Chapter 18 – The Secrets of the Potter and New Tom
Fleamount then transported the triplets to the family manor near Hogwarts, then said we already finished the lesion about the family secrets and the Deathly Hollow.
- FLASHNACK - Family Secrets -
Right after they found Fleamount, he started lesion one.
"We are going to start with family secrets. Why we have abilities we have. These secrets are abilities. Let's start with the Ravenclaw secret. You can learn spells by watching one time and learn by just reading. We learn very fast." Said Fleamount.
"Always wonder why I learn so fast, perfect memory is a family treat alone with the triplet." Said Lil.
"You think being a triplet helps you learn," said Fleamount.
"Frank those thangs did not help you learn math or reading did they?" asked Lil, "Nor anything else."
"I did not learn how to read nor math. But I know how," said Frank W, "I just woke up one morning, and I know how to read, then then slowly I started leaning math, then other thangs."
"Would you say about four years old?" asked Lil.
"Yes," said Frank W.
"That when me and Elijah learned, you learned through us," said Lil, "Since we share memories. You learned at night since your night was our day."
"So, you learned how to clean form me," said Frank W, "And gardening, and cooking."
"Yes," said Lil and Elijah, then Lil added, "We did not know why at the time through."
"This is a nice gift through," said Fleamount. "Through Hufflepuff our family is very loyal. Not really munch to say other than to say we become very loyal very fast. When we see treason it will make us mad."
"This is why we were so mad at Albus when attacked, then even more when he attacked me in the back." Said Lil, "Because we expect loyalty in everyone."
"We do from our own people, and Albus should have been on our side," said Fleamount, "but he tried to take you out and that treason, especial for one of our leaders. Gryffindor are brave, but more accurately there are Battle Magic. Any offence magic will be more powerful, with ease."
"Any office spells?" asked Lil.
"Yes, but I learned defense magic is included. Like shields." Said Fleamount, "Any spells that is used in a dule or war. Some spells that don't normally count will be included, with intent of the spell. Something will just be intent."
"Like a transfiguration spell to make something into a shield in battle to protect people." Said Lil.
"Yes," said Fleamount, "As I said, it is the intent not the spell."
"We gained the Slytherin blood line through conquest," said Fleamount, "You know how?"
"Tom Riddle attack on our family," said Lil, "It somehow was added through magic."
"Yes," said Fleamount, "After Riddles treason towards us, The Founders gave us the Slytherin Blood."
"Slytherin line gave us the ability to speak to snakes." Said Lil, "Slytherin was famed for this, he was not a dark lord like most think he was. He did not hate Muggles. He did not have a problem with Muggle-burns or Half-bloods learning at Hogwarts, he understood the diversity of magic."
"That is true," said Fleamount, "He was also a master of Potions and a Potions Master. We can learn potions fast, but we can also see errors in potions and correct them, with the items on hand."
"That very useful, when me and Elijah followed Big around at school, we helped him with Advanced Potions year sixth and seventh year. He always got high marks."
"We did not know why we were so good," Said Elijah, "But we made him better at them."
"I need to scan you three," said Fleamount, he then scanned them, then added, "When you were babies. We had you scanned, because of Potter Magic. You have larger than normal magical cores, abnormally large. This is the big thang, because of this there was a control put on your magic. This was done to help keep you safe. As time goes the control on your magic is reduced. The control level is right where it should be. These blacks will be gone soon as we are done with these lessons."
"We still have it on us?" asked Lil.
"Yes, you do," said Fleamount.
"When we were scanned we had some blacks on us, one to prevent snake langue and magic, then one to reduce magical ability. These where removed." Said Lil. "How was this one not seen. Do you see anything else."
"Potter parents put them on the kids, all our kids have a oversized core. But I have never seen one like you triplets before." Said Fleamount, "But it will be gone soon. But that block can only be seen by a Potter. No other block, since I am your guardian, by right of blood. I can see any block on you."
"You triplets have two more blood lines in you," said Fleamount, "But I can't tell you of them. Your Grand Ma is a Black from her father, and Rowle from her Mother. She will have to tell you of them. Do you want a snake brake."
"Sure," said the three.
"These blood lines, you must be a Potter by birth," said Fleamount, "So that would be Me, James Potter, his brothers Lewis, Harry, and their sister Sarah, and their kids."
"Have you talked to them?" asked Lil.
"Sarah talked to Minnie, and she is already learning, but she will act like she does not know. Your uncles Lewis' and Harry's sons, are learning to in Troy." Said Fleamount.
"Ok," said the three.
They went down and had a snake then went back up with Mia, then secured the room again.
"I am a Black and a Rowle by birth," said Mia.
"Grand Pa told us, since you have other magic he can't teach us," said Lil, "Just like he can teach us thangs you can't."
"Yes Potter Magic is different than Black magic," said Mia. "I must teach you about the Family magic that we have from Black and Rowle. While there are lots that are Black by birth, including the Weasleys, Malfoys, Longbottom, and a few others. Whereas the only Rowle left are Me, your three, your Dad, Uncles Lewis and Harry and their sis Sarah. And their kids."
"The Black family has a history of being advanced healers. We learn healer spells quickly, but also more powerful. Because of this your core is bigger. But even for a Black your core is even larger than that. We are not sure why."
"We had to have reducers put on our magic," said Lil.
"For our own softy," added Elijah.
"Yes, if we did not could cause setbacks," said Mia, "In your magical learning. Let me scan you." She scanned them, then she added, "Your Grand Pa scanned you, so he told you about them being gone soon. This will keep you safer, even with this you still very powerful power wise."
"We did not know about the block. Thinking back on it, we must have been overpowering the spells." Said Lil, "Counseling our cores to be bigger."
"It is possible," said Mia. "Have you done magic without a wand?"
"Yes, we have," said Elijah.
"I wanted us to learn it," said Lil, "Wands are a weakness, did not want us losing ours and being defenseless.
"We fell our spells are stronger without one," said Frank W.
"Wands are almost a disability, like pushing your power through a strow," said Lil, "Takes more power to do less."
"Black family magic," said Mia, "Is the possibility for wandless magic, just like being a shifter."
