Chapter 10: An owl in a frozen Storybrooke

The return trip was long for Regina and Emma who were returning to the city. Arriving finally at Storybrooke, Emma as Regina found Henry. Despite Regina's love for Robin and Emma for her parents, the two women were very much connected to this young boy. He had so many questions, but he knew he should wait. It had been a long way from England between the plane and the car. He would be patient, but would have those answers, it was something he was sure of.

While Henry was spending some time with David, Emma took the time to tell her mother what happened. Regina, meanwhile, founds Robin in the woods, always with Roland and Little Jean. The first thing Robin wanted to know was how the meeting went. He wanted to make sure everything had gone perfectly and he was heard listening to these famous reunions. He had often seen Regina with a smile, especially since the two of them had gotten together, but now she had a bright one.

"I imagine she will come soon to see us, isn't she?"

"That's it, I suggested to her to come during the Christmas holidays. That way, we will have a real Christmas with all the family."

"Excellent idea, my Queen."

"Daddy! Who will come for Christmas?" Exclaimed Roland, who had heard only a few snatches.

Robin looked at Regina then, her eyes almost asking for some permission, but the heart of the old Evil queen had only one desire: to enjoy her family, all her family. Robin and Roland were also part of it. She took Roland on her knees before answering him.

"Your big sister. She will join us so that we are all together!"

The little boy became animated by the simple idea of having a big sister. All this remained new to him. He had very well accepted Regina's presence in his life as well as Henry's. He had always had a big family with his father's companions, but he was always happy to see some more female presences.

On the other side of the city, a blonde young woman was walking on the sidewalk. Frightened and confused, it is Elsa on the verge of a nervous breakdown looking for her sister meanwhile freezing everything on her way. It was quickly spotted by the residents of Storybrooke and Regina and Emma were forced to face an ice giant that Elsa created. The wall of ice around the city was also spotted, again Storybrooke was isolated from the rest of the world.

Requiring the return of her sister, Elsa put Emma in danger, leaving her on the verge of hypothermia. It was thanks to David's benevolent heart-saving combination of Anna and Regina's magic that the two women came out of this ice prison. The threat seemed to be dismissed when, unfortunately, Elsa was not the only threat to this city. The wall remained intact despite all their attempts.

However, it was necessary to wait for more clues to really work to counter the threat. Regina took the opportunity to spend some time with Henry. Again the questions flared, but his mother was not able to answer them. She herself had not really had time to chat with Hermione to get into such details.

"But you think she will accept to answer all my questions? I know that sometimes it can be tiring."

"I think she will have as many questions for you as you for her, you know."

The young man could only smile at her.

At Hogwarts, our young Gryffindor was busy looking for a parchment and pen to write to Regina, her mother. She had to put that word in her mind. Granted, that word was common to her, but not associated with Regina, not associated with someone who really seemed to care about her. It would be complicated, but she would do it. She wrote her letter and asked Harry for permission to "borrow" Hedwig to send her mail to Storybrooke. She let her letter fly in mid-air, already looking forward to an answer.

She was more than astonished when she saw an owl arriving in her town. Noting the letter held by the latter, she recovered and gave some water to the animal, not knowing what else to give it. The owl was there, waiting for a return to bring and that Regina had understood. She opened the letter and was delighted to know that Hermione had not forgotten it.

Dear Regina,

I hope to not disturb you by sending you this letter. I wanted you to know that I'm thinking a lot about you right now and that, even for me, school hours do not go fast enough. I know you want to know more about my world so I wanted to talk to you about the last events of my life. At Hogwarts, the Triwizard Tournament has just started and Harry has been chosen with another one from our school. Normally this is only one participant per school so even if it is impossible, we will have two champions who will represent us.

You have to wonder what I'm talking about, school side and tournaments. I'll tell you more about that, when I see you in front, but let's say it's a competition between schools. There we have Hogwarts in front of Dumstrang, the school of Bulgaria and Beauxbâtons, the school of France. This tournament consists of three more dangerous events than one another and I'm really scared for Harry's life. We believe that this is not the year it will be calm!

I hope for you that is going well in Storybrooke. In view of what you told me about your life, even if I had only a brief summary, it has already been quite eventful. I'm eager to see you again and discover the world around you.

Hermione, your daughter.

A tear ran down Regina's cheek as she read Hermione's signature. She hastened to take some of her answers so as not to make her wait.
