Disturbing Discovery

The next morning was an amusing sight for Hyperion. His older brother had yet to meet his familiar, so when Nuru had slithered across the dining room his brother had shrieked like a banshee in fright. Hyperion had honestly never laughed so hard in his life, but the surprising bit had come through when Tom had talked to his familiar.

"You're a Parseltongue!" Hyperion shouted and delight before jumping around the boy.

"Yes, Hyperion."

"That means I am not the only one. I wonder if we are distantly related because that would be so cool. Do you think Nuru's pretty too? I love her scales! Father says that her breed is really rare and that it was such a special thing to bond with her." Hyperion said in rush before he stopped jumping all over the place and settled on his target.

"Nuru? Isn't that elven for death?" Hyperion paused for a moment with his brows scrunched together in thought before he nodded.

"It just came to me like Padfoot's name did." Hyperion admitted in a small voice as if it was a secret.

"Padfoot?" Tom asked.

"Padfoot is my Magical Guardian. Currently he is sleeping in his sphere, but I think he was just being lazy today." Hyperion said before giggling.

Abraxas watched the two with an amusement before he looked at his friend, "Why didn't you say you were a Parseltongue?"

Tom's face darkened a little bit, "Dumbledore said that I would be shunned if I told people of my gift." Tom admitted.

Armand raised in eyebrow at the comment and his wife, Isobel, paused in her eating to look at Tom with scrutiny. "All gifts are a blessing, child. Even those like Necromancy are a blessing in their own right. Never be ashamed of your gift. If Britain will not have you than others will." Isobel said before pursuing her lips into a thin line. "I wonder why Dumbledore would say that."

"Well he seems to be paying attention to Tom more than he should. I told our Head of House that Tom had been abused in the orphanage, but Professor Dumbledore told our Head of House Slughorn that he was just over exaggerating. He also stalks Tom in the hall ways and always takes points for no reason." Abraxas admitted with a grimace.

"Is this true, Tom?" Armand face had darkened in anger.

"Yes. I feel very uncomfortable around him and sometime my head hurts when I'm around him for long periods of time." If possible then Armand's face darkened into rage at Tom's words.

He sighed before drawing a breath of air, "Tomorrow I will get pensive memories and will we call a meeting of the board members to discuss Dumbledore's behavior. Now on a brighter note are you boys ready for today?"

Today would be the day that Hyperion and Tom would be taking their inheritance test to see if they had any special infinities, creature blood, or even vaults that they had inherited. Both boy's nodded and Armand smiled.
