Okay IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE MUST READ

So i know I have three fanfics that I should be updating but let me explain

For

Eye of the Beholder - I'm just kinda stuck on this and a bit tired of it. I need to take a break from it for a bit.

Bundles - I just no longer like the idea and it will be going on an indefinite hiatus

Room of Fire- That will be updated within the next month

The reason I do not place these notes in the actual stories is because of this rule set by ff "The chapter system is not to be used as placeholder for non-story content such as author notes. You can add short author notes to the beginning or at the end of stories but never as individual chapters.

On to this story

Chapter 1

Gryffindor Towers

The wind was calm and the skies were blue and for the first time in years there was a sense of serenity in the air.

For four years all Hermione had seen were the horrors of the world. Horrors going against her type of people and those who supported them. She saw people die. She had to lie to her parents about her safety. She was...scarred and yet it was all worth it now. She had never felt so safe in this world and so all in all it was worth it.

Winning the war was what got Hermione where she was that day. Today Hermione Jean Granger was sitting in the large library of the Gryffindor towers reading about the history of the kingdoms of Hogwarts.

There were four lands. The mountains, the grasslands, the river valley, and the swamp/ocean front. All four lands were ruled by separate rulers with separate views but all worked together to hold the values of there people. As you see, all four kingdoms were the homes of magical folk. All four lands with their different types of people worked together to keep up the magical culture and protect the magical people of England.

There was the majestic mountains of Gryffindor (where she lived). Founded by His Righteousness Godric Gryffindor. The people who chose to live in these lands were of the brave sort. They had pride and bravery, they never let people stand in their way. It was a gryffindor that finally vanquished the Dark Lord. Newly appointed king Harry Potter was truly what a Gryffindor represented. Of course he had help from all others ... yet many seemed to forget that.

After the mountains were the beautiful grasslands where the Ravenclaws lived. The Ravenclaws were intelligent and had some of the best healers in the lands. Founded by the genius Rowlena Ravenclaw, the grasslands were where you went if you had a patient and brilliant mind ( well unless you were Hermione Granger). Their healers and the smart minds , like the quirky Luna Lovegood, helped immensely but were usually forgotten at the celebrations done by the other magical lands and the smaller villages outside the kingdoms ( ruled by the ministry of magic)

Next to the river with the rich soils was the land founded by a simple farm witch many years ago, the Hufflepuffs. Helga Hufflepuff was amazing with Herbology and potions that attracted many to her lands. During the war the Hufflepuffs supplied so many necessary things. (Not that the Ministry really thought was a great feat.)

Finally hidden near the ocean and behind the swamp lands was the kingdom of Slytherin. Founded by the cunning and ambitious Salazar Slytherin the Slytherin lands were the most beautiful where only the high society men and women lived. The Slytherin Kingdom was also once ruled by the Dark Lord. In this kingdom came many of the villains and so they were known as the bad kingdom ( the ministry ignored the many heroes that did come from the kingdom).Although they were trying to fix themselves , they still had a bit of a problem.

That 'bit of a problem' was what kept creeping up into her feeling of calm and replacing it with dread every time it breached the waters of calm.

King Harry was getting a big head and had proclaimed that the lands should come together under his rule. He believed it would be the start of an era with no wars. A connected community would be able to avoid the conflicts that could happen.

Hermione didn't agree. She knew it was a bad idea. The other lands , mainly the other Kings and Queens, would not want to give their ideals to follow the ideals of the chosen one. The slytherins especially.

She knew that Harrys ideals and the Ministries ignorance ( as in ignoring the tension) were going to bring back war very fast. She did know because she was the most brilliant, the brightest witch of the age. She knew that this was not a good plan but there was the key word. She.

Ronald , Harrys best friend, right hand man, and newly appointed general/duke, had been constantly shooting her down. Harry taking his side. It had been happening since the end and the three were proclaimed the heroes.

Ronald had acted as if he and Harry were the best, the invincible. He now treated Hermione like a weak woman and she was starting to get fed up.

"Hermione," a shrilly voice called into the library. " You must go. My brother calls for you."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I am busy as you can see Ginevra," she told the sister of Ronald and now proud fiance of Harry.

"You cannot keep my brother waiting , he will be the duke after Harry takes over."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

'Cause he deserved that,' Hermione thought.

"But he is not right now is he Ginevra," Hermione retorted.

The girl with the flaming hair turned red in the cheeks.

"You will not speak to your future queen like that," she said. " You are nothing unlike me now I command you to move."

Hermione glared but not wanting to cause a stir obeyed.

It wasn't fair. She wasn't nothing.

...

"No," Hermione yelled.

"Now now Mione," Ron said. " I happen to think its a great idea, you have always wanted to marry me. Even Harry agrees."

"You pretentious pigs, how dare you treat me like this," Hermione argued.

"He is right Mione , its your duty and I command this of you," Harry replied.

She couldn't believe this . They were forcing her to marry him. They had finally lost it.

"You cannot command me Harry," she said.

This was ludicrous. What had happened to these men causing them to become such idiots?

What had happened to the equality they were fighting for?

"Hermione Hermione," Ron chuckled. " You are nothing but a muggle princess, that does not mean anything here. That side of you is nothing but muggle."

Hermione glared. They had finally lost it...

That was the argument that Hermione now in a mans disguise running through the forest. Running through a forest away from the sound of hooves and closer to the apparation area.

This day had not gone as planned.

...
