Haden scratched under Diablo's chin as he waited for his professor to calm down. He sees he's the only one with his own little thing to calm him down. He has to, he can be about as deadly as his father. He hummed gently to Diablo, who nuzzled his cheek. He turned to Severus when he finally sat down. "You good now?" It was a genuine question, not a sarcastic comment.
"Yes, I apologize. I can't believe I followed that man. Trying to make a puppet out of a boy at the age of one." Severus huffed, pulling his shields back up.
"Yes, I know. I bet he wanted to have me in an abusive family…" Haden sighed sadly.
"I imagine he wanted to put you with Petunia, Lily Potter's magic hating sister." Severus pinched the bridge of his nose.
Haden nodded. "They were probably meant to renew each potion, but since I've been in the orphanage for as long as I can remember…." He sighed again. "He is in for one hell of a surprise."
Severus nodded. They both turned to Sharpfire. "We both sincerely apologize." They both bowed their heads to him.
"Don't be, I have read it, and I understand. I do need to figure out how the transactions with the Potter's vaults are going through. I'll have to bring that up to Ragnok. I'll do that later, you two wish to draw money, yes?"
"And get these blocks of me Master Sharpfire." Haden offered a soft smile.
"Yes, indeed, those are most troubling. I'll have them set up the Runic Chamber while we go down to vault 711." Sharpfire rose from his seat. He motioned for the two wizards to follow him.
The two wizards rise and follow the Goblin to the minecart. Haden eyed it uneasily. "I can tell I will probably never like Wizarding transportation."
Severus huffed a laugh as Sharpfire gave a sharp grin. They all got into the minecart.
As soon as it was off, Haden did his best to hold in the curses. Some slipped out, much to Sharpfire's amusement. It soon came to a screeching stop. They got out and walked towards the vault.
"Knew I wouldn't like the bloody thing…" Haden straightened his clothes. He sighed lightly.
He looked at the vault. Sharpfire inserted a key, one that appeared after the test. The locks groan slightly as they open.
Haden blinked at the Black fortune. "Damn…."
Sharpfire simply gave him a nod and ushered him in. "Take this satchel, it has a limitless and feather weight charm."
Haden took it and thanked him. He walked into the vault and got started to put Galleons in it. Once he deemed that enough, he turned and walked out. He nods to Sharpfire, who locked it back up and handed him the key.
"We'll get you your heir rings your next visit whenever that is."
Haden nodded. He scowled when he realized they would have to ride that thing back up. He sat down and glared at the cart. Sharpfire grinned and started it back up.
"I hate it, never again." He scowled as he got out.
"You'll have to use it again when you need to pull money out again." Severus pointed out.
'FUCK.' he swore in pareltongue under his breath.
Sharpfire grinned, then motioned for the young heir to follow him. The Runic chamber should be set up now. Haden sighed and followed.
They made it to heavy duty double doors. Large heavy duty double doors.
Sharpfire opened the door and ushered Haden in, stopping Severus. "You would disrupt the magic."
Severus nodded and waited outside.
A goblin in a white garb ushered Haden to the center of the runes. Said goblin shooed Sharpfire back out.
"Okay Mr. Black, this will hurt, especially with that bound core of yours."
Haden nodded in understanding.
The goblin nodded again. "Please shed your top. We'll be painting runes onto your body. Then, you will lay down so you do not get hurt."
Haden took off his top and sat on his knees, letting the goblins put runes on his body. He could feel the magic.
The head goblin motioned for him to lay down. He did with a nod. They soon started their chanting.
Severus just kept walking, knowing the young heir will follow. Haden did follow, grumbling under his breath about stupid Dumbles. He rolled his shoulders, he was still in pain from everything taken out of his system. He was just happy he could move.
Severus led him out and got out his supply list, stopping Haden before he walked down the stairs. "We'll go to Madam Milkins first for your robes."
Haden nodded. "Yes sir."
Severus nodded and led him to said shop. He opened the door for the boy, the bell jingling. Haden stepped in and let out a soft sigh, the shop was cool. He didn't realize how hot it was outside.
