Daily Drabble Competition:a tiara (NOT the Ravenclaw diadem)
The little girl smiled as she poured tea into the five teacups on the table as carefully as possible. According to Aunt Narcissa, it was important for girls to know how to pour tea and entertain guests.
"Tubby, would you like one sugar or two?" she asked the teddy bear on her right.
She waited a moment for the bear's request before she said, "Fine, you can get four, but I'm watching you." She added the correct number of sugar cubes and placed the teacup and finger sandwich before the toy.
"Here's yours, Princess Raincorn, just like you like: no sugar and extra cream," she said, placing another teacup before the unicorn toy with the rainbow mane.
She turned back around to see a hand sneaking towards the plate of sandwiches. "Daddy!" she cried, swatting his hand. "Wait your turn like everyone else."
Her father scowled, retracting his hand to his chest. The little girl frowned, trotting around the small table towards her father's side. "And you have to wear your tiara and boa at all times," she said, picking up the small metal crown on the table and replacing it on his head. "We must look our best."
"Yes, Cordelia," he said, tugging at the end of his bright purple boa. He was going to kill Narcissa when he saw her again.
