Inheritance

Chapter 5

Draco P.O.V.

I watched Ciaran sleep for a few moments. Kovus in his arms. I couldn't help but feel guilty. How could I have not done anything to help him? I asked myself. Even after I went through my inheritance I did nothing. I watched the newest slashes and cuts heal. The deeper ones turned to scars. I lay down on the bed next to Ciaran and fell asleep. 

I was 5. Ciaran, Delphi, Andromeda and I were playing hide n seek. Ciaran was seeking. I ran out of the dining room and into the library, I hid in a bookshelf, just barely managing to fit. I waited. I watched Ciaran walk in, look around and then leave. An hour passed and I was still hiding in the bookshelf. Suddenly Ciaran and the girls came in. Ciaran seemed to be on the verge of tears.

"Draco!" Delphi called.

"DRACO!!! CIARAN NEEDS YOU!!!" Andromeda yelled. I looked at Ciaran and realized he was scared. I immediately climbed out. I rushed forward and hugged Ciaran close to me. He silently cried into my shirt. 

"I-I thought th-that you l-l-left me." he cried. My heart shattered.

"No. Of course I wouldn't Ciaran. You're my mate, I love you." I told him. He looked up at me. 

" Really?"

"Really."

I woke up. The sun was shining through the window. I looked up and saw Ciaran and Kovus getting checked out. Ciaran turned to look at me.

"Hi Dray," He greeted.

I smiled. "Hi Ci." (pronounced Key) I greeted happily. "Are you getting checked out?" He nodded.

Angel, our healer, smiled. "Alright, you two are good to go." Ciaran stood up with Kovus in his arms. I stood and wrapped my arm around his waist pulling him close. I smiled when he slowly leaned into me. We were almost at the dining hall.

"Is Andromeda here?" I looked at him.

"No. She has her own mission." Andromeda is my twin sister. Ciaran nodded. We reached the dining hall and found everyone sitting around the table. Ciaran and I sat down as well. 

"Ciaran," The Dark Lord began, "we have an idea for you."

"Let's hear it." Ciaran replied.

"Well we think you should go back to Hogwarts as Harry Potter. This is to avoid suspicion. We need you to recruit your own little ring of students." Ciaran looked down. " We know it'll be hard, but we think it's the best course of action."

"I agree." Ciaran told him. "For the first recruits, I would like Delphi, Neville, Luna, Fred, George, Pansy, Blaise, Theo, Draco and Victor to join." He thought for a moment. "We shall be known as the Founders Circlet, because we will have members from all of the different founders houses in it. Also instead of tattoos, we can do bracelets. Different colors for different houses and schools. We can also have lieutenants for each house."

"I think that's a great idea Ci." I told him. He handed Kovus to me and immediately raised his hand. Four different colors of metals floated in the air. Gold, silver, bronze and black steel. they separated into pieces. Ciaran's hand was on fire. He sat there molding the metals into bracelets, four of them being thicker then the others. Then jewels appeared, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and topaz. The thicker gold bracelet was encrusted with rubies. The thicker silver bracelet was encrusted with emeralds. The thicker bronze bracelet was encrusted with sapphires. The thicker black steel bracelet was encrusted with topaz. He then made a red bracelet lined with black and a blue bracelet lined with silver. As well as a bunch of plain red and blue bracelets.

He took tiny bands of each metal and twisted them together like a rope. He placed that one on his wrist. 

He handed me the silver band with emeralds. "You shall be the Slytherin Lieutenant." He handed the gold band with  rubies to Neville. "You shall be the Gryffindor Lieutenant." He handed the bronze band with sapphires to Luna. "You shall be the Ravenclaw Lieutenant." He handed the red bracelet lined with black to Victor. "You shall be the Durmstrang Lieutenant." He then placed the black steel band with topaz and the blue bracelet lined with silver into his pocket, as we didn't have a Hufflepuff or Bauxbaton representative yet. 

He handed out the rest to the others depending on which house they were in and put the extras in his pocket. "Anyone who wishes to be a member must be brought to me. These bracelets are enchanted, so as to recognize members of our group. Touch the bracelet and say "Circlet." This will cause the bracelet to glow slightly and tell you they are members." He explained.

"But how did you make them?" Bella asked.

"I am a Shadow Dragon." He replied.
