Broken Angel
Chapter 7: School is About to Start
Riley and Remus both stopped to look around as they arrived at their destination. They had portkeyed to Britain, and Remus had Riley side Apparate with him, to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Remus... it's been forever." The man behind the bar stated as the two entered.
"It's good to see you again Tom. Riley this is Tom, he owns the Leaky Cauldron here." Remus introduced the two.
"Nice to meet ya lass. Is there anything I can get you Remus?" Tom asked.
"A room. If you've got one. We've got business at Gringotts and this one has to get her supplies for Hogwarts." Remus replied.
"Ah... off to Hogwarts are ya? I wish you the best of luck." Tom stated as he fished out a key and handed it to Remus.
"Thank you." Riley replied with a smile.
"Alright. Let's go deal with the goblins first, then we'll go shopping." Remus told her as they headed out to Diagon Alley.
Riley was so excited. She took in the Alley and all its splendor. It was jam packed with people, and activity. Riley wasn't a stranger to crowded cities or anything, but this was her first real entrance into the magical world. She'd been to a few magical places in France and Germany but not many.
They made their way to Gringotts. Upon entering Riley immediately took notice of the fact that out of all the Gringotts she'd ever been in, the goblins in this one looked the snottiest. Each one wore an unpleasant look on their face, and most stared at her with complete disinterest. Riley was smart enough to know what that meant. 'These goblins deal with shit on a daily basis'.
"Hello." Remus greeted one of the tellers.
"What can I help you with?" The goblin asked in a bored tone.
"I was wondering who we speak to about transferring over a vault and accessing an old one." Riley answered stepping forward.
"Alright. Which vault would you like to access?" The goblin asked.
"Slytherin." Riley replied. At hearing that the goblin shot her a look. He almost sneered at her.
"Listen girl, this isn't a place for your jokes. Lie again and you will leave with one less hand." The goblin growled at her.
Remus shifted uncomfortably, as Riley's face twitched, a spark of anger jolting through her at the threat. Having the snarling goblin glare at her, set her on edge, and she was halfway to activating her Sharingan, when she let out a long breath and tried to calm herself.
"Crochety little devils, aren't they." Madara harrumphed.
"Alright let me try this a different way, since you seem to think I'm kidding." Riley stated with a murderous gleam in her eyes, at being threatened and called a liar.
She took a step back and glanced at the other tellers "I Riley Narumi Slytherin Uchiwa, demand access to my accounts. If Gringotts isn't willing to accommodate me then I will take my funds elsewhere!" Riley stated loudly, finishing by directing killing intent at the teller who had threatened her. The goblin leaned away from her in surprise as he felt the murderous power emanating off of her.
It was in that moment that the goblin realized that this was no ordinary child.
The goblins shared a few glances with one another, and the one she had been talking to previously swallowed audibly in response to her counterthreat.
"So, either assist me, and do your fucking job. Or get me your manager so that he and I can discuss taking my money somewhere else." Riley threatened. "After all, I made sure to tell the Goblins in the Land of Fire to inform the goblins here of my status as head of Slytherin house through right of conquest." Riley added with a menacing grin.
Hearing that, the teller nodded, as he did recall receiving that memo a while back.
"Apologies, lady Slytherin. Can't be too careful, lot of human trash out here that would love to get their hands on Slytherin's vault. Let me just make sure you are who you claim to be, and we'll get everything sorted." The goblin apologized and fished out a quill and paper. He acted quickly and professionally, trying hard not to do anything to further endanger their business with such a young and willful client.
"Thank you... was that so hard?" Riley asked with a smile. Remus all the while let out a sigh of relief, happy that things didn't get out of control.
"Please sign your name. This quill will take a bit of your blood and let me know what vaults you have the right to." The goblin explained. After getting a nod of approval from Remus she did just that. She felt a stinging in her hand as she wrote her name, but it quickly faded when she was finished.
A few moments later access to the Slytherin and Uchiwa accounts came up.
