Virginia sighed as she woke up on Christmas morning, They'd been at the Home for a week so far, and she had just finished meeting with all the ambassadors a day before. She rolled over and Draco pulled her closer to him.

"You know we have to get up in a few moments, according to Charm, Everyone is looking forward to the Christmas breakfast, and the long party, and the ball tonight, It's one of the first Christmas parties in years and years, apparently when you and I controlled the Home parties were regular."

"So in other words, No Draco, we can't stay in bed all day."

"Yep, So get up." Virginia said rolling out of the bed, apparently both her and Draco's maids had came in and seen them as Her cloths were laid out, and his next to hers.

*

Draco sat in the bed watching as she dressed, The long dress that went on under the robe was a black silk, Over that went a crimson corset, and then over that, in the billowing huge look went emerald robes with silver threads inserted so often. He watched as she carefully put her hair into a small bun and then let it fall to the middle of her back. He watched as she also slowly, with wandless magic wove silver ribbon through her hair. She was beautiful, and that he couldn't imagine his world without her was amazing to him. For the last few days he'd slept entwined with her, as she'd slept softly. He'd woke with her when she'd had her nightly nightmare and he'd held her softly to him till the thin shivers that racked her thin frame. She was done dressing now and applying a bit of makeup. He jumped up and hurriedly threw on his own robes and tied his hair at his nape. She was just finishing slipping her feet into a comfortable pair of slippers. Draco smiled as he took her arm.

*~*~* Charm's room*~*~*

Charm rolled over into Blaise and felt his arms lightly squeeze her. "No no, to early." She murmured.

"Yes it is but, it's time to get up Christmas Breakfast, deal with ambassadors and such. Come on, We need to get up and be there to greet Draco and Virginia." Blaise said. Charm let out a strained sigh and got up. Together they quickly dressed.

"Come on, I bet you Draco and Virginia haven't even got out of bed yet.. He's probably giving her a Christmas morning romp." Blaise said a devil may care look on his face causing Charm to toss him a dirty look. He loved her, was the only thought that occurred to him before he tossed his arm about her waist and pulled her threw the door to go harass Draco if they weren't in their sitting room waiting to go to breakfast.

~*~*~*Carolina's empty, all alone girl room~*~*~*

Carolina sighed as she awoke and dressed. Knowing that she was here and was the only one alone, It sort of sucked when you realized that in two of her friends rooms were empty, as they were in their loves rooms. She slowly Dressed carefully and tiredly.

*~*~*The Burrow *~*~*

Harry Slowly penned the letter to Virginia and then the second he'd stressed over for the last five hours. He looked at Errol and Pig who sat together The small pile of presents, from Ginny's brothers to her sat between them. He didn't give himself time to think just tossed both letters on top of the presents. Pig and Errol took off immediately.

~*~*~*Antoinette~*~*~*

Antoinette looked at the two owls and slowly removed the presents. Virginia's family had sent. Draco, Blaise, and Carolina had also received a small pile of presents, and nothing any of them received compared to all the gifts ambassadors had been handing her all week. She sighed it was all sent, through a transfer spell, to their parlor where after the breakfast they would go sit and make their way through the large stack of presents, thank you cards would have to be sent to the noted ambassadors and inventory would be taken of the presents sent by ambassadors. Then finally at sunset a large feast would take place. Virginia would say a mass thank you to the ambassadors and staff of the home and then leave them with a few final thoughts, this of course had been explained to Virginia who already had made a few notes on What to say. She looked at the clock and did her final transfer spell before leaving the room and heading to the Breakfast.

*After the Breakfast Fest*

Virginia sat in a large chair staring at the piles upon piles of presents, and the large pile of notes, and cards. Each one of them had their own pile, and a house elf sat, dressed in robes, with a quill and parchment to make notes on who sent what.

