Arthur Weasley, Wolf’s Den
"Bloody hell, this place is huge!" Ron exclaimed as he looked completely dumbfounded and envious at Lord Stark's castle
An impressive and intimidating magical fortress, the magical pressure they felt was overwhelming, however, when a Lord of such high birth as the Starks, requests a meeting
You must answer
"Language, Ronald," Molly said as she continued to clean her dress nervously, it was evident that his wife was quite restless about the meeting
What could a Lord of such high prestige as Lord Stark need from them?
And even more, of their sons Bill and Charlie?
"The wards of this place are amazing and monstrously strong, I would love to be able to study them," Bill whispered in amazement, observing everything around him
And Arthur could understand his son, this castle felt even more magical than Hogwarts, yet the magic here was wild and untamed
Something difficult to explain
"I can't believe Harry lives here and never invited me," Ron grumbled
Ginny looked at her brother with a frown and fiercely defended Harry
"Harry lives here because he's close to Lord Jon, the same one you insulted non-stop for a whole year, in case you don't remember" the edge in her voice was more than evident, as was the respect for Lord Stark and the devotion to Harry
Arthur was preparing to speak, when a presence was present
"Clan Weasley, welcome," said a female voice
Arthur and his entire family looked back at the origin of the voice, finding a beautiful woman, ethereal even, with ebony skin and white runes all over her body
Bill looked at the woman with his eyes wide open and began to mumble nonstop, trying to read the visible runes
"Thank you for the welcome, miss..." waiting for the woman to say her name
"Nerea, guardian of Wolf's Den and loyal servant of Lord Stark, Lord Jon is waiting for you, over here," said the aforementioned Nerea, before directing her gaze to Ginny, Ron and the twins
"Harry asked me to inform you that he is in the training room, near the lake, follow this little light and it will lead you to him," said the beautiful woman, at the same time that a small will-o'-the-wisp appeared and began to float towards another part of the castle
Ginny did not hesitate and walked behind the magical light, eager to see Harry and behind her, the twins and Ron did the same, still amazed looking at everything around
"This way, Lord Jon waits," Nerea said, as she began to float towards the castle, being followed by Arthur, Molly and their two eldest children
“A question Lady Nerea, do you have any idea about the reason for this meeting?” Arthur asked with a lot of respect
The woman, without stopping, simply replied
"Yes, Lord Jon has certain projects that need specialized wizards, a specialist in dragons and Wards, to be exact, however, Harry has spoken very well of you to Lord Jon, so he decided to make you an offer."
Such words surprised Arthur greatly, even more so, considering that Lucrecia Malfoy was one of Jon Stark's witches
Several minutes later, and after a tour of the immense castle, they arrived at what Arthur assumed was the young Lord's office, which opened slowly, giving them a glimpse of an immense room
And although Lord Stark was present, there were also four witches, two on each side of the young Lord, one was easily recognizable to Arthur, Lady Lucrecia, who looked at him with total indifference
Even contempt, but the witch was able to hide it
"Arthur Weasley, welcome," said the young Lord calmly and politely
Arthur, Molly, and their children bowed their heads in respect
"We appreciate the invitation, my lord," said the wizard
Jon nodded, as he opened his hands, pointing to the witches
"With me, my witches and future consorts of the Stark house, Maria Koslova, of the Koslova clan, one of my vassals, Bhavani, princess of magical India, daughter of Rajit Perma, a very important business ally, Fleur Delacour, daughter of Pierre Delacour, and of course, Lucrecia Malfoy," Jon said politely
All the witches nodded respectfully, even Lucrecia, so Arthur responded with the same kindness
"I'll be brief, I'm sure you have things to do, just like me, Harry has told me a lot about your family, he holds them in high esteem," said Lord Jon, at the same time that he took out some scrolls from one of his drawers
"I'm in the middle of a couple of really important projects, which require really specialized wizards, an experienced dragon caretaker and an expert in runes and enchantments, coincidentally, your two eldest sons fall into that category," Jon said, as he levitated a pair of scrolls directly towards Bill and Charlie
"What does it say, son?" Molly asked with obvious curiosity, but without wanting to disrespect the powerful Lord
Charlie looked at the letter in surprise, looking at Lord Jon and the letter again, in disbelief
“Is... a job offer, directly under the Stark house, to work here on the island, as a private dragon keeper," Charlie said, evidently overwhelmed
Those words put a smile on the face of his wife, who always resented that her children were so far from her, with this job, Charlie would work on his passion, close to his family
Bill, on the other hand, was still looking at the parchment in disbelief, completely speechless
“What does yours say Bill?” Arthur asked curiously
“A...a contract, to design and build a complex of wards on one of the lakeside lots, outside the Stark Lands, near Cranleigh," Bill said, dumbfounded at the amount of gold offered
"Your current jobs will not be a problem, as a dowry for taking Bhavani as a wife, Rajit gave me the reserve of dragons in Romania, at the same time that I chatted with Valka about your obligations at Gringotts" Jon said calmly
Arthur looked completely overwhelmed, the young Lord talked about how the father of one of his wives gave him a reserve of dragons as a dowry, while also being on friendly terms, with Princess Valka, of the goblin nation
