System Alden - Harry Potter

Chapter 19 - Mysteriously handsome…

Everyone is different, don't let anyone say otherwise. Even tho. Many like-minded people are present in the world, there is still no denying the differences. You will not go anywhere if you see the world in black and white, even they have different shades; how does one decide who is good?? evil??. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer, cuz many-a-time's one's happiness is others sorrow. ( just take harry for an example)

-------

Skies were clear, not too sunny but warm, a perfect weather, if ones listened closely they could hear the happy chirping- two different colure birds happily playing together; if you look down you will see a young man holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers, he had air of elegance to him, every step was clear and steady.

Even though he was a sight to see, his surrounding gave a different picture, this by no means was a happy place; this was the proof- that everything comes to an end… eventually; many people have come to this place to relive the sorrow of losing someone.

The young man walked towards the grave name ' Isabella Jade Avery' intriguing thing was she had her mother's late family' name as her surname. The boy had cleaned the grave with just snap of the fingers- when he was satisfied, bend down and put the bouquet on the grave, and sat beside it, looking at the clear blue sky, his eye' showed calmness. They were no words no noises, it was just him, and his mother Bella's grave. Even tho. She was practically a stranger, still, he held a sense of respect- or just a weird bond with her.

After sitting there for 15 min or so, he got up- and looked at the grave one more time before leaving, but still, he didn't say much other than- " bye mother Bella, I'll come again ".

On the way back, he whistles and the birds came flying down and sat on each shoulder, together they looked like mesmerizing painting. the blue one was called 'Deeann' ( divine ). And red one 'Oswell' ( divine, majestic). A name they both very much liked.

Today was the day, he left for Hogwarts, one of the reasons he came to give his respects. While walking towards the entrance he shot a glance at his wand. Obtaining one was an adventure of its own- he could only shake his head, remembering what he went through.

*Flashback*

In a big mansion, we see the same boy sitting in the pile of books, at first it was just for common knowledge, but it sparked his interest. So he went through books after books on the same topic ' wandlore ' not letting the fire die down. Only words that came out were 'complex and mysterious'; after reading all the books, he was more excited to have one. Each object used while making a wand had his own meaning and uses.

Every step was important; from Wand wood, Magic cores to its length. He already knew one of the core he was gonna use, his familiar's feathers- it will not only be strong but have more affinity with him. There were not many records in which more than two cores were used- as he plans to use more ( to make a strong foundation ) and he highly doubts that one core will suffice.

While he was reading, Alden had suggested him to use 'Thestral' and 'Unicorn' blood for ' yin yang ' energy. ( what's with everything blood?? ) His question was answered- Blood is highly rich in Magic energy ( queer ). Well all good so far; but here was the catch, he can't use unicorn blood without permission from them- they have to willingly give him some otherwise he will get cursed ( and everyone knows we don't want that !)

This resulted in him to go around the different forest- and make both thestral and unicorn willingly give him the blood, it turns out it was not as hard as he thought ( his natural beasts amor, even made unicorn who hate males to like him ). He not only took their blood but also their hair ( just in case ).

The journey was short-lived as he had to proceed to the next step- Magic cores were done, next was the wood, this he was not sure of. He had read enough to know that wands have their unique personality- which is contributed by the material used; cores were one thing but wood- needed more thinking.

He had few in mind- for example ' Acacia ' ( it matches any for power ) or 'Aspen' ( destine duelist ) and so on- he didn't know which will suit him the best. After pondering for a while he thought it was best to follow his instincts.

Even tho. He had read about the topic that doesn't mean, he'll be able to make one, so ofcuz he had to find someone, he can't go to Ollivander's with unicorn blood, now can he. Thus another journey to find a wandmaker began.

-------------

Location: Knockturn Alley

Possibility to find a good wandmaker here is low, even then it's worth a shot, if not then Ollivander's it is.

Morphing into a random stranger while wearing a black cloak he entered the dark alleyway, there was barely any light coming from the store present, and oh! The smell! With his s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e nose, it was a nightmare- that is if he didn't know magic, even then he wished he had done that before entering, he could still feel like he can smell it !!.

