As I continued to live with the sins, we got closer and I realized how the group worked.
- Zel was a total foodie but was mostly chill. She had a sort of rivalry with Asmoeous as she often taunted him but it was more one-sided. She and Asmodeus were also pretty good friends with them supporting each other when needed.
- Sate was often chill and rarely cared, but when someone annoyed him too much they would feel his wrath.
- Bell was king of laziness and she was chill too. She and Sate would sometimes work together on some weird projects.
- Levia was the kindest soul out of all of them, and she would get Zel and Asmodeus out of the house and unfortunately, into a bar. Though she always stays far away from the bars somehow they always end up in one.
- Asmodeus would flirt with everyone and say sweet words. Surprisingly enough he'd never had a partner. Though he often hung out with Zel and Levia he was also good friends with Mammon and Lucifer.
- Mammon would act cold and irrational in public when he actually was such a puppy. He would follow Lucifer around like a lost dog and he was kind to his close friends.
- Lucifer was often cold to everyone but me and he reminded me of a character I'd seen in a...manga? I think it was a manga. I can't quite remember his name though. Though Lucifer would never admit it, I'd seen him pet Mammon's head and give him a cookie and my heart actually took a hit.
All of the sins also had their talents. For example:
- Zel was best with earth magic, healing, poisons, and magic in general.
- Sate was best with hand-to-hand combat and any body-related training.
- Bell was best with air magic, guns, and history.
- Levia was best with herbology, water magic, care for magical creatures, and taming.
- Asmodeus was best with occulmency, curses, rituals, and weapons.
- Mammon was best with fire magic, DADA, forging, enchanting, and runes.
- Lucifer was best with business, government, occulemency, legitimacy, and traditions/customs(Though he was also exceptional with other magic)
"My lord?" said Lucifer, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I said as he looked at me nervously. He was rarely ever nervous, so this came as a surprise to me.
"M-may I please be your butler and/or secretary," he said, looking down at his feet.
"Why do you want to be my butler?" I said raising an eyebrow.
"W-well y-you have a lot on your p-plate and I w-wanted to be of s-some assistance"
"You don't need to be my butler to do those things."
"B-but it would make it official."
I stared at him in contemplation thinking hard about what he just said. I sighed knowing I had no reason to refuse his, not going to lie, weird desire.
"Do as you wish," I said waving my hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It'd been just over a month since I'd moved to the black manor and I've got to say I've been loving it. I'd tamed and made peace with all the animals in the forest and I'd read 1/3rd of the books in the library.
House elves from all my estates have moved into the black house and we got them all matching uniforms, with Kreacher's having a "Head Elf" crest.
I'd built up some influence in Knockturn Alley and I now owned 10% of it not including the sins portions and I'm hoping to own 30% of it alone by the end of December, giving me power over 65% of the alley including the sins portions.
While I was in the library I'd done some research on runes and I have to say, they're complicated. There is a specific runic alphabet that I had to go into the depths of the black library to find.
The problem with runes are, is that it isn't as straightforward as any other language I'd learned.
Every single letter was a word on its own and if you coupled it with another letter the word would change and/or evolve.
It reminded me of Japanese but this time I wasn't able to use something like Hiragana to start with, so that was a downside.
As I sat on a throne that Kreacher gave me (he insisted that every future dark king needs a throne), I patted Wren's head and looked at the letter that was sent that morning. Unfortunately, it was from Lucius Malfoy.
He wanted to have a meeting with me. Yay, great, just what a man needs on their favorite day of the week.
I gave Wren a letter that accepted the invitation and told him to go to Malfoy manor.
I stood up and almost tripped on Mammon who was twitching on the floor. "What are you doing down there?" I asked looking at him weirdly.
"M-my lord, you crucio'd me earlier when I walked into the library," he said in between gasps for air.
"I did?" I said thinking back to while I was reading. I shrugged my shoulders dismissing the thought.
I snapped my fingers, summoning the rest of the sins. They kneeled in front of me bowing their heads.
"I'm canceling the rest of your training today," stated, causing them to give me curious glances. "Instead, prepare to visit Malfoy manor at 8:00 PM."
I handed them some custom dress robes, that I had made for visits like this. "There enchanted," I explained as Zel gasped feeling the magic on them. "I put on advanced physical, mental, and magic protection. Some of the best I've ever done"
"Don't disappoint me," I said smiling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As we left for Malfoy Manor, I imagined myself as an eight-year-old again, as I was not sure which form I was in.
When we got to the outside of Malfoy Manor I reminded the sins to put on their hoods and strengthen their occulmency barriers.
As I knocked on the door I took in a deep breath, letting my occulmency take away any and all of my emotions.
