Chapter 21: Ch:21 Invisibility Cloak and Lineage
"Well I will just do it later..." Orion mumbled with a gaze to his new rifles and stepped inside the vanishing cabinett. He then activated it and he started to fall into emptyness.
The falling sensation stopped and he felt solid ground under his feet again.
He opened the door of the cabinett and stepped out inside his room in Hogwarts.
As soon as he was out he moved to his working table and pulled out his self-made invisibility cloak. He then folded the cloak, wrapped it up in wrapping paper and added a note where he wrote in fake handwriting "For Harry Potter,
your farther left this in my posession before he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well".
Statisfied with the present he waited until it was midnight and sneaked out of the Slytherin dorm.
He arrived at the entrance of the Griffindor dorms and faced the portrait of the fat lady.
He pointed his hand at the sleeping portrait and chanted "Imperio".
The fat lady woke up and looked at him with glassy eyes.
"Open the door" Orion said and the frame swung open.
He then entered the common room where a few gifts piled up under a christmas tree.
He searched for Harry's present and exchanged it with his fake invisibility cloak.
Having acomplished his mission for tonight he quickly retreated and walked out of the Griffindor dorm.
He then released the Imperio curse on the fat lady.
As the fat lady woke up from her trance he dissapeared into the corridors and quickly made his way to the dungeons.
He expected that the cloak was enchanted with countless tracking charms from Dumbledore. It would take a while to dismantle them so he returned into his dorm and stepped into the vanishing cabinett. No matter how many tracking charms Dumbledore put on the cloak he wouldn't be able to locate Camelot which was under the Fidelus.
He then stepped out of the cabinett and was back at his new weapon room.
"Well I am sorry little Harry but I can't give up on a deathly hallow" Orion said and ripped the package open "happy christmas to me".
He marveled at the countless enchantments of the cloak and the seemingly unlimited mana it posessed. The effort was definetly worth it.
Before he forgot it he also sent out the presents to his brother and Neville through his house elves. With that done all he had to do for the remaining three days was to wait and watch how the castle repaired itself and play a bit with his firearms.
For that he first made the enchantments he already planned.
Silencing, cushioning charms for the recoil and banishing charms to increase the speed. He also added a zooming function on the sniper scope together with infrared and night vision.
Statisfied he looked at his newly enchanted sniper rifle that was littered with jagged black runes.
"Oh something so evil shouldn't be allowed to exist...but it is fine as long as I have it..." Orion smiled. The only thing that is left to improve is the munition. Simple iron isn't going to be very effective when faced with magic beasts or wizarding shields.
After he was done creating special munition out of goblin silver and adamantium he also made it an art project to design his own pistol. Based on the muggle weapons he made it out of several magic metals. He made the whole gun out of goblin silver to hold the enchantments...and because it looked nice. For the barrel he used Adamantium to handle the extreme combustion and for the handle he used black steel...because it looked fancy.
He also engraved beautiful patterns into the goblin silver and made them into a beatiful artwork.
Of course he also added countless enchantments such as featherlight charm, a speed enchantment and all the others he also added to his sniper.
He then also created a special magical extended pocket inside his combat suit where he could put the weapons with enough munition into.
He also enchanted his combat suit to be snow-white. Together with the long hood and the black rune enchantment on the dragon skin it should be the most powerful magic amour in the world. He added parts of the death eater uniform and created a slightly different skull mask from the death eaters.
Of course he also enchanted it against the outside temperature and rain.The death eaters would be in for a treat at the Quidditch world cup in three years.
But for now he would just quietly follow the plot and steal the stone at the end of the year. As for the second year...well he would have to see...
'Time to get back to Hogwarts' Orion thought and just stepped through the vanishing cabinett. He was too lazy to just take the Hogwarts express the next day.
Tired he just slumped into his bed and fell asleep almost immediately.
The next day he woke up around lunchtime so he just went to the great hall to grab something to eat.
"Ori...are you back already?" Mordred asked him "I thought the Hogwarts express would arrive in the evening..."
"Yes I also bought a few house elves. They can apparate and bring me here earlier" Orion just replied and sat down at the Griffindor table"I also bought one for you"
"You bought house elfs? Why would you do such a thing? They have a right to their freedom" Hermoine who overheard their conversation said.
Orion just rolled his eyes but still answered "Well there are a few reasons. First is because they are really useful servants, second is because they don't need to eat or need to be paid a salary, third is because they need magic from a wizard. They are like intelligent parasites. They would die without a master".
Hermoine just got more worked up with that "that doesn't mean you can treat them like slaves!"
The more Orion talked to her the more frustrated he became "listen here girl, having house elves as servants is both a status symbol and a tradition of over thousand years in the wizarding world. Even Hogwarts has over one-hundred house elves working in the kitchen. Don't expect this world to have the same values like the muggle world. If you don't even try to understand our culture and traditions, I suggest you go back to your world!"
When he was finished Hermoine got up and ran out of the great hall crying.
Harry and Ron followed her after trying to kill Orion with their gazes.
"You know that was a bit harsch on her..." Neville said.
"No she needs to learn these things and face reality. She is smart but very naive" Mordred said "...and she is kind of stuck up as Orion said"
"Ah thank you for the gift. I didn't even know the reason I perfomed so badly in all practical classes was because my wand was incompatible with me. McGonagall even said she will take me to diagon alley next weekend" Neville said.
"You are welcome. That's what friends are there for right? Anyways I rebuilt the castle with the help of the house elves. They are currently furnishing it. We don't need to return to that Orphange" Orion said turning to Mordred.
"By castle you mean...?"
Orion just smiled "It was quite easy althrough it took quite a while. Unfortunately the magic gerator on the leyline and all the wards need to be completly remodled and repaired. I hid the castle under the Fidelus"
"Woah" Mordred just managed to say "you are fucking awesome".
"As if you didn't know that already" Orion said arrogantly.
"You have a castle?" Neville asked.
"Oh yeah, Its from our ancestors" Orion said.
"Your last name isn't really Green right?" Neville asked suspicionsly.
"No, if that was the case I wouldn't have been sorted into Slytherin. The speaking hat only sorts children from a magical lineage into that house"
"Then what is your real name?" Neville asked curiously.
Orion just looked at his brother. He didn't know if it was a good idea to tell Neville without a magical contract but it seems it was already to late.
Mordred proudly said "I am Mordred LeFay Pendragon, heir Pendragon "
Orion just sighed "Orion LeFay Pendragon, heir LeFay"
"Pendragon like in Athur Pendragon? The last magical king of Britian?" Neville asked.
Mordred just nodded and Neville burst out laughing.
"Hahaha you nearly got me there" Neville said but stopped when he saw the serious look of them.
"Wait you were serious?"
Mordred just materialized his heir and lord ring which serves as ultimate of ones lineage in the wizarding world.
"Now the press is going to haunt us" Orion just lamented as he noticed the shocked gazes of the other Gryffindors next to Neville.
