"He had it all set up so when he spoke the food would appear, clever."
I could see a couple of older students start to shake their head in disbelief and I smirked, I must have been the first one to put that together for them, guess the house of the smart isn't as smart as it thinks.
As I was eating another voice...
One thing about being in the house that values intelligence, everyone is likely to ask questions.
I made sure to sit with my back facing away from the head table as best I could, didn't want to give the old man or greasy git the chance to try some passive legitimacy on me.
Not that they would get past my shield...
Then his thoughts turned back to his pawn and he couldn't help but feel a little giddy, he everything was falling into place perfectly when he saw young Harry enter the hall looking around him in awe.
His plan to be the boys grandfatherly saviour from his poor childhood at the hands of his muggle relatives was coming a...
Magnus scowled at that revelation it was obvious to see what was happening, Dumbledore had been manipulating things to get what he wanted.
He used his sway in the Wizengamot to get branches of magic ladled dark and then used his power as headmaster of Hogwarts to remove them from the curriculum.
Doing so in su...
Magnus watched the headmaster and potions professor as he started towards the stool. He could see that Dumbledore at least schooled his features after a couple of seconds.
While Snape shock seemed to fade into a sneer, but Magnus knew better than to look into either of their eyes.
His occlumency training had tau...
Magnus nodded once as they finished the handshake just as the door behind them opened and Professor McGonagall came out.
Magnus quickly slipped back into place as they were lead from the stairs through the grand doors and into the feasting hall.
As they walked in Magnus could already feel all the eyes on them f...
The illusion of the boats moving on their own had many of the first years in awe as they looked around in shock.
You could tell the muggle-borns from the purebloods who weren't doing so as they were pulled out of the cove the dock was in and out onto the open water of the Black Lake and that was when they saw it.
Tracey nods, "Yeah I doubt that Lord Malfoy would have given it up easily, and I doubt that he's going to give up on the seat even with your claim to the position as solid as it is. He'll likely try to have you stripped of your position in favour of his son."
Magnus shook his head, "He can try but he has no legs to sta...
Malfoy looked ready to lose it at Daphne as he glared at her and was about to start yelling when Magnus stepped in front of him again, his eyes still pulsing red.
"Now I am not going to tell you again, get out now, or I will make you." Magnus stated as he channelled his magic into his next words like he had a couple of...
Daphne narrowed her eyes, and from what Magnus could see she wanted to give a rather crude retort, one that didn't need any words and only a single finger as a gesture to give it, but she took a breath and rolled her eyes.
"Matters of the Lord of the houses do not concern the heirs and heiresses Malfoy. If this was a m...
I chuckled, "Well my grandparent's portraits both tell me I should be in Slytherin. As that has been where members of the house of Black have been predominantly over the years, aside from a couple in other houses, such as my uncle Sirius who was in Gryffindor. Though he was disowned before he left Hogwarts so I don't think he...
2024-06-09 15:26:01 +0000 UTC View PostHearing their names my mind went into overdrive to pull together all I knew about both these two girls, both were sorted into Slytherin house at Hogwarts.
Daphne was a pureblood heiress to the house of Greengrass, and had a younger sister who was a year or so younger, while Tracey was a half-blood born to a noble famil...
But if I had to place a bet where they would set up their new base, if it wasn't at Grimmauld place it would be at Hogwarts.
Mainly to do with what I had previously read in Hogwarts a history, seeing as I read the thing twice over in the month beforehand.
I knew everything that it had about the ancient castle....
So we have finally 20 chapter here on advance from WN. So there will only be a single chapter everyday from now on.
And I'm thinking of creating a tier for the unreleased fanfiction early access, meaning early access to the stories which isn't uploaded on WN. Of course in that tier you will have full access to the all ...
The first trap, Fluffy, the Cerberus, is a class five dangerous beast, and he puts it behind a door that can be open by a simple first-year charm in a school full of children?
And his only preventative measure is him at the beginning of the year saying for them not to go near the corridor?
Then the second trap,...
