Walking through the gardens of the Wizarding royal palace, reminded Fraya of her time as Hermione before the young witch had used the Fate turner to take herself and a young man back into the past. The gardens where in full bloom even though outside the palace the weather was cool and nearing the first snow of the year. She could see that the royal family had charmed the area to act as a green house to create a garden for the royal family all year long. At the moment she was glad for the warmth that surrounded her as she walked through the area.
Her elf, Willows had instated on the blue gown she was wearing. The bodice a dark blue, the sleeves a sheer light blue, where the high neck ended a dark blue chocker like clasp that held a pale blue sapphire at the base of her neck. Sliver like vines wrapping from her middle finger up to just above her elbows, the same sliver vines decorating the top of her bodice. The skirt, abraded cascaded down to a pale blue at her feet, an silver belt attached to the same pale blue sheer fabric laid at her dropped waist. She had asked for a simple braid as her dress was such an intercut dress that a braid would be better them something that was more over the top. Willow also provided a silver circlet to finish the look.
Fraya hoped that she didn't stand out as much compared to her Sisters and Mothers dresses. Both Fraya and Hermione had been ladies who liked the simplicity of their clothing. At least in the middle ages ladies wore flats and Heels have yet to be discovered so Fraya's feet would not be hurting by the end of the night. Even though there was a charm to use if the case does arise. As she strolled through, enjoying the quiet. Fraya had found a bench that sat encased by white rose bushes. The roses gleamed in the moonlight of that night. Looking around to make sure that no one was around she sat down.
Once I'm finished out here, I'll return and try to seek out Theo or who Theo maybe in this time. Fraya thought to her self before being startled off her perch.
Turning to her left, Fraya found a large black animal or dog stairing at her. In this time period, the Dire Wolf was still a living animal, where as in the year 1990 the wolf species was extinct. This particular wolf was just stairing at her, watching her. His head would probably set right below her shoulder as his back at her hip. The wolf's bright eyes glowed slightly as he watched.
Fraya sensing no hostility coming from the creature knelt down and held a hand out to it. She figured that this beautiful wolf was owned by a lord attending the ball. She showed him her open palm, to show she meant no harm. The creator she watched looked between her hand and her face, to make sure she was fine with it approaching her. Sure Fraya should be couscous, as Dire Wolves where still wild animals even if they are brought up in a Lords home.
Just as the wolf approached her to sniff her hand, they both heard another approach them. The wolf barred his teeth until the person showed themselves. Fraya came face to face with a person who had a familiar aura, but he didn't look like anyone Fraya or Hermione knew. But then again, She herself had no longer looked as Hermione once had.
"I would be careful with him. He'll never leave you alone once you show him any attention." The man spoke as he snapped his fingers, the wolf joined him at his side.
"I see, but he is a beauty though, My'Lord." She bowed her head.
"I'll agree with you, but he is a beast still, Lady?" The man raised his eye brow at her waiting for her to introduce herself.
"Beg my pardon, I'm Lady Fraya Ravenclaw. I came with my father tonight." She curtsied to him.
"I am Talien Slytherin, it seems as the youngest of the two families needed a break form the liveliness of the ball." He took her hand and bowed over it before gently kissing the knuckles.
"Yes, even enchanted to remain cool in the grand ball room, it was still warmed with all those who had attended." She commented as she got a better look at the Lord.
He stood at lest 6', his eyes black as night and his hair matched the darkness if not for the white ribbon he used to tie his hair back. His clothing showed a lot of black and trimmed with silver. She noted his sword that hung on his hip, the hilt was decorated in a black leather wrap and silver woven in between the overlaying wrapped leather. The hilt was also adorned with a dark green emerald with the Slytherin crest etched beneath the gem.
"We should rejoin the party before we are missed." He spoke.
"I doubt I would be missed much. My sister is the Heiress of the family, not I." She explained.
"Oh, I believe you will be missed Milady Ravenclaw. I heard many who thought both your sister and your self enchantingly beautiful when you ascended the stairs into the ball room."
"I hope none think to approach me as it would be my fathers decision before my own." She said even though she was thinking of her past as Hermione and the Yule ball where her entrance was also noticed.
"Well, Lets hope that entering with me doesn't stir those who would approach your father to much. " Talien held out his hand to her.
"One can hope right."She spoke taking his hand.
The familiar aura swept over her once they touched, like magic familiarizing its self with ones familiar. She looked up at him and noted that he had the same feeling. She saw a slight golden shimmer pass over his eyes and for a moment they where Theo's blue that she remembered stairing into as they held the Fate turner before everything went black and she woke up as Fraya Ravenclaw.
"Thank Merlin that you had the intelligence to land in the Ravenclaw house then the Gryffindor house." Talien whispered as if he saw the same gold pass through her eyes.
"Theo?" She asked hopefully.
"The one and only." He smirked at her.
"Thank Merlin, I wasn't sure how I would find you." She shook her head.
"I'll agree to that Milady, but we should re-enter the ball room, and I'll return you to your father for keeping." Talien spoke leading her towards the ballroom.
"Yes seeing as we both ended up in the founders families, we would be missed."
"Things here are different then in our original time. We can re-write time if we are careful."
Upon re-entering the ballroom, she noticed that Rowena was dancing with a lord with the other ladies and lords of the court. She saw the older Lords and Ladies chatting amongst them selves, more then likely trying to create connections between houses. Which from now till the year 1990 is a tradition that Pure-Bloods continue. Soon Talien had found where her father, whom was in conversation with Lord Slytherin and Lord Gryffindor.
"Lord Ravenclaw, I had found your daughter wondering the gardens and thought to return her to you." Talien spoke interruption the conversation.
"Oh, Thank you young Lord Slytherin. I hadn't noticed that she had wondered off." Fraya's father thanked Talien.
"It was just coincidence as my Dire wolf was out there, I figured I would check on him when I happened upon her." Talien reassured her father.
"Well maybe we should have you and your father over for a dinner at a later date."
With the ball finishing up for the evening, Fraya had found her companion, which she felt relieved about. The stress of finding Theo was off her shoulders. But know knowing that they where both apart of the founders families to worry about. Soon the Goblin wars would be upon them, as well as the Wizarding world going into hiding. They may possibly be able to change the way many see those in the house of Slytherin. But for now, they needed to navigate the next few years.