By comparison, Arthur felt totally insignificant
Charlie and Bill looked at each other completely overwhelmed, and Arthur could understand them, agreeing to work for the Stark house would give them recognition
Both positive and negative
"We want to clarify the terms of the contract, before making a decision," Bill said firmly
And Arthur watched as Lord Jon's eyes lit up with approval
“I didn't expect less, shall we start?” said the young Lord, at the same time as he waved his hand on his desk, making that, in front of the Weasley family,
The meeting would be long, it seems
Harry Potter, Wolf’s Den
"Again," Clarissa demanded, taking her wand with great concentration and looking at her brother with a frown
Harry just looked at her with amusement and got ready, his little sister wanting to practice the techniques Sirius had taught her
They were alone, apparently, their godfather wanted to rekindle the flame with Layla, Clarissa's mother, and they had decided to spend the day together in the village
Completely disguised of course, Jon wouldn't take any chances
Daphne and Susan were visiting their respective families, Padma and Parvati were making errands for Jon, as were Hestia and Flora
So Clarissa and Harry were alone
Suddenly, the young Black heiress waved her wand elegantly, and magic began to emerge
Tentacles of blue magic were launched towards Harry, with considerable speed and strength, they were not the tentacles of Black magic, but a version of practice, to get Clarissa used to handle magic in a certain way
Harry was unaware of the technical details of the spell, they were a secret of the Black family, apparently
His sister began to attack him with full concentration, while Harry defended himself deftly, the point of the exercise was to monitor how long Clarissa could hold the spell
And his sister was getting better day by day
At first, she wasn't able to hold the tentacle for more than five seconds, and now, the record time was three minutes
Considering she was eleven years old, it was a great omen for Clarissa's magical talent
"Enough," Harry said when he saw that Clarissa could not continue
“Dobby, drink and snacks please”
In an instant, a tray with a pitcher of apple juice and some sandwiches appeared in the living room, at the same time that a curious will-o'-the-wisp appeared and behind it
The Weasleys
Having a sandwich and a glass of juice, Harry walked towards his friends with a smile
"Welcome," said the young man, glad they were here
Fred and George greeted him on a regular basis, with a bad joke but with obvious joy in his voice
Ron was more focused around him, looking in amazement and jealousy at Jon's castle
Nothing new, Harry thought with disappointment
But Ginny
The young redhead did not look at the castle, her hazel eyes looked at Harry wide open and with an extreme blush on her face
"Is everything okay Ginny?" Harry asked with amusement
The young witch squealed and just nodded, embarrassed, but unwilling to stop looking
However, the moment was interrupted by the twins
"Harry, do you know the reason for the meeting? Dad and mom looked surprised and worried," they both said
Harry simply nodded and replied
"Yes, Jon is working on some projects, and he needs the support of a dragon expert and a ward expert, Bill and Charlie fall into that category and I recommended them to Jon," said the young Potter as he shrugged, focusing on his sandwich
"I didn't know you lived here," Ron said with a frown
Harry looked at him in surprise and simply shrugged his shoulders
"I've lived with Jon since the last Yule, thanks to Merlin," Harry said, thinking of his stupid relatives
"And it's the best, Jon is amazing, and Wolf's Den is immense, there's always a lot to do, one day we take a ride on the grounds on horses, the other we swim in the lake or in the huge magic pool under the castle or like today, we practice our spells" Clarissa said with a smile, looking at Ron in a peculiar way
Similar to how she looked at Romilda
The more words the young Black said, the more bitter Ron's face became
However, Harry had no interest in his friend's unhealthy jealousy, so he decided to focus entirely on Ginny and the twins
"Do you want a Tour? I can take you all over the castle, with the exception of the wolf tower, we can even go to the lake" Harry said trying to change the subject
Fred and George, being able to read the situation, agreed instantly, as did Ginny, and together, the whole group began the tour
With Harry and Clarissa in front, and Ron behind
“What was that?” Harry asked his sister in a whisper, far from the Weasleys' ears
The young Black shrugged her shoulders and replied
"That was the task of a younger sister eliminating what a brother does not need," said the young woman with total sincerity
Harry frowned and replied
"He's my friend," although he knew his words sounded weak
Clarissa, looking at him with determination and cunning, replied
"Is he friends with Harry, my brother? Or is he a friend of the boy who lived and his adventures? said the observer girl
And unfortunately, Harry didn't have the answer
Aemon Targaryen, bellow Wolf’s Den, that night
The meeting with the Weasleys was a success, in the end, both wizards agreed to the contract and would begin their duties in January
Giving Jon enough time for his visit to the Hebrides
However, before he began his journey, he had something important to do
"What are we doing here, Jon?" Lucrecia asked curiously, looking around at the cave that she didn't know existed, accompanied by the rest of Jon's witches
All of them
"We must talk about the meeting with Lorenzo Vallens and why he accepted Rossana as my wife and more importantly, about the Targaryen house," he said firmly
