Reaper Of The Wizarding World

I eventually go downstairs to help Uncle Ted cook dinner. Harry and Ron stay in my room playing Super Mario Cart while I'm gone. Ron turned out to be way better at Mario Cart than at Zelda. By the time I get back, they both have practice and I can't catch a break.

The next morning I awaken before everyone else to a cold chill on my neck. I immediately get up and head outside as this is the signal I told my dementors to use to notify me of danger.

As I sneak past Harry and Ron I close the door softly as I check my surroundings and shift into my dementor form. I phase through the wall and head to two dementors floating above the house waiting.

I notice there is an unconscious house-elf being held by the bigger dementor. I look over at the bigger dementor.

'Did you feast?' My dry voice echo's out.

It shakes its head no understanding my words. This surprises me a tiny bit since they never really responded before. They just did as they were told.

'Give it to me' The dementor lowers it's head and hands over the house-elf as if it were a sack of potatoes.

I wave them off with a hand 'Continue your jobs, I will deal with this.'

As my words the two fly back to their hiding spots. I look at the house-elf with a scrupulous gaze as I carry him into the forest past Luar's pen. I land in an opening and shift back to human as I toss the elf towards a tree.

My shadow turns to fog as it wraps around the elf holding him against the tree. The elf's eyes snap open from the force of hitting the tree.

"Master Black?" The elf questions with wide eyes.

"Tell me elf, who sent you to harm my family?" I say with cold eyes staring through him.

"H-harm? Dobby would never. Dobby is a good elf." He stutters out with fear on his face.

"Then why are you here? You are not masterless that is for sure. So what are you up to?" I point my wand towards the elf as I step closer.

He looks panicked "D-dobby was…"

"Speak," I say as I press my wand up to the elf's neck.

"Dobby wants to keep Harry Potter safe." His ears fall as he speaks.

My eyebrows furrow "Are you the one who has been targeting Harry and stealing his letters?"

Dobby looks away "Dobby thought if Harry Potter thought his friends abandoned him he wouldn't go back to Hogwarts."

"Why can't Harry go back to Hogwarts?" I ask pulling my wand away.

"It's not safe for Harry Potter." The elf says with genuine concern.

"Yes, I get that. But why?" I ask sternly.

Dobby looks away again "Master said not to tell anyone."

I nod no matter how much he wants to tell me an elf will not betray their master. "Who is your master?"

Dobby fidgets a little "Dobby serves the Malfoy family."

I nod slowly anger written on my face. "And why do you want to help Harry?" I release Dobby from my shroud now that I feel he is trustworthy.

"Because Dobby knows who Master serves." Dobby looks both sad and angry as he speaks.

"Who is that?" I ask already knowing the answer.

Dobby's small hands ball into fists as he answers through grit teeth "Dobby cannot answer."

I nod "As expected. You should leave. No one can touch Harry as long as I'm around and Dumbledore wouldn't slack off either."

"But Master Black, Harry Po-" He is cut off by my cold voice.

"I SAID LEAVE," I say in a commanding and slightly angry voice.

The elf snaps his fingers and vanishes. I stand there for a second rubbing my temples.

'Why did I get mad at the elf? He was only trying to help.' I sigh.

"F.u.c.k.i.n.g hell… on my Birthday as well." I speak to myself as I head back to the house.

I realize on the way back that I've been in pajamas this whole time. I roll my eyes as I walk inside quietly and pour myself some tea. I've learned to enjoy the dirt water after being in England for so long.

I decide to just stay up since the sun will rise soon. I start to prepare breakfast for everyone since it's almost time for Auntie and Uncle to wake up. I decide to make them a full American experience.

Not to brag but I'm pretty good at making breakfast since I made it every single day in my past life. I prepare 3 skillets, a pot, and a baking pan. We don't have any gravy so I have to make it myself.

I make bacon, eggs, pancakes, with biscuits and gravy using hickory-smoked sausage. I must have made too much noise because Auntie and Uncle came out in their pj's. The second they saw me setting the table I felt a chill down my spine. I turn to see Auntie giving me a killing glare.

"Soren, it's your birthday, you are supposed to let me cook for you. Not the other way round." She looks angry but you can tell she is kind of kidding.

