Chapter 2

Gideon stood in the foyer of the Ministry of Magic blending into the crowd of rushing people none of them noticing that they stood or walked by a Lefay. He quickly walked up to an attendant who was standing around. "Excuse me miss where is the Wizengamot meeting happening?" he asked as kindly as he could. The attendant looked up and scanned the man for a family sigel before she eeped at a picture of a raven in flight over a blood moon. She quickly left saying something about an escort before returning with three well built wizards with drawn wands pointing at Gedion.

"I have done nothing you have no reason to approach with drawn wands," he stated calmly before continuing with, "so PUT THEM AWAY." he roared, scaring the wizards. They quickly put their wands away and told him to follow them to the meeting room. When they arrived, every other member was sat in their seats leaving only his open. He thanked the scared wizards and walked up and prepared to take his seat with every eye on him, but before he could a man in a muggle suit yelled at him.

"Aurors, arrest that man." Gideon turned to the man and saw how pale he was, he was about to speak but someone beat him to a response.

"On what grounds Minister, this man even if he is a Lefay has done nothing wrong." Gideon turned to the origin of the voice and saw a rather tall man standing up. He turned back to the 'Minister' and saw him pale even more, if that was even possible, and with his most respectful shit eating smirk, he took his seat while everyone continued their stairs towards him. Gideon looked to his left and right observing the people next to him. On his left sat a younger looking man who looked away when Gideon looked to him. He was maybe 20 or 30 ish with the last name Nott if he was sitting in the right chair. To his left was a forty something looking blond male who didn't looked away when Gideon turned to him, the blond finally stood and bowed to Gideon.

"Lord Lefay allow me to introduce myself I am Lord Lucian Malfoy of the most ancient and noble house of Malfoy." he said this with an air of superiority before a dam seem to burst as a third of the court stood to introduce themselves to him. After the thirteenth person got done with intro a loud bang was heard across the entire court silencing everyone. Behind the bang stood an elderly wizard with a grandfatherly smile.

"Now let's get this meeting finished then you all may introduce yourselves to Lord Lefay." as he finished the Minister stood and started the meeting. About halfway through the meeting when Gideon realised the room was at a stalemate between three split sections of the court he turned to Lord Nott and began to ask a few questions.

"Lord Nott," he said scaring the poor fellow. " forgive me for seeming ignorant but why the hell is the court so stagnant?" he asked keeping a whisper.

"Well you see my Lord there are three factions almost. The light," he said pointing to the opposite side of the room, " lead by Albus Dumbledore. The gray, " pointing to the middle, " lead by Lord Greengrass who stood up for you, and then us who are more or less seen as dark in reality I am gray but I stay in the dark section. We are lead by Lord Malfoy." he finished speaking and looked to Gideon.

"Tell me who are members of the gray side?" he asked looking to the Greengrass Lord in deep thought.

"Well the Greengrass, Davis, Parkinson, Lovegood, Bones, Abbott, Zabini, and Nott families mainly. Oh and the Potter and Black families but they haven't been present since the war." when he finished Gideon look astonished and said one phrase which launched Lord Nott into a crash course of recent history.

"What war?"

Meanwhile

Jason was walking around Diagonally with his mother, their first stop was with Gringotts were, as soon as they crossed the threshold, two goblins blocked their paths crossing their axes to prevent further entrance. One of the goblin tellers looked up to see the commotion and slightly paled. He quickly jumped up and scurried over to settle the altercation.

"Now now now, what seems to be the problem here." The goblin asked with a smile filled with razor like teeth. Jason looked up to his mother and saw her almost boiling with rage.

"I am Astrid Lefay, and your guards have stopped us for no reason." She stated causing the goblin's face to pale even further than it should have. He quickly scurried of to another goblin and started to speak in what Jason recognized as Gobbledygook, as they spoke he was able to pick out a few words his father had tried to teach him such as Raven family, returned, and trouble. Soon after the two goblins returned and ushered them into a large elegant room with four more goblins sat in royal looking chairs.

"Hello," started a larger than average goblin in a navy blue muggle suit "we are the goblin council and we are sorry we stopped you. It's just the last time there was a Lefay around she killed a lot of our kind, so forgive us for our somewhat cold welcome." He explained to the revered family's matriarch. Jason looked around the room not paying attention to the meeting between his mother and the goblin council. As the meeting dragged on the Goblins told how the Lefays were untrustworthy after Morgana's reign.

