CHAPTER 2:
Her Majesty Hermione Granger is sitting in front of her vanity table inside her room when a swooshing sound distracted her from brushing her hair. A phoenix elegantly landed over the top of her windowsill looking at her with all the glory of one full of confidence and bravery just like a true phoenix.
"Fawkes! Oh I haven't seen you for a long time now." She gasped and stood upon seeing a letter tied up on the birds' left foot, "Now what do we got here?" The queen of the three rulers then untied the letter from the phoenix before going back to her sit and opened the said letter.
"An afternoon tea with professor? My, this must be important." She said slowly staring at Fawkes, she knows that when the professor/advisor invited them for a tea, it's to discuss something important especially if it's in the afternoon because he believe that mornings are only to be greeted with good news and those that are discussed in the afternoon would sometimes leave you choking over your own tea. That's' to put it lightly.
She then rush over to her night table, grabbed a quill and parchment and wrote her reply before going over to the waiting phoenix.
"Thank you for waiting my dear." She stroked the phoenix gently and tied the letter. "Be a darling and give my reply to professor." The phoenix then flew away and the queen walked back to her table ringing the bell slightly to call on her lady-in-waitings.
Two middle aged woman walked in and curtsied to her,
"I'm going to have an afternoon tea with professor." After she said this, the two lady-in-waiting walked over to her and stand behind her.
------
"Professor, how are you?" Her Majesty Hermione greeted and smiled at their former tutor/advisor when the door of the room was close and they are settled over the table near an open window showing the view of the west garden.
"Ah, I'm all fine, you're Majesty." Professor Dumbledore smiled and his eyes twinkled more.
"Hermione professor, just Hermione, please. It's been five years but I'm still not used to you calling us that sir."
"Oh but I must, your Majesty. What would the people say?"
"Oh well, but there aren't any people in here now, are they? Besides Harry and Ron would say the same if they're here with me."
The professor chuckled a bit, "Smart as ever I see Miss Hermione!" He settled on using the one's he had used when he is still teaching/training them. "Well then, I invited you here to have some tea didn't I and not let these get cold and wasted." He then handed her a cup before pouring for himself.
Hermione sipped on her tea before settling it down and looked straight at the old professor sitting across her.
"Professor, what is it?" She then asked softly. She looked a bit shocked when the professor chuckled yet again.
"I see you've been spending a lot of time with Mr. Ron Weasley, he's bluntness is starting to rub on you." He peered on her with his eyes twinkling brightly and a teasing smile on his lips.
"Professor! You haven't given up on that yet haven't you?" Hermione groaned slightly on her hand, she is grateful that they can show their true selves to their professor without the fear of being stared at for their manners and conduct. The three of them love their people, their kingdom and everything around it but as the past rulers have told them, they have to wear their masks around as form of their protection if they want to gain the trust and confidence of, not only the people, but also the parliament.
"It'll be a shame to pass that one." Professor Dumbledore then turned serious; he withdrew his wand and waved it towards the door and the halls casting silencing and protective spells.
"I received a rather delicate news from a friend of mine in the elven kingdom, I actually don't know whether to be happy on this one or not." The professor somber voice told Hermione that this news is indeed serious.
"What do you mean professor?" Professor Dumbledore took another seep from his tea.
"I assume you've read all about the first war and the dark lord who attempted in conquering our Kingdom?"
"Yes professor, professor Snape made sure we read all about the dark arts involving our kingdom and outside world." The professor then smiled making the queen continue, "I still remember him drawling on us about not dreaming of becoming a ruler if we can't even defend our selves from a simple dark spells or that we can't recognize simple poisonous potions." She then smiled at him after that. "He really made sure that our guards are always up by always taking us by surprise."
Professor Dumbledore chuckled, "Yes but he made a good teacher, don't you think? But before we steer out of our subject, please read this first." He then offered her a scroll which she unrolled and started reading.
After a while, Hermione gasped and looked at the professor, "Professor, if you don't mind me asking, is your friend a seer?"
"Yes Miss Hermione, my friend indeed is an elf seer. Please do continue reading."
Not long after, Hermione calmly folded back the scroll and put it atop the table then slowly looked up.
"Well, I think I agree with you professor, I don't know if this'll be a great news but if a plan is to be carefully put out there's no reason for this one to not be great don't you think so professor?" She said this slowly and calmly while staring straight into the professor's eyes. She then blinked when the said professor beamed at him and the twinkles on his eyes were back in full force.
"As smart and brilliant as always Miss Hermione, I expected no less from you!" Hermione blushed and pushed back the nagging thought on her mind, telling her that somehow this really is the plan of the great manipulator or as what they call him, Professor Dumbledore.
They then continue on their tea with just a light conversation regarding the situation of the kingdom and the on going gossips inside the palace and such others.
"Well that went well." Her Majesty Hermione said this to her empty quarter, she was back just an hour before dinner but now she is preparing for bed. "I just wonder how he will take this." She then shrugged, "I expect no less than great from a carefully laid out plan." She smiled a bit before drifting to sleep dreaming about certain plan that had been started through light talks of gossips.
----------
Prince Draco and Lady Pansy reached an oak door located in the west wing of the palace near the room of the king and queen.
"Here you go; I'll be waiting for you on the library." Lady Pansy squeezed his hands before turning back and walking towards the direction of the palace's library. He took a deep breath before knocking three times and opened the door.
Three heads turned towards him as he entered the sitting room reserved for private meetings. He then walked towards the king, kneel down in front of him and bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, you've requested my presence?" He said with his head still bowed down. The king then waved his hand to his companion dismissing them in favor of talking to his son. The two men bowed their head before heading towards the door and closing it behind them. The king yet again waved his hand and a swish of magic surrounds the room before calming down.
"Your Majesty--" He began but was cut down immediately.
"Oh shush and will you stand up before I decide that you'd look better being a servant." The prince looks up at this to see his father, the king, smiling at him.
"Father…" He said softly standing up and moving forward toward his father.
"I see you've not gone out again tonight. You're mother almost destroyed my ear shouting at me on how I could just let you go and drown yourself with alcohol." His father grimaced before looking at him sternly, "I expect that such action is to not be repeated Draco. I like Mr. Blaise and I'm a friend of his father but when I am to see you like that again, I shall see to it that you are to not be acquainting yourself with him again if that's the only way to save myself from your mother's wrath."
"Yes father." His lips twitched but that's the only give away of what he is feeling right now.
"Well do you plan to have your tea standing up? I want to talk to you about something that is important so I'd rather you sit down and do your training or whatever later when we're finished here." His father asked gesturing to a seat across the table.
Prince Draco blushed slightly in embarrassment. His father always made him feel emotions he don't want to think he posses because it is unbecoming of a prince to feel those.
King Lucius Malfoy smirked inwardly upon seeing the faint tinge of pink on her son's cheeks. It had become his habit to tease his son even if his wife always reprimanded him on doing so.
This habit started when Draco was just two years old, Draco fell down from his pony when his trainer just turns away to fixed their pack of food. Draco's leg was caught through the rope and was dragged around by the running pony but what scared the king most was when he learned that his son didn't even cry or show any emotion save from his wincing due to the bruises he got. From then on he started drawing out emotions from his son through teasing him when they are having their family time or when they are just talking about matters just like now.
"My advisor told me some news that's rather disturbing and amusing." The king said to his son while looking straight in his eyes.
"Professor Grindelwald you mean father?" Prince Draco said feeling uncertain of what the news is because his father never told him directly what the seer had told him except if it involve him.
"Indeed."
