Chapter 3: Shouts of 'Majesty!'

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting opposite Dobby, George, Fred and Luna Lovegood in the taxi as it drove from picking up Harry at Privet Drive to Grimmuald Place. Harry sat dejected, staring out the window at the rain while everyone in the car were doing their best to dispel the tension in the air. Dobby had been sent with Fred and George to collect their brother and friends and Luna needed a lift as her father was busy with The Quibbler. "Oh! We have royalty staying with us at Grimmuald." Fred told them in an attempt to draw everyone's attention from being miserable.

"Royalty?" Hermione asked as even Harry's head turned to face the twins. Dobby had been sent from Hogwarts, so even he didn't know what was happening at Grimmuald Place.

"Yep! Apparently a girl named Sarah turns up injured with a House Elf Dumbledore sent off earlier after saving her from a mob of barmy muggles. She was pretty banged up so we put her upstairs. All the while Solleret, the House Elf she saved, kept calling her 'Ladyship' and stuff. Then we were told by a little fox bloke on a dog, some King was visiting her. Dumbledore went up and we were sent to get you guys."

"'A little fox bloke on a dog'? Have you been at dads stash of fire whisky?" Ron laughed.

Dobby stood up on the seat, quivering in fear in his tea cosy. "Lady Sarah? His Highness?"

"We don't know if he's still there now, or anything. No need to worry, Dumbledore said nothing was going to happen." George reassured Dobby airily.

"You are right. His Majesty will not do anything brash as long as Lady Sarah is recuperating." Sir Didymus had appeared sitting on Fred's lap while a small blond figure had appeared sleeping on Luna's lap, leaning against the shut door and wrapped up in a largish dark travelling cloak.

"Greetings, Sir Didymus. Everyone, this is Sir Didymus." George introduced, patting the fox's head to distract him from noticing the odd looks everyone in the compartment was giving him. "So? Who's our new friend?"

"Ah, This is Lord Tobias Williams, Brother of the Lady Sarah, Prince of the Underground and next in line for the throne." The little knight said proudly as Toby stirred.

Hermione choked "The Underground! You mean where Goblins come from, one of the only lands made entirely out of magic and are ruled by the Sidhe, a race so magical that they can create entire worlds with a single thought, that Underground?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid my lord has not yet accustomed to travelling by magic and has passed out." The knight's tail waved a little in worry but Toby's green and brown mismatched eyes soon fluttered open, to find himself on some odd girls lap and jumped on to be hugged by an even odder, eye smarting, goblin-like creature to the shouts of "Desist!" from Sir Didymus.

"Majesty!" Dobby's ears flapped in excitement.

"Um… hi, hello. What are we doing here, Sir Didymus? I thought we were going to see Sarah?"

The fox's tail wavered a bit in embarrassment. "There are too many spells on the house. When his Majesty sent me to you, he used enough magic to work through the layers of spells. Unfortunately I have not enough power to move both of us through the protective barriers and you, my Lord, didn't know enough about the area to bring us there yourself."

"Oh?" Toby flicked his wrist and studied the crystal he had materialized.

"I merely homed in on Sir Forge and Sir Gred's magical energies, when I saw that they were moving towards our final destination, and brought us here."

Toby looked around, he seemed to be in a cab with weird people in robes staring at him. "Have I grown an extra head or something?" He finally asked, breaking the spell of shock as he flicked his wrist again, making the crystal disappear.

"Not at all! We're just not use to guests dropping out of thin air." The nearest of the twins pointed out with a laugh. "We were just making introductions. I'm Fred Weasley and this is my clone George."

"Hello." His twin waved with a grin and Toby couldn't help waving back with a smile.

"That nimrod, opposite my hansom self, is our dorky younger brother, Ron."

"Oi!" Ron shouted angrily at his brother. Toby chuckled, immediately liking the new people.

"The gorgeous example of womanly wisdom next to the dork is Hermione Granger."

"Oh, stop." Hermione faked blushing and waved the compliment away, while Ron looked like he was going to kill someone.