Then they shifted their hair color back to black, then Lil said, "Figured it was a family thang to. We are working on it."
"We have a family member with it," said Mia.
"'Don't call me my first name' Tonks," said Lil.
"Yes," said Mia.

- FLASHBACK - Secret of the Death Stone -
"I am going to teach you about the true Potter family magic, through our veins runs the blood Peverell, the same one in the three-brother story who meet death story." Said Fleamount.
"It was not completely true," said Lil, "Because if it were, and our and our Great …. Grandfather Ignotus Peverell hide his whole like under the cloak he would not a wife and had kids."
"You are right, we would not be he if it did," said Fleamount.
"Same goes for Cadmus, he according to the story killed himself not long after getting the stone and his line produced the Founder Slytherin of our school and Riddle." Said Lil. "Not sure about Antioch and the wand. There are big gapes in the story."
"Still think we got the best of the three," said Frank W.
"We did the Stone was supposed to drive people nuts," said Lil. "But little is known of the stone. Only the cloak has been kept in one line this whole time."
"Now think on the past and the family tree," said Fleamount. They did, "Now think on the triplets we talked about." They did, then three older men showed. They then opened their eye.
"These three have some nice eyes," said Ignotus.
"To think mine were crazy." Said Cadmus. "My line did produce the Riddles."
"At least your line went somewhere," said Antioch, "I ended up dead to soon, then I think I drove Cadmus crazy. He joined me."
"Apparently I was the wise brother," said Ignotus, "Through I did end up with all the Hollows for a while. Talking to these helped me stay healthy."
"Magical bounded siblings," said Lil.
"Yep," said Cadmus.
"You did not like being separated either?" asked Lil.
"No, they are mine," said Cadmus.
"Is there a way to copy the abilities of the stone, into a diamond for others to use to learn about their family history. For those who have lost all their families?" asked Lil.
"We will talk on it," said Cadmus.
"Hope there is a way, this might help a good many people," said Lil, "Learn their family ways. In the future when we get this stone, I would life to talk to the founders, learn more about them, what is unknown."
"What do you think you may learn?" asked Antioch.
"For example. Slytherin not hating muggle-born and half-bloods. I don't even think he hated all muggles." Said Lil. "I am not sure most beliefs about the founders are correct. The trades we connect to one founder where in all."
"You mean all being loyal, smart, conning, and brave?" asked Antioch, "Why would you think this?"
"You can't be conning without knowledge. True bravery is not possible without knowledge either. You also can't be loyal without knowledge of what your being loyal to." Said Lil.
"Same can be said about conning, bravery, smarts, and loyalty. You must be a combination of all four." Said Elijah.
"But learning from the founders, would change how out people think and how we act to our own," said Lil. "I do not think the founders wanted the houses to be divided like this."
"True they did not," agreed Cadmus, "They wanted the school as one, they had different uses in the houses then now."
- END FLASHBACK - Secret of the Death Stone -
- FLASHNACK - Secret of the Cloak -
"Now it is time for the next lesion," said Fleamount.
Then Ignotus showed, then said, "Since we are the family of the Hollow, and we own The Hollows. The whole town. We can use the abilities of the cloak without it."
"That seems like a good thang true invisibility without a cloak," said Lil, "That will be good."
"Does this ability have a weakness?" asked Elijah.
"Not when combined with the other two," said Ignotus.
"This will end the war," said Lil, "Hopping we can stop the next."
"Here hopping," said Ignotus. "Now think on stealth and not being seen and not being heard. It is that simple." They looked at him, "It is for our family."
Then they through on it, after a few minutes they disappeared.
"I can still see you Lil," said Frank W.
"And I can hear you Frank," said Lil.
"Not sure it is working, Ignotus what did we do wrong," said Lil.
They waited, then Lil asked again, "What did we do wrong?"
"Grand Pa, what did we do wrong?" asked Frank W.
"My grands, think on being seen," said Ignatus, "Think on being heard, think about losing stealth."
"We can see each other but they can't," said Frank W.
"Must be because we are a bounded set," Lil.
"Let's rejoin then," added Frank W.
Then they through about returning, then they heard Ignatus, "You did it."
"It did not work as we thought, we could see and talk to each other. We think it is because we are a fully bounded set," said Lil, "Since we think and fell as one."
"Me and my two mirrors never where fully bounded the same way you three are," said Ignotus. "We could not interact with each other while invisible."
"At least we get to meet the more family," said Lil.
"True, bro of mine." Said Elijah.
- END FLASHNACK - Secret of the Cloak -
- FLASHBACK - Secret of the Master Wand -
"Now we are doing the last of the three, that we need to combine into the last," said Fleamount.
Then Antioch showed, "Now for the lesion you must lesion to the most. Do not talk about the Master Wand outside the Family, this is family magic after all. I died because of myself. To keep you safe you must never tell anyone about this."
"Because the fast this wand is famous," said Lil.
"Also, how munch power this wand has, other will want to kill us for this wand," said Frank W. "No one will touch mine."
"I agree brother of mine," said Elijah.
"You know this is the second time, we had a matched set," said Lil, "We match you set Grand Uncle. I am you. Elijah is the middle same as Cadmus. Frank W is to Ignotus."
"What about your father and his set?" asked Fleamount.
"They are quads, not triplets, and not fully matched," said Lil.
"We three where triplets, but not fully matched," said Antioch.
"We are the first fully bounded, match set of bros, in our family," said Lil, "That must have amplified the magic."
"You three did not live together, but you still dreamed together," said Antioch. "But more on this latter, now for the wand. I will train you on summoning the wand, but also how but you must also learn to over lay the wand you made onto this wand. No one must see this wand. The first steep is to summon the master wand, then we can go to the next step." Then a image of the Master Wand showed above Antioch's hand, then he added, "This is the Master Wand or the Death Steek."
"So can it also control other wands?" asked Lil.
"Yes," said Antioch. "Now you see why it is so wanted."
"Then even more reason not to talk about this," said Lil.
"I agree bro of mine," agreed Elijah.
"Little bros, I am not going anywhere," said Lil.
"Good neither are we," agreed Elijah.
