Chapter 4
Hermione : Oh, is it possible to be alone ?
Natalia : If you prefer.
Hermione : I really do.
Natalia : We'll be just behind the door.
They left. The young girl looked at the dress and touched it. Soft and it would
help her to blend in. People wouldn't look at her like a strange thing. She left
her shoes and undressed. She kept her bra and underwear. The dress fitted her
and flattered her body.
Hermione : You can come back.
Natalia : You look really lovely.
Hermione : For real ?
Natalia : Of course, you're a beautiful girl. No one ever told you that ?
Hermione : No.
Natalia : she smiled I have the honor then. Julie, will you braid her hair ?
Julie : Yes. You have to sit, please.
She did as told and waited patiently. She knew her hair wasn't easy to tame. The
servant added the hairband when she was done.
Natalia : she lifted a small mirror Look at yourself.
Hermione : I look...pretty.
Natalia : I told you so. Remember that beauty is a woman's best weapon.
Hermione : What about her intelligence ?
Natalia : It comes along. Men just don't know it she giggled
Hermione : I guess so.
Julie : What are these ?
Hermione : My shoes.
Natalia : I never saw such a model before.
Hermione : They're very comfortable she took the pair and slid her feet in
Natalia : Julie, I don't need you for the moment.
Julie : Very well she left
Natalia : I'm sure you want to know what a lady of company does.
Hermione : Yes.
The brunette explained everything. The tasks didn't seem thrilling in the
younger girl's mind but she remembered that she was in a time where women
didn't do much. It was better than a lot of other things.
Natalia : My husband is not here for now. He's fighting somewhere in the north.
Hermione : Oh you're married ?
Natalia : Yes. We have five children.
Hermione : But I didn't see them anywhere ?
Natalia : They're all with a childminder of course. From where are you from ?
Hermione : From a land where women take care of their kids themselves.
Natalia : How weird.
Hermione : Not that much, believe me.
Natalia : I didn't marry out of love and I don't think I love my husband but the sex is still good she winked
Hermione : red cheeks and uncomfortable I see.
A virgin, Natalia thought.
Hermione : The viscount of Trencavel told me I would also be Lucy's apprentice.
Natalia : That's right. William is always true to his words. You'll see her this afternoon. I'll ask someone to walk you to her house.
Hermione : Do you know...
Natalia : About magic ?
Hermione : Yes.
Natalia : I do.
Hermione : And it doesn't scare you ?
Natalia : A bit but I find it very thrilling.
Afternoon
Hermione : Where are we going ? she tripped on her long dress and groaned
She grabbed the middle and lifted it a little. Better. Both women were outside
the city walking in the grass.
Lucy : I need to collect herbs.
Hermione : I thought you were going to help me getting back in my time.
Lucy : How old are you ?
Hermione : Seventeen.
Lucy : thoughtfully So young and so powerful. I will help you but you have to understand I can't do that right now she pointed at the sky Stars are not aligned correctly just yet.
Hermione : And when will that happen ?
Lucy : In about two months.
