1. A royal visit

The Queen.

The whole school was abuzz with the news that Aleathea (A-lee thee uh) the young queen of the magical

world was coming to Hogsmeade. she would be attending a reception and staying two nights at the local hotel. Every student

at Hogwarts new Her interary by heart. and so it was after a week of listening to Malfoy bragging about how he was going to

sweep the queenoff of her feet and charm his way into heart and maker fall madly in love with him Harry, Hermione and Ron

went to bed on the eve of the big event.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!! the sound of an alarm clock going off woke harry the next morning Harry rolled slightly

and nudged the person next him with out even opening is eyes.

"Turn that sodding alarm clock off before i shove it up your ear canal!" then he stopped short and his eyes popped open.

"Wait a minute ron doesn't have a muggle alarm clock!!" he turned to his left and emerald green eyes met cinnamon

brown ones.the collective scream that followed as well as Harrys falling off of the bed and taking half the contents of the nightstand

with him, awoke the rest of the girls in the room. in his haste to get up Harry jerked the entire blanket off the bed giving him a GOOD

look at Hermione. instantly he clamped his eyes shut and turned away.

"Great," he muttered, "She would have to sleep in the buff, as if this wasn't embarrasing enough." after an ear percing chorus of screams

that covered every decible known to man. Harry felt a sinking feeling in his stomach when he heard a shrill woman's voice over the din.

"MISTER POTTER!!"

* * * * * * * *

"And so," finished Harry who was standing in the common room with ron and Hermione as the prepared to leave for Hogsmeade,

"That is how i wound up in this mess. the thing is I don't even know how i wound up in the girls dorm much less on Hermione's bed

And now because of it i have to stay here and clean Gryffindor tower while you guys get to go and meet the queen." ron scowled

"I'll bet you my entire stash of Chocolate frogs that Malfoy and his goons are behind this."

"Well," said Harry, "Draco has been spending more time in the library than what is normal for him." hermione looked worried.

"Do you really think that Draco could have figure out how to bypass the blacking charms on door way to the girls rooms?"

"I don't know." said Harry, "but we'll have to figure that out later, you guys have to go."

Harry stood and watch as his friends and the rest of the students left for Hogsmeade. then he turned back towards the tower and work. the minutes of the

day became and hour then two hours and finally Harry came to the biggest job of all scrubbing the walls. he had a long handled brush and a bucket

and was brushing as hard as he could hoping that if he got all this done they would let him go to the reception that night. suddenly he heard the portrait

swing open and the sound of soft footsteps entering the common room. he turned around and saw a shapely form appear in shadows of the doorway.

'That is definitely a girl," thought harry as he looked at the figure's figure, "No guy has ever had a set of legs like that."

"Hello?" he said tentatively

"Hello," replied a feminine voice. the mysterious visitor stepped into the light revealing herself to be a beautiful girl about two years older than Harry.

She was dressed in a white sweater, a knee length white skirt and white leather dress boots. over all of this she had a white cloak with a befurred

hood. she had light blond hair and brilliant sapphire blue eyes.

"Are you all alone here?" she asked looking around

"More or less," said Harry, "thanks to a dirty trick that i think Draco Malfory was behind i got knocked out of going with my friends Ron and Hermione

to see the arrival of the Queen today and stuck cleaning these walls."

"Ah the Malfoy family," said the girl rolling her eyes, "the family that's been involved with or behind every shady deal and dirty trick in the

last 200 years."

"You just described them perfectly," said Harry with a chuckle, "By the way my name is Harry." he held out his hand

"I'm Ali," said the girl taking Harry's outstretched hand, "and as for these walls, how about I lend you a hand?" without waiting for an

answer she laid asider her cloak grabbed the spare brush and bounded up a ladder almost as though gravity had no affect on her at all. her long hair lay in a

simple braid down her back

"Wow,"thought Harry, "she's beautiful, smart, and agile as a cat to boot," shaking himself out of his thoughts he grabbed a brush

resumed scrubbing.

"I really appriciate the help," He said

"don't mention it," she said, "i'm always willing to help a fellow Gryffindor."

"You were a Gryffindor?" asked Harry

"Yep," smiled the Girl, "I had to leave at the end of my second year though, family trouble." they contunued working and in almost no time at all

they were finished.

"You, hungry?" asked Harry as he put the brushes away. the girl's stomach growled in response to the question.

"Famished," she replied.

"Come on," said Harry, "will fix that right now." they went down to the kitchens and found that Dobby had a plate piled high with

sandwiches and a pitcher of ice cold milk waiting for them.

