Chapter 2
Early the next morning, while Hermione Granger was brushing her hair back into a pony tail there was a knocking on the door. Smiling she called, “Come in.” The door slowly opened and as Hermione turned around to face it she found a black haired young girl in a pretty pink dress. She looked very beautiful and looked familiar to Hermione. It was then she realized that this was Ariel’s child, which meant she was the princess.
“Good morning, Lady Hermione, my mother says that King Triton will be here soon and would like to have breakfast before he gets here.”
“Of course, your highness,” Hermione smiled as she stood up. She too was wearing a dress which someone had laid out on the bed before she woke in the morning which she took that she should wear it. It was very beautiful, a dark green dress which wasn’t as dark as emerald but just as beautiful. The dress itself brought out her eyes and really showed how mature and grown up she had become over the years since year one of Hogwarts which was only six years ago.
After settling the brush on the drawer, Hermione followed the young princess to the dinning hall where they would be serving breakfast. They had a relatively silent breakfast, nothing special besides Hermione meeting Prince Eric for the first time and being introduced personally to Princess Melody by Ariel.
Ariel, Melody and Hermione, after they were finished with breakfast, left to go outside to the beach. Hermione waited patiently behind them, still not quite believing that she would be meeting the King Triton of Atlantica. Or a real merman!
With only minutes after they reached the edge of the sea, a figure rose from out of the water. From this close he didn’t look too much like Albus Dumbledore, which Hermione was somewhat grateful for.
“Ariel! Melody!” He said in a gentle voice with a large smile. Melody quickly ran up to him and hugged him. He laughed, “I’ve missed you too.”
“Grandfather!” Melody laughed, pulling away, allowing Ariel to hug her father. Hermione looked at them with surprise. She had no idea that they were related to him. She wouldn’t have guessed, but it made some sense since from what she knew mermaids weren’t known to actually have existed in the muggle world or co-existed peacefully.
“Daddy, this is Hermione, she says she needs your help.” Ariel stated after she and her father said pleasantries.
“Really?” King Triton sounded curious; he half smiled towards her, which caused her to blush in embarrassment.
“Uh yes... I think so anyway.” Hermione started, somewhat nervous to speak to a King and a king merman with a pointy trident. “See I’m from no where near here, I’m really from the future.”
King Triton’s eyebrows slowly rose in amusement, but said nothing. Melody stared at her in surprise. Ariel stood their silently, waiting for Hermione to finish her story.
“My friend, Ron, had been fooling around and I don’t know what spell he said but it accidentally hit me and I was suddenly transported here last night. I had seen your celebration yesterday and thought that since you were a merman and have the legendary trident that you could help me find a way home to my time.” Hermione let out a breath after she finished the sentence. She stayed quiet looking at the other’s expressions.
King Triton still looked amused at the story while Melody looked curious. Ariel looked thoughtful. After a moment of silence, King Triton stated, “I will help you, but what are you? No human knows how to do a successful spell.”
“I’m a muggle-born witch… a witch that has non-magical parents.” Hermione explained simply. Ariel and Melody looked silently confused and worried when Hermione mentioned the word witch. Hermione wondered why… but then remembered that in history witches were taken seriously by humans as evil beings of the devil. It might have been the same way with merpeople.
King Triton smiled, though, which surprised all the women there. “I can’t help you here though. We have special equipment there in the palace that could hoever. You would need to be taken there.”
“You mean to Atlantica?” King Triton nodded. Hermione gulped.
“I’m a good swimmer but I’m not that good, I couldn’t stay underwater however long it would take to Atlantica. I don’t have my wand with me.”
King Triton nodded. “If you wish, I will grant you the ability to be a mermaid until I find the right way to send you home.”
“Really?” Hermione asked, surprised but becoming very excited at the thought. King Triton nodded. “Oh thank you!! You have no idea how much I always wanted to be a mermaid since I was little!”
Ariel and Melody laughed. “I know what you mean,” Melody stated. Hermione looked over to her and they shared a smile. Melody looked back to her grandfather. “Grandfather, could I show Hermione around Atlantica?”
Ariel shook her head. “Melody you know you have schooling, and you already put that on hold long enough. You need to stay here, I’ll go with her. Besides I know Atlantica better.”
Melody pouted but didn’t argue, King Triton smiled quite happy with the idea of his daughter coming back under the sea. “It’s settled. When should we leave to Atlantica?”
Ariel frowned, “I have to let Eric know so how about after dinner tonight around seven?”
Hermione and King Triton nodded in agreement.
