Ch 11: Summer b4 yr 4 prt 2

The day before the quidditch match found Draco and Ridire getting ready to go. Draco's family had been invited by the Minister to be in the Top Box. Ridire, his parents, and his grandfather also had tickets for the Top Box. They were leaving early so that they could set up their tent for after the match.

Ridire was packing extra clothes into his pack with other necessities. He then changed into muggle clothes. He wore black jeans and a black shirt with a silver skull imprinted on the front. It was then that Draco walked in wearing dark jeans and dark green shirt. He had his pack slung over his shoulder. "Hey, Ridire. Ready to go? Everyone else waiting in the entrance hall."

Ridire nodded and followed Draco out the door. The two boys walked down the corridor until they reached the entrance hall. They then followed the adults out the door and through the manor's forest. On a nearby hill, on the other side of the Plotless ward, they found the portkey they were going to take to the campgrounds.

Once they reached the grounds they found their camp manager. The entire group sneered in disgust at the muggles. They quickly left to go find their campground. Once their

Lucius waved his wand and erected the tent.

Draco and Ridire then decided to explore. As they wandered the wood near the campground, they discussed the match. "Who do you think will win, Ridire?"

Ridire paused in thought. "Well, the Bulgarians have a very good seeker, but the Irish have an awesome teem this year. It's hard to say who will win."

Draco nodded in agreement. "I think that Krum will catch the snitch. He's the best seeker in the league."

Ridire nodded. "But I think Ireland will win the match. If they can get enough goals they can do it."

Draco nodded. "It's possible, but we'll see what happens."

They eventually made their way back to the campsite. Tayla handed the boys Omnioculars. "Come on boys. Take to get to our seats."

They made their way towards the stadium that wizards had built for the occasion. They took the magical lifts up to the Top Box. The adults talked with the Minister with barely disguised disgust. Draco and Ridire talked excitedly about the match. They stood near edge of the box.

Draco happened to look down and grinned. He nudged Ridire and pointed at the box below them. Ridire gave a feral smile. Ridire decided that the fates loved him. Below them sat the Potters. Austin was directly below them decked out in the Bulgarian colors.

The underage trackers had been removed from their wands so Ridire discreetly took his wand out. He muttered spell and a paint filled balloon formed a few feet below him. He released the spell and the balloon fell on Austin's head. He became covered in puke green paint. Draco and Ridire quickly moved away from the edge of the box and Ridire quickly hid his wand. There was a loud scream of outrage and the adults paused in their conversation before talking again. Draco and Ridire failed to hold back their sniggers.

Ridire's grandfather, disguised as Professor Lenox, suddenly appeared behind the two boys. "Something tells me that you two are up to something."

Ridire put on an innocent face. "Of course not, Professor. How could you accuse us of pouring paint on the Potter "thing"? We would never do something like that."

Lenox snorted and shook his head. "Just don't get caught."

"Of course, Professor!"

Finally the match started, but that did not stop Ridire and Draco from tormenting Austin. A few minutes into the match Ridire pulled out his wand again and caused neon yellow feathers to give themselves to Austin. Draco also pulled out his wand and cast a spell. Peacock feathers sprouted from Austin's backside.

After the match the boys quickly returned to their tent. Once there they broke down in laughter. Austin had been barely recognizable after all the harmless spells he had been hit with. Untraceable spells made it all the funnier. Potter senior had also been affected by some of the spells, but unable to do anything about it. Ridire and Draco had escaped so they wouldn't get caught.

The boys chatted excitedly until their parents arrived in their death eaters' robes. Ridire raised an eyebrow. "Where are you all going? And why weren't we invited?"

Ridire's grandfather appeared. "Why? Did you want to join in?"

"Depends on what it is."

"A few of the Inner Circle want to have some fun, want to make the Wizarding World uneasy."

"Well, I'm up for it. Don't know about Draco here though. He needs his beauty sleep."

Draco scowled at Ridire and reached up to tug on one of Ridire's fuzzy ears. Ridire yelped in pain. He bared his fangs at Draco. Draco only raised an eyebrow. "You're the one who started it."

Ridire rolled his eyes and pulled out his wand. He flicked it and his robes changed to his death eater's robes. Draco's changed as well. Ridire then pulled his mask out of his pocket. He grinned at his grandfather. "Would this answer your question?"

Tom laughed and also pulled out his mask. Though, as the Dark Lord, his mask was marked so that his followers would know him. He smirked at those around him and placed on his mask. "Lets have some fun."

Awhile later Ridire and Draco separated from the group and quickly switched their robes back. They then slipped into a small patch of forest to wait for the Dark Lord's signal. Not a moment later, Ridire's hidden Mark gave a twinge. He pulled out his wand and wordlessly cast Morsmorde. He then immediately erased the spell's echo from his wand. He heard a twig snap and hurriedly stuck his wand back in its holster. The next moment three persons stumbled into the clearing. One was loudly exclaiming about the Dark Mark that now hung eerily in the sky. The idiot was an almost returned to normal Austin Potter.

The only girl of the three spotted Ridire and Draco. "What are you two doing here!?"

Ridire sneered. "What's it to you, Granger?"

The other boy's face went as red as his hair. "I bet they're the ones to cast the spell!"

