Chp 8

Next day morning

Alexis woke from sleep and began the morning training that Both his grandpas recommended. They said that magic could be affected by the body, especially before 11. Most old families train their heirs and children at 6 to help them connect the magic to their bodies. The training began by running outside around the manor.

He ran for 5 kilometers, and then he stopped to get some rest. Then he began the second training in his schedule, which was to swim in the nearby lake for 30 minutes while doing boxing exercises, and the last of his agenda was to meditate for 1 hour to clear his mind. After he finished meditating, he waited for his grandfather to wake up and call him to introduce him to a martial arts master to help him train his body

After 2 hours

He waited for his grandfather Arcturus in the living room. He was reading a book about etiquette and how to behave like an heir when his grandfather arrived

Arcturus " hello Alexis, what are you doing?"

Alexis, In a serious tone, said, "Hello, grandpa. I was reading a book about etiquette to understand how to behave when meeting other lords and their heirs. I don't want to disappoint you and grandpa Ignatius."

Arcturus said proudly," well done, my heir, that's what I expected you to do. On another subject, your tutor has just arrived. He is in the study room. Come, let us go meet him there."

Alexis " ok, grandpa, let us go."

After ten minutes of walking and Arcturus teaching Alexis how to greet his tutor, they arrived at the study room, and they saw a man sitting down drinking tea while reading a transfiguration book called new ways for a grandmaster to transfigure.

Arcturus went to him to greet him " hello, my old friend, how are you doing? That is my great-grandson that I mentioned "

The tutor" hello, my friend. Finally, you cashed out the favor I owed you when You saved me from a rank lethal spell that if it hit me, I may die, and my house would be ended with me. I won't forget that fact for all my living years.

Arc, you still didn't introduce me to your grandson."

Arcturus said, " oh, I forgot, let me introduce you to my grandson Alexis Charles rose, the first heir to the most ancient and Noble housed black and he also the first heir to most ancient and Noble house of Prewitt, and this, my friend, as he gestured at the tutor, lord of the most ancient and most noble and revered house of authors

Naser the author."

Arcturus," continued the author, is one of oldest houses that ever existed. It has members from all over the world, the current lord of the house, naser author, is one of the greatest lords of the house of most ancient and the most Nobel house of authors. He knows a lot of information about martial arts and dueling, and he is ten times the world dueling champion. He owes me a life debt. I cashed it to let him train you."

Naser" as arc said, my name is naser, author lord of authors. I am here to train your body and mind. Arc can you go? I want to teach my student the knowledge that is only passed from teacher to student."

Arcturus " ok, Alexis, train hard and don't slack off."

Alexis " yes, grandfather."

As naser saw Arcturus go out, he began to talk," I will teach you knowledge that no one knows so powerful that it can destroy countries, but to learn it, I will first train you in basic things to see if you can bear the responsibility and I will teach you, and the actual training will begin when you are 15 years but know I will teach you things that can help you, the first thing I will introduce is occlumency."

Alexis" what is occ… what you said?"

" it is called OCCLUMENCY. O C C L U M E N C Y

It is The magical defense of the mind against external penetration. An obscure branch of magic, but a highly useful one, it also the defense against legilimency. It's the art that reads the mind, as muggles say."

" How will you teach it to me?" Alexis asked as he knew how snape trained Harry in the books and movies. He doesn't want naser to read his mind

"Don't worry, child take this book and learn the basics, and I will help build your defenses," as he gives him a book called occlumency and its secrets.

When Alexis saw the book, he was relieved and thanked naser, but he asked where he got it from naser answered," it is a book that my ancestors got from ancient ruins of an old wizard that was known in his age but died from old age."

He continued, " the book was kept as a secret because it's an advanced branch on occlumency. When a wizard learns it, his mind will be impossible to read it. The book can give ideas in a way to build your mental defenses and imaginative way to build as you will learn when you will read it. It will also give you a photographic memory if you learn it. The book splits art into four levels. The first level and your memory will be strengthened. You will also be building the structure of your mindscape on the second level. You will get a photographic memory and master the level you bust build on the structure. On the third level, you will finish building your mind space, and you can remember everything from childhood. The last level is to connect your mindscape to your core, and it will give better control over your magic."

He continued, " if you finish LVL 3, I will begin training you in the art of dueling, and if you are in Hogwarts and have finished LVL 3 one of my students will teach you the art. His name is Flitwick. He was one of the brightest students I had the privilege to train. I expect a lot from you. Don't disappoint me," Naser said

Alexis" I will train hard."

Naser "that's what I expect from my students. Ok, let's begin."

After that, Naser began training Alexis in occlumency for 1 hour, then he started teaching h about magic theory and talked about how to have better control over it. He also gives some tips to improve his control over it.

And after a few hours of teaching, naser told Alexis that his training for today had finished and gave him some titles of books that he must read before his next meeting, and they will meet every day until he joined a school. Then he teleported away.

After he saw him teleport, he went to the living room to sit with his family. When he arrived there, he saw both his grandpas talking about politics, and he also saw his great-grandma and his grandma playing with his sisters, so he went to sit near his grandpas to hear them talking about politics. After a few minutes, he saw his father come to ask his grandpa Ignatius to teleport him to get his paternal grandparents. After Ignatius accepted, he took Charles and teleported to get them

When he saw them teleported, he remembered something he wanted to ask his grandpa Arcturus And said, " grandpa, I have a question to ask you."

