(Y/N) walked through Diagon Alley with his Mother beside him, the two doing their best to avoid the crowds and not get too annoyed by the stares they received from the other mortals along the way, Hagrid's presence also seemed to make more people stare at them along the way.

"Sincer, așa cum se uită acești oameni, parcă am fi o expoziție la un muzeu sau un animal rar la grădina zoologică" Alcina grumbled in annoyance as they walked, adjusting her wide brimmed hat on her head carefully.

"Da, este destul de enervant, dar nu ar fi bine să ne pierdem cumpătul, mamă" (Y/N) said to her as he held himself back from sneering at some of the people watching them, especially the people watching his mother.

"Er... sorry bu' I uh... don' know wha' yer both sayin'?" Hagrid said awkwardly as he walked behind them, wanting to keep an eye on the two as they were shopping, he had a feeling it would be a bad idea to leave them alone with so many people around.

"Ah, it's nothing to worry about Hagrid, we're just both uncomfortable with crowded places, especially when so many of the people seem to stare at us as we peruse the wares of the local shops" (Y/N) said to the hairy man who was walking with them, his Honey-Gold eyes glancing over the various signs and shops around the street.

"Aye, I un'erstand tha well enough..." Hagrid said as he also looked at the people staring at them, he knew that some of these Witches and Wizards were likely also staring at him too, he had to deal with this type of thing growing up, people giving him looks of fear and distain.

It was partly why he empathised with the Dimitrescu Lord, knowing that students and parents alike would also have such feelings toward him, he was also ashamed to admit he also thought of him badly because of him being in Slytherin, though... he'd shown himself to be responsible and at least tolerant of others and even creatures, such as when he'd learned about his friend Aragog and the Acromantula colony in the Forbidden Forest.

The three continued their walk along the street when a shop caught (Y/N)'s eye, making him stop and glance at the shop's sign, the Magical Menagerie, he then looked to the shop window, this also made Hagrid stop walking and take a look at what made the vert tall man stop walking, only to smile under his beard at the shop that caught his attention.

"What is is, my son?" Alcina asked him when she noticed that he'd stopped walking, she came over and took a look at the shop as well, it was a stone building which had the door open a crack, from inside came a strong smell of animals as well as a cacophony of squeaking, squawking, jabbering and hissing.

"What is this shop?" (Y/N) asked Hagrid as he looked at the window, where they had several tanks and cages on display, he saw Toads of various sizes and colours on display in the window, along with Rats and Spiders.

"Oh tha'? Tha' there's the magical Menagerie, ye go dere ta get yerself a pet, and pet supplied like feed an' what 'ave ye" Hagrid explained to him as he motioned to the little Animals on display, they also saw what looked like pet feed boxes too

"My son, you know how I feel about having an animal running loose in the Castle... and you know how Cassandra is" Alcina said to him with a sigh as she looked at the animals with an unimpressed look, she didn't like the look of their selection of animals on display.

"I know, mother, but it might be nice having a pet to lavish attention upon, and I'm certain Cassandra would know not to kill a pet of mine if I told her not to" (Y/N) said to her as he glanced back to her, in truth none of the animals in the window really interested him, but it would be nice to have an animal he could have as a pet, preferably not just an average animal he could just pick up back at the village.

"I will... consider it, and I will also talk with your sisters about this matter, now come along, we still have to purchase those books and any other supplies you need" Alcina said to him as she gave his arm a tug, (Y/N) nodded and kept walking with his Mother to get to the book shop.

Hagrid smiled at the two as they left before he followed after them, if the young man liked Creatures then maybe he will be a good Slytherin? Or at the very least part-way decent compared to how students from Slytherin usually were, they continued on down the street until they saw the sign for Flourish and Blotts close by and...

"Wonderful, look at all of those people crowding the shop" Alcina said with distaste as she saw the large crowd of Witches gathered in and in front of Flourish and Blotts, most of them being women of middle age or young girls.

"Is that man, Lockhart really so popular?" (Y/N) wondered to himself as he looked at the crowd with an uncomfortable frown on his face, not looking forward to trying to get his books through all of these people, when suddenly something happened inside the shop.

