His Master Gilded Amnesia
Hey guys! I'm so happy, I finally got a threatening review. It warms my heart that you would threaten me to continue writing, although the idea of Sebastian stalking me sounds absolutely wonderful! I wouldn't mind William or Undertaker either. Inferi could be awkward but that's what other people are for, shields. Hell on Earth could be interesting, imagine the devil ice skating, there would be a lot of shocked faces. I realized I skipped out on the Midnight duel, but Ciel isn't as gullible as canon version is. This chappie will include Quidditch, and then it'll derive from the original book, so here's where the story picks up. I'm changing Seamus' backstory. Holy crap nearly forgot Happy Birthday Dearest Ciel!
"You have flying lessons then herbology today, Bocchan." Sebastian said going about their regular morning routine.
"Flying with who?" Ciel asked
"They're putting Gryffindor and Ravenclaw together. Then the Hufflepuffs and Slytherins." Sebastian said as he buttoned up Ciel's shirt.
"Wonderful, I'm stuck with those imbecilic children once again, I don't believe that it's normal for two houses to have so many classes together." Ciel complained
"Most likely Dumbledore's doing." Sebastian replied calmly
"Lovely, I think I'll spend the day in the library, seeing as Flying doesn't start till noon." Ciel said as they walked out of the dormitories.
"Have you found any more leads on the case?" Sebastian murmured as they walked through the halls.
"No, but I feel that I'm missing something, none of the students know anything, and the teachers know nothing as well." Ciel huffed in displeasure
"Oh dear, it seems as this hallway has been blocked off due to repairs, it seems we'll need to go through the Great Hall." Sebastian said as they stopped in front of the closed off staircase. The wood was splintered and the staircase was stopped in mid rotation.
As the duo entered the library they heard a sob come from the back of the library. Curious, Ciel headed to the back and saw Seamus Finnigan with his head between his knees and shoulders shaking. His faces was red and streaked with tears and clutched tightly in his hands was a crumpled piece of parchment.
"May I ask what's wrong?" Ciel asked after fidgeting for several minutes, he had hoped that Seamus would've taken notice
"Oh Ciel, its terrible me mum, she, she was hit by a muggle car! She died on impact!" Seamus wailed, the librarian just gave a sympathetic look and turned back to her work.
"What about your father?" Ciel asked
"He left after finding out she was a witch, and me mum's family disowned her for marrying a muggle, they'll send me off to an orphanage." Seamus sobbed
Ciel exchanged a look with Sebastian, receiving a nod in return Ciel made up his decision.
"Err you could come live in my manor I suppose, we've been-" Ciel was cut off by a pair of arms squeezing him tightly
"Oh thank you Ciel! I'll make it up to you! I know, I can cook!" Seamus said
Sebastian's eyes widened slightly, seeing the boy's performance in classes, well let's just say the Manor would once again be rocked by explosions. At least they had someone that could be trained to protect the manor when they were on a mission.
"Would you mind letting me go now, class starts soon and I'm finding it difficult to breathe." Ciel gasped
"Oh right sorry." Seamus said rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. His eyes still red and puffy
"Excuse me my lord, but class begins in five minutes on the Quidditch Pitch." Sebastian said
"Oh right well best be off, I'll be seeing you later Finnigan." Ciel said before pivoting on his heel and marching off to the Quidditch Pitch.
-o~O~o-
Ciel stepped onto the pitch and felt the autumn breeze ruffle his silky blue strands, he listened to Madame Hooch's instructions and stared blankly at the broom in front of him and thought 'up' He figured that Sebastian might as well try to dig up more information seeing as they'd hit a dead end in their investigation, after all what good would it do to have Sebastian here?
The broom flew up and into his hand, with a satisfied smirk Ciel observed the other students. The redheaded boy, Ronald Weasley was currently having a staring contest with his broom, shouting up every few minutes. All it really did was roll from side to side. Only Malfoy, Finnigan, and two other people were able to get there broom to rise. Longbottom's didn't move at all, of course he seemed to be unwilling to leave the ground.
"Now mount your brooms like so." Madame Hooch said. Ciel did so and smirked slightly at the fact that both Weasley and Malfoy had been mounting their brooms wrong. Serves those annoying pricks for being so bloody irritating. Ciel gave a huff before starting at the piercing shriek Longbottom gave as the broom he was on flew upwards in a jerky fashion. Ciel blinked twice before giving a slight wince at the snapping sound. Ouch Longbottom must have landed badly on his wrist.
Ciel watched quietly as the Professor escorted Longbottom to the hospital wing before listenng to the ongoing argument the Slytherins and Gryffindor's were having.
"Haha! Look at Longbottom, he fell right on his fat arse!" Malfoy cackled gleefully. Joy another Alois Trancy.
"Oh shut it Malfoy!" Weasley snapped back
"Now, now children, let's behave civilly, we don't want to look a bunch of miscreants." Ciel said calmly
"Can you repeat that in English?" Weasley asked
"That was English, you have more money than brains Weasley, and that's saying something." Malfoy said snarkily
"Lovely, we're back right to where we started, next thing you know and one of you will pull an extremely stunt and expect me to do something heroic." Ciel muttered to himself.
