Disclaimer: I do not, have not and never will own either Artemis Fowl or Harry Potter. Nor would I even attempt such a thing as their creators put a lot of work into the creation of these characters, the stories that they came from and etc. I am just a fan of some of the characters in the Harry Potter universe and am becoming a fan of Artemis Fowl, although I haven't read the books he is from yet.
Adoption: I have adopted this story from Shivera who had abandoned it because of the Muse. I hope to do a good job and not end up ruining a good story or idea, so be patient with me and let me know how I do. Parts of the story will stay the same as Shivera wrote them, but I will be adding my own twist to things as I go as well as new characters and etc.
A Fowl in Hogwarts
Chapter 1
By
Phoenix Firestorm.
Butler and his sister finished their early morning work-out then returned to the manor, both to their separate suites to shower and change into clean clothes before their 'work-day' really began.
Although the siblings knew what to expect when it came to fairy magic, human magic….on the other hand…..was a totally different thing altogether. So Butler and his sister were preparing for the worse that could happen, which… when it came to Artemis Fowl II and magic….could be anything the mind could come up with no matter how impossible it may seem.
Once cleaned up and changed into their 'work clothes', the siblings parted ways and went to check on their charges. Juliet went to Angeline's suite of rooms and helped her get ready to re-enter the world she left years ago, Butler went to Artemis's suite of rooms to do the same thing. Although Butler wasn't expecting Artemis to be up, much less awake. Artemis had never been much of a morning person, preferring to sleep in unless forced to get up at the crack of dawn for some unusual and strange reason.
Which considering what Artemis did with his waking time, could be anything and everything his genius brain suddenly came up with. Not leaving him alone until he did something about it! So Butler knew what to expect just from experience, but there have been times over the years where Artemis has surprised him.
Juliet knocked on the door to Mrs. Fowls room, paused momentary for her employer to respond but all she heard was absent muttering. So she opened the door wide enough to peek in, only to be surprised by what she saw.
Angeline Lestrange-Fowl, sitting on the floor in the middle of her parlor/sitting room with an old battered but much loved trunk opened beside her and books scattered in a circle around her. What did not surprise Juliet was the fact that Angeline wasn't dressed but still in her night clothes with a dressing gown thrown over them, this was a regular occurrence so no one batted an eye at it anymore as they went about the rest of their daily business.
Juliet slipped the rest of the way into the room and closed the door carefully behind her, then leaned against its surface and stayed still but ready to act should something happen. Angeline had her wand in one hand and used the other to flip the pages of the book on her lap, lips moving as she slowly read something in a soft voice then she would stop and straighten her head and turned it slightly to glance at her wand.
Angeline would then move her wand in a particular pattern several times just to be sure she got it right, only then would she actually try a spell. Juliet was a bit amused by Mrs. Fowls reaction to the various spells tried, thankful that she played it safe and stayed by the door.
Surprise flickered over Angeline's face when something happened she hadn't expected, a frown of puzzlement when something didn't go right, a pleased and excited response when something did go right or she was able to do a spell that she couldn't do years previously for some reason or another. There were numerous expressions and emotions that trooped across her face as Juliet watched, the bodyguard eventually figure that her boss is dusting off her long-unused skills and seeing if she 'still has it' so-to-speak.
Angeline's 2 kittens were curled up on her lap as well, reading the book along with their human then watched as she did as the book directed. It was rather funny to see the 2 felines hunch down even more when something didn't go right or bristle their fur when something startled them, like an explosion or sudden startlement….then they would calm down and blink as if to say "Well, that was rather unexpected? Wonder what went wrong this time?"
Butler arrived at Artemis's suite door and knocked twice to let his charge know he was here, before he turned the knob and opened the door to enter the rooms assigned Artemis when he was old enough to leave the nursery. Getting a surprise when he saw that his principal is already up and dressed to face the day, wearing a pair of neatly pressed causal slacks and casual button-up shirt with the top button left undone. Black ankle socks and loafers covered the boys feet, a jacket lay nearby within easy reach for Artemis to grab when it came time to leave.
The young boy sat at his desk, trusty laptop already in heavy use by the way the preteens fingers moved over the keyboard. Long elegant slender fingers danced over the keys as his eyes sped over the screen and keeping up with his vast intellect, a frown creasing his brow slightly as if he didn't like what he is finding. On the other side of the room, several printers were kept busy spewing out pages and pages of whatever Artemis wanted a copy of to further study.
