A song of what?? (Patreon)

Upon entering the bookstore, Jon thought that if Maester Luwin could see, it would stop his heart, at least five floors with shelves of magic books, Jon was sure he would have fun here.
The professor and Jon approached the shelf where a young woman was arranging a considerable number of books, she had curly blonde hair, honey-colored eyes and small stature, as they approached her, the girl exclaimed – welcome to Flourish and Blots, how can I help you? -
Professor Snape replied – Good morning, Miss Clearwater, I will need the standard sets of books for years 1 to 7 at school, plus I would like these titles to be added to the purchase please - while handing the young lady a piece of parchment with several books written on it
The young woman read it in a moment and said to the professor – I think we have it all but the last two, let me check and in a moment, I'll be with you professor –
Snape just nodded as the young woman began to collect the books, both Jon and the professor began to look through the shelves for a tome that caught their attention
- "New Theory of Numerology, Bestiarum Magicum, Quidditch Through the Ages" What in the seven hells is Quidditch? – Jon asked to himself
-Quidditch is the sport per excellence of the wizarding world, it is played on broomsticks- replied a voice behind him, when looking Jon found himself face to face with the young woman from before, she was carrying a small mountain of books and it seemed that they would fall at any moment, so, without thinking, Jon took out his wand and with a smooth movement, He summoned the books out of his hands and held them levitating aside, while the young woman looked at him with gratitude and amazement
-That was non-verbal magic, without wand movements, and combining two spells in such a fluid way is impressive, where did you study? I haven't seen you at Hogwarts, and if you don't know what Quidditch is then you must be a Muggleborn like me, right? – asked the young blonde enthusiastically
Jon was a little overwhelmed, he didn't know what a Muggleborn was, so he just answered what he knew – I'll start at Hogwarts in September, in the fifth year, and apologies, but I don't know what a Muggleborn is, Miss Clearwater-
The young woman blushed a little and said – oh sorry for my manners, my name is Penelope Clearwater, I'm studying at Hogwarts, I'm starting my sixth year and I'm a proud Ravenclaw – with a smile as she looked at Jon expectantly
Jon nodded elegantly and replied – nice to meet you, my name is Jon Stark, and about my Hogwarts house, I'm afraid I won't know the answer until September, Miss Clearwater – he finished with a smile looking at the young woman
With a blush the girl replied – tell me Penny, Miss Clearwater sounds too formal, are you looking for a special title or on a specific subject? – asked the young woman with hope in her voice
Jon replied – indeed, I'm looking for tomes of advanced charms, and some initiation tomes for the ancient runes, do you have anything here? –
The young woman nodded, she tucked her hair behind her ear and replied – we have some volumes, follow me – and began to walk towards the second floor of the bookstore, reaching a shelf of various books on enchantments, Jon was fascinated to read the titles of the copies, three caught his attention, "chain of enchantments, the principles of the art of dueling", "Elemental Magic for Prodigious Mages", "Advanced Enchantments and Practical Effects"
-Are you interested in any? – Penny asked with an uncertain look
Jon nodded and took the three books and added them to the floating pile of Professor Snape's assignment and replied – these three please-
Penelope saw him and said a little cautiously – those books are somewhat expensive, they cost 50 galleons each, are you sure? – without wanting to offend the boy
Jon shook his head and said, -No problem my lady, could you show me the rune tomes you have?" –
The young woman nodded and began to direct him to another shelf where she saw a larger number of books about runes, some of the most interesting names, but Jon knew that he had no experience in this branch of magic, so he just took a book on the basic principles and effects of them
-It would be all for the moment, although it is certain that I will return before classes start- said the black-haired man
The young woman's face lit up at the thought of seeing the boy again and nodding she said – I'll be waiting for you – while with a tone of uncertainty and embarrassment she continued – I say, I hope you’ll be back soon! –
Returning to the counter to pay, Professor Snape found himself with two books in his hand, Jon assumed they were tomes that interested the professor, leaving Penny to count the books Jon rambled around the nearby shelves until he found two books in particular, "alchemy in your life, the basic principles" and "enchanted charms to enchant your charmed belongings" Jon took them and added them to the previous stack
Snape looked at the alchemy book approvingly and mentioned – interested in alchemy my lord? – when the professor said "my lord" the young woman opened her eyes and looked at Jon with disbelief and a lot of shame, with her face completely red
Jon just nodded and said, -That's right, in my home alchemists produce something called wild fire, a green liquid that roars with the force of 10 thunders and burns for days, consuming whatever it touches, it's an interesting topic-
Snape nodded and said, -Potions and alchemy, although distinct branches contain many similarities, is an excellent choice as a discipline. -
Jon thanked the professor and looked at Penelope with a smile and asked, -How much would my lady be for books? –
The young woman stuttered a little until, taking a breath, she replied – it would be 1300 galleons... my lord – as he leaned over and looked at Jon with... fear?