When the door creaked open I saw a dressed-up Narcissa Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy open the door.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," I said nodding my head towards Lucius and kissing Narcissa's hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well," Mr. Malfoy replied nodding.
"Please, come inside," Ms. Malfoy insisted, smiling at me warmly.
As I walked in I followed Mr. Malfoy to a large dining table, a boy 'my age' with gelled back hair. His hair was going to be oh so very damaged in the future, I just know it.
As I took a seat at the dinner table I accessed all the food in front of me, having an internal battle with myself on if I should eat it or not.
I ended up deciding not to, knowing that the people in this room were cautious and didn't necessarily like me. There was a high chance they wished to poison me, maybe with a truth potion like Veritaserum, or with something else that might weaken my mental barriers.
We sat in silence for many minutes, the Malfoy parents watching me, as well as the kid who sat across from me. Though I guess I shouldn't be calling him a kid since we're about the same age.
The only sound audible was the occasional water going down one's throat, chewing of a piece of food, and the scratching on utensils on plates.
I decided to access the people here quietly, guiding my magic to interact with their shadows. Making it possible for me to gauge their strength.
Lady Malfoy is fairly strong but still weaker than any of the sins. This, of course, was to be expected.
The kid beside me was strong for his age and had some potential. However, his personality seemed to be greatly flawed. If possible I would like to guide him and help him become a powerful ally.
Lord Malfoy exceeded my expectations, being powerful enough to give me a fairly large injury if he tried hard enough. That of course, is without the sins. Oh, how I love being 'overpowered' as the sins often called it.
I would have to move ahead in my schedule and bring up my plan to do my 7th-year ritual earlier on. Although I still need to work on my other projects too.
I can't be dumb like Dumbledick. I will not allow it.
After studying the Malfoy kid again, I saw something awfully peculiar. With another look, I realized that Dumbles had of course messed with this kid.
My face hardened and words raced through my mind, plans on how to tell the Malfoy parents. I, for one, felt uncomfortable leaving Dumbledore another pawn to manipulate.
My brain was immensely tired after all the shit I'd had to do that day so mentally ordered Zel to get me a cup of coffee from this muggle company that I absolutely adored.
When she got back she let her presence be known and handed me the cup silently. I waved her off and drank the coffee, completely forgetting that the Malfoys were still there.
And yes, I know it's rude to bring outside food to a dinner party, or whatever this was, but I didn't care. Coffee was more important.
Lord and Lady Malfoy looked at me shocked, and I struggled to keep a small smile from forming on my face.
Quickly they hid their shock and fell into deep thought.
I sighed and sent a mental transmission to let their presence be known without the use of their aura.
The seven sins 'appeared' behind me and I took a large sip of my coffee.
Quickly taking the initiative, Lord Malfoy asked "May we have a proper introduction with the wizards behind you?"
"I do believe you all have met before, and I do not feel any obligation to add to what they have previously said. They are my subordinates, simple as that, and their backings are something I do believe you can find out yourself." I said carefully, glancing over at Lord Malfoy to see his reaction.
He seemed shocked to have heard an eight-year-old boy speak such words, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Not the most interesting reaction I've ever gotten.
That's why I added more to my sentence.
"Maybe I would change my mind if I get a reason as to why heir Malfoy here has some blocks and compulsions put on him by a certain Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore."
Silence filled up in the room and a loud "WHAT!" came out of Lucius Malfoys mouth. His hands banging onto the table knocking some of the plates onto the floor and shattering a few of them.
He had completly lost his composure.
"What do you mean by that?" Narcissa asked, keeping what little of her composure she had left. Her voice was incredibly strained.
The Malfoy heir just looked at me with a pale face, and suspisous eyes. He was easier to read than a book.
"I'm not going to repeat myself. Check yourselves if you don't believe me." I replied in a nutrel tone, rolling my eyes.
They just staired at me there minds still processing the information.
"Sorry I think my patience is at the bottom of this coffee cup, hold up." I drank the rest of the coffee cup and looked at them with an expectant look in my eye.
Hurridly they got prepared to do a compulsion and block test on Draco.
Meanwhile I gave my coffee cup to Zel so she could get it refilled. Every single fucking diety knew I needed it.
The parents gave me looks that basically said 'You better not be shitting me or else,' and I just rolled my eyes savoring the tatse of the coffee on my tongue.
As the results came out everyones in houses faces, save mine of course, became a such a pale shade of white, I could just put them in a coffin and it'd be a done deal.
Hell they could come out of the coffin saying that they ain't dead and no one would believe them.

I Whistled after seeing all that and took another sip of my coffee. "Dumbledicks out done himself. Why do people always call him the master of light or something when what he's doing is worse than what most dark lords would do?"
I shrugged it off and looked at the Malfoys who were just standing there in silence.
So are you going to get the blocks off or...?
