A/N I got the idea for this from a movie we are watching in social studies. It's called Ivanhoe. Quite a good movie, actually. This is just a little side-show I'm working on at the moment. I have a Draco Hermione fic idea that i'm playing around with in my head a little, but it may never reach my keyboard.

Disclaimer:The world of Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling. I am just playing with it. But I promise to put it back where I found it when I am finished.

Character Rundown

Harry = Prince Harold of Gryffindor Harry is self-condfidant, handsome, a good wizard, a wonderful friend and protector, and a kind and just ruler. An orphan since his first year, he longs for love, but does not wish to have his heart broken. Though only the Crown Prince until he comes of age, he knows what his responsibilities are, and can get his adviser to command the kingdom as he wants it done.

Hermione = Lady Hermione of Loxley A headstrong, muggle born witch who is determined to win her place in society and be married with her actions and brains, not by her birth and betrothel contracts. She is one of the few nobles who can read and write and spends much of her time in the royal library when she visits the palace.

Ron = Sir Ronald of Edinbourgh(it's a real city, I checked!) Still the stubborn redhead we all know and love (or hate!), Ronald is aactually quite responsible and smart. (Shocking!) He is Harold's best friend and the general of the Gryffindor army and the teacher of hand-to-hand combat at the royal training academy. Sir Ronald is quite the ladies' man and falls in love with a countess or Lady every other week.

Professor Dumbledore = Sir Albus of Hogwarts As Harold's royal adviser, Albus helps out in many aspects of ruling a kingdom and army. He was once the general of the Gryffindor army but is now retired, prefering a quiet life as Harry's friend and mentor. He teaches the magical classes for wizarding children at the royal training academy.

Draco Malfoy = Prince Malfoy of Slytherin An arrogant, snide and cruel man, he rules as Crown Prince of Slytherin and general of the Slytherin army. However, as protocal demands, he has remained an ally with Harold and Gryffindor. His view on love is : 'If she looks good and can get in bed without a first date, she's a keeper.' Obviously not a stay-at-home kinda guy.

Sirius Black = Sir Sirius of Lancaster He is the general of the Gryffindor navel fleet. A strong young man, he is the godfather of Harold and was his parents' best friend. Sirius is also big with the ladies though he has never been in love. He spent ten years in prison for having killed Harold's parents, a crime that was commited by another man. He was released on Harold's eleventh birthday, when he started at Hogwarts.

Reamus Lupin = Sir Reamus of Lupe-Garou A werewolf, he tries to lead a normal life, but has many obvious problems with that. He was never one for women, but like Hermione, spends much of his time off the battle fields in the royal library. He befriended Sir Sirius and King James in their own RTA school days, before the rise of the Dark Wave.

Voldemort = Sir Thomas of Slytherin The real power behind the throne of Draco's father, he is responsible for the death of Harold's parents and Sirius' imprisonment. Althogh only half-blood wizard, he firmly believes that all muggle borns, like Hermione, should be exterminated ASAP. The Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw armies have been fighting against his Dark Wave and Death Eaters for nearly three decades.

Area Rundown

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry = The Royal Training Academy for Muggles, Witches, and Wizards (The RTA) Operated on the lands of Sir Albus, the RTA was founded by Sir Godric of Wildmoore, Lady Rowena of Glen, Lady Helga of Valley Broad, and Sir Salazar of Fenn. It is the place where young wizards and witches are taught how to use their powers, and the muggle children who have no powers are trained as body gaurds and knights of the royal army. All pupils are taught hand-to-hand combat, horse riding, tilting, and weapons fighting. The magical youngsters are also instructed on broom flight, magical defense mechanisms, (Defense Against the Dark Arts) and magical combat (dueling). Older students are taught Boating and Navel Command and Strategy classes (BANCAS).

Britin = The Four Corners A country shaped like a diamond, The Four Corners is the country holding Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor, the four contries that meet in the very center.

Gryffindor = The Kingdom of Gryffindor No longer a Hogwarts house, Gryffindor is the northern most kingdom in the Four Corners. It is the most powerful kingdom in the country, as well as the best equiped army-wise. The rulers of Gryffindor are generally the rulers of the entire country.

Slytherin = The Kingdom of Slytherin The southern kingdom of the Four Corners, Slytherin breeds evil and mayhem in whatever land they own. Much of its time is spent building up armies that are then scattered when sent out to conquer other lands. Any witch or wizard that ever went bad was born and raised in Slytherin. Must be something in the air.

Hufflepuff = The Queendom of Hufflepuff Because it was founded by Queen Hufflepuff of Valley Broad, it was proclaimed a queendom upon her death. In this country, as well as Ravenclaw, the queen holds the power and is Absolute General of all armies, naval fleet, and all aspects of the defensive and offensive position of the armed forces. Hufflepuff is known well for its hard workers and loyal friends. Hufflepuff has an excellent trade and many fine products, such as wine, fruits, grain, and sweet milk.

Ravenclaw = The Queendom of Ravenclaw Also a queendom, Ravenclaw is the academic portion of the Four Corners. All members can read and write, though they spend more time collecting literature and learning from it then they do enjoying what they read. Perhaps Lady Hermione can help them there...
