 Please note that I'm not copying the landscape of anyone else's home, the landscaping is loosely based on my house in real life.
First, a description. Lillian has earned this house ever since she and her husband separated, so it wasn't her first house. It's in the London area. It is a tudour style house, two stories high, with wood surrounding it and a large river and field nearby.You cannot enter by apparating, though the house is not unplottable. Some of the rooms have undetectable extension charms on them, just the master bathroom and music room. The music room is the room Lillian cares most about, and the master bathroom's bathtub has jets in it, as well as the pool.
The house contains 3 bedrooms, the master bedroom, Al's bedroom, and a guest bedroom. Lillian always wanted 3 bedrooms just incase Al ever did stay with her, since though she couldn't always show it, she did want her daughter to be welcomed if she could ever return.
It has three bathrooms. Two of them are very classic and gorgeous, one coming off of the master bedroom, another coming off of the guest bedroom. Al's bedroom though, is more modern so the bathroom is very unusual and modern as well. Each bathroom comes off of one of the bedrooms. There are large closets for each of the bedrooms.
There is one living room, but it looks like it's two rooms combined. The kitchen is next to it, the kitchen is located in the tower part of the house, so it's circular. On the other side of the kitchen is the dining room. There's a large room at the back which has a pool in it and some chairs at the end creating a small enclosed porch. The pool has light in it that can shine all different colors and look gorgeous at night time. Above the kitchen, in the second level of the house is the music room.
The music room has an enchantment on it which makes the sound of the room even out, so the accoustics are good and it also quiets any other noise in the room, so if the noise downstairs is high, you won't be able to hear it in the music room. The library is on the other side of the music room, at the top of the rounded staircase. It has books about everything and anything. She does have a small bar next to the music room, but it's hidden. You have to play or sing a certain song to get to it. (She changes it every month or so, it's a secret how it works)
There is last but not least, a large gazebo in the backyard, inbetween the house and the river. It has a large round swing that gives a perfect view of the sunset. Vibrato the phoenix and my owl Shadow usually hang around by the gazebo or by the small patio across from the pool area.

After one really long ride in a muggle cab, they finnally reached home. Lillian got pushed up the hill by Al and couldn't wait to see her face when they got inside. Al was already looking stunned just from the outside, and this wasn't even the best part. Lillian's only worry was how she was going to get up and down the rounded stairs. She did have her wand in her pocket...if Al was there, she was sure Al would let her use it for something as simple as this.

Al's jaw dropped when she saw the outside. There was a tower? It was gorgeous. It wasn't a huge mansion like you would assume a headmistress would have, but Al didn't really want that in the first place. All that space for two people? Sounded kinda gloomy. But this...this was perfect. They went inside and her mouth opened even further. The kitchen was huge, the living room and dining room on either sides of it were so neat...She didn't know what to say. They went around the entire first floor and Al had just stood there gaping for a while at the pool. When they went upstairs she was a bit nervous to see her room. Every other room in the house had been old-fashioned. She was more into the modern style with pink colors, and so far she'd not really seen that. She took a deep breath and opened the door. It was exactly what she wanted. It was like from a whole other house. She lept on the bed and hugged the pillows and shrieked with delight at the sight of her own modern bathroom and huge closet. It was a dream come true.

"I take it you like it?" Lillian said laughing as Al ran around screaming joyfully. She knew that even if she was a bit more old-fashioned, teens and pre-teens rarely were. So she had designed Al's room special, like something from a magazine. Al jumped for joy and hugged Lillian and ran around some more until she was all worn out. "You all burnt out?" Lillian asked, ready to flop on her bed and sleep herself. It had been a long day.

"Only if it means sleeping on this bed!" Al said happily. She jumped onto the bed and then ran into her closet and changed into some PJs that were already in there. They fit perfectly and she walked out, fell on the bed after untying her hair, and fell asleep almost in about a minute.

Lillian smiled and wheeled over so she was a bit closer to Al. She felt a pang of guilt for not showing her the bar, and just for keeping it a secret in the first place.She felt worse, however, for not being able to see Al sleep when she was a kid. Lillian wheeled around the bed and tucked Al in, then wheeled to her own room, wheezing a bit. She put her wand on her night table, hoisted herself up from her wheelchair and lay in bed for a while, thinking. Thinking about Desdemona, Callysto, Al, Drago's mother...her thought eventually became foggy and she felt asleep coughing a bit, the tiny specks of blood blending in, not noticable among the red sheets.

Tallow:  Must deliver letter. Must deliver letter. Tallow thought in his hyper active owl mind. He had made it to his destination just to be stopped by a closed window. As he fluttered in the air, he scratched at the window with his tallons. Letter: Dear Al, I hope your enjoying your new house. My family had just got home yesterday to find Sarah, Dragonia's missing girl, was waiting for us. So I guess we don't have to search for her. I hope Tallow isn't bugging you right now. Enjoy yourself, I love you and I can't wait for the time we can visit each other.

Al woke up to an owl she recognized as Tallow fluttering it's wings on her window. "Shh, okay okay." She said, opening the window. She read the letter through, smiling and gave the owl a small treat. "Wait here, I'll give you my reply." She sent the owl off, watching as it flew into the blue sky. ((I'll post the letter in your house.))
She yawned, stretched, and changed into some new clothes, then sat around for a bit, admiring her new room and exploring.

Lillian woke up the next morning feeling a bit worried. Callysto would be coming to stay, and she hadn't even really thought about that. What would Al think? She knew Al probably wouldn't mind since she hadn't minded before when the wedding was on...but would Callysto hate the house? Should be show Callysto the private bar? Would she hate indoor pools? Worry ate at her mind and only began to ebb away when she had breakfast with her daughter, feeling well-rested, having slept in her own bed and not the hospital wings'.

"Uhm...Al?" She asked tentatively over the plate of waffles, "You wouldn't mind if Callysto lived here as well right? I just wanted to be sure you're okay with it. You're my daughter, you're more important, so if you say no, I'll understand and tell her she can't stay."

"Nope!" Al said smiling. "Of course I don't mind. As long as she never kicks me out of the pool since I never really got to swim a lot before, and now I'll be doing it this whole summer." She grinned.

"Haha, I'll be sure she doesn't hog the pool." Lillian laughed. She gagged a bit on the waffles going uneasily down her throat, but only a droplet of blood came up her throat. She felt much better to be in her own home with Al. It was like a dream that was long overdue.

Tallow:Deliver letter. Deliver letter. Letters taste funny. Watch moth. No, deliver letter. OOO People. Ran through Tallow's mind as he got to his destination at Al's house and saw two people sitting in the porch with the windows open. He flew in and landed on Al's head, dropping the letter on her lap.
Letter: Dear Al,
Yeah, she's very happy now. She has'nt stopped smiling since. I can't wait to see you either and I think that would be perfect. I bet I could swim faster than you.
I've come up with a way for my family to make money by selling owl pellets to scientists. We might be able to renivate and make our house bigger! Also, Dragonia found a stray cat that she is now calling Tin-tin. He follows her around everywhere. Hope to see you soon.
Love Drago
