Penelope could see the face of Albus Dumbledore slowly turn pink after she reminded him of the guardianship rules.

Albus gave a tense smile and nodded a bit. “Of course Mrs. Lovegood, I had almost forgotten about that.”

Pandora stared the lord down, analyzing everything about him down to the shoes he was wearing. She grabbed Penelope’s hand and looked to the minister. Fudge cleared his throat anxiously and began to lead the two down the Hall of Monarchs. Every portrait was one of a King or Queen all bearing the name Cromwell.

Penelope tried to keep a straight face walking passed her ancestors, trying not to search for her father’s face. The portraits began to whisper as they realized what was going on. It had been a while since a regent was needed.

At the end of the hall was the largest portrait, King Alaric Cromwell I, founder and first king of Somnilus. He looked over at the trio and sighed softly.

“It is never good news to see you, Minister Fudge, at least that is what it seems most of the time.” The old King sighed. Minister Fudge bowed along with Penelope and Pandora.

“Greetings, to the Eldest star of Somnilus,” The three spoke before standing up again.

“King Alaric, we need to pick a Regent.” Minister Fudge spoke softly to begin the small meeting. Alaric rolled his eyes.

“I assumed that,” He said boredly before looking at Penelope, “Come here little star, let me look at you.”

Penelope looked at her aunt, who smiled and gently pushed her forward. With a deep breath, she stepped out, in front of the two adults, to look up directly at the king.

“Hmm,” He bent down to get a better look at his descendent.

“You have your Father’s eyes, Cromwell eyes,” He said.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” She said politely.

“Tell me, who is all in the castle, who was called for this?” Alaric asked. Pandora could see the Minister pale. A lord, with no current affiliation to the family, being in the castle for such an important event? The Minister was lucky that the portrait couldn’t cast spells.

“I called my Aunt Dora and the Minister. He arrived with Lord Dumbledore as well.” Penelope said glancing back at the two.

Alaric’s face hardened at the mention that a lord had entered the palace during such a sensitive time.

“I see, little star, do you know what families your father was close to?” Alaric asked standing to his full height.

“No sir,” she said, “but my mother was always close with my Aunt.”

Alaric hummed thoughtfully before speaking, “Penelope, please give me a moment alone with your Aunt and the Minister.”

Penelope hesitated and glanced back at her Aunt. Pandora gave her niece a nod and after a few more seconds, she curtsied and turned to walk away. She listened as the small group began to speak together once more.

“Pst.”

Penelope lifted her head and looked around.

“Over here darling, just to your left, and ah there you are,” A portrait smiled brightly. A figure of a handsome man in his late teens or early twenties. He had vibrant green eyes that matched many of the Cromwell rulers that littered the hall with a neat mop of dark reddish-brown hair.

“Hello, my jewel.” He smiled fondly staring down at the little girl.

“Hi Dad,” Penelope whispered as she stepped closer to her father’s portrait.

“What’s all the fuss going on?” He asked with a soft chuckle as he seemed to lean against his frame. When Penelope didn’t answer, he looked down his smile falling as he watched tears stream down her cheeks.

“Penelope? It’s ok, hey, what?” Duncan began to panic lightly trying to get as close to the princess as he could, being a picture.

“Mom’s gone, she passed…we’re choosing a regent.” She said. Penelope watched as the closest thing to her father leaned back in his portrait. He looked heartbroken, unable to produce real tears for the late Queen.

“Oh, my queen,” he strained, “I’m so sorry, I…my journals, Penelope, in my study, under my desk there is a compartment. Go get those journals, for while you’re in Hogwarts. It should help you know who to trust.”

“Who to trust?” The girl asked a bit taken aback.

“Yes, I only know so much in this portrait, but I have most of my memories. Find Phineas Crouch and Jason Rosier, they are around your age and will be good allies, they’re my best friends’ sons after all.” He said proudly.

“I don’t understand,” she said looking a bit distressed.

“Find the Journals, and then keep a level head.” He whispered as he stood back up. Penelope jumped as a gentle hand was laid on her shoulder.

“Duncan, you better not be giving my niece bad advice.” Pandora sighed.

“Excuse you, is that any way to talk to me? “ He sassed back to his sister-in-law.

Pandora rolled her eyes and bent down to gently grab Penelope’s shoulders.

