Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 23

Superman flew into the room and settled himself on the small recliner next to the couch. "Sorry I'm late girls. There was some trouble along the way."

Adriane smiled at him, "It's fine sir, were you hurt?" She got a concerned look on her face, which made Superman smile at her. "No, I'm okay. Not a scratch on me."

Lois handed over Supermans present to him with a smile, "Adriane got us each a christmas present, wasn't that nice of her?" Clark was surprised but nodded, "Adriane you know-" "I know but I wanted too, now hurry up and open it so I can explain!." Adriane was bouncing in her seat as if she was the one opening a present.

Clark laughed and unwrapped his present and was surprised to see a new cape. He felt it and was surprised to feel it seemed to be really good quality. "Adriane did you make this?" Adriane snorted.

"I wish! No, I commissioned the Goblins that run the magical banks to make this for you. It's charmed to never rip or tear, to be stain proof, and also to always come back to you if you happen to lose it. In the small chance that it does rip or get damaged then it's charmed to repair itself."

Clark stared down at his new cape shocked, "How." He coughed in his hand. "How much did this cost you?" Adriane just smiled at him, "Not much, the goblins like me so they didn't overcharge me like they would a lot of others."

"Overcharge?"

Nodding Adriane replied. "Yeah, most magicals treat the goblins rudely and openly insult them so to get a small bit of payback they overcharge for things they ask for. Goblin made things are some of the best out there so even overcharging the price is worth it in my eyes."

While Clark was silently wondering who would be stupid enough to openly insult and be rude to the people who handle your money, Lois was unwrapping her gift.

Lois held up her new pen confused but smiled. "I love it." Adriane laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't get you a plain pen, it's magical!" This made Lois look at the pen more interested than before, "Really? What does it do?"

"Well, It can write by itself without you needing to do anything, there's a special feature where if you push the button on the bottom of the pen three times then it will fly up to your notepad and start writing everything down. Don't worry because only those who know about the pen and what it can do beforehand will be able to see it floating like that, I also realized you would need a pad of paper for the pen that had that same charm so if you look at the bottom of the box you'll see it there, it's charmed to have unlimited pages."

"The pen will also change into a bright red when it's writing down a lie and then change back when the lie is over with. I figured it could help to have something like that as a reporter."

Lois was over the moon about her new pen, she never thought she would ever be so happy to receive a pen before. "Oh! I almost forgot, both are also charmed to be hard to destroy in anyway, they will also always come back if you happen to lose them. I know people lose pens a lot so I figured that charm was a must."

Lois laughed softly before agreeing and putting the pen back in the box. While the two girls had been talking Clark went to go try his new cape on and came back out. "This cape feels very nice, thank you Adriane."

Adriane blushed at being thanked, "You're welcome, I wanted to get you two something in thanks for listening to me. Not many people would do that." She mumbled that last bit while staring at the floor so she missed Clark and Lois sharing a dark look at the lack of care adults in her life had shown her so far.

Clark sat back down and gestured to Adriane, "You ready to continue your story?" Nodding, she took a deep breath, "Yeah I am."

"Okay, yesterday I finished telling you about my first year, now let's get into second year, or more specifically, the summer before second year."
