I do not own Harry Potter!
I apologize for it taking so damn long for me to update but college is annoying! In addition, I have total writers block!
Lessons with Erato and Euterpe
The next day Jillyan finally thought that they where calmed down enough to start lessons so as the group of eight sat in the common room of House of Merlin,
"Hello young royalty!" Chimed Jillyan in an annoyingly high voice
"Excuse me but it was nice and quite could you please keep it that way?" Smirked Draco
"Draconias you really should have better manners for your elders." Smirked Severus as he appeared next to his sister
"Hey Sev." Smiled Draco
"Well I'm sure that you guys are really sick of being in this room. I believe that you are getting along well enough to work together. Are you ready to start your training?" Asked Jillyan with a smirk
"Yes!" Chorused the group
"Very well, may in introduce the muses Erato and Euterpe, muses of lyrics and music? In high society, music is incredible important part of life. Each of you will learn to sing." Smirked Jillyan
"Have any of you had previous lessons?" Asked Euterpe
Hermione, Pansy, and Susan raised their hands
"Excellent, how many of you have heard of Phantom of the Opera?" Asked Euterpe taking a seat across from the students
"I have madam." Stated Hermione being the only muggleborn
"Very well come here I wish for you to sing this act." Stated the muse as Erato handed Hermione the lyrics
A soft piano filled the room and Hermione started to sing,
"Think
of me
thinks of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember
me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you
find that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back and be
free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me
We never
said
our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but
if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .
Think
of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the
things
which might have been . . .
Think of me,
think of me
waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard to
put you
from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all
those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be a day,
when I won't think of you . ."
As Hermione's voice faded out and the music ended the group even the muses stood transfixed
"Was it that awful?" Asked Hermione nervously
"Moine that was amazing!" Exclaimed Draco
"That was beautiful Hermione." Stated Susan
"Ya that was really good Moine!" Praised Harry
"Hermione I do believe that should either muse wish to retire they have my approval of one to replace them." Smiled Jillyan that was some of the best singing she had ever heard.
"Wow, thank you Jillyan." Smiled Hermione with a slight blush
Lessons continued on with Erato and Euterpe for the next week until they where both stratified that the young royalty's voices where up to par to be accepted among the court.
As the last week of September faded into the first week of October, it was time for them to leave.
"Erato, Euterpe it is time for you to say farewell. Each one of you has improved amazingly. To the point where I would be honored if anyone of you would sing at the high court on your coronation day." Smiled Jillyan
"We would be honored." Stated Harry and Pansy in unison
"Thank you. Well then for the next week I introduce Thalia the muse of comedy and Melpomene the muse of tragedy." Smiled Jillyan as the muses came forward
The week was spent with the young royalty learning how to write plays and stories in the areas of comedy and tragedy. Blaise was granted the title of best comedic writer with in the group and Harry was the best tragic writer in the group both where quite please with their new found titles. As the first week of October faded to the second week, Thalia and Melpomene had to leave and Jillyan brought two new muses.
"This is Urania the muse of Astronomy and Clio the muse of history. Both will teach you much. I will return in a weeks time." Stated Jillyan as she vanished from right in front of their eyes.
The girls took astronomy first and the only one to really get into it was Lavender.
Lessons with Clio where much more interesting. Each day she took one of them to learn.
Day 1
"Hello King Harold."
"Muse Clio please call me Harry."
"And you must call me Clio. Now I understand that you have no real knowledge about your kingdom?" Asked Clio
"Nope. Mum and dad just sort of told me who and what I was and left it in your hands." Smiled Harry
"Very well let us begin."
