Chapter 8

The day dawned bright and at the barrow it was complete and utter chaos for the Weasley Family. As always this was normal for the household. The twins Fred and George were trying to cram as much of their jokes and prank materials into their trunks and Molly was policing what they could and couldn't take with them. Percy was frantically running around trying to make sure he had all his homework which he had to steal back from the twins who either hid it around the house in odd hiding places or just plain hid. Ron was trying to sneak snacks and food into his trunk as well as just half-hazardous pack his trunk which because it wasn't packed neatly was a chore to close and had to enlist the help of their father Arthur. And Ginny, the only girl of 6 brothers, was complaining how she wished she could be going to Hogwarts with her brothers and Darian.

Meanwhile in all this hustle and bustle Darian was found at the kitchen enjoying his breakfast and just observing the chaos with his father watching all while reading the newspaper. Laying in front of Darian was the three family grimoire of the Potters, Blacks and the unknown family he had never heard of the Stormshadows.

Currently he was looking over the family tree of the stormshadows, and how they were connected not only to the Potters and Blacks but also as far back as the most renowned dark witch of history, Morgan Le Fae.

As Darian read about his family and their magics he subconsciously ran his hand over his chest of his black mrs. Weasley sweater. Suddenly as he read a page from the stormshadows grimoire he turned to his dad.

Dad, what does it mean to call upon the storms of nature? Darian asked in honest

Charlie finished his sip of tea and looked at his son as he spoke romanian.

It's an ancient lost skill of magic, it speaks of the elementals who could control or use the storms of nature. As you know there are five elements in magic. Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Shadow and in those elements are the subclasses of those elements. Like with Earth. Earth elemental magic subcategories are:

Geokinesis, atmokinesis,crystallokinesis, ferrokinesis, geo-thermokinesis, golem creation, transportation, and for the darker aspects black earth manipulation.

Darian promise me, you will ONLY ever use black earth when it is for safety needs. If it's to protect yourself or the family and friends as a last resort only."

Darian who had been listening to his father with rampant attention sat up straight and looked his dad straight in the eyes.

Charlie watched as his son raised his right arm across his heart with a fist and his wand in his fist and with that oath a band of black and gold shimmered into life around his right wrist with his oath inscribed in the tribal band.

Charlie smiled at his son as he made his oath only to look up and wince as his mother, father and siblings stood in the doorway watching them.

"Good morning everyone. All ready for your first day back to Hogwarts?"

Darian turned to look over his shoulder and smiled at his grandparents.

"Dimineaţă Family!"

Everyone looked to Charlie for translation.

"Sorry guys, in Romania it means Morning. Darian, remember, they don't speak Romanian and while visiting here we have to speak english."

Darian looked at them "sorry i will try and remember to speak english but keep in mind i grew up speaking Romanian first, English third."

Ron looked at his cousin weirdly. "What is your 2nd language if not english?"
Darian smirked as he looked at Ron "My second language has been parseltongue since we learned the dragons at the reserve understood me when I spoke to a black mamba that had slithered into a nest of eggs and asked it not to hurt the eggs. Reha now protects the reserve from outside threats like poachers and other animals that would bring harm to the eggs and dragons."

Molly gasped and paled. "You mean you actively speak to snakes?"

Darian turned to his dad for clarification.

Charlie shrugged as he drank his tea. "Here in Britain it is seen as a dark gift. Not outside of Britain so much."

Darian nodded his head in understanding. "I can understand why many would see it as a dark gift with Voldemort also being a speaker."

The entire Weasley household sans Charlie and Darian flinched.

Ginny screamed and hid behind her mother in fear.

Darian looked sheepish as he got smacked upside the head by his dad.

"Sorry , back home everyone just says his name like one talks about the weather."

Charlie finished his tea and stood up as the clock chimed 9am. "Alright everyone let's do the final run through of trunks and school supplies. Darian you put your grimoires away and get your things."

Darian stood up and gathered his breakfast dishes to put away and closed his grimoires which now showed tiny tabs in different colors and pieces of paper sticking out from inside their many pages. Percy motioned to the books "what do the color tabs signify Darian?"

Darian smiled "oh it's part of my study process. You see, Red is for most important such as family treaties i need to know of as head and heir of these families. Green is interesting spell potions or just to learn for the future. Blue is for future study once I have more training. But Yellow means to wait till I have more training or go ahead from dad to practice as with all magic it is intent based and those tabs are family magics that are above my level and or can be dangerous for others around me other than a fully trained witch or wizard or instructor."

Molly looked like she wanted to interject about the magic within his grimoire but Charlie beat her to it. "Mom, keep in mind you have no say in what he learns as he is the heir for three families and it would be ignorant of him to stay away from the darker magics in this world if his magic is already aligned with those aspects. It would be like asking you to cut your wand in half and expect you to do magic. You know how dangerous that is to a witch or wizard's magical growth."

Molly puckered her lips in disappointment but kept her opinion to herself. She then turned to her other children and started parking orders.

"Alright everyone to the car boys grab your trunks ginny come on dear. Arthur, will you help Darian with his trunk?"

Darian smiled "thanks grandma but i don't need help with my trunk."

Molly stopped and tears filled in her eyes and she blushed as she took in being called grandma.

Charlie smirked at his mother.

"I already have my trunk packed and it's on my person.'' He reached under his weasley jumper and pulled out a necklace that had a tiny trunk on a chain. He then proceeded to take the necklace off over his head he then laid it on the table and with a tap of his finger the trunk charm began to enlarge to his black trunk with viking dragon accents with the initials DW in silver engravings. All over the outsides were runes and pictures of dragons and symbols.

Once the lip opened with a hiss from Darian he smirked at the twins "I wouldn't try and get into my trunk cousins this is parseltongue warded so unless you want a stinging hex heading your way stay out of my trunk unless i'm with you."

The twins nodded their heads. "You sound like you expect to be broken into when we get to school. Gryffindors don't do that kind of thing."

Darian watched as the twins bounced between themselves in their twinspeak.

Darian smirked, "Who said anything about me being a Gryffindor I just might end up in Ravenclaw."

Charlie mumbled under his breath "more like a snake than a raven"

Molly turned to her son

"What was that charlie?"

"Nothing mom."

Darian took out his wand from his armband strapped to his left arm. He then proceeded to tap his trunk in a pattern that was so quick on the side no one saw the order. They then watched as the trunk glowed and a shelf like that of a bookcase rose out of the trunk. Darian was able to place his grimoires back on the shelf before it glowed once more and melted back into the trunk and then closed and everyone heard him hiss the passcode and then watched as it returned to his necklace.

Once more around his neck Darian turned to his dad and said he was ready. Charlie smirked "we will floo and see you at the train."

Everyone made their way to the car which was a light blue Ford Anglia 105E while Darian and Charlie walked over to the fireplace and took up the floo powder on the mantle. Darian slung his cross body bag over his head across his body as he stepped into the flames and dropped his powder as he proclaimed clear and crisply

"PLATFORM 9 ¾"

And with a whoosh of green spinning flames away he went to start his journey to Hogwarts followed by his father to see him off.