"Good good. Now what business would you like to handle?" The goblin asked.
"Well first I would like to have the Uchiwa vault transferred here, so that I may access it. Second I would like access to the Slytherin vault to retrieve some funds." Riley replied.
"Very well, we'll begin the transfer as soon as the paperwork is finished, we'll have an owl deliver it for you, all you have to do is sign the documents and send them back. We can handle any withdrawal here, just tell me how much you want." The goblin told her.
"Um do you have some sort of bag or card like muggles use so that I can access funds without making countless trips here?" Riley asked.
"Yes... these bags cost five galleons, just think of the amount you want, and it will magically draw from your account also, by placing a drop of your blood on the button here, you can ensure that only you can use it." The goblin told her.
"Great I'll take it. I'll be back to inspect the Slytherin vault some other time. We're staying at the Leaky Cauldron for now, so you can send the paperwork for the Uchiwa vault there." Riley thanked the goblin.
"Very well, will there be anything else?" The goblin asked.
"Yes... what, if you don't mind my asking, is your name?" Riley inquired.
"Beartrap." The goblin replied nervously.
"Well, Beartrap. I hope we can be friends. I take care of my friends." Riley stated with a smile as she dumped fifty galleons onto his desk. Beartrap grinned and nodded, happy to have ended this meeting on good footing with the young Slytherin lord.
Riley and Remus quickly made their way back out into the alley.
"Well let's go get what we need." Riley stated, earning a nod from Remus.
And so they went. From shop to shop, they got what they needed, Riley was so excited to finally get to spend some time with children of her own age group. She had spent the last few weeks excited for the opportunity, though with such excitement also came with it some painful memories.
The idea of spending time with kids her own age did appeal to her, but she couldn't forget that such kids use to bully her, and on top of that, just by thinking about making new friends, she would eventually start thinking about Shisui, and that always left her feeling sad.
Shisui though, would want her to be happy, and try to make friends, so that's what she intended on doing.
The two most interesting stops for the day were the pet store and Ollivander's wand shop.
At the pet shop, Riley bought a snowy owl that was quite beautiful though according to the person behind the counter the bird was temperamental. She had Remus name it, since she herself sucked at naming things. He decided on Hedwig.
Afterwards they went to Ollivander's. Remus stayed outside since he was honestly creeped out by old Ollivander's ominous ways. The freaky old man was hiding behind the door and greeted her when she entered.
"Greetings child. Come for a wand, have you?" Ollivander asked.
"Yes, sir I have." Riley replied.
With a nod and a smile, Ollivander measured her up, and started passing her wands to try. The wands she received did everything from nothing to exploding, to bursting into flames to literally collapsing in on themselves like dying stars.
Riley found it amusing at first to watch how these tools of magic reacted to someone they weren't made for, though it quickly started to annoy her as she went through more and more and found nothing of use.
"Ah tricky customer ay?" Ollivander stated with an amused smirk on his face and a mad gleam in his eyes.
"Would it just be easier to have one personally made?" Riley asked, after the hundredth wand he handed her fired out of her hand, into another dimension she suspected, because it vanished before hitting the wall.
"Hmm yes... yes... I think I understand now... you have the skill for a wand, but the power for something more. Hmm I've got it. I'll make you a Staff." Ollivander stated with the biggest happiest grin on his face.
"A staff?" Riley inquired with a confused look.
"Magical staffs are rare and powerful tools of magic. Only about one in every ten thousand witches or wizards ever reaches the raw power needed to use one. Oh, how overjoyed I am to be able to make one." Ollivander explained before nearly squealing in joy.
"Oh... that sounds cool! How long will that take to make?" Riley inquired with a happy grin.
"A day to make it, another to enchant it. As long as I have the right items for it. So let us start picking out cores. You will need Six cores, and a focus. To ensure that it works, special enchantments and runes are used to limit it's power to only a fraction of each core within the staff, this way you can shrink it down and use it as a wand or expand it and use it as a staff." Ollivander explained as he led her to a room with a ton of various woods, and magical cores for wands.