The two near ten foot tall aristocrats watched as people suddenly stampeded back, knocking bookshelves over and causing many, many books to tumble from the shelves and onto the people below, and in the middle of this sudden evacuation they saw two men fighting with each other in the book shop.

One of them was a pale skinned man with long blonde hair and a pointed face, dressed in well-made dark clothing and carrying a cane was brawling with a red headed man who wore a pointed hat and clothes that honestly looked like they were made of curtains.

Close to them was a family of red heads two familiar looking boys, George and Fred Weasley were cheering the man on while an older woman, likely their Mother was telling him to stop, (Y/N) also saw that Harry Potter and Hermione Granger was with that family too, he also saw Draco Malfoy was in the shop too.

"Oh blimey, 'scuse me!" Hagrid said before he waded through the watching crowd and the sea of books that had fallen from their shelves in the fight and the rush to get away, Hagrid reached the brawling adults and separated them both easily, putting an end to the fight.

"Perhaps we should return at a later time, my son?" Alcina suggested as she looked at the two men with annoyance, this is exactly why Man-things are not allowed in her home except as food, they were uncultured and engaged in fist fights for such foolish reasons, making utter asses out of themselves and causing trouble for everyone around them, she was so relieved that her Son didn't behave in such a boorish manner.

"Yes, I think that may be for the best as well, Mother" (Y/N) replied to her, he wasn't too bothered about getting caught up in another potential fight between these weak, mortal men, especially over something as simple as books.

The two walked away from Flourish and Blotts and instead looked around at the other shops on the street, (Y/N) would go and buy himself some Potion ingredients from the local Apothecary, and return to buy those books when the crowd had died down.

The two went and bought the Potion Ingredients, (Y/N) had seen a few potions in the books he had purchased that he wished to try and brew sometime, like ones that effect emotions, which, if he was right with his theory... could help to make the blood they drink taste even better, maybe the flesh too? He was also curious how his family might react to tasting Salamander Blood too.

They had also returned to Flourish and Blotts later on, when Lockhart had finished his book signing and bought the collection of books on the school's supply list, the titles looked more like what you'd find on a series of children's books than the kind used in classrooms, though... considering the age of the students these books are for it might make sense.

The two finished their shopping trip and made their way to the nearest Floo Station, the two European giants were both rather glad to have finished up this trip and were both eager to return home, (Y/N) so he can get started with these books and his other things that he had bought today, and his Mother was just eager to return home and have some of her special Sanguis Virginis while listening to her records.

THE DAY OF DEPARTURE, CASTLE DIMITRESCU

It was finally the day for (Y/N) to return to Hogwarts for his Second Year at school, he had woken up very early that morning and was currently making sure that he had packed everything he would need for his time at Hogwarts, this time he had packed his Robes and some changes in clothes for the holidays and weekends at Hogwarts, when they didn't need to wear their uniform robes, though he did like to be shirtless when he would stay in his own room for the day.

He has spent the last few days reading thee books he had purchased diligently, mostly the Standard Book of Spells he'd purchased, he had also read through Lockhart's books too and had a feeling that the stories were most definitely embellished to make him look or sound better than in the situation, though he'd not met the man before so he didn't really know enough to make his own conclusions.

(Y/N) also thought about what he might learn this year, perhaps he could learn magic that was a bit more... impressive, like learning how to call down a bolt of lightning from the sky, or turn himself into a fire breathing Dragon.

"Perhaps I could ask professor McGonagall if there is a spell that could transform a person into a Dragon?" (Y/N) said to himself as he thought more about that spell, he did already have the transformation bestowed upon him as a gift by Mother Miranda, and the Black God, it certainly gave him size and power and flight but... it would be good to also have a flaming breath as an extra weapon to use.

His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at his bedroom door.

"L-Lord, the Mistress and your sisters ask that you come down to the dining room for breakfast" the voice of one of his Mother's maids called out through the door, the young man smiled to himself and stepped away from his travelling trunk that was sat on his bed, he closed and secured the latches on his trunk before walking to the door and leaving his room, (Y/N) made his way down to the Dining Room and opened the doors to see his three beloved sisters and his Mother sat at the table waiting for him, he went and took his seat next to his Mother, opposite to his sisters.

