Notes
: As a friend of mine has stated, there are certain languages that seemed to not be used often. This is because you don't hear them as much; Balthezar's main languages of use are Old English and Old Norse. You see that he only uses the others depending on who he's talking to. Now this doesn't mean that languages like Latin or Old Welsh will disappear, it just means he's not necessarily around the people who speak them. Don't worry however; there are parts of this story that will still call for the other languages.

Modern English: "…"
Old English: ^…^
Old Norse: -…-
Old Welsh: *…*
Latin: ~…~
Parseltongue: Bold!
Thoughts: '…' (all thoughts, doesn't matter language)

Chapter 27

Balthezar sighed as he was called up to the headmaster's office. He knew that the man wished to speak with him, just not what it was about. He only hoped that it wasn't about the Quetzalcoatl. He began walking towards the office, having refused the help to be shown where it was by a professor. He was glad that he didn't have to deal with the idea of being a first year, for he thought that would be embarrassing. After all, he had never been in the situation of getting lost in the school. He just assumed that the office was in the same place as it had been in the past.

Yet, he got stopped on his way there. It was Draco that had stopped him. He glared at the teen. He still didn't like Draco or the teen's cowardly father. He whipped his wand out and pointed it at the blonde. Draco held up his hands in a way that said he was harmless. Balthezar knew differently and didn't budge. Draco sighed. ~I came to tell you that what father did was wrong. He was a coward. Cowardice is a horrible trait for a Malfoy to have. I can't condone that type of behaviour. I want us to enter an alliance. I'm not going to follow my coward of a father.~ He stopped speaking. Balthezar stared at him.

The truth was that he had no idea what to say. He definitely knew that he didn't trust Draco. The boy was too much like his father for the Slytherin to trust him. In fact, it made what Draco was saying even less trustworthy. He knew that Draco was likely only trying to align himself with a strong person. That idea was enough to amuse Balthezar. He liked that Draco apparently thought of him as powerful, for that was something that he could hold over the blonde's head if he had wanted to. He sighed and decided that accepting the offer would at least allow him to keep a direct eye on the teen's actions. He didn't like being watched by an unknown factor, which was what Draco was in that moment. ~Fine, but you're not on my immediate ally list.~ Draco nodded and walked off. Balthezar glared at Draco's back. He didn't trust Draco even more after that. It was fishy, but he stood by his decision. He would continue to watch Draco. He wasn't going to allow himself be taken again. He just wouldn't.

Founders' Era

Salazar couldn't believe where he was. It had been three years since he had helped the werewolves move into the forest. Yet, he didn't expect to end up mated to one and holding their first child. Salazar was completely stunned. He looked at his mate, a woman that he had finally learned was named Serena, and saw that she was smiling. He had also learned that the old woman was right about the fact that Serena had an angelic voice. However, his attention was diverted by the cooing sound that came from his child. He returned to looking at his daughter, completely unaware that it would be her that led his line to becoming head of the clan.

Serena smiled again. ^So, what should she be named?^ Salazar looked at her, stunned. He hadn't thought about any names. He hadn't named Dorian. In fact, the only child he had ever named was Balthezar. Yet, Salazar's mind ended up drifting over to how Dorian had managed to draw Godric out of the castle a few times. It caused him to be even more nervous, as he wondered how long it would take Dorian to realize that Salazar was still alive. He looked at his daughter again. He knew that Serena had seriously asked him the question. He tried to think of a name.

A name suddenly came into his mind. ^How about Psyche?^ He looked at Serena. She smiled and nodded. Psyche yawned and fell asleep. He looked back at his daughter. ^I'm going to do everything I can to help you turn out right.^ Serena touched his arm. He looked at her. He then knew that he would have help, which was something that he was very grateful for. He knew that he would need it. Of that there was no doubt.

A/N: Well, new chapter. Yes, a jump on Salazar's end, but that's what was meant to happen. Hope that you enjoy. Later.
