We entered the building and Professor Tennant followed as I scoped out a room. After I asked he told me there are thirty incoming students, three hundred and eighteen current students, and four hundred rooms in the dorm building.

I headed to the top floor then towards the back away from the stairs. Normally it would be the least wanted room so I hoped it was open. It might not seem smart to pick the farthest room from the stairs and exit but I would probably just leap off the balcony most of the time. I had judged from the outside that the room would have the best view of the whole valley.

I smiled as I approached the white door at the end and was pleased to see the rooms on either side were also vacant. The professor did not say a word as he followed me to pick a room but looked surprised and curious at my choice.

I tapped the door with my wand and it changed to a blue purple galaxy view with runes lining the frame in silver. Stepping inside I looked at the blank room identical to how all of the others had been made. There was one room, a bathroom, and the balcony. I turned to face the professor who just raised an eyebrow and motioned for me to continue, obviously curious as to what I would do.

Knowing he is the advanced blood magic professor I wanted to impress him. I asked him to enter the room completely and shut the door so I could throw up some basic wards. He did so without a word and stood beside me in the middle of the room. Swift laid down next to me.

I closed my eyes and focusing my magic activated my mage eyes to see what was already on the room. It held the basic protection wards around the whole building as expected. There was a permanence ward on the room to prevent changing its shape.

I started by twisting the permanence ward to double the size of the room without altering the rest of the building, and then fixed it like that. It was supposed to be impossible to alter or remove a permanence ward but I found it easy.

Next I added a variety of privacy, protection, and security wards around the whole room including the bathroom and balcony. I made sure to use my favorite lightning strike ward and electro-net ward for intruders. I keyed only myself to the wards but added professor Tennant as a temporary guest. Once he left the rooms he would not be allowed back in. I knew the magic alerted him to the change but I didn't look to see his reaction.

Next I went out to the balcony and tripled its size internally and fixed it in place. I added another privacy dome and twisted my wards to allow approved animals to enter and exit at this point. I changed the fencing around the balcony into a stone wall foot wide and reaching my waist in height. I added cushioning charms to the top so I or any animal visitors could sit comfortably.

Going back into the main room I checked the wards in the bathroom to make sure they matched. I doubled the size of the room and fixed it. Then I transformed the plain tiles into grey/silver marble and turned the walls silver to match. The small shower became a large one with a waterfall spray in addition to the regular kind. The sink changed to and elegant basin style and the toilet changed to match the new theme. The empty space from the room doubling was soon filled with a whirlpool bath.

I went back into the room and changed the walls to mimic a forest, the images were interactive and lifelike. I created a large bed in one corner of the room by the balcony doors. I added a desk and bookcase to one wall by the bathroom door. I added another book case to the wall next to the front door.

I turned to the last wall and pulled out my trunk making it normal size. I pulled out a shrunken entertainment center and placed it against the wall enlarging it. It was made of a dark wood and completely covered in runes that would allow electronics to work and would keep them charged. I set up my TV, dvd player, and stereo then placed my dvd collection in the attached side cabinet.

I placed my favorite couch facing the entertainment center. Then I moved my trunk to the foot of my bed. Finished for the moment I turned off my mage sight and turned to face the professor for a reaction.

He had a blank face and continued to study me for a moment before speaking.

"Impressive display of magic." He said, then walked over to inspect the runes on the entertainment center. "Who came up with these? I have not heard of any advances on muggle technology and magic mixing."

"I created it last week. I was bored and just messing around and accidentally came up with the runic array. Once I realized what I had created I adjusted it and applied it. I tested it of course before bringing it. The only problem is any wards interfere with cable or satellite so its limited to movies." I explained a bit embarrassed.

He studied me and attempted to enter my mind to see if I was lying. I kept him outside of my wards but showed him the memory before tossing him out. He looked impressed but made no comment.

He walked around for a moment then with a nod told me, "I shall leave you to finish settling in. The dining room is on the main floor on the left. Dinner is open from six to eight pm. Breakfast will be open from six to nine am in the morning. Don't forget to be back in the Great Hall by nine." Then he swept out the door and I felt the wards revoking his permission to enter.

Turning back I saw Swift had curled up on the bed and was napping. I began to unpack my supplies and some of my books. Then I added Pendragon, Perrell, and Emyrs wards after removing the lesser wards I had put up in front of the professor. I didn't trust anyone and wanted them to learn not to underestimate me. I wouldn't have been able to put up the wards in front of the professor but didn't want to make him suspicious by not putting any up. I made sure that from the outside my wards looked standard if a bit advanced.

Looking at the clock I saw it was now four and I had spent two hours on my room. I decided to watch a movie until dinner time and settled on the couch to watch The Italian Job.
