"Can I hold it?" asked Lily and Severus, rather reluctantly let her take the mysterious artefact in her hand. The little arrow who was turning stopped as soon as it touched Lily's skin, replaced by another one, a silver one.
"Oh look Severus! I thought it was broken but it has moved to the right!" Snape, frowning, took the artefact and to his surprise, the two arrows now began oscillating.
"It acknowledges you! It reacts to you now. I must see to the bottom of this mystery!"

Lily had listened very carefully to Snape's long explanation, interrupting him only to ask a few questions. "So, Lucius gifted it to you because it was broken and he couldn't fix it? But it looks intact to me!" The artefact in Snape's palm was of the size of a pocket watch, with four different arrows pointing to 4 different displays of strange writings. One was turning like a small helicopter while he was holding it.
"We could get some answers if we could decipher those characters and numbers" said Lily. "I have nothing else to do, I suggest we find books about this lost realm Dumbledore told you about."
"There are none, someone seems to have borrowed them all" replied Severus.
"Find who and we'll find answers"
