A/N: hello my fellow reader sorry for the long wait for an update for The Reformed Dice I got lost on the road of life and I nearly lost that spark to continue this fanfic but I found it again so I do hope you enjoy this chapter.
In the Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge the Minister of Magic, and his department were running around like headless chickens...well more than usual? Why? All of a sudden the seats that were formally belongs to the Peverell's the Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, we're activating and glowing meaning there was a new Lord but something else happened that catch The Minister's eye was that Potter and Black's Seats seem to glow and change to the Insignia to the Peverell. But how Those houses had died out it seems that one of the families has come back and claimed their seats and seized control of the Potters and Black families. Cornelius knew he had to get the new Lord Peverell on his side, he could be unstoppable politically! He had to find where the new lord was! Where was he? Maybe at Gringotts? the minister of magic nodes to himself and rushed out to Gringotts not noticing that Arthur Weasley watched the minister of magic run out the building.
In Hogwarts, the old meddling fool was almost pulling his beard. First, his wand was malfunctioning, he hadn't lost the allegiance of it. He didn't do anything! Then Arthur came bustling in saying that somehow the Peverell the Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw seats had activated in wizengamot and that meant there was a Lord Peverell and that same Lord has seized the potters and Black families that explained his wand, but how did it change allegiance? None of the previous lords could do that! but he also realizes that he lost control over the potters and Black families' fortune and their artifacts. The old man knew he had to get to the new lord, he held great power in his hands. Hands that should be his! He could easily convert the lord to see his greater good, it was vitally necessary that Voldemort never got his hands on the lord. Arthur also mentioned that the Minister was heading to Gringotts, well that's where he was headed!
After settling everything Dice said his farewells to Blornok "may your enemies tremble before you."
The goblin smiled at the strange wizard, "and may your gold always flow." Dice beamed he started to love their sayings he wonders he can learn Gobbledegook it seems better than translating all the time. The goblins watched as the man left their establishment, they had promised to keep a close eye on the young lord. Blornok made his way to the director about their new client.

Dice decided to enjoy the cool air of July on his walk when he got enough of the outdoors, he would apparate, to his new home Peverell A castle which he would have to work on in getting it to be habitable. And as his luck would have it, he heard chirping and growls what seems to be a cry for help, he could tell by its tone that it was in distress. 'mamma, daddy, where are you…sniff' Dice heart broke after hearing the small cries of this animal, reminded him of his childhood, he walks towards the direction of the small cries he found himself in a small clearing not knowing where the small cries are coming from. Dice waited and listen if he could pinpoint where are the small crying coming from, he could locate the creature and, in a few minutes, he heard the cry again and it led him to a small Den. Dice crouched down to look into the den what he found was a strange little creature it kind of looks like a bear but has an owl's head crying for its parents, there was something else that Dice notice that this cub is been without its parents for some time. He thought they did not return, or they abandoned the cub, or they were killed or captured.
This made his heartache in sadness he couldn't leave this small creature alone as his parents abandon him, "Hey, there, little fella everything's going to be fine." After he said that, the little creature turned around looking at him without hesitation it ran up to him. Dice carefully pick up the small cub into his arms as the little cub gazing up at him with its soul in its golden yellow eyes. that's when Dice felt a sudden shock, course throughout his body as he was struck by lightning then a strange, wondrous, spreading warmth filled him at once and collapsed. The little wayward owlbear cub then yawned and curled up on Dice's chest and soon fell asleep.
Back at Gringotts main foyer Time: about 15 minutes after Dice had left
"I demand to see Ragnok this instant!" a blustering Minister yelled at the goblin at the teller counter.
Blornok rarely got this much fun. His usual job was to deal with arrogant wizards who swaggered in here and then break them down piece by piece and watch them blubber like a spoiled child denied his favorite toy. It was hilarious to him to see the Minister of Magic hyperventilate and enter full-blown panic, alternate between a fool and incompetent.
"King Ragnok is not someone you can command wizard," the teller told very slowly like he was explaining to a baby, "Unlike you, he has duties that he has to attend to and fulfill," he said snidely and took a dig at the Minister who blanched and turned red.