"Hold out your hand and pass it over all of the items. Pick six cores and one wood that feels right." Ollivander told her with an excited smile.
Riley complied. She picked the wood first when her hand passed over a darker block she paused. Something about this wood seemed right so she picked it. She set it on a table next to Ollivander and moved on to the cores. She needed six. She closed her eyes and just passed her hand over each one. Strangely at certain times she would feel her heart flutter joyfully, and in some cases, she got butterflies in her stomach, or she felt as if she wanted to blush. She picked the six that invoked these reactions.
"Ah... Alder wood. Good choice. Not many wandmakers like to use it. But it tends to work well with cores that don't like to mingle... and it seems a lot of your cores don't" Ollivander said with a chuckle.
"Hm... Powdered Fairy wings. Basilisk skin. Veela hair. And three feathers... one from a Hippogriff, one from a Phoenix, and one from an Augerey. Your staff will be a mighty one. Temperamental, but mighty." Ollivander finally stated with a mad gleam in his eyes.
"What does all that mean?" Riley asked.
"Well... very long story short, as I think you have left poor Remus waiting long enough. All of those cores don't like to work well together. You have Fairy wings which don't like the dark arts, you have Basilisk skin, which likes them a lot. You have Hippogriff Feather, and Veela hair which are temperamental to the point where I don't even make wands with Veela hair usually. I've had that in stock for quite some time. This will be an interesting project if I do say so myself. I look forward to seeing what this can do." Ollivander informed her merrily.
"So... how much do I owe you for this?" Riley asked after a moment.
"Hm... normally for something like this with all of these cores and enchantments, it would be quite expensive... however to make a magical tool like this is an opportunity I so rarely get to indulge in so, I will drop the price to one hundred Galleons." Ollivander told her.
"Okay... here's half now, I'll get you the other half when it's done." Riley stated as she dumped fifty galleons onto Ollivander's desk.
"Before you go. You still need a focus." Ollivander told her.
"Oh... um what does that do?" Riley inquired.
"A focus is needed in a staff. It's the focal point for which all of the magic passes through. So, it needs to be something magically powerful, but also something that has a connection to you as a person." Ollivander told her.
'I know something that fits that description.' Madara commented.
Riley nodded, knowing what he was referring to. But was she really willing to do that? She thought for a moment, before asking two questions.
"Once it's in, can a focus ever be removed?" Riley asked.
"No... the Focus fuses to the staff, it becomes a part of it." Ollivander replied with a glint in his eye.
"One more question... would a human eye suffice?" Riley asked again.
"It would have to be a powerful magical eye, but yes, eyes have been used in staffs in the past." Ollivander answered the gleam in his eye growing.
Riley gave it one last thought over, before making her decision.
'If I do this... then at the very least no one will ever be able to use Shisui's eye for their own gains. Plus, I'm sure he'd want to keep up the good fight with me, maybe see what kind of trouble we can get into.' Riley thought. After a moment she decided and pulled out the scroll with Itachi's crow. It flew out of the scroll and landed on her shoulder.
"Will this kind of eye suffice?" Riley asked.
"A Sharingan? No, a Mangekyou Sharingan... yes I do believe that constitutes as powerful enough." Ollivander replied as he pulled out his own wand and stunned the bird and placed it on a table.
"I will have it made for you in two days." Ollivander told her.
"You take care of that eye old man... you fuck this up, and somehow I'll find some way to shove every wand in this building up your ass without you dying." Riley threatened.
"Your friend's eye is in good hands. Please be back in two days' time, your new Staff will be finished by then... also would you like any runes carved into the staff? They cost five galleons apiece, but they can be very useful." Ollivander asked.
