Vivat Regina - Negative Reactions

Summary:

Other unexplored negative reactions (from old schoolmates and the general public) to Hermione Granger’s coronation and marriage to Salazar Slytherin. Occurs mainly during the after-wedding-night reception in the last chapter of Vivat Regina. Please read that first.

Notes:

Warnings: For coarse language
Spoilers: Deathly Hallows/Epilogue: EWE
AN: Sequel to Vivat Regina. Will make more sense if you read that first. Basically Hermione finds out the convoluted Magical Laws means only the Magical Monarch can make the changes. And to become the Monarch one has to pull the ‘sword-from-the-stone’. She organizes a huge drive to get everyone to give it a shot and no one passes until she tries. Of course, after she becomes the new Magical Queen of Britain she finds out she has to marry her Fates-made match who turns out to be Salazar Slytherin. And he’s not such a bad guy after all.

Chapter 1: Against - Pansy Parkinson

Chapter Text

Pansy couldn't believe it. The uppity mudblood bitch was the Magical Queen? Impossible! She must have confounded the stupid sword! Like Potty confounded the Goblet of Fire during the Triwizards Championship (To this day the truth about the circumstances of Harry's participation had not been made public).

The pug-faced Slytherin alumna huffed and scowled as she watched Granger accept vows from many Houses. Everyone wanted to get in her good graces. It was positively disgusting, watching that display (Pansy pointedly ignored the fact that being the recipient of such adulation was Pansy's hearts desire). Father had paid several fees for each Parkinson witch and wizard to draw the sword ahead of the rabble. Only none of them had succeeded. None of the worthy purebloods, or even a bloody half-blood! It was infuriating to see a mudblood receiving what was rightfully due to a pureblood!

Pansy wondered if Granger had somehow hexed the stone, broken the Enchantment… she didn't put it past the Gryffindor witch. Pansy remembered what Granger had done to Dolores Umbridge. She shivered. For so many more worthy witches and wizards to try and fail? Merlins Enchantment must have been broken! Pansy made a mental note to mention the possibility to her father. Perhaps there was some way of challenging Granger's rule and restoring the rightful government with the deserving purebloods in charge.
