Dunbledore's Office Hogwarts
"Well Fillus How did your meeting with Mx. Rome go?" asked Dumbeldore
"Mx. Rome is very intelligent polite and to the point, although they are possibly a bit too apologetic." said Flitwick
"Why is this dunderhead so important that we must have a meeting halfway in to the summer!?" asked Snape
"Well Severus Mx. Rome could be any of your student's come the first and we need to discuss how we will catch them up to fifth year work by Septermber 1st." said Dumbledore
"Are you getting senile Albus? Why so much interest in this student we have much more important things to do then coddle this dunderhead leave them with the first years." said Snape
"Severus they have as much of a right to a timely magical education as anyone else, it's not their fault that the register just notified us of their existence." said McGonagall sharply.
"So how will we prepare Mx. Rome for the beginning of term?" asked Sprout
"I suggest we have Andromeda Tonks and Remus Lupin tutor them in the time displacement trunk." said McGonagall
"That seems like a sound suggestion Minerva." said Dumbledore
"Mx. Rome asked that they have some companions to study with in the time Chamber." said Flitwick
"Thats an excellent idea Fillius let Mr. Potter and his friends be those companions. Since he will be arriving at headquarters around the same time." said Dumbledore
"Are you sure you want that spoiled arrogant troublemaker corrupting another student Albus?" said Snape.
"I've had about enough of your biting commentary Severus." said Sprout and McGonnagall at the same time.
"Severus that is enough! If you have nothing constructive to say please keep is to your self." said Dumbledore
"Mx. Rome will require the same privileges as Mx. Zabini do to their gender identity." said Flitwick
"That is perfectly permissible Fillius what will we do if they are sorted in to Slytherin then since the rooms are currently a small single suite?" asked Albus
"I don't believe that will be a problem Albus, Mx. Rome said the most interesting thing they said that they believed that everyone can fit in two houses and they think that theirs would be Griffindor and Hufflepuff, although they displayed much well spoken intelligence so Ravenclaw could be a fit also, they don't strike me as a Slytherin either." Said Flitwick
"It will be a joy to sort this student then." said the Sorting Hat
"Well that solves that." said Dumbledore
"Mx. Rome spoke of learning disabilities and rattled off many accommodations they got in muggle school they also spoke of paperwork to prove cause for these accommodations. They said they would have the paperwork for us upon arrival in Britain." said Flitwick
"Interesting we will have Charity look over the paperwork when we get it and decide what is doable." said Dumbledore
"It shouldn't be to demanding it was things like a dicta-quill and extra time on exams." said Flitwick
"Ok Fillius anything else?" asked Dumbledore
"Thank you all for coming." said Dumbledore
31 July
"Mom,you know that I leave tomorrow?" "Yes, Ari Lev are you all packed?" "Mother, stop worrying about how much clothing I have I'll be fine! I'll probably have to buy a whole new wardrobe anyway for the magical world. Not to mention by body will start changing on T. I am still quite confused why it took them so long to find me. especially considering the fact that I don't think I've ever displayed any accidental magic." "Who knows maybe its because of our energetic sensitivities/abilities?" "Wow, mom thats an interesting thought.""There are a lot of things we don't know about the family history Ari Lev." "That makes me wonder if theres a way to have a family tree drawn up."
1 August
Bring Bring…. "I got it" said, Ari Lev There's a Tonks down here…. Send her up.
Buzz. "Worcher , Ari Lev" said the short woman with bubble gum pink hair who stood outside of the door." Come in, well you must be Nymphodora." "Please call me Tonks I can't stand the name Nymphodora." "Ok Tonks, so I guess we can go." "Let me shrink your stuff. it's not often that people are seen carrying guitars down Diagon Alley" The portkey is going to leave soon so please grab this er, disk. 1..2..3." Ari Lev felt a tug at their navel and then they saw a sign for the Leaky Cauldron.
"Let's go to Gringotts." said Tonks, We walked towards a gleaming white marble building that I gathered was Gringotts. As we were walking I said "Hey Tonks, I was wondering if you know of a of a way to get a family tree drawn up?" "You're In luck the goblins can do that easily for a fee." We walked through the doors and up to a teller, "We would like to speak with someone from the inheritance department to see if Ari Lev has any vaults they can access and have a family tree drawn up." said Tonks, "Let me grab someone from inheritance" said the teller, A couple of minutes pass. "This is Sharpclaw he will take it from here" Said the Goblin,We followed Sharpclaw down the hallway into a nicely decorated office. On the desk sat a piece of parchment and an ornate dagger. "Please cut your palm with the dagger and let the blood drip onto the parchment. the potion soaked parchment will take a few minutes to process and then will have a list of the vaults that you're able to access and your family tree." Said Sharpclaw I did as Sharpclaw asked and sliced open my right palm and let the blood drip onto the parchment. as soon as the blood hit the parchment the cut on my hand healed. "Nifty" I said, as we waited for the potion to process. Sharpclaw took the parchment and had a very odd look on his face.
"Well this is interesting It seems that you're the last living non-squib heir to the old family of Rosenberg and the spiritual heir of the Ba'al Shem Tov. For this reason you currently have access to the Rosenberg family vault and are currently sitting head of the family because In cases where there is no sitting head the headship of the family passes to the next available family member at the time of their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. You will also have access to the family vaults when you turn 17, which is the age of majority in general within the wizarding world. "Here is the key to the Rosenberg family vault" "Silvertooth take Suzerain. Rosenberg-Rome and Ms. Tonks to the Rosenberg family vault." Tonks and I got into a cart and started speeding down to my vault. After a fun ride we got to vault 1238 the Rosenberg family vault we stopped in front of a door which had a coat of arms which had a silver lion with a red rose in its mouth on a blue field and it had these Hebrew words inscribed under it; Emet v'binah l'olam va'ed (Truth and understanding forever)." I walked into the vault and I was amazed by what I saw piles and piles of gold silver and bronze coins, family heirlooms, paintings, weaponry, shelves upon shelves of books and a lot of other items that I'd never seen before. I took quite a lot of big gold silver and bronze coins which I later found out from Tonks were galleons sickles and knuts respectively. "Tonks will we be come back to my vault later? I would like to pick up some of the books it looks very interesting." I asked, "Of course Ari Lev, we can come back after we've gotten your trunk and gone to St. Mungos."
We left the vault and Gringotts, and I spotted a magical luggage store. As we walked in a clerk greeted us, they said "Welcome to Taylor Magical Travelworks." "Well I'm looking for a trunk." I said "Well you've come to the right place. Today were doing a special on a five compartment trunk the first compartment is just a normal compartment to put things and mainly used as a ruse to make people think that this is a single compartment trunk. The second compartment is a study complete with floor to ceiling bookshelves a fireplace a couple desks and a couch. The third compartment is your wardrobe compartment. The fourth compartment is an exercise/dueling room complete with equipment both Muggle and magical. And the fifth compartment is two bedroom apartment two bathroom apartment complete with a fully stocked kitchen. You can get all this for the rock-bottom price of 150 galleons." Said the clerk "Tonks do you think I should get it?" I asked "It's a really good deal and it'll come in handy in the future but it's up to you." Tonks said "I'll take it." I said "I forgot to mention something this trunk comes standard with antitheft charms featherweight and shrinking charms, all you have to do is tap your wand to shrink the trunk. Also, the trunk can be charmed to only let those who you wish to have access. Also we will throw in a featherlight bottomless book bag. Your trunk will be ready in an hour. " Said the clerk. "Can I have my name and Family Crest engraved on the trunk please?" That comes standard also. said the clerk."