"There you are, (Y/N), come, let us enjoy this meal together before you depart for another year of school" Alcina said to him with a smile, Bela, Cassandra and Daniela also looked happy to see him arrive, eager to enjoy some delicious food together before he had to depart.

He went to his seat and joined his family as the maids served up their breakfast, as well as goblets of blood-laced wine for them all to drink along with their bloody meat and selections of fruits and treats that were made for them by their cooks.

The family ate their food in peace, the sound of cutlery stabbing and cutting flesh as well as the sound of the family enjoying their meal and wine together, as well as some good conversation, soon they had finished eating their breakfast and the family each stood up from their seats.

"Alright, come along (Y/N), it's time for us to make our move" Alcina said as she finished dabbing at her lips with a napkin, (Y/N) nodded and stood up from his seat and walked to the door to the Main Hall, the doors were opened allowing the two giant Aristocrats to walk into the Main Hall, where (Y/N) saw his trunk sat by the sofa as well as his very long cloak and hood, which would protect him from the sunlight.

He quickly threw on his cloak, his hood still down as he picked up his trunk and walked with his Mother to the Bedchamber, when they arrived they saw the remnants of green flames fade as Melinda Gordon stood in the room, waiting for them to arrive.

She was wearing what looked to be muggle clothing this time around, she wore a white button up shirt, a sheepskin jacket to help her keep a bit warm in the September weather, a skirt that went down to her knees and a pair of platform shoes, she also carried an umbrella with her too, her long dark hair hung down to chest level too.

"Hello there, (Y/N), Miss Dimitrescu, are you both ready to go?" Melinda asked the two as she gave them both a friendly smile, which showed her pearly white teeth.

"Yes, we are more than ready to set off to that city" Alcina replied to the Ministry Witch as she placed her wide brimmed hat upon her head, carefully adjusting it so that it would both cover her from the sun and look good too.

"Alright, right this way" Melinda said as she turned around and stepped into the enlarged fireplace, she turned around to face them as Lady Dimitrescu approached and ducked her way into the chamber of the Fireplace, making certain to not touch the soot covered walls of the chimney, (Y/N) went to step in before he felt three pairs of arms latch onto him, his little sisters giving him a goodbye hug each.

"See you soon, big brother" Daniela said as she hugged onto him around the neck, her body hanging off of his neck as she held onto him, his arm instinctively supporting her.

"I hope your time at that man-thing school goes well..." Bela said to him as she hugged into his left side, smiling as she hugged onto him.

"And, please bring back something nice for us to hunt and eat, Big Brother?" Cassandra asked him as she looked up to him with her Yellow eyes gleaming with repressed bloodlust and sadistic thoughts.

"Cassandra" their Mother said, giving her a warning look as (Y/N) laughed at Cassandra's request, he then gave each of his sisters a kiss on the tops of their heads, before he picked up his school trunk and joined the two women in the Fireplace.

"Alright, ready?" Melinda asked them both, smiling at the cute interaction between (Y/N) and his sisters, the two giants looked down to her with their Honey-Gold eyes and nodded in response to her question, Melinda then took a small pinch of the sparkling Green powder.

"Diagon Alley!" Melinda called out loudly and clearly as she threw down the powder, and the three of them were enveloped in Emerald Green flames, they of course kept their arms tucked in close to their bodies and all closed their eyes.

The three stepped out of the Flames into the Floo Station in Diagon alley, the air was cold and they could see that it was quite early in the morning in England, they had a short while to get to King's Cross Station.

"Scourgify" (Y/N) said as he used his Magic to clear the soot from himself and the two women as they stepped out of the Floo Station, his mother thanking him for cleaning off the dirt while Melinda looked at him in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to learn a charm like that so early, did you read ahead for the next few years?" Melinda asked him in surprise, though grateful for having her outfit cleaned of soot and grime.

"Yes, I am quite eager to gain more knowledge and power, I want to make sure I learn all I can and become powerful" (Y/N) said as he glanced to his Mother, who smiled and nodded to him in approval, any progress he makes only proves the Dimitrescu Family's right to their Noble titles, and only raises their standing with Mother Miranda and the Black God.