"Also don't forget who keeps records of certain "donations" to your account," the accountant said sharply and Fudge deflated like a pufferfish. The goblins only dealt this to secure their place in the wizarding world and to keep a safety card to pull out it the minister decided to cut away goblin rights.
"J-just tell," he said but the goblin gave him a glare and he shivered in fear, "ask him to come as soon as possible"
"Your request is noted," the goblin said and Fudge wiped off some sweat from his brow. He needed help, this was out of his depth. He had no patience to deal with goblins, he needed help. He sent an owl to Lucius when he got the news but where was he!
The flames from the fires of the floo fireplace glowed bright green and Dumbledore quickly rushed out of the fireplace.
"Dumbledore?" Fudge said and looked relieved, finally some help.
"Ah, Cornelius, my boy," Dumbledore said in his grandfather's tone, "I just received word of the new Lord Peverell, my sources said he had something to relate him to Gringotts. I was most eager to meet this new lord"
"Thank Merlin, Dumbledore," Cornelius said, "I sent word to Lucius but I haven't heard back from him yet. The goblins won't let me see Ragnok" he whined.
Dumbledore frowned, Lucius? Cornelius referred to him first, which meant that silver snake had the minister's ear again and must have made some extra "donations" to him. Cornelius was a bribe-loving fool and it really was a mystery how he how got elected but since he was easy to control he had no problems. He couldn't get rid of Cornelius because he would be hard-pressed to find a candidate that was as easy to control as him but it would not do to have someone else control the Minister. He put that dilemma out of his mind, first, he had to get to Lord Peverell.
"Teller, we require the immediate audience of King Ragnok," Dumbledore said in his normal tone and voice as if he was the pope.
"Shut up and take a seat and wait like this moron" the teller snapped and pointed to the Minister who spluttered with rage.
Dumbledore frowned, he hated dealing with goblins. They were impossible to co-operate with and were always rejecting ideals of the greater good, they focused on every individual rather than victory as a whole. That was why they were brought to the brink of extinction, fools. They refuse to learn from their mistakes and must be kept naturally below wizards.
"I don't think you understand teller, we need to see King Ragnok inquire of the new Lord among the ranks of wizards," Dumbledore said and stressed wizards to subtly imply that this was none of their business.
"You think we're idiots," the goblin said with a deadpan, and Dumbledore frowned that the conversation was not going where he wanted, "We knew about the Peverell lord before you, don't you think we have important business to conduct with him as well. Unlike you, the Peverell lord is re-establishing the alliance of the Peverells and the Goblin nation and the Lord and the King are not to be disturbed at all, under any circumstances. I will not repeat again, sit down and wait like the other moron".
Dumbledore was pensieve, the new lord had a relation to the goblins? It was long held clear that goblins were a race that hated wizards with a passion but there was an alliance? The goblins are powerful in their own right to be able to forge weapons and channel magic in ways that elude wizards. All the more reason to find this new lord and to get him on his side, someone who can sway goblins would be utterly invaluable and he wouldn't need to find a way to influence Bill Weasley if this new Lord could influence the goblin nation to a greater extent.
Suddenly the flames of the fires of the floo fireplace glowed green and out emerged a composed Lucius Malfoy. He was dressed in a smart wizarding suit and had his cane with a diamond serpent on the handle. With blond hair and a pale aristocratic face, he stepped out of the fireplace and sneered at the goblins at the entrance. He walked out and saw Cornelius, the moron, and Dumbledore and forced a smile onto his face.
"Ah Cornelius, you sent word for my counsel," Lucius said smoothly and put stress on "my" to dig into Dumbledore, whose brows furrowed.
"Lucius thank Merlin," Cornelius said, "There's been a new Lord Peverell and the seat activated. We can't even find the lord but apparently he's having some alliance talk with Ragnok" blurted out before Dumbledore could stop him.
