Thinking to himself for a moment Magnus raised his hand with his detector ring on it thinking that perhaps it was a charm at work to make him drawn to buy the bird, but none of the gems on the ring lit up.
He frowned and stepped closer to the bird and looked at it with intrigue, and watched in amusement as it tilted its head at him, he smirked and nodded.
"You perfect," he said and lifted the cage down from its hook gently as Andromeda came around the corner.
"Made your choice?" Andromeda asked seeing him with the cage.
Magnus nodded, "Yeah, he'll be perfect for my owl," he said as he held up the cage for her to take a look.
Andromeda made an O with her mouth as she saw him, "Oh my, what usual colours for such an owl, but he is very handsome looking, do you have any idea what you will call him?" she asked.
Magnus looked to be in thought for a moment before nodding, "Erebus, from the Greek Primordial deity representing the personification of darkness". This seemed to get another head tilt from the discoloured owl.
Andromeda raised an eyebrow, "Erebus... it suits him, even if it is a tad unusual" she smirked and turned heading to the front.
Magnus followed closely behind her with his new owl as he tried to go over things in his head about what was next to do when he got back to the manor when suddenly there was another voice in his head.
'Thank you for the very fitting name, young-wizard, not many would give such a name to an owl.'
Magnus stalled in his steps but quickly fell back into his stride so as not to let the sudden happening be known to those around him, 'Erebus?' he thought mentally.
'Yes young wizard you are hearing my voice inside your head, though we are not bonded yet, I hope to do that shortly with you, it is only because of our close proximity that I am able to speak with you like this' the voice said.
Magnus looked down at the owl and raised his eyebrow, 'I take it that you aren't a normal owl then?'
Erebus seemed to slightly shake its head, 'No I am not, but it would be best if we were in private for me to reveal my true form, and for us to bond properly, but might I request that you purchase a perch for a much larger avian, I have been cramped in this cage for so long.'
Magnus seemed to smirk at the comment and chalked up the next thing on his to-do list as he made the necessary purchases.
Much to Andromeda's confusion before they left the store to meet up with Tonks before they apparated back to the manor.
---------
The three appeared on the streets outside the manor, both women looked around, Tonks was confused, "Um mom what are we doing here, I thought you were taking us to the manor" she asked looking around.
Andromeda nodded, "I was but all I can seem to remember is this street," she said before looking to Magnus.
"I take it's because of some form of magic over the manor?" she asked unable to remember what was the reason.
Magnus nodded to her before speaking aloud to them both, "Black manor is located at number twelve Grimmauld Place"
Tonks looked to him for a moment as his words registered before she looked ahead and her eyes widened, "Wow, where the hell did that come from" she said shocked as if seeing the manor for the first time.
Andromeda groaned and held her head as something seemed to fall into place and she looked up seeing the manor as well.
"I see, I remember now, the manor was hidden by a Fidelius Charm, when I was cast out of the family all knowledge of it was sealed in my mind so I couldn't betray the family any further… it certainly looks a lot more run down than I remember."
Magnus nodded, "Yeah just what I thought when I first saw it, the inside isn't much better, but I have arranged with Gringotts for a surveyor to come out in the next couple of days to do a quote on how much it would cost to see the manor restored to its original state...."
".... and I have another meeting with House-elf breeders to purchase a pair of new elves to keep the house in good working order, Kreacher is getting too old to do it himself."
Andromeda groaned, "Kreacher, I had almost forgotten about that monstrous little elf, is he still as foul-mouthed as I remember?"
Magnus shrugged as they walked towards the manors doors, "He seems alright with me, but I think that's something to do with him serving my dad before me and to do with my Heirship of the house of Black, he's treated me rather well...."
".... I even had him restock the pantry and clean the kitchen up last night, it, the library and my bedroom are probably the only three well-kept rooms in the house at this point,"
Opening the door the three stepped in and Tonks gave a whistle, "Yeah I can see what you mean, this place could really do with a good clean out and some major renovations," she said as she looked around.
Andromeda gave a sigh, "Home sweet home," she said with a droll, "Doesn't look like much has changed but the dust since I last set foot in here," she said not sounding one bit impressed.
Magnus nodded, "I didn't think it would have, so what do you two want to do first?" he asked them.
Andromeda gave a smirk, "I think I'm going to go have a word with my dear old auntie, I can't wait to rub it in her face about this, she took a little too much pleasure in blasting me off the family tapestry, just wait till she finds out that I've been welcomed back."