"Hm... yeah can you make so that only I can use it? Also, can you place a rune to make it unbreakable?" Riley asked, earning a nod from Ollivander she placed the ten Galleons on the table and walked out. She left a Shadow Clone to watch the building to make absolutely sure the old fart, didn't try to make a break for it with Shisui's eye. She then told Remus what took her so long. He informed her that he wasn't surprised that she could use a staff, and then her and Remus went back to the Leaky Cauldron.
When they got there, they found that Gringotts had already sent over the paperwork, and they also found an owl waiting to deliver a letter, it was brown in color and very majestic. Riley read the letter first. Surprisingly, it was in French.
"Dear Riley,
I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Fleur Delacour. You rescued my sister and I from those awful men a couple of days ago. We never got a chance to properly thank you. So, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I can't thank you enough for what you did for my little sister and me. My father used some of his connections to track you down, he is very eager to thank you as well. I know that you must be getting ready to head back to school soon, so we won't be able to meet for a while but if you are willing, my family and I would like to meet with you, and offer our sincerest of thanks in person, if you are willing? Until such a time I also wanted to ask if you would mind if I wrote to you? I find myself wishing to get to know my savior who showed incredible bravery in dealing with those evil men. I do hope you write; my little sister still hasn't stopped talking about how brave you are.
Sincerely, Fleur"
Riley finished reading and looked over at Remus who was smirking at her.
"What?" Riley asked.
"Someone find themselves a little girlfriend?" Remus joked.
"Hey... it's not like that. She just wanted to thank me for rescuing her and her sister." Riley shot back.
"You're blushing." Remus commented with a snicker. Riley's eyes went wide at that, and she placed her hands on her cheeks. She really was blushing. She thought back to that incident and placed a face to the writer of the letter.
The pretty blonde-haired Veela wanted to get to know her better. Maybe she would want to be Riley's friend? That idea alone was enough reason for her to quickly decide to write her back.
"Oh, shut up." Riley fired back at Remus as she set the letter off to the side and started writing her reply.
"What did she mean by 'back' to school?" Remus asked himself.
"Dearest Delacour's
Thank you for writing me. I'm happy you are doing well now. Sadly, my schedule is busy up until school starts, so I won't be able to meet with you anytime soon. If the holidays, or end of term rolls around and we find ourselves with free time, I would be happy to meet with you. And Fleur, please tell your sister that both you, and she, are free to write to me anytime. I'd love to hear from the both of you. Until I hear from you again...
Riley"
She quickly gave the letter to the owl, and sent it back to the Delacour's, before proceeding with the paperwork from Gringotts.
-Two days later-
"What do you think it will be like?" Riley asked with a huge grin as her and Remus walked into Ollivander's
"You'll just have to wait and see." Remus replied with a smile.
"Ah... young Riley, I see you have returned. Your Staff is finished." Ollivander told her, the man had a look of absolute pride on his face as he lifted a staff up from behind the counter.
The staff was four and a half feet long, and it seemed to fit her height perfectly. It was a brownish red in color. Starting at the bottom, the staff had a pointy and thinned out end, looking very much how you'd expect a large wand to look. It was smooth and straight up until just over a third of the way up the staff, where the wood began to twist and look as if two pieces of wood were twisted tightly together. It was slight and subtle at first, up until about half of the way to the top, there she could see a rounded-out part that looked like a grip, after that it continued to twist until about a fourth of the way to the top where it broke into two pieces of wood that twisted more widely, there was actually a small amount of space in between the pieces. They continued up until they ran into the body of a crow. This one was smaller than the one she had left him, the bird had its wings tucked up beside itself, and its head was pointing up almost like it was cawing at the sky, and in its beak set almost like a gem, was Shisui's Sharingan.
The eye spun around and looked at everything in the room, stopping only momentarily to glance at the two of them, before continuing to whirl around looking at different things.
"Wow... that is quite an imposing instrument of magic." Remus commented.
