Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 42

Adriane woke up the next day with a smile on her face. She was free, didn't need to pretend to be 'Harry Potter' anymore, and could finally be herself. Sure she would still need to hide her powers if she didn't want someone trying to kidnap her to experiment on her or try to kill her, she had enough of that for a lifetime thank you very much. But she was willing to hide her powers if it meant that she could show the rest of herself.

She quickly jumped up out of her two-poster bed and started getting ready for the day. She grabbed a light blue blouse with ruffles on the sleeves, a pair of skinny jeans, and some black knee-high boots before rushing to the bathroom to change and get ready.

She brushed her hair while spelling her teeth clean to save time before getting dressed. She let her normal looks come back, her black hair was once again flowing down her back and her eyes sparkled emeralds. She smiled in the mirror after she was done getting ready before leaving her bathroom and bedroom.

She hummed to herself wondering what she should do now, she could send a letter to her cousin asking if they could meet up soon so she could meet him in person but he had a busy life so he wouldn't be able to get time off to come to meet her right away. She also really wanted to explore a bit of Gotham and see what the town she moved to was like.

Deciding that she would spend some time exploring she left the house before realizing that she would probably need to hire a butler or somebody to drive her around. She was still fourteen for a few more months and even if she was fifteen, Adriane was pretty sure you needed to be sixteen to get your driver's license in America.

Looks like she was walking into town, she would ask Bruce if he knew of any good people she could hire later when she actually met him.

She spent an hour just walking into Gotham, she hadn't wanted to call a cab because in this town you never know if the cab driver will try to rob you or not. After she got to Gotham she spent some time wandering around until she came across the Gotham Gardens and decided to go in. She walked in and gasped in awe at the sight in front of her.

The place seemed to be brimming with plant life of all kinds, flowers of all different kinds. Roses of all different colors, lilies, pansies, and tulips filled the flower beds. There were several bushes all around, including a few lavender bushes.

The trees swayed in the breeze and seemed to be welcoming Adriane into the garden, beckoning her to come closer. She took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air of the garden before she walked deeper into the garden. She walked until she came across an old gazebo-type building.

It looked to be a mix of a greenhouse and a gazebo but it looked overgrown. Vines were growing up on every side of the building and onto the roof. A few parts of the roof looked to have been broken and then repaired several times making Adriane worry for the plants inside. She might not be the best at taking care of plants of any kind, the title of best gardener and herbologist went to Neville, but she wasn't a slouch.

It was one of the few chores the Dursleys made her do that she actually enjoyed doing. Of course, she couldn't let them know so she learned from a young age how to act like she hated something.

Anyways that wasn't the point, the point was she wanted to check on the plants inside and make sure they were okay. From what little she knew of Gotham, not many people would care for the plants out of sight like the ones in this building would be.
