Erebus looked to Magnus for a few moments as his reasons for the questions were made clear and the phoenix nodded again.
'Yes I can, I will be able to hide my form from Dumbledore as you plan on such he will not suspect or realise what I am until you want him to know, as for our bond, we can now talk over much greater distances, you will be able to call me from anywhere and I will know exactly.... where you are in order to go to you.'
Magnus nodded as he went over everything he could remember about phoenixes and looked to Erebus, "Is it true that you can travel with fire like wizards can apparate?" He asked checking.
Erebus nodded, 'We can, and we can also take passengers, so should you ever need to be taken from a place calling me to get you out is always an option.'
Magnus nodded again, "And a handy one at that," he said aloud before looking to the door, "Listen I've got to go for now, can we talk later, Andromeda will be waiting up in the room and I don't want her getting impatient and coming down here."
Erebus nodded, 'Very well Magnus, I will wait for your return, should you need to talk to me just think of me in your thoughts and I will hear them.'
Magnus nodded, and after leaving his shrunken clothes in his office he quickly made for the ladder and started climbing out of the trunk, only to find Andromeda sitting on one of the chairs with an old photo in her hand looking at it with fondness.
In it was a picture of a young Regulus and a young Andromeda both in their Hogwarts uniforms, she set it down as she looked to Magnus coming out of the trunk.
"Sorry, that took so long the perch was harder to set up than I thought." Magnus commented as he closed the lid to his trunk.
Andromeda nodded as she stood up, "Understandable, you could have… your bleeding." She said as she saw the cut on Magnus's hand.
Magnus looked as well and winced slightly completely having forgotten to ask Erebus if he could heal the cut for him and quickly thought up a lie.
"Oh yeah, I was a little over excited with Erebus, he didn't appreciate it apparently, and gave me a little nip, no big deal," He brushed it off, well it wasn't completely a lie as it had been Erebus who'd given him it, just not for that reason.
Andromeda gave a sigh and a smirk rolling her eyes, "Children will be children" she muttered under her breath as she took out her wand.
"Come here and let me fix that for you, you don't want to be getting blood everywhere." She said as she walked over to Magnus taking his hand up as she waved her wand over it with an utterance of 'Episkey' the wound gave a hiss before closing itself.
"There all done."
Magnus smirked, "I'm going to have to remember that one, could come in handy," he said off handily.
Andromeda smirked as she put her wand away, "Episkey, is a mild healing charm, good for small things like this but not larger things," She told him, "Now shall we go and say hello to my dear Aunt and your grandmother."
Magnus nodded, "This should be fun, but I stand by bringing you back in, your blood, my only blood still alive let her yell, I'll have her removed if she doesn't shut up about it"
Andromeda smirked, "I can see why she might have taken a liking to you," as they walked out of the room and proceeded up to the third floor.
No sooner were they one foot off the stairs was the voice of Walburga heard yelling.
"You, what are you doing in this house. How dare you set foot back inside the house that you turned your back on, you blood-traitor, Kreacher, remove this blood-traitor at once!" Walburga screeched, and in a pop, Kreacher appeared to carry out the portraits orders.
Magnus then stepped forward, "Kreacher stop, as heir Black, I order you to stop this at once."
He said his voice hard making the aged elf stop as ordered before kneeling and bowing his head to Magnus who waved his hand to the elf.
"Leave" and with that Kreacher popped away again.
Walburga's portrait looked enraged her eyes wide as she glared at the scene, "Magnus, what is the meaning for this outrage, what is that blood traitor doing in this house!" she screeched.
Magnus turned his glare on her and spoke again his tone hard, "You will be silent and listen to what I have to say before you speak on matters you know not about," he said as he unintentionally channelled magic through his voice that made it boom throughout the manor.
Walburga's eyes went wide to most it would seem out of further anger about being spoken to like that, but in actual fact.
It was out of shock and a little fear that she did so, and that kept her from speaking on the matter further waiting for Magnus to continue.
Andromeda also looked at Magnus in shock, the sudden booming voice had caught her off guard, it made her rethink her stance on the boy yet again, this being at least the fifth time since meeting him.
She just couldn't get a feel for him, and every time she did he did something else that seemed to throw her entire perception of him off.
Whether it was intended to or not didn't matter it was pissing her off a little bit, she had never had this much trouble reading someone before and it was driving her up the wall.
Magnus for his part kept a cool face at his sudden booming voice, while inside he was rather impressed with himself.
He had intended just to raise his voice a bit but that was way better than what he had intended it to be he quickly made a mental note of what he did.
So he could repeat the effect later if necessary before quickly continuing his talking a couple of moments later just long enough for the effect he wanted.
