Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 9:08 AMErik soon arrives at a Gargoyle Statue, and it just jumps aside, granting him passage to the Headmaster's Office. Climbing the stairs, he arrives at the Office's door and opens it. Stepping into the office he immediately pauses. Erik then looks at a shelf with dozens of silver knick-knacks on it. Some of them were whirring, some were puffing colored smoke, and some were swinging. His senses focus on the items and his suspicions were confirmed: Items with blood magic for monitoring. That's definitely not a legal thing to do."Whatever… I'll just let the DMLE take it."Erik shrugged and finished walking into the office. It was a large and well decorated circular room. About half of the walls were covered with tall bookshelves. It even had its own open second floor with a table and a comfortable looking armchair as a reading area. To the open second floor, two symmetric stairs lead to it. In one of the shel
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 10:40 AMAfter hearing Auror Moody report, Director Bones groaned and raised a hand to her head, starting to massage her temples. The headache was coming back. Blood magic was something that was heavily prohibited a long time ago because of the sheer number of deaths and disasters that some of the more dark families were causing upon the community. Every minor conflict with them was a reason to curse the blood of the family. Because of that, the families that were using it freely were hunted down by the affected one and their allies resulting in family wars and the total annihilation of said families. Not wanting to have something like that happening again, the voters in the Wizengamot banded together and banned the practice of blood magic from the British Isles. From that moment, the knowledge (books), if found, would be confiscated by the Unspeakables and the possessor would be heavily fined, and the user of s
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 11:12 AMErik commented and continued to watch, as an eerie and raspy voice ordered Quirrel to 'use the boy'. Quirrell then ordered the boy to look at the mirror. Mr. Potter then stood in front of the mirror and Erik paused again. He quickly positioned himself behind the boy and 'unpaused' the memory. He watched as the boy's reflection took a red ruby-like stone from its pants' pocket, showed it to him, gave him a wink and put the stone back in the pocket. Mr. Potter then, as sneaky as an elephant in a china store could be, checked his pocket and noticed the bulge in it. But the stupid professor didn't seem to notice. Mr Potter then made a lie on the run about what he had seen in the mirror. The eerie and raspy voice came back and ordered/asked to talk with the boy himself. Quirrell then started to undo his purple turban, and the group saw the horror in the kid's face as a face with snake features was revealed u
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 11:45 AMLarry Potter was doing a fine impression of a fish outside the water at the moment. What he just saw was some very amazing stuff, even when magic is taken into account. But then, he only knew this magic world for a little more than a year, so he didn't have much of a base to compare. Larry Potter then looked at his Head of House, and paused. Even if she was not doing a fish outside the water impression, she was looking at Erik with wide eyes."I hope that you didn't mind, Mr. Potter, but I just sent my memories of you telling us about your last year's adventure to my friends, the Flamels."Erik said. Larry Potter looked back at Erik, and managed to close his mouth."No problem, sir, It was their stone that was in danger, after all. But Professor Dumbledore said that he had already told Mr. Flamel about the… ahn… incident.""And I don't doubt that he did, Mr. Potter. It's just that, sometimes, it is bett
Chapter 26: Burn It, Burn It With Fire!14 - 17 minutesHogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 12:02 PM"Fiendfyre!? You summoned Fiendfyre?"Came Director Bones voice from his side. The woman had her wand out and was ready to cast, depending on Erik's answer."Yes, Director Bones. Do you remember what I said yesterday? That some pieces of magic can't be destroyed by normal means?""You don't mean that…"Erik replied to Director Bones, and the woman didn't finish what she was saying, she was shocked with the answer.'A Horcrux. That thing is a Horcrux!'Erik gave a small nod without looking at her. He then tipped the hand that was holding the now identified piece of corrupted magic and dipped the 'thing' into the ball of living hell fire.The piece of Horcrux let out a high pitched shriek and was consumed by the hungry flames, while Erik released the white tendrils from his blue magic circle.The shriek made every person inside the office shiver, eve
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 12:30 PM"In the year of 1979, I witnessed a young seer give a prophecy about the end of the Dark Lord."Dumbledore said, and saw that he had Erik's attention. He took a deep breath and continued."I was in the middle of interviewing a young woman to the Office of Divination Professor, when she went into a trance and made a prophecy. She said: The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…"Dumbledore stood there, looking at Erik."That's all?"Erik flatly said."No, no. You see, a young man, who had made some very bad decisions in his life, heard
