Chapter 18- Ward detail
Title: Unlikely Heroes: Fallen feathers, mirrored scales
Pairing: Future DracoxHarry
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: A side fic with vignettes that should give insight into characters in my Unlikely Heroes story.
Notes: I know this title isn't as epic as that of StarlightxMassacre's Rise of the Dracken: The Scaled bits but I did my best. This is not quite a side fic but will show parts of the story that didn't make it into the main story line for whatever reasons. Hopefully this is answer questions or fill in gaps.
This side fic is dedicated to one of my favorite reviewers: Child of the sea96
A/N: this takes place just after Sirius I took the Tonks to his home at Grimpond. His home is sometimes called Grimpond Manor- it gets its name from the Blacks' former name Grimaldi. They were transplanted from France. It is sometimes called Black Manor as well so don't be too exasperated if I switch it up.
Chapter 18- Ward detail
December 2, 1994
Septimus and Bill had Apparated to the Eerie on Cairn Eerie. They stood on the edge of the property.
Septimus sotto voice was instructing his eldest grandson how to raise blood wards. As a Weasley he couldn't raise Prewett blood wards.
As a Weasley-Prewett Bill could.
Septimus cast a powerful ward that he'd recently added to his own residence Weasley Hall, one that was keyed to Dumbledore's magical signature and would forbid him from crossing the wards.
The two-man ward detail were planning a surprise.
The wards would be tightened to make sure that Dumbledore couldn't threaten them in their own property.
Cedrella was already choosing fabric for new curtains and paint to redecorate the Prewett home as a surprise for their eldest son and his soulmate. The house was to be scrubbed topped to bottom, the garden readied for spring and other things.
Septimus according to the new blood wards had to be escorted willingly by a blood Prewett.
They examined the house from top to bottom using photo charms.
The pictures would assist Cedrella in her redecorating.
The Manor had to be redone if only to remove the taint of it having been used as a prison.
After so long a separation Cedrella was very much loathed to have her eldest son and his children leave but she understood a couple in the honeymoon state of mind needing privacy. Thus her gift for the Winter solstice was the return of the home that was their right.
Septimus and William had been eager to assist her when summoned to her salon after breakfast.
William gave strict orders that all the Eerie's floos were to remained closed to anyone but a member of the Prewett family. That anyone who tried to bring Dumbledore here was to be Apparated straight to Weasley Hall. If the floos were closed to anywhere but Weasley Hall that would be best of all.
The Prewett elves were only too happy to abide by the eldest child of Lord Prewett.
They wrung their hands bowing and scraping as they apologized for their failure to do more for his bearer.
William forbade them from hurting themselves over it.
They bowed more and thanked him for his kindness.
Unused to house elf obeisance Bill was more then happy to go straight to Gringotts for work leaving his grandfather to take the pictures to his grandmother.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N:Sorry it's taken so long to update. I've got a summer internship that leaves me bone and brain weary when I arrive home between eleven and midnight. I hope you enjoy it.
