Hey, everyone! Sorry it's shorter than the previous chapter!
Enjoy :)
Chapter 2
It looked like everyone was getting ready for some sort of celebration. There were decorations everywhere and servants were rushing to and fro in an attempt to be on time.
"Its a celebration of the purge" Merlin said grimly.
"Just because you don't want to go, Merlin," Arthur started, but Rose interrupted.
"The purge?" That didn't sound good!
The purge is how the King has rid our kingdom of magic, for the better." Arthur said proudly.
Merlin rolled his eyes, making Rose laugh softly.
They had come to the great hall where they would meet with Uther, King of Camelot.
"And what brings you to our kingdom, Lord Scorpius and Lady Rose? And where are you from" Uther asked.
"Sire, we were lost in the forest and came across Merlin here. He offered to escort us back to Camelot, for we have never been to this wondrous kingdom. It is an honour to meet you, and see your great kingdom." Scorpius said bowing his head. Rose inwardly grinned - he was laying it on a bit thick, but everyone seemed to be buying their excuse.
"We are from a small village about a weeks ride away from here. People from my village often keep to themselves and as a result not many people know where our village is situated." Rose informed everybody, hoping they bought that as well.
"You are just in time, you can celebrate with us." Uther gestured wildly at everything that was going on around them.
"We would be delighted" Rose said, curtseying, whilst Scorpius bowed.
"Merlin, please take our guests to a room." Arthur said. Merlin, Rose and Scorpius all trailed out, whilst Arthur talked some more to his father. Merlin lead them to a room, and then winced when the noticed it was a single bed.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything about the bed." He grimaced.
"We'll manage won't we Scorp?" Rose said brightly, trying to ignore the fact that her face as well as Scorpius', was bright red. Merlin grinned.
"Come on then, I'll take you to meet Gaius."
…ooOoo…
They walked into the physician's room. There were pots and bottles filling every available space, as well as several potions bubbling away. Rose grinned - potions was her favourite subject. The physician looked up at the sound of the door opening and closing.
"Are you going to introduce us, Merlin?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Let me," Rose said, stepping forward. "Hi, I'm Rose, this is Scorpius. We are from the future - the year 2022 to be precise. Um, we managed to .. somehow .. disapperate from our school, and appear here - though I don't know anything about time travel magic..." she finished thoughtfully. Meanwhile, Gaius' mouth had opened.
"Sorry," Scorpius grinned, knowing that whilst Rose was thinking he should explain exactly what happened. "We are pupils at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We are both in 5th year, and, not trying to sound up ourselves or anything, are both top of our year. Which reminds me, we need to get back, cos its our OWL year - our important exams - and we need to get back in time to actually take the exam... In our time Camelot, and everything surrounding it is a great legend. Merlin is the greatest wizard of all time, and together, he and Arthur bring magic back to the country. Oh, and disapperate means to disappear from one place, and appear in another - but we've never actually done it, so I can't demonstrate. One more thing, Merlin is the greatest wizard of all time because he can do wandless magic, although, I think he was the one who designed wands. In our day, all people of magic use wands because it is an easier way of channeling our magic. Not many people can do wandless magic anymore, although I think Rose's uncle can.. Do you have any questions?" he directed his final question at both Merlin and Gaius, who were both staring at him and Rose with their mouths open.
Rose was still muttering about time turners, and time magic, so Scorpius shrugged and looked back at the two.
…ooOoo…
I don't know if I got the year right? But if I haven't please do correct me :)
