Tarloc's POV

Things at his guild had been somewhat quiet recently. With students preparing for Hogwarts parents were holding off on ward updates. Not that he did many of those anymore.

As the Grandmaster his focus was on assisting the newer masters and approving apprenticeships. It took a lot of work and magical ability to even be considered. Most apprentices dropped out within the first year.

Those that did had several years of hard work ahead of them. Rigorous training and exams. Their guild only took the best. Anyone that couldn't take it was sent home.

Jason Tarloc was one of the few masters who had not taken an apprentice. To date no peaked his interest enough. His own master was in his eighties when he took Jason in. Maybe on day he would find one.

A knock on his office door drew his attention. He called out, "Enter."

Lucius Malfoy entered wearing a button down shirt and slacks. It looked as if he had just come from home. It was rare to see him without some kind of robe on.

Jason gained his feet and greeted, "Lord Malfoy it has been awhile. What can I do for you?"

Lucas of the Swelyn family typically handled the Malfoy family requests. It wasn't often that Lucius came to see him unless there was an issue.

Lucius didnt reply at first. Instead he closed and magically locked the door. Then he put powerful wards to keep people from eavesdropping.

Most people didnt know that Lucius was an adept at warding. He stopped his training less than a year before he could take the final exams. Then the man had lost his father and was forced to take up the mantel of Lord Malfoy. It ended any hopes of finishing his training. Though the training could still be seen even now.

Lucius said moving to stand in front of Jason's desk, "My apologies for not warning you first but I have recieved some startling news. Before I can go any further I need an oath that nothing said here will be spoken about without consent."

It was unusual but he complied, "I Jason Tarloc do swear upon my magic that nothing said today will be repeated by words, writing, or other forms of communication without consent. So I say it so mote it be."

A white flash followed his words. Lucius then held out a parchment instead of answering with words. Reading through it made the hardened old man sick to his stomach.

It was almost enough for him to pull his seats on the Wizengott and fight Dumbledore. That wouldn't help him or the child. All it would do was make the ancient wizard know that people were onto him.

Lucius responded finally, "Unbeknownst to me Lily Potter nee Evans named me godfather. I didn't find out until the young Potter heir confronted me about it. To say I was shocked would be an understatement."

Even Jason knew of the fall out between the Slytherin friends and the young Gryffindor. Lucius at the time was a second year apprentice. He was a little old to be an apprentice but as a quick study he kept up.

Lucius continued, "Today he came to my manor so we could get to know each other. He went outside to spend time with my son. When he went outside the wards checked his intentions. And he felt it."

Jason leaned forward his interest peaked. To be able to sense wards was extremely rare. Jason had a small part of the ability. It had been thirty years since anyone had any significant talent.

He would have to best tested to see how far the ability went. If it was a good then they could look at setting up an apprenticeship.

Jason inquired curiously, "Would the boy be interested in talking to me?"

Lucius lips twitched and that was all he needed to know.

Harrison's POV

They were only alone for a few moments before Lucius returned. Harrison had been tracing transmutation circles on the outside of his pants.

Draco was pacing by the fireplace when it flared green. Immediately the boy stepped back and a grey haired man came through. Ice blue eyes met startling green.

As the floo flared again the man stepped aside, his eyes never leaving the boy's. There was something different about this man. Something powerful.

Lucius came through the floo and he took in the distracted man and boy. Harrison felt something invisible reach out to to him. It was like with the wards.

Harrison felt his magic cautiously reach out to it. His mind put two and two together. It must be the unknown man's magic.

The man's magic soothed his nerves at meeting someone unknown. With everything that happened it was understandable.

Lucius said drawing them from their magics, "Harrison this is Grandmaster Tarloc of the Ward Master Guild. Grandmaster Tarloc this is my godson Harrison Potter and his aunt Petunia Dursley."

Remembering his manners Harrison stood. Tarloc met him halfway and he greeted, "Its nice to meet you Grandmaster Tarloc."

The man's lips twitched in amusement as he replied, "Likewise Mr. Potter," they shook hands as the man continued, "You seem to have an unusual ability."

"Is it really that rare?" He queried.

Tarloc answered sweeping back his open robes revealing a golden stone with an m carved into it, "That it is young one. Most abilities such as ward sensitivity don't appear until your mid teens. It's almost unheard for it to appear so early."

"You're so lucky, Harrison," exclaimed an excited Draco, "I hoped to get the ability from dad but there was no guarantee. Dad trained under the guild before grandfather died. Then he had to stop."

Lucius looked away with a faintly embarrassed look. It was obvious that the information wasn't common knowledge. Though it did explain some things.

Harrison glanced between Tarloc and his godfather as he questioned, "What now?"

A/N thanks for your patience in this update. For the next two months my updates will be slow. I have a broken collarbone and it makes typing slow.
