Alice woke up getting dressed. She decided to find Rosario so she could explain to her about the potions and outfits and why they made the wearer act so differently. She wasn't even sure if Rose knew about it already but said that it would do her no harm to find out about them. As she was exiting her room she heard a pop behind her jumping as a vase full of daisies appeared settling on her dresser. Blaise was so perfect wasn't he? She went downstairs finding Rosario in the lounge with some tea and toast with eggs having her breakfast. "Did you sleep well sweetie?" she asked her joining her at the table in order to have some breakfast herself.
"Yes Alice I did thank you. What about you?" Rosario responded yawning in tiredness.
"Oh I slept well myself. Would you like some breakfast?" she said triedly.
"Yes I'd love some more thank you. I am pretty hungry this morning. I had such fun with Blaise yesterday we decided our song should be 'at last' after I told him that you and Draco's song was 'make you feel my love'" said Alice her eyes clouding over with feelings of love.
"Well we do both love that song but it's not our actual song. Our song is actually 'a thousand years' we just both feel it describes our love the best. Know what I mean?" said Rosario in a dreamy tone which could rival even the tone of the old Luna Lovegood.
"Actually yes I do. I mean 'At last' means so much to Blaise and I. I wanted to actually speak to you about something. How much do you know about the potions and suits we both have that are enchanted? Obviously we both know they are enchanted but do you actually know why?" Alice asked carefully feeling embarrassed.
"Actually I just assumed they loved to act why? Do you really know why they are enchanted or something?" Rosario askednow very curious indeed. She partly guessed she should know why alas she didn't.
"Yes actually I do. The clothes as you no doubt have already realised change your appearance as long as they are actually on you but the potions have a time limit. Some of the potions last an hour, some last over an hour and some last only half an hour. It is obvious to me that out parents liked to become other people for sex, role playing out these new and wonderful characters. I figured that out yesterday as after half an hour my outfit wore off so obviously that was just used for quickie sex!" said Alice now puce with embarrassment.
"Wow that is so hot! And oddly I'm quite turned on by that fact not the fact that our parents used them but what we can do with them. We so have to use more of these with our fiancés. How fun I mean imagine all the possibilities we could have together. Hmm Alice does Blaise know this?" said Rosario feeling highly turned on at the ideas that had just entered her head.
"Yes he knows as he read my mind yesterday and he likes it. He told me this morning that he's told Draco all about them and said Draco is now even more mad that you guys can't have it off until you're both married!" she said giggling slightly as she imagined Draco being in a foul mood with everyone because of it. "Blaise really is cruel" she said again smirking. Rose thought about how they would go about this whole engagement thing? I mean they knew they were engaged but in no way knew how to actually properly behave in pureblood society.
"Alice I think we may need to get some lessons in being a proper pureblood wife and just a pureblood person in general. I mean we will now have very different expectations then we ever did as Hermione and Luna. I want to know how I should conduct myself and all of my affairs. I want to know how best to get the most out of Draco emotionally in this relationship and how to give the most emotionally that I have to give. Do you think we should?" asked Rosario tentatively afraid she might in some way offend her sister.
"Actually Rosario I think it's a wonderful idea I mean I have no idea what's expected of me or what I should be expecting of Blaise. I know that the muggle world is obviously very different to the pureblood world but because I was only ever half blood I still don't know how things work in the pureblood world either way. I will go to my study now and write a letter to Madame de Roux. She is only the most famous pureblood teacher in all of France and will be very qualified and willing to teach us about these things. I know she will be able to teach us a different variety of things before we get married. My own father spoke of her kindly before as it was she who taught him how to behave amongst my pureblood mother" said Alice fondly.
"That sounds splendid I'm going to go now and have a nice long soak in the bath. Let me know when you've sent it. See you in a bit" said Rosario now leaving and heading for the main bathroom.
"I will no problems. See you later" said Alice now going to her study and removing some headed paper, some ink and a fancy golden calligraphy quill from the top drawer in her desk. She routed through the drawer for her families' rubber seal stamp and an envelope so she could properly send the letter in the best way possible putting a charm on the envelope so only Madame de Roux could open it smiling. She sat there and thought and hard about what she should say. Should she explain about there change or should she just say they need help. As she thought she came to the conclusion that because honesty is always the best policy she decided to tell her of their cosmetic changes so to speak. She picked up her quill and dipped it into her ink well on her desk and began her letter.