Well moving on… he kept thinking- that he wanted a wand, and walked randomly ( don't take him for an idiot, it's a magic world- anything can happen *also plot armour is with him*). After walking for a while- he finally found one. Reaching for a closer look, it was a normal door but after entering he felt like he was in different place entirely, to make sure his eye' were not plying tricks, he went back out- found himself in darkness, going back in he met with bright light ( not that bright more like cosy, just in comparison it looked bright ).

" Are you done?? " a firm voice brought him back, but he freaked out inside, as for why- he didn't even sense the man in the room, likely apparition or some kind of superpower.

" if done then, you can come inside " simply nodding he entered the shop, there were no wands on display, it looked like a living room more than a store, the only difference was that there was a counter, and the man was standing behind it.

He looked like a man in late '20s, with pitch-black hair and red shiny eyes, he was also well built ( most likely physically active ). Although Noah has come to reason- on never comparing age with looks. After observing for a while he went straight for business.

" I'll like to have a personalized wand," said with the same firm voice as him.

The man raised his left eyebrow, amus.e.m.e.nt was clearly seen on his face. He spoke with Noah in a playful voice. " are you sure, my service doesn't come cheap, and however you'll try to hide, you are clearly much younger than you look, there is no deceiving this eye' " as he said that, he pointed his finger towards his eye'; golden runes were circling in them- clearly high-level stuff. ( this here is an example of being Jack of all trades, you'll try to be on the same level in everything before proceeding to the next stage, that will make you seems weaker infront of an expert, but I am confidante that I am atleast master level in morphing )

" you say that but you are clearly having a hard time- knowing my exact age " he replied to with same playfulness, and it did do the trick- man's smile disappeared and he become serious.

" Even then change back, it's in my code to know the real identities of my buyers," he said with a serious face.

*Cheshire cat smile*

" Now, now no need to be serious. But… I can't just show myself can I now "clearly having a good time messing with him, but he'll not take it far as he is in the need- and the man looks powerful, it will be a hard battle.

even though his powers sound op, in all seriousness needed lot of practice day in and day out, just to use them, it's not like he can use them just after having them- he needed over a year before he was able to, sounds like a lot of cool powers- but in reality, needs great amount of concentration, and repeated failures to have one success; he can still remember when he tried using directional lordship- it was disastrous! Alden had to forcefully shut the connection- as he was feeling everything from the west ( when he say everything it means everything, from a drop of water to bloodl.u.s.t ) his brain got high-wired; if his system was not there with him, then.. he would have definitely died and said to the world bye-bye.

This was when he become extra careful using his powers so that he didn't harm himself or someone else.

Being able to manipulate an entire direction feels awesome to hear, but practically very hard to manage- it was all baby steps. One has to understand a certain thing, on a fundamental level to even be able to manipulate it.

Well coming back to the topic on hand- the owner had narrowed his eyes and looked at me ' why is everyone creepy'

[ host concentrate ]

' ya, ya'

" it's not like I am saying I won't show my real identity, it's just I don't want anyone knowing what kind of wand I am gonna have you create and believe me when I say it may bring you hardship… if someone found out my wand was created by you " said in a playful voice

"In all seriousness, I don't want anyone knowing, makeup of my wand "he continued in a stronger voice, owner seemed to be thinking ( now I would have used my hypnosis, but I didn't. reasons- there is no need to use it every time and second, I don't know the strength behind his golden runes ) although no one said I can't use [ Guilt ]

"Is that unreasonable? " even tho. It looks like the voice hasn't changed, it has completed its purpose.

*Ahem* "no its perfectly fine and reasonable " owner replied little fl.u.s.tered.

Finally getting down to the business I made him take a magical vow- which he did. And I morph back, he was surprised yet still suspicious-" I am eleven, don't think so hard, I have taken good care of my body, hence, more developed " seeing him nod in understanding, I continued- " so should we start?" he nodded and made me follow him.