"I agree middle bro." said Frank W.
"Now think about the wand I showed you," said Antioch, "Think about welding it."
They then started thinking about the wand, this took a while, then they each had a copy of the wand. "As time goes this will be easier. Now resummon it. Think of it disappearing, it will go back to it storge place, where it will be safe." They did, again this took a while, but then it was gone. "Now practice for a while. We must get the summing practiced."
They then practiced this for a while, then they were able to summon the wand without trouble. Then Antioch added, "Now you must learn how to hide the look of the wand. But only use the wand if you must, when you can go wandless. Or use the wand that you made, or one you buy. If someone know how they could still scan the wand."
"I like wandless the best," said Lil.
"I agree with bro of mine. I think wands are a weakness," said Elijah. "Spells seem weaker trying to shove through a strow."
"Little bro fells the same way to me," agreed Lil.
"To hide the look of the wand, think of the look of the wand you made, then summon master wand." Said Antioch.
They did this tried this for a while. When it worked Lil summoned the master wand but it a long emerald wand with four light blue lines on its length wise. Then Elijah summed version of it a matched to Lil's copy but gold and black lines. Franks was Red with gold lings.
After they could do this a while, Antioch said, "Now that you have been tried on all three of the hollows practice them, and our noble family traits."
"We will do this again after you practice this for a while," said Fleamount, "Then the final stage."
- FLASHBACK - Secret of the Master Wand -
Then Fleamount, Ignotus, Cadmus, and Antioch joined the triplets then Antioch said, "Now for the final stage, learning how to unite the hollows. Think about the three hollows and using them as one. This will take time."
All three started thinking about the hollows and combining them into one. After two hours Lil summoned all three and then after ten minutes they merged.
Then a few minutes after Elijah and Frank followed and summoned the three hollows and then merged them.
"You two did it faster than Lil but he did it first." Said Antioch.
"What does this mean?" asked Lil.
"Lil since you were first, your choice. You can either be the master of death, and they are the servants of death. The second choice is co-master of death, they are you equals."
"There is no choice, co-master," said Lil.
"But you won the spot," said Frank W.
"Was not a choice, we are a set." said Lil.
"Glad you wanted to keep us as bros," said Elijah.
"What other choice was there," said Lil, "You are my bros. There is no other choice."
"He said we could have been…" started Frank W.
"First never that. Second we are equals. Third you know if I need your help or if you need mine we don't even have to ask, the help will just be there." Said Lil.
"True, Lil. Frank should know this." Said Elijah.
"I would not have done any different," said Frank W, "Don't know why I think you would be different. Especially being connect to Elijah the way you are."
"Your ours to," said Lil, "You watched us all day, after all."
"I did not see him choosing anything else." Said Fleamount.
"Those items were not made by death where they," said Lil, "Each brother made one, then you were supposed to unite them. Into one item each of you could use."
"Why do you think that?" asked Antioch.
"I have the real master wand in the bank, and cloak." Said Lil, "They don't fell, I don't know, made by gods. The cloak fells like an invincibility cloak, just with no flaws. Someone under this cloak could never be found. The wand is the same, fells the same, has a lot of power and if you did not have it in your own hands you might never see it. The stone I found, but have not removed the curse, it is secured for safety. There are several dark curses on it and a dark spirit on it. Part of Voldemort on it. We must cleanse it. We got all of his anchors."
"When are you planning on cleans them?" asked Fleamount.
"We will need your help," said Lil, "I have a plain for him."
"What is it?" asked Fleamount.
"Dark Lord Dumbledore, ruined Tom Riddle's life. Currently his rath spirit is contained now. We have a secure cabin he is in, nowhere near cavillation." Said Lil, "He will have a new body. New name different blood line, no longer connected to his old name in any way."
"I would like you to practice more, with these abilities," said Fleamount, "But now we need to deal with Tom."
When they were done. Fleamount, Mia, and the triplets teleported to the secure research base.
"Tom. Morning how are we felling today?" asked Lil.
"I feel different," said Tom.
"The part of you sole that was in me," said Lil, "I returned."
"Why?" asked Tom.
"Before we can give you a new body, we need to restore sanity." Said Lil, "Your unstable."
"How many need to be restored?" asked Tom.
"Three more before, three after," said Lil. "We will help you."
Then Lil brought out Slytherin's Locket, Hufflepuff's Cup, and Ravenclaw's Crown. Then he started working with Fleamount and then restored the three fragments to the spirit.
Then Lil said, "We found all six items."
"Ok," said Tom.
"Slytherin's Locket, Hufflepuff's Cup, and Ravenclaw's Crown," said Lil, "Why nothing of Gryffindor's?"
"Could never find anything of his," said Tom. "The few items I could find where too delicate or hard to get."
"So, it was not because you through he was less then the rest?" asked Lil, "I always figured it was because of that."
"No, it took all four founder to make the school." Said Tom, "Just like what most think of Slytherin is not true."
"You agree that Slytherin did not hate half-blood or muggle born," said Lil, "He was not evil, but history is written by the victor. Even if it is not true."
"I am starting to think clearly again," said Tom. "You know when I started out I did not hate even muggles either."
"Dark Lord Dumbledore twisted you," said Lil, "You are getting a second change. And I studied younger you. You wanted change and to make the world better. Some of what you wanted is happening, and some more to be. We are just pushing it out slowly, and over time."
"What have you done so far?" asked Tom.
"You wanted fear and equal treatment for Werewolf, Vampires, those with creature inherence, centaurs, elves and others. We are even working with the Mures." Said Lil, "They all will have spots on the new council."
"That impressive," said Tom, "What of Dumbledore."
"Ge attacked me twice," said Lil.
"Abakan?" asked Tom.
"Because of his actions he united the counsel," said Lil, "Because of my work, the dark and light Lords where mad. I am a grey, and the other two are very light. They saw the attack on me as offence to them. They dumped him into Azabon with lots of Dementors as friends to play with him."
"By play with…" started Tom
"…relive as many bad memories as possible." Finished Lewis. "We need you to rest. Regain more sanity."
"I will," said Tom.