Nimueh was standing on her hind legs with front paws up on the edge of the desk from where she balanced herself on Artemis lap, peering up at the computer screen rather intently as if she was trying to understand what her human was doing. Myrddin, on the other hand, was curled up on the desk and also watching the computer screen as well. Both kittens had curious but also patient expressions on their feline faces, quite willing to wait until the time came to act. It was all rather amusing to see from Butlers point of view, nothing was ever dull with Artemis around that is for sure.
Butler took in the entire scene as if nothing was wrong and this is just another chapter in the life of Artemis Fowl II, blinked only once then entered the room and closed the door behind him. After that he went over to the printers and began to gather up the numerous pages, carefully and effectively organizing them into their proper order.
As he placed the pages in the proper order, Butler gave the contents a quick glance that told him Artemis is researching magic again. Except this time it wasn't the fairy folk but humans who have magic, that and magical schools. Butler wasn't very surprised to see this, Artemis had just been given a major surprise yesterday by both his mother and the owl. His principal is bound to have started on this newest puzzle before he even had a chance to fully sleep, which meant that Butler can fully expect to see a lot of traveling in the future because once Artemis began a new hunt. He didn't stop until it ended for either him or his quarry, which meant that every option had to be exhausted and every clue solved.
Finally the printers quieted down and stopped, telling Butler that his principal is finished for now. So he brought the piles of paper over to the desk Artemis kept in his sitting room for when he needed to brainstorm, placed the stacks neatly on the surface then turned to face the child in the chair behind him. The child had not said a thing, nor had he moved except for his eyes and fingers or looked away from his laptop since Butler came into the room.
Eventually Butler asked what was wrong, only to be surprised by what his principal said.
"I am having second thoughts about attending Hogwarts and as much as I am curious about the school Mothers family went too," Artemis replied a little uncertainly, "it is this whole thing about witchcraft that has me uneasy."
"As you can probably tell, I have been up since dawn researching everything having to do with witchcraft and human magic. Some of what I found did perk my interest enough to find out more, while other things I found just increased my unease and instincts that I would be into things I really shouldn't."
"Now I haven't given up learning about magic of all types, whether the kind used by The People or the kind used by my mothers people. We can just as easily hire tutors to teach me or check out another magic school, although I could attend Hogwarts for a year to see what it is like and to make mother happy. Besides, how am I to continue my search for father while attending a boarding school with no working electronics or modern facilities."
"Although a castle as old as mother says Hogwarts is does sound interesting, but I don't know if it is enough to pull the away from the search for father…." Artemis grounded to a stop once he realized that he had been rambling almost nonstop, showing just how nervous and uneasy he really is.
Butler, on the other hand, smiled faintly in relief. Glad that Artemis Fowl II is not suffering anything more earth shattering than a bad case of nerves. He had honestly been expecting much, much worse from the way Artemis had been acting.
"Calm down Artemis and take several deep breaths like you learned from those meditation lessons," Butler replied calmly as he came over and knelt down beside his wards chair, "being nervous and having doubts is natural. A person wouldn't be human if they did not have those qualities, either that or dead. Nor do I count The People as we just met them, so don't know much about them except what the myths say and what you yourself have dug up."
"I know I certainly get nervous, plenty of times since becoming your bodyguard. I have also had plenty of doubts as well, especially during my training at Madam Ko's. Basically what I am saying Artemis is that being nervous and having doubts is natural, remember that I will be by your side….once I figure out how to do so and not get discovered by the inhabitants of Mrs. Fowl's world."
"If you want reassurance, talk to your mother and see what she says about what you discovered. If she is unable to answer all your questions, write to this Hogwarts and see if they can help. The owl who brought your letter to you stuck around, so maybe it can take the letter to someone who can explain things in better detail….maybe even include a copy of what you just printed up."
Artemis smiled faintly, no more than a twitch of his lips and thanks shone in his eyes for the advice given by Butler. He nodded in agreement then saved what was on the laptop and shut it off before the slender machine got packed away in its travel case, Artemis carefully picked up his two kittens before getting to his feet then straightened his clothes some before he collected a copy of the papers he printed up. Leaving his suite to head down to the breakfast room where he assumes mother and maybe Juliet are waiting, Butler soon following close behind him. Butlers two kittens perched on his shoulders, one on each side so they could get a better view of their surroundings as they checked out their new home. Artemis continued to carry his kittens, only putting them down when they got to the breakfast room so they could have their food as well.
