Chapter 3: Vicissitude

The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains as Hermione enters Harry's room, pushing the breakfast tray in front of her. She smiled softly at the sight of her young master/ friend sleeping innocently on the bed. She remembered the time when the young man broke down on her.

*Flashback*

Hermione has just finish putting away the untouched food she was supposed to deliver to Harry's room, but wasn't able to when Draco told her that Harry was already asleep. She knew that her new master was overwhelmed with all that is happening that is why against her better judgement she went to his room to check on him.

Once Hermione reaches Harry's room she knocked softly on his door, listening keenly to any sound coming from within when she heard nothing she gently ease open the door to see if her master was asleep. What she saw broke her heart into piece. Harry was huddled in one corner of the room crying softly. His clothes was in a mess the dress shirt he was wearing has a few missing buttons, his coat was pulled down to his elbows while his tie hung loosely around his neck.

"Master Harry, what happened to you?" She asked as she kneels by the clearly distraught boy, cradling him in his arms like a mother to her child.

Harry felt arms wound around him and a soft voice trying to sooth him. He gazes up to see Hermione there beside him and like an overflowing damn all his hurt and frustrations came tumbling out. He clung to Hermione as he tells her brokenly about everything.

"Master Harry, listen to me. You mustn't give up hope," Hermione said firmly gazing into Harry's tear filled eyes.

"I know it is hard to believe but His Highness is a very good man. It is just he was greatly misunderstood. Like you he is also hurting. He maybe surrounded by a lot of people but he is very much alone. I know it is hard to believe and it is not my place to discuss with you about his personal issues which I have heard from the rumours within the royal household, but please believe me when I say that you two would be each others salvation," Hermione said looking at Harry seriously.

Harry pondered what Hermione has told him and he gave her a slight smile and Hermione beamed at him also, "Thank you Hermione," he said softly accepting Hermione's helping hand as they stood up.

*End of Flashback*

Parking her pushcart near the door, Hermione, padded softly towards the windows and threw open curtains flooding the room with the early morning sunlight.

Harry groaned when the light from the open window touched his face. He tried to evade it by burrowing further within his soft pillows. Hermione seeing her master's cute attempt to stay within his dream land giggled at the sight. "Master Harry," she said softly with a smile on her face as she lightly shook him, "It is time to wake up," she urge the sleeping teen up. One bleary emerald eye peek out from under the covers to glare at her. "Good Morning Master Harry," she greeted him cheerfully as she walks back to where she left her cart. "For this morning I have prepared some blueberry scones and cream cheese. Also since it is the start of summer a fresh batch of watermelons arrive this morning so I made a refreshing watermelon salad out of it. For your tea I have prepared Moon Drop Tea (1)," she said while setting up the breakfast table for Harry.

Harry got up from his bed and stretch his muscles and strode to where Hermione is preparing his breakfast. "Good Morning Hermione," he greeted her cheerfully as he sat by the table, "Hmm… Breakfast looks good as usual. Thank you so much!" he said praising her.

Hermione blushed slightly as she caught his charming yet adorable smile. "No need to thank me, Master Harry. I am just doing my job," she said. "By the way, your schedule for today would be 10:00 with your etiquette professor Madame McGonagall, at 11:30 the tailors would be arriving for your fitting, and at 12:30 lunch with Madame Rosemerta regarding the wedding arrangements, and finally, with Sir Snape for the arrangements needed when we go back to Veela Nation Mainland," Hermione listed down his schedule for the day.

Upon hearing their impeding return to the Veela Nation Harry's cheerful mood subsided. Thoughts of whether or not he would be accepted by the people of the Veela Nation to thoughts of Draco's acceptance of him being his spouse for life plague him. "Umm… Hermione," he called out softly to the brunette. "What is it like? The Mainland I mean…" he asked uncertainty colouring his voice.

Hermione smiled at her charge as she sat in front of him. "Hm… Let me see. The Veela Nation Mainland is located at the south of France. It is a hidden nation much like the wizarding world here in England or any magical community elsewhere. Also with the weather being perfect for grapes the main source of income would be winery. There was once a legend that somewhere within the Mainland, there is a clearing of immense beauty surrounded by beautiful grape vines and a pristine water fall flows through it. It is said that, that place was were the god Dionysius and his wife the First Veela Queen, were wed. Legend has it that anyone who professed their love to their partner while within that clearing would be bond to them in eternal love and happiness,"

'A place blessed by the gods themselves that grants eternal love and happiness,' Harry thought as he imagines the place.

It has been a fortnight since Harry arrive at the mansion and his schedule was pretty much hectic with preparations for his impeding nuptials with the Veela Prince Draco Malfoy, and to top it all off his Royal Education started. Subjects ranging from History, Economics, Culture, Politics, Veela Magic, Etiquette, are only a few of them.