"This Poster has you family tree on it," said Lil. "You are from a House from one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, Most Noble and Ancient House who is Extant. We had to correct some thangs from last talk. You are now the son of Torquil Travers III and Susan Travers, he is the son of Torquil Jr and Lilly Travers, who is the son of Torquil Sr and Mary Torquil. Your name is Torquil Travers VI." Said Lil, "The story is in January of 1981 Voldemort murdered the rest of your family while in hiding, you were found in the rubble. You will have memories of being adopted a family. Then we found you, and you decided to come back and claim your Lordship and join the council. Now you live with us Potters. As soon as you can, we will get your family seat back. But we need to whole again first."
"With my new name and body," said Tom, "I am no longer connected to Slytherin or Riddle."
"No," said Lil, "But you are now in an Accent and Noble house."
"Your Lord Slytherin now," said Tom.
"Yes, and we have redone the whole school," said Lil. "Shaken up the whole wizarding world and soon the muggle world."
"That good, always felt thangs where missing from the school," said Tom, "Dumbledore, and the old headmaster where stuck in the past. As well as Minnie."
"She is not the assistant headmaster nor depart head," said Lil. "She put up a fuss at first, but she accepted."
"Who are the new Heads?" asked Tom.
"Fleamount Potter is the new Head, and Arthur and Billius Weasley are the new Co Assistant Headmasters." Said Lil.
"Fleamount died, and Billius was murdered." Said Tom.
"Fleamount disappeared, he was turned into a werewolf, and Billius was turned as to." Said Lil, "After someone changed the memory of the eater, who was then sent back to you."
"How big is the council?" asked Tom.
"Large, there is no longer any missing Houses of the old Sacred Twenty-Eight, we even gained a few new houses in the Council," said Lil, "Including Houses from each of the new factions to the New Council. The new High Council has a member from each of the Factions as leadership. We even have plans on getting half blood and muggle born on the council. We are entering a brave new world, change is needed."
"You already see we can't hide much longer from the muggles," said Tom, "What changed?"
"Their levels of technology," said Lil. "Increasing fast."
"What do they have?" asked Tom.
"They have camera that store the moving pitchers in different places," said Lil, "Mobile ones to, that the pitchers that can be seen all over the world in seconds. Even if we wipe the memories we can't delete the videos, once they are uploaded."
"I see," said Tom, "What about the dangers?"
"The muggles are not what they where in the days of the Witch burning, they changed." Said Lil, "More muggles are learning anyway with the increasing amount of muggle born. Not all muggleborns are not what we through, most we found are squib born from long families."
"That not a new theory." Said Tom.
"You need to rest some," said Lil, "Then we can talk again, and see if your ready for your new body."
"You are being way to kind," said Tom.
"Our world needs to heal, and change a page," said Lil, "The next generation will be huge. This one is still growing. Even the Crown Prince of England and the Prince of Wales and Scotland are part of this generation of magic. We are finding other magic used Dark Lord Dumbledore blocked their magical education. We are really in a changing world. We are working on reuniting with other parts of the magical world and the muggle to. Think on that information on your bord, and rest." Then they walked out.
Two days later, Lil, Fleamount, and Hagrid came in and Lil said, "Tommy Boy, time for a new body."
"Great," said Tom.
Then a body appeared, and the field appeared around the body. Tom could see his new body breathing. The body was the same height as the triplets with blue eye, light skin, freckles, red hair, and a small frame.
"It that the new me, he handsome." asked Tom. "Who was he?"
"No one, it is a clone of me and five other people." Said Lil, "But he has never been awake, nor any memories. Two light siders, two grey, and two dark."
"Why so many?" asked Tom.
"Think it will provide more stability," said Lil.
"Can I know who aside from you," said Tom, "I am assuming you two brothers are the light side, and Malfoys are the dark side. Who the other grey."
"Let get you in your new body," said Lil, then Lil and Fleamount started channeling a spell from the spirit to the small body, then finely the spirit disappeared. After thirty minutes, he woke up, "Good morning Tor, get use to your new body. Happy eighth birthday."
"Am I a muggle or magic?" asked Tor.
"For nor your magical core is inactive, and we have your magic locked, for your safety. You need a few days for you magic to grow. We will add the other three parts to you tomorrow." Said Lil. "We will help you, but we must be careful."
"If I start to soon," started Tor.
"You could destroy your magical core," said Lil, "I almost fractured mine. Do you like chess?"
"Yes," said Tor.
"Get ready to lose." Said Lil.
"Who says your win?" said Tor.
"Never lost," said Lil.
"I got a few years on you." Said Tor.
"We bet on Lil winning," said Elijah.
"So do I," added Frank W.
"Hate to bet against you Lil, but he got the years," said Fleamount. "Sorry."
"Tritor," said the triplets, then Lil added, "How much?"
"Ten galleons," said Fleamount.
"Fine," said the triplets, the triplets each put ten galleons on the table, then Fleamount matched each bet.
The after a long chess game, where Lil seemed to push Tor buttons by popping traps agent his peace. Then he was finely down to King, Queen, a castle, and a rock. Lil still had most of his peace. Then a few minutes later, with his king trapped in the cornet, Lil said, "Check Mate, Tor."
"Dam," said Tor, then tipping his king over.
Then the triplets took their gold.
"Thanks, Gramp Pa, for the easy gold." Said Lil.
"Yep…" started Frank W.
"…easy gold." Finished Elijah.
"If you want to try again, try against Frank or Elijah." Said Lil. "Still will not win."
The same bet was made, then thirty minutes later, Tor lost again, then Lil added, "I did train him. I train to win."
"Not that I ever win agent you," said Frank W.
"Neither do I," said Elijah.
"You are both my Padawans, I am still the Master," said Lil.
"We know," said the other two.
The other Fleamount and Tor looked confused.
"Purebloods," said Lil, "Muggle have thangs called Movies, think of them like books you watch. They have moving pitchers and sound in real time. The movie we are referring to is Star Wars. We should do movie Fridays. Now if you want you can rest and visit with my brothers. Also talked to grandpa he agreed to become your magical guardian, and your new regent."
"That good at lest it is not Albus," said Tor.
