Chapter 8: Narcissa Malfoy! Part-3

{Gringotts, Diagon Alley, London}

{23rd June 1991}

...

The silence lasted for a moment before Glothyook opened the drawer and pulled out a bowl. The bowl looked like it was just made out of marble but to Rigel's senses he could feel several glowing figures carefully etched onto it. While he watched as the goblin proceeded to pull out several more things, Narcissa watched his reactions.

'Either he's a very good actor or this is really his first time doing this. But if it is the first time doing a bloodline trace, why isn't he afraid of the outcome.' Narcissa thought, to her Rigel's actions and threat had been a surprise. 

At the same time, his actions didn't make sense. On one hand, he was surprisingly intelligent, it could be inferred by the way he twisted the 'Bloodline theft' logic against her. But then how did he even know to use it, was it a shot in the dark, but the confidence in his eyes seemed so real?

'He's calm and collected even in the face of his own desires. He found a weakness and he pressed hard...' Narcissa thought and a spark of interest did arouse inside her. In addition, the thought of using his heritage to dominate him excited her even more, she could see his confident look break as he writhed in pleasure beneath her.

...

"I need seven drops of your blood," Glothyook grunted as he held a knife that was 'glowing' in his hands.

Rigel focused on the knife and a popup appeared in front of him startling him somewhat, after reading through it he presented his right hand to Glothyook.

...

[Inferior Ritual Knife (Uncommon): A Ritual knife enhanced with self-healing properties. Any wound inflicted by this knife would heal itself after a while.

+ Minor Heal enhancement]

...

*Slash*

With no hesitation and with a hint of aggression, Glothyook poked the knife against Rigel's index finger, and immediately, blood began dropping from the wound. After seven drops, Rigel pulled his hands back and watched as he saw his blood glide across the surface of the marble bowl. Before he could see several runes glowing, several of them started dimming, and several others started shining brighter than ever. 

The number of runes changed 7 times and each time a different combination of magic flowed into the pool of blood that had now settled at the bottom of the ritual bowl. Rigel focused his attention on the ritual bowl, and this time, he was ready for the popup of info that appeared.

...

[Bloodline Trace Ritual Bowl (Rare): A Ritual Bowl enchanted to trace the bloodlines of the 77 founding families that built the Braitain Magical government, Wizengamot. The 539 Runes etched onto the Ritual Bowl have been configured to recognize the magic present in the blood and can successfully trace the bloodline back seven generations.

The 100% accuracy is only limited to the parent's magic, after that only the name of the house could be detected.]

...

'Did the goblin really need to use 7 drops of blood...' Rigel thought as he watched the process with narrowed eyes. It looks like he had rushed through the acceptance of the goblin's request while he was still celebrating his victory over Narcissa.

"I didn't need to donate 7 drops of blood did I?" Rigel asked. 

Narcissa gave him a small smile again, her stoic expression crumbling once again as she leaned back comfortably in her chair. Her cleavage bulged as Rigel's eyes shifted down. 

'I need to be careful with her, whatever she had planned likely needed my full lineage to be revealed. Whether it was to dissolve any attempt to claim the position at the heirship of the House of Black or for something else I don't know...' Rigel thought. 

'Heh, once he is revealed as a half-blood or descendant of a squib, there would be no reason for Arcturus Black to make a comeback. Last I heard he was on his deathbed anyway...' Narcissa thought as she fluttered her eyes at Rigel. According to her, the chances of Rigel being a pureblood were zero. Due to his family influences, Sirius wasn't that interested in dating the privileged class like he used to call them. And Regulus was really too pure to go fiddling around with anyone before his marriage. Judging by the fact that he was so reluctant during the core expansion ritual.

While Rigel and Narcissa were playing their little game, Glothyook poured the blood down onto an enchanted parchment. Feeling the mana that the paper was releasing as it absorbed the blood he turned his attention back to the important matter.

His blood started squiggling on the parchment before it was slowly absorbed. A moment later, letters started appearing on the paper and all three of them leaned forward to read.

...

'''Birth Name: Rigel Perseus Black

Father: Regulus Arcturus Black {Deceased}

Mother: Cynthia Marlowe Gaunt {Deceased}

Grandfather I: Black

Grandfather II: Gaunt

Grandmother I: Black

Grandmother II: ~

Great-Grandfather I: Black

Great-Grandfather II: ~

Great-Grandmother I: Black

Great-Grandmother II: Gaunt

...'''

The list went on to trace his lineage back 7 generations as the discretion said. What was interesting though was that except for the names of his parents, the others were simply surnames. 