Dear Madame de Roux,
I am Alice Dubois and I am writing to you from the House de Dubois called Mallory Heights in Kent just an hour outside London, where I live with my twin sister Rosario. I believe you may have known my parents Angelique and Pierre Dubois given that they themselves were French but as France is so large I understand you may not have either which is no problem. Now everyone they knew believed they were just married however what no one really knows is that they did in fact have children. Myself and my sister Rosario Dubois were born into an unsafe environment where Voldermort was killing all around him and our parents saw fit to change both of our appearances and leave us with two different families they knew at the time who were willing to help them save our lives. Voldermort you see at this time had said that all children born to pureblood families who did not support him at once or who did not have parents who supported him were to be killed immediately. As our parents were indeed purebloods but did not in anyway support him they had to send us away to other families in order to keep us alive and it has indeed worked.
Rosario was changed into a muggle born with an alternated personality and appearance. She was made to resemble her adoptive family so as to raise less suspicion. I myself was altered appearance and personality wise and sent to a half blood family they knew well and trusted deeply. My previous designation was Luna Marie Lovegood and my sister was Hermione Jean Granger. As I've previously explained we are twins so when we both turned nineteen the glamour on us was lifted after we said the spell our adoptive families had given us. It was after that we were finally able to see who we were really always meant to be including what we should have always looked like. We do by now notice that our real personalities are extremely different to the ones we'd been given before. I can safely say it's been a learning experience within itself having to come to terms with how different we are now as people.
We not only gained pureblood status but also two wedding contracts drawn up when our parents were alive stating that we would have to marry the two young men they'd selected for us who would no doubt be in our year at Hogwarts. These two men were Mr Blaise Zabini for myself and Mr Draconis Malfoy for my dear sister Rosario. These men's fathers had not even known where the Dubois children had gone until our true identities were finally revealed to us earlier this month. As you now know we very suddenly became pureblood which is why we now write to you. We are aware that we must become pureblood wives and women in society but have no idea what to do ourselves or what to expect of others. We're not even sure what is expected of us or what to do in society which could be percieved by others to be either utterly scandalous or just incorrect. We would greatly appreciate your tuition in the art of being true pureblood young ladies as we know we have a lot to learn in this area. We hope you will be able to make the time to teach us this and if not we do hope you know the name of someone who is just as important as you who can teach us right away.
We know you are the best in all of France and would honour the opportunity to be taught by someone of your stature with such infinite skill. We will be willing to pay the going rate and can negotiate on prices if you would prefer to do things that way. We'd very much like to know more about our family such as who they were in society and so on but only if you knew them as we know you may not have known them at all. We graciously await your reply and thank you very much for your time.
Signed ,
Miss Alice Marie Dubois.
She placed her rubber seal in the wet wax that she had now just poured onto the back of the envelope and removed the stamp to leave behind the indentation of their family crest. She called over her new pet owl Davis who sat on a perch in the corner of her personal office tooting happily. Davis had white feathers and was white as snow in colour. He was truly beautiful to behold. Reaching into her desk she pulled out a handful of treats for him saying "Now Davis please take this letter to Madame de Roux in Paris but ensure that only she gets the letter and no one else intercepts you. Good boy." He tooted happily eating a treat before catching the letter in his beak and flying out the now opened window. She rested her head back on her swivel chair and fell asleep momentarily as she waited for Davis to return.
Soon enough Davis returned tooting happily while she gave him some more treats taking the red letter from his beak and allowing him to return comfortably to his perch in the corner of the room. She admired the letter's beautiful red colour and the ornate beautiful way in which the letters had been written. Hmm very French she thought aloud reaching for her platinum letter opener and placing it in the side slid it all the way across to other side of the envelope neatly opening it. The letter inside had a trim of gold leaf flowers going all around the parchment. Opening out the letter itself she began to read.
Madame Dubois,
It is an utter honour that I find myself writing this letter to you although not entirely surprising. I have read your letter and now understand why you need the help which I can safely say I will be honoured to give you for any price you wish to pay me. You mentioned in your letter that you shall be marrying Mr Blaise Zabini and that your sister shall be marrying Mr Draconis Malfoy two of the richest purebloods in our world but I gathered from that letter that this was the only information you have received so far. I assume you went to your vaults at Gringotts and I know that if you do not know this by now your parents asked me to assist you should you ever write to me in the future requesting my help which they seemed to think you would indeed do. It was to be up to me to tell you that you are not who you think you are. Yes you are the Dubois girls rich purebloods but in actuality you are French Royalty which excites me very much.