Austin started yelling obscenities at the two Slytherins. Suddenly, Ridire pulled Draco down as Stunners erupted over their heads. The other three had also somehow managed to escape the spells. The Weasley's father rushed into the clearing. "Stop! Stop! That one is my son!"

Wizards surrounded the five students with their wands out. James Potter rushed into the clearing moments after Arthur Weasley. He grabbed Austin protectively. He then saw

Ridire and Draco. He attempted to sneer. "Well, well. Look what we have here. A Death Eater's son… and a half breed."

Ridire kept his face blank. Draco only had a slight look of disdain. The two boys said nothing. Potter senior went to say something before Lucius and Damien strode into the clearing. Lucius demanded, "What is going on here?"

Damian stood behind Ridire and placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. "You alright, pup?"

"Yes, father."

Damian squeezed his son's shoulder before looking at the assembled group of wizards.

"Is there a reason why you have fired upon defenseless students?"

Several wizards shifted nervously before one of the brave ones spoke. "The Mark was created from here. We felt it, but could not catch the castor's signature."

Damien squeezed Ridire's shoulder again. "So you thought it may be a student. Who of which, if I may remind you, are not allowed to do magic out of school."

Many of the wizards looked shamefaced and shifted nervously. Damien sneered lightly.

"Exactly. Good night, gentlemen."

Lucius grabbed Draco's shoulder and both men apparated their sons out. Back at the

Manor, Damian turned to his son. "You need to be more careful. You could have been caught."

Ridire nodded. "Yes, father, I know. But those three Gryffindorks stumbled upon us before we could apparate out. I'll do better next time, father."

Damian nodded and then smiled. He looked over at Draco, too. Lucius had disappeared.

"Both of you go to bed. It's been a long day."

Ridire hugged his father and then the boys made their way to bed.

RRRRR

The rest of summer vacation passed quickly. Ridire and Draco spent most of the time together. A few days before school they went to Diagon Alley. It was crowded with all the last minute shoppers but the two boys ignored them. After they finished their school shopping Ridire called a house-elf to take all their purchases back to the manor. Then, Ridire dragged Draco towards Knockturn Alley. He pulled his hood and pulled out his wand. Draco gave Ridire a slightly confused look before also pulling up his hood and following the young half-demon. "What are you doing, Ridire?"

Ridire paused. He turned his head towards Draco. "From now on until I tell you, call me 'young master'. Got it?"

Draco froze in shock for a moment before giving a small nod. "I understand, Young Master. But, if I may ask my earlier question?"

Ridire nodded. "I'll answer you later, Draco. For now just follow me and stay quiet."

Draco gave a short bow and followed the half-demon towards a dingy shop. Ridire entered the shop and made his way towards the counter. He stood there silently with arms folded until the owner finally noticed him.

The man glared at him. He spoke in a scratchy voice. "What do you want, boy?"

Ridire spoke in an arrogant and dark voice. "Do you really think you should be speaking to me like that?"

The owner fell back in shock and fell into a low and cowering bow. "Forgive me, young Master! I didn't know it was you!"

"Of course. Do you have that book I wanted?"

Quivering in fear the man nodded and ran off to get the book. He came back quickly and

Ridire paid for the worn leather book. Ridire then pulled out a portkey. He and Draco disappeared.

Back at the manor Ridire set the book on his desk and turned to Draco. "Sorry about that,

Dray. I didn't want to talk about anything in the Alley. I didn't want to be overheard."

Draco smiled and pulled Ridire into a hug. "I understand. Will you tell me now though?"

Ridire pulled back and sat down on his bed. He motioned for Draco to sit next to him.

"You remember the incident in first year with James Potter? When he mentioned something about a mark on my cheek when I was born?" Draco nodded and Ridire continued. "Well, I had remembered that I had seen a mention of it in some book. I found the book mentioning the mark but it was only that: I mention of it. I needed to find the information. Only recently I found a book with more about the mark." He motioned to the book he just bought. "That's the book there."

Draco stood and walked towards Ridire's desk. He picked up the book and went to sit by

Ridire again. "Shall we look it up now, Ri?" Ridire laughed and nodded. He took the book from Draco and started flipping through the pages. Draco frowned. "How do you know what mark you are looking for?"

Ridire looked up and paused. "A mark only shown for a few moments after birth, black, and with a strange aura. Not many marks are like that."

"Done your research?"

Ridire laughed and nodded. He went back to the book. After a few moments he stopped at a page. "I found it. Doesn't have much information though." Draco looked excited. Ridire started reading the text. " 'An Heir's Mark only appears for a short time after the heir's birth. Still, this is an unusual mark. It only appears on the heirs of ancient lines, sometimes lines thought long since died out. Also, these marks do not appear on any heir. It will only appear on the heir that is deemed worthy enough for the line's power. The heir with the Heir's Mark will receive the power associated with the line that the Mark represents.'" Ridire looked up at Draco. "So now we know what the mark represents. But I am the Heir to which ancient line? There must be a way to find out." Ridire skimmed through the rest of the text and then sighed. "There's nothing. My search will continue."

He closed the book and set it aside. Draco crawled up to him and pulled him into an embrace. He ran a finger down Ridire's furry ear. Ridire shivered and closed his eyes, resting his head against Draco's shoulder.

Draco smiled. "I'm sure you'll find it eventually, Ridire." Draco laid back and held his friend close to him. The two boys soon drifted off to sleep.