"Indeed, this staff holds much power. I placed a sizing charm on it, so it will grow with you." Ollivander stated as Riley approached, and he handed the staff to her. The second she touched it, Shisui's eye locked with hers, she could clearly see recognition in it. She also felt her magic slip into the staff with ease, the thing just felt right. she could tell that something had been done to Shisui's eye, as it seemed to now be a glass eye, yet she could still feel Shisui's chakra within it.
"Alright there are two runes on the grip here, one at the top, which serves to increase its size to Staff size, and one in the bottom which serves to shrink it, allowing you to use it like a wand. Remember that when you switch between the two forms the location of the runes reverses with your grip, try it." Ollivander told her.
Riley nodded and activated the rune on top, the staff quickly shrunk, and she spun in around in her hand. The only change in its appearance was that the grip stayed large enough for her hand to wrap around, but it was now flush with the crow's body, without space in between. The crow's body was tiny now, and so was Shisui's eye which was about the size of a marble in this state.
"I love it. This is awesome!" Riley cheered.
"Well give it a wave. Those cores were not easy to get to work right with each other. I found them all acting very competitive for some reason, almost like they wanted front place in your staff... it was odd." Ollivander commented.
Riley waved the wand, and to her surprise a ton of sparks came flying out the end of it. Riley could only smile at the sight of that.
"Very good. Very good. Now as I said the wand form only uses a fraction of the power of all six cores, as to allow it to be used for more delicate things. When it's in staff form, it will use them all, at full power. Try your best to treat her well, she has quite the temper." Ollivander stated with a proud smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander. Here is the rest of your money." Riley paid the man and her and Remus departed, they had one more stop today and that was at the Ministry to meet with the minister himself. They had received a letter of summons from the Ministry yesterday. Remus wasn't surprised, having the Slytherin vault reopened, and the Uchiwa moving into the country, Remus suspected the Minister wanted to make a grand first impression on the person who would hold very high standing in the country off her name alone. And if Riley garnered favors, and used her standing to her advantage, she would be an even more valuable ally.
The two arrived at the ministry, they were met by two Aurors, who escorted them to the Ministers office. Riley could tell Remus was uncomfortable. Being a werewolf and all, people tended to react violently when they knew the truth, especially in Britain.
They made it to Fudge's office, and Riley couldn't help but snicker at the huge damn picture of himself, he had in it. That told her all she needed to know about the man, he had an inflated ego and was full of himself.
The man was an older gentleman who had a slightly pudgy figure, he wore a dark striped suit, and a bowler hat. Next to him was a woman dressed in all pink, who looked like a toad. She had a face that looked like she was sucking on a mouthful of lemons.
Riley knew she would hate both of these people immediately, so she adopted a formal expression, and schooled her emotions before approaching the two.
Fudge looked between the two before his eyes settled on Remus, "Lord Slytherin?"
Remus simply smiled and shook his head in the negative. He nodded to Riley who stepped forward. "Greetings Minister. My name is Riley Uchiwa Slytherin, head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble houses of Uchiwa and Slytherin." Riley greeted the two.
Both looked a little surprised, obviously neither had expected the Lord of two powerful houses to be a 'thirteen' year old 'boy'.
"It's nice to meet you lad." Fudge said with a smile as he stuck out a hand.
"I'm a girl." Riley muttered, with a disgruntled glare, as Remus started to snicker beside her. Fudge immediately winced at his screw up and Umbridge cringed for some reason.
"My apologies. The file from Gringotts only has you listed by your titles. And with the short hair and all..." Fudge tried to explain.
"No worries, Minister... I've been told enough times that I resemble a young man, with my hair cut like this..." Riley informed him as she shot Remus a glare, he simply smirked and looked away, feigning innocence.
After a moment she shook his hand. "Well now that, that is out of the way, I'd like to introduce my Under-secretary Dolores Umbridge." Fudge stated pointing towards the pink dressed woman.
