chapter 6

The next morning was relatively tame but if my plans went ahead properly I'd have one of three major goals of mine in this world completed satisfactorily with only riddles death and the release of Sirius remaining. if all went well three of my goals will be done in a measly five years and if all my other long term plans went according to plan I'd have a philosophers stone to literally be able to spend millennia in this world,doing nothing but learn and create magic spells,potions and the like. Because all being said and done I was not the power hungry type, sure I'll reach the top in each world I go to simply because I want to, but I won't rush from world to world gaining power while forgetting to enjoy lives in said world's because I have a literal one in a billion billion chance to travel to a literal heap of worlds and I'd be damned if I didn't enjoy myself doing it. unlike most of said novels I read in my previous life I decided to spend a shitload of time, at least one standard lifetime in each world I go to because well it just wouldn't be fun otherwise.

I was now getting dressed up for the meeting with arcturus,as mom said he put a lot of stock into traditions and the like, while not being a complete blood bigot , oh he's still call certain muggleborn mudbloods but not all of them , the movies actually let that differentiation out but he always has this air of respect around him when he spoke about lily Evans having met her a few times before she die, he apparently liked that she took the effort to learn and understand wizarding traditions instead o taking one look and saying barbaric as many Muggle born have and will ,yes I'm looking at you you bushy haired book worm.either way he respected traditions while at the same time being forward looking enough that he didn't squib out the black line by inbreeding.

Either way I'm off to meet the wizard. wish me luck because if I managed to pull this off I'll be completing one third of my short term/long term plans. I decided not to let the horcrux thing out just yet I planned on doing it a month or so before my first year so as to be sure that he had already possessed quirrel so that if and when he left, he'd due immediately as there were no horcruxes holding his spirit in the physical world. and also because I wanted to see if the philosopher's stone in the mirror in the first year is actually real and as I'd have access to my dimension by then I'd store it there and study it at my leisure maybe return it to the flamels once I could replicate it or something. either way wish me luck off we are to see lord black.

leaving the manor with mother she took my hand and apparates us to manor black , not that stupid thing shown in the movies that was only the black townhouse,the manor itself was somewhere in the country hidden behind enough wards to make Hogwarts seem inferior. either way it was an imposing piece of architecture for one man to live in though he did survive the fight against Grindelwald and Voldemort with all his limbs attached which was kind of an achievement.

entering the imposing manor I couldn't help but mutter "abandon all hope, all ye who enter here," which apparently my mother heard if the small huff of laughter that left her was any indication, "no monsters in there dear child just your name sake well the good one not the bootlicker one," she says. "was that supposed to make me fell better oh mother of mine," I ask. "if he's half as scary and skilled as I plan to be in the future I would be quaking in my boots." I say with a huff. "no need to be scared I've met him often after your birth,talking about my children why do you think he decided to let you be heir apparent to house black? he knows all he needs to know about you to decide that so you'll probably be fine l just don't crumble under his stare I'm told he doesn't like people who do that." she says as if that was supposed to b comforting.

"either way we are here mother my opinions are immaterial to my plans,so shall me dear mother," I ask holding out my hand and bow theatrically."we shall oh child of mine."she replies with a small smile on her face. we knock on the knocker and a house elf dressed like a typical British butler open the door and to my surprise spoke in perfect English and says "welcome to black manor ,miss narcissa ,master malfoy , hand me your coats and I shall escort you to lord Black's study he awaits you." I had to keep the dumbfounded look off my face though apparently my mother caught it anyway and says "you do realise that not all house elves are as broken as malfoy ones dont you, unlike most families abraxus and Lucius used their elves as target practice hence them being stuttering messes." I reply with a "not anymore they wont,I released all the elves from the house malfoy and bonded them to me last night when Lucius was busy with his .....gathering," clearly conveying my disdain for the moron. "I had hoped you'd bond to four of them later,I have told them to only pretend to punish themselves and in case Lucius gets curse happy, to treat themselves the second they are away from his sight,and also to obey him for now so he doesn't suspect a thing. either way I think I'll ask lord black if I can send out elves here to get help from the trained elves here." and we were outside a huge door made of dark wood which clearly was the door to his study. knocking on the door and waiting of the word to enter the elf stood by us waiting patiently and when he heard something from inside h opens the door and hold it open as we enter.

I have to say of everything I was expecting this was not it,lord black for a man pushing 90 was surprisingly well built ,the glories of magic I suppose. tall ,broad shouldered,with a strong jaw set he was everything I hoped I would be if I ever actually grew old. "please take a seat," he said in a gruff voice that even now given his age held. anyone of command that said you had better listen to me." good morning to you narcissa, heir malfoy,"he said with a touch of formality which he clearly wanted reciprocated."good day to you as well lord black." I say while mother says, "good morning to you as well grandfather." while we bowed just enough to display respect but not enough to show deference.which was obviously the right thing to do if the gleam his eyes was any indication.

"I was informed you had some information to give me and a request you planned on making so what will it be first," he asked ."The request first grandfather," my mother says and continues with "the information is intended to be part of our payment to the request itself."

"very well, please proceed." he says clearly interested in what we were about to tell him. "my son had hoped that you would let him borrow the black family time turner for a period of no more than a single day in the near future for a task he intends to accomplish." arcturus turns and looks at me clearly surprised I was the one who wanted to borrow it, though it was not like his expressions showed it and asks "and pray tell what is this task that requires the usage of a time turner, there is not much that one can accomplish with just an extra days worth of time?" he asked clearly curious."It doesn't need to give me much time lord black it just need to give me enough. and the task is the elimination of the man who currently has placed a bounty on the life of the current lord black in hopes of being reagent black for the next 10 years in order to increase his own status in society, you know him as my father." I say with my face completely composed as if I had not just confessed to plotting murder. I do have to give credit to arcturus though he didn't even react at my declaration of him having a bounty on his life or at me planning on killing my father. He only raised a single eyebrow and asked "and why would you want to kill you own father boy?" "because he's an idiot who is squandering his own family name and earnings and I don't want him to do the same to my inheritance as well, also he has the audacity to hit the only person I care for in this world so I will extract my vengeance."I declared . Lord Black nods his head and says "you'll do boy, you'll do,"and continues with "tell me what your plan is currently and I'll consider whether or not to give you the tineturner." I repeat the plan I came up with a couple of months ago and then arcturus replies by saying "a passable plan but could be better, tell me boy why do you intend to wait till your first year to do it instead of doing it right now or anytime in between?" "no particular reason," I say "I just can't use the spells necessary yet, the minute I can I plan on putting the plan into motion the first year thing is merely the time I estimate being able to cast a killing curse that might actually kill someone." He nods his head in what I believe or rather want to be approval and says "you know your limits and are not blinded by unearned pride that is a good thing and will serve you well. I do have a few ideas that might make the time needed significantly shorter. But that is a thing for a later time for now tell me what is this information you believed I need to have?"
