3 The Wand

"What does it say Alex?" My mother asked me.

I am a bit confused until the goblin, Ragnok, speaks again "The only ones who can see what is on there are the Goblins and the one who gave the blood, you. If I may offer advice Young Warrior, I would suggest not letting others know of all your heritage unless you absolutely trust them"

I nod at that "How do I let my mother see?"

The goblin smiles a little revealing sharp teeth "All you have to say is I, then your name, give, and say her name, permission to view my heritage."

I smile back "I Alexander Anderson Prince give Amanda Abigail Prince permission to view my heritage" I then handed my mother my scroll.

My mother eyes the scroll a bit going from shock to exasperation and back again "It seems you won't have to worry about money. But why does it name you the Heir to the Prince's?"

The goblin had an answer for this as well "Well since it appears you were not disowned madam, thus your son is named the Heir of Prince, due to the Heir of Prince has to be a male."

She raises a brow "But Severus is older yet he is not listed as the Heir despite being male?"

Again the goblin gave an answer "Severus Snape's mother Eileen Prince was Disowned thus her son does not have an entitlement to the Family Crest unless his mother and himself are reinstated as members of the Prince household, but to do that a Head of House is needed for the Prince line."

"Ah then how do I become the Head of House?" I was curious after all. "Well you would automatically be declared the Head of House of any you are the Heir of when you turn 17. Along with any other from your heritage so long as there is no one else to contest you for them. Another is you can be emancipated at 15 with the permission of your Guardian and claim all your titles then if you have more"

"If you do not mind me asking can I know what the boys creature inheritance is?" Miss Minerva asked.

I look at my mother then I nod "Well it says that he has two creature bloodlines and that they mutated into a new one." Both Uncle Snape and Minerva look very curious at this "His new Bloodline is Wolgan which is said to be the mutation of Dragon and Werewolf Bloodlines."

Both Minerva and Snape take a step back in shock and disbelief. Afterall both of them know there has only ever been one documentation of a dragon bloodline but that was a thousand years ago. Both the two teachers don't know if this is good or bad.

"Does he experience any changes during the full moon?" Snape asked curiously. This was a new undocumented bloodline and part of it is werewolf so he is after all very curious

"Hm" I decide to tell them "I have increased hunger for meats, heightened senses, higher energy and I have an urge for combat. Other than that it is nothing. I don't lose my mind but I do spend time in the basement training area to blow off some steam."

Snape nods "Well then you won't require any wolfsbane potion but we may have to let you find an alternative means to relieve your urges on full moons."

I can only shrug "Just throw me into an obstacle course or something and I will be fine, though if, and I do mean if, someone provokes me during that time I may end up fighting. I never had anyone provoke me before since I was always at home at night or at least with my mother." Snape nods his head. He was finding it a bit harder to hate the kid especially since he doesn't look like his father.

"Here are the keys to your Vaults" Ragnok hands me some small golden keys. I take the keys, the goblins even added a chain so it can go around my neck if I wished. "The chain has enchantments on it to prevent thefts. Take it as a gift from one warrior to another" It seems me being a Young Warrior is a bonus to me. If I am judging by how I have absently seen them act around other wizards who have come into the bank.

"Thank you Lord Ragnok. May your gold flow like the blood of your enemies" It seemed almost instinctual to say this to the goblins. After all I can tell they love money and fighting.

Ragnok seems pleased "May your treasure abound and your enemies fall before your blade Lord Prince. Now Griphook will take you to your vaults or" He paused a second eyeing the other two wizards, being Minerva and Snape "Well we could give you a bag that is connected to your vaults to allow you to withdraw money anytime and anywhere. Of course you will have to pay for the bag. It is enchanted so you will never have to worry about theft"

I smirk, seems I really am getting special treatment "I would like that Lord Ragnok. Please take what you need for the cost and 10 extra Galleons for all your helpful advice"

"You are very generous Lord Prince." Within minutes I have the bag attuned to my magical signature and connected to my keys. "Remember Lord Prince the bag only transfers currency not items." I give a nod "Also Lord Prince. I would like to set up a meeting before you go to Hogwarts to discuss your Vaults. I guarantee it will be most beneficial to yourself"

Thinking it over I nod "We can stop by again after I get my wand if that is ok with you?"

Ragnok nods "That is agreeable. May your ventures increase your profit and enemies cower before your name"

I smirk "May your gold flow like the blood of all who stand before you" the four of us then leave the bank

"Well it has appeared you have earned the Goblin Nations respect. It is very commendable to do so especially for a wizard so young" Minerva was the first to break the silence. Snape sneers while thinking that no ADULT wizard has the goblins respect though he is reluctantly impressed

"Thank you Professor. Um can we go get my wand? Though I don't see why I will need it but that letter did say I would require one."