The two entered the sunny breakfast room to see Angeline enjoying her morning cup of tea while she went through the mail, separating everything into piles so she would know what had to be dealt with first in order of importance. Juliet was reading the sports section of the paper while she ate her own breakfast, only glancing up once to smile in greeting to her brother and Artemis before going back to the paper again.
"Morning mother," Artemis asked politely as he sat down at the other end of the table, "did you sleep well?"
He absently noticed that Angeline wasn't in her nightclothes or dressing gown so assumed that Juliet managed to get her into suitable clothes, thankfully before they left the estate on their outing.
"Good morning Arty," Angeline replied cheerfully, "yes I did sleep very well….thank you for asking. Although I was up pretty early as I wanted to go through my old school trunk and see what exactly I remembered of my magical lessons. Brushing up on what I had forgotten, which wasn't much surprisingly.
"How did you sleep Arty? I do hope you were able to get some rest and weren't kept up most of the night worrying over useless things. The British magical world will accept you Artemis, it will be their own hard luck if they don't and another magical areas gain. There are other magical areas in other countries, we aren't limited to just the United Kingdom."
"If need be, we can even check out the magical area here in Ireland. I'll take you to it once we get done with the British magical area, the shopping district here in Ireland will be much closer to get our things than having to go all the way to London."
Angeline Fowl frowned as she listened to her baby explain his problems with witchcraft and other things, much of it didn't really surprise her any. Like Butler, she too is relieved and glad that Artemis has shown doubt, uncertainty and hesitation. There have been times in the past where she has grown concerned for her only child, Artemis is her precious baby and she really hadn't been prepared for a genius-level child when she became pregnant with him.
Oh, she still loved Arty dearly…there is no hesitation or doubt about that. Both her husband and her did their best to raise Arty properly, even with mistakes made along the way. Like any parent, she had her own doubts and uncertainty about Artemis. Most of them easily solved and dealt with, others took more time and thought to put to rest. Unfortunately, it looked this latest problem that Artemis brought to her attention is one of those that can't be solved right away…nor did she know how to go about it.
As she pondered how to go about solving this predicament, she absently glanced through her copy of the papers Artemis found and printed out. Butler and Juliet each had their own copies, all 3 of them putting their heads together in finding a solution as they ate the meal prepared by the kitchen staff.
Once breakfast was finished, the group gathered up numerous papers and all trooped into the library to work more on this problem. Angeline handed her son the pile of mail that came for him while she took care of the various businesses she was authorized to in her husbands absence, something that had been sadly neglected during her time in Looney land and was determined to rectify immediately.
"Butler, I have decided to contact Madame Ko and see if another of her students will be able to assist in this new situation. You will still be in charge and Artemis's primary bodyguard, but you are going to need more assistance now that Arty's magic has decided to surface."
"I would also prefer another member of your family as the Butlers have been with the Fowls the longest, but if none have the necessary skills needed then I will accept whomever Madame Ko recommends." Angeline suddenly spoke up, surprising them but also giving Butler a sense of relief with a bit of mild worry toward who will be joining him in protecting Artemis.
"I would also prefer another of Butler's family as well mother," Artemis replied, "I am most comfortable with them and know what to expect in a way. While someone from a totally different family and background would be strangers, not to mention unable to deal with everything that occurs around me properly." Causing Juliet to snicker at the rather blunt way of explaining the truth, Butler just smiled faintly while mentally agreeing with his ward.
"Another thing I remembered Arty," Angeline spoke up again, "Mr. Finnigan's wife is also 'gifted' like you and I are. I also believe their son Seamus attends Hogwarts as well, he may be able to provide some assistance while there. He will at least be a familiar face to you, whether he can be of any use is another thing."
This surprised Artemis and the Butler siblings, they knew of the Finnigan Family but never clued in that they were like Angeline and her son. The family has been with the Fowls almost as long as the Butler Family, except they were primarily groundskeepers/gardeners and huntsmen (which included caring for any animals raised on the main Fowl estate) who served in their own way Most, if not all the food served at meals is produced at the estate gardens and culled from the estate forests under the watchful care of the Finnigan Clan.
"Alright mother, we will see if the Finnigans can help us any and if Madame Ko has other graduates who can join Butler and Juliet. Just don't forget to get addition guards for yourself mother, the danger to our family will most likely increase now that we are re-entering the magical world. So it is best to be overly prepared for anything that might come out way, don't you agree Butler?"
Butler definitely agreed, this current generation of the Fowl family attracted more trouble than a magnet would attract metal filings. Especially ever since Artemis discovered 'The People' and started dealing with them, something that wasn't really covered in his training while at Madame Ko's. There have been times when he wondered if he had really been as prepared as he thought he was, only to find out differently when something happened that was most definitely not expected!