"That pillar of testosterone induced strength, speed and agility and who is, unfortunately, also Ron's best friend, poor unlucky lad, is Harry Potter."

"Umm… Hi." Harry blushed slightly at the twins praise.

"Hello." Toby answered back with a laugh, making Harry finally smile.

"The freaky female who's lap you are currently occupying, is the lovely miss Luna Lovegood."

"Oh, sorry." Toby moved to get off and sat between her and Fred while George had moved over to the space Dobby had left.

"Don't worry." Was all Luna said as she gave him an unblinking and analysing stare.

"And the colourful limpet wannabe clutching your person, is the House Elf Dobby."

"Dobby is glad to see his Majesty!" Dobby's ears still continued to flap.

"Er… thank you, Dobby. But I really do think I need to breath." Toby chuckled, everyone smiled at Dobby's enthusiasm but Sir Didymus, who was a little worried for his young charge.

"Oh! Begging you pardon, my Lord! Please forgive Dobby! Dobby was bad!" Dobby then began to panic and bang his head against the car door but Harry, Toby, Ron and Luna stopped him.

"No, it's alright, really! I get it a lot back home, really!" Toby said, bringing the elf onto his lap and rubbing his sore head better.

"Home? You mean you live in the Underground?" Hermione asked, fascinated.

"Not really. I live with my Mum, Dad and Sarah, Aboveground. She goes off to University and my parents work everyday until late, so I'm pretty much left alone a lot when I'm not in school. That's when I sneak off to the Underground and work on my magic with Jareth, the King. Don't tell Sarah, will you? She'll have a screaming blue tizzy if she found out."

"I suspect as much." Luna said in her dreamy voice, attracting everyone's attention. "I have heard of what happened between his Highness and Sarah Williams. But because it happened so many years ago, Dad wouldn't put it in the paper."

"What happened?" Ron asked, anger at his brothers forgotten.

"You were taken away." Luna prompted Toby.

"Not really. The rules say that you have to be banished, or wished away, in order to be taken. So, Sarah 'accidentally' wished me away." Toby shrugged.

"How can you be 'accidentally' banished?" Harry wondered. 'If it was that simple, why couldn't we do it to Voldemort?'

"Well, first you have to have Jareth's attention. At the time, he had a crush on her so he watched her a bit, not to sound pervy. Then you have to say special words in the right way. Dramatic like. Then Jareth would come and say he'll turn the baby into a Goblin unless you run the Labyrinth in less than thirteen hours or you could give up altogether and he'll wipe your memory, and everyone else's, of the baby your banishing. If you win against the Labyrinth you can have any one wish granted by Jareth, which Sarah never claimed, and take the baby back home."

"Wait, 'a baby'? You were a baby!" Hermione asked, shocked that someone would banish their little brother.

"Everyone's a baby at one point in time." Toby said patiently. "If it's any conciliation, I was a pretty loud and fussy child. Mum was going out a lot so I was left with Sarah loads of times. She fed me, changed my diapers, picked me up from day-care, bathed me and everything. She was a better mom than Mom. So after coming home from a school you hate to have a screaming child dumped on you as soon as you walk through the door, can you blame her?"

"Okay. So what happens if you lose against the Labyrinth?" Hermione continued the interrogation.

"Well if you are still alive, which is unlikely, and Jareth's in a good mood or if you ran it pretty well, which is most of the time, he'll let you keep the baby, wipe both your memories of anything happening and send you home. If he's in a bad mood or you didn't even try, he gives the baby to some Elf parents or something, wipe everyone's memory and sends you home clueless." Toby scratched the back of his head in thought. "No one's succeeded against Jareth and the Labyrinth, ever. That's why I'm the heir to the throne. Sarah's the only one smart enough to get through to the Goblin City and I'm the only human child to ever be taken home with my memories sill intact. I can remember every second in the Goblin Castle, which is amazing as I was just over a year old." Toby noticed that everyone's eyes, save Sir Didymus's, flicked to Harry for a second and he went over what he said in his mind.

"Wow, Tobias." Fred said as he clapped Toby over the shoulder, breaking the regained tension. "Sucks to be you."

