With students already leaving the school, Amaris found herself with less and less of a crowd over her and she really disliked it. The halls were getting so empty and she found most of the classrooms lacking in both students and professors. She didn't mind the lack of professors much, but it was really more of a need of attention from the students that really worried them. What was she supposed to do over the summer with such a lack of audience? Then she remembered something that made her smile broadly.

She had completely forgotten that she was going to spend the summer away from her father, with her uncle. Lorcan D'Eath, the one she liked better out of the two brothers and he wasn't even her father. Cillian was much to passive on training her, but spending the summer with her uncle was the perfect way to finally get something done. She shared many of the same interests and perspectives that Lorcan did and that was what made her want to be with him more than with her father. She, to put it simply, wanted to follow in his footsteps.

Not only that, but with the insane amount of children she heard had been "popping" out for him, she would have many eyes on her, as she knew with full certainty that she would be the most beautiful out of his daughters. Alexis and Damitrius were pretty, she would give them that, but her cousins didn't know how to use that to their advantage. And there was also the fact that they didn't really fit into their family well. Damitrius was an outsider because of her house and faction choice, though Amaris had a certain soft spot for her younger cousin. Alexis had been the only one in their entire family, that she knew of, to misplace her vampire blood. Still, Amaris also looked up to her older cousin as she knew her other cousin, Lily, did as well.

Still knowing that they hadn't seen her in quite a while, thanks to her father's peculiar need to shield his children from their aunt and uncle, Amaris also knew that for a while, she would be the center of attention. After all, she hadn't seen them in so long and then she was just going to be moving in with them for the summer, while her father freaked out that she was there. (Though he wouldn't do anything about it, since Amaris would be of age then and she would be able to do as she placed.) And that was what pleased Amaris the most, that her cousin's eyes would be on her, for however long that would last. It would be enough to get her past the summer without going crazy. That was all she could ask for.

Now, as she was brought back into the real world, Amaris noticed that she was still in Hogwarts, and that she was all alone on the first floor of the school. Pouting a bit, the sixteen year old Slytherin figured that she would go to the now rather empty Arithmancy classroom that was located on that floor. It was as good a place as any to spend a little bit of time alone, no matter how much she didn't want to. Although, knowing the randomness of some of the students in that school, or what remained of them right now, she doubted that her loneliness would last long.
