Key to You
Chapter One
Lynne Potter smiled as she inspected the near perfect wood. She was sitting at the bar in The Leaky Cauldron, waiting for breakfast. The thirteen year old witch jumped when she heard a voice.
"What do you have there, Lynne?" She looked over to see the inn keeper, Tom.
"A muggle music box. I found in the back of that antique shop by Olivanders. I splurged a little but it was worth it."
"What does it do?" He asked as he set her breakfast down in front of her. She smiled and wound the small silver handle sticking out and suddenly a beautiful melody was heard.
"When you turn this handle, it starts to play music. I've wanted one since I first saw a picture of it in a book back in primary school and I finally have one. And it's in good condition." She sighed happily. "I think this one is from 1912 but the owner of the place said it was taken care of like it was a child so it only had to be cleaned up slightly."
"Well that's good. Anyway, here's your breakfast." Lynne dug in her pocket to get his money but he held up his hand. "On the house. You taught me something new and I think you should keep it after making such a buy."
"Thank you." Lynne said with a smile and he nodded before going to his next patron.
Lynne went to the antique shop again later that day and bought some wood cleaner so she could keep it in tact, along with a small bottle of oil for the winder. Lawrence, as he liked to be called, even threw in a thick necklace with a gold key attached he had seen her eyeing as she was planning on taking such good care for the music box. Lynne thanked him profoundly before leaving the shop. The next evening, Lynne was in her room at the inn, gently cleaning the wood of the box as the melody played. She hummed along as she cleaned and didn't hear voices until her name.
"Lynne." She looked up to see her two best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, standing in the open door. She grinned. "Tom was right, we just needed to follow the music."
"What is that?" Ron asked before Hermione gasped.
"Is that a music box?" Lynne nodded proudly as she put the rag that had the wood cleaner down. "Where did you get it?"
"At that antique shop by Olivanders. It was just collecting dust and I've always wanted one." She suddenly slapped Ron's hand which was reaching for it. "No touching. It needs to be handled delicately and I only trust myself for that."
She wound the handle again as the song had finished and she grinned. "It's beautiful. Where did you get that necklace?" Hermione pointed at what Lynne was wearing.
"Lawrence, the store owner, said I could have it when I went to buy some wood cleaner and oil. It looked wonderful."
"Well, mum says dinner is in a few minutes so lets get down there." Lynne nodded and brought the music box with her. She sat down quickly and opened the top of the box, inspecting the machine inside.
"Lynne, dear, it is good to see you." Lynne didn't answer. "Lynne."
She looked up. "Oh, sorry. Just a little distracted."
"It's fine." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile as Lynne went back to the strange box in her hands. As the dishes filled, Tom came over.
"Don't take it personally, Molly. Ever since she got that thing, Lynne has been distracted." He smiled before looking to Lynne. "Lawrence wanted me to give you this."
He handed her a tiny metal box and she gasped.
"I can't believe it!" She whispered as she inspected it. "I didn't have enough money for this and the music box yet now I'm holding it!"
"What exactly is it?" Ginny asked, for once not blushing while speaking to Lynne.
"Let me show you." She took out a pair of tweezers and a tiny screw driver before fiddling with the machine inside. A similar looking box popped out and she set it aside before putting the other in. She wound the handle again but instead of a wordless melody, a song started.
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody, when the night's so long
'Cause there is no guarantee, that this life is easy
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no, light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need, every breath that I breathe
Don't you know, you're beautiful
Lynne was grinning as the song stopped and she pocketed the other small box.
"Tell Lawrence thank you for me." She said with a smile to Tom who nodded and left.
"That's amazing Lynne, how much was it?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Not telling, sorry Mr. Weasley. Lets just say it cost enough that it had to be my last buy."
"Where did you get that beautiful necklace, dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked and Lynne swallowed some mashed potatoes before answering.
"When I went to get the wood cleaner and oil, Lawrence gave it to me. He said it's a real key that opens the lock of a small box. When opened, it reveals who you were meant to be with." She shrugged. "He looked serious but it sounded like a joke."
Lynne had no idea how serious he had been.
