Lily had been running for two days through the forest not sure where to go. Not only she was traveling by herself but also defenseless without a wand. She never traveled by herself before; she was always with her maids, royal guards and family. At the thought of her family, Lily's heart sank in sadness, what happened to them, what if they were taken as prisoners. Suddenly she heard noises nearby of people talking. She walked towards the sound hoping that it was somebody she knew. What she found were two men, wearing uniforms she never saw in her life. One of them had black hair, black eyes and looked around her age. The other one had blonde hair, blue eyes and looked around her age too. Both men looked at her with sudden surprise. The blonde boy was the first one to talk.
"Who are you and what are you doing in this grounds?"
Lily was taken by his rude manners.
"I believe who I am and what I am doing in here is not of you business, Sir" said Lily quickly a little mad because of the way he was treating her.
"Is our business if you don't want to die, and by the way you are talking you obviously don't know who we are muggle!" said the boy. "No, I certainly don't know who you are, but by the way you are talking you are somebody is not worth knowing of" she said quickly as possible, not letting her anger take the best of her. "How dare you talk to me like that muggle! For your information, I am Lucius Malfoy, royal guard of the Riddle family and you are nothing more than a filthy muggle" at this the other boy interfered.
"Lucius let me remind you that you are not in Riddle territories, you cannot talk to muggles like that" this surprised her, if she was not in Riddle territory where was she. But the boy cut her thoughts, bowing in front of her.
"I am sorry for Lucius behavior, I am Sirius Black, royal guard and friend of the Potter family, if we asked you this questions it was because you are on Potter royal grounds, peasants are not allowed to walk freely through the forest." Suddenly she felt fear in her heart, The Potters were always searching for a reason to take Flos away from the Evans, if they found about the attack, the Royal Committee would take the kingdom and gave it to the best family. She had to lie if possible, then maybe ask help to Mr. Malfoy, he was from Ates, he would understand. "I am sorry, my dear sir, I am deeply sorry, I didn't know where I was and who were you" "That's better, muggle." "I am sorry but I must tell you I am not a muggle, I am a witch and I'll appreciate if you stopped talking about muggles as if they were something not worth to talk about" This took Mr. Malfoy by surprise, but he quickly recovered his attitude. "I talk how I desire to and yes indeed for me muggles are really not worthy and by the way you talk I would dare to say you are nothing more than a filthy little mudblood" Before she could even react, Mr. Black took his wand and pointed it to Mr. Malfoy. "I think I told you not to talk like that, Malfoy," said the Mr. Black with a menacing look. "Come on, Black I was only having a little fun" but this only seemed to provocate Mr. Black. "Your carriage should be here already, I think is time for you to leave, Malfoy, before I do something you would regret". Mr. Malfoy laughed and said, "You can't harm me, not while Prince Tom is on the throne, and you know it. I was leaving anyway, Farewell" At this Mr. Malfoy turned around and left. Then she remembered what she was planning on doing but Mr. Malfoy was far away now and not willing to help her.
She felt as if someone was watching her, she turned and saw Mr. Black staring at her. "May I ask why are you looking at me like that?" said Lily. "You don't look like the ordinary Luxus peasant girl, you look different." Lily trying to find an excuse said the first that came to her mind. "I am... from Flos, yes that's it. Because I am from Flos." "Even if you are a Flos peasant you look different, you barely look like you worked in your whole life, is like you were royalty or something like that" "I was Princess Lily's personal maid, Hilda Indil, she barely made me do any hard work" "What happened? Why did you leave?" "I decided to quit and travel a little more East" lied Lily. "You look weary, let's go to the castle, I am sure we can find a room for you there" This made Lily panic, what if the guards or worst the royal family recognized her. "Not thank you, my lord, I'll find a place where to stay in town" "Nonsense, the town is two hours away from here, and it looks like you haven't rest in weeks". Lily started to make a second excuse "But..." Mr. Black was faster, "I won't accept a no for an answer, Ms. Indil". Lily thought maybe she could find someone in the castle that could help her, all she had to do was avoid the royal family and talk to the guards. "That only leaves me one choice, I accept, thank you" "That's great, this way, please my lady" He said while offering her his arm, she took it and said "Thank you, my lord" and both of them began walking in direction of the castle.
"Who are you and what are you doing in this grounds?"