Approaching her with concern I ask – are you okay? You look pretty pale and shaking, do you need help? –
The young woman looked at him and said – I'm sorry my lord, a while ago when I called you a Muggleborn I didn't mean to offend you, apologies – while she bowed her head in complete submission to Jon, a radical change from that girl who helped him in the search for books just now
-It was no offense my lady, please raise your face, there is nothing to fear- Jon replied serenely
Penelope looked at him surprised and perhaps with a little relief at the kindness of the boy, she was not used to pure-bloods treated her like a person, much less with respect, the young woman just nodded submissively and asked the young Lord - do you want me to assist you in something else my lord? –
Jon shook his head and said – it would be all for the moment Penny, although I'll be back in a couple of weeks, maybe you could be good and keep the interesting volumes for me – in a playful voice to try to calm the young woman down
The girl blushed even more, although she now had a small smile, stuttering she replied – Yes, my lord, I will have them set aside for you without any problem-
Jon nodded, finished paying for the books and proceeded to put them in his bag, as he left the store with the professor, he told him
-That was very kind of you my lord- said the professor, with a tone of voice that Jon could not decipher
Jon just shook his head and said – she offered me help, she was kind and funny, I had no reason to be rude or cruel to her, professor –
Snape nodded and said – she's Muggleborn, meaning she comes from a family of parents without magic, so a lot of pure-blood wizards and witches, those with magical ancestors tend to see them more as animals than people-
Jon shook his head and said – that doesn't make sense, they may not be noble, but they are still people-
Snape looked at him in silence and the topic was over, at least for the moment, they continued walking until they reached a fairly old store with the name Ollivander on the sign
-We arrived, here you will get a wand of your own, which fits your magic- said the professor as they entered the store
When he entered, he saw no one, the store was full of dust and with several shelves with elongated boxes that Jon assumed contained the wands, when suddenly he felt the hairs on his neck stand on end, without thinking he turned around and threw a depulso towards the presence behind him
To the Stalker's credit, he was able to conjure a shield to protect himself, but the force of the spell moved him a couple of feet back, Jon still had his wand up when the strange man spoke
-Severus Snape, ebony with a Phoenix feather core, sold more than three decades ago- exclaimed the mad old man, then turned his gaze to Jon, or rather to his wand, and exclaimed
-Willow with a unicorn hair core, excellent for charms, sold to a promising young woman who was stripped of her life at a very young age, a real shame- said the old man as he lost himself in thought
Hearing that Jon could hear Professor Snape taking a breath, while looking very sadly at Jon's wand, the old man continued
-Although it has found a new companion, you have earned his complete loyalty Young Wizard, although I do not know you, who are you young man? – asked the old man approaching Jon
Jon put down the wand, but didn't put it away, and replied – my name is Jon Stark, I've come to get a wand of my own – it might sound rude, but the old man had given him a good scare
The old man nodded and said, -My name is Garrick Ollivander, and my family has been making wands for generations, we'll find your companion young Stark, of that you can be sure, although that wand you carries is quite fond of him, since when have you had it? – asked the old man
-Yesterday- Jon said plainly
Nodding the old man muttered – incredible, that you have earned the loyalty of such a stubborn wand speaks of your talent and discipline, however, although functional, it is not perfect for you, you have too much power, a lot of magic flows through the wand, sooner or later it will break if you are not careful – he finished
Jon nodded and said – then you can sell me one that's perfect for me –
Ollivander said – indeed, let's start young man– with a lot of emotion
After an awkward process where a tape measure got into inappropriate places, Jon, Snape, and Ollivander spent at least two hours searching for wands of different woods and cores
Ollivander was quite pensive muttering to himself with great enthusiasm - incredible, his power is great, all wands fear him... -
Jon with some annoyance said - so you don't have a wand that you can use? –
Denying the old man replied – no young man, but that doesn't mean that you will not get one wand, it means that, in more than 70 years, I will have to make a wand to suit you, it will be very exciting – Ollivander proceeded to move his own wand and the shop completely changed from shelves and boxes to a kind of workshop, Jon couldn't help but be impressed by such a demonstration of magic
-The first thing we must do is the choice of materials young man, walk around that table and tell me which wood feels most comfortable, your magic will do the rest, don't worry-
Jon nodded and walked for quite some time checking all kinds of wood, however, none convinced him, he felt that something was missing, so lost in his thoughts was he that, he managed to remember that when he arrived at Hogwarts, in addition to his sword he arrived with a branch of a heart tree, apparently his gods were watching over him, without thinking Jon shouted in the hope that his call would be answered
-Fawkes! – and to the surprise of the two adults, the phoenix appeared in a fireball followed by its magical song landed on Jon's shoulder who began to caress the bird gently
-Could you help me friend? I need the branch that the headmaster has on his desk, the one I had in my hand when I arrived at Hogwarts, could you please bring it to me? – Jon asked the bird kindly