Entering the bas.e.m.e.nt, he found it filled with, various materials-' ah! So this is where the magic happens' he thought while looking at full shelf's.

" so all you have to do is walk towards the centre, and try to concentrate, let the magic flow, and pick the item you feel drown to" the owner explained.

But before doing what he told me to do, I took out the materials that I needed to add-" I have few cores, I'll like to add in my wand " before I can continue, owner emphasize the word "cores", and I confirmed his doubts.

Taking out the two feathers, I put them on the table nearby- I have already gotten an extension pouch to keep up the appearance; looking at the blue feather he was intrigued, and trying to guess, what kind it was- on closer look his eye' almost popped out. He looked at me with mouth agape, but in just few sec's I could literally see fire in his eyes, they were screaming 'excitement'.

Next up the list were 'Thestral' and 'Unicorn' blood and hair, at this point owner almost had a heart attack " are.. are you sure on using unicorn's blood??" no one can mistake a unicorn's blood, it's said to be one of the kind- it glows is unnatural, anyone can identify it as if instincts. I merely nodded and was ready to take out the last core- ' veela ' hair ( yes it's my hair when I am in veela mode, and I thought it was an interesting addition ) after so many surprises he found veela hair "normal".

After Noah was done, he walked towards the centre, and took a deep breath- and let the room cover in his magic; he was mostly attracted to the table he kept his stuff at ( reasonable as he had a connection with them ) moving his attention he tried focusing on other things in the room- walking and going through them, he picked up ten things ( which to him also felt a lot ) slowly putting them down on the table, he looked at the calm owner ( whose name he still doesn't know ).

" well it's not a surprise after the stuff you brought, well let's start will most attractive one" he picked it was silver-white piece, which is known as "silver lime".

"it's most unusual for wizards to have this, as its mainly attracted towards wizards those are seers or are highly skilled in legilimency and even some mysterious arts "

He then picked up a golden-toned wood- " this is pearwood, it's one of the well-respected wood, as it is splendid when it comes to magical powers, and generally seen in hands of warm-hearted, generous and the wise. Also durable, even after 50 years your wand will look good as new "

Placing it back down he picked up the next one-" Now this is Applewood, one with great personal charm, with aims and ideals are a good match with it …." Trailing off he remembered something "ah! It's also said that people with unusual ability to converse with other magical beings in their native tongues have this wood "

' haha, you don't say ' amused at his description.

" Now this Yew, also on rare side, said to give its possessor powers of life and death, it'll go along with blood's we'll be using "-" has a reputation in duelling, often looked as on the darker side, as people who mostly use it are attracted to dark arts, but also proven equally a fierce protector, often referred as guardian of the grave" maybe I gave him a weird look so he explained to me why " it sprouts into tree if buried with owner " nodding in understanding I let him proceed.

" on to the next- English Oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity. Also often lean towards wizards who have powerful intuition. The wand has a natural affinity with creatures and plants, it's named- ' King of the forest '; Merlin is rumoured to have this wood, but we never found his wand so was never confirm " shaking his head slightly.

' come to think of it, it was not in the vaults or the ring, the only unusual thing I found was a huge book- which is real stubborn refuses to open.'-' well whatever all in due time '.

" This is Cedar, often found in hands of the strength of character and unusual loyalty; it's said one can never fool cedar carrier, not many are able to cross the one with this wood; it has great potential," he said with a slight nod. This one got me more interested.

" just a few more- Beech, often find a true match in young, wise beyond their years, in their later years a rich understanding and experience are seen; it will never be in hands of a narrow-minded and intolerant."-"it has subtle artistry rarely seen in other woods "

" willow- uncommon wand wood with high healing powers, well-founded reputation for advance non-verbal magic, selects wizards who have the greatest potential- the user may have some insecurities " Noah raised an eyebrow on that and wonder if he has any?

" last wood on the list is- Ebony a jet-black wood, suited to all manner of combative magic and transfiguration. Happiest in hands of those who have the courage to be themselves "-" user are said to hold their position and they never sway easily "

" truly remarkable lineup you got yourself, it will be hard to not let them lose their quirk- but successful then, the new wand will be monstrous in potential " looking very pleased with the materials.

