Chapter 10
Hermione walked quickly into the hall of scrolls, entered, in a clear commanding voice she ordered the scroll that was written 5 years ago, the day before the princess's 10th birthday, and After a while, the summoned scroll flew into her hand, with slightly shaking hands, she unrolled it, and then she was drawn into the scroll's written past. .
After a while she found herself in the imperial palace of Alentia, she knew that it was related to the ancient legend that Alentia would give birth to a child whose power would be both amazing and dangerous and who would bring peace to heaven and earth.
But then her mind was oppressed by the thought of what happened that day, she didn't have to worry for a long time because from afar she saw her past self together with the empress and the empror with serious faces discussing something important. Hermione started walking towards them to hear what was going on.
"you both knew from the beginning that something like this would happen" said the past hermione with a dismissive shake of her head.
"Oh Mion, calm down, we'll figure something out, won't we, my dear," said James, turning his head towards his wife with a small smile on his lips, unable to maintain a serious conversation when he is with people close to him.
"James this is serious" Regulus said in a serious voice.
"I'm sorry" said James.
"what are you thinking of doing tomorrow is Cassandra's birthday and she can't wait for her powers to show up even though she's had them for a long time" said Hermione.
"we have no choice but to crouch and give her a potion that suppresses her abilities until she is ready" said Regulus "and it is better for us that everyone thinks that her abilities have not yet appeared, because we have already received news that Voldemort is looking for the legend said child and we know that at some point the moment will come when he will understand that that child is our daughter," James finishes.
"But I hope you realize that you are both losing your powers slowly" Hermione said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Mion…" James started.
"Don't start james I can see with my own eyes what is happening to you two regulus we studied together for a very long time and I see that you are no longer using your abilities and you james I also see that your time here will end soon" said Hermione with great sadness in her voice.
Hermione didn't get any reaction from either of them at first, but then james stared at hermione with wide eyes.
"How do you..." He asked in confusion and then looked at Regulus who was also looking at his schoolmate with a questioning expression on his face.
"I overheard your conversation once," Hermione said.
"What exactly did you hear" asked both at the same time.
"only that james will find out who he is and that he will soon have to go back and you that you feel like your abilities are slowly disappearing, you can not worry, I have not told this to anyone, I am worried about you and Cassandra, what will happen now, because I know that the legend was only made up story but is it really just made up" said Hermione.
"The legend is true" said james with his head down "You see many centuries ago while I sat on my heavenly emperor throne but of course he is still mine just waiting for me to be forced back but I felt very lonely and we were at war against the dead kingdom who wanted everything for themselves" he began to tell "we won and then one day I went for a walk in the palace corridors thinking, but nothing really came to mind" he continued "and then one day I happened to pass by a grass that we call the gifts of the earth, but to the earth it is called the gift of heaven" he stopped and received an affirmative nod to an unspoken question and he continued "I I don't know what happened but some unknown force told me to go inside and out of curiosity I did so and I don't regret that day then when I went in there that unknown force pulled me to a gift that had not yet been sent and it was you" he said with love and with a soft smile looked at his wife who looked back at her with the same emotions and he continued "then when I looked I didn't understand why this unknown force was pulling me right here and then I looked into her eyes and my heart stopped I felt like all the air is gone her twinkling gray eyes looked at me and I thought they were looking right into my soul and I realized that she is my only one but unfortunately we were two different souls and we cannot be together and with a heavy heart I left the hall but I could not forget her and then after a few days I was told that one of the gifts was missing and that was the Regulus I was devastated but I wasn't going to give up and I promised myself that I would find her and it happened after a hundred or more years I found her she was grown up more beautiful, but unfortunately she had changed" James lowered his head in sadness remembering the Regulus beautiful and dangerous at the same time.
"I remember that day," said Regulus, taking a step closer to James, putting her hand on his cheek and continued, "I was raised to become the heir to the crown of the dead kingdom because he didn't want war anymore and he knew that James had to look for me, knowing that we share a common destiny and we who rules over the realm of the dead it is easier to get to earth we have to donate a small part of our abilities to the original body that remains so that chaos does not arise there and then we can go to earth at that moment I chose the bleck family because I knew that they were my fateful family from the beginning I have an older brother who protects me a lot and parents who love us years passed and after 22 I stopped aging then our teacher came to me and offered to study at that time I had my right hand Pandora as my best friend, but I thought why not maybe could make more friends and then I met you and everything is already in the past, but now when cassandra was born I felt that my time here is slowly coming to an end and that my abilities are returning to the original body and part of it is also inherited by Cassandra so I don't use it anymore, because I don't have much of my powers left and I also understand that this will be the end" she clenched her hands into fists she didn't like feeling powerless "And when I die here I won't be able to visit her because my body will try to get used to all my strength again after so long "
James placed his hand on the regulus palm that was on his cheek and said "I'm just like you love but I was forced to sign an agreement that I would go back and continue to rule the sky before I landed here I had to go through trials and then I was born here, I realized that most of my abilities remained in the original body and I have so much left to go back and then when cassanda was born I felt that my time was already numbered" James finishes.
"Cassandra invented that she had abilities when she was only 1 year old, we were very happy of course, but then we saw what it did to her and we decided that we will suppress her abilities until her body is ready for it," said Regulus.
"so we came up with a story about the fact that children in the imperial family only show their abilities at the age of 10, but we see that her body is still not ready," said James.
"and in case we are no longer here when her powers reawaken, we want you to train her," Regulus said with a smile.
"Of course I will do my best," replied Hermione.
"Maybe you don't want to have tea with us" James asked.
"that would be nice" replied Hermione and the trio went to the table that was already prepared for them.
Hermione of the present couldn't believe what she just heard but didn't understand why she didn't remember this conversation with her friends so she followed them to find out what happened next she watched as the trio calmly drank tea and then she noticed that Hermione of the past had a glassy look on her face, James and Regulus looked at each other and both nodded and then Regulus started.
"Hermione" she said to draw Hermione's gaze to her and she succeeded, because after a while Hermione slowly turned her head in her direction and continued.
"you won't remember this day and our previous conversation and the fact that we drank tea you will remember that you came here directly for cassandra's birthday party now you will go back to your home and come here tomorrow" said regulus after a while Hermione got up and teleported herself on the way, Regulus and James look at each other again and James asks "honey, was that the right thing to do"
