Chapter 13 – Shopping and Schemes!

    {Diagon Alley, London}

    {23rd June 1991}

    "...I have bought you a good set of Potions ingredients, one standard cauldron, 2 sets of crystal phials, 1 standard telescope, and 1 set of brass scales. You got the wand so now all we need is your clothes and books, which one do you want first." Prof. McGonagall spoke.

    Rigel snapped out of his daze as he had been focusing on the floating trunk beside them. A stream of mana constantly left her wand and was covering the whole trunk.

    "Let''s do the clothes first," Rigel spoke, he looked around and the hustle and bustle of the Diagon Alley had increased somewhat. There were more people than ever before and as Rigel admired every witch''s proactive dressing sense he began to notice a general trend.

    "There is no mention of Cynthia Marlowe Gaunt in the Gaunt Family lineage chart," Umaenock replied as he looked at the piece of parchment and frowned.

    "So Regulus just happened to fuck a squib during Merlin knows what he was doing?" Narcissa asked incredulously. The whole situation didn''t make sense.

    "The only other possibility would be a squib or a witch who is hiding behind some powerful enchantments that the Gaunts couldn''t afford with the state of their Ledger," Umaenock replied.

    "Fuck..." Narcissa muttered she needed more information to work through this mystery. The heirship claim was already filed so the only way for Rigel to not do the ceremony was to steal the ring that would go to him from Gringotts while making sure he couldn''t legally appeal.

    ''It would be nice if the Black madness struck him and he fired a couple of killing curses in the great hall.''

    "Who were the last members of the Gaunts family registered in their lineage ledger, maybe we could trace Cynthia back to them. I remember their family has been extinct for a while now." Narcissa asked.

    Umaenock nodded as he looked at the chart and spoke, "According to the ledger, the last known heir to the family, Morfin Gaunt, died in 1956 in Azkaban serving a life sentence for the murder of a muggle family. His sister Merope was a squib and she died in 1926, and their father Marvolo Gaunt, the last recorded Lord of the House passed away in 1925."

    Umaenock thought nothing of the name but both Narcissa and Lucius shared a glace at the last name. Marvolo Gaunt died before their time so they had never heard that name before, but the fact that the Gaunt family were the last known descendants of Slytherin and the fact that the Dark lord gave Lucius a diary that had the last Lord''s name printed on it couldn''t have been a coincidence.

    "Are you sure?" Narcissa asked, the Diary was a very dark object from what she could distinguish about it.

    "It would work, he mentioned that it would bring death and destruction..." Lucius replied, he wanted to speak more but doing it here wasn''t a good idea.

    "Let''s go Draco!" Narcissa thought as she stood up, she looked at Umaenock and spoke, "Try to listen in, on what the accounts manager of the Gaunts is planning about the claims." Narcissa added as an afterthought before she whirled around.

    ''It could work, leaving behind my robe did work out in our favor. Now I can go to get it back from him and leave the diary behind...'' A simple but nefarious plan began forming in one corner of Gringotts.
