A little bit Royal
Chapter 2 the arrival
When the three women were all packed the luggage containing the new wardrobes fit for a princess and her ladies-in-waiting, picked up by palace servants in this case House Elves would pick up the luggage in about an hour right before they left for the Apparationport. Brianna grinned thinking about the Duke of Norton. Sirius Black. She had a crush on him at Hogwarts. Wizards Alive was that only 5 years ago? She thought. Only he didn't know that. Back then he was just one of the four famous Maurders The troublemakers of Bree's Year. They were James Potter, the ring leader, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Petigrew. While Bree was just a Ravenclaw like Catie but Lily and the Maurders were Gryffindors. They only had Transfiguration and Charms together. Sometimes Bree had Runes with James when he was there that is. Other than that she only saw them at Quidditch Games. Usually when James, Bree and Catie were playing againist each other (Bree and Catie were Chasers, James a seeker). She sighed.
"Oh Merlin Catie, she's thinking about seeing Sirius again. Prince James lock up Bree when we get there and throw away the Keys shes out for blood this time and she isn't going to stop." Lily said smirking at Brianna. Lily jumped out of the way when Bree tried to swat her. Catie laughed.
"You, know Bree she's right you did have a huge crush on the DON."
"D-O-N? What's that?" Lily asked looking confused. Brianna did too.
DON the Duke of Norton. DOM Duke of Merona. Gee Lily Rae get it right."
"So let me Guess Prince James is POC?" Brianna asked grinning.
"You bet your broomsticks. Just dont tell him that. I doubt he would like that." Caitlin said as they walked walked into the apparationport. The girls were laughing
"Say Catie if I had a such a crush on Sirius Black... What was it you had for Remus Lupin... or James Potter? Hmm?" Bree shot back at Caitlin. Catie blushed.
"James was just a minor crush but Remus however was a different story you know that I dated him back in 6th year. He broke my heart so when I see him and talk to him he's going to get what's coming to him. A LARGE piece of my mind!" Catie said as their Disappartion time was anounced.
"THE 1:00 DiSAPPARTORS TO CALIANA WiLL BE LEAVING IN 90 SECONDS I REPEAT THE 1:00 TO CALIANA WiLL BE LEAViNG IN 60 MiNUTES!"
"Oh Shit! We better run Lily or we will miss it." Catie said as the women ran to the disapparation point. They made it just in time.
"Caliana Here WE COME!" Lily said as the controller counted down the seconds. When the Controller said One the group going to Caliana disapperated.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Incoming Appartions from London, England will be arriving in 16 minutes!" the voice said above Prince James and his group.
"Well Your Highness we will meet the winner from A Little Taste of Royalty in a few minutes I wonder who it is." Sirius said as they waited wth a sign Sirius made that read "oy dingbats from A Little Taste of Royalty Over here." only the winner and her guests would be able to read it. Prince James had made Sirius charm it so other people walking by saw "Winner From A Little Taste of Royalty over here." To muggles it just said the winner's name. Since the three men were wizards and the winner was a witch they didn't know who the winner was.
"The 1:00 Apparation from London, England has just arrived Your Highness. And Padfoot Put that stupid sign away! Do you want our guests to think we don't want them here?" Remus said coming up behind James and Sirius.
"Well I don't know about you two but I don't. Remus I know you know what you are doing but I think that this is the dumbest thing you have done... Welcome to Caliana. You must be the winners from A Little Taste of Royalty. You know who I am and my comapions are well happy you are here as much as I am. Your things arrived before you and are in your rooms in the Palace. Shall we?" The Prince said with a fake smile offering his arm to one of the ladies. Catie took the arm ignoring the look on Remus's face when he realized who they were. However he took Brianna's and Sirius took Lily's. Remus looked at Brianna.
"Bree? Brianna Berns? is it really you? What has it been? 10 years? What are you up to these days?
" Yes my name is Brianna Berns, Your Grace. It has only been 5 years since we have gradutatted, Remus. Here is my card." She handed Remus a business card that read:
Brianna E. Berns
Head of the Department of Magical Education
Head of the Magical School Boards of Europe
Head of Brittish School Boards
She continued. "Lily is a Career Consultant for Hogwarts and..." she didnt continue.
"And Catie?" Remus asked. She sighed.
