Tracey nods, "Yeah I doubt that Lord Malfoy would have given it up easily, and I doubt that he's going to give up on the seat even with your claim to the position as solid as it is. He'll likely try to have you stripped of your position in favour of his son."
Magnus shook his head, "He can try but he has no legs to stand on to do so. Firstly I'm a son of a son of the house of black, which trumps Draco being the son of a daughter of the house of black."
"Second I'm directly descended from the last lord, while Draco is once removed. And thirdly I'm two months older than Draco, I will come into my majority and subsequent emancipation before him."
Tracey looks at him puzzled, "If your claim is that solid then why does Malfoy think that his father can do anything to get him the Black heirship?"
Magnus smirked, "I think we've already established the reason why that is." He said sounding rather sagely as both girls looked at him waiting for the answer, Magnus grinned, "he's a platinum idiot."
Both girls burst out into another fit of giggles at the statement that couldn't be truer.

Arriving on time the red steam engine that was the Hogwarts Express pulled into Hogsmeade station, and a few moments later the doors on the outside of the carriages opened and older students started to step out and onto the platform.
Magnus, followed by Daphne and Tracey, stepped out of their carriage into the cold air of the night all dressed in their Hogwarts uniforms.
Like some Magnus's uniform was noticeably different to others, not the style but the materials.
At a casual glance one could tell it was of a higher material than most others, and while some wore robes that were too big for them Magnus's fit him perfectly.
Looking around Magnus was instantly grateful for his choices when purchasing his uniform, as it was well worth the extra galleons for the finer materials and the charm work he had requested from the offered listings.
His entire uniform was made from acromantula silk, and his shoes were dragon skin. All of his clothing currently was charmed to be water and dirt repellent, self-repairing and was magically fitting.
While his robe had the extra added enchantment of a warming and cooling charms set to keep his temperature regulated so he didn't get too hot or too cold at any time.
No sooner were they on the platform they heard a booming voice ahead of them at the end of the platform, "First years this way, come on now first years don't be shy!"
They all turned to see the massive figure of Hagrid standing at with a lantern in his hand not that he needed it to get their attention given how large the man was.
Moving as instructed the first year students started toward the large half-giant and looking ahead of them.
Magnus could make out the messy black head of hair next to a messy ginger one and smirked realizing who it was as they started to move off the platform with the rest of the first years as the other years started to move off in a different direction.
It wasn't long before they made it to the docks on the shores of the Black Lake and Hagrid turned to face the first years again, "alright no more than four to a boat, come on now," he instructed and the students started to obey.
Magnus got into one of the boats and sat down rather carefully, this practice had always made him cringe when he thought about it.
Taking the entire group of first years to the castle on small boats pulled by the giant squid of the black lake may initially seem like a good idea.
But to Magnus it was just an accident waiting to happen, putting young children into boats and putting them out on an open body of water with no means of keeping them from accidentally falling overboard, yeah love to meet the guy who came up with that idea.
As Magnus was mentally rolling his eyes at the first year tradition both Daphne and Tracey had gotten into the boat and taken the seats behind him, that was when a voice broke Magnus out of his thought that Magnus recognised.
"Um do you mind if I sit here?" asked a female voice.
Magnus's head turned and looked up and it was only thanks to his occlumency training that he kept his shock from showing on his face. On the dock looking at him was the young bushy haired girl that all Harry Potter fans knew, Hermione Granger.
Magnus quickly caught himself on before he stalled to long, "Sure, go ahead Miss?" He offered and asked with a kind smile.
Hermione smiled as she sat down next to him, "Oh sorry, I'm Hermione Granger" she said with a smile.
Magnus nodded, "A pleasure to meet you miss Granger, my name's Magnus Black," he said with a smile before gesturing to the two behind them, "and these two lovely ladies are Daphne Greengrass and Tracey Davis." he said as he introduced them, both girls nodded to Hermione as Magnus introduced them.
Hermione nodded back with a smile before looking go, Magnus, "Black? You aren't related to one of the previous Hogwarts headmasters are you, I read about someone called Black in Hogwarts: A history?"
Magnus gave a small chuckle, "Yes the same, though I'm not sure how far back I was related to him. I do know he was a Black though there's a painting of him in my family's manor." He told her before mentally smirking 'or there was'.
Before any more questions could be asked Hagrid's voice boomed once again at the front of the peer, "Alright then, forward!" and with a jerk, the boats all started to move forward and out onto the lake.