Your mother was Angelique Capet the daughter of the late Queen Giselle Capet II of France and her husband Prince Hugh Capet. She has one other sister Monique Capet and two brothers Charles and Louis Capet. Monet is now the Queen of France as she was next in line for the throne when her mother passed away two yeats ago. That makes both you and your sister Princesses Royal of France. We knew your parents had children once before and that she had hidden you for safety from Voldermort but we never knew when we'd be hearing from you again which was at times a worry as we never knew if you two were even still alive anymore. However we kept up hope and now here you are I am delighted to say.
Your people will be very delighted to know that Alice and Rosario Dubois Princesses Royal are now ok and in safe hands once again as they had worried so much about you and your welfare over the years. The magical part of your people that is. You will be required to attend some formal functions here in the future with your fiancés and it will be imperative that we train you young ladies on how to behave in that instance and any other instance really. As I have stated previously Monique Capet is now the Queen of France after her mother passed away and will want her two nieces the Princesses of France around for official engagements as she never had children herself. She has just turned fifty herself and has asked me to help you prepare for Royal life outside the palace and within the palace as you shall live both inside and outside the palace dpeending on which country you are in at the time. She asked me to do this as soon as I informed her that I had recieved your letter.
I hope this information will not be too taxing upon you at this time as I know you are focusing on your eventual and impending weddings as well as your education no doubt. I know Lucius and Leonardo well as we go way back and I have already decided to write to them about your new high status in France. Because of the fact that it is of interest to their future daughters in law I feel that their sons should know about their status hence me writing to them in the first place. I have now decided that with your express permission we shall all conference around the large table at your manor's conference room tomorrow evening. You shall also be wanting to know where the secret passages and so on can be located in your home which I will be able to tell you as your parents told me. I shall do my very best to teach you all that I know.
Because the people of France now know about you they shall be wanting to know not only what you look like and what fashion sense you have but also about who your husbands are and how you conduct yourselves. You will be fashion idols to all the young people of France inspiring them which is why everyone will be inerested to see what kind of style you now have. Obviously now that you are Royalty you cannot just go where you want to at anytime anymore. You must wear certain types of clothing that show you respect who you are while also being able to showcase that you are young and beautiful people. You will only be expected to wear big elegant dresses with tiaras and such at Royal engagements and will be expected to wear skirt or pant suits and dresses that all have a princess or similar necklines when you're not at school in your uniform.
I shall call by tomorrow evening at six pm. I have asked Dumbledore who has granted the two young gentlemen some time off from their studies to come with you to France and become accustomed to your new apartments in the Royal Palace here as when you are here for official engagements they shall be living with you here. I have told Dumbledore we will need two weeks to complete this and then all four of you shall return to the school to complete your studies. Once you have returned to your schooling I shall see you everyday for lessons that will be two hours approx. I look forward to working with your Royal Highness' in the near future. Thank you for this marvellous opportunity as it is the best of my career so far.
Signed,
Madame de Roux.
As Alice finished reading the letter she screamed dropping it and then fainting as soon as Rosario entered the room. "Alice! Alice wake up are you alright?" said Rosario in a panic not even noticing the letter now clutched in her hands as she came round feeling slighty groggy.
"I um I don't actually know how I am supposed to feel right now!" she said alarm and confusion lacing her voice so much so that it scared Rosario.
"What do you by 'supposed to feel'?" she asked now sounding even more freaked out about what Alice might say next.
"Read the letter here in my hand Rosario and once you have finished you tell me immediately what you think of it's contents" said Alice in a stupour handing the letter to her sister who took it confusion now all over her face.
"Right ok I will just a moment please!" Rosario sat on the sofa by the fire reading the letter and shrieked as she reached the end without fainting of course.
"I am...I mean...I...you...me... we are Royalty what a lot to take in" she stuttered out shocked to the core, If she'd expected anything in the world this was nowhere on the list.
