Harry Potter: Instant Kill

The ring was not wrong since as soon as it hit 7 am the next morning I was awoken by Mipsy, "Lord Erik, sir it is time for your etiquette lessons" Her little voice roused me from my slumber as well as her liberal use of shaking. "I am getting up now, Mipsy would you tell me Grandma that I will be along shortly? Which room will the lessons take place?" I yawn out as I get up from the soft bed and get changed into some nice daywear. "She is going to check your dining etiquette during breakfast and then lead you into the library for the next lesson."

Leaving the room I walk down the stairs, passing a bowing Kreacher and into the dining room where my grandmother, Walburga and Arcturus we already seated and waiting. "Thank you for waiting, shall we begin?" Receiving a nod from Lord black we start to eat the breakfast laid before us. "Erik dear, where did you get the lord ring from?" My gran asked when she finished the bite of food she placed in her mouth. "It was in the letter I received yesterday. Dumbledore said it was left in his care and was told to give it to me when we met." Giving a nod in understanding it was Lord Black's turn to speak as he said "We will have to go to Gringotts today to make you the official heir Black, while we are there would we need to do any shopping? Sasha has told us how you have started to use magic so is there any subject you would like to study before Hogwarts? Of course, you would not be allowed a wand legally but family wands passed down will work fine for wand movement practice."

"I will take you to Gringotts via side-long apparition Lord Bodewig and then we shall stop and buy the first-year materials and books. It is going to be a hard time for you with us teaching you potions, transfiguration, DADA, charms, astrology, rituals, dark arts, herbology, care of magical creatures, occlumency and duelling as well as physical training on the side are you sure this is what you want?" Arcturus asked for what seemed like the hundredth time, "Yes Lord Black I am certain and I am ready to go."

With a soft *pop* Lord Black and I arrived at a dingy-looking bar known as the Leaky Cauldron, ignoring the random people staring at us we made our way into the back of the bar where a brick wall stood. Passing through the entrance to Diagon Alley we made our way towards a white marble building with two goblin guards outside, they scrutinised Lord Black and me as we passed through the large wooden doors and into the hall beyond. "Why did that brat stink so much of death?" I heard a gruff voice from behind, 'Don't panic, they are speaking gobbledegook and you can understand them because of one of the gifts I gave you the gift of all speak. You can speak and understand all languages be they beast speak or Greek.' 

Ignoring the comment from the goblin I turned to Lord Black and asked "Lord Black do you know what that goblin meant by me smelling of death?" Seemingly startled by my understanding of the goblin language he took a moment to think of a reply before saying "I believe it is because of the aura you have around you, one of pure death as if you have killed 1000 people a day since the start of your life. The more bestial races like goblins, house elves and centaurs should be able to sense the danger your aura suggests and will act accordingly, the highly magically attuned wizards will also notice this aura."

While pondering what Lord Black said we reached the office of the goblin in charge of the Black vault, the banker seemed to cautiously look up until he met my gaze and then looked towards Lord Black asking "What is the business we will take care of today?"

"We will be transferring heirship over to Lord Bodewig as I am the last Black." The banker looked confused before lord black placed an old piece of parchment on the table. The goblin's confused look vanished as he read over the paper and then proceeded to say "That can be arranged, it will take about 30 minutes to set up the ritual would you like refreshments while you wait." 

"No, thank you we shall buy some materials while we wait." Lord Black replied as we got up to leave.

With the efficiency innate to German people we got our supplies and returned to the office as the ritual was ready. "We will need 5 drops of blood from both of you." The goblin said as he passed a knife to Lord Black. The ritual itself was quick to accomplish as we just dropped 5 drops of blood onto a piece of parchment and the goblin said a few words, after the ritual finished the heir Black ring appeared on my hand next to the Lord Bodewig ring. That is until they both merged into one with the lord ring taking precedents.

Concluding our business we apparated home to find lunch prepared so we sat and ate. "After lunch Erik your lessons will start, 3 a day for 1 hour. The first lesson today will be taught by Walburga and she will teach you potions as well as herbology for the lesson after, you will then have your last lesson with Lord Black who will teach you dark arts. You will be told the schedule for the day at breakfast is this alright with you?" My gran stated to me over the table. "Yes, grandmother that is good."
