Chapter 34- A magical inheritance

Lily and Narcissa were climbing down the ladder from Divination, when Lily slipped from the ladder.

Narcissa fumbled for her wand before casting, “Wingardium Leviosa!”

Normally she would have ignored her because of Bellatrix’s decree but Lucius had demanded that she keep an eye on Severus and Lily. As her betrothed, Narcissa had to obey because she was joining the House of Malfoy and leaving the Black family following graduation.

Narcissa knew that Andromeda was Lily’s healer so she used her prefect status to order most of the other Divination NEWT students away with the noted exception of her best friend Azalea Flint.

She waited until she was on solid stone rather than that dratted ladder, before speaking, “Azalea fetch Severus. Have him meet me in the infirmary.”

Then she summoned a Malfoy elf.

“Miss Cissy be needing Dobby?”

Narcissa nodded, “Tell Andromeda that Lily collapsed. I will be escorting her to the Hogwarts infirmary.”

The elf bowed and Narcissa conjured a stretcher and guided Lily onto it before heading to the infirmary.

XoooooX

Andromeda was examined a patient when a vaguely familiar elf appeared.

“Yes?” She snapped, irritated to be interrupted during an exam.

“Missy Cissy be calling. Miss Lily be collapsed. Missy Cissy say meet in infirmary.”

Andromeda stiffened, “Very well.”

Luckily, her patient was a former schoolmate and prefect.

Emelia Bones rose, “I am fine, I will return to the Ministry. I will inform Lord Consort Prince-Burbage that you will be sending my report in at your earliest convenience "

Andromeda ushered her to the door, "Tell him to come to Hogwarts at once. Due to his wardship of the Prince heir, Aurelius is also Lily's magical guardian in lieu of her Muggle parents."

Emelia left leaving Andromeda alone, so she ordered the Malfoy elf to take her to Hogwarts at once.

She arrived and was surprised to find Cissy refusing to allow Pomfrey to examine Lily.

"Now Miss Black, I am a medi-witch and in charge of this infirmary,"

"Yes but I am the healer who has both the consent of her Muggle parents and magical guardian to ensure that she remains in perfect health. Thank you Cissy, you may now step aside." Andromeda said stiffly.

Narcissa obeyed at once though frowning in thought, "I sent for Severus, was that the correct choice? Ought I to have sent for cousin James instead?"

Andromeda silently examined Lily and was surprised to find her in a trace state.

Severus and Aurelius arrived nearly together but Andromeda ignored them to focus on her exam.

"Is she alright?" Severus blurted out when she stilled.

Andromeda shooed Narcissa and Pomfrey away before gesturing for them to approach.

Once the three of them were close enough, Andromeda wandlessly cast a silencing bubble around then to prevent eavesdropping.

"What is Lily's wand?" She snapped at Severus.

Severus gaped at her, "What? White willow, why?"

"I see, now close your mouth unless you wish to catch doxies with it. I am suspicious that she is in a trace state. I believe she has inherited clairvoyance..."

Severus frowned, "Clairvoyance? But she's a Muggleborn..."

Aurelius sighed, "I had Andromeda check her blood since Muggleborns are descended from squibs. Lily has ties to our blood. There hasn't been a seer within the family for generations or so I had suspected until recently that is..."

Andromeda was surprised, had Aurelius surmised that Eileen was a seer? He was also claiming Lily as a Prince while still abiding by Lily's wishes and refraining from mentioning that they were actually twins.

"So were distant cousins?" Severus frowned.

"Something like that..." Aurelius muttered.

Andromeda did wonder if that was how Eileen had discovered the true character of their side..

To her knowledge only herself, Ted and Aurelius knew his identity...

Lily gasped, bolting up as if choking. "I am alive, oh God..." Then she immediately burst into tears. "No... oh please God no.. "

They could get no sense from her and Andromeda had to resort to dosing the sobbing teenage witch with a dreamless sleep potion.

Once the girl was unconscious, Andromeda requested that Aurelius have her taken to bed and inform her professors that she would need rest. They would blame the strain of her Newt course load.

Severus was still confused as they headed for the corridor, "What happened? She seemed normal at breakfast..."

Andromeda sighed, "I believe that she had a disturbing vision. She will speak of it when she is ready, do not press her."

Severus frowned, "What should I tell James?"

Aurelius scowled, "Tell him that she came into a magical inheritance today..."

"But it's my birthday not her's!" Severus blurted out.