“King Alaric has chosen me as the Lady Regent, and after me, your uncle will be Lord Regent if something happens to me.” She explained to her.

Penelope let out a soft sigh of relief. She trusted her aunt with the position more than anyone else. However, with the knowledge that her aunt would die young, she worried about how her uncle would handle the position. She shook her head, she could worry about that another time.

“So, what now?” She asked.

Penelope took a breath, “First thing is I will arrange your mother’s funeral and then we will go to my home.”

“I need to grab something before we leave,” Penelope said glancing at the Minister who stood nearby. Cornelius looked even more nervous than when they first entered the hall. Pandora followed her gaze and nodded standing to her full height.

“Of course, Pen,” Pandora said, gently squeezing her shoulder. Together, with the Minister, they walked out to the main hall where Dumbledore was patiently waiting for them. Albus straightened his posture when he heard the door and watched the trio closely.

“King Alaric has named me, Lady Regent, and in the event of my death, my husband is to take my role immediately after,” Pandora spoke clearly. Penelope could see how her aunt stared down Dumbledore who looked..annoyed?

Penelope chose not to listen to what he or the Minister may have to say about the ruling. Her aunt had it handled after all. She decided to listen to her father’s portrait and walked away to his study. Pausing in front of the door, she took a deep breath. No one had entered her father’s study since his disappearance. Her mother made sure of that. She reached up gripping the door knob and slowly turned it, pushing against the heavy door so she could slip in.

Motes of dust and speckles of magic mites darted across Penelope’s vision as she took in the old study. Visions of emerald green walls, filled to the brim with towers of books and scraps of magical inventions scattered across the room. It was filled with a comforting quiet as she walked to the elegant desk that rested in front of a window that looked into the palace garden. Her eyes fluttered shut as she traced the carvings on the desk, feeling the faint presence of her family's magic, her father’s, her mother’s her ancestors. Her eyes opened as she paused just behind the desk. She looked down at the space under the desk and knelt. She began to look for the compartment, growling in frustration when she couldn’t find anything again. Running a hand through her hair, she took her breath as she closed her eyes again. The tickle of the magic that remained in this room caught her attention again. She searched for her father’s magic, gentle yet cold magic. It was like drinking cold water on a hot day, comforting, refreshing, and energizing.

Her hand traced the desk, following the magic when her hand pushed a compartment that had been magically hidden. Her eyes opened as a drawer opened in front of her. It was filled with journals, a ring, and a large grimoire. Penelope felt herself tear up looking at the journal, a part of her father she didn’t know she had.

“Penelope?” Pandora’s voice called for her. Penelope felt her heart catch in her throat as she looked for something to hide her new treasures in.

“Princess!”

Penelope looked over to see Mimzy holding a small bag.

“His Majesty said for Mimzy to have bag ready for when young miss needed it.” She smiled handing her the bag. Penelope smiled and quickly put away the contents of the hidden drawer.

“Mimzy, I am leaving the castle. I want you to be at Hogwarts with me when I go.” Penelope said scooting closer to the house elf. Mimzy teared up and nodded smiling,

“Of course, Princess. Mimzy will go to hoggywarts for her princess.” She said immediately.

“Penelope!?” Her aunt called again now louder.

“Go, quickly,” Penelope whispered to Mimzy. She began to rush towards the door as she heard the house elf snap away. Worrying about being caught in the study, she rushed out. She was almost immediately knocked down as she ran into Dumbledore.

“Ah, young Princess, apologies.” He said smiling down at her.

Penelope straightened her posture as she looked up at him. Clearing her throat, she looked him in the eyes. A shiver ran down her back as she looked into the blue orbs, behind the friendly was something darker, something hungry.

“Penelope! There you are, come on, we’re heading back to my home.” Pandora said from behind Albus. Penelope gave him one last look before walking to her aunt. She took Pandora’s hand and stood tall.

"Yes, Aunt Dora," She said as they walked to the floo. Penelope walked in first and with a handful of floo powder, she transported away to the Lovegood's home.

Fun fact!

If you eat a bud straight off of the plant, it will not get you high. This is because the bud naturally created THCA and has to go through decarboxylation to make THC. It has to be heated to get your high!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May 15th, 1990

Eurydice hummed softly as she remembered the night she learned about her death. She was terrified, of course, she had learned of her death so young, but never the cause. Who would’ve thought it would have been by her own hand?

