A few days later
Hearing soft crying from Argus room I frown crossing my arms "he's been like that for hours" Daciana says softly.
"Do you know why?" I ask.
She frowns looking around before grabbing a letter off the floor "mail".
Nodding I look at it frowning more before sighing and knocking on his door before opening it slightly "Argus may I come in?" I ask.
"Yes" he mumbles still crying.
Walking in I leave the door crack and pull a chair over by his bed "want to tell me what's wrong?" I ask.
He shakes his head crying more, blowing out a breath I hold the letter up "does it have to do with this?" I ask.
Hearing him crying harder I nod dropping it waiting for him to decide what he wants "I thought after my magic was opened they would accept me" he whispers.
I hum nodding waiting "they banished me and took my name from me, they blocked me from the family magic" he adds.
Biting my lip I tilt my head back "your name doesn't define you Argus, while it's painful they have done you a favor".
Seeing his doubtful look I lean forward putting my elbows on my knees "Argus, you have a chance to be someone outside of their name you can choose your own name and eventually when people hear your name it will be because of your own work not them, build up your own reputation magically declare who you are and if you gain true magic then magic will bless you but you have to trust magic to know what you need".
"But what if I never do it" he asks desperately.
Tapping my chin I debate on what I should say before finally deciding "you know how I got my scars right?" I ask seeing him nod.
"Well one of my life's was from years in the future since time doesn't run in a straight line, my past life knew a man that was a Squib he grew to hate what he was and hate those blessed with magic, everyone was cruel to him and he in return was as well but I knew something the others didn't, he had his cat that he loved dearly and a beautiful witch that adored him but they never had children because he refused to risk having a Squib child"
He frowns looking at me "that's not comforting to know" he mumbles.
Laughing slightly I shrug "true, but he had the same thing happen to him with his parents, my point is that the simplest things can change someone's day or life, his witch taught him to read being kind and he eventually trusted her becoming friends, one day he realized he loved her and wrote a note explaining how he felt so her kindness gave him friendship and love".
"It could have been a bad idea" he grumbles.
"Yes it could have but my past life had her own ideas that could have gone horribly, she put her life and safety in the hands of a woman that just a few years before stood by and watched her be tortured out of fear for her child and herself"
"Why would she do that?" He asks.
Glancing at the door I see Daciana sat by it listening in "Daciana come in here instead of spying" I say calmly.
She jumps but slowly comes in looking down "come on, I'll tell you part of the story" I offer.
Watching them both sit down looking at me I take a breath before starting "a girl unknowingly descent from Morgana La Faye came to Hogwarts and was presumed as muggle born, unfortunately during her time that was bad because pure bloods had been manipulated by a half blood who hated muggles she was dragged into a war and had to fight for her life as well has her friends".
Seeing Argus go to speak I lift my hand stopping him "she was captured and tortured for information for hours but her mind never broke, because one terrified woman stood by and watched what no one seen was they locked eyes, this woman shielded her mind and held her together she later risked her own life to save one person who could stop the Half blood wizard that controlled them".
Smiling slightly I shake my head "in return she and her son were protected from going to Azkaban"
I lift my arm waving my wand to glamour it with the mud blood scar "The girl went to her for help with this scar, she put her trust in this woman to remove it" I add before dropping the glamour.
"This woman did remove it and then took her in and protected her when her friend turned on her for refusing to marry him, eventually the woman found a way to change things and set the events into motion, the girl had to once again trust her not to kill her while the woman had to trust her to fix the mistakes made but by doing this she made a Muggle turn Pure"
Taking a another breath I look at them "off the top of your head tell me what you're first thoughts are" I say.
"The girl was crazy" "She shouldn't have trusted that woman" they both answer.
Nodding I hum "take your time and think about the story then come tell me your thoughts and I'll tell you if you understand what it means" I say getting up.
Walking out I head to my room seeing Minnie in bed reading to Ceros and Bella, crawling in I lay down feeling Bella grab my hair twirling it around her finger focused on the Story.
Once the girls fall asleep Minnie reaches out stroking my face "what happened?" She whispers.
"Argus completely disowned and blocked, my conversation with him got on the subject of Hermione in trying to get him to understand he has a chance to be more without them"
"You did not tell him what his future was supposed to be did you?" She hisses.
"Not directly, he was worried about if he failed so I tried to explain how one act of kindness can change someone's day or life, that somehow got on Hermione and her trust in Narcissa that ended with a muggle turning pure"
Minnie nods "I think I should tell the kids that story before they start Hogwarts officially" I add.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"I don't know but I think it could help them" I answer looking at Bella sleeping as her leg jerks kicking Ceros, she in return grunts and slaps Bella mumbling.
Chuckling softly I shake my head "even asleep they have to mess with someone" Minnie says sighing.
Nodding I lean over to her kissing her before laying down feeling Bella roll over almost on me smacking her lips before humming.
Smiling I put my arm around her rubbing her back "alright Brat but no biting this time" I whisper before feeling the bed shaking from Minnie laughing while covering her mouth.
Rolling my eyes I settle in to sleep before Minnie grunts mumbling about Ceros kicking her hip.