"let's see the core you picked up with the woods- Horned serpent horn, a wand made by this is highly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to Parseltongue, vibrates when spoken"-" known to warn the user of danger by emitting a low musical tone, only truly blossoms in hands of parseltongue," he said thoughtfully.

" As for the cores' you brought, starting from phoenix feathers- they are capable of the greatest range of magic. They are really picky tho. These are hardest to tame"-" although I am not quite sure about the blue one, as I have never seen one in my entire life- they may or may not be similar, it'll depend on the nature of the bird "

" Now on to Thestral tail hair, it's kind of most unstable substance to use, even more than veela hair you got here, known for being in elder wand; you're lucky that I have seen death- or you had to forget ever using it for your wand "

" Next, unicorn hair- consistent magic and has a strong bond to their user, one will have a hard time using it for dark arts "-" and finally the veela hair, very temperamental- mostly hands of a stranger, if a veela had wizard descendant they won't show much of it; magically powerful"

'So I won't be having many problems, as it's my hair ' thought after listening

" Well, Mr…. "

" oh, we haven't introduced ourselves have we, lord of eight most ancient and noble household "Noah Avery Azkaban Black Jade Lovelace Matthiola Merlin Moonstone Taylor" Noah Taylor for short, nice to meet you " his eye' widened from the shock, but soon calmed down.

" Vlad Dracula, nice to meet you um Mr. …Taylor" he said with uncertainty

" Sorry if I am too straight forward, are you a vampire ?" Noah asked shamelessly

" haha No it's fine, yes I am " replied amused.

" I see, you can do it then"-" do what Mr. Taylor," asked visibly more relaxed.

" As we discussed, most of the cores and wood has a certain unstableness, I don't think a normal wandmaker can carry the burden of so many core's and woods, as I have hardly read about wand having more than two cores " replied a little troubled, he may able to willed it, but the big trouble is if the wand truly be created.

As if sensing his trouble, Vlad said " if one lives a long life such as myself, they'll be exceptions- and those exceptions, won't want to get unwanted attention, such as yourself. I have dealt with upto four cores before, so I have confidence, it will be successful- and with both blood you have, it will make my work fairly easy, as they seem to have high magic energy. Higher magic energy I have the easier it will become; that aside ain't you afraid of unicorns cures ?"

" Ah! That...She gave it to me willingly.." scratching his head in embarrassment.

" boy are you sure your human …. You have given me, so many surprises in a day, that I haven't in my whole life, " Vlad said exhausted.

" well let's get started, you should wait upstairs' " saying that he stared getting ready.

" um… the last thing, you'll have to use my blood too " Noah said slowly, vald just looked at him, for a while and nodded, while bringing a bowl out, also wearing an enchanted mask.

" you look powerful, meaning blood will be highly nutritious, it will be too tempting " he cleared my doubts even before asking, if I was not master at occlumency, I'll think he was reading my mind, wait …is he ??

" are you reading, my mind…?" he was little dumbfounded but still replied after few secs.

" No it just an obvious question towards my actions " nodding, I just poured my blood in the bowl, waited till it was almost full after I was done I healed my wrist; I like how Vlad doesn't ask too many questions, maybe because of living so long, he understands something's are better left unsaid. Nodding I exited from the room but not forgetting to tell Alden to monitor him for anything funny.

Time passed while I waited, it took a lot of time, as any mistake would waste a lot of materials, suddenly heard a loud bang and saw Vlad coming over- " 14' " while passing me extremely attractive wand, base was flat, with thickness, it had red lava colour towards the base, slowly turning jet-black ( it was shining ); last few inch's were silvery-white, whole wand had elegant blue patter on the wand- when I poured some magic in it, felt like a missing puzzle piece was found- I felt a surge of energy. It was perfect.

Buying a holder and paying up, he chatted with vlad for a while- and then went back

' another long day ' his last thoughts on the way
