9 Years later, July 31st.
Lucius Malfoy was a strong man, high on the political ladder and in power. Though to those loyal to the Dark Lord, he was high up in the ranks as well. To be a Malfoy was an honor and Lucius himself looked down upon people that he considered below him, which became quite a few people. Slender gloved fingers grasped the snake head of his cane before him, standing in the main hall way. Beside him, his wife stood, poised and ready to leave.
Cold grayish/silver eyes glanced to the little slip of parchment in his left hand. It was thick and written with an elegant scrawl, its color an odd grey type. It was very uncommon in writing but it just made it that much more important. Looking back down to the item, he reread it once more.
Dear Lord Malfoy,
This is an invitation to my son, Endis Salazar Notte's birthday ball, only people with this invitation will be allowed to attend. This invitation span's to your family as well, allowing you to bring them with you when you apparate before the front door. If you do not wish to attend simply write so on the back and send it back with the owl. If you do not reply back, I will assume you will be in attendance. I thank you for your time and look forward to having you over.
Signed,
Nyan Salazar Notte.
At first, Lucius was surprised, he had never heard of Nyen having a son, in fact no one knew he had one. So why now of all times did the man decide to open up something he seemed to keep hidden. Unless his son was a bastard son of a witch which he had not thought the man would be as such. So it was surprising and he was interested in meeting this child. He was sure his own son would get along well with him if he was as smart and cunning as his father. Shaking his head, his eyes returned to look at his wife, looking down to her hands, there was a perfectly wrapped gift, covered in dark green paper.
His wife was dressed in an elegant black gown that went to her ankles, her wedding ring and another ring donned on her left hand. Around her neck sat a gold chain with a dangling rose that had a stem that went a little lower with petals and a few thorns. In the middle of the flower sat a pearl, representing Draco's birthstone. Her high heels clicked softly with every step she took on the marble floor.
The two waited for their son who soon made his way down the stairs. His hair was slicked back, wearing the finest silk that money could buy. His robes where black, as where his fathers. A dark green traveling cloak hung around his body as he walked to his mother, reaching out to grasp her free hand. "Why must I go? This will be another boring party like always." He muttered, though Malfoy's never pouted, Draco had been spoiled the moment he was born so he did what he wanted to and whined when he didn't get his way.
Shaking his head, Lucius looked to his son. "Someone very important has invited us to his son's birthday party in which we shall attend. I am sure others your age will be there and some of your friends even." The boy's where not very far from age, in fact there was only one month and some odd days he was sure that put them apart. So Draco was a little older. The young male pouted just slightly before grasping his mother’s offered arm, with that there was a 'crack' and the two were gone.
Lucius watched them depart before he followed a moment later. They arrived before the large mansion, even to the Malfoy's, the place was impressive. Lucius took the lead, walking towards the doors that opened right when he go to them. A house elf stood there before bowing deeply to them. "May's I has the invitation justs to makes sure you are on the lists." The male elf asked.
Giving not a hint of emotion, Lucius held out the invitation and once the elf did a spell that made it glow silver color before the invitation disappeared. "Please follows Irril's to the ballroom, Lord Malfoy and family." Another male house elf appeared with a soft 'pop' bowing before turning to walk the long hall. Some of the paintings had been removed for privacy and of course for keeping the identity of Salazar a secret. After all, having talking pictures that enjoyed boasting and telling people things wouldn't do so well.
The three Malfoy's looked around the house, seeing how well it was decorated and clean and they seemed to rather enjoy it. Irril soon stopped and turned to face the three before he pushed open the door. Inside was grand, much larger than even the Malfoy's ball room. Decorations hung everywhere, yet it retained its regal look. Lord Malfoy looked around, his eyes taking in everything, nearly nothing slipped by him. A few guests though he was sure more where to come. But he first took in his surroundings. Some people walked from the ball room and went out into the open double door's that led to the terrain outside. Against the far wall a large table of drinks, punch and a few other harmless drinks, like Butterbeer, Pumpkin juice, Pumpkinshakes and Mulled Mead with no alcohol. He was sure those where for the children and people who didn't want alcohol.
The table’s piled of various types that would not let anyone down. Even some sweets, from Chocolate Frogs to Mini Dragon eggs and then on. But he would make sure Draco would only eat a little bit of sweets if he had anything to say about it. Grey eyes looked from the table on the other side to the tables in the middle. There were three separate tables, one on the left side, one on the right and one directly in the middle. A small iced sculpture sat on each table, on the left had a phoenix sculpture, its wings spread and eyes seemingly looking at the person who would be sitting in front of it. On the right was a snake sculpture, its tail wrapped on the bottom and its head looking ahead, its tongue slipped out just a little. As for the middle table, that seemed to hold Salazar's symbol, well his alias's anyway, a raven who's wings were spread wide and head tossed back looking up, a basilisk wrapped around its torso, the tail reached the bottom and its head rested on the left wing, gazing at the person who sat in front of it as well.
