1 Introductory chapter, Must Read

Chapter 1

Example Chapter

This chapter is intended to keep the format of the chapter saved.

Also, this chapter serves the purpose of differentiating the canon with the fanon, and then my OC house details.

HOUSE HIERARCHY

In my fan fiction, the European magical community rose around 100 BCE.

Ollivanders are the oldest, still surviving Noble house. While not the most wealthy, they are one of the most respected and hence are provided with neutrality in any conflict, as they are the premiere Wand makers of Western Europe.

My OC house, Mendax (Latin for Liars) came into existence with the first Noble houses, the Blacks, the Peverells (Main Line Extinct), the Emyrs (Extinct) and some other houses, which have gone extinct and serve no other purpose other than filling parchment in the records of the Old houses and Ministry records. These houses originated around 600 AD and are entitled Most Ancient Houses, along with Ollivanders. Malfoy should also come under Most Ancient as they were founded around this time, but they are not which is discussed down below. They are entitled to 3 Votes in the Wizengamot.

The Founders (Slytherin (Main Line Extinct), Gryffindor (Main Line Extinct), Hufflepuff (Main Line Extinct), and Ravenclaw (Extinct) came into origin around 950AD, along with Pendragon (Extinct) and most of the Sacred 28, along with Weasleys and other minor houses. These Houses are called Ancient houses. They are entitled to 2 Votes in the Wizengamot.

Potters came into existence around 1300 AD (canon) and later their line mixed with the last of Peverells, giving them what historians of that time called "superior magical blood" and were given the title of Ancient House. Potters would be no different than Weasleys, they remain famous due to Fleamont Potter's potion, a direct relation to Blacks and having the defeater of one Dark Lord in recent years.

Malfoys on the other hand, will be upstarts and betrayers of the French kings, who were later given land by the Pendragon after they were exiled disgracefully from their home nation. Hence they are Ancient houses and not the Most Ancient.

Onto NOBLE HOUSES

For noble houses, the fanfic will be copying criteria from another fan fiction, one whose name has been forgotten, but the concept remains.

Noble here is directly related to the wealth of the house. Hence one could always buy their way into Wizengamot.

A net worth of 300,000 golden galleons correlates to a Nobel house, while a million galleon is the Most Noble house.

Most new houses, which emerged around 1600 and found their way to Wizengamot of their respective countries, are Most Noble/Noble houses. These include Dumbledore, Greengrass and more.

While I have no plans revolving around Grindelwald in this fan fiction, his house will be one that emerged around the 1700s. His depiction (if any) will be of someone who raised the name of his house from nothing to one of the most feared names in the magical community internationally. Specifically, Gellert will be shown as someone who is not all-powerful, barely above-average Wizard but one who wins by charisma and his intellect rather than his Magical Power. (Magical Power vs. Magical Prowess)

Onto House Mendax then

House Mendax is a Most Ancient and Noble House.

They are rich, but never very rich, primarily due to their expenditure on human resources rather than materialistic resources.

Their words are Prius scriber loqui, Latin for Written wins over Spoken.

They are the infamous house of Killer Wizards, someone to be afraid of. One could always count them to be disloyally loyal- it's in their words.

A written contract with House Mendax will be one unbreakable contract, not by magic but by their word and conviction. For them, it supersedes even an Unbreakable Vow, but vice versa is also true- one can never trust the spoken word of House Mendax, and always be sure to be betrayed in that case. Despite the obvious warning, many houses have witnessed the result of not studying the Words and Sigils of various Noble houses, a book by Abraxas Black, written in 800 AD, 13th edition by Sirius Black the First, 1781 AD.

It is said half of the blood feuds ever called were from House Mendax, and all of them were carried to the last member of the bloodline. Due to them, the Pendragon, Emyrs and about 59 other Ancient houses are extinct.

They are also a house who do not delve into politics and try to resolve an issue by fighting rather than talking.

Due to the infamy, few houses have daughters/ sons to marry into the family, mostly the Peverells, the Blacks and the Malfoys. They are one of the few houses which have had regular mixing of muggle-born blood in their line, but none of the other houses can point fingers at them due to their sheer tales.

Another strange tradition is the Mendax heirship. Unlike other houses where the primordial is followed, Mendax follows the most ruthless of one generation and makes him/her the Lord or Lady of the House. This is determined by the Mendax Old Magics, and the heir is automatically chosen after the death of the current Lord Mendax.

Important Mendax names-

Confidential

Current Head of the House (Althan the 41st Mendax)

Heir to House Mendax (Adrian Mendax and 13 others)

That's it for the introductory chapter. I will be adding 14k words for early rankings entry and will delete any reviews which complain about it- it's not an unfair advantage, it's a loophole, one I intend to use one hundred per cent.

Also, I expect Comments and Power stones. That's the vindication I receive in return for delivering a chapter to everyone.

Comments are more important than Power stones though. Stones are a way to make the story more popular and in turn, generate more Comments. As the Comments die, the story dies with it.