"Catie is a Healer at St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injures. I want to warn you to stay out of her way because shes out to make your life a living hell after you dumped her in 6th year. But you didn't hear it from me right, Your Grace?" she said smiling up at him. he laughed.
"Call me Remus please Bree... I can call you that right?"
"Sure. You can call me Bumbling Bree if you like. I don't give a rat's apple" Remus looked confused. "Snape and his cronies called me that." she shivered.
"I think I will stick to Bree. So the head of the Education Boards. Wow and to think I thought you would become a teacher at Hogwarts. You sometimes teach don't you?"
"Oh I teach just not in the school. I'm a Tutor. how about you?"
"I am doing great... Oh we're here. Bree Welcome to the Palace of Caliana. I'll let you get settled we can talk later tonight there is a small party you welcome our guests. when I say small I mean large half of the country is coming, I mean the half that could get tickets. the last Ball the whole country is invited so we are bound to be mobbed, killed or even lost, you will save me a dance tonight wont you Bree?' he said with a wink she smiled.
"Sure Your Grace." she said with a wink heading up the staircase pulled by a House Elf. The elf and Brianna disapeared.
"Do you know who they are Moony? The girl I was with is Lily Evans and James was escorting Caitlin Mackenzie... say didnt you date Caitlin at school?" Sirius said coming up behind Remus and backing away when Remus gave him his famous Back your Ass off look. "Who did you have? She was H-O-T!" Remus chuckled.
"Brianna E. Berns."
"Who?"
"Bumbling Bree or thats what Snape and his Gang called her."
"No shit. Bumbling Bree? Damn! I dont believe it. Really?"
"Sirius Black!" an older woman came into the room right as he said Bree's nickname she had in school.
"Your Majesty we didnt know you were here!" Remus and Sirius bowed as Sunniva Potter the dowager Queen of Caliana strode into the room.
"I am Well aware of that. Have the guests arrived?"
"Yes, majesty they have. Here is one of them now." Sirius said as Caitlin walked down the stairs, apparently looking around the palace.
"My dear welcome to Caliana. I am Queen Sunniva but you can call me Sunni."
"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to be here. I am Caitlin Mackenzie you can call me Cate if you like." Catie said as she curtsied to the Queen.
"You are the one who entered Lily Evans into the contest am I right?" Sunni asked.
"No Madam Brianna did. Lily, Brianna, and I have been friends since we met on the train the first day of school."
"Come Cate we can continue this conversation in my drawing room. Those two look really uncomfortable." the Queen looked at the two Dukes that were her son's best friends. Catie laughed.
"Good they would deserve it. do you want me to tell you what the Prince and they did at school? It will take hours." The dukes started to speak but the queen and Caitlin already left the room.
"Oh Shit Catie is going to spill everything. Including what I did to her."
"I doubt that she just will tell Sunni what we did as kids...Oh Shit!" Sirius and Remus ran until they bumped into James.
"What the hell is going on guys?"
"James look out Catie is at this moment telling your mother what we did at school." Sirius said as James went pale.
"No way in hell am I going to let her do that come on lets stop it." the men walked very fast to the Queen's drawing room. Catie was speaking.
"...James helped Bree and me up off the floor and Sirius was helping Lily up. Remus was pointing his wand at Severus threating to hex off the only way for Snape to have kids. They were our lifesavers. I never forgot that time. Oh look its our 7th year heros all of them." Caitlin got up and in turn hugged the men who were speechless.
"Wha- what the hell?" James said frowning when he got his hug.
"James where are your manners. Miss Mackenzie was just telling me about the time when you and those two dingle heads saved her life as well as her friends." The Queen said frowning at her son.
"Well I never got to say thank you since it was on the train home after we Graduated. So I will say it now. Thanks guys from the bottom of my heart. If you will excuse me Your Majesty, Your Highness, and Your Graces, I'm tired so I think I will go take a nap." Caitlin said curtsying and left the room.
"Well I will be Damned. I thought that she would tell all sorts of other stuff." James said staring at Caitlin's back.
"Like what James?" his mother asked looking at him.
"Oh nothing mother. Come on guys lets go." The men left the queen smiling when Rowan the resigned King came into the room.
"There you are my little Sunshine. Are our guests here?"
"Yes dear they are and i think that Remus is still in love with one of them."