'The bowl was just able to trace the family magic, and Regulus, I thought that it would be Sirius because of his... tendencies to do things.' Rigel thought. While he wasn't as surprised by the result, although he was interested as to how his existence came to be.

Narcissa physically moved as if she was struck by the words on the parchment, she took a deep breath as she leaned back in her chair. The playful expression on her face vanished as she used Occlumency to quickly go through all her plans. None seemed to be viable anymore.

'Regulus... how could it be him, and who the fuck is Cynthia Marlowe Gaunt...' Narcissa frowned and Rigel caught the genuine irritation on her face. He gave her a grin as the goblin grunted.

"Lady Malfoy, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave since this conversation moving forward needed to be privileged," Glothyook spoke/grunted. His voice was still rough but Rigel could get the feeling that he was embarrassed.

'Fuck, of course, I even lost what little leverage I had over getting him dismissed as an heir candidate...' Narcissa thought, she gracefully stood up and glanced at Rigel who was admiring her barely visible thong. This time the feeling of satisfaction didn't come as his face and the smirk he was suppressing clearly told her that he was mocking her attempt.

'Fuckkkk!' Narcissa screamed in her mind as she glided out of the room. As soon as the knowledge about Rigel's attendance at Hogwarts was confirmed he became untouchable. She can't deal with him because the first family to be accused of Bloodline theft would be her own. On the other hand, she needed to make sure to keep the conservative family in line so that nobody tires anything on the boy.

'At least with Regulus, the conservative families won't be out for his blood. The chance of Black families remaining in our voting pool increases since his father was a legitimate death eater, rather than a falsely convicted one... Fuck.' Narcissa cursed one final time as she left the room, instead of leaving the bank she moved toward the Malfoy accounts manager. 

She needed a new plan.

...

On the other corner of the bank, Rigel still sat in his chair as he stared at the wizard robes that Narcissa had left behind. Her enticing fragrance still lingered in the room and after grabbing the robe, feeling it's smooth silk dance on his fingers he turned to look at Glothyook and asked.

"Well, now it seems like we have a lot to talk about don't we?"

...

------------------------------

AN - Don't worry, although Narcissa wouldn't be the first target, she will remain an important side character.

P.S.- What do you think about photos of male or other characters, should I add them or keep them female only? I'm thinking female only?

Chapter 9: Schemes and Heirship! Part-1

{Gringotts, Diagon Alley, London}

{23rd June 1991}

...

"Well, now it seems like we have a lot to talk about don't we?" Rigel spoke as he looked at Glothyook, the goblin growled and Rigel looked at his level once again.

"Alright, admit your gambit failed and we can move on. I'm not going to give you the same benefits that Malfoy promised because frankly, you don't have the same leverage anymore, your only play left is to deny me access to some funds right now. You could place hurdles for me that I acknowledge, but why don't we call it quits and focus on the benefits? I don't know much about the Wizarding World but I do know that the Gaunts are an old family." Rigel offered, he wasn't interested in what deal was in place between Glothyook and the Malfoy family right now.

'From the original novels, goblins were greedy as fuck, so I just need to be a better alternative.' Rigel concluded.

"The Gaunts were piss poor and near broke boy, so you don't have any leverage..." Glothyook grunted again, he was a lot more attentive to the conversation now compared to before.

"I mean sure, but I'm not talking about just gold am I? I don't know how your seniority works but working as the accounts manager for not one but two ancient Houses sounds like an appealing deal to me." Rigel countered. The Goblin grunted as he looked down at the parchment again, he was contemplating something.

"The heirship to the Most Ancient House of Gaunts is free, even though an heir did come around looking for any vaults that he could claim. But upon discovering that there were no Galleons left for him to spend, he denied claiming the heirship to the Most Ancient House of Gaunts." Glothyook replied, his tone lightened up slightly as he began rummaging through his desk drawers.

'Sounds like Voldemort, though why didn't he go through the political route? It never really made sense, maybe it was the Horcruxes that destroyed his simple reasoning.' Rigel thought. 

"I'm gonna contact someone who was in charge of the accounts of the Most Ancient House of Gaunts," Glothyook spoke. His tone shifted for the worse slightly after he looked through some of the papers.

"The account belonged to someone who you couldn't cut off from this process," Rigel guessed and received an annoyed glare from the goblin.

'Alright, so things might become more complicated for the moment.' Rigel thought.

"What about the Black heirship, who holds that at the moment?" Rigel asked.