"Now, that an idea," said Elijah.
"Now Elijah, no need to be mean, it is not like he like he tried to kill me or anything," said Lil.
"This is not going to be the last of this," said Tor.
"No," said Elijah and Frank W.
"We can't talk about this outside the manor," said Lil.
"Wait, there is a Potter Manor. As in one of the old Manors?" asked Tor, "Like generations old?"
"Yes, why?" asked Lil.
"Why the hell where they at a small cabin, with almost no defenses? It was all easy broken through." Said Tor, "Not even the secret keeping spell?"
"What?" asked Lil.
"Yes, it you where at Potter Manor. I would not been able to get to you. Just like the Longbottom." Said Tor. "Lady Longbottom, Lord Frank Longbottom's mother ordered them to stay in the manor, they followed those orders and ignored Albus."
"Humm," said Lil, "Wonder why ours lessened to the old man."
"Not sure, but Dark Lords," said Frank W.
"You know before I was told of that dam prophecy," said Tor, "I had no plains of going after kids, still don't know what happened to the missing death eater kids."
"Yaa, we do," said Lil, "The unspeakables took them away and put them into hiding."
"They did not die?" asked Tor.
"Nope," said Lil, then walked over to a box and opened the door, then asked, "What should we start with?"
"What that?" asked Tor.
"A TV we can watch those movies on." Said Lil.
"What about that Star Wars movie?" asked Tor.
"Bros of mine what do you think?" asked Lil.
"Sure," said the two.
"Episode IV: A New Hope." Said Lil.
"What about Episode I?" Asked Tor.
"They started with IV not sure why." Said Lil, then while he was setting up the movie, Elijah was getting the Popcorn, and Frank was getting Pumkin Juice for his brothers, then asked, "Tor do you like Pumkin Juice? Grand Pa do you want juice to?"
"Yes, I do," said Tor, then Fleamount added, "Me to."
Then the Juice and Popcorn to each, then Lil started the movie, when the first Episode IV was done. Tor said, "That was impressive. How long has this been around? Are there lots of different kinds of movies?"
"First TV were around the 1960, first movies where before that. Black and While also no sound was the first. While there are two more star wars movies, there also Star Trek, and several other kinds of movies to. There are many made from books. Just like books there are many kinds." Said Lil, "Did you read muggle fiction?"
"Yes," said Tor.
"What did you read?" asked Lil.
"Lord of the Rings, The Chronical of Narnia, 1984, Fraught 451, Sherlock Homes, and a few others," said Tor.
"Lord of the Rings, some of The Chronical of Narnia, 1984, Fraught 451 are all movies. Sherlock Homes got turned into a few movies and a tv show." Said Lil, "Want to see Episode V: Empire Strikes Back."
"Sure," said the five, Lil then started Episode V, when finished started Episode VI, when they finished that one.
"What you think?" asked Lil.
"That was good," said Tor.
"That was," added Fleamount.
"Tor, since you are under our protection. I adopted you as my grandson, they are your adopted brothers." Said Fleamount, "We just adopted by name, not blood adoption."
"That fine," said Tor.
"Bro you need to rest. Do you know how to meditate?" asked Lil.
"Yes, I do." Said Tor.
"Rest, snake, and meditate," said Lil. "We need you core to regenerate, before we can move forward."
"Can I speak snake langue?" asked Tor.
"Not sure, till your magic comes back," said Lil. "We can test then. You might have different abilities from last time. Also think about what House you want to join."
"Thinking Slytherin, what house are you and your bros in?" asked Tor, "Starting to like the sound of that."
"We are in House Naga," said Lil, "New house. Those in that house either have a Creature Invariance, a Wear which is the name for a Werewolf who has taken the potion to join control of the Wolf, Vampires, Centaurs, and a few others. We even got the Crown Prince of England, and the Prince of Whales and Scotland in our house."
"Cool," said Tor, "You expanded rights to other Magics."
"That what you were wanting the first time." said Lil.
"Yes, sadly making those dam anchors was the worst idea I had," said Tor, "I did not know they would make me unstable. Nothing I read talked about that."
"No one ever made this many before." Said Lil, "You also made them the bad way. Rest Tor, you need sleep."
Then Tor got in bed, while the others got into the other beds, and they started falling asleep. Halfway through the night Tor woke up screaming. Lil went to him, and asked, "You ok?"
"I am starting to live through some of what I done," said Tor.
"What year you up to?" asked Lil.
"Just seen me kill Tom Sr," said Tor.
"Sorry did not know this would happen," said Lil, "When did you kill Sr was it during school or after?"
"Little after school," said Tor.
"These flash backs might take two days or so then," said Lil, "After you see them we can work on them with you. Was he your first kill or was there one before?"
"Mertal was first, then there was three Riddles," said Tor.
"She been haunting the school longer than I thought," said Lil, "Did she die in a girl's toilet at school?"
"Yes," said Tor.
"How did you kill her?" asked Lil, "Did you go to school with Hagrid, one who like magical creatures."
"Yes," said Tor.
"He teaches here now," said Lil.
"He was a friend, we both loved them," said Tor.
"Cool," said Lil, "Don't tell him you were Tom, we might latter."
"You used the Snake, Roselin." Said Lil, "From the chamber."
"How do you know about that?" asked Tor.
"I been in the chamber and talk to her," said Lil. "There she will soon have some hatchlings."
"There a second Basilisk?" asked Tor.
"Sorta," said Lil, then turned into Andy's snake form, then to his Naga form. Then added, "As I said sort of."
- FLASHBACK -
Right after the start of their first day as students, while Andy was exploring the school he found the tap and the way down into the chamber, when he got into the chamber. Andy started looking around and found a secret door, which opened, he walked in, when a voice said, "Hi."
Then Andy shifted back to human, sat at the desk, then said, "Greeting Lord Slytherin."
"Greeting my grandnephew." Said Slytherin. "You have official taken my title?"
"Yes, I did," said Lil.
"The founders have a shared frame, I leaned what happened to my name," said Slytherin, "Do you not think less of me."
"You mean the whole anti muggleborns and half-blood hatter," said Lil, "The wanting to kill muggles. The whole pure thang."