If counted right, the left table had seats for fifteen people, while the right had enough for twenty three. The middle however held so much less, a total of five seats. A small name card was placed before each seat, showing where people would be sitting. But there was one table right before the middle one that seated two people that over looked the other three tables and he was sure that seat was for Nyen and his child to sit at. Looking over to the table next to the table with two seats, he saw quite a few presents there. Irril looked to the present that Narcissa had and snapped his fingers, letting it disappear and appear on the table. With that, the elf was gone.
Nyen looked over, excusing himself before he approached Lucius and gave a small nod. "Welcome, so glad you could make it." His eyes traveled to Draco and looked him over before giving a small nod. "My son, Endis is outside with a few other children, just head through the double doors to the porch and into the gardens, just follow the pathway and it will lead you to them."
Draco looked up to his father, seeing the man give him a curt nod. He looked back to Nyen. "Thank you for inviting me sir." He replied, giving a low bow before he walked off to head outside.
Watching his son leave, Lucius looked back to the male. "I was surprised you had a son, no one knew of him."
Nyen let an amused smirk form on his face. "Indeed, I had a reason for that as well. But for now, why not go join the quests and enjoy yourselves?" He murmured, looking to Narcissa, he held his hand out to her. "It's a pleasure to meet you, my Lady." Grasping her hand, he turned it knuckles up before gently kissing the back of her hand like a gentleman should.
A slight curve of her lips showed what she thought of his manners. "Pleasure is all mine good sir, I hear a lot about you from my husband. I thank you for inviting us."
Nodding, the male moved back. "Please, enjoy yourselves, dinner will be served soon." He smiled once more before turning and leaving, though the smile did not reach his eyes, in fact no emotion made it besides a stern coldness. With that, he left, heading towards another guest that had just arrived.
Grey eyes watched the male leave before turning to his wife. Seeing her glanced towards the double doors leading outside, he shook his head before looking around. A few guests he saw made him a bit shocked. The first person he spot was Avery, he was glamoured somewhat, but only quite a few knew how he looked glamoured and the inner circle knew. Seeing the male here was shocking, but he also saw Albus Dumbledore making his way around to speak to guests. The range of people here and who they were made it shocking.
After the fall of their Lord, the Death Eaters went quickly into hiding; using glamour's that only the inner circle knew of. So only a few of the outer circles where arrested. Since no one knew of the glamour's, all of the inner circle where still free, including Bellatrix and others. They were truly loyal to their Lord and where looking for a way to bring him back as well as getting spots within the Ministry to please him. The group became very close to bringing him back, it would only be a matter of time and it would be soon that the man would be back. Voldemort had also helped his Death Eater's, well his inner circle really. He made a special cream that would conceal the Dark Mark from anyone else but him. Each one had quite a supply just in case too. Shaking his head, he went to mingle for now, deciding that it was the best thing to do.
…. ...
Draco wandered outside, glancing around in slight amazement and awe at how wonderful the garden was. Walking slowly, a few guests where outside, wondering and talking to each other. A small table of drinks and treats were also nearby but he paid no mind, intent on following the voices that where a little bit away. Slipping through the lean pathway, he admired the rare flowers and herbs mixed together to create a beautiful and wonderful smelling distraction. But he continued on, moving past a tree or two and then a few bushes to stop at the end. There were a few benches that all seemed to face one, in the middle was a tiny bush with small dark purple flowers. A small table sat to the right with drinks and treats as well for the kids. He could make who was there. His two not so very smart friends, Crabbe and Goyle who sat together on the bench to the left, eating quite a few sweets. Rolling his eyes in an un very Malfoy way, he looked to the bench to the right, seeing Astoria and Daphne Greengrass, as well as Millicent Bulstrode. It seemed the girls where together in plotting something as they talked to the one before all three of the benches.
On the middle bench sat Marcus Belby and Bole. He didn't know much about those two but didn't much care as his eyes looked to the male that had them all looking at him. He was shocked at how…regal the male looked. The male sat with one leg crossed over the other, in his hand a glass of what he assumed was pumpkin juice. Long flowing mid back black hair was tied loosely with a silver ribbon that hung lower and went to his waist. It had only a slight wave but looked as smooth as silk. Full red lips where turned into a small smile as slender long fingers tapped the bench beside him as he spoke in a soft, smooth and in a voice that seemed similar to his fathers. The lithe body donned dark forest green long sleeve shirt, black tailored silk pants that seemed a little tight but looked good on him, followed it as well as black dragon hide boots that went a little above his ankle's but where covered by his pant legs.