"Why would you think you don't need one?" Minerva inquires "Well I have been able to wandlessly and summon and levitate items since I was eight. I even made other spells, I'm not sure if anyone else has made it due to lack of magical knowledge, that enhance the body."

Both Snape and Minerva seemed astonished "You have been able to use wandless magic at such a young age?" I nod was we continue walking, Minerva slightly a step ahead as she leads "That is remarkable and you say you made some spells? Can you tell me the details?"

"Well one spell circulates magic inside your body and on your skin. The spell effects the nerves, bones, and muscles. Thus allowing for higher reflexes and senses, higher attack power, and greater defense from hits"

Snape looks quite impressed. Most wizards don't train their physical body so this spell could be very popular "I have to inform you there is no spell like this currently. You have made your very own spell. Congratulations" Snape says. He seems to be looking at me different now. It is better than the previous look. There isn't any concealed malice anymore or mixed feelings.

"Thank you Uncle Snape"

We arrive at a shop called Olivanders, I am guessing the wand shop. The shop is kinda dim with various boxes all around. "Ah come in come in. Oh Minerva Fir and dragon heartstring, nine and a half inches, stiff correct?"

Minerva smiles "Correct. Mister Olivander never forgets a wand he gives to anyone" Olivander looks over at me. He seems a bit quirky if judging by my first impression.

"First wand?"

I nod stepping forward "Yes sir"

He proceeds to get out measuring tape and began to well measure me. "What's your name boy?"

I chuckle "I am Alexander Prince. Is the measuring important?"

Olivander smirks "Not really. Just distracts long enough for me to think of a couple good wand choices. Now which hand do you use?"

I once again chuckle at this odd mans antics "I am ambidextrous but I prefer my right"

He goes back and gets a box "Here Elm, Phoenix Core, 11 inches, flexible." I raise a brow "Oh just flick it I always forget that" So I flick it and a pot of flowers catches on fire "Oops not this one then" He puts it back and brings another "How about this one Hawthorn, Dragon Heartsting (Common Welsh Green), 13 inches, firm." I flick it but only three small sparks emerge. "Ah nope" He takes it back then goes deeper into the store then comes back "Hornbeam, Dragon Heartstring (Hebridean Black), 10 inches, firm" I flick this one and a miniature dragon emerges made of scarlet flames and circles me a little before vanishing. "Oh seems this is your ideal wand."

The wood seemed a bit darker brown like lightly milked coffee, the handle seemed to have a scale like pattern over it, the wand itself had what appeared to be ivory vines going from the hand to just two inches from the tip it reminded me of frost on a window.

"Hornbeam is greatly adaptable to it's chosen. Normally it goes great with those who have a singular goal, ambition, or some may say obsession. What is yours?"

I have to think about it for a few seconds "I want to protect my pack. From everything and anything. Without a wand I will use wandless magic, without magic I will use a sword, without a sword I will use my fist, without my arms I will use my feet, without my legs I will use my teeth, without my teeth I will bash them with my skull." Olivander nods while Minerva and Snape seem to be contemplating mom just smiles at me proudly.

After becoming 10 galleons poorer, though I do not think that will make a dent due to all the vaults. Minerva smiles "If you will excuse me I really have to go now. I have another house to attend. But I am sure Severus will guide you" Severus glares at her a bit before she apparates away.

"Well then I suppose we shall get your books then. Come along" He then leads us to the book shop

"Uncle did you know my dad?"

He grunts "Reluctantly"

Seems Uncle Sev doesn't like my dad "Why do you hate him?" Sev pauses midstep thinking it over "You can tell us Uncle Snape. Family should always stick together over everything and anything."

He sighs "I knew your father in school he was a self entitled prat and he was most definitely a bully especially to Slytherins. Him and his three friends would always cause trouble and play pranks. Some of the pranks ended up with students in the hospital wing and one almost got a student killed. Though he and his friends didn't get expelled or harshly punished for it." Snape said through gritted teeth.

Mom looked a bit shocked. "Is this true?" Snape looked at her in the eye and we could both tell he was dead serious

"Sounds like my old man was an asshole in school."

Snape almost smirked at that "That is one way of putting it"

I merely shrug "Well I don't really know my father other than him and moms brief history. Plus I care more for the living than the deceased"

Mom smiles at me when we reach the bookstore "Alex why don't you go explore and pick out some books that interest you. I will talk to your Uncle for a bit" I nod feeling there is more to it but what can I do.
