"Even though you are the second son of Lord Slytherin, you don't have the privilege to still be asleep." A voice woke Theo or Talien from his slumber.
Theo noted in the mirror over his fire place that he still had dark hair but his eyes where no longer bright blue as in his old life, but they where almost onyx black. Shaking his head he looked at the House elf that stood there waiting for him to get up.
"Why do I not have that privilege?" He asked.
"His Lordship has requested your brothers and your presence at the morning meal."
Talien was surprised at how well the house elf spoke which was very different then in the future where they seemed to speak in third person more and stutter as well. He figured that after years of mistreatment they became what they are known in the future. Talien took his time getting dressed, as in his new memories it shows that he is seen as the less talented son in his fathers eyes. Salazar was the prodigy of the family, while Talien was the lazy one. He learned that he was talented with a sward and with a wand but still lazy in the eyes of their head of the family.
Talien looked out of the window as he lazily walked towards the dinning room of the castle to dine with his father and brother. It looked as though their castle was along the coast of England, or on what will become to be known as the Bristol Channel. He could see the waters of the channel from where he walked. In his memories he knew that is was more then a days ride to the nearest village or town. Over a two days ride to any where a muggle would live, something he noticed pleased his father Lord Slytherin. Soon he was joined by a large black dog on his walk. Or well a much to large black dog.
"You know, I think you make a better beast then a man Mikhail." Talien spoke to the dog.
"And not all of us can be as high in this society as you Lord Talien." Mikhail transformed back to a man.
"Hmm I wonder, would you want to be me if you only knew what being me entailed?" Talien asked out loud.
"Well My Lord, I'm just your attendant as Yevgraf is your Elder Brothers attendant. We are only here to help or more in your case keep you company."
Lord Slytherin had attendants for both his sons, companions that where hired to watch the young lords. Mikhail was the youngest of their knight commanders sons. Mikhail had dark Black Hair and gray eyes, but his most unique feature was a white tuff of hair at the crown of his head. That unique feature also transferred to in beast form. Talien noted that its called beast form in this time and not animagus yet, that comes to be the name of those who can transform into animals in the 1600s. Mikhail was also as tall as Talien was.
"Well its better you showed late then not at all Lord Talien." An elf bowed as he opened the doors to the Dinning hall.
There sitting at the head of the table, was the head of Slytherin house, Lord Slytherin. He had his hair pulled back and large streaks of while on each side of his head as well as white and black beard that hung long down his chest. Salazar looked much like him self, but had longer hair and sat straighter then Talien thought was humanly possible, or like the man had a broom stuck up his ass.
"Have a seat son, there is much to discus." Lord Slytherin drawled as if he was already bored of this.
"As you say Father." Talien spoke approaching his seat across from Salazar and sat down.
"Little Brother its rude to keep your elders waiting." Salazar spoke sneeringly at Talien, which sounded much like when Draco would sneer at him about hid disagreement to something the Malfoy heir had said.
"Well Lord Brother, I was having an inticing dream that I simply could find myself wanting to wake up from, one that may cause you nightmares." Talien smirked at Salazar.
Just as Salazar would have reacted, Lord Slytherin held his hand up catching both of his sons attention. The Lord also waved off the servants and attendants as soon as the food was set on the table, leaving just the three Slytherins in the room.
"Now, as you both know, a forth night we received word that the Queen would like our families presence at her palace." He began.
"She wishes to meet those who will one day be leading the next generation of our world. Salazar I see you working towards more of a Scholarly future, Talien as much as you confuse me, I see protecting those around this kingdom."
"So you wish me to become a scholar father?" Salazar asked with a look of distain on his face.
"In away yes, you can still lead the family as your birth right but you are far more wiser then your brother, who seems to thinks after acting. Two sides of the coin of our family." The Lord said.
"Very well Father." Salazar conceded.
"You should know the Ravenclaw ladies will be there as well, so you Salazar may have some company since I've heard that the Ladies of that family are known for their knowledge and calmness, or at least I've heard the elder child is." He looked at Salazar with a look.
"Of course I'll extend an Acknowledgment to them while we are there." Salazar nodded.
"As will I father." Talien spoke in agreement.
"It pleases me that you both are in agreement." Lord Slytherin nodded and began to eat.
Soon the hall grew quiet as it had always seem to do after the Lord had his say. Talien thought on what his father had said; Ladies of Ravenclaw? That must mean that Rowena wasn't the only child in this time. From his knowledge as Theo, Rowena was an only child as was Slytherin. Now Slytherin had him as a younger brother due to the fates turner. He thinks that like himself Hermione was born into a Founders Family. He would have thought it be the Gryffindor family, but Ravenclaw also made sense since she spent more time in the library then anything.
Once he was finished with his meal he excused himself and found both Mikhail and Yevgraf standing on either side of the door waiting for their lords to finish. Now that he got a look at Yevgraf, he looked a lot like Draco did before the war. Clean white hair and pale features, oh how he wanted to tell Draco that an ancestor served the Slytherin family as an attendant. It would burst his high aristocratic bubble. But he also knew that Draco's family comes from France generations from now. So maybe on of Yevgraf's children or grandchildren move to France before leaving for England once more. Mikhail reminds Talien of the qualities of the Black Family that comes from England, which is very interesting to him.
"So My Lord, how was your meal?" Mikhail asked as they walked towards the entrance of the castle.
"Just that we all are heading to the Queens Palace." He shrugged.
"I see, so we will be meeting far Maidens then." Mikhail raised his eyebrows at him with a smirk.
"So it seems." Talien sighed.
It's not very different in the future of the wizard world. All families want are heirs to continue their family lines. That's not something that will change in those of the nobility here. They wont care if your compatible as long as the bottom line is to produce an heir to the family. But many of the memories as Talien has changed.
Like how he can use the family magic that is Theo's time only those who are heads of the family has access to. Sure Theo was born with his magical ability but as Talien, he had more access to stronger magic. That is also how heads of the family in the future where about to since if their new born was a squid or not. They used their access to their familiar magic to see. That is why muggle borns where looked down upon, that they had no way of connecting to their familiar magic. Then he thought of Hermione, who in the future was one of the more powerful muggleborns in their year. If only there was a way to trace her blood line he thought.
"Mikhail." Talien spoke.
"Yes My Lord?" He asked curiously.
"While at the palace I have a chore for you."
"That is?"
"Father mentioned that the Ladies of Ravenclaw house will be there as well. I want you to keep an eye on the younger of the ladies for me even after we meet." Talien explained.
"And why would you want me to." Mikhail asked.
"All in due time my friend, all in due time." Talien smirked at his attendant and friend.
Preview of next Chapter;
As Talien and his elder brother Salazar participated in a conversation with they young Lord Godrick Gryffindor. He was beginning to feel a familiar presence coming towards the ballroom that the Queen was holding a ball in. It was similar to the feeling he had when he grew closer to Hermione.
"Lords and Ladies, May I introduce Lord Ravenclaw, His wife Lady Ravenclaw and his Daughters Lady Rowena and Lady Fraya." A loud voice of the Door Elf announced to those already there.
