's eyes brightened as well. "Ooh, now there's an idea! Camelot's castle no doubt existed, since Merlin was a real wizard. I doubt that he would let the muggles write such stories if they weren't true," the wizard must have known it would all become myth someday, but Lily was sure that Arthur, at least, was real. "I vote we just check it out this summer, no point waiting until you're licensed," she chuckled, not actually joking in any fashion. Lily was sure they could get plenty of people to join their exploratory squad of sorts. Irina Rose Krum

Rina considered the thought of going on to find Camelot for a moment, then smiled. "I think it sounds like an adventure not worth waiting to be a licensed Curse Breaker for," she agreed. The idea that Camelot was a real place had always been a sort of dream or fantasy for her, and she was glad that someone else thought it may exist too. "Do you think it's in England, or Wales or Scotland? It's definitely not in Ireland, I'm positive on that one," she mused. She glanced over at Lily quickly before looking ahead again. She seemed her normal self, but Rina still had the feeling something was a bit different about her. She seemed more...alive and free.
She stopped walking for a moment, and turned to Lily. "But how would we get our parents to actually agree to let us go? With everything that's been happening, I think our dads would be worried about us galavanting across the countryside?" she asked her, looking concerned. She hated to be a killjoy but she knew she was bringing up a fair point.

Fairpoint Shmairpoint. Lily didn't believe in following orders, not really. She raised an eyebrow at her friend, "whatever country it's in, I couldn't tell you. But come on-" she whined, clasping Irinas arm at the elbow, "this is the dangerous country, right? The bad things are happening here. Maybe they'd want us to leave for the summer. No doubt the murders this year are building up to something, and do doubt that something is going to be revealed soon... maybe it'll be safer somewhere else anyway," Lily believed all of that, of course, but she didn't really care about being safe. She understood that safety wasn't possible, not really, so why not do what you want and be as 'unsafe' as you wanted? She became a werewolf, didn't she? It wasn't safe, not by any means, but is anything? Irina Rose Krum (short one, sorry!)

Rina studied her friend for a moment; Lily was definitely different. Sure she had always been more carefree than most, but it was something different now. "You're probably right of course. We'd probably be safer moving from town to town searching for the lost castle than staying in one place with our famous fathers. Since we'll both be of age we can also protect ourselves legally with magic. Maybe if we put some dueling practice in there would be less fight from our parents?" she suggested. She wanted extra practice anyway, and she knew her father would talk her mother down if he felt she was prepared to face the world out on her own.
Rina chose her next words carefully. "So you and me are in, who else do you want to invite along on this adventure?" she asked her. She was curious if she'd suggest inviting the Greyback werewolf Adrian - they had seemed very close lately.

"Awe, excellent idea. Neville can vouch for our participating in the dueling club. Good thinking!" she added with a bright smile of excitement. Then Irina asked who else she'd like to invite along. Her mine went straight to Adrian, but she pushed him aside for a moment. No need to be so eager... "Anna, of course! She's my cousin, you know her, she needs to have some crazy adventures too. Aw, I'm sure my brothers would like to come but I think we should probably let them handle themselves this summer. Bringing them together would be... unwise," she frowned. Her brothers loved each other, sure, but they were always fighting. It got rather annoying at times. Irina Rose Krum

Irina nodded in agreement with the idea of Anna. She had always liked the year older Gryffindor; she certainly didn’t hold any grudges against her for being the daughter of Viktor Krum. Perhaps that was just a Ron Weasley’s daughter thing. “James would want to bring Aurora if he does come,” Rina mused. She had dated James for a hot second her fourth year, but they had realized very quickly they were better off as just friends and she bore him no ill will. “What do you think of her?” she asked, curious to know what Lily’s thoughts were. “And, I’d imagine Adrian would have some interest in coming?” she added quickly with a small smile. If Lily was going to dance around the idea of inviting him, she didn’t have a problem diving right into the issue.

At the mention of Aurora, Lily just shrugged. "Eh, I honestly I haven't tried to get to know her," she said, "I don't really care to get to know James's 'conquests'," she joked, chuckling at her words. Then Irina brought up Adrian and Lily tried not to show any emotion on her face. She would love if Adrian came on a trip with her. But she would never tell him that, nor Irina. "He'd like that," she said, giving a noncommittal shrug, "I'll ask him next time I see him," she finished. "Anyone else? Hugo?" Irina Rose Krum

“Hey, watch who you’re calling James’ conquest,” she teased, bumping her friend in the shoulder lightly. She would hardly call herself a conquest of James’ but she didn’t know what everyone else thought, but nor did she care to. “You know, according to Abby, Aurora isn’t just one of James’ conquests. She might be ‘The One’” she said casually, sneaking a small smile.
Irina hesitated when Lily mentioned Hugo, though she wished she hadn’t. She had absolutely no quarrels with Hugo whatsoever; he was a year below her and a very nice guy who didn’t seem to like to touch people. His sister however. “I like Hugo, I do. But he’d probably tell Rose, and well, you know how famously she and I get along,” she said with a nervous laugh. Rose and Rina had disliked each other since childhood; she barely knew why anymore. Something to do with their fathers’ rivalry over Hermione Granger, Rose’s mother. Sometimes she wondered if it would just be easier to bury the hatchet, but Rina was stubborn; Rose would have to make the first move on that one.

Lily chuckled as Irina bumped shoulders with her. She had forgotten that there was a thing there between them once. Lily shuddered at the thought of this 'the one' nonsense. "Yikes, how can people make that sort of decision at seventeen? I mean, I guess my parents did but... well, it's still weird!" She didn't laugh, because she truly thought it was insane to rush into such things. Then Irina mentioned Rose along with Hugo and Lily groaned, "why must people not get along? You guys are ridiculous," she laughed now, because she really didn't care who Irina did and did not get along with. "Maybe it'll just be us two," she said. Irina Rose Krum