Everyone laughed as Toby pulled a face at Fred. "Come on! Only my Mum calls me Tobias! Just call me Toby." He scolded. "And Sarah's only, what? Twenty - Twenty two, or something. I'm not that old! I turned Eight last week."

"And you're the heir of an entire magical kingdom?" Ron asked, leaning forward to have a better look at Toby.

"Yeah. Weird, eh?" Toby laughed nervously. "Okay, my turn to ask questions. Why are you all wearing dresses?"

"Robes, sire." The forgotten Sir Didymus corrected his liege as Fred and George snorted.

"We know Ronnikins is a bit of a girl, but…" George started before Ron interrupted.

"Shut it!"

"Sorry. I was trying to think of the word, but the closest I got was dresses." Toby smiled.

"Never mind." Harry laughed. "I had a bit of trouble adjusting as well."

"Robes are the standard fashion for Wizards and Witches in Britain." Hermione started to reel off.

"I'm in England? And your all Wizards and Witches? Cool."

"My Lord? We are approaching your sister's accommodation." Sir Didyumus said as he bounded over George's lap to look out the window. The cab gave a jolt as it stopped and the little knight had to grab onto George in order to stay up.

Dobby snapped his fingers and disappeared into the house as everyone got out of the Taxi and Fred gave the man the correct amount of money due, with Harry's help. The taxi man barely noticed that he had one passenger more than he had picked up but, with the strange boy trying to give him the correct amount of money, he dismissed it and drove away swearing not to eat anymore sandwiches bought from garages.

When Toby had stood up, everyone could see what outfit he was wearing. With knee high riding boots, grey hose, and a dark green tunic over a white flowing poets shirt he looked every inch a prince as he hoisted an unnoticed dark brown leather bag over his shoulder, waiting for his new friends to get there stuff out of the trunk.

"We'd normally have owl's with us," Hermione told him as he followed everyone along the houses. "but we've sent them ahead with Ron's little sister, Ginny, by Floo powder. It's another magical way of getting around by fireplace, it's a bit like a phone mixed with e-mail only you can also use it to go places." Toby nodded as a large house seemed to push it's way between two others as they drew closer, he could see the white/silver magic field surrounding the residence and winced slightly as he passed through the magical shielding.

"This is it." Ron said as he knocked on the door.

The door flew open and Ron was engulfed by the bosom of a large woman who seemed to want to get rid of all the air in his lungs.

"Ron!" Mrs Weasley greeted everyone and Toby introduced himself as she finally got off him and let everyone troop into the house. "So? What was it like at the Grangers?" She asked Ron who's face then became redder than normal.

"Mum!" He gasped as everyone did their best to hide their laughter.

"Was there something you wanted to tell us, Ron?" Harry joked.

"Oh, how time flies! Our Ronnikins is all grown up! It seems like only last week he was yelling for new toilet paper while he was on the bog… No, wait. that was last week!" The twins whooped at their brothers expense. Ron went bright red and jumped on them. Toby laughed with everyone else as Mrs Weasley tried to separate them.

As they walked down the entrance corridor, Toby noticed a large black square shaped burn on the wall and asked about it.

"Oh? Well their use to be a big painting there that screamed at anyone who came in. Looks like someone's found a way to get it down, it was enchanted to stay up." Harry said.

"Looks like it was fried off." Toby observed as he walked with Harry into the kitchen.

"Majesty!"

"Majesty!"

"Majesty!" Three blurs of House Elf flesh went flying into Toby, knocking him on his butt.

"Hi, guys." He said wearily.

"Oh no! We've hurt his Majesty!" The elves quickly got off and looked around for something to smash their faces into.

"No, its okay! It's okay! I have to get use to it and at least you aren't wearing armour like the Goblins back home. Then it really hurts."

The House Elves eyes watered as they glomphed him again and sung his praise.

"Looks like we have a new guest." Dumbeldore said as he stood from the kitchen table to help Toby off the floor.

"Hi. I'm Toby, Sarah's brother." Toby said to the new group of adults in the kitchen.

(Well, that's it finished, now for some shout outs!)