While I could turn my hair or eyes any colour I wanted and even add several inches to my height at a moment's notice.
I was comfortable with my current height and appearance my only modification being my hair, given that I was so used to is being this length when I was older it helped somewhat.
My grey eyes al...
It seemed the more I trained myself on my Metamorphmagus skills the less of a pain my clumsiness became and I was moving more naturally though I had researched ways in which I might rid myself of the clumsiness by other means.
I had found an option, a ritual of sorts that I meant to attempt, though it was somewhat dar...
I had been given a quote and a timescale on how long it would take to fix all that was wrong with the house, which wasn't all that much, aside from a complete re-carpeting and re-flooring of most of the rooms, with new wallpaper or paint put on and updating the furniture and some décor it didn't take that long at all.
"Well grandmother you will be excited to know that during my check up the other day I learned that I possess a lesser form of this skill."
"I have been told that I might not be able to change my appearance to greet extents I will have some talents in it."
"But the reason I bring this up in this instance is becau...
"I spoke to you yesterday evening about the matters of my magical guardianship, how I did not want Albus Dumbledore to retain such position nor anyone else, for fear that they might abuse that power over me, and by an extent use that control to control house Black, and after talking with grandfather."
"I was informed t...
Erebus looked to Magnus for a few moments as his reasons for the questions were made clear and the phoenix nodded again.
'Yes I can, I will be able to hide my form from Dumbledore as you plan on such he will not suspect or realise what I am until you want him to know, as for our bond, we can now talk over much greater ...
"But that's something I don't get," Magnus responded as he finished setting up the large standing.
"If bonding a Phoenix is such a hard thing to do, why did you call Dumbledore a pathetic excuse of a wizard, wouldn't it take a powerful wizard to do such a thing?"
Erebus was silent for a moment but bobbed his hea...
Tonks shrugged, "I'll go fix the three of us some lunch then, then after we can make a start on cleaning yeah? Looks like there's a lot to do."
Magnus nodded, "Sure, Andromeda mind waiting till I get Erebus set up in my trunk before I join you, I'd rather explain my reasons to my grandmother, so she isn't screa...
Thinking to himself for a moment Magnus raised his hand with his detector ring on it thinking that perhaps it was a charm at work to make him drawn to buy the bird, but none of the gems on the ring lit up.
He frowned and stepped closer to the bird and looked at it with intrigue, and watched in amusement as it tilted it...
Tonks who had been too shocked seeing the ring she had only ever been told about to hear her hated name being spoken finally snapped out of things and leaned forward curiously, "So… cousin, we were told you had specifications for all of us, what's mine?" she asked as she crossed her arms across her chest.
Magnus look...
Magnus smiled, "It's really very simple mister Tonks, I am the heir apparent to a very prominent house, one ancient and most noble, currently the last of my name, but I am in need of assistance." Magnus explained.
"You see being as both my parents are dead I am without a guardian, magical or otherwise, and come Septem...
The Tonks account manager, Ragluk, was sitting behind his desk with a rather large grin on his face which put the Tonks off somewhat, a grinning goblin was a strange sight for most wizards.
"As good you've all come as requested, good, this will all run more smoothly then" the goblin spoke.
Andromeda stepped for...
Ironclaw grinned a toothy grin at my statement, "Indeed we are Master Black, and what are matters can Gringotts bank assist the House of Black in today?" he asked as he gestured for me to sit down in the chair on the opposite side of his desk.
I nodded and took my seat, "Well as you can likely imagine after so many yea...
Arcturus nodded, "You have a good head on your shoulders then, you will be sure to find anything and everything in theses shelves, the black library is very extensive.
There is not a branch of magic in the world that we do not have a volume of somewhere in here, though I am sad to say that even with a month of free tim...
I nodded, that was very good to know, I had spotted a number of books back in the vault that I had left because of the curses, I would have to add a stop to the vault to my list of things to do the next time I went to the vaults unless I found the same books in the library here, "I believe I will go and see the library now, I...