"Here, I got this for you." Virginia said handing each of her friends a gift. They in turn also switched off gifts. Draco slid to Virginia two packages, One a long slim package. And the other another very small slim package. Virginia opened the smallest one first. She was stunned speechless at the beautiful pendant, It was a baby rose bud carved out of a diamond….It was simply amazing, and very apparently worked with magic by one of the best diamond cutters.

"Oh Draco!" Ginny sighed.

"I'm glad you like it… and this watch is grand! Draco said looking at the slim pocket watch it was silver incrusted with emeralds. On the inside was a etched picture of him and Virginia. The watch held moon, sun, and planetary signs, along with star watch, had a muggle looked at it they wouldn't be able to decipher any of it.

Virginia pulled open the large long slim box and palled, It was her sword. The sword she'd found in the war room. She lifted it out of the box, and then the sheath She felt the electricity sliding through her arms….

Charm and Antoinette threw open the doors to the private sitting room. The sword called to them, The sword they'd sent people out to search for, and there in her hands was it. Shining from polish and in all it's glory.

"Dear bloody hell, I've been looking every where for than damn thing" Antoinette said.

"I bought it for her" Draco said. Amused by Virginia's look of pure delight. Charm also looked delighted.

"Well that solves another problem, now all that's left is to bring you all up to skill."

Carolina picked up the small package that had came with Virginia's presents from her brother.

Carolina-

I… I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.. Do us all a favor and watch Ginny for us….. Maybe when you all.. Get back to school we can go to Hogsmede and… you know hangout.. Or something…. Well, uh, have a nice, I mean Merry Christmas.

Fond thoughts,

Harry Potter.

Carolina felt a warmth spread over her and smiled even more when she opened the small gift that had been with it. A pair of teardrop earrings.

*~*~*3 Months later.*~*~*

Charm stood to the side watching Draco and Virginia fight. Swords drawn they were amazing. Ginny light on her feet, and Draco, expertly blocking her shots. Though not taking many of his own. Off to the side Blaise was teasing Carolina unmercifully about her recent pen pal that happened to seal his letters with a lightning bolt seal. They were dueling with wands, and the madder he made Carolina the harder it was for him to block. Antoinette had began training them harder and harder, though Virginia was at a point that all she had to do was raise any form of a weapon and her appoint fell. Draco and her stopped their sword play. He was going to hit the showers, they'd by far surpassed their training time for the day, and the fatigue was Shown well in their bodies.

Virginia waited, sitting next to a quiet Charm for her friends to exit the training room to head to the showers.

"Voldemort has shown no activity because he's been as to now trying to gather his forces, we have done what we must to block this, Pulling groups of the most known to separate from their ambassadors and placing them in new places weekly so that for death eaters will have to work to even find them, and hopefully will make some difference… but soon he's going to make his move. We all know it, we all can feel it. It's like this knot of tension at the bottom of my spine slowly moving up… It's all going to come to a head soon." Virginia said.

"Yes… when so do you think.."

"At the end of the school season, the Death Eaters children will need an initiation, and this the start of the war, would separate the weak from the strong…" Virginia said slowly.

"Wonderfully true. Where do you think it will happen?"

"Hogsmede. I dream of this huge stand off, It's not a run in and bang up. It's taking the whole town hostage and calling out for the order to meet them, it's like this little, look what I've got, and the order arrives, and it looks so pitiful, and then we portkey in and everything changes, It's like this huge mass of people…. I can't really say, but the feeling I receive with it isn't something of dread… It's confidante…" Virginia stood.

"I believe I have a Vampire, and an elite Werewolf to meet tonight. If you will excuse me Charm but I must prepare myself in accordance."

Charm watched as Virginia swept from the room truly the queen. For a month after they'd first arrived the home acted like it was still empty and still under her own rule. She didn't know where it had came from, but one day Virginia had awoke and took such control over the Home that it was shocking. It was like the old reign, Wine, and relaxing dinner parties and fun. It was business yes, but it was like this attitude that everyone understood, relax and what will happen will happen.