"Well if you're so smart, then what'll you do about this!" Malfoy said as he flung Longbottoms rememberall in the air.
Ciel watched unamused as Weasley chased after the ball unsuccessfully before incanting "Accio." In a clear voice.
The magical trinket flew straight into Ciel's hand, and Ciel looked at the orb in confusion. It had been clear while being summoned but now it was clouded by a gold smoke. The same had happened when Malfoy had held it.
"Hold this for a second I want to test something." Ciel said turning to Seamus and deposited the trinket in the Gryffindor's hands. The orb stayed the same clouded gold.
"That's weird, I have no idea what I could be forgetting, and the colors all wrong too." Seamus said thoughtfully.
"Interesting." Ciel murmured before placing the orb into Anthony Goldsteins hands.
The Sphere immediately cleared of the gold smoke. "It doesn't seem broken, see." Anthony said before placing it into Michael Corners hands and watched as it filled with red smoke.
"What did I forget?" Michael yelped rummaging through his book bag panicked. "Oh no my Herbology gloves!"
"You left your Herbology gloves on your night stand, don't worry I have them here." Anthony said before passing the gloves to his dorm mate.
"Thanks!" Michael said while Ciel gave a quiet snort, honestly it's no wonder Ravenclaw's were stereotyped as the typical nerd. Corner could've borrowed a pair from Sprout, honestly it's not like she didn't have extras. Of course they were all pink, but they were gloves.
"I'm back, and I see that you all behaved yourselves, no dangerous stunts either. Now mount your brooms and on the whistle push off the ground." Madame Hooch ordered, Ciel quickly pocketed the trinket before turning back to the hawk eyed woman. Eyes like those were probably from brewing the animagus potion incorrectly.
"1, 2, 3, push!"
Ciel pushed his feet off the ground, shooting into the air like the others. Ciel smiled softly as the wind tousled his hair and drifted above the clouds watching the others. He gave a snicker as he saw Malfoy and Weasley having a competition on who was the better flyer. Ciel didn't know who to root for as the pair started doing twirls and dives.
Ouch! Weasley just collided with the wall. Looks like Madame Hooch had to escort another student to the hospital wing. Ciel flew down in a corkscrew spiral before pulling up sharply and slowed to a stop as everyone else drifted down slowly, if you discounted Malfoy who was already on the field crying tears of laughter.
"Mr. Potter! I said no dangerous stunts!" Madame Hooch screeched.
'Lovely, she thinks I'm having an identity crisis as well.' Ciel scowled before calmly replying
"That was hardly dangerous, in fact I have full confidence that I would have escaped unscathed no matter what, and honestly it's Phantomhive! It's of higher social standing then Potter therefore I'm supposed to be referred to as Mr. Phantomhive-Potter if you really want to add Potter into that." Ciel said blankly, he had gotten far too used to being referred to as Harry or Potter. Neither was really true, considering the fact that Harry wasn't even his middle name, and who refers to someone by their middle names, nickname anyways?
"Mr. Phantomhive! That was amazing! You must join the Ravenclaws quidditch team!" Professor Flitwick said running as fast his legs could carry him
"Hello Professor, how did you see that? Ravenclaw towers on the other side of the castle." Ciel asked curiously
"I was in Minerva's office, she always picks the one that has the best view of the first years flying lessons." Flitwick replied
"Interesting, and I'll have to think on it." Ciel said before flicking his wand, sending it back to the rack. Pivoting on his foot Ciel walking towards the greenhouses.
"Oh it appears to be time for the next class." Flitwick said checking his watch before scurrying off towards the charms room.
-o~O~o-
"Quidditch, sounds stupider than cricket. Honestly having two balls that can kill you flying around in the air, trying to knock you off your broom when you're a couple hundred feet on the air." Ciel scowled
"Come now Bocchan it's a sport that is well loved by the wizarding world, and I heard that the MVP gets a special luncheon with the elusive professor Thanatos off school grounds, a regular first year and a prefect is chosen." Sebastian said
"Why only three people? Well four if you think about it. Why so specific as well?" Ciel asked curiously
"We shall see bocchan but for now your best chance of being selected is through quidditch." Sebastian said as he poured Ciel a cup of tea.
"It's only seven months, and then we can go home to the manor. Don't forget to teach Seamus his duties." Ciel sighed as he stared at the tea resting undisrupted in his cup. So smooth and simple, no unnecessary ripples and everything was blended smoothly, no missing pieces, just . . . at peace.
Receiving his past memories had been nice. The gold smoke probably meant reincarnated souls. After all the only time the rememberall filled with smoke was if you forgot something and he supposed that losing your past life's memories counted under that category as well. But that trinket had to have more functions then that didn't it? What good does it do if it tells you that you're forgetting something, but not what you're forgetting?
