Here's the next chapter. Please read and review love Moon x
Dean was concerned as Harry hadn't come back to class yet. It was at the end of his lessons that Professor McGonagall came to get him and took him to her office where a less tired Harry was now waiting. "Come in Mr Thomas. Mr Potter was involved in a small incident earlier but he is ok now. He may choose to tell you about it himself if he likes as it is not my place to do so. Have a seat boys. I will now pass each of you a blood quill with which you should write your full name on these parchments here!" she said sliding silver parchments over to them.
"Thank you Ma'am. I will tell you about it myself later Dean. Let's sign these things as I am interested to see what they say!" he said as Severus and Filius came in at that moment to witness the results. They both wrote down on their parchments and waited for the results.
"Mr Thomas Professor Flitwick tells me you have excellent wandless abilities. How is that?" Severus asked Dean who smiled.
"Well actually I knew Harry before we came to school here for many years. When he discovered I also had magic he started to teach me wandless magic. I will never be as good as him but I can certainly hold my own for a little while anyway" he replied not sure how to take the compliments he was receiving.
"I am afraid despite what you think Dean Wandless magic cannot be taught. I have a theory though that you may have had a block on your core" said Filius seriously.
"He does!" Minerva gasped as she read his parchment to herself before remembering where she was and handing it over to Dean himself who read it and gasped. He was shocked to the core. It said his father Will was a squib born into the Shafiq family and disowned for that reason when he was then adopted by the Thomas family. When Dean had been a baby and had shown extremely strong magic he was fed a potion to block off sixty percent of his core. Lord Shafiq was now dead so it would rest on Dean's shoulders to become the new Lord Shafiq as soon as possible. This way the line wouldn't die out. That wasn't all though because it turned out his mother was also a squib by coincidence and so he had gone from Muggleborn to pureblood in an instant. Her family were the Nott family. He was essentially the direct first cousin of Theodore and was happy about it. He had brushed Theodore off but hadn't done it in a nasty way so there was still hope to be friends with him.
"This does cause problems though as his mother was born first. This means when the current Lord Nott dies the Lordship will automatically go to Dean unless he says something about it!" Severus said seriously as he didn't want to be involved in a pureblood family dispute but might be if he wasn't careful.
"Excuse me but can't Theodore come here too and take a test himself now? That way we can decide what to do together. I would never wish to overstep any boundaries he may or may not have!" he asked as a stunned Theodore was called to her office where he filled out his own parchment and sat there wondering what it was all about and why everyone looked so very nervous. Was he not pureblood anymore or something? If he was he'd freak out as it was all he knew. Seeing their faces he was terrified. What if it was something his father would hate him for?
"Please read me my results Professor as I don't want to read them myself in case there is anything in there my father would not approve of!" he said sounding slightly panicked.
"Calm down Mr Nott. I will indeed. This here says you are the first cousin of Mr Thomas here who's father was a squib as was his mother. He's essentially a pureblood now. Also he has had his core blocked off which is why he might have seemed to suddenly be good at wandless magic. You have a choice to make Mr Nott!" she said pausing and regarding him for a moment as he squirmed before she continued.
"As his lineage dictates Mr Thomas will now be legally required to change his name to Shafiq as it should have always been. Now he was destined to be the new Lord Nott after the current lord dies your grandfather actually. However as he is already now Lord Shafiq he wanted to you have the first choice for the new Lord Nott! As this document says for reasons he is not willing to get into your grandfather has decreed that the new Lord to succeed him must be his grandchild as your father disgraced him so much. I don't know what that's about but if you did choose to become the new Lord Nott you would become said Lord as soon as he dies. What would you like to do?" she asked as he looked as Dean in awe.
"Well Dean, welcome to the family I guess. I don't know you but I am willing to try for the sake of the family and all that. Also thank you for thinking of me first. I wouldn't have liked it if you didn't and I am thankful you were smart. I would prefer to become the new Lord Nott myself if you don't mind!" he said addressing Dean who smiled at him.
"Not at all Theodore. I just thought it would be polite to ask you about it since it's your family too!" he said as his new Shafiq Lord Ring was passed to him. The ring was gold and had an image of a half moon with a cauldron and some stars in the middle of it while the name Shafiq was on the outside. As he placed it on the ring finger of his right hand it melded with the ring that Harry had given him for protection and there was a huge blast sound as he was covered in smoke. When the smoke went away he was slightly taller and had a deeper tan to his skin. He looked very Arabic or Indian if one could even say that. Harry gasped at him in awe.
"Was there anything else Professor it's just that I'm doing your homework and I need to finish it!" said Theodore blushing as she smirked at him.
"Yes just one more thing and then you may go. You will receive notification and a new key in the mail tomorrow as your grandfather changed things around with his accounts last week and has designated a new special account for you solely. You may go now and thank you!" she said dismissing him as Severus smiled at him. He left at once. He wouldn't be telling anyone about it unless Dean said he could first. Back in her office Minerva turned to Harry and picked up his parchment before gasping and dropping it again. She collected herself and picked it up again.
"Harry you are the new Lord Slytherin, Lord Peverell and heir to the house of Black. As you may not know you need to become Lord Potter now as those who inherit from more then one family become a lord to said house at once. Here are your rings. Put them on one by one slowly and allow them all to amalgamate into one ring!" she said sliding the four boxes over to him as he gasped. He was stunned he'd never have realised he could ever be a lord asides from Lord Potter that is. He gradually put on all of the rings one by one as Terrence was ecstatic in his mind. He'd be able to do way more then he ever had. He'd be showing off in his neighbourhood as soon as he could in the future too. He was himself shrouded by smoke as a huge burst noise was heard. Clearly his core had not been entirely full either. Again Dumbledore's doing. That man would cease at nothing to have control.
When the smoke cleared he was much taller and had shaggy hair now. His eyes were one shade darker green and lost their killer green colour. He felt amazing. Elsewhere people were preparing for the trial of Albus Dumbledore and Elphias Doge was complaining saying that Dumbledore of all people couldn't be that bad. He even went as far as to say that he was sick of people constantly forgetting that he'd beaten Grindelwald for them. He was swiftly informed that no one had forgotten it they were just here for other reasons. He was soon told to shut up or get out so he shut up. This would be an interesting trial for sure.