The gears in Lucius's head were whirring. A lord of the Peverell house? That was arguably one of the most prestigious houses in wizarding history. The lord forged an alliance with the goblins, which was nearly impossible but to have a powerful ally like that was impressive. He could see why Dumbledore wanted to show up, the new lord was to be his prey. That could not be allowed to happen, with that Lord on his side he could be a political force to be reckoned with. A member of such a noble house would know the pureblood ways and beliefs and to forge an alliance with the Goblins meant the lord was intelligent and wouldn't be fooled by the old fool Dumbledore and his greater good nonsense. This was a great day to be him.
"Drat," Dumbledore thought. Lucius was here that meant that the serpent could get the new lord to ally with Voldemort when he returns. If that happens then catastrophe could ensue and the new lord might have the allegiance of the elder wand as well. That couldn't be allowed to happen, he could not let the new lord fall into the dark.
"Minister, perhaps we should enquire to the teller where we can find the new lord. He must be inducted into the wizengamot and perhaps we can have a private meeting with him to establish relations" Lucius said smoothly and Cornelius nodded but before he could speak...
"All hail the arrival of King Ragnok," a goblin said as he opened a large golden door, and out came King Ragnok in golden robes with a large G emblazoned on the back of his clothes.
"I believe you wished to have an audience with me," Ragnok said in his usual sneer.
Cornelius piped up, "I asked for your presence half an hour ago! Your teller was unhelpful and rude, and..." he went on a whole tirade before Dumbledore stopped him, we don't need to another goblin rebellion.
"Cornelius, perhaps it would be wiser to not waste time. We may miss the lord in one of his undoubtedly many appointments" Dumbledore said and Cornelius eventually stopped.
"King Ragnok, can you tell us the location of the Lord Peverell? We need to establish his stance and induct him into Wizengamot" Lucius said in his usual noble voice.
"I am aware of that. The Lord Peverell is an ally of ours and who just left, not too long ago he's probably heading back to Peverell Castle or somewhere in the alley." And just like that, they all ran trying to find the young Lord, all the Goblins only shake their heads and amusement they will not find the young Lord unless the young Lord wanted to be found.
Back with Dice
It was not long until Dice woke up from his short nap only to feeling a weight on his chest. He slowly carefully opened his eyes, only to see that small, little owlbear cub who was sleeping on his chest like she had no care in the world and she belongs right there. He carefully stood up with the small owlbear cub still resting in his arms. carefully looking around he realized he was still in the clearing not too far from Diagon Alley, he made his way back into Diagon Alley trying to find the ministry of magic. Because he has to register his new familiar he doesn't want to be mistaken as a poacher of a rare and exotic creature. Dice stop realized he doesn't know where the ministry of magic is located and how to get there?
Dice let out a frustrated sigh and look around the crowd to see if anyone could help him, noticing a platinum blonde hair with aristocratic face Dice realized he was one of those purebloods Wizards who might have a seat on the wizengamot. He wasn't too sure but still, he slowly approaching the man, "Excuse me kind sir do you know where is the wizengamot, I don't know where it is. And I haven't been to London in such a long time." The platinum blonde hair wizard turns around and slightly blushing as he got a good look at Dice's face.
Lucius Malfoy's POV
Sweet Merlin and Morgana he's the most gorgeous man I've ever, seen he might be a fallen angel. He roughly stood six feet tall and wore a royal purple button 3 Piece tuxedo Suit with a light Purple Azzurro dress vest with a dapper handmade formal purple bow tie around his neck and he had on white stitched cotton gloves and lastly Italian designed two-Tone lace-up purple lavender dress shoes "Certainly sir but might I ask who I am addressing and helping." I noticed that the handsome stranger flushed a little in embarrassment. "My apologies for my lapse in manners My name is Lord Peverell, Potter, Black, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw Harrison Jamison, but you can call me Dice." I was completely shocked when I heard his name, I managed to find Lord Peverell before that meddlesome old fool Albus Dumbledore. "My name is Lucius Malfoy pleasure to meet you, Lord Peverell if you don't mind me asking why you are heading towards the ministry of magic Lord Peverell."
The young Lord looks down at his hands and chuckled for a moment as I look down to notice him holding a young owlbear cub, "I need to go to the familiar registration to get my familiar registered I don't want people mistaking me as a poacher now can I." We both chuckle and made our way to the ministry of magic.
