Here is the next chapter. Please read and review thank you love Hermione xxx
Damian was shocked at the changes in the seating at the staff table and laughed as Dumbledore attempted to change his back wandlessly and then with his wand to no avail. He eventually slumped into his chair in anger. Why the fuck was his throne gone? He was the fucking king! Well king of this school at least and he needed to have a throne. He was an opulent man and you only needed to look at him to see it. What was he meant to do now? Well screw that it was just a throne and he'd wear opulent clothing instead. He could display his opulence there instead.
Besides which he still had another throne in his office or so he thought at least. That too had been replaced with another large chair which displayed his importance without being too opulent and in everyone's faces. In fact every piece of golden opulence anywhere in the castle was now gone as he had added them on himself and they hadn't been warranted. This was a school not his personal palace to parade around like a king in. All of his robes had their shine and sparkle spells permanently removed too. This way they would be as outlandish as he liked them to be but not sparkle so much that they made those who saw the terrible colours dizzy and feel ill as most students did around him. It was not necessary for your clothing to sparkle unless they were made from a sparkling material. None of the clothing was ever actually made from sparkling material as he felt that cost too much money so he always used a spell which made them look very shiny and more expensive. Besides which if you were truly a good person you could sparkle all on your own without needing the use sparkle spells. As the shine left his robes he was thoroughly fuming thinking it was a Weasley twins prank. Twenty points from Gryffindor! He mumbled as the house points counter went down shocking everyone to silence.
"Who has dared to remove house points from my house? Gryffindor already has lost twenty points because of the earlier prank of the Weasley twins and it has been dealt with. What is going on?" Professor McGonagall thundered looking at all the staff members sat to her left and right who much to her shock looked totally shocked themselves.
"I did because their prank has extended to me. My chair is gone and you all have better chairs then you did! Also my robes no longer shine!" Dumbledore whined sounding like a highly put out five year old in that moment.
"Hey say what you want about us but we only joked about Ron having to face a troll to get sorted. We didn't touch your stuff! To be honest sir we thought you did it yourself. It does look much better!" they responded as Minerva turned on him in fury.
"Yes Albus even I can see they didn't do this because quite frankly Molly and Arthur cannot afford to get them their own wands so they just don't have that kind of magical skill. I mean their core is most certainly full no doubt but I do think you understand what I'm saying. To be honest I too thought it was you. I mean that other throne like chair was tacky and more something you might see a king or prince in which let's face it none of us are. Twenty points to Gryffindor!" she said loudly as they blushed. From down the table she was shocked as Professor Riddle stood up.
"Excuse me please. I am as you know Professor Riddle your DADA teacher. I do not usually do this but I must ask why the Board of Governors has not provided funding for every student to have their own wands? As a master of the dark arts even I know using a second hand wand or one which isn't yours is exceptionally dangerous. I can certainly assure you headmaster they would be unable to do such amazing magic with second hand wands. Please give me a show of hands if you do not have your own wand and I will call Ollivander here to custom make you wands of your own. I will cover this cost myself as the risk is too dangerous and the Board of Governors can reimburse me at a later date!" he said shocked as Percy, Fred, George and Ron all stood up. At least it was just four wands. It would be about forty galleons to get it done but was worth it. Inside Marvolo was furious. Didn't these idiots know how dangerous it was to have a used fucking wand?
Dumbledore felt mildly ashamed about this as he hadn't even realised they'd had second hand wands and Professor Riddle was right about how dangerous it was. I guess Minerva just knew their students more then he did but did it really matter in the long run anyway? I mean Harry Potter wasn't even here and no one at all cared about that. They all just assumed he'd grown up in a foreign country and he was disgusted with them all.
"Very Well Professor Riddle I will see it done tonight. You four will meet me at my office where Mr Ollivander will be. He will fit the wands and Professor Riddle here will pay him for them if I cannot get the money from the Board of Governors in time!" he said as the feast continued. Damian watched Professor Riddle with admiration as did the other Lords of the founding houses. He had spoken out for the rights of everyone having their own wand and to be hones they were very proud of him. He'd be excited for classes for sure. Dudley himself had gone to Ravenclaw which he was delighted about. Since he had started studying more and more anyway he had a new love of books which was wonderful to see.
As the feast wore on and finally came to an end the Weasley's all headed up to the headmasters office with Professor Thomas Riddle in tow. In his hey day Tom had always liked to go by Tom as he thought Thomas was too rich and fancy a name for him. Now though he was using Thomas and loved it. Because of his spell at the bank too Dumbledore knew that Tom Marvolo Riddle was indeed Voldemort but didn't connect the dots with Professor Riddle and it was as he liked. They entered to find an annoyed Ollivander waiting there for them.
"You know I always said Arthur was a fool! A nice guy in fact the nicest you could ever hope to meet but a fool none the less. He had so many children he couldn't afford their wands and the wand is the most important thing you can ever have. Welcome gentlemen. Have a seat please. I will pass you these samples and you must pass it on. Once you're done and you find one that resonates strongly with you give it to me and then we'll do the core!" he said passing them various jars of wood. Percy chose a mahogany wood block for his wand. Fred chose an acacia wood block for his wand along with Fred who also matched an acacia wood block piece. Ron took a while longer and eventually chose an ash wood block for his wand. Percy's core was a unicorn tail hair. Fred's core was a phoenix feather and Georges core was a thestral tail hair and was in fact very rare indeed. Ron's core was a dragon heartstring core piece. In twenty minutes all the custom wands were made and their old wands taken back by Ollivander for safety as they would no longer be safe to use.
"I'll tell you what I'll do ok. Considering I have taken these wands back and I will be reselling them onto more compatible people and they would cost seven galleons a piece I will just charge you twenty galleons for the wands!" he said as Dumbledore handed over the money from the Board of Governors which he had received just before via mail. The Board was shocked that he'd asked for it at all but were more then happy to give him the twenty galleons needed for the wands once they discovered why it was necessary. Professor Riddle went to his room taking a dreamless sleep potion and was asleep in minutes. It would be an interesting day at classes tomorrow as he has decided to teach them in different way.