At those words, they all remained silent, expectant, it was true that they were resentful of the acceptance of the offer, but they would give him the benefit of the doubt
"Have you ever wondered about my family, my parents?" asked Jon, as he began to walk towards a huge cave, illuminated by the beautiful moon
"Yes, although we never wanted to pressure you to tell us anything, we suppose it's a complicated issue," Lucrecia said, causing nods around
Jon didn't answer, he just stroked Frigg's head gently
"My mother, was Lyanna Stark, maiden of winter and daughter of House Stark, it is thanks to her and her blood, that I can claim the lordship of House Stark and Wolf's Den as my home," Jon said, at the same time as he manifested the ring of the wolf lords on his hand
They were all silent, waiting for the next words
"And your father?" asked Fleur, knowing a little more than the rest of the witches
At that moment, on Jon's other hand, a different ring was manifested, another lordship, this one was red with black ornaments
"My father was Rhaegar Targaryen, prince of Dragonstone, the last of a race of powerful blood wizards, capable of taming the greatest magical force in nature," Jon said, focusing directly on the cave, at the same time, from the shadows, the largest dragon of the group emerged, with white scales and red wings, looking at Jon with curiosity and desire, as if he was pleased that this moment had come
All the witches were silent, eager to know more
“Jon, was the name that my uncle, Eddard Stark, gave me, that man took care of me and raised me, when my parents were no longer there, however, my real name, the one that my mother and father gave me at birth, is another”
When he finished speaking, Jon stretched out his hand and calmly, said in a loud Valyrian
“Likiri”
All the witches watched in amazement as the dragon obeyed the order of their beloved, descending from the rocks to place his huge snout in Jon's hand
"My name is Aemon Targaryen, prince of Dragonstone, scion of old Valyria, champion of the First Men, a Dragon Lord, heir to the Iron Throne and rightful king of Westeros, in the kingdom of Vanaheim," Aemon said to himself, with firmness and determination in his voice
As he said those words, the dragon roared loudly, shaking the cave completely and letting out a powerful white flame, which lit up the cave
All the witches couldn't help but shudder and look at Jon, Aemon, in surprise
"I support you," Lucrecia said firmly, walking towards her beloved
Aemon looked at her in surprise, and Lucretia continued
"You have my support, and I'm sure the support of the rest of the witches in your service my love, but I want the truth, all of it," Lucrecia said
Aemon looked at her with determination and warned
"Once you know the truth, everything will change, forever," warned the handsome magician, while caressing the imposing dragon
"Good, many times change is good," said Fleur, walking towards Aemon
"We are your witches Jon, or Aemon, it doesn't matter, we are on your side and we belong to you, but we can only help you if we know everything," said Bhavani with determination, curious at the mention of the term "dragon lord"
"My clan and I exist to serve you my lord," Maria said, at the same time that Chiara and Penny nodded, reaffirming their loyalty to Aemon
Leaving only one witch in particular
Jon stared at his little nymph, who was staring at him in amazement
"If you stay, there will be no turning back, you will be mine, forever and the Stark and Targaryen secrets should not be revealed to anyone," Jon warned
Tonks was silent, staring blankly, her first six months as a cadet at the Auror academy had left her... disappointed
The ministry was disgusting, full of corruption and abuses of power, three captains had insinuated themselves to her, warning that, if she wished to go far, she should begin to please them
Tonks simply snorted, she had an owner and was in front of her, what was the ministry to the power and control of House Stark and this mysterious house Targaryen
So, without any qualms, Tonks removed the auror brooch from his chest and threw it to the ground indifferently, at the same time as she walked towards Aemon
"I am yours my wolf," she said with determination and liberation, to Lucrecia's evident pleasure
Apparently, her fantasy would be fulfilled
The young Lord smiled calmly and just nodded, preparing for a long talk
It would be a long night
"It all begins, on a distant continent, called Westeros, ruled by certain families and..."
The rest of the night, Jon talked and talked, and all the witches listened, attentive and amazed, absorbed by the young Lord's fantasy tale
Things would change, that was evident
After all, it was now much more apparent that Aemon was more than just a Lord
Aemon Targaryen or Jon Stark, was a king
And they would be the best queens and consorts he could ever need
At the end of the explanation, and near dawn, Lucrecia could not help but ask
“And will you come back? Will you take the throne that belongs to you? Will you conquer it like this Aegon Targaryen?” said the beautiful woman with interest in her voice
"We'll go with you, if that is your decision" said Fleur, absorbed by the story of her beloved dragon's family
Aemon sighed and replied
"I must find a way to make the travel, according to Nerea, the Stark files contain the secret, but I haven't found anything yet," she said in frustration
"We will help you, and in due time we will serve you and fight with you, to conquer that which was stolen from your family," Bhavani said with emotion and desire
The rest simply nodded, showing their approval
Aemon smiled with gratitude and excitement, the dragon house would awaken, stronger than ever
And he would take what was taken from them, with the only coin his ancestors knew
Fire, and blood