Arcturus said, " ask who is shutting you down?"

Alexis " grandpa, I read a book about familiars. It said most wizards make a bond with them on 11 birthday or find them when they are older?"

Arcturus replied, "yes, most records showed that normal wizards get or their familiar go to them when they are 11, but in special cases, they meet when they are 10. Normally, a wizard has one familiar. Why are you asking me this question?"

Alexis" nothing, but I have two familiars bonded to me."

Arcturus" WHAT do you have them? Bring them here. Now let me check them."

Alexis" ok, I will call them now. ATHENA ZEUS TO ME NOW"

Arcturus " what are you doing " as Arcturus said his last word, both Athena and Zeus teleported to them, and all the family and Arcturus's mouth fell to the ground

Alexis" grandpa, meet my two familiars, Athena and Zeus. Athena is a Phoenix, and Zeus is a royal Thunderbird" as they heard their names they trilled to him

Arcturus" how you did a Phoenix and a ROYAL Thunderbird before 11. You are talented. If others heard about they would have a heart attack."

Lucretia entered the conversation " my grandson is a genius, one in a millennium genius. Wait until I meet other ladies."

Melania" calm down Luc. We won't tell anyone until he joins Hogwarts to protect him."

Lucretia" ok, mother, I can wait."

Arcturus " tell me how you met them"

Alexis" ok"

He began telling his grandfather when he met Athena, but he Lied to him and said he met her when he was seven and told the real story of how he met her. Then he talked about Zeus, how once he was woken up from sleep, he found an egg between his leg and how he hatched it.

Arcturus" so this is how you met your familiars, wait a bit; I will go bring a book that can help you with raising and handling the familiars."

As he said his last words, he went to bring the book

A few minutes passed when he heard a

Pops

When he saw his grandfather Ignatius and his father Charles arrived with two people with them, and they were his grandparents, John rose and melody rose née smith

When he saw them, he went to greet them " GRANDPA GRANMA, how are you"

His grandpa replied, " fine, how are you, little Alex."

Alexis said while pouting, " GRANDPA, DON'T call me that. You know I hate to be called that "

John" I know that I like to have fun with you."

Melody said," behave, John, we are in another house. Hello, my little badger."

Alexis" hello, granma, I missed you so much."

Melody" me to my little badger."

Melody " I want to ask what noble family manor we are in now."

Charles " you know about magic?"

Melody " of course I know about it. My family was in an old house, but they were all killed by my father's enemy when I was 20. I left the magical world and lost my magic from grief."

Melania" hello melody, my name is Melania black née Macmillan, the grandmother of your daughter-law, and this is her mother, Lucretia."

Melody" WAIT, a minute black, you mean the most ancient and noble house of black?"

Melania" yes, do you know the black house?"

Before melody talked, Arcturus entered the room " Alexis is brought.." before he ended what he was saying, he saw the newcomers. When he saw melody, he dropped the book he was holding and said," me melody, you still alive I thought you dead in 1930. Your dad died from grieving."

Melody" Arcturus, what do you mean my father died before us? The assassins that attacked us said they killed him before coming to kill us."

Arcturus replied," melody, sorry to say they lied to you. Your father killed the assassins when he arrived at your home. He found it burned. He thought that his family all killed, which led to his depression and then to his early death in 1960."

Melody " no, no no no, NO NOOO! You are lying, my father died. I thought he died noo" she began to cry

John" calm down, mel, it ok you still have us, your family."

As John was calming her down, Arcturus continued

" your father, Edward, was a great man and lord. After his death, his brother's sons are fighting to get the lordships. After you return, you must claim your ladyship of the house of smith and Hufflepuff so that you can restore it to its old glory, and I know you can do it."

Melody" I can't. I lost my magic from grieving after my family died, so I lost my heirship, but it can go down to the first magical user from my descendent" as she was saying her last sentence, she smiled at Alexis

Alexis" wait a moment, I am your oldest wizard descendant, so I am also heir smith and Hufflepuff. Great, now I own half of Hogwarts."

"What, what do you mean half of Hogwarts? You an only heir of Hufflepuff?" Lucretia

Arcturus " sorry, daughter, I didn't mention it. Our family is the heirs of Ravenclaw."

Lucretia" ohh"

Ignatius" well, he isn't the heir of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff."

" what do you mean?" Arcturus and melody said at the same time

He replied," as you know, Prewett means brave or courageous, in 12 century we were hunted by dark wizards because of our name, so we changed it to Prewitt"

Alexis " what was your family name before you changed it?"

Ignatius smiles at both melody and Arcturus. Their eyes widen from shock

" our name was GRIFFINDORS, so you are not only Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, but you are also the heir of Gryffindor."

Alexis said worriedly, " great great, I have a lot of titles, F*** I don't want to be lord of many houses."

Arcturus replied," don't be worried. You are only heir of four Gryffindor houses changed their name, and black and Ravenclaw merged, and you can give one of your sisters a title, either smith or Hufflepuff, but I suggest smith so they would have less pressure on them from the public."

Alexis" yes, a good idea. I will give up the smith title to sofie, and any future title I get, I may give it to morgan( wink wink 😉)."

Arcturus " in the future, melody, Ignatius, and I will train you on your responsibility of the heirship of the three and the land you will inherit when you receive the title of lord of each house. Still, tomorrow we will begin. Now it is late; I will go to sleep."

" good night," they said all to each other, and they went to sleep
