Chapter Four
The Crowning
Adrienne Potter, James' mum, was tidying up a very large room. Albus Dumbledore had owled her and asked her if she could take care of a girl about her son's age and that if she agreed, more information would follow. Of course she agreed, she'd never had a daughter. Only two mischievous sons, so she had a great time getting this room done.
She had picked a large room next to James'. Mrs. Potter was having a wonderful time decorating, considering that after the `more information to follow' came, she realized she had to get all sorts of new things because Lily didn't have anything anymore. Sure, Dumbledore did say that he would pay for her things and she would have her school things, a few trinkets, and clothing, but she still needed a room where she could feel safe and warm.
The first thing Adrienne did was get new carpeting for what was once the music room. She chose a soft, fluffy pastel blue. Next was the wall paper, the bottom half of the wall was a deep, dark blue, then there was a border of lilies surrounded by a light shimmering gold, then the top of the wall was pure white. It was rather pretty, if I do say so myself. Next she had to redo the bathroom. Did I mention there was a bathroom attached to this new bedroom? Well, there is. The bathroom became a lovely shade of light pink, with white walls with the top bordered in little pink roses, a pink toilet, light pink carpet, a pink shower curtain, a pink bathtub, and little pink hand towels and body towels on a wooden rack.
This, might I say much the approval of Mrs. Potter, was done in only a day, with the help of magic of course. Then she started putting in furniture she had bought, which she later told Dumbledore was no problem because she would pay for it. She bought Lily a white day bed with light blue sheets and a mix of white and blue pillows. On top lay a big, soft, comfy blanket with flowers in different shades of blue splattered randomly around it. Next to the day bed was a matching white, small table. On it was an alarm clock and a light blue lamp. (Can you tell there is a theme to the room so far?)
In the far corner was a walk-in closet and all Mrs. Potter had to do was add shelves for Lily's shoes. The left corner held an empty bookcase and next to that was a full-length mirror. Next to the walk-in closet was an empty area so Adrienne put a matching desk and chair.
The bathroom remained quite simple. Mrs. Potter just added a small spice rack above the hand rack to put shampoo, lotion, and conditioner in. She also put a cup by the sink for her toothbrush.
All in all, the room was quite breathtaking, and Mrs. Potter was relieved to know that James wouldn't be home until after Lily was here for 2 days. He was visiting his cousins in Australia. Even with all the stuff the Mrs. Potter had bought for Lily and the room, there was still a lot of space in the room, but the room had a sweet simplicity to it, so she left it like that. This took 2 days on its own to do, to put all of this stuff in this room, even with help from the house elves.
By the time of the fourth day, Mrs. Potter was just checking everything over, one of the house elves came scurrying up to her and announced the presence of Professor Dumbledore and Princess Lily. Adrienne smiled.
She walked down stairs and caught a glimpse of the deep crimson hair moving where a house elf directed them. Walking steadily, she arrived at the living room. Might I just add here that this was a very large house, as Dumbledore said earlier, but still smaller than Lily's other home, which was more of a castle. This was just a mansion. "Hello Professor. Hello Lily." Adrienne said sweetly with a smile.
Lily looked up at her with sad eyes. Recently, she only had sad eyes, but some of the hurt was gone, now there was just the pain of losing someone you love. Adrienne understood that look in someone eyes. She herself had lost her husband a few years back when James was only 8 and William was only 2. "Hi," Lily said in a small, but polite voice. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Potter," she said then, and dropped to a small curtsy. Adrienne wasn't use to that and was shocked for a few seconds. Dumbledore smiled and his eyes twinkled.
"Hello Mrs. Potter," Dumbledore said, "Thank you for taking care of Lily until the start of school."
"Lily, why don't you let me talk to the Professor for a while, I'll have a house elf show you your room." At that a small house elf led Lily up a flight of stairs and into what would now be her room for the next few months. When Lily got to the room she gasped. There were a lot of reasons why she gasped, so let me start at the beginning.
The first reason she gasped was because the room was pretty big, and was easily bigger than the shack she was living in for the last 4 days. She looked from the soft, blue carpet, to the large walk-closet where house elves were hanging up her clothes and putting her things away. Her few books on the bookcase, which looked ridiculously, empty, the closet was immediately filled, but the closet was so big it fit all the clothing that Dumbledore had bought her and left her a little room. Looking around the room, she noticed the sweet smell of roses coming from a potpourri dish in the pink bathroom.
The second reason was all the furniture she had. The big bed, the desk which now had some pens and pencils in a cup on it and some paper and sketch pads inside. On the desk was a note from Dumbledore saying he had gotten her a few extra things.
Finally all of the house elves left, that is, all but one. One was left shaking in the closet. Lily saw the back of her and walked over. As soon as she got there, the tiny house elf jumped around and grabbed Lily's knees and wouldn't let go. The house elf was crying. Lily was shocked until she saw who the house elf was. It was Minder! (Remember Minder? If not, then go back and re-read this story). "Minder!" Lily said happily. She knew everyone else was gone, except for Petunia because Dumbledore had made sure she was ok, even if Lily couldn't see her anymore, but Lily still had someone.
"It be so good to see miss, it does. Thought you was gone for good miss, welcome back miss. Mrs. Potter be a nice person. She good and kind to mes and de other house elves too." Minder said, finally letting go of Lily's knees and looking at her.
"Does she have any kids?" Lily asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Potter has two boys, she does. A James and a William and a Sirius." Minder said.
