Chapter Twenty

POTTER MANOR

The Potter Manor was one the biggest houses that Anne had ever seen in her life, it was bigger than Grimmauld Place, but smaller than the Malfoy Manor. It had amazing gardens in front and vines on the walls as if there had been no people living there in years, it was beautiful and ethereal. The backyard was also amazing, they had miles of backyard, but only the first two miles were used – there was a Quidditch field and a small stream that separated those two miles from the rest of the miles they would rent to people. The house was completely covered with blood wards, protection against muggles and against ill intentions. Every single part of that place felt safe, much to Anne's surprise.

She had never felt so safe in a place she didn't know so fast. Perhaps she could blame it on the fact that the house was hers as well at that point and that all the people inside of that house knew her truth and supported her decision.

But the biggest surprise was when Euphemia took her to a bedroom.

"This is your bedroom," she said. "You can put your things away here."

"Oh, Merlin," mumbled Anne in surprise.

The Manor was clearly old, but everything in the room was new.

The big rug was in the very middle of the room. The bed had its headboard against the wall and the right side to the door, it was carefully covered in a cream-coloured sheets and a cream-coloured duvet with gold embroidery; the curtains around the bed were standing tall and were also cream-coloured, though there was no embroidery. At the feet of the bed, there was a chaise lounge chair in yellowish-cream. Both sides of the queen-sized bed there were small tables with unlit candles. Still, the most surprising part of the beautiful room was the window – it had a bay-window with white padded long seat in front of the door, across the room with a small circular table nearby and there a few lilies inside the small vase and a tea set.

On the wall across the bed, on the other side of the room, there were empty shelves for books above a writing table with a big, empty walk-in closet on the right, a small dressing table on the left and another door beside the closet.

"What is it?" Mia asked, worried. "You didn't like it?"

"Of course, I loved it!" Anne said. "Who else sleeps here?"

"Nobody, Anne, just you."

"All of this? Just for me?!" she asked, shocked.

She had always shared rooms. Either it be with Harry or with her dormmates, she had never had a room all by herself.

Euphemia watched for a moment, sadness appearing before she smiled.

"All for you, and just for you," Mia agreed.

Anne almost ran into the bedroom, looking around with a lot more of attention now that she understood all of those things were hers, not someone else's that had allowed her to sleep with them.

She peeked out of the window to see the gardens, she peeked into the closet and...

She froze.

The other door led to a whole different room. A medium sized bathroom with a bathtub right beside the window that was a whole foot above the bathtub, a toilet to the right of the door and a beautiful sink of white marble.

"This bathroom too?" she asked, looking over her shoulder.

Mia nodded.

"Did you like it?"