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 1:00 PMAfter a quick lunch, where Erik put Susan and the girls on par with what had happened that morning, Erik saw himself entering the staff meeting room. He looked around and saw that most of the professors were already there. He walked through the room and got to the head of the table, a position normally occupied by the Headmaster. With a wave of his hand, Erik summoned some blank parchments and took his fountain pen from the pocket inside his blazer. He then looked at the chair that was 'ready' for him at the table's head. It was another damn golden throne-like chair.*sigh*"A house-elf, please."Erik sighed and asked for the presence of a house elf. With a pop, a house-elf appeared beside him.*pop*"How can Pisty help Lord Ravenclaw?"The house-elf asked Erik."Hello Pisty, can you, please, change this… abomination, for a normal chair? And after that, please, arrange some tea and black coffee to be del
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 23rd, 1992, 2:03 PM"You have my word, Professor Binns, we will hire a good substitute for you."Erik said to the ghostly professor. Cuthbert Binns' ghostly appearance floated more straight after hearing that, like an enormous weight had just been taken from his shoulders.The other Professors and staff members were looking at the man with different eyes now. Professor McGonagall was the first to ask."Cuthbert, you were forcing yourself to stay here, waiting for a substitute?""Yes, Minerva. I first started teaching here in Hogwarts just after I graduated, fresh out of my NEWTs. I got a Professor-Apprentice contract and stayed in the castle teaching until I got my Mastery. After that, I traveled the world and visited a lot of different magic communities and learned their history. I came back, five years later, after receiving an invite from my Master and Professor. He was retiring and asked me if I wanted to go back to Hog
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsDecember 1st, 1992, 08:31 PM - ThursdayErik, Selena, Joan and Leona were again inside the main chamber of Salazar's Secret Chamber. They had teleported directly inside it this time, as was way easier this way than flying down a bathroom's pipe.First thing that Erik did was to summon and launch, again, dozens of little balls of white light. With that, the chamber was well illuminated again."Okay girls. Let's divide and conquer. Selena and Joan will tackle the magic doors. Leona and I will see to the mechanical ones."Erik said to his wives and Selena walked to the first magical door, the one in the stone bust's mout, with Joan going after her. Erik then turned to Leona."Okay, Leona, lead the way."Erik said to Leona, who nodded her head and turned to where the first mechanical door was located. He followed Leona to one of the towering pillars and she went for the wall near it. Leona stopped by the wall and put her right hand over
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsDecember 1st, 1992, 01:21 AM - Thursday"I met some centaurs that live in the forest."Joan said to Erik. They had left Selena alone a little with Hilda's body to say her final goodbyes and were now out the main chamber, by the round door."And?"Erik said, expecting Joan to continue her tale. And she did."I found a group of them galloping in the direction where Selena was with the basilisk and appeared in front of them to stop them. One of the centaurs of the group ordered me to step aside. And I replied that they were welcome to pass by me if they wanted to look a thousand year old basilisk in the eyes. That shut the loud one up and a more gentle one asked me to explain. I said that I was one of the wives of Erik Ravenclaw, Lord of Ravenclaw and Hogwarts' castle and that I was entrusted to warn the denizens of the forest to stay out of the way of the basilisk. He asked what a basilisk would have been doing in the forest and I tol
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 30th, 1992, 10:23 PM - MondaySelena, hearing her name, took Erik's side and prepared herself for opening the door in the stone bust. She took a deep breath and steeled herself. Selena then pointed Slytheryn's sword's blade to the stone bust, pumped her magic into the sword and said in an out loud voice."OPEN."Different from the other two doors, the stone bust stood quiet and then, its eyes started to glow with an eerie green light. Selena felt that the statue was looking directly at her, judging her, and she looked directly at its green eyes while standing in place. For an instant nothing happened, and then the stone bust's eyes went off and the group heard the now common sound of stone grinding at stone. The stone bust's mouth started opening. It continued to open until its lower lips were just centimeters above the stagnant black water. Erik then heard a loud hissing sound."It's coming!"Erik said, and he felt Joan an
