Enigmatical Prince

3

Hermione, Ron, and Harry all try to ignore the rumors about Cygnus but it was difficult like than you think. It seemed like there was a new rumor spread about him every single time and everytime rumor dies down a new one comes and it seemed like many of the rumors were contradictory and confusing. They had to sort through all of this and try to find out which ones were actually true. As they finished their dinner, it seemed that there was always a new rumor being spread about the Drake family. Some of them were just silly and ridiculous but some of them were quite intriguing. Hermione knew that it was best to not pay any attention to them, but there was something about these rumors that she couldn't shake off. The more she thought about them, the more curious she became about the Drake family.

The three of them rush out the Great Hall after finishing their meal, they all were eager to get away from all the rumors surrounding Cygnus and his family. "Bloody hell! I didn't think their that many rumors about that block." Ron said as they made their way to the Gryfindor common room. Hermione couldn't help but agree with him about the rumors being quite plentiful. She hadn't expected so many rumors about the Drake family and she was surprised by the wide range of different rumors that were surrounding them. Some of them were completely silly and ridiculous, but others were much more concerning.
"But do you think any of those rumors were true?" Harry asks, to be honest he didn't usually believe in rumors but some of the rumors about the Drake family were too far fetched to be rumors, plus there was also the fact that they were all unproven.

Hermione pauses for a moment, thinking about Harry's question. She hadn't actually considered if any of the rumors were true or not. But she didn't think any of them could be completely true since they pretty much all contradicted each other. But she still wonders if there could be some truth to them. She just wasn't sure which parts were true, if any. "I don't mate... There were always rumors about Cygnus and his family. After all the Drake family has always been a popular subject for gossip here in the wizarding world." Ron says, he was also curious if any of the rumors about Cygnus and his family were true but he decides not to think about it too much.

Hermione nods her head, knowing what Ron means. The Drake family have been a popular subject for gossip. The Drake family has always been quite notorious for their history and people have always been curious. But she knows that most rumors are just rumors and she tries not to place too much faith in them.

As they walked, they heard yelling at the corner of the corridor. They all look over to where the yelling came from and see that Cygnus and his older brother Pisces were arguing. They were unaware of the content of the argument but even from this distance it was clear that the two Drake brothers were having a heated disagreement. Pisces looked furious while Cygnus looked annoyed. They had never once seen Cygnus angry or annoyed. He always had that charming smile on his face and seemed to be able to keep his temper under control in almost all situations. It was unusual to see him so agitated. They weren't sure what the argument was about between him and his brother, but they knew it must have been quite serious. Hermione's heart nearly stopped beating when  Pisces suddenly lunge towards his younger brother. She couldn't believe the two Drake brothers were actually fighting physically. Her curiosity was piqued and she couldn't help but watch the situation unfold. Harry and Ron quickly stepped between the two brothers to break them apart and she was relieved that no one had gotten hurt. But she was curious as to what had caused the sudden fight. She watches curiously as Pisces struggles to break free from Ron's grip, while Cygnus glares at him menacingly as Harry holds him down.

"Let me go, Weasley!" Pisces demanded as he glares back at Cygnus. "No!" Ron refuses to let go of Pisces, knowing that if he does, it could potentially lead to another fight. Harry was holding on to Cygnus to keep him from attacking as well. The two Drake brothers were clearly still very angry at each other and it seemed like the tension was still quite high. Hermione decides to intervene, seeing that the situation was still tense and that Ron and Harry were still holding onto the Drake brothers. She steps forward and attempts to diffuse the situation.

But the brothers suddenly start yelling at each other in 4 different languages. The Drake brothers were yelling in various languages at each other, alternating between French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. It was clear that they both had a lot to say and that the argument was very serious. Hermione was surprised by their fluency in so many different languages but as Ron, Harry and herself were all native English speakers, they were only capable of understanding bits and pieces here and there. She was still quite confused by what the argument was all about though.

Hermione steps in and both of the brothers immediately stop yelling and look at her with narrowed eyes. She still couldn't understand everything they were saying as they were still alternating between different languages but based on their facial expressions it was clearly apparent that they were both still very angry.

"What do you want, Granger?" Pisces asks with narrowed eyes, it was obvious that he was trying not to snap at her. "I just wanted to know what the argument was all about." Hermione replies calmly. She realized that the situation was still fairly tense and that Pisces was only one small slip-up away from losing his nerve and snapping at her. But she was still curious as to what the argument was about.