Ciel gave another sigh as he examined the orb. He would give it back to Longbottom later, but for now it would serve as a reminder. Was Malfoy a reincarnation of Alois Trancy or of someone else, though? The gold smoke had filled the orb for him and Finnigan. Finnigan who was so similar to Bardroy, and Malfoy who had a few similarities to Alois as well.
Sometimes he wondered what would happen after all this was over and done with, after all the schooling would be nearly a full year of being unable to investigate and get revenge. Of course it also meant one more year of being able to stay alive. Right optimism, yippee. That DADA professor was oddly familiar, something niggling at the back of his mind telling him that he should know! Sebastian seemed unable to talk to the man, meaning that he was able to outrun the demon. He knew it was possible for wizards to apparate but it's impossible inside the castle.
The man never spoke in classes either, he simply wrote on the board and flicked his wand every few minutes to get the chalk to right another question.
"A knut for your thoughts, bocchan?" Sebastian asked
"Make it a treacle tart and you've got yourself a deal." Ciel said with a wry smile
"Of course bocchan." Sebastian said before leaving Ciel to his thoughts.
It was late November so Ravenclaw had to be doing terribly if they were asking for a first year to play, he supposed it couldn't be too bad. He would just have to excel and use some dirty tricks. After all he was still fairly light as it had only been a bit over a year since the years of malnutrition. He wouldn't be able to gain a lot over a year but over time he should be in near perfect health. The asthma he had developed from being stuck in that hell hole for a few months would probably stay with him for the rest of his life.
Perhaps if he was to break the trinket, the smoke could unlock the rest of his memories? He couldn't break this though, it was Longbottoms and the Gryffindors would hold it against him for smashing the object.
"I am back with your tart young master." Sebastian said as he walked into the room.
"Sebastian order one of these through owl post. I want to see its full potential." Ciel said as he twirled the silver fork in his hand, looking at the artfully garnished treat.
"Of course bocchan. I will do so as soon as possible." Sebastian said before once again leaving Ciel to his thoughts.
It was too stuffy in here, perhaps a walk outdoors would do him good. Ciel thought to himself as he put on his coat, carefully putting each button in its corresponding hole. Wouldn't do well to button the jacket incorrectly and look like an idiot.
Ciel began to roam the school grounds, wrinkling his nose slightly as large clumps of snowflakes landed on his nose causing it to twitch.
"Ciel! Wait up! I've been looking for you!" Finnigan gasped as he ran after the bluenette
"Oh it's you." Ciel said as he turned around to face the sandy blonde
"Do you umm you know, know what the gold smoke in the rememberall meant? I've asked others but they didn't know, I've asked everyone but Snape, Thanatos, and professor Dumbledore." Seamus said
"It means you are a reincarnated soul." Ciel settled on, he figured that if he told the boy the truth it couldn't hurt.
"But isn't everyone a reincarnated soul or something?" Seamus asked
"Well yes, but I'm sure there's more to it. I'll let you know if I find out more. Now tell me have you been having any strange dreams? Perhaps of events that you don't remember experiencing?" Ciel asked
"Well I had this strange one of being in this manor. I was cooking in the kitchen using a flamethrower on something when suddenly the kitchen exploded! Then a butler that looked similar to Sebastian walked in and told me he'd handle preparations. Bloody show off. Whatever I cooked was great, you just had to peel off the extra crispy shell!" Seamus huffed
Ciel had to stifle a snort there. This was most definitely Bardroy, the American accent may be gone but the attitude was still there.
"Is that so, well you'll be coming to the manor during winter and summer break. Try to refrain from completely obliterating my kitchen, I only have two." Ciel said
"Why do you have two kitchens?!" Seamus asked flabbergasted
"Apparently back in the late 1800's the previous Ciel Phantomhives chef was terrible and had a separate kitchen for him to cook in. The second kitchen was used by the butler to create meals. Perhaps my manor's the one from your dreams." Ciel said already knowing it was. Best not to reveal how much he knew.
-o~O~o-
I apologise for this being late. I have four projects and had several rehearsals to prepare for the Christmas concert. It's snowing like crazy where I live. Hopefully it knocks out the power lines in my schools area, which would be nice. Anyways could you tell me if and where I killed the Dursleys? I can't seem to recall when and where. Any questions, or requests?
The titles Gilded Amnesia because they've forgotten their past lives, and from those people the orb turned gold. Just in case you didn't get the title.
As you can see the canon of Harry Potter book one is over since after this it goes into the whole Philosopher's stone spiel. This arc only has about three chapters left. I'll have a summer arc before starting year two. Any errors and typos please point out.
Suggestions are welcome and I've decided to do an every fiftieth? Yes fiftieth reviewer can request a one shot which may or may not extend into an actual story depending on my mood. If they don't want to that's fine by me. I just don't write smut. Aright I'll shut up now. So reviewer number 150, if you have a request then go for it. I only do Harry Potter, Kuroshitsuji, and Hetalia. Crossover requests are accepted. I'm still new to anime, so don't sic the inferi on me!
Expect my next update from the 25th-Jan 6th or something. I am a student.
Anyways Till next time Ash Salvia