The phoenix nodded, rose into the air and disappeared in a ball of fire, after a few moments, he returned with the branch in his hand, the moment he touched it Jon knew, this was the chosen wood
Thanking the phoenix, who to the surprise of the wizards decided to stay and watch the process, Jon handed the branch to the old man and said that this would be the chosen wood
As he touched it, the old wizard was excited as he had never been before, muttering about the power and meaning of the branch, until he focused his eyes on Jon and asked, -And what is the name of this spectacular tree? –
-It's called the heart tree, originally from Westeros, from the frozen lands of the north, it's a tree that doesn't stop growing, unless it's cut down, very revered by my family- Jon said
Nodding Ollivander said – we have the wood, it's time to choose the core, walk through those jars and tell me if any react to your magic – as he began to inspect the branch
Jon walked under the watchful eye of the phoenix and Professor Snape, some of the jars didn't make him feel anything, some reacted little, until he walked for one in particular, inside there was a large heart, Jon felt that the organ was screaming at him no matter how strange it sounded, reading the label on the jar he saw that it said "black hebrid, D.T." he pointed to the old man
-It's this one, this bottle has the core Mr. Ollivander, I can feel it, roaring, eager to get out- Jon said with a concentrated look at the bottle
The old man walked over to where Jon was and watched – dragon's heartstring, from a powerful black Hebrid, a species that, unfortunately, is believed to be extinct, its wand will be a work of art my lord, I can swear – shouted the old man as he took the jar and returned to the work table
Jon approached Professor Snape and Fawkes and they began to watch the wizard work, they were in complete silence for the time it took Ollivander to perform his magic, until the old man screamed
-ready- while he took the wand as if it were a newborn and handed it to Jon saying – 7 inches, flexible, with wood of the heart tree of winter lands and dragon heart heartstring, from a powerful black hebrid, companion of an old friend of my father, a work of art, my greatest work to date, The most powerful wand I've ever created, it's singing! a song of ice and fire- the old man finished with devotion in his voice
Jon was fascinated, the wand was white on the handle, but as he moves his eyes the tone changed as if live flames were on the tip of it, eager to get out, at the moment of touching it Jon felt electricity cross his body, from the tip of the wand came a torrent of red and white sparks, fire and ice particles so powerful that they lit up the entire shop, the ground trembled and echoes of roars could be heard, Jon guessed it had to do with the dragon heart that was now part of the core of his wand
When the sensation ended, Jon observed that the workshop was completely destroyed by the force of the union of the wand with its new master, feeling bad he made a gesture with the new wand and, with barely a mental command the wand rushed to fulfill the wish of its wielder and an instant later, the whole workshop had been spotless, Jon looked at his wand which vibrated, eager to be used, the feeling was indescribable to Jon, but at last he felt complete, as if a part of him, which he did not know was missing was finally reunited with his body
-Excellent, wonderful, a spectacular wand for an extraordinary wizard, I hope legendary things Lord Stark, that wand will demand no less of you- Ollivander said as, with a gesture, he returned his workshop to its original form, the shop of the beginning
Nodding Jon asked – a work of art Lord Ollivander, how much do I owe you? –
The old man said – 7 galleons, and I will give you this carrier for your wand and this magic care kit, such a special wand requires to be treated with respect –
Jon nodded, paid the amount to the man, and placed the carrier on his arm where he placed the wand, now Jon could hold it in his hand with a smooth flick of his wrist, much better than carrying it in his pocket
Putting the kit in his bag, he looked at the phoenix who was happy and singing and said – thank you for your help Fawkes, I hope to see you soon at Hogwarts – then the bird sang some more and disappeared into thin air, its destination unknown
Professor Snape commented – congratulations on your new wand my lord, powerful and unique, I hope you use it responsibly, let's keep going we have two more stops before we finish-
Jon nodded and followed the professor to a shop called "Madame Malkin" the professor said – I'll leave you here for a moment, I have some business to attend to and you will take time while they have your clothes ready, just order a Hogwarts set and they will do the rest-
Jon nodded as he entered the store in question, fabrics of various colors and textures, his sister would love this place he thought, he also looked at various garments, tunics, jackets, pants, shirts of everything he might need, so Jon thought it would be better to buy clothes of his own
A woman approached him and said, -Good morning young man, what do you need?" – with a smile
Jon replied – good day, I need 5 Hogwarts sets, although I also want some personal order, please, 20 shirts, 20 pants, 5 sets of work clothes, 10 robes and 30 underpants please – at the moment of continuing to speak the woman opened her eyes more and more while the assistants looked at him incredulously and the other customer who was there looked at him with a raised eyebrow, with intrigue in his eyes
With a much more respectful and cautious tone, the woman asked – formal or informal my lord? – the woman thought that this young man could only be a Lord, that type of request was not common, so they would focus on giving him priority
Jon replied – informal please, dark colors, I like black, white and navy, although I don't dislike green and red-
The woman nodded and asked – my lord please stand on that platform to take your measurements – while closing the shop, these kinds of orders had priority.
