Chapter 12
Obsidian sat angrily in the manors parlor, waiting for Tom to return with something. It was two days ago that Tom had told him that he was going to have to be attending Hogwarts come September. He had recently stopped being angry at To- no his father, when he realized that he had spoken the truth. The best place to learn WAS at a school.
Obsidian was absentmindedly spinning on a bar stool when Voldemort came in one hand behind his back. Obsidian looked at him and narrowed his eyes at Voldemort's unseen arm as the Dark Lord approached him.
"~What's that?~" Obsidian inquired.
Voldemort smirked mischievously and withdrew a small box from behind his back. He glanced down at the box nonchalantly "~ oh this? It was just something that no longer had a use for me and I thought that it might for you.~" He handed the box to Obsidian who just looked back at Voldemort curiously.
Voldemort fidgeted and headed out the door but muttered a quick "~Happy Birthday~" before he closed the door.
Obsidian raised his eyebrows (well one unscarred eyebrow) at his father's strange antics. He slowly looked down at the small black box in his hands and opened it. Inside was a silver and emerald ring, the ring was fairly thick and had a crest on the front. The crest had snakes around the edges and a large ornate S in the middle, Obsidian recognized the crest from Salazar's painting. Dawning came upon him that he was now Tom's heir, thus Salazar's heir. Obsidian looked at the ring one last time in the box before slipping it onto his right ring finger as he often saw Lucius wearing rings.
Obsidian hopped off of the barstool and walked out of the parlor. He headed into the dining room where Barty was eating breakfast, Barty glanced at him then motioned for him to join him. Obsidian looked at the food Barty was eating and inwardly gagged but sat down anyways. Barty ordered the house elves to make Obsidian a rare steak and it appeared in front of Obsidian within a couple of minutes. He set to work on it as Barty read the newspaper, then angrily threw it down.
"This is an outrage!" he shouted "I'm not nearly this ugly!" angrily Barty gestured to a column in the daily prophet that stated that he died in Azkaban that night.
Obsidian's eyes widened dramatically at Barty's antics. He had understood him! Obsidian abruptly stood up and ran out of the room to find his father with Barty staring after him curiously.
Obsidian ran into Voldemort's study where Voldemort sat enjoying a cup of coffee and looking over some papers. Obsidian walked up to Voldemort who just looked up at him. "Yes Obsidian?" he asked.
Obsidian frowned obviously Tom had done something to the ring if he knew that Obsidian could understand him. "You used magic on this ring" Obsidian said in a thick accent (he extends the S's into a sort of hissing noise).
Voldemort put down his coffee and smiled, "I know, I'm glad that you noticed." Obsidian frowned and Voldemort gestured for him to sit down and he did. "Lucius is coming by today with his son, Draco. You should be nice to the boy since you're going to be spending a lot of time together."Obsidian raised his eyebrow and Voldemort continued. "Draco is going to teach you everything you need to know from the previous years that you didn't attend at Hogwarts." Obsidian nodded and flinched as he heard a crack from downstairs. Voldemort stood up "it appears that their here."
Obsidian followed Voldemort downstairs to the living room where Lucius stood dusting himself off with what looked to be a smaller short haired version of him standing next to him tense. As Voldemort reached the bottom of the staircase with Obsidian close behind Lucius looked up and greeted them. He bowed to Voldemort "My Lord" he said then bowed to Obsidian "Young Master". Obsidian nodded back to him and Voldemort approached Lucius.
"It appears that Severus has informed you of Obsidian's identity?" Voldemort inquired.
Lucius nodded "Yes my lord" he replied and the two started an intense discussion about Lucius' plan to break into Azkaban that soon led them up the stairs and into the Dark Lord's study. Obsidian yawned and moved toward one of the couches that occupied the room but Draco intercepted him.
Draco looked Obsidian up and down then seemingly satisfied he nodded, "So you're the Dark Lord's son?" he asked and Obsidian merely nodded. Draco smirked and held out his hand, "Draco Malfoy"
Obsidian looked at the hand for a second before taking it "Obsidian….Riddle" he replied, having to remember his father's last name. The two shook hands before Obsidian led them to the couch where he slumped down in it much to Draco's shock. Draco sat on the couch perfectly straight and would have expected the Dark Heir to have had the manners to do the same.
Draco shook of his shock and addressed Obsidian "So I have a few questions before I start our lessons." Obsidian's mouth quirked at the corners before resuming its normal state and he nodded for Draco to go on. " One, what's wrong with your voice?, Two, why are you covered in scars, Three why is your tongue forked?, and Four, do you have a wand?"
