The Twins Riddle - English version

Chapter 4: Thomas' First Magic

October 31, 1888,
All the servants at the manor are in a frenzy about the big Halloween ball.
Unlike the Christmas party, Halloween is one evening a year, so for reasons of
Time are forced to mix with muggles.
Because they can't organize two dances.
Wizarding families are aware that Blake is still a Lord of the realm, and carries many obligations even in the Muggle world, so for once a year they all grit their teeth and mingle with Muggle society.
To help this indulgence is thanks to Catrine, because the parties she organizes are always the most sumptuous and elegant. In fact Catrine and Ratthigan are decorating the ballroom. Of course with the help of magic and it's one of the rare times that Ratthigan isn't Blake's shadow.
Catrine took advantage of it, curious about the future of the twins, with an imperial tone she asked Ratthigan if he knew anything: "Ratthigan, by chance do you know if Blake wants to organize something for the twins for the arrival of the letter of admission to Hogwarts?" Ratthigan very embarrassed because he was forced to lie to his old friend said to him: "Catrine, we haven't had a chance to talk about this yet" Catrine replied "Are you sure? Don't kid me, Blake is meticulous, organised, these are just two qualities that immediately fascinated me!" Ratthigan steadfastly stood by his convictions, he was saved by Igor the house elf of the Riddle house.
Who entered addressing Catrine with a tone of reverence Igor: "My lady, the ostler asks if he should make more room for the guests' carriages as there are also muggles at tonight's party" Rattighan: "Of course yes! We can't use magic what questions does it ask! I go and hear me, with your permission my Lady".
Ratthigan exit was actually an opportunity to exit the pressing conversation with Catrine, Because Blake is very disappointed with his son Thomas who still hasn't expressed any signs of magic.
Already for a family of ordinary wizards having a nomag son is considered a shame, for a family of noble purebloods like that of the Riddles it would be considered a real disgrace. Nomags in the wizarding world are despised even more than muggles. In fact Blake is at Malfoy manor, playing a game of poker, in that game there is the Minister of Magic Spavin, Blake, Septimus Malfoy and Alphard Black.
Septimus and Blake are very good friends, and between hands they talk about their children, as soon as Thomas is mentioned, Blake goes white with nervousness.
He replied: "Thomas? Thats a disappointment all round, attends Ominis Gaunt"
Alphard: "The only thing that saves the Gaunts is their integrity on the purity of the Blood, I see!"
Blake: "You may well tell...however not only is he always attached to this, but he hasn't shown any signs of magic! If he doesn't show magical signs his future is predetermined, I'm sending him to France as well as to manage my business with those filthy muggles" Spavin: "Come on Blake, his time will come"
Blake: "There are only two years left before admission to Hogwarts , now time is running out!"
Semptimus: "Fortunately, none of my children have ever given me such serious problems so far".
Blake: "I'll give you those! Poker of Kings!" Everyone places their cards on the table disappointed, Blake looks at his watch exclaiming that it was late, he had to run away and reminds his friends not to be late for the Halloween dance that would take place the same evening.
Thomas, was at Ominis' house they were drawing, but Ominis little brother Marvolo entered the library, an impertinent little boy who loves to torment infaustus because of his docile nature: "Ominis said dad that the crayons are mine! You can't use them" "Come on Marvolo you never use them!" Ominis replied with an exhausted tone due to the torment that that pestiferous child, Marvolo, who will become the last patriarch of the Gaunt family, in fact we are talking about the father of Merope Gaunt, the mother of Lord Voldemort...
Back to us, Marvolo precisely , takes a crayon and begins to scribble on the Italian marble floor. "Dad! Ominis has soiled the floor" shouting like a crow, Corvinus enters the living room and is very angry because he is afraid that any damage will devalue the house which he is trying with all his might not to sell because of all the family debts.
Ominis and told him: "You, you are really risking.... DON'T.. You can't even imagine what you're risking, Get out Ominis go to the garden wherever you want BUT GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"
Ominis, very afraid of being beaten by his father, tries to say that he was innocent but he doesn't have time for the father to slap them.
Yes, because Corvinus like all the Gaunt was a sadist and often willingly his victim was the little Ominis. Ominis and Thomas run away..
They take refuge in the garden.
Thomas hugs Ominis and you tell him not to cry and that his father had exaggerated Ominis replied sobbing: "No Thomas... I hate them I can't wait to get out of here" "You mean when are you going to move?" Thomas replied, Ominis: "No to go to Hogwarts, meet new people, if it were up to me I would never go back even now" Thomas moved by what his friend was going through, hugged him tightly and told him that tonight he could stay quietly at his house . The two then decide to go to Thomas's house immediately, they ran to Thomas's nanny who immediately dematerialized.
