"Miseria, come let me show you to your room." Khaat took Miseria down a different hallway. She opened the door next to her own, and took Miseria inside. She had not told Miseria that this bedroom had been her beloved Uncle Remus's own room. Her mother had updated it, but Khaat could see feel all the love still here. It was, compared to the other rooms in the house, very luxurious. It had antique wood paneling on the walls and a marble fireplace. Above the fireplace was a wizard portrait of a little girl in a green dress, with blond and chestnut hair, wearing a distinctive green necklace. She smiled and laughed often in the portrait. It had hung here for a long time, and it had been one of her uncle's favorite posessions.
There was also a small sofa and a chair and a table arranged in a small sitting area in front of the fireplace where a warm, magical fire glowed.
The fabrics in the room were a deep rich sapphire green, with deep soft green carpet on the floor, and there were vases of flowers on the tables. It looked like the room of a princess now. It made Khaat smile. Her mother had outdone herself for her new granddaughter. Remus would have kept things simpler here, but Khaat liked the new, refreshing look.
"This is your room here," Khaat said. "Mine is next door to your left. What do you think?"
