The Nguruvilu

Letters and Mates?

The first owl was light brown and small and the second one was an umbra owl. The umbra owl must have shadow traveled to our house. I walked over to the window the owls were resting on, I pulled the window open as the owls flew in and landed on my arm and shoulder, the umbra owl on my arm and the barn owl on my shoulder. I gently untied the ribbon from the umbra owl's letter and gestured for him to go to my other shoulder. He silently flew over. The other owl hopped onto my arm, I reached over and grabbed the other letter from its place on the owl's leg. Both owls flew off after I took their letters. 

The one from the umbra owl read Astralia and the other read Hogwarts. Dad reached over and took the one that said Hogwarts and immediately tore it to pieces. 

"What was that for Dad?!?" I snapped in surprise. 

"That infernal school is the worst place you want to go," Uncle Sev retorted. "We both went there and it was the biggest mistakes we ever made in our whole life. The most manipulative old goat is the Headmaster of that school and you would no doubt end up falling into his tramps and mind games. He is the true dark wizard." 

"We are saving you form a very bad fate, he also hates all magical creatures and will not hesitate to kill any he finds," Dad added. "This school," he gestured at the other letter. "Is for magical creatures only and accepts any who are creatures." 

"So I can be trained and surrounded by other creatures, instead of witches and wizards." I asked, trying to contain my excitement. Like any proper pure-blood. 

"Yes and..." Uncle Sev said, him and Dad met eyes for a second. "You might even find your mate there." 

"My what?" I could tell this was something that was important, but I would not be a fan of it. 

"Your mate is your true and only love," Dad responded. 

"If you are rejected by your mate you die within the next 24 hours, most people only ever have one mate and that is there one and only love," Uncle Sev elaborated. 

"What happens if I don't find my mate? What if I can't find them?" I asked, almost afraid of what the answer was. 

"Your mate will have the most enticing smell you could imagine, you will both be drawn to each other," Dad said. "Now we have to see if we can get your legs back for a while." Sigh, here we go.

~Time skip by YOU NEED TO SLEEP SO DO IT~

Knockturn Alley was the only place you could go that supported magical creatures and their shopping. This also was the only place we could get the school supplies for Astralia. 

We needed - School uniform (that you could wear in your creature form), a winter cloak, a potions set, a standard cauldron, Hydra scale gloves, telescope, A Creatures Guide to History by Shale Nightmare, True Form Unlocking by Austin Coil, Incantations and Magic by Sequoia Albatross, Transformation and Transfiguration by Exie Borealis, Herbs, Fungi and the Like by Gale Griffis, A Guide to Potions and Elixirs by Lou Silverthorn, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander, Dark Magic; a Guide to Harnessing and Protection by Harper Medlar. 

Our first stop was to get a school uniform, Dark Cloaks and Robes. The shop look dark and creepy, but the inside was cozy and cool at the same time. The lady who owned the shop seemed to be a banshee and directed me to the stand in the front of the store. 

"Can you please turn into your natural form, so I can fit your Robes to it," she said in a very calm and soft voice. Dad had given me a book on magical humanoids and creatures, banshees have to speak softly to not attack people with their voices. 

I stood on the platform and transform into my hybrid form. I wobbled slightly due to my tail, but spread my wings to keep balance. She began fitting me for multiple different lengths. As she was finishing the door opened and a person or creature entered, most of the time it was very hard to tell. It's always safer to assume their a creature around hear. 

The creature appeared to be around my age, he was shorter than I was, but then again I was very tall for my age. He had short blood red hair, that looked very smooth, and glowing yellow eyes. He was in his creature from the moment the door closed. He was a fake King of Snakes, a Basilisk. He had red scales on his tail and on his face and arms. And fangs. His eyes appeared to be glazed over slightly, this was so he wouldn't turn anything to stone. 

"Please wait, feel free to explore the store," The banshee said softly. The basilisk walked around and as she finished my measurements she walked off to get the supplies. 

"I'm Necu Firststalker, I'm guessing that you are going to Astralia as well?" Necu asked in a smooth voice, that radiated pure-blood edicate.  

"I am," I replied in the usual montone, voice I used. "I'm Loki Riddle, by the way." 

"It's nice to meet, may I ask what creature you are?" he asked. 

"A Quetzalcoatl and Nguruvilu hybrid, A true King of Snakes," I replied with confident smirk. 

He glared at me. "I am a Basilisk, the only King of Snakes. Not some hybrid like." Necu snarled. 

"How dare you!" I yelled, We both rose up, I flared my wings as we both grew in size. Snake creatures have a larger form that can be huge sizes. Quetzalcoatl's are the largest of the snake creatures. We both began snarling and hissing at each other, prepared to battle. 

"Boys!" The banshee yelped, when battle focused on another creature, they aren't very affected by their surroundings. "Calm down or take it out ide!" 

I was the  first to react and shank back to normal size, "I am so sorry Ma'am for disrupting your shop," I replied, composed. 

"As am I, I apologize deeply for my behavior," Necu said. Slimy snake. 

"Now here are your robes, Mr. Riddle." She said as she handed me a package. 

"Thank you," I said as I walked out. 

As I was walking out Dad met with the rest of what I needed, there was only one thing left, a wand