*

Virginia sat in her drawing room speaking with a small, ageless woman, and a tall rough looking man, though dressed civilly in cloths. They'd been at it for an hour or so…

"Very well, I will not mind if you bring in a few people that you see a need to talk to, but a forewarning to you both, see to it that those who you allow in these sanctioned walls, are the most civil of your kind… We wish not to have more problems than that which we already have." With that, Virginia stood and left the room.

~*~*~* Hogwarts~*~*~*

Harry Potter sighed sending off another letter to Carolina who assured them all every few days that They all were okay. Virginia wrote once every two weeks short little notes to Ron, but mainly everything came from his letter writing Girlfriend. Ron was nervous almost all the time, And Hermione often had her arms wrapped around him trying to get him to relax. Snape had taken a more relaxing approach to the three of them since his star pupils had left… It was almost like he was truly worried. Remus had joined the school as a guest, and Snape couldn't even seem to find the heart to cut him down..

Snape was the way you realized things might be worse off then they seemed.

*~*~* Virginia's chambers*~*~*

Virginia was sitting at her writing desk, a large goblet of wine sat next to her hand. Her quill was quickly scratching at the parchment. Draco was laid out on their bed asleep in a pair of slacks. A few small candles burned to light the room besides that which came in through the small window. It was Early in the morning, and the Home was quiet except for the quill that sped it's way through the pages of Parchment, and the young girl who sat on a chair flipping through pages of books.

"Samantha, might I ask a favor of you child." Virginia said. She looked towards the highly advanced five year old.

"Of course my Queen, of How might I be of service."

"I'd just like some hot tea and some ginger cookies please." Virginia said to the small girl who had been appointed to her by Charm as her maid.

Immediately the small girl hurried from the room, to appear not even two minutes later with the cookies and the tea.

"Thank you Samantha… You know, why don't you head off to bed… I'm sure you need your sleep…" Before the last word was out of her mouth the girl was gone. Virginia cut her eyes to Draco.

"She's gone you can act alive now."

"Oh don't blame me, Hun, the girls a bit scary… Her eyes are too big or something… They follow me everywhere… she gives me the willies, forgive me for it, but she does. So now what is it that your quills scratching away at?" Draco asked. He slid from the bed to pour two cups of tea and get some ginger cookies.

"It's to the Ministry of Magic, issuing a few stabilities to our government. Charm said she'd see to it if I wrote it out. I'll be done in a few moments…"

"ahh… so what's going on with the ambassadors and stuff… Blaise and I haven't really been attending the meetings and speaking with the ambassadors…"

"Well, you know it's sort of really weird, because the ministry monitors sects of creatures so closely that they all know each other, Every werewolf in England, and Europe know Johan, You know the ambassador for the Werewolves, He's calling forth a few werewolves to come to the castle, as are the vampires and the others so they can brief them to start a forewarning of the war that is coming and of the side they all will be on. So due expect to see some new faces about." Virginia said. Her quill continued forming a pattern in the scratches along the parchment.

"Done!" She announced and set the quill down.

"Good, Lets get to sleep. The way Antoinette has us working… Ugh, my muscles have muscles and they both hurt."

"Well I'll give you a back massage if you try to be nicer to Samantha."

"Deal."

With that the lights in the room went off as Draco pulled Virginia into the bed.

~*~*~*One month Later.~*~*~*

Remus Lupin slowly walked to the court yard of the huge hidden castle. It was amazing, It was beautiful… It was impossible to see Johan living here especially seeing the two tall elves both armed with wands and staffs. He looked at the two men, faces set in strong lines. He'd never been a coward… but as he prepared to walk to the guards he felt a twinge of fear.

"Hello, I fear, I've lost my way a bit. I'm looking for the house of Johan Nelson… Would either of you happen to know of him, I'd do a locating spell but it seems that this property has some form of block on it…" Remus said.

"Your hear to see Johan? Your name would be?"

"Remus Lupin." At his name both men's faces cracked with a smile.

