Third Year

<Narcissa Ashwood Pov>

It had been two weeks since I had been living with my husband. It felt really nice to say Agustus is my husband, and let's just say everything that led me close to him was worth it. Agustus loved me. He said "I love you" every night when we went to bed and I could feel he meant it every time he said that.

One day, last week, when Agustus and I were cuddling, he asked me if I had done any rituals when I was younger. I told him about an experiment I did at Hogwarts.

I was fascinated by magic and beauty. I used a ritual to enhance my beauty, using hair and blood of a veela and hair of a vampire.

Hearing this, Agustus looked like he got the answer to a question that had been bothering him. Did I do anything wrong?

I panicked and asked him why he asked that. He just kissed my forehead, melting my worries away, and said "Nothing, my dear. I just felt really attracted to you, and it felt like my soul was not complete without you. Now I know why that was."

My heartbeat quickened at every word he said. I was done for.

He explained to me how that ritual made me his soul mate as the hair I used could be of a Ancient Vampire. He told me he was part Ancient vampire due to Drakul blood and the ritual I did made me inherit some vampire and veela traits. In the ancient tombs, it was written that a soul bond existed between magical creatures like werewolves and vampires. The same bond I had with my husband. I couldn't thank my past self enough for deciding to do that ritual.

Alfred, the house butler, was a ancient vampire too. The butler was really loyal to Agustus and cared about him. When Agustus told him about me being part vampire and his future wife, he started calling me Ma'am as Agustus's wife. Skadi the little phoenix was really nice to me, as we both shared a bond with Agustus. She could feel my emotions too. She was like a playful child, always wanting Agustus's attention. I finally had a loving family.

The British magical community had not yet found out about my divorce with Lucius, as Agustus wanted to keep it a secret for his future plans and Dora. And I agreed with him.

I also met Hela. I couldn't believe Agustus had the goddess of death serving him. Agustus had made me immortal like him, so we could be together forever. Hela also wanted Agustus and she was very blatant about that, kissing my husband in front of me and all. I had agreed to share him, but that made me jealous. Though, after that, we had quite a passionate kissing night.

It was that time again. Today was 1st September. He would be going to Hogwarts and it hurts me. I wished I was in Hogwarts so I could be with him.

He was leaving now. I was in his arms and my lips were swollen due to him. I wanted us to be like this forever. He kissed me on the neck and bit me. That always felt good. This was his signal to say goodbye and he apparated away. It had not been a minute since he left and I already missed him.

<Pov end>

We see Agustus sitting in a Hogwarts train compartment. It was the start of his third year at Hogwarts. He could have apparated there directly, but he enjoyed the trip with his friends.

'Yup, I'm returning home every night. Who wouldn't if they had a lovely wife like that?' thought Agustus and smiled, he too was missing Narcissa.

Agustus had found out he had soul bonds, after researching in Drakul tomes. He found out about some twilight kind of shit.

He was bonded to two girls. One was Narcissa and the other one he had yet to find.

Narcissa was a lovely woman who had suffered a lot. His vampiric traits came out in front of her, and it was not a bad thing. During the last two weeks, he saw her smile more and more. She became clingy, childish, and sometimes, suddenly acted like a mature wife. He thanked the god that reincarnated him for this bond.

After introducing her to Hela, Agustus saw she was jealous, so he had slepless night with her, he gave her hundreds of kisses to make sure that she knows, he loved her a lot.

Agustus also had planned to explain everything about Narcissa and Hela to Dora. He already knew what she would say, thought. He had known her for two years, and dated her for more than one and a half. She would be jealous, angry, and punch him in the stomach (she loved his face too much to hurt it). Then she would kiss him and ask him who he loved more, who he would marry first, and all sorts of questions, she's a combination of Tsundere and Yandere after all.

He didn't have to wait for long. His friends arrived in the compartment and train left the station.

They continued talking about their summer, and the twins and Cedric told them about how dark families were suffering.

Twins and Cedric talked about Harry Potter being in train and how twins had entered the platform with a boy with glasses to which Agustus just listened to both of them.

They were talking when suddenly someone knocked on their compartment's door.

Weird, thought Dora, the twins, and Cedric. The door had the Peverell house symbol, nobody questioned Agustus when he engraved the door not even the professors, even the candy seller knocked on this door. 'It must be a first year Muggle-born,' they all thought.

The door opened with a flick of Agustus's finger. He expected to see Hermione, who had been looking for Neville's toad all over the train, but instead he was greeted by the sight of Heir Greengrass and her friend Tracey Davis. The two girls looked out of place in his compartment, especially Tracey, who seemed nervous under the curious gazes of his friends. Daphne, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed, though Agustus noticed a hint of warmth in her eyes when she saw him. That warmth quickly turned into a cold stare when she spotted Dora sitting next to him.

They exchanged polite greetings, and Agustus introduced his friends to Daphne as a Noble Heir should. Daphne did the same for Tracey, and then continued.

"Sorry to disturb you, Heir Peverell, but my sister asked me to give you this letter. You didn't reply to her last one, and she was really sad. Please, write back to her this time."

<Daphne pov>

How could he ignore my sister's letter? He didn't even bother to come to my birthday party, and now he acts like he did nothing wrong. I'm grateful to him for healing Astoria, but I don't like him at all. Astoria adores him and wanted to see him again, but he never visited her once.

I tried to tell Astoria not to write to him about his rejection, but she wouldn't listen. She poured out her feelings in a letter, and he didn't even have the decency to reply. Astoria was so happy after getting healed, but she cried for days after that. She thought Heir Peverell hated her, and it broke my heart to see her like that. I will never forgive him for making my sister cry. Humph, it's not like I wanted him to come to my birthday, definitely not. It was Astoria who insisted on inviting him.

I glanced at the girl in his compartment, who looked very beautiful and was sitting too close to him for my liking. No, of course not. I didn't care about him at all.

I handed him Astoria's letter and left with Tracey. I didn't want to see Heir Peverell's face any longer. And I certainly didn't like how Tracey gushed about him being a handsome prince and all.

<Pov end>

As Daphne left the compartment, Agustus opened the letter and handed it to Dora, who was glaring at him. Dora put the letter in her bag and muttered something under her breath. The twins and Cedric laughed at his predicament.

They continued their conversation, while Agustus wondered how to deal with Astoria's letter. He decided to write back to her and gave his letter to Skadi, to deliver it to Astoria. But Skadi refused to take it, she chirped, which Agustus understood that she didn't want to leave Agustus and would deliver the letter once they got to Hogwarts. She snuggled on his shoulder, making him smile, twins looked at him enviously, she was just too cute. He was about to stroke her feathers, when someone knocked on the door again. He had a feeling he knew who it was this time.