"Yes I know that. Well I guess we'll see her tomorrow evening then. The fact that she now works for us is slightly thrilling you must admit" Alice chuckled weakly trying to find some humour in it to lighten up the mood in the room.
"Yes I do think so myself as well. I wonder if it's still ok to Marry Draco and Blaise now?" asked Alice suddenly worried they might actually be forced to marry people they didn't know or indeed like at all now.
"Well she said in her letter we will all have a conference with them and their fathers tomorrow so I'm assuming it is still ok until I hear otherwise. At least it better be because I'm not loosing Draco now or ever" said Rosario now suddenly feeling very protective of him and his honour. She would right now gladly be tortured if it meant she wouldn't be forced to try and love someone else she knew she'd never have a connection with.
"I hope she explains to them that we knew nothing of this as I don't want them thinking that we knew about this previously and chose not to tell them. I also don't want their view of us changing suddenly. I'm aware that this is probably so much to ask but it will upset me if Blaise thinks of me differently or thinks I'm not good enough anymore or even too good" said Alice now crying. She soon stopped crying however when she felt Blaise becoming concerned about her assuring him that she was fine and that they'd talk tomorrow evening at the manor.
"Do not worry Alice I know he would never think that. He loves you and will in fact probably love the fact that he will be married to a Princess Royal. I sure know it will be a huge ego boost to Draco and Lucius although I'd rather it was not such an ego boost to Lucius as that is very annoying. I just mean that he has enough of a huge ego it doesn't honestly need to become any larger" she said rolling her eyes to heaven dramatically and making Alice laugh at her lightly.
"I know it doesn't and I know Blaise's father will be very proud also but I'm worried we won't be able to have any private time with them what with our new status. I mean we'll be so busy now attending Royal functions that we may not have time to be truly romantic and express our feelings without being judged for it. Also what will people back at school think of us because of this. I really don't want to loose any friends over this or have anyone stay friends with us just to get some perks. I just hope everyone will still be honest with us after this I mean we all know how greed can force people to lie about everything and anything. I don't want people thinking we withhed this information from them on purpose or something as we didn't even know about it till today. I really don't want to looe friends over this but sweetie we might and it scares me" Alice now very nervous indeed.
"Alice our friends will still be our friends no matter what so stop worrying about that. Harry is extremely popular all over the world because of his defeat of Voldermort and we are still his friend so he will still be our friend too. Our status is changing but the way we are or who we have as friends will never change unless they themselves decide to change it. I may now be royalty but I will never alter how I treat my friends no matter what Madame De Roux says and that's final I'm afraid" said Rose seriously.
"Oh yeah I guess I just hadn't thought about it that way before. I bet we'll have to wear loads of calve length dresses and suits along with the usual white gloves and really cool headpieces. I just really hope our friends don't constantly curtsy before us as that will be so awkward. In fact I'll be telling them that as official friends of ours they are strictly forbidden from doing so. I know Ginny will be delighted. I can't wait to show her around the Palace and that once we're settled in. She'll have to join us at some functions if and when she can" said Alice now beaming at the idea.
"We'll have to provide her with the appropriate wear though once she has it she can often join us. How exciting. She will enjoy going shopping with us the most I'd say but then again I'm looking forward to that myself. I'd like to be able to treat Molly every now again for how kind she had always been to us over the years. For years she was a second mother to us and it hasn't gone unnoticed by me. I mean I want to give her some new clothes and jewellery I just hope she won't upset me by rejecting them and just accepts them as I really want her to have some jewels that any women would be proud to own. I love her really and she's always been so monumental in my life. It was her who taught me how to bake and her who taught me how to sew and design my own clothing should the need arise" said Rosario smiling brightly.
"Yes and it was her who taught me how to garden and cook effectively which I learned because my own father so to speak could not cook and I needed to be able to cook for him or else we'd all have staerved. We'll definitely thank her together for being our very surrogate mother as we both love her so much. I'm tired now so I'm so going to go to bed and I'll see you in the morning" said Alice yawning as it had taken them the whole day to discuss the topic seriously.
"Yes tomorrow will be so interesting won't it? I can't wait to see what everyone thinks and of course to meet the famous Madame de Roux although she's probably feeling that about us which to me is still very strange. Goodnight Alice. See you in the morning" said Rosario now going into her own room and climbing into bed as waves of sleep washed over her body sending her into a deep sleep.
