Amelia woke up to the familiar sound of birds chirping outside her window. She stretched her arms, feeling the softness of the sheets and the warmth of the morning sun on her face. As she rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she remembered the events of the summer. The Galdr warding ceremony, the rune stave, the pain, the blood offering, and the unexpected change in her eye color.

She got out of bed and walked towards the large mirror in her room. As she examined her reflection, she saw that the rune staves on her forearms were still visible, even though the burns had healed into faint white scars. Her left eye, however, was still green, a stark contrast to her right brown eye.

Amelia's room is a cozy sanctuary within the grand mansion, decorated with rich tapestries and soft candlelight. A large four-poster bed draped with deep green velvet curtains sits in the center of the room, flanked by towering bookshelves filled with volumes on ancient runes and magic. Piles of worn books and scraps of parchment litter the floor, evidence of Amelia's late-night studies. A writing desk with quills, ink, and parchment sits next to a comfortable armchair in the corner, inviting her to curl up and lose herself in her studies. Despite the clutter, there is a sense of order and purpose to the chaos in her room, a reflection of Amelia's focused determination to unlock the secrets of her family's magic.

As Amelia made her way down to the dining hall for breakfast, her petite form moved gracefully through the empty halls of the mansion. Her dark hair fell in soft waves down her back, contrasting sharply against her pale skin.

Nestled in the heart of a dense forest in Sweden, The Hedström mansion appears dilapidated and abandoned to any muggle who might stumble upon it. But to those in the wizarding world who know the truth, the mansion is a true marvel. The grand entrance features a set of enormous double doors made of mahogany wood, adorned with intricate gold filigrees that glint in the sunlight. As you step inside, the musty scent of old books and ancient magic fills the air. The walls are lined with shelves upon shelves of dusty tomes and ancient artifacts, and a grand staircase made of marble curves up to the upper levels. Despite the enchanted exterior, the interior of the mansion is a true reflection of Amelia's family's wealth and status. Every corner of the mansion exudes elegance and opulence, a testament to the family's long-standing tradition of wizarding excellence.

The Hedström family's passion for the magical arts is reflected in every room of the mansion. In the dining room, the silverware and dishes are enchanted to refill themselves, and the paintings on the walls come to life to tell stories of the family's ancestors. The bedrooms are spacious and luxurious, with four-poster beds draped in the finest silks and velvets, and windows that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding forest.

Despite the grandeur of the mansion, there is a sense of warmth and homeliness that makes you feel like you're part of the family. The house-elves are always on hand to provide any assistance. The Hedströms may be one of the oldest and most prominent wizarding families, but they remain grounded and kind-hearted, never letting their wealth and status get in the way of their kindness and generosity.

The Hedström mansion is not just a house, it's a legacy, a testament to the family's dedication to the magical world and their commitment to upholding its values. It's a place where magic and history blend seamlessly, and where the past and present come together to create a future that is as enchanting as the mansion itself.

Amelia loved the eerie silence of the mansion in the morning, when the only sounds were the soft rustle of her dress and the occasional pats of the old marble floors beneath her feet. It gave her time to think, to plan, to prepare for the day ahead. As she approached the dining hall, she could already smell the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon wafting out from the open door. Her stomach growled in anticipation as she pushed open the door and stepped inside.
