When Lily opens her eyes, coughing dust, she is standing in an office. No, not simply an office. The office of one Albus-too-many-names-Dumbledore.
She mentally starts humming an earworm, in the hopes that it might distract a certain meddling headmaster, should he stumble into her head by 'accident'. She peers around and it seems he has not arrived yet. Good, she'll be able to scope out some of those devices of his and have a chat with Fawkes, perhaps, while she waits.
"And who might you be, young one?" a voice calls. She swivells around, before realising it must've been a portrait. She raises a brow at who can only be Phineas Nigellus Black. "Not someone to concern yourself, Headmaster Black. Certainly, there's no need to look quite so suspicious."
He grumbled to himself, and she thought she heard "-not seen the like of since Fig's little-" "Phineas!" another portrait interrupted, and the new portrait's exclamation startled Lily so much with how loud it was that she had her hands raised defensively in front of her face before shrieking and attempting to find something to put out the fire on her hands. "Holy sh-" It wasn't burning. Her hands, they were perfectly fine, save for the fact that gold flames licked up around the edges of the cuffs on her shirt.
"Another one, what did I tell yo-" "That is quite enough out of you, Phineas Nigellus!" Lily furrowed her brows and tried wishing the fire away, blinking in surprise when it worked. "Oh honestly darling, you'll be fine. Your first experience of Phoenix Fyre, I take it?" the second portrait asked, and Lily blinked around before locating the owner of the voice.
Before she could pinpoint who the unknown woman was however, she shrieked once more, this time in actual pain. Her head felt like it was on fire and being stabbed with needles. She closed her eyes to orange, rather than the degenerate black, because honestly, nothing was degenerate these days.
The last thing she heard was "-memory block? Oh dear. This does not at all bode well..."
