The cottage of Dreams

"Electra it's not about me being safe or not! It's about doing something for our world! It's about something bigger."

July 1st, 1976

As soon as Electra set foot on the land she found herself captivated by the smell of the wild flowers and fruits. She turned to look around. Everything was colourful. A fence made from bushes was keeping her from entering her brother's house's garden. She could see the climbing rosebushes on the walls of the house and the growing ivy covering almost the whole front of the house and some of the roof. The variety of smells travelled her for a moment to a fairyland, like the ones they were described in Muggles' fairytales.

"El! You're here!" Perseus exclaimed as soon as he saw his sister and leaving Leia in the threshold he ran to hug his sister and welcome her to his house. His house... How long had he waited for this moment to come. To have a house that he could call home. A home where he could start a family with the girl he loved. A home where everyone would be welcome despite him being pureblood or Muggleborn.

"Let me present to you: The cottage of Dreams"

"Don't look at me! He insisted on naming it like that." Leia said as she walked up to the two siblings and smiled at the girl who was lost inside her brother's hug.

"Come! Come! I'll have to show you our garden. And. And then our backyard! And then of course the interior! And your room!" Pers said with a huge smile across his face and every time he was adding something he was turning to face his little sister who was grinning at how happy her brother was.

"Are you sure I got the mature one of the family?" Leia whispered to the girl's ear as they were following him and both of them started giggling making him turn around and look at them questioningly but eventually he smiled at the sight of the two girls who loved the most having fun together.

"Orph is the mature one. But he definitely comes second. I'm unbearable..." Electra finally replied rolling her eyes at the thought of her actions. She was flying inside the house, she had fallen from the astronomy tower, she had tangled up the squid's legs. She definitely wasn't the easiest person to handle.

"Not to us! Leia given the choice would have picked you to live with for the rest of her life." Pers said and Leia nodded in agreement making Electra laugh even more than before. "So what do you think of our garden?"

Electra wandered her glance around the garden. So many colours, so many shades, so many smells. The light buzz of the bees made feel like he was indeed living a dream. She could see why had her brother chosen that name. There were so many flowers planted all over. From the tiniest one as a lily to the most attractive as a peony. "Wow, Pers this is-"

"Don't! Don't say anything! You haven't seen the backyard yet!" He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her behind the small house where there was a huge green but empty area. "Here we're going to have a Quidditch field! And there." He said pointing at the left "We'll have the Magical Creatures' shelter! Come you can meet my first pet!"

Electra looked at him with terror in her eyes. She knew that he had a slightly unhealthy obsession with magical creatures and creatures in general. He failed at transfiguration because he didn't want to transform the poor creatures. Something Electra had always found fascinating. Eventually after being reassured from Leia that the creature was harmless she followed her brother. And she came across a gigantic creature, a hippogryph.

"Wow... Pers you. You've made your dreams come true! I'm so happy for you!" He always wanted a house, a family where no one should judge him. He always loved animals and wanted to live near with them. Hippogryphs were his big love. From a very young age he used to draw them. None of his drawings though had left after their parents realisation that he wasn't going to work for the ministry like his father. He wanted to pursue a career in study of magical Creatures. "That's everything you've ever wanted!" She smiled widely at her brother whose eyes were sparkling with joy.