Arriving at the Manor their eyes were entranced by all the decorations and carved pumpkins that lined the entrance to the ballroom.
Charles was playing catch me with Alya Black so Thomas and Ominis decide to join them.
It's getting dark, the palace is filled with glittering lights of jewels, dresses, masks and candles..
All the magical and muggle nobility wear Venetian masks.
Blake and Catrine are welcoming the guests, Blake is wearing a completely black eighteenth-century dress and a silver mask, Catrine however, is wearing an eighteenth-century dress completely purple embroidered with black lace, gathered hair and a light make-up, she delicately holds a mask with a stick black as lace.
Between glasses of champagne and waltzes, the evening proceeds in the right direction, until Thomas decides to go into the garden with Ominis but they are followed by two of their peers, Muggle-borns without any magical powers, because they had noticed Ominis' strange eyes.
While Catrine tries to figure out where the twins had gotten to, the Chamberlain of the palace bangs his cane on the floor to attract the attention of the whole room by exclaiming: Lord Culter Blackwood, Lady Maria Becket Blackwood and son, Lord Newt Blackwood "this family that has just entered it is Culter the Brother of Catrine, Blake deeply hates his brother-in-law, who lives off his father-in-law he leaves and takes the opportunity to speak with the minister of magic Spavin.
Newt, direct cousin of the twins, goes out into the garden where he witnesses a very amused scene of those two muggles who are humiliating Infaustus. Thomas says that if they don't stop immediately they will deal with him, the two begin to increase the annoyance of poor Infaustus. Then Thomas launches into the fray, Newt who deeply hates twins launches himself to defend the muggles, at that moment Charles, perhaps due to the legendary connection that exists with his twin, slings into the garden, witnessing the scene brings out a magical awareness as if he were a sixth year his eyes turn black as night, he extends his arm towards cousin Newt and one of the muggles and with a power that no one can understand he pushes the two away in opposite directions causing them to make a flight of about ten meters.
Then he turns his gaze towards the other Muggle still holds out his arm and mimics lifting from the ground with his hand, the second Muggle begins to lift himself off the ground and at that moment Charles closes his hand in a fist, that Muggle starts to miss them breath, Thomas yells at Charles saying let him go, that he was suffocating but Charles didn't feel it was like he was in some kind of trans with two black eyes, black as darkness! The muggle was now purple, Thomas continued to rant about Charles: "CHARLES STOP! ENOUGH! YOU ARE KILLING HIM!" In vain, Newt and Ominis ran inside the house to call the parents of the twins. But at that point that Thomas, like Charles did shortly before him, stretched out his arms towards his brother, mimicking a push, made Charles fly a couple of meters, thus saving the life of the muggle who just before without any reason threw himself on him. Charles got up and in an opinionated tone said: "So this is thanksgiving, I come to your aid and you rail against me!" Thomas replied to be calm, that he was killing that child Charles said: "And even if it were? One less dirty muggle! Little brother, since you've unlocked yourself let's see what you can do" Charles concentrates to cast the same spell on Thomas, Fortunately, Blake and Ratthigan arrive on the spot. Blake: "STOP!" Charles froze, Blake: "But I mean are you crazy?!?! Do you remember your name? You are the Riddles!! You have a good name to carry on! And you fight as if you were in the worst inn in London" The two muggle children who had recovered were leaving the garden without making themselves heard, Blake turned and grabbed his wand: "Pietrificus Totalus" I petrified the two children, and in an agitated tone he shouted : "Ratthigan RATTHIGAN!" Ratthigan: "Yes my Lord"
Blake: "Take these putrid muggles into a room and forget them."
Ratthigan: "Yes my Lord"
Ratthigan Disapparated with the two Muggles, Blake was left alone with the Twins: "So?!? What happened here?" The twins told the facts, Blake felt relieved for a moment because his son Thomas was not a nomag told them to calm down...
They returned to the house, the evening came to an end. Thomas woke up early, early in the morning he was all excited ready to go riding with his father put on his own clothes, ran downstairs to his father's study, knocked on the door father gave him permission to enter. Blake Coolly told him if he needed to hurry that he was busy. Thomas intimidated and embittered explained that today was the day of the ride the day of his first magic. Blake looked up from the accounting records, I looked his son in the eyes and said: "You are not worthy to ride with me today.. and I'll also explain why, did you use your first magic against your brother? For what? To protect muggles, those disgusting inferior beings who, moreover, had attacked you because you had to defend Infaustus, a friendship that I disapprove of from the beginning, my son, for me right now you are just a disappointment! So I don't have to give you any speech, now go! I have a lot of work to do." Thomas, disappointed and heartbroken, left the studio and burst into tears, but this time he decided to keep everything inside, so he dried his eyes and went back to his rooms as if nothing had happened, never knowing what his father had told him if things were go differently.