Obsidian laughed out loud at Draco's questions, "Well aren't you the curious one" he remarked. "To answer your questions I speak like I do because of only having spoke parseltongue for most of my life, my face is scarred from numbers of successful battles, my tongue is forked from what father says is staying in animagus form for an extended period of time, and lastly no I do not have a wand."
Draco gawked at Obsidian, he knew parseltongue and already had an animagus form! Draco didn't even have an animagus form himself yet! Draco then collected himself and nodded, "I agree to teach you, but first you need a wand."
Obsidian smirked, "fine, I'll go get father's consent for us to get me a wand."
Draco nodded and the two headed up the stairs towards Voldemort's study. Upon getting closer to the study Draco and Obsidian could hear a heated discussion going on from within the room. Obsidian hesitantly knocked on the door and the voices stopped.
The Dark Lord called "Come in" from within the room and Obsidian and Draco entered the room. Obsidian looked at Lucius who was sprawled over a map scribbeling notes on it while Voldemort glanced at him.
"Father," he inquired, "Is it ok if me and Draco go out to get me a wand?" Obsidian asked.
Voldemort inwardly smiled, he called me father! But outwardly remained calm. "you may but only if you take Bartemius with you, but before that come here for a second."
Obsidian looked at Voldemort curiously before walking over to him, Voldemort quickly waved his wand before Obsidian could move and put a glamour on him that erased his scars, changed his slit pupils to a round shape, and made his mouth look remotely normal.
Lucius glanced up from where he was looking at the map and frowned, "He's missing something." Lucius walked over to Obsidian and tied his hair back. "There" Lucius remarked and Draco joined them in looking at Obsidian and the three nodded.
Obsidian frowned he did not like being treated like a doll. He motioned to Draco and the two headed out the door towards the dining room and Voldemort and Lucius continued discussing Lucius' Azkaban plans.
Barty sat in the dining room munching on a piece of toast when Obsidian and Draco Malfoy walked up to them. He looked over at Draco to see what he wanted but was shocked when Obsidian spoke, "Would you accompany us to get me a wand?"
Barty chocked on his toast and Draco had to run over and hit him on the back. Barty regained his composure and looked over at Obsidian, "Since when can you speak English?" he asked.
Obsidian held up his hand and showed his ring to Barty, "Father found a charm that allows me to speak English with this ring." Barty nodded at the explanation.
"Ok I'll take you guys to Diagon Alley and Knockturn alley to get you a registered and unregistered wand," Obsidian nodded, "Just gives me a few seconds to change." Barty put down the toast and went hurriedly upstairs.
Obsidian turned to Draco who held out his hand, Obsidian raised an eyebrow at him.
"I want to see the ring." Draco said, and Obsidian sighed and placed his hand in front of Draco's face. Draco held Obsdian's hand up and scrutinized the ring before dropping Obsidian's hand and looking at Obsidian in awe. "That's the Slytherin family ring!" he said, "I heard that it had been missing for years!"
Obsidian shrugged "I guess Tom found it and thought it would make a nice birthday present."
Draco's eyes widened, "It's your birthday? I'll have to get you something when we're out!" Draco exclaimed.
Obsidian smiled at the blonde, he'd only met him a couple of hours ago and already the boy wanted to buy him a birthday present!
Barty came downstairs dressed in a suit with a nice black robe over it, he was charmed to look like a lightly tanned brown haired man with medium length hair and a slight beard. Draco scoffed at Barty and the three flooed to Diagon Alley.
When they arrived Obsidian swore never to do that again, he almost vomited when he shakily stepped out of a fire place in a small tavern. Barty and Draco helped Obsidian out of the fireplace and looked at them groggily, "never again."
Barty laughed and the three walked onto the busy main road of Diagon Alley. Barty led Draco and Obsidian to Ollivander's wand shop and Draco hid a snigger as they entered. Once inside the shop the noise from outside immediately ceased. Barty walked up to the counter and rang the bell, as they were waiting Draco moved to sit on the bench but soon noticed it was covered in a thick layer of dust so he settled on standing.
Obsidian looked around the shop, it was dirty and had cobwebs in every corner, in front of him behind the counter lie stacks upon stacks of long thin boxes. Obsidian sniffed the air with his tongue and sneezed, the air was chock full of dust.
An old man suddenly appeared behind the counter, "watch out not to take to deep of a breath, lad. Most first timers end up in a coughing fit, don't know why though."
"Ahem" barty said, getting the old man's attention, "We are here to get a wand for….my nephew, he recently moved from Romania, and thought it proper to get him a real English wand."