A spell sickness. They were rare these days with wands and spoken spells to concentrate the power, but it wasn’t enough for what Eurydice needed. Every family had a magic affinity, magic that flows through your blood making your family magic unique to your unit. The House of Black had dark magic lines. The Weasleys and Prewetts were masters of defensive magic. The Astras had celestial magic, unstable magic.

Eurydice had just wanted to find her husband, Duncan, the King who had gone missing five years prior. Leaving Eurydice to become Queen and to raise their daughter alone. Now, laying in her bed paler than death itself she hoped she prepared the girl enough.

“Mum?” A soft voice called from the door. Eurydice looked towards the entrance and smiled weakly at her daughter.

“Penelope, I thought you were resting?” She asked beckoning the girl forward.

“I had a bad feeling, I wanted to be near you.”

Eurydice teared up, Penelope had always been so sensitive to magic. It was no shock that the girl could tell something was off. As Penelope approached her bedside and took her hand, Eurydice began to study her. The pale blonde hair that matched all Astra’s, her soft pale skin that glowed in the moonlight as they stargazed, and her emerald green eyes. The eyes of a Cromwell, so vibrant that they seem to glow.

“Come here, my sweet,” She whispered as she began to scoot over to make room for her daughter.

“Mum, be careful,” Penelope fussed worriedly before crawling into bed.

Eurydice gently pushed some hair from her daughter’s face. “Do you remember the first thing I did when your dad disappeared?” she asked.

“You began teaching me about the hall of Monarachs and took me to the Wizengamot meeting.” As Penelope spoke to watched her mother’s eyes, searching for anything that could help her understand what was happening.

Taking the girl's hand, Eurydice nodded. She cleared her throat as her eyes began to well with tears.

“When I was fourteen, me and you Aunt Dora made a mistake.” She whispered, not able to speak any louder. “We wanted to know how our lives would be, but we didn’t know how dangerous looking into the future is. We saw our lives end and..” She began to choke up. She looked at her daughter who was just barely understanding trying to keep the tears from falling down her cheeks.

With a deep breath, Eurydice continued, “We locked it into place, knowing the future locks it into place, and you can’t change it.”

“Is that why you didn’t want me to come say good night?” Penelope asked as she began to trace the lines on her mother’s hand. Her voice was thick with heartbreak and pain that made Eurydice begin to silently weep.

“Yes,” she whispered. Penelope was silent and so was Eurydice. The two just sat there for a while as Eurydice got to hold her daughter for a final time.

It felt like hours before Penelope felt her mother start fighting her body. Tensing, shaking her head to keep herself awake.

“How did you see it?” Penelope asked suddenly as she intertwined her small fingers with Eurydice’s much bigger ones.

“Like this…with you.”

“Then it’s ok mum, it’s ok to rest.” The girl whispered nuzzling into her mother. Eurydice choked back a sob as she looked at her little girl. Her giggly girl who could make a friend with a troll just by smiling. The little princess who yells at the maids when they overwork themselves. Her sweet girl.

“When did you get so grown up?” She asked hugging the ten-year-old. Penelope let out a teary giggle.

“When my mummy needed me.” She responded.

Eurydice let out another sob as she kissed her daughter’s head.

“Oh my sweet girl, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry you have to grow up so quick.” She cried softly.

Penelope sniffled and nodded hugging her tight. “I know, it’s ok mummy, I’ll be ok, I’ll find dad and then everything will be ok.”

“I love you,” Eurydice whispered softly as she finally went limp. She looked up at her mother, who had once been so filled with life, but from the spell sickness, had become pale and gaunt. Penelope gently held her face while crying softly.

“I love you too, Mum,” she whispered before climbing out of her mother’s embrace.

Numbly, the princess walked out of the room, tears still streaming down her face.

Remember, Penelope, a royal’s work never stops.

The phrase repeated in her head, something her mother told her when the Queen was repeatedly called from the palace in the middle of the night. This phrase kept Penelope going as she rang a bell to summon one of the house elves.

Mimzy appeared in front of the girl with a bow, “My Princess, how can Mimzy help?” She asked with a smile only to finally look up and see the tear-stained face of the princess.

“Queen Eurydice has passed…please call my Aunt Dora and Minister Fudge as well as alert the rest of the staff.” She said her voice sullen and numb. Mimzy nodded quickly.