"Hay! Johan told us you'd be arriving. Joe's walking in the Courtyard with the queen.. Though perhaps by now she's tied him down to a chair and is pouring tea down his throat… Here just walk straight down this corridor, there's a wall of windows, the middle one is a door out there, after that it should be easy to find them in the garden.

Remus looked with wonderment at the old stone wall which he passed quickly on his walk. The wall of windows was amazing, and had it not been for a small girl, with peculiarly large eyes that were almost frightening, He would never have found the door.

She had floating around her several trays with tea cups, cookies and sandwiches. She stopped and looked at him.

"How might I help you sir."

"Oh, well I was looking for the door to the courtyard."

She smiled and tapped the middle window which disappeared immediately. "It's a security measure sir, now before I take you further to the courtyard might I inquire as to who you are?"

Remus looked at the small girl almost shocked that she would take on a task of questioning him… "My Name is Remus Lupin I'm here to see-"

"Johan, please follow me." The girl lead him in to the beautiful garden, It was amazing, the plants from everywhere imaginable. A gay laughter flooded his ears where a group of small children played casually about on one of the paths. He froze. It was his instinct. One of the children a vampire, two werewolves, two wizards, and squib children played about, as if nothing separated them.

"Nothing does separate them sir. Here there are no boundaries put up. A child can play with another child. We don not separate them just because of their differences."

"And what about the immortal child, the vampire child. She must have the mind on adult.

"Yes she does, come you will be here for a wile, and in that time you will come to understand that this is the only place where true Harmony exists."

"Like a place where a young mind reader openly uses her talent."

"I was taught to use it sir, never to hold it back, and my talent only works on those new to the home, by tomorrow the queens power will protect you, it's already starting to watch over you with a fierce protection I 'v never really felt before… It's not totally unknown, now then." She became quiet as they reached the clearing.

A table was in the middle. Johan Sat in One chair. He was totally at ease. Next to him sat a woman, tall, with dark red hair and… It was Virginia Weasley! in startling emerald robes, and next to her Draco… and It was all the missing Hogwarts children. All four of them sitting relaxed about the table.

"My queen, court. Lunch is here, and Johan, a Mr. Lupin to see you…"

Both Johan and Virginia stood.

"Remus!" Virginia screamed and headed towards him, her robes billowing about her.

"Virginia! Child your family is up in arms with your leaving!" He said embracing her as she did him.

"I realize, I've tried to assure them as to my health and such, but you know parents, please come join us!" Virginia moved him to a chair before retaking her seat.

"So I am assuming, You don't understand all that much about what's going on here do you professor?" Blaise asked. "Don't worry Virginia, Charm and Carolina are the only ones who really know what's going down." Blaise said offering his hand to the professor.

"That's because we tend to pay attention unlike you both you pain in the.. Ahem So how is Harry Professor?"

"Well he's going. Everyone is, It's like walking on egg shells you know…"

Everyone focused on the tray of sandwiches and cookies, wile the young girl pourd tea.

"It's so good to see you Remus." Virginia said sipping on the tea.

"As it is you, when I leave I'll see to it that I see your parents first of all to assure them of everyone's health."

"Good good…."

The day carried on tiresome for Remus who learned ancient magic believed ledged was in action, to learn the small girl who once caused a sea of turmoil in Hogwarts was bowed down to by the greatest of leaders, and held such power in her hand that it was more than that in his whole body…

They were eating at sunset in the courtyard again the next day. Virginia was made up beautifully in the sunset, Draco sat next to her protective. They all sat sipping the intoxicating wine that slid down their throat like lava, it was amazing. every thing seemed right from the sunset to the chicken salad that was so crisp and cool in your mouth that it battled with the heat of the wine.

All was good. Till the click of racing hills was heard and Antoinette came rushing around the corner of a garden path. She had been running, her hair was in a disarray compared to it's normal sleek perfected look.

"I need to speak to the queen now."
