The troubles of being a royal

Harry Potter And The Troubles Of Being A Royal
The wedding planners And Meeting Mia and Michael


Harry, Ginny and the others had been at the palace in France for the past two days. They spent the whole of the second day speaking with parliament Harry especially. Some of the older parliament members were stunned at the sight Harry and Ginny made and represented. They could have well have been James and Lily. Harry was a carbon copy of his father, the only difference being he had his mothers Lily’s green eyes. While Ginny frighteningly resembled Lily, only her eyes were a dark chocolate brown instead green.

Ginny suffered to hide her cringing every time a parliament member or servant would call her Ginevra. The butler and some of the older maids and cooks who had been there when James and Lily had reigned however briefly had been given the shock of their lives; if they had not truly known better and been aware that the previous king and queen were now deceased they would have quite literately mistaken them for James and Lily.

This was somewhat painful for the maids and some of the older members of staff. You see James and Lily had been so easy and very pleasant to work for and serve. The fact they were no longer alive was truly a depressing concept. But the current crowned prince and his fiancée were just as pleasant. In fact it was rather exciting, seeing as all the members of staff are witches and wizards. And knew their future king was famous for killing he who must not be named. They all had to resist the urge to not stare at the infamous thunder bolt scar on his forehead.

Most of the staff had been thrilled to see the return of Sirius and Remus, having severed them quite a lot in the previous years, when they had been best friends and members of the royal council to King James. But a few were a bit dubious clearly remembering the mischievous antics and pranks of the two of them and the king, Sirius and James especially.

Harry had sent an owl to the palace in Genovia asking if the present queen and king would be able to visit the castle for the week end to get reacquainted with the royal Potter family as long as they didn’t have any present or pressing engagements to attend to. Two days later they had received an owl informing them that they would be arriving the next day by their private plane.

In the mean time Ginny was dealing with wedding planners and wedding gown designers, as well as people instructing her how to act and behave like a queen. She had already decided that she was going to be wearing Lily’s coronation gown and cape when she was crowned queen of France a week after the wedding. She saw it has a well deserved tribute to the mother in law she unfortunately never got to meet or known.

Harry had decided he was going to wear his father’s coronation robes in tribute to his father. He was also dealing with people instructing him how to act like a royal and future king.

Ginny and Harry had decided what colours they were going have at the wedding, and had discussed them with the wedding planners. Who had actually honestly liked their choice of colours and were not just agreeing with them because of their status over them.

Harry chose the traditional Gryffindor colours and Perry winkle blue and deep forest green. While Ginny had chosen mint green, deep purple, lemon and crème. The planners noticed there was not even a mere hint of pink in the chosen colours. Ginny had confirmed she absolutely detested the very colour pink, no matter the shade of colour it happened to be. Something she most certainly had in common with Lily, both woman deeply detested the colour pink.

As for the flower arrangement the potter’s were famous for their red and white roses. They had gardens full of them, as well as Lilies, tulips and violets.

The reception was to be in one of the main ball rooms. The wedding would take place at the local cathedral, where James and Lily and every other Potter before him were married.

Ginny was currently standing in the middle of the room while the designers whom were going to be making her wedding gown were taking her measurements. Hermione, Mrs. Weasley, Tonks, who was married to George and had been since July last year and Fleur Delacour who was engaged to be married to Ron as soon as he graduated from Hogwarts for good. And Gabriella Delacour Fleur’s younger sister, who was engaged to Fred. And of course Mia and Clarissa and Lily, who had all arrived yesterday afternoon, were sitting in high back stuffed chairs of scarlet out lined in gold, Gryffindor colours.

Michael and Jeremiah and Joe were horse back riding in one of the main Ackers of the three hundred and fifty Acker land on the palace estate. The royal estate was bigger then the Genovian estate by a hundred and seventy Ackers. They were joined by Harry, Ron, Remus and Sirius and Fred and George, as well as Bill and Charlie Weasley. And they were also joined by Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini.

Draco was dating Charlie and had been since his sixth year at Hogwarts when he joined the order like his father. The Malfoy’s were not evil, not at all. It was just an act to keep up with appearances to stop Voldermort getting suspicious. And of course Blaise who had also been dating Bill since his sixth year after he to join the order. Each Weasley member had taken a month off to be around to support their baby sister and future brother in-law. While Draco and Blaise were just happy to be where ever their boy friends and their friends were. They were not used to hanging around royalty.

Lucius and Severus would be joining them a few days before the wedding. Lucius would be bringing his wife Narcissa while Severus would look forward to seeing his fiancée Hermione ever since five months ago. They were to be married during next summer after Hermione graduated for real.

Joe asked Harry “So your highness I was wondering about your lack of security around the palace and its grounds.” Harry smiled “Joe I hardly believe it to be necessary to have tight security around the palace and its grounds, when I known everyone in my country as far as the magical border that separates the wizarding world from the muggle world, are more then capable of hexing an intruder into oblivion. I believe there is a ministry full of aurors that patrol and see to it that the peace in wizarding France is maintained. I understand your need for such security in the royal muggle families. I realise your people are unfortunately not give the option of taking out a wand or use wandless magic to disarm and defend ones self against those that would attack us at a moments notice, without a mere seconds thought.”

Michael asked “Even your woman are capable of defending themselves in such a manner as the men?” Ron answered “Your majesty our woman fought in the war along side us men. They are taught to fight like men. No offence but women in the magical world tend to be more lethal and alert then the women in the muggle world. Women in the muggle world do not have to fear that they may be hexed over their shoulder where ever they may go. Sadly there are indeed spells curse and other such dark magic that is so much more dangerous then muggle weapon’s. For example the killing curse in our world is instant, once cast the unfortunate witch or wizarding on the receiving end of the unforgivable curse is dead instantly. You’re seriously not going to recover from that. But say you receive a bullet, they do not always kill a person, seriously injure them yes, but that bullet can be removed. The killing curse unfortunately is permanent there is no coming back from that.”

Harry sighed “The very curse my friend speaks of is the curse that killed my parents, the previous king and queen of France. The very curse that gave me this scar and made me famous all over the wizarding world, and the savior of said world after the curse backfired and left the darkest wizard of our time less then human, when I was only a year old. And of course less then three months ago I ended the war against wizards and witches of the light and dark sides. I killed that wizard by incinerating him quite literately and sending his soul to the depths of hell.” Harry lifted his fringe and revealed the scar that people stare at the scar that was bestowed upon him at only a year old.

Joe and Michael and Jeremiah were looking at him in stunned horror and pure sympathy. Joe sighed and shook his head and replied “It is astounding to learn there are indeed much worse things that can happen then we are ever aware of.”