“O-Of course, Mimzy alerts staff!” The elf said quickly disappearing from sight.

As soon as she was alone, Penelope slid down the wall under the servant’s bell. She rocked herself back and forth before screaming. She screamed in anguish unable to hold back the pain she felt from losing her final parent. Vases, glasses, windows, and anything else easily broken were shattered as a wave of uncontrolled magic shot out from her.

From there everything was a blur. Many of the servants nearby ran to the princess to console her while others began to grieve their queen. Penelope let herself be held by her mother’s personal maid until her Aunt arrived.

“Pen!” Pandora called rushing over to her niece.

“Aunt Dora!” She sobbed as she rushed over to latch onto the witch. Pandora hugged her niece tightly hushing the girl gently.

“Oh you poor thing, I know, I know,” She cooed to the girl who cried in her arms.

“She’s really gone Aunt Dora,” Penelope sobbed. Pandora felt her heartache as she just continued to console her niece.

Moments after she collected herself she watched as Cornelius Fudge walked in followed closely by Lord Albus Dumbledore. Pandora felt herself tense at the sight of the Hogwarts headmaster while Penelope began to scrutinize the elder lord. There was no reason for Dumbledore to be at the castle.

“Ah Ms. Astra,” Dumbledore greeted looking a little surprised, if not a little pale.

“It’s Mrs. Lovegood, Lord Dumbledore,” Pandora said pulling her niece a bit closer to her.

Dumbledore smiled seemingly in relief, “Ah, Pandora, apologies, sometimes I forget just how much you and your sister look alike. Condolences are in order.” He said bowing his head.

“Hello, little one,” Dumbledore smiled now greeting Pandora. Pandora made a small face and tilted her head.

“Greetings, Little Star of Somnilus,” Cornelius Fudge greeted quickly bowing to Penelope to greet her properly.

“You may rise, Minister Fudge,” Penelope spoke calmly as she watched the minister stand nervously.

“Minister Fudge, I was not aware that Lords are able to attend the naming of Regent after the death of a monarch,” Pandora spoke glaring at the two men. Cornelius gulped as beads of sweat began to form on his brow.

“I, um, Lord Dumbledore was close with the family before His Majesty disappeared.” He managed.

Pandora’s glare deepened knowing that the Cromwells had never truly been close to the Dumbledores.

“Very well, he may wait here while you and I go with Princess Penelope into the hall of Monarchs.”

“May I ask why you will be going in, Mrs. Lovegood?” Dumbledore asked.

Pandora smirked at the question and straightened her back. “The legal guardian of the heir is the Regent, however, if there is no automatic regent then the guardian of the child is their closest relative that is over the age of seventeen. Any more questions?”

You know how fucking sharp you have to be to impersonate someone for ten months? Not one tell, not one slip up or moment of weakness. To know their personality and mannerisms so well that not even their friends recognize the difference? To not mess up your schedule and forget to take the polyjuice potion even once?

Ron: guess? Please. You two have been up each other’s ass one way or another since you were 11. This is hardly the scandal of the century.

Harry: What!? Hermione, back me up. You’re at least a little shocked right?

Hermione: oh no, I knew this was where we would end up back in 4th year when I realized you were at least a little queer

Harry: I didn’t come out until I was 20! You’re making this up

Hermione: there’s no heterosexual explanation for the way you looked at Diggory

October 31st, 1975

“Eurydice! You made it!” A voice called over the loud clamor of students in the Room of Requirements.

“Well Pan, you rant about this party every year. Thought it was time that I come.” The young Hufflepuff smiled as her sister embraced her.

“I want you to meet some friends of mine, come on,” Pandora smiled as she dragged her sister along. Eurydice tried to argue only to give up noticing her sister was more focused on finding her friends. Eurydice tensed as she was pulled into a small sea of Slytherin green.

“Barty!” Pandora called as she continued to push through the wave of students until a small pocket opened up.

“Dora! Thought you got lost, who’s the badger?” Barty smiled walking over to give his friend a quick hug.

Pandora cleared her throat and stood tall, placing a hand on her sister’s shoulder before speaking, “Lord Bartemius Crouch Jr, I’d like to introduce my younger sister Eurydice Astra.”

