Severus had already admitted that the colours Lily had chosen suited his little cottage rather well. The attic bedroom had been painted a soft rose-gold colour, reflecting beautifully the light of the morning sun. The kitchen was pastel teal that contrasted with the eggshell-coloured shelves. The living room had received a coat of warm green-gold paint. The maroon sofa and furniture made it look bigger than it actually was. The outside of the cottage had been primed with the palest yellow. Now the dainty house was glowing in the sun. The Potion Lab had been last a broken white, not blinding but certainly light enough to enhance the natural and artificial light. The warm tones made working there quite enjoyable. It was different from Severus" old dungeon quarters. But that was just a passing thought. So, since Harry's elf had proven such brilliant eyes for colours, he was willing to indulge her again. However, the girl seemed close to tears.
