Inheritance part 2

"He's perfectly fine Miss Potter, he should be waking up any minute now. Are you in any pain or discomfort" Delila let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and nodded her head in confirmation. The goblin summoned a flask with an odd-looking liquid inside, she eyes it suspiciously, making the goblin roll her eyes.

"It's pain potion" The goblin reassured, making her nod her head before Downing the drink in one, though it took everything in her not to puke it back up from the horrendous taste. The aching in her body and the pounding in her head disappeared, making her sigh in relief.

"Thank you, Ma'am"

"You may call me Tamif, Miss Potter"

"Well then Tamif, you may call me Delila" Tamif nodded with a grin before a hiss was heard from beside them. Hadrian began to stir as he let out a few groans and hisses of pain. Tamif instantly summoned another flask of pain potion as she walked to Hadrian's bedside.

"Hello Mr Potter, my name is Tamif. I have some pain reliever potion for you, your sister has already awoken" Hadrian's eyes blinked open, looking wide-eyed as he saw Tamif beside him, making his sister chuckle under her breath. Tamif handed him the potion and just like Delila, he eyed the flask with a suspicious glare.

"It's fine Hades, I already had some" Delila laughed, making him snap his head in her direction, though it was followed by a groan as he rubbed his temples.

"Take the potion, Mr Potter, then you may return to Griphooks office to claim your lord, lady and heir-ship rings" in an instant, Hadrian shot the potion down his throat and gagged at the taste. His face relaxed as the potion did its job, and he sighed in relief before smiling over at his sister, who returned it.

With a flick of Tamif's hand, their clothes appeared back on their bodies and they waved farewell, making their way back to Griphooks office.

"How do you feel?" Griphook questioned as they took their previous seats at his desk.

"I feel... Different, a good different. It's like, I feel free and more powerful" Hadrian responded with an awed smile. Delila nodded her head in agreement, she did feel more free and powerful but she couldn't help but feel nervous about what their new powers could truly do.

"I'm glad to hear that. Now, the most important part is for you both to claim your rings. You see, your circumstances are a little different to others and that's because you're twins"

"What's so special about being twins?" Hadrian asked with a confused frown, whilst Delila looked over at her brother with a raised eyebrow.

"T-That's not what I meant, I love you D" He stuttered nervously, making Delila laugh with a fond shake of her head.

"In the magical world, children are seen as a blessing. They are treated as if they are the most precious things on the planet, though not all families treat their children as such. Twins, however, are rather rare and when born, especially in prestigious families, it gives said family, a lot more power, seeing as twins usually have special abilities. If a couple had multiple children, the eldest is usually the one who claims lordship once their parents pass away or deem it time to step down. Seeing as you're twins, your family magic created two rings for each house that you inherited. Of course, you're opposite in gender so one ring will be more feminine and the other masculine" The twins listened to Griphook with the utmost attention. They found it rather fascinating and were eager to learn more about their world, the world that they were born into and should have remained.

"So, what happens when we have children? I could only assume that only one of the eldest would inherit the titles"

"Seeing how you both have inherited quite a lot of houses, it will be much easier to split. You see, only the worthy can take the title of lord or lady and if the rings deem you unworthy, then it will be returned to the vault and wait for either another sibling or a child in the future" The twins nodded their heads in understanding, though their nerves increased at the thought of being unworthy to represent their houses. They wanted to make their family proud, and by being worthy of taking leadership, they hope their parents would be smiling down at them with pride.

"We are waiting for your rings to be brought up and whilst we wait, do you have any questions?" Griphook asked as he interlocked in fingers and placed his hands on the desk.

"What's a necromancer?" Hadrian asked.

"Very powerful magical ability. We haven't had one of those for 200 years, and now we have two. You must be aware, that a lot of people are afraid of such an ability because it's known to be extremely dark magic. A necromancer is a witch or wizard who can communicate with the dead, they could even allow the dead to hover on earth as a sort of apparition of sorts-"

"Like a ghost?"

"Yes, Hadrian. It's a difficult piece of magic to practice but seeing that you already have a certain title, it would be as easy as breathing for you both. You can also create inferi, which is a corpse that had been reanimated and becomes a puppet of sorts"

"That's... Creepy" Delila whispered as she shuddered, Hadrian nodding in agreement with a deep frown.

"What does the master of death mean?" Delila questioned as she read through her parchment once again.

"Death is the being that claims souls after someone dies. It so happens, that you have become his masters, though I'm not entirely sure how. Being the masters of death and a necromancer has made you two the most powerful witch and wizard to walk this planet. You are above all laws, though I'd advise you not to test out that theory yet and if I'm not mistaken, you're able to summon death whenever you need him" the twin's remained frozen in shock before a mischievous smirk appeared on Delila's face.

"We are going to make Dumbledore pay for ever crossing us"