Looking up, he saw the male had very vibrant Avada Kadavara eyes that would startle anyone, they were quite nice to look upon. Around his neck, a silver chain was wrapped a little tight for Draco's standard, attached to the chain was a Basilisk pendant with gold eyes, it curved around a star and looked ready to strike it seemed. Other than that, he had one ring on his index finger; it was a light emerald with the Notte crest upon it. Once he finished his observation, he made his way over and sat between Goyle and Crabbe, his eyes on the new boy. "So, you must be Notte?" He questioned, looking into the males eyes.
Glowing eyes looked to Draco, watching him approach before giving a slight smile. "I am, but just call me Endis, that is my name after all." He told him, leaning back a little more. "You must be….Malfoy…Draco Malfoy right?" Getting a nod, Endis grinned more. "Nice to finally meet you, care for anything to drink?" Since it was his birthday, Endis decided it would be nice to host for the children that where there for him.
"Yes please." Draco replied, moving to look to the others. But his attention returned to Endis when he saw a lazy hand movement and a drink floated to him. The blond stared in slight shock. "You do wandless?" He asked in a slight whisper.
Blinking, the boy gave a small laugh. "My father said I need to learn all I can. I can't get a wand until another year. All I can do is small things but it helps sometimes." He replied with a small laugh.
Nodding, Draco took the drink and took a sip, already liking the boy. "That's quite amazing though."
"Hmph, maybe one day you can do that too Draco, darling." Daphne said with a small grin, making the others laugh and Draco scowl at her.
They spent the next hour talking and enjoying each other’s company. Talking about what school they would want to attend and what houses they would more or less be sorted into. Then it went to Quidditch and their favorite teams and whatever else they could talk about. All of the kids enjoyed each other's company, even Crabbe and Goyle got in on what was their favorite food and candy. After an hour and some odd minutes passed, a 'pop' alerted the children to an house elf and looked towards Debis who appeared next to Endis. "Young master’s sirs, yous father requests every one of yous to the ball rooms sirs."
Giving a small nod, Endis stood. "Thanks Debis, we shall be heading there then." Seeing the nod and the elf leaving, Endis smiled to the others. "Well, let’s head in and have some dinner then." In truth, the male was hungry and eager to see what he got in presents. Everyone by now had come and where seated. The kids went to take their seats. Endis sat down by his father and looked around. To his right, everyone else's left to the table with the phoenix carve sat fifteen people. Albus Dumbledore sat in front of the Phoenix, to the man's right went in this order: Elphias Doge, Edgar Bones, Amelia Susan Bones, Susan Bones, Caradoc Dearborn, Dedalus Diggle, Mundungus Fletcher, Benjy Fenwick, Hestia Jones, Marlene Mckimon, Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Sr, John Dawlish, Cornelius Oswald Fudge, and last, but certainly not least, Millicent Bagnold, the previous Minister of Magic.
Emerald eyes turned his gaze to the much fuller table to his left and everyone else's right. At the head sat of course, Lucius Malfoy to his right went this order: Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, Avery, Mr. Bagman, Jugson, Alecto Carrow, Amycus Carrow, Crabbe Sr, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Goyle Sr, Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Jr, Antonin Dolohov, Basil, Broderick Bode, Reginald Cattermole, Astoria Greengrass, Daphne Greengrass, Bole, Millicent Bulstrode, and of course Marcus Belby. Then of course the last and very least table that had their own crests on it. In the middle where the snake looked at sat Blodwyn Bludd to his right consisted of: Gregorovitch, Barnabas Cuffe, Laurentia Fletwacke and the last in that area was Croaker.
The people in the middle where special to his father and he knew that. He also knew that most if not all on his left where and are Death Eaters while the others with Dumbledore where in the Order of the Phoenix. Shaking his head, he looked to his father as he stood up.
Nyen held up his wine glass and looked over the people gathered. "Today, we are here to celebrate my son's tenth birthday, I wish to thank all those in attendance and wish each and every one of you a good time. But for now, let us eat!" He said the last word a little higher and food appeared before the guests. Each guest had their own favorite food, since it was required to know what they liked the most. Watching as they dug in, he sat back down to eat with his son, smiling only a tad before he started to eat his food.
Grinning, Endis let his eyes wondered to each person, hearing small conversations and words spoken. He smiled slightly before he continued to eat, wondering just what would happen to his future.
