Chapter 2. The Snakes Den
Outside her room there was a long corridor with many, many doors on both sides. Hermione decided that she had plenty of time to search those rooms later, right now she wanted to explore the rest of the manor. At the end of the corridor there was a large balcony of sorts over looking what she guessed was the main hall. On the other side of the balcony was a large staircase leading to the hall, and on the other side of the stairs was another balcony followed by another long door filled corridor.
The staircase was made of pearly white marble with dark cherry railing. She went down the staircase and looked around the main hall. There were four doors, one lead into a huge library. The library had large bookcases filled with books lining every wall except one. At that wall was a small sitting area; it was decorated much like the room that she woke up in.
She walked into the large library and ran her hand along the spines of the books, "I am definetly coming back in here."
The next-door lead into what Hermione guessed was Lucius' office. The room wasn't decorated in Slytherin colors like the other rooms, but in more neutral colors. The room was very relaxing and she could see how someone could spend all day in a room like that. The third door was locked and she guessed that it lead to a place that she didn't want to go, like the dungeons. The last door lead outside, the lawn was impeccably managed and the flower gardens were in perfect order, not a weed in sight.
"Oh, I hate it when flower's are in perfect order, after all nature isn't perfect." Hermione thought quietly to her self.
There was a stone path leading down to what looked like the beach, and another path leading into a dark looking forest. She decided that she would spend the time until dinner down at the beach. She was sitting on the beach just watching the waves when she heard a pop next to her. She looked to her right and saw a house elf. It was dressed in a very worn pillowcase.
"Master said to fetch you for lunch miss so come along now." The house elf started walking back toward the manor.
"Come to think of it, I am quite hungry, I wonder what I get to eat."
The elf instead of taking her to the dining room as she had expected lead her to a veranda overlooking the beach. When she sat down a plate appeared in front of her loaded with all kinds of good food. There was roasted chicken, greens, yellow rice, and a glass of red wine. It looked delicious, and she ate every bite of it. After dinner she was tired so she decided to go to sleep. She walked up to her room and opened the armoire, this time it was filled with all kinds of nightclothes. She pick out a flowing pink nightgown much like the one she had on before.
Then she climbed into the bed snuggled up and fell asleep. The next morning she woke up with the sun shining in her eyes. As soon as she changed the same house elf appeared and told her that breakfast was served. Breakfast was wonderful everything was cooked to perfection. Today she decided to spend in the library, it was perfect weather for the library as there was a light drizzle. She walked to the library and looked though the shelves.
"Oh, this one looks interesting," The book was called, How To Identify Your Darker Side.
She picked up the book, went over to the sitting area and started reading the book. She must have been reading for a few hours when she felt something twirling her hair. She looked up and was once again caught in his eyes. Lucius Malfoy was home.
