*Harry Potter POV*
"Harry, who is Mr. Lexian? Is he a famous wizard?"
"Hmmm… In here? No. In his home country? Yes."
"Do you know how he knows about all this bloodline and history about the wizarding family? I never read anything about it in Hogwart Library."
"Well, Lady Medea says that Hogwart has a weakness in its History teaching and I must agree with her. Professor Binns is not a great teacher. I once asked Madam Pince why we didn't have the newest History book from another country. She said that the Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Binns think we don't need it."
"But that is…"
"Not fair, I know. After Sirius becomes my guardian, he takes me to meet his old friend, Lexian Vongola, in Romania and when I arrive in his place I see a library more grand than the one Hogwart has."
"But that is impossible. Hogwarts library is massive, a normal house or even a mansion cannot match the size of Hogwarts library."
"That is the thing, his place is not a normal house or mansion."
"What?"
"His own a Castle"
"What?!?"
"Yes, there is a reason why I call him with formality. He is truly a Lord that owns a land and castle like in the medieval time."
"That is…"
"Shocking right? He is the lord that governs one of the Wizarding Communities in Romania and people like him because he is a Kind, Honorable and Just lord."
I know I get a bit overboard praising Lord Lexian but I couldn't help it.
"That mean you are serious when you say that he has more selection of books in his place?"
"Yeah. Sadly I can't take you there, Hermione or borrow books from him."
"Why?!? You know him right?"
"Yes, but I'm not a close friend like Sirius and even Sirius didn't want to ask something from Lord Lexian. Lord Lexian is the reason why Black Family still has their wealth. Lord Lexian is the one in charge of keeping the Black family from bankruptcy from Narcissa Malfoy and Her husband Lucius Malfoy. They spend a huge amount of money from the Black Vault in 'Donation' to a 'Deserving' family. Because of this, Sirius didn't want to do more favors for Lexian."
This is a made up story of course but with the help of Lady Medea connection in England, it becomes a 'True' story. Now, not only the Malfoy family became known as the Death Eater family but also the Money Stealing family and when Sirius cast away Narcissa from Black family with a reason for taking away all money from Black vault, the made up story became reality.
"So, I'm sorry Hermione but look like you can't read the books from Lord Lexian library."
I smile a little when I see Hermione have a little pout on her face.
A few minutes later, we arrived at Hogwarts and had just the perfect time for dinner. We spend our time in Hogsmeade longer than we thought it would be. As we arrive, we immediately go to the Great Hall and sit down on the chair with the others.
"Hermione, I hear that you want to drop Muggle Study and Divination, is that true?"
"Yes, It really is impossible to keep up with all the electives and when Professor McGonagall sees my condition she decides to take back the time turner."
"Then it was good for you, Hermione. I say from the first time we need to choose our elective that you don't need to burden yourself."
"I know, Harry but I couldn't help myself."
I shake my head hearing Hermione and her obsession to be the best at everything.
"Ron, how about you?"
"Me? I only choose Divination and Care of Magical Creature, you know that right?"
"Yeah, I know. What I mean is, how is the Divination election?"
"A free 'O' in my opinion. You only need to see inside a magic ball and say that there will be some people who get into an unfortunate accident and you will get an Outstanding."
"Really?"
"Yup, That is why I ask you if you want to select Divination as your second elective but you instead choose Study of Ancient Rune."
"And I'm not regretting it. I enjoy studying ancient rune."
"Heh, whatever you say mate"
After eating our dinner, we go back to the common room. As I walk inside the common room, I see Hedwig already inside the common room waiting for me. On her back is a black box with a Vongola symbol.
~Harry chick~
I smile a little when I hear Hedwig's voice. It has been sometimes since I bonded with her as my familiar. However, even though my status as her master, Hedwig will always call me her chick but for some reason I'm okay with that.
~Hello, Hedwig~
I answer back her greeting via our familiar connection.
~Harry chick, I bring a gift from your mate~
I blush a little at her calling Valerie as my mate. While I'm thinking Valerie is beautiful beyond recognition, I'm thinking of her as my sister instead of a love interest. There is a reason why I can't see her as a love interest. The first one is that she has this aura that makes me want to see her as my Big Sister that will always protect me, heal me if I'm injured and make me feel like I have a family. Lord Lexian says that it was the Sky attraction but I think it was because of her personality that made her a perfect big sister.
The other reason is that I already have a love interest.
~She is not my mate, Hedwig~
~Yet. She is not your mate yet. Now take her gift already before I wack you in the head for being stupid~
~Yes Mother~
Hedwig was always a mother when from the first time Hagrid gave her to me. He will wack and bite my ear if I do something stupid or if I didn't enough food. When I'm not yet bonded with her, she will hoot at my ear like a mother scolding their child.
~Do you know what's inside, Hedwig?~
~I don't Harry chick. The King and his mate did not say anything.~
Oh right. This is the other reason why I always call Lexian, Lord Lexian. Hedwig will call him a King and when I try to call him by his name, I will get scolded by her, saying that it is impolite calling a king by its given name.
~The king say that it will help you in your magic study.~
As I open up the box, I see a black wand sitting inside the box. It has a smooth, unadorned shaft and a handle formed from two conjoined spheres. There is also a note inside the box that says.
"Please infuse this wand with your Lightning flame."
I pick up the wand and immediately feel a connection between my magic and the wand. It was like the feeling I get from the first time I touch my current wand.
When I push a little bit of my Lightning flame inside the wand, I can see the wand begin to change. The plain black wand begins to create a lightning-like pattern around its shaft. The color of the pattern is green the same color as my Lightning flame.
The warm feeling also gets stronger after I push my Lightning flame inside the wand.
I point my wand toward the box Hedwig brought with her and says.
"Engorgio"
Suddenly the box in front of me began to grow in size and continue to grow ten times its original size.
"What? But I only use a little bit of my magic. Is this the power of this wand?"
I decided to return the box to its original size but to my surprise, instead of returning it to its original size, it became a tiny little box. It has the size of a Hedwig claw.
"Look like I can't use this wand yet without training my magic control."
I wonder where Lord Lexian gets this wand from?
