She giggles, starting toward the suite.

(So Ellie doesn't want to just kick Fay out of hers?)

She clearly had a bit of a set-up going on in there.

Fair. It'd be very rude to steal all her stuffed animals and pillows. Especially the ones that were gifts from Ellie.

Anathema has her own collection of those.

Which is why it's rude! Anathema should share.

They will assemble the finest plushie collection this side of the Atlantic.

Excellent! 

Kiss.

Kiss!

Oh wait they were gonna rearrange the school. Can't get sidetracked.

Good thing she has Ellie here to keep her in order.

So: first things first, they should probably check that the suite's empty of people before rearranging the walls... Just so no one's very alarmed. Or at least warn the inhabitants.

Quick scope through, no Fay no Grim no Bellatrix no Scarlet...

No Malcolm or Elodie...

Seems like they're good to go!

...Hm, what're their design goals here... For room sets, there's Ellie and Anathema; Bellatrix and Elodie - Elodie's often really busy lately, Bellatrix will probably join her now she's at the same risk as every other Order member; Fay; Fay's dad; Grim, though he needs a dog sized bedroom basically... Scarlet usually sleeps on top of Fay or the Potter-Cantas... They might want to move some of their stuff from the house, and it'll be nice to have their own office or lounge thing, since with the castle a lot fuller than it normally is other people might pass by the Dragon Room more often... So keep Fay's office, add another office slash library, add a dining room? So they can eat here less awkwardly. And the dining room can have enough space for their own kitchenette, or just have a separate kitchen, so they're not bothering the house elves every time they want to eat.

Seems like that covers all the bases.

Yeah. And they can always rearrange later if they need to - oh, also, bathrooms, they should have their own bathrooms...

Anathema checks the nearby rooms - she can do a bit of permanent space-warping by now, Hogwarts really likes her, but it's more graceful to not make room shapes too weird. There's mostly weird storage rooms with old desks or bizarre stuff they're not using, that she thinks can be recycled for materials or stored elsewhere with no issue, and actually if she cannibalizes those she can get Fay's suite some super nice windows. Probably mostly for the main rooms, though if she's clever she might be able to get some natural light into the other rooms... Hogwarts is more reluctant about bizarrely warping rooms with windows, though.

...Hm, maybe steal this entire row of unused classrooms and workshops, and Fay has a separate Defense office she never actually uses except for designated office hours, Anathema can steal that, just have it be part of the suite, still accessible to students during the school year. And the row has a bunch of windows. Keeping a good flow within the suite is still pretty hard, though, even if the bathrooms don't need sunlight... Maybe actually steal some of the floor above, it's currently weird roof-loft-attic space - Hogwarts is willing to put in some dormers... So Defense classrooms where they normally go. Lecture room's on the window wall - they can have the library-office next to that, with nice glass doors with glass you can make frost into Fay's office, accessible from the Defense hall... Bathroom on other side of that. Living room past that along the window wall, opening into a different hallway... Combined dining room and kitchen past that, stairs on the outer part... Part above can fit three bedrooms along the window side, Grim's smaller bedroom, another bedroom, and a bathroom on the other. They can space-warp the three bedrooms on the outer wall to have room for bathrooms, too, fairly easily. Fay's bedroom, theirs, and Grim's are decided ahead of time, Malcolm and Bellatrix can decide between them who gets the other two.

Anathema seems to be having a ton of fun doing magical architecture and interior design.

She could make a career of it, after this is over.

That'd be amazing! She hadn't really thought about it before...

She's good at it.

Heee. Thanks.

Before they can get distracted, she sets up for the shuffle, then starts hissing at the walls - and the stones flow around in front of them for a little bit...

The door vanishes and reforms, a lot nicer, with a dark rich wood with light carvings (currently not very detailed) and a lovely little window of stained glass that, like the other glass in the suite, can be make opaque or transparent as they want.

"Fancy."

Heee.

"I'll do more detail work later... And the others might wanna do some, too."

Into the living room, then? (To make sure nothing ended up weirdly squished.)

Obviously her wife did a perfect job... but they can check.

They can bask in how awesome it is, then.

Sounds good.

Into the room!

It's a lot larger than it was, with a ton of evening light from the windows - it'll be even brighter when it's properly day - and more light. There's the same amount of furniture as earlier, so it feels sparse, but the stonework and woodwork are blended together nicely. Anathema even gave them a majestic fireplace with a large wooden mantle against the outer wall. There's a good sized opening with French doors into the dining room to the right, and three smaller doors along the wall to the left. Fay's artwork and knickknacks are undamaged, though they're not arranged - everything's in a tidy set of piles around the furniture.

It's plain, still, though it's a really well made base.
