The Start of a New Reality

Finding Out About Peverell Castle

Everywhere I look there is something that i'm pretty sure is not supposed to be here. There are sooooo many magical creatures here and I have no idea how they got here in the first place. What the hell?!?!? Since when do I have freaking dragons staying at my castle?!?!? Also, I have no idea what type of dragon that is. Never freaking seen a dragon that looks like.... whatever that is. Is it supposed to have 2 heads on one body? I don't think so. Either someone has been experimenting on dragons (highly unlikely, but you never know) or this is a extremely rare and endangered species. 

Are those, are those mermaids? Oohhh that lagoon looks so refreshing right now, with its sparkling blue tinged with teal water. Clean, fresh water is just pouring out a, a  crack in the wall? Nope, thats a waterfall. Duh. 

Turning the corner I see the "Castle". This is not a Castle. This is like 10 castles stuck together crossed with a mansion.  How do people live like this? It would take like a whole month of non stop cleaning to clean this. Ohhhh, that's why we have these useful things called house elfs. I walk up the steps and because I don't have a key, I knock on the door. I feel a bit stupid knocking on the door to my house. Castle. Mansion. Whatever. A little crack appears in the door, and I see house elf eyes peer out cautiously around the door. 

"Who are you?", the hosue elf asks.

"I'm Lord Hadrian James Potter-Gryffindor-Slytherin-Ravenclaw-Hufflepuff-Emrys-Evan-Peverell-Black, the new Head of the Peverell line." As I was talking the little elfs eyes had bugged out to a rather concerning degree and had frozen in what appears to be shock.

"Master Peverell!, such an honour it is. My name is Dippy. Dippy is head house elf. Dippy is in charge of making sure everything good. Welcome to Peverell Sanctuary for all Magical Creatures."

"What? Why do we have a Sanctuary as part of the castle?".

"Peverell castle has always been a Sanctuary for endangered species. Last of a kind or type of animal has always appeared here. There are parts of the property that has its own climate, so that those animals can be comfortable within their surroundings. Would Master like the Peverell History book?"

"Yes, thanks". I didn't realise that I would be living with potentially dangerous and endangered animals for the next few months. However, most of them are most likely tame or friendly considering that the Castle hasn't been burnt to ashes or ripped to shreds yet. Dippy showed me the wear the West wing was. The West Wing is where the Master bedroom was, and is now my permanent bedroom for the next 2 or so months.

It is quite spacious with not a lot of glamourous furniture pieces in it. Which to be fair, is not unusual considering that the last Master that stayed here was over a hundred years ago. Deciding that my bedroom needed to be more....modern, I add and switch around some decor. Gone is the wooden board that had a "mattress" on it. In it's place is a huge four poster bed, furnished with a silk sheet and comforter, deep blue duvet and matching pillows. There was now a large, black couch shaped like an L in one of the corners in the room. On the wall opposite the bed, is a large empty frame. I plan on getting a copy of the Peverell Family Tree and hanging it there. In front of the couch is a unlit fireplace for when it gets cold and an emergency escape route. 

On the other side of the room is what I like to call my reading nook. Theres a wooden bookshelf that covers half of the wall and is currently empty. Once I discover some books that I really enjoy reading, I'll have some copies put in there. There are 2 blue beanbags and a black hammock for resting in. According to Dippy I have my own en suite and it will make itself visible when I saw the command word.

"Salle de Bains" which literally just means 'bathroom' in french. Apparently, the bathroom is similar to the Room of Requirement, except it has more boundaries. I can change how the bathroom looks like with just a thought. However, I can't turn the bathroom into anything that doesn't contain water. 

Using a quick 'point me' speel I find my way to the library. The Peverell Library is one of the most famous and grand library there is in the wizarding worlds. Everyone has heard rumours about the Library but no one outside of the family has ever seen it.  

Everyone was right, stepping into the Library made me feel like how I did when I saw the Great Hall for the first time. It was so, so....extravagant. There was wall to wall book shelves, and what seemed to look like a maze of bookshelves. There was a huge spiralling staircase that moved by itself, like an escalator. Everynow and then a book would just appear out of thin air and zoom across to a bookshelf and lodge itself in place. At the very front of the room is a pedestal with a huge worn book on it. Opening the book I discovered that it was completely and utterly blank.

I bet if i thinks omething like 'Potion Books' it will show up. Looking down I see that exactly that has happened. Most things seem to be cnnected to thought at the Peverell Manor so finding the books I needed was relatively easy. Now that I have all the books I need i'm going to go back to my rooms and try out Occlumency. 

Once I'm back in my rooms I call for Dippy and ask for a late lunch. She pops back in with a tray of garlic bread, soup and some crackers. After i've eaten I follow the books instructions and enter my Mindscape. My Mindscape looks pretty empty at the moment, except for the thousands of pure white orbs floating in the air. Assuming these are my memories I start sorting through them and putting them in order of when they happened. 

I just finished second year when I noticed a black mist crackling with energy floating round my core. I mentally reach out to touch it and all I knew was pain and utter darkness.

I've decided that i'm going to start updating every 2-3 days with smaller chapters. Sooo yeah. btw i don't have a beta so expect to see a lot of spelling or grammar errors