"Yes," said Sal.
"You where the equal of the other founders," said Lil, "You are smart enough to know about the diversity of magic. I don't see that kind of hate in you."
"My son was injured by muggles, we saved him," said Sal. "Can't hate them for not understanding."
"You know this will change the world, the new painting room. With the Headmasters, and the founder painting are. I would like you to join them. We also made a founder painting in each common room. A combined one for each house." Said Lil. "There is a painting in the new Slytherin common room. Think you should talk to your house, help teach them."
"New common room?" asked Sal.
"House Naga is in the old Slytherin House, Slytherin moved to the new tower." Said Lil, "We expanded the School Founder Slytherin. We expanded the campus. Hired new teachers and added subjects. We even merged a new campus, with plains of added four more this summer. Three form the Americas and one from France. Wears the former Werewolf we have a way to give them full control of the wolf, Vampires, Centaurs, Elves who are now free by the way, we know a way to cure squibs…"
"Cure squibs?" asked Sal, "What do you mean?"
"Squibs are Mages who magical pathways are impaired with a magical core which is blocked." Said Lil, "Founder Slytherin, we just heal the pathways and unblock the core."
"Call me Sal please," said Sal, "We can do that this evening."
"I got the new paining in their common room," said Lil, "Anything else neat in here?"
"My private library, through that door." Said Sal, "Also can you check on Roselin?"
"Roselin, so the rummer of your monster is true," said Lil, "Thang is not really a monster."
"School protector, she a Basilisk named Roselin," said Sal, "In the past the school was attacked, and she saved the students."
"Where is she?" asked Lil.
"Under the statue," said Sal.
Lil then left and opened the door with the command, then went in, and saw her. Now in snake langue, "Roselin, Sal wanted me to check on you."
"You smell like a snake," said Roselin. Then he shifted into his snake form. Then added, "You a Naga."
"I am the new Lord Slytherin, mighty and lovey snake queen." Said Andy, "My two brothers are Naga to."
"You are a handsome snake, tiny but handsome," said Rose, "Please can call me Rose. I can hear my old master voice from time to time, but we have now bounded. I am your familiar now."
"That is great," said Andy, then he teleported a new frame in, then hung it on the wall, then said, "Sal."
Sal walked in and asked, "Rose can you hear me?"
"Sal, I missed you." Said Rose.
"I will let you talk alone," said Lil, "Rose please stay here, we can't risk students again. I hope the student last time was a mistake. You did not kill her on purpose did you."
"No, did not know she was there," said Rose, "Was told an enemy of the school was there, was a danger to the students. After the bad one admitted to the trick, I refused him."
"Can you look at those who can't use snake langue without killing them?" asked Andy, "So little is known about Basilisk."
"I have a two eye lids," said Rose, "A inner clear one, and an outer not clear one. You are part Basilisk."
"I don't have Basilisk eyes," said Andy.
"How old are you?" asked Rose.
"Eight," said Andy.
"You are not mature enough," said Rose, "For a Basilisk eye to kill they must be fully mature first."
"For humans it is around seventeen," said Andy, "Basilisk?"
"Two decades, but I don't know which it will use," said Rose.
"I would like include you in the new security," said Andy, "Would also like to breed you to. Can you lay eggs?"
"Yes, you want me to have hatchlings?" asked Rose.
"Yes," said Andy.
"But we need another," said Rose.
"When in Basilisk form, I produce… Let's just say it will work," said Andy. "This will add more security to the school. I would like you to stay safe in the chamber till we have our hatchling."
"We bounded, both as your familiar and your mate." Said Rose, "This is unheard of, but you do seem a strange little wizard."
"My daughter will have hatching," said Sal.
"We plain on it, father-in-law," said Andy.
"Thank you for putting this frame," said Sal, "I will do the meeting with Slytherin House after dinner."
Then Andy left to go call a meeting with the family.
- FLASHBACK – A Hour latter -
The Potters, Weasleys, Siri, Regs, and Remus gathered.
"I was talking to Founder Slytherin, I found his original frame. Aperient Sal, hide himself." Said Tiny, "I found out more information about Basilisk."
"What is it," said Fleamount, "Is it bad."
"I do have the eyes of a Basilisk," said Tiny, "Was tempted not to tell you this, but it is best you know."
"But we have seen your eyes, we did not die," said Elijah.
"One if you speak snake, your immune," said Tiny, "There also the fact no one know, Basilisk are not born with the ability. Before they gain that ability, they must mature. They think I must be around two decades old, if I use Basilisk maturity. Thang is it is also possibly that it is seventeen, since that is human maturity. We are not completely sure."
"Then it could also be thirteen," said Fleamount. "That is the age your magical core is mostly developed."
"Nothing is known about Basilisk," said Charley, "How are we going to deal with this, when you are mature?"
"We are not killing you or destroying your eyes." Said Elijah.
"Basilisks have an inner clear eye lid," said Tiny, "The ability does not go through it. My theory is the inner lid is sealed shut, till maturity."
"Let me look at your eye in snake form," said Charley.
Andy shafted to his snake form, then Charley looked at his eyes, then said, "You do have a closed inner lid." Then he shifted into Naga form, then Charley looked again, "Same inner lid."
"Does my eye color look any different?" asked Andy.
"No, same wonderful emeralds orbs," said Charley.
"Thanks," said Andy.
"How do you know so much about Basilisk," said Charley, "How does Sal know. Slytherin monster is a Basilisk? And alive?"
"Sal, familiar is named Roselin, she is a Basilisk." Said Andy, "She has agreed to stay in the chamber for now, but when we get it set up. She will return to duty as part of the security."
"You are planning on waiting, but why?" asked Arthur.
"We know him, something crazy," said Charley.
"We are Potters, we are crazy," said Frank W.
"Rose is more than capable of laying batches eggs," said Andy, "She double bounded with me. She is a familiar to Lil and Tiny, and she now has a marriage bound with Andy."
"This will be interesting," said Charley.
"One we have them, I plan on getting them to bound with the family first," said Andy. "Next after dinner I have a meeting with the members of Slytherin."