Uncle Ted looks happy looking at the table. "You know I haven't had an American breakfast since I had a business trip in the '70s."

I smile "Glad to help spread the best thing about America."

Auntie smiles "What? Food?"

I chuckle "No. My cooking."

Uncle Ted laughs while Auntie just rolls her eyes. I finish setting up the table and look up at them.

"I'll go get Ron and Harry. Does either one of you want to volunteer to wake up Sis?" I give a wry smile as neither of them wants to.

Uncle Ted gets up "How about I get your friends and you can go get your sister. She won't hit you as hard anyway."

I roll my eyes as I start heading to Sis Dora's room. As I reach her room I knock a few times to no response.

I sigh "Won't be that easy huh."

I slowly begin to open the door "I'm coming in." I notice her room is a lot cleaner than usual.

She slowly opens her eyes and glares at me. "You are lucky it's your birthday."

I smile "Hurry up downstairs, I made an American style breakfast for everyone. You don't want the pancakes to get cold now do you?"

I see her smile at the mention of food. "You make a tempting offer. Get out, I'll get dressed then head down."

I nod as I walk out into the hallway and lock on to the tired faces of Harry and Ron. I smile at their zombie-like walk towards the stairs.

I walk up to them and smack their backs. "What is with the long faces on such a nice morning."

Harry groans but Ron speaks up "Are you mental? The sun isn't even up yet."

I laugh at his misfortune "Don't worry I made breakfast so you know it's good."

Harry looks surprised "You made breakfast?"

I nod as we make our way down the stairs. "I'm pretty good at it too, if I do say so myself."

Ron groans "How are you so awake? You went to sleep AFTER us."

I shrug as we get to the dining room to see Auntie already laid out the food for everyone. I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited for biscuits and gravy. I do wonder what English people call it since their biscuits are very different from mine.

Auntie notices us and immediately asks "Where is Nymphadora?"

Before I can answer I hear a call from behind us on the stairs "I said don't call me by that name!"

Auntie smiles "There she is. Come sit down boys."

Uncle Ted is already sitting at the end of the table reading the paper. I don't think he was actually reading though since he was taking peeks at the food every so often.

After everyone sat down we started eating. I have never been one big on compliments but after we finished eating I had enough for the year. Although they didn't like the look of the biscuits and gravy they loved the taste. Being an American it doesn't look odd to me but I'm sure it looks like vomit on a plate to them.

After that, we brought the Wizards chess board downstairs and did a small tournament. Auntie, Dora, and I got eliminated immediately. Uncle Ted and Harry had some good games but Uncle Ted ended up winning. The games with Uncle Ted against Ron, however, went on forever.

It really wasn't the best idea to do a best of 3, win by 2 rule. It ended up going over an hour ending 7-5 in favor of Uncle Ted. Apparently in Hogwarts Uncle Ted had made a Chess club and was the captain for 4 years.

After the tournament, we heard a knock on the door. I opened it since I wanted to greet everyone first. When I open it I see Hermione standing next to two VERY normal-looking people.

I smile "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Granger. It is great to finally meet you." I shake both of their hands.

Mr. Granger smiles "Hermione told me you were a m.a.t.u.r.e young lad but it seems she was underselling it."

I gesture inside "Please come in. Our home is mostly muggle so you don't have to worry about accidentally touching magical objects."

They both come in and everyone starts to exchange greetings. Hermione hands me a wrapped gift.

She smiles "Happy Birthday Soren" I take the gift.

"Thanks," I say a bit awkwardly.

I go and put the present away while Hermione says hi to the others. When I come back out my three friends are on the couch talking while watching Mr. Granger and Uncle Ted play chess.

I sit down next to Ron on the end and ask Hermione. "Why are they playing chess? What did I miss?"

Hermione rolls her eyes. "My father happened to mention he was in the chess club for 6 years in Secondary School."

"Ah, that makes sense, a.d.u.l.t men don't really age past 16 really, they just get better at hiding the immaturity." I laugh a bit.

Hermione rolls her eyes "Boys."

Harry speaks up "Hey, it's not our fault you don't talk to the girls."