Barty’s smile grew, “Eurydice? You Astras love your tragic heroines huh?” He teased lightly.

“Must you constantly be a bother, Crouch?” A voice called.

“You’re one to talk, Rosier.” He called back turning to greet Evan who was sitting with another boy.

“That is Lord Evan Rosier and next to him is Prince Duncan Cromwell. We have three others that usually join us, but they aren’t huge partygoers.” Pandora smiled.

Eurydice paused as she felt a slight pull looking at Duncan Cromwell. She had heard the name, as she did recognize him from around the school, but to be this close to him now. It made her feel like her stomach was in knots.

“Ms. Astra,” Duncan finally spoke as he stood up, “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, your sister speaks highly of you.”

“It’s an honor, your highness.”

“Please, friends call me Duncan.”

Eurydice looked up at him, her blue eyes bore into his green and she smiled. “Then you must remember to call me Eurydice.”

With a smile, they fell into a rhythm of conversation. Laughing and chatting while drinking the Alcohol that Potter and the Eldest Black had snuck in.

Pandora had been the first one to start drinking followed soon by her sister. The two girls enjoyed drinking and dancing with the group of people until Pandora came up with a brilliant idea.

Hushed laughter and whispers filled the echoing corridors of the Astronomy tower as a pair of sisters climbed the stairs. The elder continuously shushed the younger as they both continued to laugh. The scent of fire whiskey and other various alcohols covered the girls.

It wasn’t hard to leave the party, the last Eurydice had seen, James Potter was dancing on a table with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew trying to coax him down. They could even hear the laughter of Sirius black with was drawing a crowd to watch his friend.

“I can’t believe we’re the first ones to think of looking at our future Eury! Why don’t you think anyone has tried it?” Pandora asked her sister as she walked around the astronomy tower’s highest level.

“They probably weren’t too concerned with it Pan,” Eurydice smiled watching her sister. “Let’s sit, I’m sure the crystal ball is heavy.” She encouraged looking at the ball covered in cloth that Pandora had needed from Hogsmeade a few weeks ago. Pandora smiled and nodded excitedly as she picked out a spot for them to sit and divine their future.

“At the same time,” Pandora said holding her sister’s hands, “We look at the same time.”

Eurydice nodded as she took a deep breath, anxiety settling in her gut like a heavy rock.

“One…Two….Three,” The girls spoke together before gazing upon the crystal with intent. Eurydice felt her body go cold as she saw flashes of their future. Two girls. Heartbreak. Corruption. Death. Their deaths.

With a loud gasp and a pulse of energy, the two girls were shot in opposite directions. They looked at each other in fear, suddenly sober and somber. They didn’t have words. It couldn’t have been real right? They wouldn’t die so young.

Eurydice let out an exasperated chuckle and finally spoke, “That..that couldn’t be true right? We die…young? Leave our children? No, it can't, I won't.”

Pandora stared at her sister in tears as footsteps hurried towards them. The girls looked up tearfully as Argus Filch, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick approached them.

“Oi, you two, out of bed after curf-” Filch started angrily until McGonagall held out her hand.

“Thank you, Mr. Filch, I’ll ensure both of the young ladies Astra are disciplined,” She said softly to placate the caretaker as Professor Flitwick made his way to the crystal ball.

“Oh girls,” He whispered, “What have you done?” he asked solemnly looking at Pandora. The Ravenclaw Astra looked to the ground in shame.

“We just wanted to know what the future would be like,” Eurydice spoke up, her voice cracking.

McGonagall covered her mouth in shock. “You looked into your future?” She waited for an answer only to receive nods.

“Do you know what you have done? You have locked any event you have seen into place, you cannot change what you see!” She scolded.

Eurydice felt sick, she had seen the birth of her daughter, the loss of her husband, and finally her death. She knew Pandora had seen something similar as well.

“There has to be a way to change it!” Pandora yelled suddenly. “Right? I..we can’t?” Tears began streaming down her cheeks as she stared at her teachers looking for answers.

“I’m so sorry,” is all either of the professors managed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next Chapter ->

A/N- I am so excited to keep this going. I took inspiration from Doctor Who, when Amy and Rory had gotten their deaths locked into place. I'm excited to see what you guys thought of Eurydice and I'm excited to see what you'll think of Penelope next chapter. So much to get through before her and Harry meet.