They transported back to Hogwarts, it was announced dinner was required tonight, then after dinner Lil stood up and said, "Members Slytherin and Naga, we have a house meeting, all members of the house of both houses are required to be in the Snake Pit in ten minutes. The rest of the school will learn of this tomorrow, it is good news."
They headed to Slytherin Tower, when everyone was inside. Tiny said, "Every other House has a painting of their house founder, who all come to the Naga house to. Today, the great Sal returns to us." Then a man walked into the frame behind him, then added, "Welcome back Lord Slytherin."
"Greeting Members of Slytherin," said Sal.
Then Draco stood and said, "Greatest of the Hogwarts founders, Lord Slytherin. We should say sorry." He looked at him, then Draco added, "We have failed you."
"How did you do this?" asked Sal. "Little Snake."
"We have let more trash into the school. Muggleborns, half-bloods, and half-breeds." Said Draco.
"Sorry Sal, we been trying to retain him." Said Lil.
"What is your name?" asked Sal.
"Draco Malfoy," said Draco.
"Who all thinks like this one," said Sal, several raised their hands, then he added, "Draco, what all do you know of me?"
"You hate muggles, muggleborns, and half-bloods. You wanted them banned form the school, and at some point they kicked you from the school after a rift was made between you and the other lesser founders." Said Draco.
"We need to correct a few thangs. My time was different, more dangers time. First I don't hate those. If someone has magic they should come. I did leave temporally to set up Troy campus of Hogwarts, I set it up to protect Muggleborns. When the other founders refused to take in those muggleborns when their magic came out, and we almost lost a few. That when I left and found Troy and set it up and started bringing all the Muggleborns there instead. I did think the muggle should be separated from the magic users only to protect us. Nothing more, I did not think our magical young should be at risk."
"You did not leave the school?" asked Draco.
"No, I became in charge of the book of new students." Said Sal, "The school, he talked to me. Told me to make this school at Troy, he wanted me to take in the young magic users. They needed protecting. So, I did, under the nose of the others."
"How did the story of hate come to be?" asked an older snake.
"I had a son, he become a teacher at the school, he was one of those sent out to get the muggleborns." Said Sal, "After we started getting them and sometimes their family. He was injured during one of these trips. I was angry, but he was healed, and my anger went away. But during this small time, I did say in my madness, 'That I did hate Muggles' which must have been overheard. I never meant it."
"So where did the bad words come from?" asked Draco.
"What bad words?" asked Sal.
"They can't say them. I normal don't say them, but I am not pushed if I do. Blood Treater and Mud blood."
"Blood Treater is someone who turns on one own family," said Sal, "How is that a bad word."
"That is not the use of the word now, the modern use means someone who supports First Generation Mages and Half Bloods and protects them from the blood purists." Said Lil.
"This coming from a half blood," said Draco.
Lil smiled at him, then said, "I found something new out, me and my brothers are pure-bloods."
"But Mom is a first-generation mage," said Elijah.
"I just got done with this research, but here it is." Said Lil, "The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff titles come from the Potter side. Mother parents where squibs, from a long line of them. All the way back to Slytherin and Ravenclaw."
"It is true, Revina was mine," said Sal.
"You married Founder Ravenclaw?" asked Percy.
"Yes, and Godrick and Helga," said Sal, "The smartest of the founders helped me hide the muggleborns and half-bloods."
Then Lady Ravenclaw walked into frame, then said, "Sal, glad you came back to join us."
"Our grandnephew asked for me to return and teach the true way," said Sal. "I have been gone for too long."
"Glad he did," said Revina.
"So, you helped Founder Slytherin hide the Muggle burns and half-bloods?" asked Draco.
"I did, but only was distracting them," said Revina.
"I started Troy as just as a city," said Sal, "Then we divided the city into four parts, under fore fake names. We pulled the Muggleborns and Half-blood from all over the world. We even got some adopted by pure blood families."
"So, Founders Hufflepuff and Gryffindor did not know about this?" asked Percy. "Did you son take over after?"
"I keep the other two distracted," said Revina. "Pushing new subjects and expanding the library, I also expanded me and Sal personal library, in both our manors."
"Figured you both have manors, who own them now?" asked Draco, "Are they still around?"
"Draco, they stayed in the family, Lord Ravenclaw and Slytherin." Said Lil, "For the most part of the time since the founders we keep them occupied. Even expanded the library. That it until around the time of Grindelwald."
"What happened?" asked Sal.
"Turns out on the Potter side, that generation locked down the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Manors and the Founder Mannor, because they went to war with Grindelwald and the Muggles at the time in the second world war. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin side are unknown, but they were locked up by the Potter side, but they seemed to also be taking care of those Manors to."
"Seems like we figured out," said Sal, "They must have been a few generations of squibs, and protection of the two manors went to Lord Gryffindor and Hufflepuff."
"The Potters are the richest family in Great Britton?" asked Draco, "To think I use to think down."
"Draco, remember your bounded with me," said Frank W. "That means, you are a Potter now."
"Yaa, Draco. We will reprogram you," said Lil.
"Can't believe I been so wrong," said Draco.
"Draco, you been told wrong, now you learn." Said Sal, "That the house you through of as Purest was really the house the protect the new blood coming into our world."
"This is new, I think some of us have thangs to think on," said Draco, "New ideas, Lil why does it always seem your right."
"Draco, you know if you would remember that" said Lil, "You to would always be right."
"What is the punishment for saying those words?" asked Sal.
"Draco was our first boy," said Lil, "But other boys and girls joined him in the fun."
He looked at Draco, then Draco said, "First stage is warning, second stage soap in the month, third stage you're in your undies only, last stage your nude. Seems to be working but for a few girls. I learn my lesion when I was still with my undies."
"I bet you wish you did not go commando that first day," said Lil, Sal looked at Lil confused, "Some boys, don't like underwear, under there robs."
"Really?" asked Sal.
"Before the new cooling systems, it uses to be really hot in the castle." Said Lil, "There were days I only had on robs. What with the Mage world and anti tec? I mean do they like freezing or burning and only candles? I like reading with light and not freezing in the winter, how where the dungeons freezing anyway underground places like neutral tempter."
