Reviving a wilted garden - Lady Lesso x reader

Chapter 3- through windows

You walked briskly up the staircase to the teacher dorms, making sure to stay right behind Dovey who was speeding away. The staircase was spiralled and so even more difficult to climb, it's walls hung pictures of past professors and deans. You noticed as they became modern, the more plastic each princess or prince became, what was once images of heroines and scholars with natural gleaming appearances manifested from their kindness; slowly turned into fake plastic smiles, bright white unnatural grins and 3 inch waists.

You thought it was bad in your day but my my, it had gotten much worse. poor girls you thought to yourself.

You eventually reached another floor, out of breath you both made your way down to the very end of the corridor.

"This" panted Dovey pointing to a gilded white door on the right "is your dorm"

She handed you a gleaming silver key, it felt cold and heavy in your hand.

"I believe all your luggage is already inside, we had a different wolf collect it after you were whisked away, I'll let you settle in. Feel free to make the place yours and have a wonder of the school for good and I'll see you tomorrow in the teachers common room next to the hall at 9am sharp but it's always best to be 5 minutes early"  The princess said hastily in one breath than ran away, only giving you time to 'mhm' and nod slowly like an overwhelmed school child.

'Well' you said to yourself 'what a day... or night.' you unlocked the door and heaved your tired body over the threshold.

The room was just what you needed, it was square and the walls were a pastel green which was your favourite colour, on them was painted murals of strong lush trees and peaceful birds. In the bottom right corner there were two large dark oak wardrobes which when you opened had all of your clothes neatly folded and hung in them.

In the middle of the left wall was a dark oak 4 poster bed which sheets were a rich forest colour. You noticed the floor was also dark oak and so was the pretty dresser that housed an ornate mirror and a cushioned chair that sat quietly across from your bed. This room matched your taste almost exactly which was strange as the rest of the castle looked nothing like it however you wished the lighting was a bit more, ambient.

As soon as you thought this the window in front of you grew a set of heavy intricate velvet and lace curtains and two large golden candelabras sprouted from the sage walls either side with lit candles whose flames flickered and cast a homely warm glow in the room.

The room was so perfect for you because it changed to fit your mind! Of course.

You smiled and breathed in the air which had a smell of old books, reminding you of the library you already missed in Artemis' palace. You couldn't wait to explore the library here, it was exquisite.

You walked over to the window which was round and reminded you of a hobbit hole. You peeked your head through the curtains to see what view you had.

When you peeked out you could see the bridge below you that connected the two schools, your eyes traced the school for evil. Slowly looking up it towards its spikes until your eyes stopped directly in front of you.

Opposite, in the other school you saw them again, the person from the bridge, although from here you thought them to be a her. She stood in a large square window that let you see into a dark dimly lit room, in the middle of the window she stood staring right back at you. One hand on her hip and the other holding a glass of whiskey. You could just about see that she had a strange inquisitive look on her face.

'Oh fuck am I being a creep?' You said to yourself and drew your head back behind the curtains, closing them all the way before quickly going to sit on your soft bed.

There you just sat, wondering who the strange woman in the window was and why she seemed to stare so into your window this late at night.

Whatever, you thought. Doesn't matter right now.
