[May-21st, 1990-Malfoy Manor]
*Third Person POV*
A black-haired boy looking remarkably like Asa Butterfield is sitting in his room, sipping on his tea.
In front of the said child is another white-blonde haired boy.
----------
"What did you want to talk about, brother?" asks Draco. By now Draco seems used to the occasional summons from his brother. Through time he had realized that whenever his brother wants to talk about something, first he would start with small talk and chatter.
Then later on would come the main topic. Moreover, only important chats happen in his brother's room. If there is only some common banter, then they could have it on a snack anytime. Mostly in the study or the living room.
"Just a few things here and there. Tell me how have your studies been going these days." Vahn replies, giving a vague reply in response to Draco's query.
Draco didn't seem particularly perturbed by that and calmly replies. "I am having trouble with the eight grade studies a little, Muggle studies are tough. I don't know how could you even progress this fast in them."
Vahn simply smiles, sips on his tea then replies," It is just a matter of interest. Just like you overtook me on potions two months back"
Draco makes a complicated face while mumbling, " I am only half a year ahead of you in potions, while you are 2 years ahead of me in muggle knowledge" Vahn could only smile wryly while thinking, 'do you want me to tell you I studied all this in a past life?'
"So Draco, you remember, we talked a while back about pureblood prejudice?" Vahn asks in a serious and stern tone.
"About me respecting muggles and magical beings and the sort?" Draco replies in a tone similar to a student, while you could get a glimpse of excitement in his eyes.
"Yes, that one. What do you think? Do you think that you fulfilled the conditions I gave?" Vahn inquires with the same tone as before.
"I wouldn't be studying Muggle knowledge. As for Magical beings, you can't expect me to disrespect them when my supposed sister-in-law is a Magical being." Draco replies with a wry smile.
"True enough... I guess you do fulfill the conditions then. But what guarantee do I have that this case will remain the same even in the future?" Vahn says with a slightly less stern tone compared to before.
"Um.... how about a 'Foedera'?"Draco says in a pondering tone. "The blood pact you mean? It is a life long binding contract, one which remains even after the death of bot contractor and contractee." Vahn replies with a slight shock apparent in his voice. Whereas Draco only nods in response.
The process was quite easy. Both of them had to draw blood from their palm. Shake hands while the contractor reads the term and contractee repeats them, after which a witness says Foedera and the contract is established. In this case, the witness was Molly.
Since this is a Magical contract, as long as there is mana in the surrounding that belongs to the world, the contract will be in effect.
While this was happening, Vahn was pondering, 'whether there was mana in space too, after all, if Earth generated Mana then Space shouldn't have it. Moreover is mana also one of the causes of life. If so can other heavenly bodies generate Mana too? Shouldn't there be life there too, then?'
But after the contract establishment, Vahn looks in Draco's direction and says, " So, It is about time that I step down, isn't it?... I will have a talk after our birthday with Mom and Dad."
----------
There are many things that had happened in the past two years. First and Foremost, the thing which I was a little worried about was the death of Luna's Mom. She isn't one of my best friends but she still is a friend, and I, as a gentleman, should naturally take care of my friends.
It seems that Miss Pandora (luna's mom) took the warning quite seriously and kind of just shut herself in a room with years worth of food and a lot and I mean a lot of books. And nobody knows where the room is.
Luna seemed quite sad due to her separation from her oh-so-beloved mother. I wonder if this can also be thought of as going against fate but, there wasn't any willpower in there.
Death is supposed to be an entity in this world, I just hope that he or she doesn't take an offense to this and come after me saying where there is death, there should be death. there was also an ancient text where I found that a unicorn's sacrifice can deter death.
well, the outcome of this from what I heard is that Miss Pandora would be coming out of her self-imposed quarantine a day before June 5th in order to meet the seer on my birthday.
yeah..... unfortunately for her the seer will stay quite this time.
Now lets come to the main point. I have accumulated enough wealth to be the richest person on earth and with my own safe house that has been been given to the Goblins of Gringotts as a secret but one of the largest scale projects ever made. we will come to that later.
Right now if there is anyone who can compare to me, it should be Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. The reason I have more money in right now is my deal with Yoshiaki that till 1996, all the money he earns will be split in a 65-35 manner and that is only talking about profits. All the money that any of us invest will be cut out first then distributed.
Now the 65 is for me and after the 1990s All the different ventures he will be doing will be given to him. I also told him to give a little care to the medical industry. After all, I did almost die due to corona in 2020. And till now the history is following the same trend.
The king of Liechtenstein did try to create some problems for me, however, a little 'persuasion' and just a simple guarantee to be safely located in other areas was what made him soften up a little.
Honestly, from how annoying he was being, I was thinking of making molly obliviate him and send him on a vacation to share or the alps. But it all worked out in the end.