"Not sure, I always wondered the same," said Tor, "Not the tec, but the cold in the dungeons."
"The dark marks are gone, I checked." Said Lil, "The Potions master for my company use to be a death eater."
"Snape?" asked Tor.
"How did you know?" asked Lil. "Yes, it was him."
"He loved your mother," said Tor, "His first friend."
"Will have to talk to him on this," said Lil. "You rest for a couple days, and we will finish this. Remember you are under the protection of house Black."
"Will do," said Tor, then they left, he rested the rest of the day, then Lil and Fleamount came back the next day.
Lil went and scanned him, then said, "You're ready to finish."
"Let's do this," said Tor.
Lil went and scanned him, then said, "Your body is ready to finish this, are you through?"
"Let's do this," said Tor.
Then he had the Death Stone, Tom Riddle's Diary, and the Snake then started working with Fleamount and then restored the three fragments to the spirit. Then he said, "Can you understand you old familiar still?"
"Nagai? Can you hear me?" Tor said.
"You said that in English," said Fleamount.
"Nagai, can you hear me?" Hissed Lil.
"Yes, is that Tom, he does not smell like Tom," Hissed Nagai.
"Yes, and no," Hissed Lil. "His name is Torquil Travers IV, but he in a way is Tom Riddle."
"You are healing him," said Nagai.
"Yes, he is whole," said Lil, "Once we unlock his core, he should be able to understand you. But I built in protect this time. He can't make the spirit anchors, nor can he use deadly spells nor the unforgivable. It will kill him this time. Will you keep him grey at most, grey is fine."
"Sure, he is mine," said Nagai.
"Tor, you core is healing, we should be able to unlock it tomorrow. You should be able to talk to her tomorrow." Said Lil.
"That good," said Tor.
"You know this time, there is protection on you this time," said Lil, "You can't cast the unforgivable, nor a listed of deadly spells, ones who designed to kill."
"That fine," said Tor, "I will have to grow from here. I don't get to be right at an adult."
"No but to be fair, Albus ruined your first one." Said Lil. "If we did not catch him quick we would have been tricked by him."
"Want to watch Star Trek?" asked Lil.
"Sure," said Tor.
Tor got the drinks and Lil showed him how to do the popcorn, while Lil set up the movie. Then they sat down and started watching the movies. After the movies, Tor fell asleep. The next day Lil came in and scanned him while Tor was asleep, then unlocked his core. Then woke him, and asked, "Tor, try the light spell, see start low and then try and make it bright."
He did then it got bright.
"I got all your school stuff but your wand." Said Lil.
"Let's go get it," said Tor, "Invariance test to?"
"Might as well," said Lil.
They went to the bank and tested him, when Griphook said, "He another lost Lord. He owns one Manor and one small vault. About one million gallons."
"Can you get a list of invests for him and make his gallons grow?" said Lil, "Think you should be his account manager to."
"I got two assistants now," said Griphook. "But just to doublecheck the math, I do and approve all investments."
"That assume," said Lil.
"Goblin friend, you made us a lot of gold," said Griphook.
"While I am here, how much of the Dalie Profit am I up to?" asked Lil, "Same goes for the WWR?"
"Every time I see some up for sale I grab it," said Griphook, "Even split between you and your brothers, the Profit is at 75% when we sued Albus you got his 20% the last 25% is owned by the ministry. WWR is 60% even split, with 10% from Albus. Of the last 40%, 20% is owned by the founder, 20% is owned by the mystery. If any of this comes up for sale will grab it."
"Is the profit the only paper, and that one radio station is the only one?" asked Lil.
"Yes," said Griphook.
"Under another name, I want to start another paper or two," said Lil, "No shared staff between the papers. Also want to divide the WWR and have several different stations. Do I own any of the Quibbler?"
"No," said Griphook.
"Is it all owned by Lovegood?" asked Lil.
"55% is," said Griphook, "I will grab the outstanding 45%."
"Please asap," said Lil. "Have you seen any more land for sale in the UK and have you grabbed it."
"We just closed on the next valley north and south of Hogwarts," said Griphook, "Divided between the four Lord titles of the founders."
"What on them?" asked Lil.
"The south is farmlands, north a small town," said Griphook. "The town took more time."
"Get see if there are more elves for the farm," said Lil, "Look for Mages who want to move into the town, new mage only town. Remember the towns are open to the Goblins to. We also need banks in these towns. Have you talked to the managers about the debit cards?"
"Yes, we are still thinking about it," said Griphook.
"Let me know if they want to talk to me," said Lil.
"Will do," said Griphook.
"Also let me know about the Quibbler I would like to have all 45% quickly." Said Lil. "You have a good day."
They left and went and brought the wand for him, then headed back to the house. "Now to test snake langue." Said Lil.
"Tor can you understand me," hissed Nagai.
"Yes," hissed Tor.
"Do you get a snake?" hissed Tor.
"Yes, her name is Roseline." Hissed Lil.
"What breed?" hissed Tor.
"Basilisk." Hissed Lil, "Roselin is wonderful, but I adopted her from her old Master. She needed someone."
"Who was her old master?" asked Tor, "How big is she?"
"She was one of the two original Basilisk," said Lil, "Is the name not familiar? I adopted her from Founder Slytherin."
"The one from the chamber?" asked Tor, "She never said a name, though I never asked."
"Rest and talk to Nagai, then tomorrow morning we go to Hogwarts for sorting and catch up."
"I am eight," said Tor.
"We have halfway through the year," said Lil, "We changed where people go at eight now. Must of this is primary education muggle education and pre magical theory."
"That a good idea." Said Tor, "We need to talk about classes you added, I might have some more ideas."
They talked the rest of the day, then Tom said, "You changed DADA to Defense Magic and Magic Thery."
"Yes, we are teaching Light, and Grey Magic. We are also reclassifying some dark magic as Grey and Light." Said Lil, "Lots of Dark Magic was only their because it was blood magic."
"I know right," said Tor.
"One is the familiar making spell, used blood so automatically dark," said Lil, "You use your own blood, so why dark."
Then they talked for the rest of the day and fell asleep.