*sigh*

Harry sighed as he tries to focus on what Sir Snape was teaching him.

"Mr. Potter is my lesson so unimportant that you deem it boring that it could merit a sigh from you?" Snape asked the teen.

"Oh… umm… no Sir," Harry said flustered at being caught sighing.

Snape or rather Severus as most of the people address him eyed the teen in front of him and sighed. "Harry," he said softly catching the boy's attention. "I know it is hard to grasp everything that has happened these past few days, and I also know that everything seemed to have happened so fast that it hard to comprehend the start of it all much less its end. But I know for a fact that there is a reason in all of these happenings. I may not no what the Previous King's plans are or also his reasons for choosing you to be Prince Draco's partner. But what I do know is that Prince Draco ever since his birth has carried a very big load and that as his partner or rather his wife you should be able to support him. You should be able to help him carry some of those burdens and not add up to his worries," Severus said as he stares at Harry's eyes challenging the youth to accept his responsibilities.

That night Harry was busy studying in his room reading everything he needs to know regarding the Veela Nation when a knock sounded on his door, "Come in," he called out not once glancing up at the person who entered.

"Master Harry," Hermione greeted him as she enters carrying a tray filled with tea and biscuits. "You should take a break and rest for a while. You have been cooped up here for so long," she said arranging his afternoon tea on the table,"

"Thank you, Hermione," Harry said pausing for a while to glance at his friend, "But there is so much work to be done and so little time for it," he said.

"Aren't you working too hard?" Hermione said standing beside him, "I know you have a lot of work to cover, but you must not overwork yourself to much. It would be counter productive for you to overexert yourself only to collapse due to exhaustion," she chastised him.

Harry only smiled at his friend's reprimand and replied teasingly, "Yes Mother,"

Hermione bristled at the comment and that brought a chuckle from the raven haired teen. "Hmmp!" Hermione crossed her arms over her chest in mock snub, but giggled after a while. "Make sure to take a break and drink your tea, Ok?" she said giving him a hug and a peck before picking up her empty tray.

"Yes, Hermione and thank you," Harry said softly.

Unbeknownst to them a pair of silver eyes was watching them with jealousy burning within their depts. As the person stood and observe them behind the partial ajar door.

It is already late and yet Harry is still working hard within his room. Although he is hard at work his mind was drifting towards his conversation with Severus and Hermione that afternoon and the absence of his fiancé Draco. 'I wonder where he is now,' he thought to himself as he mused on the blonde's whereabouts. 'I haven't seen him for quite sometime no. Is he avoiding me? I bet he is repulsed by my presence,' he thought glumly. 'For the pass few days I am hardly of use to him much less be his support. Am I really cut out for this? Every time we see each other it seem like he'd rather be elsewhere. Not to mention during those time I only seem to succeed in angering him rather than supporting him. It seems that this relationship is bound to be a mistake since the beginning. I am just not good enough for him. I am nothing but a lowly servant boy whose only good at house work,' he though rubbing his eyes tiredly as frustrated tears run down his cheeks.

Meanwhile in Draco's study Blaise and Draco were discussing about state matters when Blaise suddenly vouch the subject regarding Harry. "You know Draco call me presumptuous but I don't think Harry knew anything regarding your engagement to him," Blaise said without preamble.

Draco scowled at what he said, "And how pray tell did you arrive with such a conclusion?" Draco snapped his mood turning downhill upon the subject of his fiancée.

"I mean come on the guy clearly looks like he could barely hurt a fly!" Blaise exclaims "And I have talked with him. He said that he thought he was being hired as a housekeeper and not as your bride," Blaise said.

"And you fell for it. Now Blaise that is something new even for you. I did not know you are weak toward puppies Blaise," Draco said sarcasm clearly heard from his voice.

"You know that is not true Draco. And also that is so low even for you," Blaise remarked.

Draco sighed and stood up, "Whatever, Blaise," he said heading towards the door. As soon as he closes the door behind him he leans on it sighing as he massages the bridge of his nose to alleviate the headache he has. 'Oh Blaise how'd I wished that what you're saying is true. But I just can't erase my doubts that easily. For the sake of my country and my people I just can't affored to let my guard ' down, Sighing for the last time he straightens up and heads down to the hallway towards where his and his fiancée's room are.

Draco enters silently inside Harry's room and observes the sleeping raven slumped over his desk amidst all the books and documents strewn about. Soft silver eyes run over the exhausted teen taking in delicate form of his fiancée. He approaches the slumbering teen and picked him up bridal style intending to tuck him in bed. As he lays the raven haired teen down gently upon the bed he stopped and sat beside him to admire his beauty. A soft hand brushes the raven locks out of his face and caresses the soft cheek and velvety lips, ' What are you really, Harry? An innocent angel maliciously thrown into this world of deceit and cruelty or a devious harlot out to play you wicked game upon unsuspecting people?' he sighed finally giving in to his urge he leans down and brushes a soft kiss upon those tempting cherry coloured lips.