"This is my uncle Remus. He and I have been traveling for quite some time and are eager to rest now that all of my Hogwarts shopping is done. I'll be starting my first year soon, and as you may remember from your days as a first year, the time leading up to it can be quite exciting and draining." Riley stated in a formal manner.
"Your first year? You're eleven... my goodness I would never have guessed. Well, I wish you the best of luck in your first year, always exciting to be off to Hogwarts." Fudge replied, again Umbridge looked a little worried, Riley couldn't figure out why though.
"So why are we here, if you don't mind me asking?" Riley inquired as she and the Minister had a seat.
"Well... when a house such as Slytherin, is reactivated after long dormancy the Ministry likes to meet with the new head of house and assist them in acclimating to their station." Fudge informed her.
"There is also the matter of your bloodline." Dolores piped in.
"Yes yes, I recall that bloodline holders in the Elemental Nations held a certain station, while there aren't many bloodlines here, they still hold a prominent position just off that accolade alone." Fudge explained.
"The Sharingan is a powerful weapon. It doesn't surprise me that they want to spread it around in their country. Legends of what people have done with these eyes have spread far and wide it seems." Madara hummed thoughtfully, Riley silently agreeing with his assessment.
"Ah... I see where this is going. Britain doesn't have many bloodlines, and with one like mine entering the fray, you're eager to see it spread." Riley stated with a knowing smirk. Remus adopted a look of anger at the thought while Fudge looked rather uncomfortable with the whole prospect.
"My guess is that you were planning on asking me to take multiple wives so that I can repopulate my clan here in Britain. That would explain the reason why Madam Umbridge didn't take the news of my sex or age to well, I'm guessing you and the rest of the Wizengamot assumed I was older and a boy so you could sell your daughters off to me, to gain access to my bloodline?" Riley guessed, both Fudge and Umbridge looked uncomfortable with being so easily read, especially by a child, though Umbridge schooled herself faster, and responded.
"You must understand Lady Slytherin that a bloodline like yours is powerful and many wish to see such things spread to these shores. We had no intention of forcing anything, simply making the offer available to you if you wished it." Umbridge told her.
'She's good.' Madara commented with a chuckle.
"Well... Lucky for you all then, that I've always wanted to have a large family... so here is how this is going to go, sign me up for this, whatever you call it here, but know that all of my partners will be chosen by me. I don't quite know where my interests lay, but I do know, as do you that there are plenty of spells, rituals, and other means, to allow one woman to impregnate another. If I take multiple husbands then fine, If I take multiple wives then fine. I get the final say in the matter. I will have at least three partners within ten years' time, as I am only eleven, and it will take me a little while before I'm even interested in that sort of thing. I will split my partners between my two current houses, so that there will be someone to take my place if something happens. Is this reasonable Minister?" Riley asked sounding very formal and professional.
"Hm... yes I do believe that is both fair and reasonable. The Wizengamot would also like to offer you a seat once you turn sixteen for Slytherin house, down the line hopefully we can integrate the Uchiwa as well." Fudge replied. Umbridge looked affronted that Riley mentioned the possibility of taking wives, but then she remembered that it was more important to have Riley's bloodline in the country, rather than following all social protocol. If Riley wanted to sleep with women, then fine, it just meant more of her bloodline being passed down.
"I accept the seat. When I turn sixteen if I want it then, I will take it myself, if not, I will assign a proxy, till such a time when I feel ready to take my seat. For now, since I don't know anyone here, I will allow Slytherin seat to remain empty until such a time as I turn sixteen or find a suitable proxy." Riley answered.
"Yes... good good. Alright one more thing, there was no record on your parentage. We wanted to inquire as to whom they were?" Fudge asked.
"No, you wanted to know if I was a pureblood or not?" Riley replied with another knowing smirk, Remus had filled her in on the state of magical Britain and how it reacted depending on the nature of one's birth.
