That glare disappeared however as she looked up to him and she blinked for a moment as the glare faded to a light scowl and a small confused frown.
"Ted? What are you…" she began to say before looking up to the clock on the wall and blinked again, before muttering a curse under her breath, "Sorry Ted, our meeting I know," she said as she folded the parchment and pushed it out of the way, "time got away from me." She sighed.
Ted gave a light chuckle, "I know how it is Amelia, r...

It had all been so badly mishandled that it had taken him days of searching to actually find the further reports that he had been looking for on the various matters.
Sirius had been captured mere hours after the deaths of the potters, two miles from their house amidst the chaos of a muggle massacre….
….that apparently had been the result of a muggle gas line somehow exploding due to a spell that Sirius had fired resulting in the deaths of twelve muggles and Peter Pettigrew, ...

Smirking to himself as the ink dried he neatly folded the parchment and placed it into a letter and sealed it with a drop of wax with a stylized M press over the top, and to finish, the letter was addressed to "the red-haired devil twins"
"So let me get this straight. You want me to deliver this letter to these Weasley twins and expect them to just hand over their map just like that?" Erebus asked from his perch.
"You're taking an awfully big risk with this, what's to stop them ...

In the days that followed Magnus' talk with Andromeda, Magnus found himself slipping into a schedule of sorts, between his usual classes, lessons and his duelling sessions with Professor Flitwick and Andromeda, and then the studying sessions and Heir lessons with Daphne, Tracey, Harry and Neville.
Magnus found himself constantly preoccupied with something to do, the only times he didn't were either at night or when the heir lessons that the girls and Neville were giving him and Harry a...

Andromeda nodded, "let me guess, it felt like you had a fire in your stomach, a deep burning sensation that made you want to lash out and punch the person pissing you off." She openly guessed.
Magnus blinked again…. That…. That was exactly how it had felt, "Yeah," he said after a moment, "it felt like I had just drunk boiling water and I wanted to sock Lucius right across his smug mouth when he…"
"Insulted members of your house and your position as heir Black," Andromeda f...

Andromeda nodded her head as she leaned on one of the desks, "good because while I may not have been at Hogwarts when the marauders were, I heard more than enough stories about what they got up to.”
“In fact, if you hadn't said that you do not intend to use your pranks as a cover for bullying people then I would have outright forbidden it before you even started."
Magnus nodded and wisely remained silent about the fact that even if she wanted to do as such she couldn't, at l...

It only took them a few minutes to reach Andromeda's office where Magnus entered first and Andromeda followed behind him closing the door before drawing her want and casting a number of spells silently to give them privacy.
As soon as she put her wand away Magnus went to speak but a raised hand and a stern look from Andromeda cut him off before he even began.

Magnus shook his head, "that's utter rubbish Nev, the wand doesn't make the wizard," he said bluntly, "and it's no wonder you're having problems in your classes if you're using a wand that didn't choose you," he said before pointing at the wand againbe.
"That wand chose your father not you, it will never work as well for you as it did your dad, you need your own wand because you are your own person. You are not your father as much as your gran may want you to be."

"And you're my friend. I know you might not see it yourself, but I do. You can do great things if you put your mind to it, Nev, you just need to try.”
“So what if people call you something else, what matters is what you do about it. Do you sit back and take it, or do you keep pushing and prove them wrong."

Magnus was well pleased with himself as he walked down the corridor towards the library, his little prank had done just as he had planned it to do, his duel with Draco was all but yesterday's news, and would soon be forgotten about.
It wouldn't be long until everyone forgot and he could stop laying low to avoid attention.
But he knew that he would have to set things up so that if he needed it in the future the heat could be taken off him should he need it done again. ...

Many of the teachers went for their wands and began to cast water repellent charms, only instead of repelling the large raindrops made them change colour, and soon all the professors were being drenched in a rainbow of colours.

He didn't exactly know when Voldemort had given it to his crazy former cousin, the books and movies never really said.
But this would be his first strike against the dark lord if it was successful.
He knew he couldn't destroy it at the moment, he lacked the means to do so but knew he could be able to acquire them in the next few years and if things went to plan.
He'd be able to snuff the dark wanker before he ever got a chance to come back, or at least make him much...

It was in the late hours of the night some days after the duel with Draco that Magnus found himself sitting in his trunk's office behind his desk with many things on his mind.
Never had he thought that his duel with Draco would cause so much commotion as it had.
Sure he had expected some ripples from him breaking from the original timeline of events but the speed with which things had happened since the duel had thrown him for a loop.
He had approached Andy wi...

Daphne looked at him with a rather disgusted look as he ate. "Are you trying to make the rest of us lose our appetite?" she asked with a wince as he shoved food into his mouth.
"Hungry," was Magnus' only response before he stuffed another two strips of bacon into his mouth and began to make himself a bacon butty with extra red sauce.
"Yes we can see that," Daphne sniffed, "but that doesn't mean you have to eat like a farm animal."
Tracey smirked, "better be careful or els...

Magnus himself couldn't help the small smile that he gave in response, it had been a lot closer than he had wanted it to be.
And he was grateful that he had taken to studying plenty in the black library before first coming to Hogwarts.
The silver dagger had been the result of a transfigurations spell he had read about in one of the many books the library had, originally made to create weapons to fend off werewolves.
Magnus had thought it would have been a handy spell to...

It was four hours after breakfast that Magnus once again found himself in the confines of his trunk, standing in front of his office in front of a full-length body mirror as he looked himself over in his newest attire.
A complete set of duelling robes made out of dragonhide and acromantula silk, in black, the best that money could buy.
They were something that his grandfather had insisted that he purchase during one of their lessons when he mentioned that he was practising more...

It just made more sense to him that witches and wizards would celebrate the pagan holidays and the solstices rather than their muggle-Christian counterparts.
But why would Dumbledore not want that information shared at Hogwarts? It would seem that he needed to do some more looking into the matter to find his answers.
But nothing said that Magnus couldn't use what he knew now to cause even more trouble for the old fuck…. 'game on old man'

Now alone in his office, Albus seethed to himself as he scowled at the wall. This duel was a disaster, he didn't want these kinds of things happening inside his castle at all.
It had been well over twenty years since the last honour duel had been fought on Hogwarts grounds, just as he had wanted.
Everything had been going exactly to plan, but now this duel was changing everything. He had heard the reports from the ghosts, portraits and elves that he had monitoring the students....

There was a hiss of an intake of breath from all the purebloods in the hall when Magnus named the reprisal amount, fifty thousand galleons was no small amount, and Draco looked like he wanted to faint at the mention of such an amount.

If he let things play out, then it was more than likely that Harry would get sucked into the whole Philosopher stone mess that Dumbledore had set up.

Plus this would actually fit nicely into his overall plan for things involving House Blacks future, and there was no time like the pre...