Once a plan had been decided upon, the unusual family focused back on dealing with the remaining mail, at least what could be dealt with right now. Some would have to wait until a later date, when more time is available, which wasn't a whole lot to begin with.
Afterward Angeline left to go get dressed and make her phone calls, Juliet went with her to assist if it was needed. Butler left to check over security and stew about not being able to protect Artemis properly while at this school. Artemis decided to go sit out on his balcony again, but this time to read some of the books from his mothers time at Hogwarts. They may be several years out of date but they would still give him much needed information about the 'magical world' as a whole, so he started with 'Hogwarts: a History'.
Mr. Devlin Finnigan paused after putting the phone down on its cradle again, thinking about what Lady Fowl just told him. The titles of Lord and Lady may not be in use much any more but those still loyal and connected to the Fowl name continued to use them, even if it is just in private.
The young Lord has finally awaken to his heritage, magic in all its beauty is now active in the main line. He wondered what the young master will do with such a gift only to snort dismissively at the thought, Artemis Fowl II will do what Artemis Fowl II always does and beware anyone who stands in his way!
As he turned to go tell his family that they have been summoned up to the main house, he couldn't help but chuckle softly "The Magical World won't know what hit them with the young masters return, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he gradually took over the place from the shadows."
It certainly would be something that he could see the young genius doing, regardless the chaos caused along the way!
The infamous and easily dangerous Madame Ko smiled as she finished the conversation with her most valuable client, Lady Fowl gave her the news she has been eagerly waiting for. Young Artemis Fowl II has come into his heritage at long last and now needed more appropriate protection, Domovoi Butler just won't be enough now that magic has become involved. Thankfully, she knew just who to send and they were even from the Butler family…just not the main line.
Angeline frowned thoughtfully as she headed down the stairs to the parlor where they will be receiving the Finnigan Family, she had just finished her phone calls and left it at that as it was all up to Madame Ko to supply what Artemis and Butler needed. Another reason why she suggested the Finnigans to Arty is also because Mrs. Finnigan can bring them up to date on what has been happening in the Magical World in her absence, all she really knew is the bare bones of the basics.
Which isn't enough to prepare her family for whatever is coming, it is up to her to care for her family in her husbands absence, something she determined not to fail at. Just because she is a near-squib who can't do enough magic to be deemed a threat, doesn't mean that she doesn't have other tricks up her sleeves, Angeline is a Lestrange born and bred who married into a family that brought new meaning to the words cunning, bull-headed sneakiness and slyness.
Her son and only child is a wonderful combination of the 2 families, her only hope and prayer is that Arty doesn't inherit the madness which plagued so many of the old families in the magical world. It would just break her heart to see her precious baby be destroyed by the same thing that destroyed so many others in the past, whether through their own foolish actions or something else entirely!
Another thing Angeline wanted to do while in Diagonal Alley with Arty is to stock up on newer books, she couldn't believe how rusty her magic-usage has become. True, most of the cause is her own fault but still!
All of the books she has access to is what was packed into her old school trunk and inherited when her parents died, which may still be of some good but those can only do so much before a need to acquire newer information became important.
Angeline paused briefly as she remembered something, then made a mental note to go through all the books she inherited from the Lestrange library and make sure they are safe for Arty, her family is but one of many that has rather questionable tastes when it comes to reading material. She doesn't want her baby to get sucked into the same darkness that destroyed her own family, which means that she needs to go over everything with a ultra-fine tooth comb to make sure Arty doesn't get hurt even accidentally.
She continued on down the stairs and picked up where her thoughts left off, debating whether or not to put the word out among the extended Fowl Family for any books that they think would be of use to Arty and herself, not caring if duplicates arrived with all the others. Duplicates are good to have anyway, often very handy if one copy gets damaged or lost or misplaced or even destroyed.
Angeline glided into the parlor, not surprised to see Arty already there with his nose in one of her old school books. She smiled faintly at the title 'Hogwarts: A History!', one of the few books she has that probably didn't change a whole lot.
The books in her school trunk also reminded her of the Fowl Family Library, not the normal everyday one which is filled with enough works of literature to rival most famous collections. The Library she is thinking of is the hidden library of books on magic that her husbands family has been collecting since its very beginning, just because the Fowl line is mostly squibs mixed with various magical nonhumans doesn't mean they don't have access to their heritage.