"Ah! I remember now. Daphne Greengrass is supposed to come today as well. Maybe you can be friends with her. "

Hermione scoffs "Not possible, she is a Slytherin. "

I gasp "I take offense to that, the hat wanted to put me into Slytherin."

Ron and Hermione look at me with wide eyes but Harry speaks up "Me as well. The hat said I would fit in well there."

I nod "Slytherin isn't bad, but the stigma they get must suck."

Ron huffs "No good wizard comes out of Slytherin."

I chuckle a bit at his assertion "You know Merlin was a Slytherin. He is said to be the best wizard to live ever on this side of the world."

Hermione looks surprised "I didn't know that."

"It's not covered much in History of Magic. You would have to out of your way to read it." I shrug.

"Then how did you find it?" Ron asks.

I shrug again "I read for fun."

Hermione looks like she wants to say something but is stopped by a knock at the door. "I'll get it," I tell Auntie.

I open the door to see a beautiful girl with blond hair and green eyes standing there looking a bit scared. Next to her is a female house-elf who has a stuck-up aura a lot like Kreacher.

I smile "Hey Daphne, we were just talking about you."

She flinches and bows "The Greengrass family greets Lord Black."

I roll my eyes and tap the back of her head "Girl I didn't help you study so your family would try to dig their way into my pockets. Get up let's go make you some friends."

"Leila, wait for me to call you," she says to the house-elf. The elf looks at me then back to her nods then vanishes in a snap.

I put my hand on her back as I guide her in "You know if you wanted to grow a connection between our families your father should have come as well. Also, we are like 2nd cousins, don't be weird."

She blushes hard "Father couldn't make it today."

I roll my eyes "Sure, let me introduce you all."

I lead her in front of the group. "Ron, Harry, Hermione, this is Daphne Greengrass. Daphne, the red one is Ron, the scrawny one is Harry, and the one with the ever curly hair is Hermione."

Daphne lowers her head a bit "It's nice to meet you all. As well as Lord Potter."

Harry looks confused and I roll my eyes. "We don't use titles here."

Harry looks at me still confused "I'm a Lord?"

"Yeah, I thought Hagrid explained everything to you," I say a little annoyed at his lack of information.

He shakes his head "Not that much. All I know is that my family was rich and pretty famous."

Daphne gasps "I'm so sorry, I forgot the savior was raised by muggles."

Harry smiles "It's fine, I still have a lot to learn."

Ron still hasn't said anything and appears to be pouting. I find it funny so I won't be interrupting him.

Auntie walks up behind me and grabs my shoulders. "So young yet already bringing home women. What are you doing at Hogwarts anyway."

I see Daphne blush and Hermione looks a bit fl.u.s.tered. Daphe does a curtsey "It's nice to meet you I am Daphne Greengrass of the Greengrass family."

Auntie smiles "I like her, she is cute. Good job Soren." This time I blush alongside her.

I slip out of her grip as I walk to the backdoor. "How about we go play with Luar out back."

They look excited even Ron, but Daphne looks confused. "Ah right, you haven't met her. Luar is my unicorn." I say with a wide smile.

Her eyes go wide "The rumors were true?!" She nearly yells.

I grin "Let's go."

We all jog out back to see Luar in her pen bathing in the afternoon sunlight. Luar notices us and gets up obviously excited to see me. We get inside the pen and she immediately starts snuggling her head into me making me chuckle.

Daphne walks up to Luar. "May I pet her?" she looks to me for permission.

I look at Luar knowing she heard her. Luar nods and lowers her head to Daphne letting her pet her. She lets out a girlish squeal as she pets Luar's nose.

Hermione also walks up and strokes her mane. Harry just stands next to me and Ron stands a few feet back mumbling.

"Won't even let me pet her but the new girl can? Inequality I tell you." I smile at his mumbling.

I sit back and watch the girls pet Luar who is very happy about the attention she is getting. I see Shy land on top of the stable as a package falls from him into my arms.

It's labeled "From the Malfoy family to Young Lord Black" I roll my eyes, I should wait to open it since I don't want another letting bursting into fire in front of everyone.

After a while, Harry walks up and Luar lets him gently pet her, she even lets Ron get close to her. She must be in a good mood from all the attention.