"You said two boys." Lily reprimanded.
"He's not her, doesn't live here. Just comes. A lot, he plays tricks. Turned my own hair blue, he did." Minder replied, eye drying rapidly and was smiling brilliantly. Lily smiled, though not as big. She remembered Sirius trying to buy that prank book and she doubted to many people were called Sirius, so she knew it had to be the same person.
Lily heard the down stairs door close and Mrs. Potter yelling good-bye to Dumbledore. It had been such a long day. A tiring week and what seemed like a life of pain. She lay down on top of the big winter blanket and closed her eyes and instantly fell asleep.
---------- * * * Two Days Later * * * ----------
Lily's eyelids fluttered opened and stared at 6 people crowding around her. Mrs. Potter, James, who she assumed was William, Dumbledore, Allison, and Minder. "Is something wrong?" she asked mumbling.
They all stared at her, shocked. "Lily, are you ok?" Dumbledore asked.
"I feel fine. Better than yesterday." She answered a little enthusiastically.
"You were asleep yesterday!" Dumbledore answered, then he smiled.
"How long was I asleep," Lily asked concerned.
"Two days," Mrs. Potter broke in.
"TWO DAYS!" Lily screamed. "Why didn't anyone wake me up!" she demanded.
Everyone stared at her. Allison frowned, Dumbledore laughed, Minder look relieved, and all three Potter's smiled. "Never mind that," Dumbledore said. "We need to get you ready."
"Ready for what," Lily asked looking at him cross-eyed.
"The crowning, it's a day earlier because it takes place outside and tomorrows going to rain." He answered.
"Oh," Lily said. "Then I guess you better leave while I get dressed."
Everyone nodded and started leaving. After even Dumbledore had left, James crept back into Lily's room, where Lily was lying down with her eyes closed again. He shook her softly so she wouldn't fall asleep again, then whispered, "I knew I recognized you from somewhere," then he left before Lily could respond.
Lily frowned; today she would wear her mother's crown. She had never worn it before in her entire life. Not even to play dress up in. Lily walked into the closet and picked up the cream swirled gown, matching shoes, and tiara. Putting it on her bed, Lily stripped off her nightgown; she assumed Mrs. Potter had changed her that first day, and hopped into the shower, which was very warm and it felt good to get the grim off of her skin and out of her hair.
Wrapping a towel around herself, she used a blow dryer to dry all of her thick mass of crimson curls. Instead of it hanging limp as it did before, it now stood firm and full of life. Then she dried herself. She walked back into her room and started getting dressed. Finally getting the dress on and shoes and tights, she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked older and sadder, maybe a little wiser then before. Her hair hung around her head in disarray.
Walking back to her bathroom, she looked at her hair and started to comb and brush in. Then grabbing it all she put it in a high ponytail, twisted it, and secured it in a tight and formal bun with no loose hairs. She walked over to her bed and placed the tiara delicately on top of her head. At the ceremony, someone, who usually would have been the father, would replace the tiara with the gold crown.
Lily didn't know who was going to crown her, but instead of worrying, she went over to look at herself in the mirror. She looked much older than the age of 11, (O yea, in the shack she had her birthday, that will be described next chapter or the end of this one if I get really bored.)
She walked out of her room, a quietly descended the stairs. At the bottom Dumbledore stood, and looked at the beautiful little girl. She truly looked like a fairy tale princess, even if she didn't feel like one. "You look like your mother!" he exclaimed.
Lily's lips twitched into an awkward smile.
"We need to go!" Dumbledore said.
"What about the Potters" Lily asked.
"They'll meet us there."
"Ok," Lily answered
---------- * * * The Crowning (the thing the Chapter's named after) * * * ----------
Lily quietly stepped up three short steps to a small wooden chair they were using in place of the throne. It seemed like all of Magid was there. Lily looked out at them and smiled quietly, a small short smile as she had been doing since her mother had been murdered, but none the less, it was a smile.
Lily couldn't see James, Mrs. Potter, or even William who she had just seen and never actually spoken to. She didn't see Sirius either. She looked at the first row of people and saw a boy that looked a little older than her. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and smiled up at Lily when he saw she was looking at him. She bowed her head down politely while she saw his mother quickly scold him for talking to the soon to be queen. Lily was close enough to hear the conversation, and thought it was remarkably funny.
It was then that a hush drew over the crowd as Dumbledore carefully took the small tiara from Lily's head and places a crown that was gold with the family emblem, a dragon, on the front with two ruby eyes. Then he began talking. "It is a great honor to present to you the Queen of Magid, even though under these hard circumstances she has been through, with the death of her mother, your Queen, and her father, your fellow citizen. It was bestowed upon me to present to you, at the young age of 11, Lily Craig Evans, Queen of Magid."
At these words everyone there clapped and cheered loudly and it was a great shock to them to see the new Queen, loudly sobbing and boy about her age, run up and hold her. Lily didn't notice, but she was crying into his robes. The clapping and cheering suddenly died down as more and more people noticed Lily crying.
As Lily looked at the people of Magid, and then at the person she had been crying into, she shouted, "I'm sorry, I can't do this. I'm a disgrace as a Princess and would be an awful Queen." At these words Lily ran and surprisingly, no one stopped her. She was very fast, even in that dress, and people were to shocked to hear those words.
The person on the platform where Lily had been just stared in the direction that Lily had ran as another boy came up and whispered, "It's ok James, we'll find her." But James wasn't so sure.