The old man smirked and noticed Draco in the corner and winked at him which Draco frowned in response. "Now then is this the boy?" Ollivander pointed to Obsidian who frowned at him. Barty nodded and Ollivander quickly grabbed a ruler and measured Obsidian's arm who immediately tensed up at being touched without his permission.
Ollivander immediately went into the back of the room and pulled out a box, "Try this one out." He said and opened the box and handed a wand to Obsidian. Obsidian looked down at the wand in confusion and looked to Draco. Draco sighed and moved his hand in a swishing motion, Obsidian nodded and copied Draco's motion. A chair across from Obsidian immediately burst into flame and Ollivander plucked the wand out of Obsidian's hand, "definitely not that one." He said.
Obsidian tried at least 15 more wands until Ollivander scratched his chin and went into the back, not returning until a couple of minutes later. In his hand was a black box, he looked at Obsidian, "Maybe," he said. He opened the box and handed Obsidian a wand, "Why don't you give this one a try lad."
Obsidian looked at the wand and waved it towards the incinerated chair and the chair immediately returned to its previous form. Ollivander stood wide eyed, "Intriguing," he said.
Obsidian frowned and handed Ollivander the wand so he could ring it up, "What is?" Obsidian asked.
"I remember every wand I have ever sold, and it just so happens that the brother of that wand was sold to the darkest man in history." Ollivander said, Obsidian frowned and raised an eyebrow. Ollivander leaned close to him and whispered "The Dark Lord Voldemort".
Draco and Barty had heard Ollivander and had gone wide eyed. Barty paid for the wand with extra money he borrowed from Lucius and the three walked back out onto the street.
When they had emerged from Ollivander's Draco and Barty looked at him in awe, "Woah!" Draco said, "You have the brother wand to your fathers! That's so cool!"
Barty nodded in agreement, "You must be destined for greatness, I mean look at what my Lord did with that wand's brother!"
Draco turned around to nodded enthusiastically but crashed to the ground. Obsidian helped Draco get up and they looked at what Draco had crashed into. Obsidian only recognized one of the two that were standing near them sneering.
Obsidian frowned, one of them was the pudgy arrogant boy he met (Kind of) at Hogwarts, the other had eye melting orange red hair and freckles. Obsidian frowned at them while Draco was dusting himself off. The pudgy one stepped in front of the red head and looked at Draco menacingly, with a haughty smile on his face,
"Watch where you're going Malfoy, I don't want to get your snake germs onto my robes."
The red head behind him burst out laughing, and Obsidian frowned again he knew not of these "snake germs". Draco smirked and met the confrontation,
"Why Longbottom and Weasley, out window shopping? Because I know that Weasley can't afford anything here, so Longbottom must be the one with the gold. But I heard from my father that your granny's strapped for money, so she must be whoring about with the local drunk aye? Longbottom?"
Neville's face turned bright red, "Why you slimy Slytherin." He said shaking in rage. He moved to lunge at Draco but Obsidian jumped in front of him and grabbed one of Neville's arms. Neville screamed in surprise gaining the attention of a few passerby's but Barty hurriedly explained that they were just having a friendly argument.
Obsidian squeezed Neville's arm harder and Neville winced in pain tears pricking his eyes, Obsidian frowned and got close enough to Longbottom that he could smell the fear in his breath. His face remained deathly calm as he grabbed Longbottom's face with his free hand and brought it closer to his, "Don't you ever try to harm my FRIEND again, if you do I will destroy everyone you care about." Obsidian hissed. Then abruptly he dropped the boy on the ground and walked towards Draco and Barty who were looking at Obsidian in awe. Obsidian wiped his hands on the cloak that Tom had made him wear.
Draco approached him hastily, "That was amazing Obsidian! I don't think that anyone's ever grabbed the boy who lived like that!"
Obsidian brushed off the comment then wrinkled his nose, "I think the boy shamed himself when I was holding him."
Draco burst out into laughter and Barty led the two down towards Knockturn alley.
Neville sat on the ground sopping wet in his own urine, he turned around to look for Ron, but his friend was nowhere in sight. He looked around for one of the many shoppers to help him up but none even looked at him. He shakily stood up and looked towards where the backs of Malfoy, the black haired boy with the accent, and the older goatee man as they disappeared into Knockturn alley.
He shook with anger and ran the opposite direction towards an alley, one day he would get revenge on the black haired boy for embarrassing him, and that day would be soon. He ran off into a back alley chuckling to himself.