"Harry," said Ali if it's alright with you i'd like to eat at Gryffindor table in the great hall."

"Fine with me," said Harry as he led the way.

when they had finished of the sandwiches Ali looked around the great hall with a smile on her face.

"You, Know," she said, "when i came here i found a place were i didn't feel so out of place i was just one of the girls, i guess that is why i loved this place so

much. suddenly her smile widened.

"Harry," she said grabbing his hand, "dance with me."

"B-but we don't have music," he stammered, "and besides i have two left feet." Ali just smiled and waved her hand instantly a full band appeared

she lead harry to an open spot on the floor. it was right where the stool was set for the sorting ceremony.

"Don't worry about those to left feet," she said with a twinkle in her eye, "I have two right feet so we should be all set." she took his hands and

Placed them on her hips and place her hands on his shoulders and they danced.slowly her head got closer and closer to his shoulder untill she was resting her cheek

on it Harry wasn't sure how long they danced when all of a sudden she straightened up.

"I have to get going," she said, "My uncle would kill me if I blew off the reception tonight."

"I understand," Said Harry. before harry had time to realize what she was doing she leaned up and captured his lips with hers in a sweet gentle kiss.

"Thanks for a wonderful afternoon," she said. With that she turned and walked toward the door her cloak appearing around her shoulders.

half way to the door she stopped, turned around and tossed Harry a small object that she had pulled out of her pocket.

"That is just a little somthing to remember me by," she said with a mysterious twinkle in her eye. Harry looked down at the object in his hand and stopped

short. he could have sworn that his longs were filling up with ice as he realized he was holding the royal signet ring!!!

"you're," he said looking up at the spot where she had been standing, "You're the Queen," he finished quietly.

* * * * * * *

"I wish you could have been there, Mate," said Ron between bites off of the enormous pile of food on his plate, "That Queen Aleathea is one

Seriously hot babe she sit in my throne anyti__."

"She's also smart," broke in Hermione not liking where the conversation was heading, "she has an exstensive library of books and she's even studying

Wandless magic."

"Really," said Harry deadpanning.

"There was one thing unusual though," said Hermione looking thoughtful, "she seemed especially interested in our wellfare once she found out who we

were. it was almost as though she was playing favorites." Ron brushed his bangs back.

"That's because she was taken with yours trully," he said between mouthfuls.

"That's because she's never seen you eat," snapped Hermione, earning a dirty look from Ron. before Harry could say anything Draco Malfoy came in

gloating.

"I shook her hand, and she smiled at me." he sneered gleefully at harry, "Lot better than an old scarhead like you will ever do, Potter." that comment

had Hermione reaching for her wand but Harry gently stopped her,

"Let it slide, Mione." he said gently, "Besides who cares what a YO-YO like him thinks." Hermione, never able to ressist when Harry used that gentle tone,

relented and stuffed her wand back down in her robes. Just then the mail arrived and some let out a shout an pointed to an Owl wearing a collar with the royal seal

of the wizarding world.

"It's the Queen's Personal Owl!!"

Everyone watched breathlessly as the owl swooped down toward the Gryffindor table and landed right in front of Harry! As Harry untied the Perfumed pink

Envelope he glanced over at Draco and saw him sitting there looking completely mordified whatever color he had in his face was long gone.

when Harry broke the seal of the envelope it became a glowing three demensional abberation of the Queen's face.

"Harry," she said, "I know that by now you know who I really am.

I hope that you're not mad at me for not telling you right at first,

I meant too I really did but I like being treated like a normal girl

Getting your arse kissed all the time can get rather annoying.

Thank you for yesterday afternoon you have given me memories

That I will always cherish. the ring that I gave you is my personal signet ring

and portkey please visit me often.

I will always remember our dance and especially our kiss.

Love Ali.

When the letter ended Draco jumped up and got in Harry's face

"I don't sodding Believe it," he yelled at Harry, "I go through all the trouble of learning how to get passed the Gryffindor house blocking charms just to hall

your sorry arse in to the girls rooms to get you banned from going with us to day and you still come out on top."

"MISTER MALFOY,"thundered the entire faculty simultanoeusly. Draco flinched and all the color drained out of his face again. Harry just smiled

"BUSTED," said the entire Gryffindor table. Malfoy was being led away by the ear when Harry was grabbed by the coller. Hermione pulled Harry so close

that their noses were nearly touching.

"What did she mean by kiss?!"