"But seeing as you haven't gone on a rampage yet we are willing to consider doing business with you," the goblin said before his voice suddenly turned dark. "As long as you don't repeat history." With the terms said the business of setting up a new Lefay vault, trading a few jewels for the current wizarding currency, and finally taking some goblin suggestions on investments Jason and .

After the meeting with the goblins Jason and his mother left Gringotts to shop for their school items. Their first stop was a bookstore named Flourish and Blotts. As he looked around he pulled out his school list looking for the books needed when he ran into a blonde ferret like boy, and once the boy and Jason dusted themselves off the ferret started to berate Jason.

"Filthy commoner do you know who I am." He started to yell before Jason cut him off.

"Should I care who you are, you may be noble but I can guarantee I won't care." With each word said by Jason the ferret grew redder and redder in the face before he finally blew.

"AND WHO THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU!" He all but screamed making his face match the colour of an eggplant. As he yelled Jason smirked a large shit eating grin and leaned forward slightly to softly speak so only the blond ponce could hear "Jason Lefay."

With that said Jason spun around on his heel, grabbed the last book he needed, and left the shop to go get robes made for himself. Why he couldn't get his robes like the rest of his clothes he would never know, but he knew better than to speak out. When he entered the shop he saw first a woman who must be the seamstress, who was working away on getting the measurements of another person, then he noticed the girl she was working on, but before he could really study her, another woman came out and told him to stand on a stool with his arms out to the sides.

As the assistant was writing down Jason's measurement she tried to make small talk but Jason was wholly focussed on his earlier encounter with the blond ponce. In many ways he reminded Jason of his brother, his brother, that was a laughable thought. Tobias was very many things he was an arrogant, cruel, bigoted, and greedy human but he was Jason's older brother and jason looked up to him, but that stopped when Gideon started his training, and when the sessions ended Jason became a great practice dummy, and he even moved without the need of a motion spell. Jason had been told by many of the elves that served the family that he and Tobias looked quite similar, and he could see that but he didn't like to agree to it. Both boys had the same brown hair, close to the same dark grey eyes, both could be very vengeful if needed, and both were skinny as twigs and rather short for their age. To Jason however, that's where the similarities ended, Jason saw himself as calmer, gentler, and overall a better person who tried to keep the hate away, and tried to not be like Tobias. This wasn't a slow realisation for Jason, it was a brick wall that hit him at the age of seven.

Jason was sitting in his room with an old spell tome laid out in front of him showing him how, with just intent and a few altered words, a caster could use the basic theory for a spell and give it a different ability. After reading and rereading the page a few times he flipped to the next page to continue reading when a family elf had popped into his room.

"Master Jason, Master Tobias wishes to sees yous in the training room." The small creature bowed to Jason before he popped away leaving no room for argument. Jason, who thought that his brother was going to teach him, rushed off to the training room filled with excitement, and when he arrived, Tobias was leaning against a wall waiting for him. Once he noticed Jason a sick grin spread across his face before he directed Jason to stand against the far wall.

"So," Jason started a little wary "what are you teaching me?" He finished as Tobias brought up his wand.

"Dodging." He stated before he cast his first spell "REDUCTO" As soon a the words left his mouth a deep red bolt left his wand and started to barrel towards Jason who quickly rolled away. When he got to his feet again more spells of different colours continued to head towards him making him run, jump, roll, and dive to stop from getting hurt. Tobias decided to give him a break by raising short walls for Jason to use as cover. After twenty minutes, Jason begins to get tired from the constant dodging his 'lovely' brother is making him do. Tobias, who had barely broken a sweat, sent another reducto at Jason's feet blasting him onto his back then he sent a ethereal purple looking spell towards him. Jason, scared shitless, threw his hands up and felt a wave of force leave him. Looking up in amazement, Jason saw the wave knock Tobias flat on his back.

"You little FUCKER," Tobias roared once he stood up "HOW DARE YOU RAISE YOUR HAND AGAINST ME" he continued before he brought up his wand pointing it directly at Jason again "AVADA-" he started, his wand glowing a sickly green, before a white spell slammed into his side. Jason looked were the spell came from to see his father and mother standing in the doorway. Within a few strides, Gedion was standing over Tobias, hauling him up by the arm, and dragged him out by the arm. Astrid all but ran to her child and started to lift him into her arms carrying him away. As he was being carried to his room, Jason was replaying the last spell that Tobias had tried to use, the sickly green of the spell looked very familiar and he just had to know.