Jon placed himself on the platform next to a young woman, she was beautiful, a princess in every sense of the word, platinum blonde hair, with snowy skin without any imperfection, high cheekbones, gray eyes, lips with the perfect thickness, when looking at her figure he could not help but notice how soft and perfect her breasts looked, how narrow her waist and how wide her hips were
Perfect for having children Jon thought involuntarily, so lost was he admiring the young lady that he didn't wake up until he heard the voice of one of the assistants
-Please place yourself here my lord and don't move- As she began to measure parts of his body for his orders, Jon was lost in thought until he heard an angelic voice next to him
- Did you like what you saw my lord? – Jon directed his gaze to the young woman who, through the mirror, directed her gaze at him
Jon blushed a little at her lack of control, but he replied – sorry if I make you uncomfortable my lady, but you are undoubtedly the most beautiful woman I have ever seen - and I was not lying thought Jon
Cho and Penny were pretty, each beautiful in her own way, and Jon enjoyed his time with them, but there was no comparison to the womanly perfection in front of him
With a slight smile the maiden replied -How flattering my lord, but I'm afraid I don't know your name- she replied
Jon bowed his head and said, -My name is Jon, Lord of the noble and ancestral house Stark, but now I am at a disadvantage my lady, could you tell me who I have the pleasure with? – asked the boy absorbed in the conversation
The assistants were petrified at such a name, while the young maiden, for the first time in the conversation hesitated, her eyes opened fleetingly and she quickly controlled her facer again and answered
-How interesting, a Lord Stark ascends in the islands in more than 500 years, news that many of the current "noble" families will not like, my lord, I hope you are ready- replied the young woman while looking at Jon intensely, with a look of great interest
Jon nodded and said – No surprising, minor families usurping what doesn't belong to them, if they make any dubius decision, I'm sure that a lesson will make them remember their place my lady, don't worry – Jon said, channeling magic into his voice and with a tone as cold as winter
The attendees were petrified at the sensation of his voice, the magic he expelled made them feel insignificant in comparison, this was not a "lord" like the current ones, who held the title by decree of the ministry, The Starks had the power to back up their title and apparently Lord Jon did not hesitate to exercise it if necessary
The young maiden also felt the magic from the young lord's voice, the power she felt shook her inside and caused a tingle in her belly, but she had her pride so unlike the weak attendants her own magic began to challenge Jon's, she knew that he was more powerful than her, but she would not give in without a fight, she was not just any mudblood who prostrated herself submissively before a powerful wizard, so, against her better judgment, the young woman also unleashed her magic
When Jon felt that the young woman's magic responded and not with submission, a part of him was ecstatic, the Stark magic felt a strong and fertile witch, perfect to bring the new generation into the world, the young woman was powerful, with excellent control, much greater than Jon currently had over his magic, however, another part of Jon, which was burning hard inside him wanted her submission, to recognize that he was the strongest and to prostrate herself before him so, little by little he began to exert more magical pressure on the beautiful lady who, in turn, returned the action, they were so lost in their own world, challenging and courting at the same time that they didn't notice what was going on in the store, until Madame Malkin called them
-My lord, my lady please stop, my girls are trembling at the display of such magical power and the tremors do damage to my shop, I beg you please,- the seamstress exclaimed while imploring them on her knees to stop
Jon stopped exerting magical force on the young woman who, feeling that the young Lord withdrew the magic power could breathe a sigh of relief, that was the most exciting and terrifying experience she had ever felt, a few more seconds and her magic would have given way to the young man's siege, her legs trembled, her heart was racing and her breath was short
Jon looked at the havoc caused by his recklessness and, with a blush, replied – an apology madame, let me help you – while, without waiting for an answer he drew his wand and with a smooth movement, everything in the tent that had been broken returned to its original position, before the astonished gaze of the attendants and the young lady who had captivated him a moment ago