They do, it just isn't human-based magic the Fowl family has trouble with. Each generation inherits something from whichever magical nonhuman that has married into the family, like Arty's smile and almost white skin tone just to name an example. Other inherited traits and gifts may surface over time of course, she wasn't going to fuss about it and waste time waiting.
Angeline's problem is that she couldn't remember where exactly the library is hidden or how to access it, not that she would be able to as she isn't a Fowl by blood…only by marriage. It would be up to Artemis to open the library once he found it, however long it took her to locate the bloody thing.
She knew it existed, her husband showed her and everything. Unfortunately her time in Looney land has caused her memories to become scrambled a bit, not her recent memories but her older ones. Those were slow in sorting themselves out, but progress is slowly being made thankfully. Angeline settled into her favourite chair and picked up her cross-stitch sampler, something she had begun to refresh her memory. An activity suggested to her once she regained her senses, so the elegant woman walked through the entire property and manor to make sure her memories of the place were correct. Angeline also began many little hobbies learned as a child growing up, as a way to continue her memory activity and so far everything seems to be gong well as her body and muscles knew what they are suppose to be doing.
She had just finished a particularly complicated corner of her cross-stitch piece when Butler appeared with the Finnigan Family plus 1 extra child. Angeline assumed it was a friend of young Seamus, but kept silent until introduced. She set aside her sampler, making sure the needle is securely in place and wouldn't go wandering before getting to her feet. Noticing that Arty had done the same, moving over to stand by her side.
Artemis spent most of his time in the parlor, reading and taking numerous notes in his handy notebook. Taking care not to mark up or further damage his mother's books, it would be a different subject if it was his own book though.
This activity kept him peacefully occupied until their guests arrived, which is when he carefully marked his page in the book then set it aside until later…after their guests had left of course. He then got to his feet and went over to stand beside mother, following her lead in greeting the Finnigans.
Artemis knew the family quite well, mostly from watching his parents interact with Seamus's parents. He also knew Seamus as well, mostly because of the childhood play outings with other children among the staff. His father believed that a leader should know his people extremely well, almost to the point of where everyone is considered one huge extended family. Treat the staff and their families well and they will do almost anything in return.
Besides, he found the various offspring of individual employees to be tolerable. Seamus is one of the few playmates he managed to keep over the years who hadn't fallen victim to the 'Gim'me syndrome', often treating Artemis as simply another one of 'the guys' instead of the boss's son and heir. So he really enjoyed the time spent with the Finnigan Heir, it has been quite awhile since he allowed himself to relax with 'important associates'.
Seamus had difficulty sitting still and just generally staying in one place, his best friend was visiting for the summer while his family was away. So looked on in amusement as Seamus fidgeted, fussed and generally vibrated with energy.
The young Irishmen was antsy because of 2 things, 1) the young master and childhood friend activated the magic that had once been in the de fole line before it vanished and 2) Artemis will be attending Hogwarts which meant future chaos and mayhem to either participate in or enjoy from the sidelines!
Either way, the magical world as a whole won't know what hit them!
They think you-know-who is the ultimate bogey-man and someone to watch out for, they have yet to meet his future boss…let alone see him in action!
Bleh! Guess this is as close to my goal of 10 pages as I am going to get with this chapter, I could continue but this is as good a stopping place as any.
Sorry for taking so long in getting this chapter done and everything, but I was having difficulties blending my writing style with the style of the author who originally wrote this story. Not to mention I had to somehow add more content to the chapter without overdoing it, I think I managed to do so…finally!
Anyway, let me know what you all think and of course, suggestions and reviews are always welcome. As well as constructive criticism and mild flames, just don't toss me into the inferno without any explanations or reasons please and think you.

Story Update:
Chapters in the works:
Sorry, nothing to report here, everything is currently a mess in my bedroom/workspace as I have been rearranging the contents to satisfy the safety concerns from my landlord!
Will include an update in the next chapter….if I find everything that is!
Who will be Artemis's Cronies/Stoogies?
Draco has Crab and Goyle, who will Artemis have? Any suggestions and ideas, it has to be someone in his year and house(s) (at the moment I am playing with the idea of him being in both Ravenclaw and Slytherin together)…that is the only requirement I have.
Question: I am thinking of making the mother of Artemis Fowl the first either a follower of Artemis or the goddess herself, which should I do…let me know what you think of the idea.
Like the Blacks in naming their children after the stars, the Fowls will be naming their children after the various Greek deities. So should I have the whole family as followers of the Greek deities or have some of them be offspring of various deities?
