Hermione just stood there, hardly believing what she was hearing. How the hell did they know who she really was? How did they find out she was Princess Hermione Geneva, Heir to the throne of Wizarding England? She thought that secret was well kept until the time it was deemed safe to tell.
"How did you know that? Who told you?" asked Hermione, sinking back into her chair in shock. "I thought no-one knew about that except my family?"
"I knew about you since the day you were born, Your Highness. Professor Snape only knew 2 years ago when we found out about the marriage law." Said Dumbledore. "However there is the problem of receiving petitions regarding the law. We have intelligence that Lucius Malfoy is planning to petition you for his son, Draco Malfoy in marriage and we want to stop that from happening."
"Draco? Wants to marry me? Well, he'll have a hard time doing that, I can tell you!" Hermione laughed.
"Why's that?"
"Why, he's gay and already married! To Harry Potter." Hermione was creasing by now, holding her sides as she laughed. Dumbledore and Snape both looked at each other in shock and surprise.
"Harry Potter's gay? When and how?" Snape spluttered, "For all we knew, he was straight by the way he and Weasley were chasing the girls around Hogwarts! When did he and Draco get married?"
"3 weeks ago and I was there. It was a beautiful wedding. His mother knew about it and gave her full support. Draco also knew about my heritage as well and kept my secret. Never told anyone." Explained Hermione. "Now, my family says I have to marry a wizard chosen by the mother of the Princess by my 18th Birthday or I will not inherit the throne. As it appears, my mother is here to explain. Mum!"
Hermione's mum, Rachel, the Queen of Wizarding England, came into the room and everyone stood.
"It's ok, please sit back down." The Queen says as she hugged her only daughter. As everyone sat down, the Queen resumed standing. "Now has Hermione explained what she had to do on her 18th birthday? Yes? Good. Well, I have chosen a suitable husband for her, Hermione does know him very well and has approved."
The Queen looked at Professor Snape.
"Professor Snape, it is you I have chosen to marry my daughter on her 18th birthday."
Wow oh wow! Hermione has chosen Professor Snape! What will he say? Find out in the next chapter!