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 30th, 1992, 9:51 AM - MondayHe then stored the mokeskin pouch in an inside pocket of his robes.Erik then did the same with the cup and the locket, storing them inside his mokeskin pouch and putting it inside an internal pocket inside his blazer."So, Mr. Croaker, what do you want to do about the disembodied soul of Tom Riddle?"Erik asked Croaker."The detector that we crafted showed that it was outside the British Isles, so I will have to take that offer that you made to us to help hunt for it."Croaker said to Erik."No problem. Selena will love to hunt it down."Erik said to Croaker, letting a big grin appear on his face just imagining what Selena will do to the soul of Tom Riddle."And when can you help us hunt it down?"Croaker asked Erik."How about this Wednesday? December 2nd?"Erik asks Croaker, giving him a date."That's good for us. What time?"Croaker replied and asked Erik."Two o'clock in the afternoon. Meet
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 30th, 1992, 9:25 AM - MondayErik was seated in the lounge area of the Headmaster's office, looking through the letters from people applying to teach History of Magic when he felt the wards warning of visitors. With a quick look at his wrist watch, Erik saw that it was almost time for the meeting and went back to reading the letters waiting for them to arrive in the office. Selena had already gone through the letter and scheduled the interviews, but she had asked him to go through them too.It was like that, reading letters, that two Unspeakables found Erik when they entered the Headmaster's office. Erik had let the door open for them to enter. He put the letters back down on the low central table of the lounge area and got up to greet the Unspeakables."Gentleman, good morning and welcome to Hogwarts."Erik said to the gray duo."Good morning, Lord Ravenclaw."Said one of the two Unspeakables, which Erik could deduce was C
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 30th, 1992, 6:30 AM - MondayMonday started as normally as ever for Erik if not for the extra step of waking one of his wives too. Serafall had work to go back to today, so she had asked him to wake her up, and he did. He got up from a bed full of naked bodies after some work and set himself to wake Serafall."Sera… Time to wake up."Erik said near the ear of a sleeping Serafall. She was hugging Leona's naked body from behind and had her face snuggled in her bishop's mass of blonde hair."Hmmm… Don't wanna…"Serafall managed to murmur after giving out a moan-like sigh."Come on, Sera.""Hmmm… "Erik called her one more time, but he received another moan-like sigh as answer."Sera… I'm calling you early so we can have some fun in the shower… If you don't wake up, I'll have to take a shower alone."That seemed to do the trick. Serafall's eyes shot open inside the mass of blonde hair."Carry me?!"Serafall asked Erik, letting
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 29th, 1992, 1:33 PM - SundayErik and his big family were just finishing their lunch. They spent most of the morning time talking inside the owner's chambers. Well, at least it was what the woman did. Erik spent most time with a happy Serafall cuddling with him in his lap.Selena had offered the visitors a tour of the castle, and they did one. They visited most of the famous points inside the castle. The women's favorite spot was the astronomy tower. Being one of the tallest towers of the castle allowed it to give everyone who climbed it a wonderful view of the grounds around. The tour outside the castle would be done after lunch.As soon as everyone finished their lunch, Sona was pulling Erik from his seat. The castle's Lord followed the little devil with no problem, and got up from his seat while holding her hand."Come, big brother. You promised to show me the magical creatures."Sona demanded from Erik."Slow down, Sona
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 28th, 1992, 7:22 AM - SaturdayOn that morning, while Erik was reading the newspaper, the headline from the front page got his attention.~~~~~~~~~~BARTEMIUS CROUCH JR FOUND ALIVE!Father abuses power and aids son escape from Azkaban!By Louise Line~~~~~~~~~~The article went on how Madam Bones, following Minister Fudge orders to investigate Sirius Black unlawful imprisonment, questioned Bartemius Crouch Snr, who was the Director of the DMLE during the end of the war and was now the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and got reasons to search his house. During the search at the house, Bartemius Crouch Junior was found hiding under an invisibility cloak and under the Imperius Curse. After being freed from the unforgivable, Junior, who was reported as having died in Azkaban, had the pleasure in telling the Aurors how his father had freed him from Azkaban with the help of his dying mother and tw
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 25th, 1992, 7:29 AM - WednesdayErik was again seated on the head of Ravenclaw's house table in the Great Hall and serving himself some latte when the day's newspaper appeared by his side. He took the time to finish serving his latte and drink a little before getting the newspaper to red. When Erik did it, he read the big headline on the front page of it.~~~~~~~~~~RAVENCLAWS TALK!First interview ever from the oldest wizard and witch alive!By Barnabas Cuffe~~~~~~~~~~Erik read the entire article written by Mr. Cuffe. The man wrote about his arrival at the school and his first impressions of Lord Ravenclaw. He continued about being invited to the owner's chambers of the castle and being introduced to Lady Ravenclaw and to Erik's other two wives. Mr. Cuffe went on to express his impressions on Erik's wives and what he had noticed during all the duration of the interview. Each part had a beautiful photo that accompanied th
