Historia lay in her bed reading Hogwarts: A History.
Gryffindors,Ravenclaws,Hufflepuffs and Slytherins.I wonder what house I'll be in?
Her pet snake Onyx slithered around her arm hissing.Its tongue flicking her nose making her chuckle remembering her and Harry getting their pets from Magical Menagerie.
<<<<<<<<<<<Flashback<<<<<<<<<<<<
Harry,Historia,Hadrig and Toff walked into Magical Menagerie.
The two took in the sight of all the magical creatures.From owls,toads and cats.To small dragons,snakes and other creatures that seemed to glow or spit fire.
"Wow."They both said awed and scatted to see all the creatures.
"Historia look!"
Historia saw Harry pointing at a huge snail the size his head , its shell glowing slightly and really really slimy.
"Ew."She she scrunching up her nose with distaste.
Harry laughed but was cut off when a white owl landed on his head hooting in delight.
She smirked crossing her arms,"Looks like you found the creature right for you,but more like it found you."
Harry seemed to enjoy his creature.
A glint of a silver glass case caught her eye and immediately went to it.Inside she saw the most beautiful thing shes ever seen.A small male snake pure as night, eyes yellow as gold and it seemed to take and interested in her too.She picked it up and it immediately curled around her arm,and curled around her neck until it was snuggled pleasantly against her collar.
Historia smiled,"I'm gonna call you Onyx," petting his smooth scales as he hissed in delight of his new owner.
>>>>>And we're back>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
She chuckled at the memory.
Harry took an interest in him too,she snickered,but not his owl.
Harrys owl had screeched at Onyx at the sight of the snake when she had brought him up to show him.It was a sight to watch him hold her back while her and Onyx were watching with amusement, well at least Historia thought Onyx was amused from the snakes,she guessed, hissing sorta laugh. After words, Historia was thrilled to find out that they had the same birthday well maybe Harry was more thrilled then her from how he reacted it looked as is his face was going to spit because he was smiling so hard.
First time I've ever enjoyed myself,she sighed,it was nice.
"Mistress Moon?"
Historia peeked from under the book."Yes?"
"Master requests your presence."Toff said bowing.
Historia gulped,Uncles requesting me?
She pressed down her worry and immediately got up straightening her robes leaving a displeased snake and scared elf behind.
Walking down her Uncles wing of the Manor Historias hand were shaking and legs felt like jelly.Her head was spinning with all the reasons for his request for her.She stopped.Pushing every thought,every feeling until she felt clear and light. Historia put on her emotionless mask and about to knock on her Uncles office door only for it to swing open.Him sitting behind his desk.
"You requested me Uncle?" saying as if she wasn't scared as hell a second ago.
"Yes, sit down Historia."He said as she walked in the down slamming behind her.
Her heart skipped, but face stayed frozen.
Sitting down in front of her Uncle she waited for him to speak of her reason for being here.
"Did your trip to Diagon Alley go well?"Not making eye connect but continued writing in the paper work in front of him.
Making of face of complete surprise she quickly covered it up, folding her hands on her lap face blank.
"Yes,I had gotten all my supplies and a snake for Hogwarts."
"Tch,did you meet anyone?" He asked looking into her eyes,his own glinting in interest.
Did Toff tell him about Harry? she thought a cold sweat falling down the back of her neck.What if he ask to meet him. Harry's probably a Muggle born so it won't end well for either of us.What do I say?!
She silently gulp her mask firmly in place,"No sir,I did not."
He stared into her eyes if looking for something,but never did.
She mentally signed,Good.Guess he never spoke to Toff.
With a wave of his hand a box had appeared in front of her with a poff of smoke landing on her lap.
"Open it."He ordered and she did.
In it was a gold pen,just a pen. Historia looked a her Uncle confusion showing on her face.
He stood walking to the fire place and just stared into the flames back to her.Hands behind his back.
"On a Moons Eleventh birthday,"he began,"they are gifted a weapon of their masters choice."
He took out the sword the was hidden beneath his robes stabbing it into the ground the flames reflecting off the blade,"This sword was given to me by my Father on my eleventh birthday the same one his Father deemed worthy of giving him and passed it on to me.That pen Historia is not just a pen our weapons take a verity of forms and abilities if the user has great control of his magic."
He turned back to face her,"Click it."
Nodding she clicked it taking her by surprise as it transformed in her hand becoming a beautiful gold dagger.From what looked like ancient writing was carved into the hilt and blade.
"That," he said a sneer on his face,"was your Mothers before her death."
"But wh-"
He raised his hand causing her to shut her mouth a click of her jaw.
"For you are a Moon it is vital that you have a weapon.For I have enemies within Hogwarts walls and their target would be the Moons only heir,"he sighed returning his sword within his robes,"for the next week before you go to Hogwarts your training will become more challenging.You will be practicing channeling you magic through your weapon while fighting.I expect improvement,failure is not an option."
Looking into her hazel eyes with his fierce brown ones.She knew the punishment if she failed improvement.
"Yes,sir."Historia said bowing her head.
"Good you may leave."
She didn't hesitate to click the dagger the it changed back into a pen and head straight to the door but stopped.
"Uncle,"she turned slightly her eyes trained on the ground,"out of all the weapons you could have give me why would you give me my Mothers ?"
The silence from him was deafening making her instantly regret her question.Her hand began to shake against her control, she feared what was to come but what he said next surprised her.
"It was her last wish before she died."At those words the door slammed on face leaving her confused.
As she walked down the hallway back to her wing she held the box close to her chest as if it would fade away into dust.This was the only thing that had some sort of connection to her Mother, to her Parents. Her mother wanted this given to her on her Eleventh birthday before she died.
She felt tears form at the corner of her eyes, but they didn't fall.
Thank you Mom.
