Saturday August 9
Hadrian Cora and Tonks were at St. James palaces getting ready for the annual garden party his grandmother held at Buckingham Palace every summer .
Hadrian was currently in his room getting ready he was wearing a grey morning suit with a yellow vest and blue tie. He looked at his reflection in the mirror as Eli made sure there was any lint on his jacket or pants.
"Okay Sir just remember that there will be a lot of people there but just be yourself and mingle a little bit"said Eli who knew the routine of these parties because he was in Prince Phillip service as a junior valet before he came to Hadrian's service.
" Okay Eli I will try to relax and have a good time "
" Good Sir I think you are ready " said Eli as he took one final look at the Prince
" Great thanks Eli you have been great to me remind me to give you a nice bonus"
Sure thing boss and it time for you to get going said Eli ushering him out of his room.
Hadrian walked to the sitting room to find that's Cora and Tonks were waiting for him, Cora wore a light green dress with long green jacket that stop to her lower thighs she also wore a green straw hat, Tonks wore a light red dress with a red rose carnation in her hair .
Wow you two look stunning said Hadrian he then look at Tonks Are you sure you are up to this if you feel you can't be out there any longer let me know .
"Yes Rian I will let you know if I don't feel well "
Hadrian nodded to that "Well I guess we should go before we are late" and with that they headed out to the car Rian decided to take the Bentley today and they all got in the back while Felix and Demetri got in the passenger and drivers seat and the proceeded to Buckingham Palace. As he entered the gates of the Palace he felt the wards he had paid the goblins handsomely to add the extra protection to the royal residences.
As the arrived at the front entrance they were greeted by the Queen's Private Secretary who told them where the rest of the family was waiting they quietly made their way to the Bow Room and was immediately greeted by his cousins Princess Beatrice Eugenie Zara and Kate who made a fuss over Cora on how's she's glowing and great she looks and how's she's showing.
Which left Rian shaking his head at their actions he then turned to the rest of the family and introduced Tonks which his aunts took a liking too.
Hadrian made his way over to William Harry and Peter while the ladies occupied Cora and Tonks .
"So how it been little cousin "said Harry slinging an arm over Rians shoulder.
"I been well Harry how about you guys" he asked his cousins .

"I been good too Rian just got a promotion at the Bank of England to Vice President and Autumn and I are going to Italy for our anniversary" said Peter .
"Well you know me cousins royal duties during the week and partying on the weekends" said Harry with a smile.
Just then a pair of hands wrapped over Hadrian's eyes a the person said "Guess who".
"Hmm let me think Cleopatra no how about Anastasia no well this must be my beautiful girlfriend"Hadrian said as he turned around to come face to face with Alex who was was wearing a light purple dress with purple and white fascinator he took her in his arms and gave a passionate kiss which led to wolf whistles from Harry.
After they pulled apart Alex leaned into Hadrian's embrace and looked at his cousins.
"So how are you guys" asked Alex with a smile
"We are good but not as good as you just made Rian over here" replied William with a smirk.
"How are you Alex we heard you are at Cambridge" .

The garden party went well with Hadrian basically escorting Alex around while Cora and Tonks stayed together Hadrian would often go over to the duo to make sure they were alright he also noticed that the rest of his family often checked on the duo as they were chatting under the shade of the queens tent.
Hadrian and Alex posed for pictures as did Hadrian and Cora and Tonks. By the end of the party Hadrian had to exhausted ladies on his hand which he instructed Demetri to drive the back to St James while he escorted Alex back to Kensington Palace.
So with that we find Hadrian at the door of Alex's apartment at Kensington Palace giving her a good night kiss once they broke apart they just stared at each other with love.

"I should tell you to behave yourself and give Cora and Tonks my regards"
