"I keep forgetting that Lilly is a new-blood" Draco says.
There are a few pureblood family's that still believe in inbreeding. New-bloods help us avoid that and add new fresh blood into the Wizarding world. If we don't squib births go up. Even then it is thought that new-bloods have squibs further up in their lines on both sides of the family. Adding enough fresh blood to create a magical child.
We get up after eating and walk over to the door to go to our common room.
"Hey Ferret!" I hear. The others head to the common room knowing nothing good can come of that. Draco and I turn around.
"Yes, Weasel" I Reply
Draco laughs behind me and leans close to my ear "His name is Ronald Weasley, not weasel love."
His face starts to go red. "No I think I was right" I say. I look over at the young man and lady behind the weasel. "and you are?"
"Harry Potter and Hermione Granger" Draco says.
"Ahh, newblood, halfblood and pureblood. Odd how that seems to be the popular group." I say disappearing into my own head.
"That's rude" Granger says.
"What's rude?" I ask looking at them then back at Draco.
"Calling me a new-blood." Granger says clearly getting upset.
"Not really, it's what you are. You are new blood into the Wizarding world." I explain.
"Whatever." She says crossing her arms.
"Are you going to take the Grimoire class?" I ask her while Weasel and Draco go at it in the background.
"Don't patronize me. There is no such thing as grimoires. I'm not stupid" She huffs
"Actually, grimoires are an ancient thing made by witches and wizards to take down their greatest accomplishments and spells, charms and potions that they think future children in their line will need. It also passes on family secrets and rules and regulations you must follow in the family." I reply back with just as much snark.
"Well, let's see yours." She snaps back
"No I can't show you mine it's a family Secret passed down in our family I got all the ladies in the lines Grimoire which I just add to it with every accomplishment." I reply back to her. "I'll help you make one of your own though. They are important but take a lot of research if you're starting from scratch."
"My love your Grimoire is very well done." Draco says kissing my head.
"Why have you seen it if I can't see it?" Granger Askes looking upset.
"Because I am her betrothed I have to deem it appropriate for her to read and use. If I deemed it inappropriate she would have had to give it back to her parents and make her own. You see with the women of a line their betrothed has to check over the grimoire for dangers then a copy in given to the daughter. The mother keeps her copy and it updates both copies when the daughter or mother writes in it. That way if the daughter puts something in that the mother can add to she can and same thing for the daughter. If the mother sees something alarming that the daughter puts in that could be deemed inappropriate by the husband and/or betrothed she must tell her husband immediately then it is brought to the attention of the betrothed and/or husband and the woman is confronted about and she either loses the privilege of having a grimoire or it was simply a miss understanding." Draco explains to Granger.
"I remember hearing a story of my great grandmother finding out that my Grandmother had put something in there to cheat on her betrothed turns out she ran out of paper during potions class so she used the grimoire to right down the potion. It was a complete misunderstanding her betrothed had her copy the potion down on a piece of paper and he erased it out of the grimoire. Only special people like my dad and Draco can erase things out of the grimoire so if I make a mistake I have to go to him that way I can fix it. It keeps us witches honest." I say thinking about the time my grandmother told me that story.
"Well that's horrible. You don't want your own freedom." Granger says outraged.
"No. Not really. It also gives the onus to the male. If there is something in there that we put in that might cause harm it is up to him to sort it out. If it is found out that the female did something and it was in her grimoire, he is seen at fault. So it has it's pros and cons like everything." I say while shrugging.
"Well, I would never like that." Granger said
It's a good thing you aren't betrothed then." I reply. I take Draco's hand and lead him out of the great hall. He quickly takes charge and leads me to the Slytherin common room. It is a picture of Salazar Slytherin. How creative.
"Snake" Draco says. The portrait swings open and we step in.
As you can see I have rewritten the first 2 chapters. I am hoping to do that to all my stories and start posting again. I do apologize that it has been so long. Hopefully I can get on a good schedule and start posting more and more. I did split up and explain more I believe but hopefully over the next few weeks I can fix these stories up and actually get them written. I have spent years reading FanFics time to get in the drivers seat. I have so many ideas for FanFics I just now have to let them play out and write them. I hope you enjoy all the rewritings. I am also no longer going to be posting them on my website. I will just be posting them here for things to be easier or everyone. so things will be moved over as I finish rewriting. Thanks for reading!