Said young woman spoke – non-verbal magic and no wand movements, it becomes more and more interesting every second that I pass by your side my lord – who kept looking at Jon with hunger in her eyes
Jon directed his gaze and sent him a mischievous smile and replied -I say the same my lady, although I would like to know the name of the maiden who has captured so much of my attention- said the black-haired man while directing his gaze to the eyes of the young woman who shuddered at the intense gaze of the lord
The young woman opened her mouth to answer when a firm but sophisticated voice was heard entering the store
-Lucrecia, my daughter, are you done with the uniforms? – exclaimed a blonde woman who entered the store, elegant and refined, dressed in a tunic that accentuated her curves without being scandalous, there was no doubt where the young woman had gotten her beauty, the mother seemed sculpted by the gods themselves as well as the daughter
The young woman, Lucrecia replied – not yet mother, I had a little conversation with this very interesting young man – the moment she looked at Jon she continued – as my mother already mentioned, my name is Lucrecia Malfoy, I will start at Hogwarts in the fifth year after studying in France – said the young Lucrecia while stretching out her hand to Jon
Jon responded by taking the young woman's hand, without taking his eyes off her eyes, he gave a soft kiss on the hand that sent shivers down the young woman's body and replied – a pleasure to meet you my lady, I will still enter Hogwarts in the fifth year, I hope we can... To talk further-
-Lucrecia, who is this young man? – replied the mother with a warning tone in her voice
The young woman hurriedly replied – Mother I present to you Jon, Lord of the noble and ancestral house Stark, he has just arrived in the islands – said the young woman with a pleased smile before her mother's astonished eyes, the young woman continued – Lord Jon, I present to you my mother, Lady Narcissa Malfoy, of the noble house Malfoy – she finished
Jon looked at the woman, if Lucretia hadn't called her mother Jon would have thought she was his sister, beautiful and elegant, with a slight bow of the head Jon said – a pleasure to meet you my lady, I see from whom Lady Lucrecia inherited such beauty and elegance –
Narcissa tilted her head a little and with a small smile replied – the pleasure is all mine my lord, it was thought that the noble house Stark had become extinct, its return to the magical world will surely make the political world more interesting –
Jon nodded softly and replied – we'll have to wait and see what happens my lady-
Nodding, Narcissa asked her daughter, -Are you finished, Lucrezia? Your father and brother are waiting for us-
Nodding, the young woman replied – Yes, mother, they were taking measurements for a new tunic that I ordered –
-Then it's time to go- said Narcissa, who looked at Madame Malkin and said, -How much would it be for the robes? - with indifferent tone
The woman replied – it would be 100 galleons my lady –
Lady Narcissa nodded and with a movement paid with Gringotts paper money, just as Jon had done before, when she left the place, she said goodbye to Jon
-Nice to meet you, Lord Stark- exclaimed the older woman while the daughter answered, -Nice to meet you, Lord Jon- Lucrecia exclaimed as she watched Jon from head to toe and gave him a small mischievous smile
Jon nodded and replied – the pleasure was mine, Lady Lucretia, I hope we can chat more in depth at Hogwarts –
With a smile the young woman left the store with her mother, while Jon only shook his head
-Excuse me my lord, but we need to finish taking your measurements- said a shy voice behind him
When he looked he saw one of the store attendants who was looking at him with devotion and clear lust in her eyes, Jon nodded and stood back on the platform while the girl continued with her work, if Jon noticed that the young woman kept her hands on her body longer than necessary, he did not comment on it
Outside the tent mother and daughter were going to the Quidditch tent in search of their father and brother, they were chatting quietly, when Narcissa asked
-What was that in the clothing store? – Narcisa asked in a curious tone
Lucretia looked at her mother and replied superiorly – nothing especial mother, only my future husband and I had our first courtship – said the young lady confidently
Narcisa looked at her daughter amused and said -that's my daughter- as they entered the store and heard Draco's voice convincing her father about why he needed a 2001 Nimbus for the new school year
