Chapter 12
Opening the door, cassandra was frozen by what awaited her there, slowly stepping over the threshold, cassandra entered, letting the door slowly close behind her, taking steps forward, she felt unsuppressed emotions bubbling inside her.
The room she is in now is exactly the same as her room she had in the palace, she slowly looked around the room she slowly approached the bed and gently passed her hand over it feeling the soft touch of the silk, the bed covers and pillows were a soft purple color, the bed curtains were the same color then she glanced at the other things in the room the bedside table that was next to the bed was made of black wood that can only be found in the troll kingdom and they were also quite famous for their wood products, the large wardrobe was at the other end of the room opposite the bed and to the right from the bed there was a table with a mirror and to the left of the bed was a writing table behind which there was a window with a beautiful view of the garden and a small pond where you could see a pair of swans swimming, to the left of the table there was a large glass door leading to the balcony. As Cassanda looked around the room, which evoked all the sweet, sweet memories of home, she didn't even feel tears rolling down her cheeks for a while.
A knock on the door snapped her out of her painful feelings, quickly wiping her tears, Cassandra went to open the door and behind it was an elderly man who smiled at her when she opened the door.
"Hello, my name is Dobby Lightfoot and I am here to show you around the manor on the recommendation of Madam Hermione" the man said with a bow.
"My name is Princess Cassandra Regina Potter-Black nice to meet you" said cassandra smiling at the man.
"I am honored to meet you and show you this place, princess, and I express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your parents, they were and always will be honorable people in the heart of every person," said the man, he looked down at the ground and for a moment there was silence, Cassandra's heart was warmed by each the person's nice and sweet words about her parents and it encouraged her to continue and not give up, and she knows when one day the day will come when she will have to fight and she will fight for herself, for her parents and for her people for a better future.
A man interrupted her thoughts by telling her to follow him, the first thing he did for Cassandra was the library, which was as big as the one in the palace, she immediately understood that here she would spend a lot of her free time to help her studies and to find useful information for herself, the next thing she showed there was a painting room nearby, which was the main bedroom where Hermione lived and 3 more sleeping rooms, then they went to the first floor where they showed her a large indoor garden, which the man told her that the lady herself had both chosen and planted all the plants and cassandra saw that it was invested here a lot of work because the garden was really charming and she could even hear the songs of the birds and see the butterfly flying here undisturbed in the center of the garden there was an oval table with a couple of chairs by it.
Then they passed both the great hall where cassandra arrived and the orb room then they passed 3 other rooms where one of them was hermione's main room where during the day she spends most of her day among documents, the other was the scroll room where only hermione could enter and the third was the sun room, upon entering the room was light in soft blue colors, after that they continued their tour outside where the man showed her where the guards, servants and other people who take care of this manor live and when everything was shown they went to the dining room.
Arriving there they were already met by Hermione sitting at the table and waiting to see both of them she invited Cassandra to join her with a smile on her face and Cassandra did it with the greatest joy because she was hungry from all the walking she sat down to the right of Hermione and Dobby bowed wished him a good appetite and left away
"I really hope that everything here satisfies you," said Hermione.
"You can't worry this place is lovely and I admire you for doing all this alone but I just have one question" said cassandra cutting off a small piece of beef steak and putting it in her mouth and enjoying it.
"It makes me happy that you feel good here and thank you for your compliment it means a lot to me" Hermione said taking a sip of wine and continued "And what would be your question".
"I just wanted to know how you managed to make the room you showed me exactly the same as my room in the castle?" Cassandra asked.
"It's a simple question to answer, this whole manor is made of magic, and the moment you touch the handle, the magic of the manor created that room according to your wishes and you can see when you really miss your home," saying this, Hermione gave the girl a small smile.
"Thank you , it means a lot to me" said cassandra.
After lunch cassandra went to her room to rest and hermione went about her usual business of the day.
~meanwhile~
Draco settled in the room Cassandra had given him and when he was done he heard a knock on the door as he left and opening it there was a maid who invited him to follow her to the dining room for lunch nodding his head he followed.
Entering the dining room, he was greeted by sirius and pandora who were sitting at the table, sirius didn't even look at him, but pandora gently smiled in his direction and with a wave of her hand invited him to join her, sitting next to her, only then did he notice that the table was set for only three people.
"I'm very sorry, but cassandra won't be joining us" he asked uncertainly not wanting to say anything unnecessary and not to anger Sirius even though they were both family members but this was the first meeting after a long time and you could see that the man didn't really like Draco now and Draco understood that certainly not much about him, but about his father.
"she won't be available for a while don't worry she's fine and she's in a good place" answered pandora but sirius just looked at him and continued eating and no one said a word and then everyone went about their business and draco asked if someone could show him where he could practice with his sword.