"Mother what was the spell bubba tried to use?" He asked quietly so as to not anger his mother. Astrid sighed before looking down to her youngest child who was slightly battered from rubble that had hit him, his eyes were big and glassy and his lower lip quivered, a very good way to get his mother to talk.

"Jason, that was the killing curse, if he had finished you would of died." She said heartbroken that Tobias would try to kill Jason. One Jason's mind processed what his mom had said, his eyes went wide with only one thought on his mind 'My brother tried to kill me?'

Jason was pulled out of his thoughts by the attendant pulling on his sleeve to ask what all he wanted. He told her that school robes would be fine and hopped off the stool and walked back to his mother who had a small smile on her face.

"Hello mother what has you so happy?" He asked her with his head tilted to one side.

"Since it's your birthday soon I wanted to get you a gift, a pet." She said as her smile grew larger as she lead her son to a nearby pet store. When Jason entered he looked at all the possible pets but nothing caught his eyes until he saw a large black owl in the far back corner and for a reason Jason found that he couldn't look away from it. In a trance like state, he started to walk towards the cage that housed the shadowy bird. After standing in front of the owl, for much longer than he realised, Jason felt something clamp onto his shoulder causing him to jump slightly breaking his trance like state. Jason looked up over his shoulder to what had made him jump to see the store owner standing next to him.

"Hello young man sorry for scaring you," the owner said pleasantly to Jason before continuing "I saw you heading towards the bird, and she happens to be rather mean to strangers."

"What is she?" Jason asked

"He is a raven owl," the owner replied "they are as you can guess an owl with the feathers of a raven along with a lot of magical power." He explained to the boy when he saw the very confused look. The owners eyes widened with fear when Jason quickly reached out and touched the cage, and before he could stop him Jason had already opened the cage and had his hand outstretched for the bird. The owl, who usually would have bitten anybody who came to close, looked at Jason with intrigue before jumping from its cage and landing on the outstretched hand before climbing up the eleven year old boy's arm onto his shoulder.

"Hello, I'm Jason would you like to join me?" He asked the owl who gave a hoot of agreement before Jason continued. "Well then you'll need a name how bout Osiris?" He asked the dark bird getting a wing to the back of the head.

"Okay so no on Osiris, how about Umbra?" He asked the owl again this time getting a more agreeing hoot from the bird. With a smile on his face Jason turns to the store owner and sees that he is staring wide eyed at Jason and his new pet. Jason shows his mother his new pet and starts to pay for Umbra Jason feels a tug at the back of his mind. Wondering what in hell would dare to enter his mind he used his magic as a sort of wave to try to find who was using magic at the moment.

Flashback

Jason was walking around the Lefay mansion when, out of nowhere, his father showed up and started to cast spells at Jason. Thinking as quick as he could he dove out of the way and drew his wand. Jason spun out of cover to start casting only to find the hall empty. Jason was too busy wondering where his father could've gone to notice the spell behind him before it slammed into him causing him to blackout, and when he woke up his father was standing over him.

"Jason do you know what this is," Gideon asked gesturing all around him, " This was the introduction to how to sense when anybody or anything uses magic." He replied once Jason shook his head to the asked question. After that day Gideon taught his son how to reach out and feel with his magic over his other sense.

Jason closed his eyes and cleared his mid of all thought, after that he let his magic pool into every part of his body starting from his feet then moving up, finally he released a burst of magic all throughout the room. To his surprise the intrusion in his mind wasn't a human but it was his new friend Umbra so, very hesitantly, he lifted his shields and let the bird into his mind.

"Hello little raven." Said a voice that seems to reverberate through his skull.

"Hello, um why were you trying to get into my head?" Jason asked the owl.

"Well little raven, I'm a raven owl and we are very intelligent so we like to become familiars." Umbra replied as she also sent out her own magic to bond with her new owner.

"Well okay then," Jason said as he used his own magic to reach out and accept the bond. In the real world Jason Astrid had just paid for Umbra when both the owl and her son started to glow an arcane purple with a line of magic connecting the two together. Once the light disappeared Umbra jumped out of her cage and went straight to Jason's shoulder hooting happily at the affection the young boy was giving her, and Astrid watch in awe at the display her youngest son had just bonded with his pet much like Morgana did with her raven many generations ago, this certainly was shaping up to be an interesting year.