Barty opened the door to Gellman's war wands and held it while Obsidian and Draco walked in, Draco looked around in awe, "I've been in this alley a bunch of times but never even heard of this shop!" he exclaimed.
Obsidian looked around at the displays of masterfully carved sticks, like Tom's, but these ones had intricate designs in them and had ornate metal handles at the end. Draco appeared next to Obsidian looking at the wands, "I wonder what the metal is for at the end?" he asked. Obsidian nodded also wondering the point, but soon they heard chuckling behind them. They turned and saw a girl standing behind the previously empty counter.
She had short choppy blond hair with a bird tattoo on her neck and pierced ears, she also had warm brown eyes. She smiled at the two and leaned on the desk, "Magic flows through metal easier then wood, so it's good for channeling your magic from your hand, through the metal, and out through the wood tip. You would think an all metal wand would be more efficient but if you had all that magic flowing that easily, it would explode. The metal ones always do."
Draco looked at her in awe but Obsidian was basically just confused. The girl seemed to notice Barty staring at her and she smiled to him, "Mr. Crouss, I didn't see you there. I see you brought some friends with you this time."
Barty coughed, "Yes Lucinda, I er did and you can call me Barty, short for Bartholemew! Not anything strange like Bartemius I mean…"
Lucinda laughed and Obsidian snickered in the corner while Draco held a hand over his mouth.
"Ok then Barty, what can I do you for?" Lucinda asked.
Barty rubbed the back of his head nervously, "I'm here to get a wand for my nephew….. Orion."
Lucinda smiled and Obsidian raised an eyebrow at Barty who just shrugged in response.
Lucinda gestured for Obsidian to come over, "OK Orion let me get a good look at you."
Obsidian walked to the front of the counter while Draco looked on curiously and Barty just watched. Lucinda walked around Obsidian looking at him intently, "hmm" she said, "this is going to be a tough one but I think I may have the wand for you."
She ran into the back and Barty took out his wand and frowned, "Mine doesn't have a metal handle" he frowned. Obsidian shrugged and Lucinda came back,
"Yours doesn't have a metal handle because you're an adult Bartholemew, the handles are good for younger ones whose magic is not fully developed." Lucinda explained and Barty nodded in acceptance. "Ok Orion," she said, "Why don't you try this one out." Lucinda handed Obsidian an all black wand with a dark red cracks going down it, it also had a silver handle that twisted around the bottom of the wood and ended in a curve.
Obsidian looked at it and then swished it like he had done in the other shop except this time all of the lights suddenly went out, Obsidian heard laughing and suddenly the lights came back on and Lucinda was holding her wand. She put down her light brown wand with light blue swirls on it and took the wand from Obsidian, "this wand is especially dark oriented, and its core is basilisk venom. When you turn seventeen and your magic is fully developed you can just pop the wand out of the handle like so." Lucinda took the wand out of the metal handle revealing a tiny D etched into the bottom. She popped the wand back into the handle and handed it back to Obsidian who took it and put it in the pocket of his robe.
"OK," Lucinda said, "that'll be 19 galleons, it costs a little more for one with a handle." She said with a smile.
"WAIT!" Draco exclaimed, and everyone in the room turned to him, Obsidian raising an eyebrow. Draco's cheeks reddened, "…I…want one too…"
Lucinda laughed, "Business is always welcome! Don't just stand there boy, come here then!"
Obsidian moved out of the way to make room for Draco who came up to the counter. Lucinda gave him a quick look over and smiled, "I've got the perfect one for you." She said. Lucinda reached under the counter and came back up with a clean grey box. She handed the box to Draco, Draco opened it and was wide eyed,
"It's beautiful!" he exclaimed and Obsidian snorted. Draco glared at him but Obsidian just smiled. Draco took the wand out of the box, it was white with light grey swirls covering the top and a silver handle that was in an intricate swirl pattern around the hand hold. Draco popped off the bottom, and looked at the marking, "W?" he asked.
Lucinda smiled, "Just give it a try," she coaxed. Draco gave the wand a gentle swish and a strong wind suddenly blew through the shop knocking over boxes, and sending everyone ducking for cover. When it ended everyone hesitantly sat up looking to make sure no one was hurt, Draco sat up and started laughing at Obsidian.
Somehow in the windstorm his hair had come undone and was now currently a mess completely covering his face. He parted his hair and glared at Draco who instantly shut up, but then Obsidian started laughing and everyone soon joined him.
Once they had paid and Draco walked out holding his new Gryphon feather core wand, he informed Barty and Obsidian that he had to go somewhere and to meet him at the ice cream parlor. He then rushed off leaving Barty and Obsidian standing in the dust.
