Twenty minutes later I had gone through each of the trunks and chosen the best one I could find. It was large with a thick dragon hide finish and came with a number of features.
It was both fire and water proof, had a deterrent charm so people would stay clear of it, a weightless charm so that it would be easy to carry, a security charm linked to my own magic which was linked to a penalty charm that would stun anyone who tried to open it who wasn't me.
A concealment charm that kept the interior and its contents invisible to anyone when active so I wasn't worried about someone seeing what was inside it when I wasn't around.
It also had a self-shrinking charm on it so I could shrink it to the size of a match box and put it in my pocket.
The reason I chose it was because not only did it offer the most space but it also had a number of rooms I knew I would find useful.
A potions lab with a large ingredients store, a huge training room with a build in dueling ring, a combined large library and office space, on top of living quarters with a kitchen and pantry, and a master bedroom with bathroom and large closet space. It was practically a house on wheels.
With my trunk shrank and in my pocket I had started to browse through the heirlooms, keeping my hands to myself as I did so.
I didn't want to risk touching anything knowing how nefarious and dangerous some of the items might be, and last thing I wanted was to be cursed by touching the wrong thing.
I was looking for the pocket watch that Orion had told me about and it was proving difficult to find.
Only when I came into the jewelry area did I finally come across it, it was in a display case along with a number of other pieces, broaches and necklaces, and other pieces that looked expensive.
I noticed they were all tagged with different labels and before I picked up the watch I took a quick glance at its label and my eyes widened, "Time dilation pocket watch".
My mind started to race thinking just what that meant. Was this something similar to a time turner?
I wasn't sure I wanted to mess with that kind of thing. But all the same it would be a waste to pass up something that could aid me.
Hermione had used such magic to advance her education in her third year, or she would, surely this could do the same for me.
With a nod I lifted the pocket watch and placed it in my pocket, but before I closed the lid I stopped to browse some of the other tags to see what the other pieces were capable of.
Getting to a pendant necklace I read over the tag and my eyebrows shot up, "Legilimency barrier pendant".
Once again my mind had started to race with all the possibilities I had read in the past.
How could I have forgotten about one of the most invasive magics in the wizarding world?
If someone was to read my mind with legitimacy, they would know everything I would know in seconds, and I would be helpless to stop them.
I would have to learn to defend myself from such things, but for now this pendant would be the best place to start to at least give me advanced warning about such an attack.
Taking up the pendant I looked it over, it was a black sapphire same as that of my ring, but only this one was cut into the shape of a shield with a number of small runes etched into it. It looked very impressive as it hung from the silver chain.
I quickly put it on myself and took a final glance over the other things there stopping finally on a ring that was a plain silver with three diamonds in it and reading the tag I paused for thought as I read it, "Detection ring, potions, curses, charms- Self-sizing".
Nodding to myself once more I lifted the ring out and slipped it onto my middle finger next to my heir ring.
I can't count the number of times that I've read fanfictions where people were slipped love potions or food with some magical alteration effect.
I knew it was better to be safe than sorry as I watched the ring sized itself to my finger. I would have to ask my grandparents portraits how these worked later.
After I finished looking through the enchanted jewelry I move on to the book shelves to see if I could find anything that would peek my interest.
I knew of a couple of topics that I wanted to learn already and I had several books stacked out on various subjects that caught my eye ranging from rituals, warding, ruins, battle transmutation, curses, Occlumency and potions, as well as three books that I could find on Metamorphmagus.
While I could have browsed the topics here forever I was quite wary to touch the older looking books.
When I held my hand over some of them I could feel a buzz in the air and the far right diamond on my detection ring turned black.
I didn't know what that meant but I didn't want to risk looking anymore in case I touched something that I shouldn't, until I knew more.
There hadn't been any books on heirships or lordships or anything like that. I could only assume such books were at Black manor. I would just have to buy my own copies when I went shopping later.
With the books taken care of I made my way to the potions area to look at the ingredients just out of curiosity.
I didn't plan on taking any, not this time as I didn't know if there was anything that the ministry would label dark here.
The last thing I wanted to do was to was take something like that with me and have it found on me, that would only get me in trouble, so I would just wait till I knew more about that field before taking any of them out.
