Blood and Wine (Book 1)

Chapter 2

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"I'm sorry, what? A school for Witchcraft and Wizardry?" (Y/N) asked Dumbledore, looking confused about how something like this could possibly be real, magic was just something for fairy tales, like the Village of Shadows story... right?

"Oh, how gauche, what nonsense is this? Did you simply come here to try and play some fantastic scam on my Son?" Lady Dimitrescu asked Dumbledore, sounding unimpressed with the older man's words, giving him a haughty expression as well.

"I assure you, Lady Dimitrescu, this is fully serious... your Son has been selected to attend one of the few magical Schools in all the world, and Hogwarts is by far the most well known of them all" Dumbledore said to her in a wizened voice, as his eyes locked with Alcina's from across the Table.

"Surprising, considering I have never heard of such schools before" (Y/N) said as he folded the letter neatly and set it down on the Dining Room table, before he turned his attention back toward the Headmaster of the School.

"Tha'd make sense, wha' with 'em being schools for Magic an' all, can't be lettin' the Muggles know about 'em" said the large hairy man as he was standing close to his companions, since there weren't too many chairs around that were in his size.

"Muggles? Is that some slang term I'm unaware of?" (Y/N) asked sounding confused, he had heard quite a few insults that his Mother would hurl, but never heard of that word before.

"Muggle is the word used for non-magical people, the ones who are... normal, as they like to call themselves" said the man in the dark robes, as he kept his eyes on both (Y/N) and Lady Dimitrescu, eyeing them both cautiously from his seat to Dumbledore's left side.

"My, such nonsense words you spout... going so far to try and sell your lies to one of my children" Lady Dimitrescu scoffed, as she lit herself a cigarette and placed it in her smoking pipe, looking annoyed with this seemingly pointless conversation.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound as a swarm of large Flies came through the doors of the Kitchen and into the Dining Room, passing by the four guests who swatted at some of the Insects, before the swarm of Flies all gathered at a spot to Lady Dimitrescu's right hand side and changed into (Y/N)'s youngest sister, Daniela, much to the surprise of the four people visiting the Castle.

"Mother, Brother... are you still busy with your guests?" asked Daniela, the youngest of (Y/N)'s three sisters as she looked to her older sibling and Mother, while fidgeting with her hands.

"Aye, tha's new..." said the big man said as his eyes were wide in surprise at what they just saw, Snape also looked surprised, and Dumbledore seemed intrigued with this seeming new form of Magic.

"What kind of Magic was that?" asked the older woman as she looked at Daniela in surprise and concern, Daniela then turned to face them and smiled, showing her teeth through her bloody lips, the older woman gasped slightly at the fresh blood around the girl's mouth, while the man in black seemed to be preparing himself to face her if she attacked them.

"Daniela, it's rude to interrupt a meeting, even if it is a foolish one..." Lady Dimitrescu admonished her youngest Daughter sternly, making Daniela turn her attention back to her Mother.

"Sorry, Mother... I wanted big Brother to come and spend time with me in the Library" Daniela said with a soft pout, like a small child who had just been called out for their poor behaviour, (Y/N) leaned forward and smiled to his youngest Sister.

"Once this meeting is concluded, I shall spend time with you, dear Sister, for now, leave us to speak with our guests, if you would please?" (Y/N) said calmly to his younger Sister, who smiled at him before she walked a few steps away and then dispersed herself into her swarm to return to the Library and wait for (Y/N).