Clio gave each of the four young men a brief history of their kingdoms. She then moved on to explain the system of government and how things worked. And, finally she answered any lingering questions that the boys had. Clio then moved on to work with the girls explaining the same that she had to the boys but also,
"Now I know this wont seems fair but as you are females, when you marry your husband will rule your kingdom." Explained Clio
"Why?" Asked Pansy
"Because that is that way that it has been done for millions of years." Was all Clio offered
"That is so not fair!" Exclaimed Pansy
"Well I know if you were married to me, I would let you rule as my equal." Smirked Harry as the looks on the other faces
Ok sorry but I really don't want to go through all of the lessons, so just pretend they did everything to learn to be royalty
"This is the last day that you will be confined to these rooms. When you leave here you will be the rulers of your people and I will expect the best from you and I will also announce your betrothed." Stated Jillyan
"What about you and Sev?" Asked Draco
"Apollo will be staying on as Potions Master, and I do believe that they are need of a Charms Mistress, after professor Flitwick was called away." Smiled Jillyan with a bounce in her step
"Oh no! We're stuck
with you!" Exclaimed a panicked Harry
"Harold Potter! You
should have more respect for you aunt then that!" Came the voice of
Lilly Potter
"Sorry mum, but have you seen how aunt Jillyan teaches?" Asked Harry shuddering at the thought
"Ya Lils Jillyan can be scary!" Exclaimed James coming to his son's defense
"James! I am not that bad!" Cried Jillyan as she appeared in the room
"Jilly, babe, you are terrifying as a teacher!" Calmly explained James
"Dionysus James Straps de Universe you had better take that back!" Cried Jillyan
"Damn Dio I thought you never made a girl cry." Laughed Severus as he appeared behind his brother and sister
"Go away you big meanie!" Pouted Jillyan the young royals just watching in awe at how the adults were acting.
"Alright now as I said, tomorrow you will enter as royalty strong united and with your mate. King Terrance Armelius Boot of the Wizarding Kingdom, you are betrothed to Queen Susan Amelia Bones of the Lupin Terra. Congratulations. (the two went to stand near each other their promise rings glowing gold and then amber), King Blaise Marcus Zabini king of the mermen, you are engaged to Queen Lavender Gwendolyn Brown of the mermaid kingdom, congratulations. (the two again went to each to each other and their promise rings glowed blue then green.) King Draconais Lucius Malfoy king of the Veela kingdom are engaged to Queen Hermione Anne Granger Sang of the Vampire Kingdom, congratulations. (Draco smirked, and Hermione offered a small smile as they held hands their rings glowing ruby red to silver.) and yes finally King Harold James Potter of the Light Elf Kingdom are engaged to Queen Pansille Anne Parkinson of the Dark Elf Kingdom, congratulations dear." Smiled Jillyan as they clasped hands and glowed black and white
"Now my dear younglings off to bed. I shall see you in the morning when I unseal the doors." Smirked Jillyan as she and Severus disappeared
Snape's Chambers
"So Sevie, when you are you going to announce an engagement?" Teased Jillyan
"Never, if I have any say in it." Grumbled Severus
"Well too bad, you don't. (Sev shook his head) SEV your four thousand years old! You have to get married eventually!" Exclaimed Jillyan in awe that her older brother wouldn't want to be married
"Well what about you? Why aren't you married?" Snapped Severus
Jillyan became very quite and said, " I was in love once. I would have married him too. However, things were not to be and I have not seen him since the summer before you 7th year at Hogwarts."
"What do you mean?" Asked Severus after several minutes
"Summer before 5th year I started staying with James. That year his friend started living with him. We hit it off very well. The Summer before 6th year we started dating though even James didn't know. I loved him so much! But I was only able to see him for a short while during the summer before 7th year. I loved him more then anything. I was willing to give up my position as goddess of wisdom to be with him, but father made sure that I couldn't. I would still give up everything if I thought he would still have me." Sighed Jillyan
"Which friend?" Asked Severus cautiously nervous about the answer
"Sirius Black." Sighed Jillyan
Severus groaned. It just had to be his worst nightmare that his sister would fall in love with. However, looking at his sister's depressed state he realized that he would put up with the mutt in order to have his sister happy. Oh boy would he love to see their reactions when Jillyan was announced as the new Charms Mistress.
I am sooooooo Sorry that this is sorta rushed but I wanted to get to the better stuff! Next chapter should be up soon!