"I'll be with you soon dear." Madam Milkin didn't turn from where she was working on a boy.
Severus blinked when he saw his Godson on one of the stools getting fitted, Narcissa seated just to the side.
Draco's eyes lit up when he saw his Godfather, it slightly turned to confusion at the boy next to him. The boy had short curly black hair, mercury blue eyes. He came up to Severus's shoulders, he seemed taller than Draco by about an inch. But he couldn't really tell from where he was at.
"Severus?" Narcissa stood and went towards the potion master.
"Cissa." He gave her a soft smile, allowing her to have a short hug.
Haden took a step back, slightly behind Severus. His eyes flickered to Madam Milkin. She was finishing up with the blond boy.
"You can get up here dear." She pats the stool next to the blond.
Haden nodded and walked over, getting up onto the stool.
"Stay still dear."
Haden tensed when measuring tapes and needles floated around him. 'To Professor Snape Diablo.'
This caused Milkin, Draco, and Narcissa to freeze. Parsletongue. Severus had an amused smirk, with a slight eye roll.
Diablo slithered off of Haden and went over towards Severus. He waited for the professor to pick him up, which he did.
Haden nodded to him. He then turned his attention back to Milkin. "I'm sorry, I didn't want my snake to be poked on accident." His voice soft and apologetic.
Milkin shook out of her shock. "Its okay dear, just haven't heard that language since…."
"The Dark Lord." He nodded. "I don't know how I can speak it, I am an orphan." He was playing his cards well.
"Oh you poor dear." She gave him a soft smile. She then turned back to Draco. "You're all done dear."
Draco nodded and hopped down, going over to his mother.
Narcissa turned back to Severus, a look that said they were clearly going to talk about this.
"How much have you gotten for Draco?"
"Only his robes."
"Then can me and my charge come with you to get the rest, I'll tell you what I can then."
She nodded. "Alright." She then turned to Draco with a soft smile. "Is that alright?"
"Yes mother." He nodded.
Haden had to look away. He wondered if his mother would have been like that with him. Loving, gentle. He often wonders these things. Especially with his father.
Was his father truly as insane as he was portrayed to be. Or was that his own mask? To scare people?
Hade took a shaky breath, focusing his eyes in front of him. He slowly cleared his mind, wiping his thoughts away. No need to think about it. He'd be lucky to see his father or mother again.
The test said his father was alive, but he was defeated that night. Alive but damaged. And his mother is in Azkaban. Would she have any sanity left if he was ever able to see her. His eyes flickered to Narcissa and Draco. They were his aunt and cousin….but did they even know he existed. Who all knew that the dark lord had a son….
He shook his head. Stop that, don't go down that rabbit hole….you barely came out of it last time. He took slow breaths as Milkin continued to work.
He was okay. There was nothing wrong. Never let on that something is bothering you. It's a weakness. Others feed on weakness. Never let on that you're scared. Never let on that something is wrong.
"You're all done dear." Haden blinked down at her. How long was he stuck in his head. He nodded to her and hopped down.
He went over to Severus and gently held out his hand to Diablo. He smiled at his snake gently. He gently coo'd at him and scratched under his chin. He looked at the others and gave them a small bow of the head.
"Ready to go Haden?"
He nodded. "Yes Professor."
"Lady Malfoy and Heir Malfoy will be joining us, alright?"
Haden nodded again.
They all soon left the shop, going to get their books. Severus and Narcissa falling into easy conversation.
Haden followed them. He turned when Draco cleared his throat.
"Sorry, did you say something? I usually get stuck in my own head." Haden gave an apologetic smile.
"It's alright, just asked if you were a mudbl- muggleborn?"
Haden shook his head. "I am a half-blood. Father was a half-blood, who married a pureblood….at least, I think they were married.." He frowned to himself. "It happened during the climax of the war.."
"Oh, can I know your full name?"
"Just call me Haden, I don't want to be judged by my family name, at least not yet."
Draco nodded. "Alright Haden, then you call me Draco."
Haden had a soft smile. "Alright Draco."
Draco stuck his hand out. "Friends?"
"Friends."
