The common room was eerily beautifully lit just like the bedroom, with floating candles, illuminating the high ceiling and walls. Students were spread out across the room on couches, with piles of books accompanying them. A few students were hugging, clearly greeting each other after the long summer break. Fireplaces occupied all four walls. Clarissa wondered what the purpose of the fireplaces were. Sure they looked good but they held no purpose. Vampires didn't need warmth. In the center was a round table where a few vampires were helping themselves to bottles of blood, labelled with various animal names. Clarissa led the group to the table, settling herself onto one of the wooden chairs. ' Come sit' She said, waving her hand towards the vacant seats next to hers. She surveyed the bottles, till finally her eyes rested on 'goat'. She impatiently unscrewed the top and took hungry gulps, emptying the bottle almost as soon as she had started.<br/><br/>Whilst the others were tucking in, Clarissa took out her mini laptop and began typing away to her sister.
