Edinburgh Castle, 1 hour after the attack 

The citizens of the capital were now on edge. It had been an hour since a bomb exploded during the trooping the colour and everyone knew war was on the horizon, But no one knew who with, on one hand would all out war break out between England and Scotland again or was this a war with the death eaters. 

Either way the gates to both the capital and the castle had been sealed shut and Marshal law in the capital had been declared. The army units that were in the capital had been mobilized and units across Scotland were on high alert, The troops stationed near the border now made their way closer. The navy had made their way to the seas at high speed to protect the Scottish coast in case of a foreign invasion, Scotland was now a fortress no one in or out. 

Harry sat in his study a piece of parchment in front of him with a quill in hand be began to write a letter he never thought he would be writing, An hour later and several scrapes of parchment later he handed a footman with the letter with his seal and asked him to deliver into the hand of the person it was written for. He then opened the floo for the footman.


Buckingham Palace, Muggle London, 2 hours after the attack

In her study her majesty queen Elizabeth the second was looking over her state papers for the day, She had known for a year now that Scotland had left the Wizarding United Kingdom and she long wanted to meet her magical Stuart cousin. She was about to finish for the day when there was a knock on the door. 

"A messenger for your majesty" she let the messenger to enter, She had heard of the fashion of magical Scots but she thought it was a joke but here was man in the fashion of the late 1700s. He was silent when he handed her the parchment, She picked up her letter opener and broke the seal on the letter. 

To Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II

My dear cousin, though we have never meet I beg of you to read this letter in full before making your descension. As you are aware their is a magical government separate from your own, I regret to inform you that said government has fallen into the hands of Blood purist who seek to rid the wizarding world of Muggle-borns and Half bloods. 

The leader of this group is a man calling himself Lord Voldemort when in fact his true name is Tom Marvolo Riddle. Another fact I'm sure your aware of is when I took my place as King of Scots your magical government declared war on my people, Said government now wishes to restart that war. 

Not two hours ago during our trooping the colour parade a bomb was set of under the stands, The stand that it was placed under was filled with the family's of the soldiers on parade, and so I beg of you to help find a way to end this war before it goes any further 

Regards 

Your Cousin Henry Stuart

In that letter harry wasn't calling upon a fellow monarch to come to there aid he we begging his cousin to remember that even though their family ties are distant they are related by blood and he was in need of help. And it seems to have worked because after reading that letter she had called for her prime minister to come to the palace and lets just say she was not amused that she had been kept in the dark. 

John Major was shocked when he had been summoned to the palace, He was taken not to the usual drawing room where his audiences with the queen took place but to her study. When the door opened the queen was standing their waiting for him "Sit Prime minister we have much to discus" about what he did not know, "It has come to my attention that there was a war between our magical realms" Major paled when she said that. He had not told the queen their had been a short lived war.
