Iv stood in what he believed the headmaster had called a common room. Looking around the room, he found it far more sophisticated than he expected for students. Leather couches and chairs were scattered throughout the room along with tables for studying and shelves stacked with books. One wall was made completely of glass that looked into the lake. Another wall held a fireplace that roared with green and silver flames. He turned at the sound of footsteps and was damn near knocked off his feet by his sister.

“It’s good to see you too little one,” he chuckled wrapping his arms around her. “Has father been by?”

Iv felt Vi stiffen in his embrace but she said nothing.

“I take that as a no,” he sighed.

“I haven’t seen that bastard since he dragged me here,” she grumbled into his chest.

“Should we be concerned that our mate has her arms around another man?” A new voice growled.

Vi released him with a chuckle and turned to face the three men who had entered the room. She gestured two of them forward.

“Draco, Hadrian this is my older brother, Iv,” she said drawing them to her side.

The dark haired young man shrank into the side of the blonde beside him.

“Has father been making a scene?” Vi asked wrapping an arm around the dark haired young man.

“You know what he’s like,” Iv sighed.

“And that means yes,” Vi’s tone was decidedly dejected. “And with what’s going on he likes it even less than he would normally especially because of who they are.”

Iv nodded sadly.

“Forgive me your highnesses, but they are waiting for you,” Susanoo announced with a bow, appearing seemingly out of thin air.

Iv knew that he’d been lurking in the shadows the entire time.

“Heh?” Came Vi’s decidedly un-princess like reply.

Iv chuckled, “father and the headmaster are waiting for us.”

Vi sighed but drew herself up to her full height and stood like the princess she was. Before they could go see the headmaster, the common room door opened.

“Uncle!” Vi exclaimed.

If their uncle was here, it wasn’t good for Vi.