"According to our records, the heirship belongs to Sirius Black, who in his will has passed it along to Harry Potter. But as a member of the Male line of the House Black, your claim supersedes Harry Potter's claim to the heirship." Glothyook responded. 

"What about Draco Malfoy?" Rigel asked.

Glothyook remained oddly silent for a couple of seconds before he finally relented. "Draco Malfoy belongs to a branch that's outside of the main family. According to Narcissa Malfoy's dowry arrangement, he would automatically take over the heirship if there are no legitimate heirs in the Black Family." 

'Huh, so was Narcissa's whole marriage a plot by Malfoy Sr. or did things just go along their way.' Rigel thought, there were too many coincidences for this situation to come along.

"Did Draco already gain the heirship?" Rigel asked if he was worried about it now since Glothyook mentioned that he could only claim the Gaunt Heirship because the previous heir refused to take it on.

'I mean surely not right, otherwise, Narcissa wouldn't be here trying to sabotage me.' Rigel guessed.

"No, the heirship ceremony could only be conducted during the Full Moon on the Winter Solstice. The heir needs to be at least 18 years old..." Glothyook replied.

'Right makes sense, but then that means that I need to be a lot more careful, since the Malfoy don't have much time to take care of my claim.'

"You talked about the claim, what is the process to file my own claim?" Rigel asked.

"Your claims were filed the moment this parchment absorbed your blood. A copy of this document will be generated in our main office and your claim will be evaluated. Depending on your age, and the validity of your claim, the heir ring would be sent to you or Malfoy on the day before Winter Solstice." Glothyook spoke.

"Alright..." Rigel spoke, there were several things that didn't make sense still.

'If just using these parchments would have started my claim then why would Narcissa and Glothyook use this method to deny me?' Rigel thought.

"Your and the Malfoy's plan was to defraud me of my inheritance, so why would you file a claim for me?" Rigel asked, try as he might he wasn't able to figure out any reason for this method that they both took.

"Lady Malfoy was sure that you won't have enough pureblood heritage within you to pass the inheritance claim..." Glothyook responded, at Rigel's puzzled look he elaborated. "Each family has different requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to be eligible for an heirship claim if the House is endangered of becoming extinct."

"...Originally the Black family had a 100% Blood purity requirement, but Arcturus Black later changed this in 1978 to a 75% limit. If you had just used one drop of blood to track your lineage, then your claim would have been filed at 100% pureblood ancestry. But since there is some muggle blood in your ancestry, your actual blood purity requirement was finally filed at 81%, enough to pass the requirements."

...

Rigel sighed as he took a sigh of relief, he had dodged a bullet unknowingly. If there were scores for his interaction with Narcissa he probably lost 3-1. 

'Her plan was simple, taking advantage of me not knowing much about this process, she wanted to make sure that I wasn't simply eligible for the heirship claim requirements. If I had just chosen the [Half-Blood] option with the house of black and a muggle-born witch as a parent then my blood purity would hang around 50%.'

Narcissa's plan was simple and effective, she just didn't anticipate that either Sirius or Regulus would have had a child with another pureblood family. 

'Her reasoning made sense, if my mother was part of another Pureblood family, my letter would not be addressed to a muggle orphanage.' Rigel thought.

"So can we talk about galleons, I have some shopping to do?"

...

--------------------------------------

{Gringotts, Diagon Alley, London}

{23rd June 1991}

Narcissa stormed into Umaenock's office. Lucious and Draco looked toward her, but before they could speak Narcissa spoke to Umaenock.

"Find out who Cynthia Marlowe Gaunt is?" Her voice was leveled and sharp.

"What happened dear?" Lucious asked after his wife finally sat down on the empty seat. He wasn't worried before but looking at Narcissa's stoic face he realized that their plan had gone south.

'Wasn't he in a muggle orphanage, and why is the Gaunt family involved in this, last I heard they were extinct.' Lucious thought.

"It was Regulus not Sirius," Narcissa snarled as he gritted her teeth, her main plan had failed and things would not be so easy anymore. If they had more time then she could think about dealing with the boy but he was going to Hogwarts in a month's time.

'Additionally, since he's Regulus's son, he's even protected by the rest of the conservative families. I have worked so hard to have the entire Black family fortune in my hands, he's not going to take it away from me now!' Narcissa thought, her mana went haywire as her eyes glowed slightly.

...

---------------------------------------

AN - I'm making Narcissa a little more dominant, it works better for the story I promise! After Gringotts, the shopping trip would start, and Rigel would meet his first target! Any guesses?
