CHAPTER 2

"Elli Anna darling, how are we getting to the castle?" King Stephan asked.

"We're going to apparate into they're courtyard and ride some carriages they set out for us." Lady Anna said, smiling at her husband.

"I don't know why you think this'll work!" James said, stomping into the living room, of the castle.

"What do you mean?" King Stephan said, arching an eyebrow at his eldest and only child.

"Most arranged marriages never work!" James said, throwing his hands in the air.

"Oh, please James! You're being childish!" Lady Anna said. "Your father and I worked out just fine."

"At least you liked him!" James said.

"If only you knew." King Stephan mumbled.

"Are you ready Lily?" Lady Brigitta asked.

"No." Lily said, as Brigitta opened her chamber door.

"Why not, you're dressed and everything." Lady Brigitta asked worriedly.

"Mama, if you don't have an army and a rifle in hand, you're never ready for James Potter!" Lily said, smiling a little.

"Very funny, darling!" Lady Brigitta said, sardonically.

"How long did it take you and papa to love each other?" Lily asked, out of the blue.

"Not that long sweetheart, why?" Lady Brigitta asked, approaching her daughter.

"What if James and I never stop bickering?" Lily asked.

"You will, one day." Lady Brigitta said, her eyes wistful and dreamy.

"No need for memory lane today, Brigitta!" King Nicholas said, poking his head into her room.

"Why does everyone feel like teasing me today?" Lady Brigitta asked, good- naturedly.

"Because you're tease able." King Nicholas said, kissing his wife's cheek.

"You're so funny, I forgot to laugh!" Brigitta said sarcastically.

"Ugh! PDA, not now please." Lily laughed along with the King and Queen.

"Is everything ready Stephan? James?" Lady Anna asked, getting ready to apparate.

"Yes dear." King Stephan said marching out of the castle.

"Where's James?" Lady Anna said, squinting.

"Here mother." James said holding something behind him.

"James, is that purple dye?" King Stephan asked as James walked before him.

Lady Anna arched an eyebrow. "James?"

"Mother, I'm not that childish! I'm not holding purple dye." James told his parents, mock disbelief plastered on his face.

"Tell the truth James!" Lady Anna said, forcefully.

"Its not purple dye!" James insisted. Lady Anna had that rare look on her face, which was reserved only for James when he did something severely wrong.

"James!"

"Its blue dye." James said, a goofy grin pasted on his face.

"James I swear!" Lady Anna said, grabbing the dye from behind him. "You're 17. When will you grow up?"

"Lighten up Elli Anna darling." King Stephan chuckled. "It was only a joke."

Now Lady Anna shot that look at King Stephan, which made him shut up instantly. "Sorry dear." He said meekly.

"Now I know why Brigitta had 2 girls instead of boys!" Anna said, throwing her hands in the air. "Joseph!" Anna called. Immediately, a man with a balding head, in a butler's uniform came out.

"You called, madam?" Joseph asked.

"Yes. Joseph, dispose of this please?" Anna said, giving him the bottle of dye.

"Mother!" James protested.

"Thank you Joseph!" Anna said, as the butler walked away.

"Lets go." King Stephan said, before James had a chance to start bickering with his mother.
