[color=deepskyblue][i]Magic ♪ Magic ♫ Magic ♪ Magic ♫ Magic ♪[/i][/color]

The little song had occupied Lilie's thoughts as she and Salem parted ways, the young girl practically skipping to her class. Seeing as how she would end up having Spell Theory in the Rose Hall as well, she figured she would minimize her chances of getting lost. But vampires, her stress and anxiety, any previous sense of doubt she had--absolutely none of that stuff was even worth thinking about right now, because finally, [i]finally[/i] she was going to learn the one thing she had wanted ever since that fateful day six months ago.

[i]Magic.[/i]

Granted, mastering her affinity was Lilie's most urgent priority first and foremost; having a repeat disaster was the very last thing she wanted. Once she had that under wraps, she would allow herself to branch out. There had been a few books in the Eve dorm that she had skimmed and found out the possibilities were endless. As excited as she was, though, she promised herself to focus on one thing at a time. Spreading herself too thin wouldn't get her anywhere, and she was approaching this the same way she would approach her schoolwork back in high school: focus one, master it, perfect it, then move on to the next.

She kept that in mind as she listened intently to the Professor, probably a little too attentive, but she couldn't help herself. Allison had looked a little stern at first, but it was a pleasant surprise to see her warm up a bit. Either way, Lilie would make sure she gave her every ounce of attention possible. In a way her words inspired her, serving to excite the girl further still. Goodness, she was going to explode from anticipation alone at this point! There was the slightest hint of Lilie deflating as Allison mentioned the Awakening, causing Lilie to simmer down somewhat. Right, that [i]was[/i] how most mages found out, whereas she found out the hard way.

But that didn't matter anymore. Getting control was why she was here.

Lilie took in a deep breath, running her fingers through her bangs as the teaching assistants came around. As Kanalie stopped in front of her, Lilie was equally as surprised. She had never met anyone that was a stranger but looked so much like her, Kanalie's words bringing about a mix of bashfulness and hope. Sisters? She had always wanted a sister! Her heart jumped up, eating up her words, but she did manage to give Kanalie a shy smile and a [i]very[/i] enthusiastic nod. Darn, she really needed to be more vocal! But it happened so fast! 

For just the moment, Lilie would put that thought away, excited to see she had been paired with a familiar name. As Lilie found the table first, however, she couldn't quite help herself from getting mesmerized by the crystal. So this was what an Awakening crystal looked like. Remembering Allison's instructions, she gently rested her hand on it, eyes widening as she watched it take on a very nice, almost calming blue color. For just a moment she did nothing, staring at the crystal and being completely fascinated.

Right, so, she needed to push and pull? Bright and dim, bright and dim. She could feel the crystal pull at something in her--her magic. The slightest hint of nervousness pricked at her, but she pushed that down, forcing herself to focus. Right, so if she just pushed it just a touch, she would get a result. Sure enough, the blue shined brilliantly, causing the girl to gasp. Wow! As that excitement once again took over, however, she pushed too much, the blue light suddenly erupting into its fullest brightness before fading, and Lilie was hit with an odd sense of dizziness.

Taking her hand away, she was surprised to find herself actually tired despite not having actually done anything. Shoot, she must have overdone it. Shaking her head, she groaned as she put a hand to her forehead, taking a second to try to shake off the feeling.
