I own nothing
Draco thrashed, twitched and screamed as the black coloured torture curse slammed into him and took him off his feet. "Why do you disturb my meditations young Draco? Did you do as I requested and bring the Bell family to our side?"
"No my lord…" Draco began he saw the black light appear on the end of the sceptre of death. "…But I have information that is crucial about Potter my lord. I saw it with my own eyes and I swear on my mother's family motto Toujours Pur that what I have to say I believe is relevant."
Voldemort stopped in his tracks, to swear on a family motto was serious magic. As head of the disgraced but still ancient and noble house of Gaunt whose motto was 'Wait like a Mamba and strike like a Python'. "Speak."
"Potter and the Bell's daughter are bonded my lord. When two magical's bond the weaker of the two gains a power boost if they are weaker and if the other lacks control gains it…They balance each other out…What I saw was when I confronted Potter in front of Patriarch and Lord Bell, Potter's eyes changed to cobalt blue."
Voldemort was about to launch another crucio when he heard 'cobalt blue'. "Cobalt blue? How much of his eyes changed?"
"It was only briefly my lord but I definitely saw his pupils and the green reverse I think."
"Interesting…So Potter is bonded and has come into a power boost that changes his eyes when his temper is roused…Curious indeed. Do you have any ideas?"
Draco didn't move "I don't know my lord…This sounds ridiculous but he could potentially be an aethermancer…" He braced himself for a round of the cruciatus curse.
"Potter…an aethermancer? Your information is intriguing despite it not being as useful as it could be but it has given me more ways to make Potter more obedient…Send for aunt and uncles and Ravenmould, time for that slippery eel to prove his loyalty."
Erasmus Ravenmould was an avid pureblood researcher. If it's a story you're looking for he's probably known of it and got it or knows someone who has. His eagerness for knowledge has led him on a very dangerous path frequently crossing with the Death Eaters. He didn't want involvement in the war but he wanted to survive.
He looked up from his expansive and expensive maghony desk to his ward detector to find Voldemort walking towards his front door. Erasmus quickly let the temperamental sorcerer in, the quicker this was done the quicker he could feel happier.
"Lord Slytherin what can I do for you? Please have a seat. Can I offer you a drink?"
"Firewhiskey if you would be so kind, I have some questions about rumours that I would like answered." Erasmus nodded and fortified his considerable mental shields and he poured a massive tumbler of Ogden's Horntail 1889.
"Of course Lord Slytherin but I request one thing in return."
"Neutrality and payment you set the same terms the last four times myself or a messenger came to you." Replied Voldemort silkily.
"That is correct Lord Slytherin. Now how can the Scholars of Ravenmould be of service?"
"Aethermancer's…Any sort of information is it genetic or not? Any tell-tale signs."
Erasmus smirked like a shark, Voldemort's eyes widened at the man's sudden change in demeanour.
"Aethermancer's now that is possibly the easiest thing you've asked me for. You're investigations into immortality were harder. Yes I know about them. Merlyn Emerys was the first supposedly, they are a counter balance when the balance of light and dark tilt in opposite directions one awakens. The first sign is bright jewel like eyes typically green or blue which appear in either the mother or father. The parents tend to die within fifteen months of the child being born and are raised in bleak households/orphanages or just in dire times…Their skills are unknown but their wrath is tremendous. My three times great grandmother was one she could bring a firestorm down upon her enemies, I suppose that is one skill tremendous magical-nature manipulation, the ability to cast spells with a gesture of their hand…They are also made when the one they are destined to beat destroys their families."
Voldemort stared at the well-built man "So I created the aethermancer?"
"No Lord Slytherin, I would hypothesize it was your reckless quest of horocruxes that created the Aethermancer. I warned you when I said the Bangladeshi paths to immortality would disrupt the balance…The bright jewel eyes either go Green-Blue or Blue-Green. If they bond then their powers are unprecedented because the stupid idiots get themselves killed off."
"Too defeat them?"
"Just because they have this power at their fingertips doesn't mean they'll know how to use it…Experience and power. This Aethermancer is young very young probably still at school…Anything else?"
"Just one thing Avada Kedavra, just cleaning up after myself."
With that Voldemort downed the whiskey and left. The body dissolved into blood and Erasmus walked out of the shadows. "Idiot…It's time for me to go. Perenelle my dear, our time as the Ravenmould's is over we need to go."
Nicholas Octavian Flamel smirked, he had become immortal. Completely accidently but the aether had commended him on his massive leaps in magic and had rewarded him and his wife of immortality. He had double crossed more darkwizards and witches than most and all with the same Japanese trick the Blood Clone spell.
Soon enough a massive eighteen wheeler left the driveway and merged with M4 and departed to another body. Over seven centuries of life does have advantages. Nicholas opened up the glove compartment and found an ancient treatise on Aethermancer's "Aether bless you Harry Potter…We'll be in touch soon enough."
Back at the Burrow, Katie was holding Nathanial close to her whilst leaning against Harry who was dozing with his head on the tree. Suddenly his eyes snapped open and were cobalt. "What were you dreaming about?"
Cobalt eyes looked at violet before they faded back to green and brown "He who has no decency to remain dead has found out about Aethermancer's. He's insane but he's a genius, it won't take him long to clock on."
"What will you do?"
"Erase him from the earth…Just need to find the spells suitable…Something tells me he's done something vile to himself." Harry replied as smoke appeared from his ears.
"Take it easy love…You'll win. You've done it before and you can do it again…Ooh nasty. Come on Harry time for you to help me with your fatherly duty nappy changing."
Harry nodded and pulled himself up before pulling Katie up and pulled her to him and kissed her on the forehead. "Promise me the moment something to your family happens I don't care what you get yourself out."
Katie nodded "Will do…Just make sure you beat the bastard."
Harry snorted "I have a feeling I will. I always have known."