Andromeda glowered, "Sister Magic's ways are indecipherable. What is, is what is..."

Severus stumbled along in Aurelius' shadow after she forced a calming draught into him before stalking off.

She was well aware of Lily's detirmination to keep their twinship a secret but Andromeda was unsure if it was wise. The Prince blood was strong in her and Severus was clever. How long would the Prince heir remain unaware?

Whatever Lily saw was painful and traumatic, it would be wise of Aurelius to insist on Ted treating her and sooner rather than later.

Andromeda summoned her personal elf to escort her to the Villa, tossing out Sofia to speak with Eileen privately.

After warding the room, Andromeda approached Eileen's divan where she was reclining.

"Your daughter is a seer." She said in lieu of a greeting.

Eileen gasped, "No.. Oh Salazar I never wanted that burden for her. What did she see?"

Andromeda sighed, repeating Lily's anguished mutterings after awakening. "Given her inconsolable state likely her demise."

Eileen began to sob, "Daughter I am sorry to have cursed you with such a gift."

Andromeda dosed her with a calming draught, wondering if confronting Eileen with Lily's clearly Prince descended magical inheritance was cruel of her.

"Perhaps I should not have come..." she murmered as she left Eileen’s presence.

Ted would chastised her for burdening his patient and Aurelius would not be pleased...

What's done cannot be undone...

She saw herself out, now she would have to update and send reports to Aurelius on both Emelia and Lily...

XoooooX

Lily waited for a free period before summoning an elf from Merit Manor a few days after her heartbreaking vision.

The elf arrived bowing, "What Miss Lily be needing?"

Lily swallowed, "Take me to the Ministry, I must speak with Aurelius."

The elf surprisingly agreed at once, "Chassy do."

Lily arrived to find her great-uncle busy with paperwork.

He glanced up when they popped into his office. "Lily?"

She swallowed, wringing her hands, "We need to speak about my vision..."

He nodded, gesturing to a chair between them. "Of course... "

She toyed with the end of her auburn plait, "I also want to make my will..."

While the request came somewhat of a surprise, Aurelius had some inkling as to her reasoning. He immediate went to the floo and threw some powder in, “Malfoy and Associates, solicitors.”

A slightly familiar blonde appeared in the floo, clearly someone related to Lucius, Xenos, Sancus and Clarita…

“Yes Aurelius?”

“A ward of the House of Prince needs to make their will. Come at once.”

“I will fetch the appropriate parchment and quills. Give me ten minutes was the immediate reply.

Lily waited impatient and distracted but silent.

When the solicitor arrived and stepped out of the floo, Lily let out a sigh of relief.

The wizard claimed a chair beside hers, immediately pulling out parchment, ink and a quill. The ink was place on Aurelius’ desk, unstoppered and the quill dipped in before this Malfoy turned to fix her with a penetrating stare. “Apollus Malfoy at your service M’lady.”

“Lily Evans…” Lily said uncomfortably.

“You’re what sixteen? Why do you need a will so young?” Apollus asked clearly out of curiousity.

Lily swallowed, “I am a seer, I saw my end. I want to be as prepared as possible. I have people to protect…”

Apollus shrugged, “As you wish M’lady.”

“I, Lily Anne Evans, born Elaine Honoria Prince do make my last will and testament being of sound mind and magic. I grant my possessions to my son Herodotus James Potter when he comes of age. Custody of our son is to be granted to my twin Severus Aurelian Prince and his bondmate Remus John Lupin. After my death, I wish for my blood adoption to be reversed and to be laid to rest with the Potters. No one, not even the Chief Warlock of Britain is allowed to refuse my wishes. James Safin Potter, my bondmate will proceed me in death and my wishes will stand. I charge my cousin Faith Amatheia Burbage-O’Flaherty to ensure that my wishes are carried out. This I swear that I do declare being of sound mind and magic, Elaine Honoria Prince.” Lily was a bit breathless when she finished.

Aurelius frowned, “Why Faith?”

Lily shrugged, “She is a Burbage and a close cousin, she will do what must be done.”

“Wait, you and Severus are twins yet do not share the same name? What is this about a blood adoption?” Apollus blinked looking up from his parchment.

Lily nodded, “We will speak of it no more. I will return to Hogwarts now. I will be willing to sign it in blood before a Gringotts goblin when it is finished.

The wizards nodded.

Lily held out her arm to the elf that Apollus’ bonded Hope had assigned her, her free period was dwindling and she must return before her absence was noted…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