Obsidian shrugged and started heading back to the main road of Diagon alley. They met up with Draco an hour later outside of the ice cream parlor, Draco was holding a large bag,
"Why are you two standing outside?" he asked.
Obsidian shuddered, "That place smelled too sweet indoor." He replied.
Barty sighed, "He took one step inside then ran out and barfed in an alley."
Draco's eyes widened, "Woah!" he exclaimed, "You have a really sensitive nose!" Obsidian shrugged in response. "Anyways," Draco said, "Here." He handed Obsidian the bag, "Happy Birthday!" he exclaimed.
Obsidian opened the bag and inside was a striped black and green scarf, Obsidian took the scarf looked at it. He smiled, "Thank you Draco, it's wonderful."
Draco smiled, "Well one things Malfoy's are good at Is picking presents."
Barty smiled at the two and led them back to the tavern where they had flooed to before.
Once the three walked out of the fireplace, Obsidian staggering out, in Riddle Manor, Nagini approached Obsidian with a small paper parcel. Obsidian looked down at her, "~ssssssss ssssthhhhsssss ssssssss!~" She exclaimed excitedly and Obsidian looked at her in confusion, then it dawned on him. He removed the Slytherin ring and then addressed Nagini,
"~Could you repeat that my dear?~" he asked.
"~Of course!~" she said, "~I said, I've been looking for you all day, I've been spending the past few weeks making this for you, but since today is your birthday I thought it appropriate to give it to you now!~" She thrust the parcel at Obsidian with her tail, Obsidian bent down and picked up the parcel.
It was wrapped in brown paper, obviously she had had some help from someone with hands. He opened it carefully and inside was a bracelet of different colors and sized scales weaved together with a thread to make a small chain. Obsidian held it up to the light and the scales reflected it in a glimmer of light. He slipped it on his wrist and then looked down at Nagini in awe, "~ how did you do this? It's beautiful!~" he exclaimed and Nagini fidgeted.
"~It wasn't that hard~" she said "~ once the snake's found out that I was collecting donated scales for prince Obsidian they all volunteered and soon I had enough for the bracelet.~"
Obsidian smiled, "~ thank you, it's the best thing I received all day~" Obsidian lifted up Nagini and embraced her, Nagini was set back down all flustered,
"~Well,~" she said, "~ it's getting pretty late and I better go to bed just in case master's there or a mouse or- Bye!~" Nagini rushed off and Obsidian smiled.
Obsidian turned around to Draco's wide eyed face, Barty had left for his bedroom. Draco came up to Obsidian once he'd slipped his ring back on.
"I didn't know you were friends with Nagini" he exclaimed.
" I didn't know that it was need to know information" Obsidian replied.
"I think it's something your best friend should know!"
Obsidian raised an eyebrow, "Best friend?"
Draco got all flustered, "Well it's just I thought that well since you stood up for me and-"
Obsidian raised a hand to stop him, "I understand Draco, since you're the only person my age that I know, and we'll be going to Hogwarts together in a month I guess that you are my best friend."
Draco smiled, "Now then, BEST FRIEND, wanna tell me why your all buddy buddy with Nagini? My father said she's a cruel and mean snake."
Obsidian pffed, "She's the reason that I'm here at all. I met her in the woods when I was in my basilisk form and she introduced me to Tom"
"Your Animagus form is a basilisk?" Draco exclaimed, "I didn't think anyone had magical creatures for animagus forms!"
Obsidian shrugged, "well I am a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin so maybe I'm special. Any other questions?"
Draco thought about it for a minute, "Can I see it?"
Obsidian smirked, "If we can convince our dad's to let you stay the night I can show you at midnight when everyone's asleep."
Draco quickly nodded and the two ran up the stairs to find Lucius and Voldemort.
After much searching they found them drinking tea in the library, Obsidian walked in with Draco behind him.
Voldemort looked up from a book he was reading while Lucius was scribbling on a parchment, "Yes Obsidian?" he asked.
"Tom, I was wondering if it would be alright if Draco stayed the night?"
Voldemort frowned at being called Tom again but smiled when he heard the request, "Of course it's ok he said, if Lucius is fine with it."
"Huh? Yes, whatever." Lucius replied without looking up from his work.
Obsidian nodded a goodbye at Voldemort and the two left. For the rest of the day Draco taught Obsidian basic spells with his Hogwarts wand.
While the Dark Lord's preparations for the Azkaban Prison breakout came to a close and he called his Death Eaters.