"Well. By your standards I'd be a half blood. I was born to a witch and a shinobi. Though both of my pedigrees from them are flawless. My father is the son of Madara Uchiwa, his mother was an Uzumaki, so he was a pureblood. My mother on the other hand was a muggleborn here, though in reality that is untrue, turns out she is the head of Ravenclaw family, and she never knew, so actually she's a half blood, probably descended from a long line of squibs. I do believe by your standards that I would be pureblood because I come from a pureblood and a half blood, but since the shinobi was a pureblood I wouldn't know." Riley explained.
"Your mother is the head of the Ravenclaw house?" Fudge asked with a surprised look.
"Yep, no clue what she'll do with it or whether I'll be receiving it, when she dies or if it's going to my little sister. My mother is Lily Namikaze nee Evans. My father is Minato Namikaze." Riley told them.
Both Fudge and Dolores's jaws slammed into the ground at that revelation, Remus couldn't help but giggle as Minato was world famous, in the magical community.
"You can confirm all of that with Gringotts, but I still don't know, what does having that kind of pedigree make me?" Riley asked curiously.
"You are most definitely a pureblood." Fudge managed to reply.
"Oh cool. Alright one last thing before I go minister. I am an Animagus, I was wondering where I can register so I don't get arrested for practicing. Also, as head of my house I'm exempt from underage magical restrictions, right?" Riley inquired.
The two looked shocked that such a young girl was an Animagus, many people never became one, and those who did were often much older.
"Um... well to the second, yes you are, feel free to practice your magic wherever you wish, the trace on your wand should be deactivated if it hasn't already. To the first... well I can have my secretary here escort you to the Animagus registration office." Fudge replied he quickly pulled out a piece of paper wrote something down and handed it to Umbridge whom smiled and nodded.
"That should speed along the process. You should have your license by the time you leave for Hogwarts." Fudge told her.
"Alright... well if there is nothing else Minister, I should be off to those offices, best get this out of the way soon. Thank you for meeting with me and getting so many troubling things squared away. I hope we meet again real soon." Riley stated as she stood and shook the Minister's hand.
"Yes, right. I hope that as well Lady Uchiwa Slytherin. Until then, have a great day, and good luck with your Animagus test." Fudge responded, believing this to be a successful meeting.
"This way. I'll show you two to the Animagus registration office." Dolores stated as she led them away.
"If you don't mind my asking my lady, what is your Animagus form?" Umbridge inquired as she led them to their destination.
"A fox." was Riley's simple reply.
"Ah... how wonderful... well here we are. Good luck and please give this to the man inside." Umbridge stated handing the paper to Riley.
Riley and Remus watched her depart before turning and heading into the Registration office, eager to get this out of the way.
-Meanwhile in France-
"Fleur! Fleur... a letter has come for you." Appoline Delacour called to her eldest.
Fleur wandered into the room to find her mother waiting with letter in hand. Fleur took it and began reading, after a few moments she smiled brightly.
"Is this about that pretty boy who saved you?" Appoline asked with a smile.
"He says that he wishes to meet during the holidays or after school has ended, and he wants Gabby and I to write him." Fleur replied with a bright smile.
"Well, you'd best run off and tell her. She has been dying to get into contact with her savior, and I'm sure your father would like to write him too." Appoline told her daughter.
Fleur quickly nodded and skipped off happily to find Gabby and tell her the good news. Appoline could only smile, Fleur hadn't been this happy to talk to anyone since she came into her Veela powers.
She wondered for a moment if she shouldn't write her own letter, to thank this pretty young man who had saved her daughters, and husband, and who now seemed to have drawn the attention of her oldest child.
Appoline hummed to herself for a moment before wandering off to find her husband and tell him the news.
-To Be Continued-
Alright theres that next chapter it's off to Hogwarts. Before I go here's a quick question one should be obvious as I gave a few hints but what do Riley's staff's cores represent? Please let me know, and if you get it right I'll give you a cookie, and maybe name a character after you or something. preferably someone who is introduced, just to immediately die any way, Can't wait, see ya when I see ya!
