Chapter Three ~ The King's health and Order Meetings

Meanwhile at the Palace...

King Harold Caine was lying in his king sized bed in his room and a servant girl by the name of Sophia Ollivander came to his side and helped him take a potion that reversed the effects of the poison for 12 hours but no matter what the potion did it wasn't enough but it kept him alive all these years and he said "must you make me take this stuff Sophia"?

Sophia smiled and grinned sadly "I know it tastes foul but if it keeps you alive then that's what matters".

Harold once he's taken the potion sat the empty vial on the table and said "Have you news of my children"?

Sophia sighed and said to her love but addressed him in a formal way so the Evil Queen wouldn't find out "No your majesty i haven't".

Harold took his amulet off and rubbed it and then an image of Isabella as well as Archalus with Albus Dumbledore and said "be safe my children"

Sophia looked at the image and said "what's that"?

Harold took his lover into his arms and explained "It's an image showing me where my children are" He then frowned as he saw the image not knowing it was the infamous Hermione Granger and said "hmm i wonder why Isabella looks like that"?

Sophia examined it closer and said "that's Hermione Granger I met her once she's a real caring soul"

Harold chuckled then coughed a bit and said "that's my daughter always sneaky and good with glamour charms".

Sophia realized Isabella would do anything for the kingdom and said "She's always been helpful hasn't she"?

Harold said "Naturally yes and actually she's just like her mother a fighting spirit and she won't go down without a fight"

He then thought of his daughter and then said "Sophia hand me the prophet the one with Hermione Granger inside"

Sophia handed him the prophet with the Article he asked and he gasped as he read the contents and said "Wow she did her part and that i am proud of her"

Sophia then frowned and said "I admire what she did getting rid of Voldemort and helping a few people but she could have been killed"

Harold chuckled and said "Yes but she knows how to defend herself as she was taught well as was Archalus"

Back with Hermione, Archalus and Albus...

Hermione apparated into 12 Grimmauld place and Dumbledore followed afterwards and all the Order members were sat around the long dining table which the Order used for meetings and Dumbledore said "Welcome Order members I have called this meeting because we have a problem that needs to be dealt with".

Moody fearing the worst said "What like another dark lord"?

Albus looked at his old friend and said "No Moody what i mean is the Wizarding crown is under a threat".

Minerva gasped and said "But Albus the King and Queen haven't taken charge of our world in over 30 years".

Hermione gave her Professor a dirty look and said "Actually 20 years".

Albus then went on to explain "Miss Granger's right Minerva after the King re-married Queen Ravenna took over the throne completely"

Hermione mumbled under her breath and gave those critizing her father's rule a dirty look Moody noticed this and said "What do you know Granger of the royal bloodline you're a muggleborn"?

Hermione stood up and angrily said "None of you apart from Albus, Ginny, Harry and Ron know what my life has been like! I was forced to watch my father, myself and my brother be poisoned after Ravenna revealed her true colors.

She then started to cry but quickly wiped her tears and said "I am sorry really i am but what i do is for my safety as well as my brother and father's safety".

Albus then said "Do you want to tell this tale Hermione or shall I"?

Hermione then took a calming breath and said "No i'll do it Albus it is only right as they would have to know eventually anyways"

Molly then said "What's going on Hermione dear"?

Hermione sighed and said "I'm not who you think i am; nor am i a muggleborn it's my cover story to get away from my evil step mother Ravenna. I am not Hermione Granger really my real name is Isabella Grace Caine and I am the princess of the wizarding world as well as Phoenix Royalty due to my mother who was killed but she was Queen of our world and the Phoenixes and father married a servant who took advantage of him and only wanted the throne her name is Ravenna she poisoned me and father and therefore I was unable to transform back into a human for long and actually i went through hell and so do not be fooled by the "bitch from hell" you all call a Queen because she isn't she is an always will be an evil enchantress".

Fawkes flies in and lands on her shoulder and Hermione stroked her brother's feathers and then he flew and transformed in midair and said "Isabella are you sure about this"?

Isabella/Hermione turned towards her brother and said "I am Archalus we need to do this".

Fred then said "Wait Fawkes isn't a phoenix"?

Archalus turned towards the curious prankster he'd learned to like and said "I am a magical animagus like my little sister and actually i must say your pranks come really close to what the marauders did".

Fred and George grinned and said "Wicked!"

Hermione grinned at the twins and said "This is my big brother Archalus Dmitri Caine but you know him as Fawkes and he is the Prince of the wizarding world as well as the Phoenixes Archalus was worst affected so he stayed in his form of a phoenix. I have to transform into a phoenix every night and morning it allows me to be human but i can change into my phoenix form which is Nefertiri at will and i help Archalus get better but the palace is surrounded with Ravenna's guards luckily we are safe because of the wards but i fear for father's life".

Kingsley then said "Wait so you were poisoned and then recovered"?

Hermione explained "Ginny was the first one I told as she caught me transforming from my phoenix form back into my human self and i was weak because of the effects of me being poisoned by Ravenna but Ginny helped me heal and actually I fly off to the palace of Phoenixes whenever I'm in my phoenix form"

Archalus explained "And like Bella I was poisoned and actually i was attended to by Albus after he found me wounded"

Ginny added "I found cuts and scars on Mione too but she begged me not to tell"

Hermione looked down and said "I did what i had to do and I'm so sorry i never told you all oh and I'm not 18 I'm actually 21 and he's 23"

Arcalus then said If you help us you'll need these *gives them each one of his feathers* our feathers are known to protect someone and i ask you all to make a wizards oath not to tell anyone".

Albus nodded and said "These are rare occasions my friend"

Archalus then said "Isabella chipped in some of her feathers too"

Hermione shrugged and said "Oh well they grow back anyway plus if i burst into flames whilst a phoenix I'll be reborn from the ashes".

Archalus looked at his sister and said "That's never happened well not to my knowledge it hasn't".

Hermione nodded and said "And it hasn't happened but i know it has to you dear brother".

So then they all swore their oaths but unlike the wizards oath they wouldn't die if they betrayed their caster they bared little phoenix marks on their wrists and Hermione said "thank you I have a plan but it might mean i could die".

Archalus looked at his sister and angrily said "No i forbid it"!

Hermione looked at her brother and said "I have to Archalus it's the only way father's more important".

Albus interrupted the two by saying "What's the plan Miss Caine"?

Hermione explained "I go to the palace and try to stall her whilst you have the element of surprise".

Archalus was worried for his sister's safety and said "Isabella she could kill you"!

Hermione looked at her brother and said "Hey I've faced worse than her Archalus like Voldemort and Bellatrix and survived"

Archalus sighed knowing he could never truly win a fight between them and said "Alright but please be careful i don't want you joining mum in the afterlife"
