Referring to my recent post about Malleus's grandmother... I had a most clever idea..!
Here's a one shot/ scenario where Malleus's grandmother (for now being called Maleficent II) is introduced. I apologize if anything is inaccurate.
"It has been some time since I saw my family" Queen Maleficent II remarked thoughtfully as she observed a maid assemble multiple black baccara roses into a lovely bouquet.
The maid, Bianca smiled joyfully "oh your majesty! It would be splendid to visit your grandson at this time! I'm sure he will be most happy to see you" Bianca's magic seemed to brighten up the room the red glow acting as a tell tale sign of her work. The Queen blinked like the thought hadn't occurred to her. "Go.... Visit..?" Her voice just above a whisper. "Ah yes," the black ink well marked in gold cursive letters "Visible Ink" floated up as did a peacock feather quill and a few sheets of paper. Bianca's red glow around the room ceased as she observed her queen begin a letter. At that moment a well dressed messenger approached the entrance to the room. 'Permission to enter, My Queen?" He formally requested.
Her reptilian lime green eyes stared directly at him as she said "Permission granted" he quickly walked toward her and bowed holding out a white letter sealed with the Night Raven Diasomnia dorm logo as a wax seal. "A letter, your majesty from the Prince"
"Oh? Two letters in one week? He must be having a adventurous life at school" she chuckled taking the letter a letter opener almost materialising next to it and prying the seal open. Unfolding the letter she was faced with Malleus's neat and semi cursive handwriting.
"How interesting! It appears there is a new event where all parental guardians get the chance to appear on campus for a day. I find it odd that Malleus requested me since his parental guardian is already with him but I suppose he wanted to include me as I am his grandmother. It is a sweet gesture nonetheless" she commented as the quill which had halted its writing started again when she stopped reading.
"It's in two days and I look forward to it" she smiled as her response letter seemed to seal itself and a rose red wax seal was placed on it.
"I assume Malleus sent this letter himself, likely just now finding out about the matter. As it would be strange such thing would be pulled off in such short notice. Likely all the other students knew about this at least a week in advance. But it is no matter. Perhaps I should...." she glanced at the letter a amused smile on her face "...play a little game with the assistance of Lilia and his little darlings as a sort of payment for our family's treatment."
The letter vanished in a flash of burgundy sparkles.

"I am Maleficent it is good to be invited formally. I thank you, Malleus, for the invitation" She smiled coyly. A lot of adults and parents averted their gaze. Mostly out of fear.
"Wait you're THE---" a red haired boy with a heart shaped tattoo on his face squeaked nervously. By his red vest he belonged to that other dorm based on her old friend the Queen of Hearts.
"Yes now where is--" she began but was abruptly interrupted by Malleus and Lilia approaching her both bowing out of politeness.
"Good you're here" her gaze softened upon looking at the both of them.
"At your side your majesty" Lilia commented.
Maleficent II observed a reluctant Leona and his adorable little nephew interact with each other.
"Hey cut it out! No climbing that's what we agreed!" He groaned a little. Malleus watched with what looked like amusement, probably thinking it was all very cute. It was considering Leona's personality.
She observed as well, but the scene seemed to shift and she was looking at her late husband and their daughter playing. Her eyes misted over, "oh how nostalgic" she muttered forlornly turning away from such a warm memory even though it left a cold void in her heart.
"No father! I won this round! That means I get the last slice of pie! Right mother?" A young girls voice asked, unmistakably that of a young Illya. It was so happy only to be shocked a few seconds after when she learned that shed taken The last slice. The little child had settled on a game to see who would win the last piece of Pumpkin pie. Naturally Maleficent had solved this by eating it when they were running through the halls.
"Yay! Now all three of us have had three slices" was the next thing out of her daughter's mouth. It surprised her greatly to say the least "what a sly little dragon you are my dear" she remarked the servants clearing away dishes as she left the table.
"Grandmother are you all right?" Malleus asked grabbing her arm. Oh that was a memory. Of course it was. Both her daughter and husband were long dead she thought bitterly. I'm alright she smiled hoping it looked convincing though she doubted the smile was in her eyes. Leona had turned to face her as had Cheka. She absently wondered where he got that scar from but it was not important.
"Yes I am quite fine, shall we visit your friend?" She swiftly changed the subject. Malleus seemed to hesitate but agreed.
Yuu was at Ramshackle dorm alone. They weren't from here so their parents were... Not present. Yuu sat at the entrance observing the festivities. Grim was eating the sandwiches.
"Yuu!" Malleus called
"Ah Tsunotaro!"
W h a t.
They waved and seemed to tilt their head at the Queen in curiousity.
"This is my grandmother Queen Maleficent" Malleus said remembering to play along with the Queen's little game of pretend.
"Grandmother this is my friend Yuu"
"Cute nickname dear" she couldnt resist saying and Malleus blushed a bit. "Yuu" seemed to blush as well probably embarrassed or thinking that they embarrassed Malleus. Laughable. If his parents had been here.... They would have probably requested their own nicknames to be referred to when they had tea or played together. Illya certainly would have thought it cute.
"Ah your majesty I wish to speak with you about a certain matter." Crowley's voice came from her left and she turned to face him. "Very well. I shall return Malleus" she patted his head.

"...It is quite the insult that you were not invited to yet another grand party, but I do hope you find the festivities well" Crowely commented nervously as he approached the cafeteria were hundreds of students and parents were already.
"As her daughter I should think it would be clear who is truly insulted" she snapped frostily. Crowley as well as many of the people present grew silent in surprise.
"Ah I see my game is over..." She put a hand on her chin and almost looked saddened. "That is quite alright I shall properly introduce myself then. I am Queen Maleficent II, daughter of your favored "Great Thorn Fairy the original Maleficent"
There were multiple loud gasps and several not so loud ones. The point that must be emphasized is that many had their mouths open in shock.
"Ah ah.... Your majesty... Forgive my error....!" Crowley started evidently nervous. Queen Maleficent II merely smiled. "Not at all. it was fun... Being my mother for a day..."

"It is time to say my farewells" The Queen glanced at her four precious family members. Her grandson, his adoptive father and his adoptive brothers so to speak. She affectionately patted their heads "Lilia.... As you were..." Lilia grinned and bowed "of course your majesty" he smiled.
"Silver.... Please dont sleep standing up it would be dreadful for you to acquire a head injury" Silver at least tried to look awake and smiled gently. "Malleus do wonderfully and take good care of your.... friend" Malleus looked a bit surprised. "Sebek... I look forward to hearing more about you in Malleus's letters" Sebek blushed respectfully. "Yes your majesty"
Author notes: that didn't go like I wanted it to but I got lazy. I'll edit it with more info later.