"Good night, my angel,"

"We'll be arriving there in 3 days. I want everything to be ready by the time we arrive. Is that understood?'" Draco said to Blaise as they both enter the kitchen area to talk to the chief.

Draco stopped abruptly as soon as he spotted Harry bustling about inside the kitchen with the chief nowhere to be found. "What are you doing?" Draco asked startling Harry whose back was facing Draco and Blaise.

Harry slowly turns around to face his fiancé his cheeks colouring slightly with embarrassment at being caught. "Umm… I… I…" seeing Harry's flustered face Draco signals Blaise to leave.

With Blaise gone Draco approached Harry slowly. "I ask again, Potter. What are you doing?"

"I am baking," Harry murmured softly while he fiddles with the hem of his shirt.

"And pray tell where's the chief? He should be the one doing those not you. As a soon-to-be Royal Prince you should not be such menial things!" Draco exclaimed scowling at his fiancée.

Something in what Draco said has rub on Harry the wrong way causing the usually mild mannered teen to snapped, "Well excuse me for trying to deal with stress in a more productive manner! You are not the only one hear who is feeling the pressure of our up coming wedding. But unlike you I am trying the best I can to channel my frustrations into something less destructive and hurtful," Harry snarled at Draco. With a final glare Harry marched up towards the pantry get some ingredients, leaving his fiancé in a daze due to his unusual display of temper.

Once Draco had snapped out of his daze Draco scowled at the retreating back of his petite fiancée and followed the fuming raven towards the pantry. Once he was able to catch up with Harry he saw his fiancée reaching out towards a jar of flour at the top of the shelf, while stepping upon a stool to reach it. Unmindful of his fiancée precarious balance Draco stormed the pantry to yell at his fiancé, "Now See here, Potter!" He cried out slamming the door of the pantry startling Harry who loss his balance, knocking over a big jar of strawberry preserves, and started to fall.

*Crash*

Draco upon seeing his fiancée about to fall reacted out with lightning fast reflexes to catch him. Harry closed his eyes tightly expecting to meet the hard linoleum floor of the pantry only to be shook when strong arms caught him. "Are you alright?" Draco asked softly his heart hammering strongly in his chest.

Harry on the other hand was so daze that he could only give Draco a nod to answer his question. Hurried footsteps were heard approaching them, "Your Highness!? We heard a crash, are you hurt?" Crabbe and Goyle said when they saw Draco.

The question seemed to have snap Draco out of his shock and straighten out both Harry and himself. Facing his bodyguards Draco answered, "I am alright. Watch over him," he ordered leaving a daze Harry with two of his bodyguards behind.

Once the door to the pantry clicked shut Harry seemed to have snapped out of his daze and rush out to catch Draco. On his way out of the kitchen Harry grab a tin box he prepared earlier for his fiancé, and ran out as fast as he could so he could catch the blond before he leaves. "Draco wait!" he cried out catching the blond before he exits the foyer.

Draco turns to face his panting fiancée, when Harry thrust the tin box in front of him, "Here I made these for you earlier, and thank you for saving me back there," Harry said blushing madly.

Draco seeing Harry so flustered and touched by his gift forgot his earlier ire and smile at his fiancée, "Thank you also for this," he said giving into his urge to kiss his fiancée forehead.

Harry never expecting that from the blond did nothing but blush even more. Seeing Harry's state of embarrassment Draco only chuckles as he exits the mansion.

"Draco what's that in your hand?" Blaise asked his cousin when he saw the tin box Draco was carrying.

"I don't know. Harry gave them to me," Draco replied unaware of his slip in using Harry's given name nor the tiny smile he has as he gazes at the tin box.

"Well then open it and let's see what is inside," Blaise urged his cousin with a dubious smirk on his face.

Draco shrugs and opens the box. Inside the box is an assortment of delicately handmade cookies that Harry has been working on that morning. Draco smiled at his fiancée's thoughtfulness. 'I'll buy something nice for him later,' he though.

A scowl appeared on his face when he saw his cousin's hand inching into the box to nick a piece, "Oh come on Draco just one cookie. Please…" Blaise pleaded.

"No!" Draco exclaimed as he slammed close the lid of the box while glaring at a pouting Blaise.

"Stingy!" Blaise said blowing a raspberry at Draco.

As Harry was about to go back to the kitchen a maid ran up to him. "Master Harry!" the maid exclaims "The hospital just flooed and they said you are need to go there immediately!" she said

"Remus!" Harry exclaims as he rushes out of the mansion.

TBC…
