Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 9

By the time everyone got to know each other, it was rather late, so Adriane was shown to her new room. Walking in, her eyes widened a little as she looked around in awe.

Her new room had light cream-colored walls, kind of like the living room, and light grey carpeting. She had a couple of reflective dressers on either side of her bed. The dresser on the left of the bed had a lamp, two vases with flowers in them, and a picture frame that she immediately put a picture of her parents in.

The other dresser was more or less the same, only it had one vase. Her bed had a soft headboard that was the same color as the walls. The bed had green and white sheets on the pillows and hanging off the sides. She had a rather thick and heavy blanket on the end of the bed for when she went to bed. The bed had two pictures over both the right and left sides; they were green with darker green imprints of plants on them, kind of reminding her of Neville, causing her to smile softly at them.

She was honestly going to miss him and the twins for the next seven years; those three had helped her out with so much without even knowing about it. Even when they had known they were helping her, they didn't say anything or bring it up without her being ready beforehand.

Now that she thought about it, she was going to have to tell those three she was a girl now, wasn't she? Oh good lord, those three were going to be even more protective of her now! That isn't even counting what Sirius and Remus would act like if it turned out that they were on her side and not Dumbledore's.

If she ever wanted to date anyone, she would have to prove that she could take care of herself without them around, not to mention that she wanted to help save people when older, whether it be healing them or being out on the front lines fighting. She could think about that later; right now, she had to get everything in its place and then get dressed for bed.

She unpacked everything in her trunk, and grabbing some black and white striped pajamas, she went to the bathroom and froze. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, and Adriane was wondering how both her room and her bathroom were so beautiful.

The walls were a light blue; even the ceiling was that color. The floor was made up of white marble tiles. There were a few countertops with cabinets made out of some lime green wood, and the tops were made out of the same white marble as the floor. The counter had a deep white oval sink in it. There was a small blue dish plate that was used to hold the hand soap.

The shower was made up of the same white marble as everything else; it was one of those special showers that had a seat so you could sit down and take a bath when you had the door to the shower closed—she would so be taking advantage of that to take some hot soaks and relax in the future.

Anyway, she took a short shower and got a little embarrassed when realizing that she had no clue how to clean herself now that she was in a female's body, deciding that she would ask Garnett sometime and have that embarrassing conversation at a later date. She just cleaned up the best she could, reminding herself over and over again that it was her body and no one else's; no one else was there, so she shouldn't be embarrassed.

After getting out, she absentmindedly sent a small drying charm on herself before pausing. Did she just use wandless, wordless magic? She had known that she had the ability to do so thanks to the ability test she took, but she had thought she would have to train it? Well, she would still have to train it since she just tried to use a silent, wordless levitating charm on her new hairbrush, and it didn't work. So it must have been because she was distracted or something, because she hadn't been meaning to do so, in which case she was calling bullshit on it.

She shook her head with a sigh and started brushing her hair, making sure to get out any knots that were in it. She smiled in the mirror a little as she finished up, turning her hair a light blue with her happiness, causing her to huff softly.
