The Queen and Her King

Once Upon A Dream

Brielle POV

After a rather long journey of Harry and I having a nice conversation and joking around as we do, the classical music could be heard as we pulled up to my magnificent childhood home. It was just about dusk and magnificent lights lit up the entire courtyard and castle in front of us, not to mention the light dusting of snow that covered the landscape. The castle was decorated in grand holiday decorations, and I know already that every doorway is going to have mistletoe hanging in it. It's little details like that that I can finally enjoy now that I'm older and have Harry of course. I lit up in a bright excited smile as the carriage stopped right in front of the rose lined pathway to the grand front gate, Harry's eyes were darting around wildly in awe,

"Holy shit... so this is where ya grew up?"

Harry quietly asked as some of the guards piled out to get the door for us. I smiled wider and leaned on him a little and nodded,

"Yup, welcome to my childhood home"

I proudly spoke, Harry just kept looking on in awe at the brilliant castle in front of us. Reporters and paparazzi bordered the pathway up to the castle, guards and barricades keeping the pathway clear for us. Harry went ahead and politely got out first so he could give me his hand to help me down the steps of the carriage. His bright smile was so lovely to see, to this day he still shows me how lucky I am to live the life I do. To think that I once looked at my lovely life and didn't see how lucky I really am is appalling to me, Harry's excited eyes that he still gets every day still reminds me how lucky I am.

Harry gave me his hand and helped me gracefully step out of the carriage, I immediately wrapped my arms around one of his and we began walking down the long walkway up to the castle I know and love so much. Microphones stuck out of the crowd as reporters shouted questions at us, camera flashes filled our sight until the guards came to each of our sides to shield us from the rapid flashes. Harry and I looked at each other simultaneously and seemed to silent talk to each other for a moment, the two of us deciding to make a run for the front door since the crowd was so extreme. We both jogged up to the front door, giddy giggles and classical music were all we could hear now. Harry let me lean on him so I wouldn't trip with my heels and all, and the guards standing at the door was opened for us and let us run up the steps and right on in,

"Phew, that was a little intense"

I said with a light chuckle, Harry chuckled with me and looked behind us as the door shut to see the crowd one more time,

"Oh yeh, that was intense"

We both looked forward again as the door was shut behind us, the classical music was louder than ever with a very low chatter seemingly settled at a nice volume. It was just as beautiful as I remembered, it was all so grand I love it!

"Brielle, honey!"

I heard a familiar voice, I turned a little to see my mom and dad making their way over to us. I smiled and immediately opened my arms to my mom who excitedly came to give me a nice hug,

"Hey mom, hey dad"

I said with a smile. My dad and Harry exchanged a firm handshake until we swapped, I gave my dad a hug and my mom insisted she give her future son in law a hug too. Harry chuckled and simply allowed it, probably glad that my dad didn't want a hug,

"You two look absolutely wonderful, and you two are the first of your friends to make it! Including your brother of course"

My mom complimented and joked. I giggled as my dad and I parted and both stepped back so he could take my moms arm and I could take Harry's again,
