Summary: Lily gets another dose of training




Apparently she'd been 'good'. The elf had brought her breakfast, laid out her clothes for the day, and she'd asked shyly if there was anything that she could have to read. He'd brought her a very old, very dusty book on basic defense, and although she'd read similar books through and through, she sat with it in her lap. It was better than nothing. She'd studied until midmorning when the elf had come back, saying that she was being permitted a walk outside, if she liked.

She liked.

Lily hadn't expected to go alone, but the elf hung behind her, so it was almost like being by herself. She walked the paths in the neglected garden, breaking dead heads off the flowers and poking them into the soil. Maybe they'd bloom when the weather warmed again. Maybe not. It gave her something mindless to do.

And the air was fresh and sweet. Lily didn't tire of the walking, or of the outside, and walked the paths over and over until the elf beckoned. "Lunch, Miss," he said, and she followed him back to her room. Maybe she'd get to eat somewhere else soon, but for now, this suited her. He fetched a tray while she washed her hands, and she ate with the tray on the top of the trunk where she could look out across the grounds.

She hadn't been finished for long when he came for her again. "Mistress says Miss is to come." He led. She followed. Bellatrix waited in the hall where they'd worked before, and Lily felt a rush of anticipation. She was going to learn more...

"Thank you for letting me go outside. It was lovely and cold."
