"Good luck today Harvey" Dove smiled and kissed her son gently on the cheek.

"Mum" Harvey whined feeling embarrassed at his mother's display of affection. It was his first day at his new school and he wanted to make a good impression.

Dove laughed and ruffled Harvey's wavy brown hair "Off you go then and remember I'm picking you up not your great grandma Olenna" She called as Harvey joined the sea of students.

"Bye mum!" Harvey called back

Dove smiled fondly and was about to turn to leave when one of the other mums approached her.

"First day?" The other mum asked

"Yeah but I think I'm more nervous than him" Dove chuckled good humouredly however at the same time she nervously tucked a loose brown curl behind her ear.

"Don't be it's a great school, whose class is he in?" The mum asked, she was pretty with long auburn hair and blue eyes and looked around the same age as Dove unlike the other mums.

"Mr Lannister's, he's also the headmaster right?" Dove checked

"Yeah, he's strict but knows what he's doing" She reassured Dove

"Well I should hope so" Dove replied playfully

The mum grinned and outstretched her hand "Sansa" She introduced

"Dove" She replied and they shook hands "Thanks for coming over, the other mums have been practically glaring at me since I arrived" Dove stated with a mischievous gleam in her green-silver eyes.

"Oh just ignore them I don't even associate with them unless I have to, they are all really stuck up" Sansa informed her and the pair started laughing.

"So do you have a son or a daughter?" Dove asked after they composed themselves.

"A daughter, Catelyn" Sansa answered

"Cute name" Dove said honestly

"Thanks I named her after my mother" Sansa told her and a flicker of pure sadness crossed her blue eyes.

"Sansa Clegane!" A deep voice interrupted

Dove looked over to where a mountain of a man was stood beside his jeep, Dove tried not to stare at his horrific facial scars and instead returned her attention to Sansa.

"Ah that's my husband, I have to go. I'll see you at home time, bye" Sansa said and jogged over to her waiting husband.

Dove waved goodbye and headed toward her own car, noticing the disgruntled looks from the other mums in the process. Dove smiled sickeningly sweetly at them and a few grumbled clearly unimpressed with her behaviour. One mum in particular was glaring at Dove, she had long blonde hair and cruel dark green eyes. Dove thought she would look beautiful if she replaced her sneer with a smile.


"No listen to me I don't want your average white roses which you sell to your average customers. These that you have sent simply aren't good enough, is Vera back from her holiday yet? Ah good is she there? Well put her on then!" Dove instructed sternly down the phone whilst her sister Margaery watched her amused.

Dove paced up and down her kitchen in her black satin stiletto heels whilst she was on hold. She had changed out of her school run clothes into a black pencil skirt and green sleeveless ruffle blouse as she was meeting potential clients later in the day.

She continued to pace, her stiletto's clicking angrily on the marble floor before she was taken off hold.

"Vera hi thank goodness you're back, your girls sent me these pathetic roses that I can't even use for decoration. Ok brilliant thanks Vera I knew you would fix this. My sister's wedding is in a weeks' time I know you can get it fixed by then, bye" Dove finished and hung up

"You're mean when you want to be" Margaery grinned

"Hey this is your wedding I'm planning, everything is going to be perfect" Dove smiled

"Now I'm starting see why you have a waiting list of brides wanting you to be their wedding planner" Margaery said and nibbled half-heartedly on a carrot stick, bored of her strict pre-wedding diet.

Dove was about to reply when her phone rang again "Hello" She answered and listened intently her face falling as she did "You have to be kidding me, no it's fine I'll come through" She sighed and ended the call.

"What's wrong?" Margaery asked putting the sample of roses Dove had decided weren't good enough for the wedding into a vase.

"Harvey's been in a fight" Dove stated running her hand exasperated through her chocolate brown curls.

"Oh no is he ok?" Margaery asked concerned

"My son's fine, apparently it's the other three boys he kicked the crap out of that are hurt" Rose said trying not to smile

"Three on one, impressive" Margaery smirked

"Well he is my son" Dove grinned as she picked up her keys.


Dove raised her eyebrows at Harvey who was sat with his arms crossed outside the Headmaster's office. His green eyes were shining with unshed tears because, like his mother he hated to cry.

"Harvey" Dove sighed "Come here" She instructed and knelt down

Harvey jumped out of his seat and ran into his mother's arms. Dove hugged him tightly as his body began to shake with sobs "What happened little man?" She asked taking a mothering tone

"They were mean to me" He said his voice muffled as he cried into Dove's green coat.

"I hate to break it to you Harvey but people are mean" Dove replied disappointed she had to say this to her seven year old.

"They called me a bad name and pushed me, Uncle Loras said-" Harvey began

"What have I told you about listening to your Uncle? Besides you can't hit people who upset you Harvey it's against the rules, they are smarter more cunning ways to hurt people" Dove said and kissed Harvey's still bright red knuckles "And they are less painful" She added sternly

"You can go inside Miss" The receptionist called

"Come on" Dove sighed and stood up taking Harvey's hand in hers.

Dove opened the headmaster's door and stepped inside. It was a sparsely furnished office with no personal touches whatsoever, Dove assumed the office's occupant would be cold and unemotional solely due to the lack of personality in the room.

Sat behind his magnificent oak desk was the headmaster himself Mr Lannister. He didn't look up as Dove and Harvey entered, which instantly irritated Dove.

"Sit down" He ordered sternly as he typed furiously on his laptop.

"Please" Dove added fiercely not liking his tone.

Mr Lannister looked up, his fierce green-gold eyes fixing into Dove's mischievous green-silver ones. Dove smiled slowly at him, revealing perfect white teeth.

"You are Harvey's mother?" He asked curtly

"Yes" She drawled implying it was obvious.

"I have already spoken to Harvey, he can go back to class. However I want a word with you about your son's behaviour in private" The Headmaster instructed coolly.

"Very well. Go back to class Harvey I'll see you later" Dove smiled through her irritation at how Mr Lannister just expected her to follow orders.

"But-" Harvey protested

"Don't worry I'll deal with this" She said firmly and opened the door for Harvey. He left but not before giving his mother an unsure look.

"Now Mrs-" The Headmaster began

"It's Miss actually" Dove corrected slamming the door shut.

Mr Lannister glared at her but Dove merely arched an eyebrow at him, silently daring him to order her about again.

"Very well Miss" He emphasised "I couldn't find any details regarding Harvey's father, is there a particular reason why that is?"

"Yes" Dove smiled mischievously and seated herself on the edge of his desk.

"Would you care to explain why?" The Headmaster enquired his tone becoming exasperated.

"Not particularly as it would mean revealing all my secrets" Dove smirked "However I will tell you that Harvey's father plays no part in his life" She added seriously

"I see. Now Miss…"

"Tyrell. Dove Tyrell" She informed him

"That is a rather unique name, it suits you" He said mildly his gaze running calculatingly over her.

"Was that a compliment?" Dove asked with a playful smile.

"No it was a statement" The Headmaster replied sternly.

Dove narrowed her eyes at him unsure whether he was being sarcastic or not, a small smirk lurked in the corner of the Headmaster's mouth in response. Abruptly he stood up and made his way to the front of his desk where Dove was seated.

Dove's mouth betrayed an amused smile realising Mr Lannister had stood up merely to tower over her. Playing along with his little power game, Dove uncrossed her legs and shifted so her skirt lifted a little higher.

"Tywin Lannister" He informed her and outstretched his hand.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Mr Lannister" Dove purred as she shook his hand.

"Likewise Miss Tyrell" Tywin Lannister smirked
