Finally finished reading the list of Titles she could claim, Morgana passed the parchment to her sister to read. As she sat back in her throne, she couldn't help but smirk as she thought of what she has learned and what it would mean for her and her sister.
First, as a pureblood she has more rights than a half-blood or a muggleborn would have. Which is a good thing for her plans, though how she is a pureblood is puzzling. It is commonly known that Lilly Evans is a muggleborn. So how is it then, that Morgana isn't a half-blood, but a pureblood? Oh well, something to ponder later, Morgana thought to herself with a frown.
Second, her creature inheritance. Morgan knew that she would become a Sorceress, Bella had told her as much and this just confirms it. But the rest? Now that was a surprise! It is not however an unwelcome one thought, seeing as the test showed such powerful creatures. The only two beings she knows about are the Metamorphmagus and the Veela. The others she has never even heard of and needs to research more about them.
What really interested her however, is the Ladyships she may claim and whom she is heiress to and which House. The more titles and Houses that she can claim, the more power and freedom she has.
Like her creature inheritance, she was surprised. Of the list there is about four houses she did not know of. Of course she has heard of House LeFay, she only dreams of it's Head of House every night. Morgana LeFay or Morgan LeFay, the Daughter of Queen Ygraine and the Duke of Cornwall Gorlois. Morgana was also the half-sister of King Arthur Pendragon and she was the enemy or lover of Merlin and was a very Dark Witch.
Then of course there is the House Emrys, which if Arthurian Legend is to be correct is the House of Merlin. Merlin was supposedly an alias of Myrriden Emrys which was his true name.
Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor are the founders of Hogwarts so of course she has heard of them. Unfortunately if it gets out that she is one of the Founders Heirs and she goes to another school, than her reputation in Britain will take a nosedive. Normally, Morgana could care less, but she needed to have a stellar reputation if her plans are to succeed. These titles could indeed pose a problem for her. A problem she will think about later.
The House of Peverell was mentioned in the Tales of the Beetle and the Bard. Apparently, three brothers of the House Peverell tricked death into giving them three of his most powerful instruments. An unbeatable wand, a resurrection stone and an invisibility cloak. Also according to legend, the wand and the stone got them killed while the third brother lived to a ripe old age behind his picket fence with grandkids and passed in his sleep greeting Death as though they were best friends. There are so many things wrong with that story, Morgana could write a book about it. Now there is a thought, Morgana mused with a smirk, thinking of the galleons she could make by writing such a book. Not to mention the fame of course .Of course the Peverell's heiress would know more about her family's story than some silly little children's story. Morgana could spin her own tale and the masses would just lap it up! Those….sheeple!
"Holy Shit!" an unusually high pitched voice squeaked, starling Morgana from her thoughts and hurting her ears in the process. Blinking owlishly at her gaping sister, Morgana raised an eyebrow in amusement at her usually non-swearing sister. Morgana can count on one hand and still have fingers left over at the amount of ties Cassie has swore since she has known her.
Seeing her sister's amused face at her profanity, Cassie blushed. Clearing her suddenly dry throat, Cassie ignored her snickering sister as she glanced at the drinking goblin.
"Erm…excuse me sir," Cassie just barely refrained from calling him his majesty knowing how her prickly sister would react. Morgana had drilled it into her head that respect has to be earned no matter who they are or what their titles are. Well, anyone who isn't Morgana has to earn her respect that is.
With a grunt acknowledging the human, King SoulReaper began gathering the ingredients needed to perform theLegatum ex rituali de Pupillorum Et Mulierum Tutela dicentes enim se et maioribus Ritual. This ritual will allow the young witch to claim any and all titles and rites owed to her. Not only will she be able to claim them, but once claimed Morgana and Morgana alone will be the only one to ever hold these titles. Even if she was defeated in combat, only her properties would go to the victor, never her titles. Once she dies the titles die with her, even if she were to have a daughter in the future. This is very Olde Magick, not having been used since the Druids of Avalon.
As the King prepared the ritual, Cassie began to express her worry for her sister, she hoped she wasn't distracting the goblin. But she needed to have her worries assuaged, normally she would rely on Morgana; but she would just tell her everything is fine. But Cassie had a bad feeling about this, that something will go wrong.
"Has there ever been any side effects of the Claimant Ritual? Any… bad side effects perhaps?
Morgana sharply glanced at her sister. Cassie has always had good instincts, borderline magical really. Anytime in the past if she had a bad feeling it is wise to head any warnings she has to give. It is the same with her good feelings, in fact if Morgana hadn't listed to Cassie when she told her to go to the theatre, she never would have stumbled across Knockturn Ally and met Bella. So if Cassie is asking about bad side effects to the ritual, then she knows that something bad will happen. Unfortunately this may be one of the rare times that she will have to ignore her sisters advise for their own good depending on the side effect.
Giving the human a curious look, the goblin answered the lass. "Well, if the claim is a false one…the side effect is death. If the claimant is under the influence of potions, curses, hexes or any mind altering or personality influencing substances then the claimant must either undergo a flushing and cleansing ritual or renounce any claims to any titles listed. If however there is already an heir to a house as well as an heiress, the claimant in question can contest the claims, share the titles or absorb the title."
"Absorb the title?" Cassie's concerned voice sounded small in the echoing silence. With a huff the goblin explained to the girl what this would mean for the little heiress before him.
"It means young miss, that should there be an heir and an heiress that hold the same claim toward the same house; then the heir and heiress in question must satisfy the house in either blood or bond in order to claim the house." As the goblin continued to speak, sounding bored out of his skull, Morgana was watching Cassie closely.
Cassie turned white as a sheet at the mention of absorbing a house. But it was the words blood and bonds that had her in a near panic attack. As soon as the goblin was finished speaking Cassie pounced on Morgana.
"don't accept Slytherin! Don't accept Slytherin! Please!" Cassie begged her silent and shocked sister.
Cassie has never, not once in her life asked her for anything, nothing but to love her and go shopping with her. Cassie trusts that she won't leave her and would protect her so that was something she never had to ask her for. Morgana is the one who is always offering to do things for her and gives her anything she could possible want before she could ask, not that she would. So the fact that she would not only ask her for this, not only ask her but beg her not to accept the House of Slytherin. Well now she was torn. Morgana knows that with this House, she could have power of the Dark sect of the wizarding world and if she were forced to go to that god forsaken school she would have the house of the snakes under her control with a snap of her fingers and the Slytherin name upon her lips. But she also knew that Cassie would not ask or beg her for this if there wasn't a good reason. After watching her trembling and tearful sister for a moment she turned to the silent and stoic goblin king and spoke her decision.
"Before we start I want a cleansing ritual done first."
With a grunt of acceptance he called for another goblin to prepare the cleansing room while he finished preparing for the ritual. As Morgana glanced at her still anxious sister, she thought to herself.
I know it is not an answer, but maybe after the cleansing I will know whether or not I should heed my sisters warning or go through with claiming ALL of my Houses.
_AN: Please see my profile page for the reasons I have not been updating as regularly if you are curious. I am sorry about that by the way.
Also I want it known that the reason Morgana looks too mature for her age and too adult is due to her Metamorph powers. I will explain in future chapters because a character will point that out as well, but there is a reason she looks so unrealistic for an 11 year old.
Also I want to point out this is the Wizarding World here so things will be backwards so I want to point that out. For example the meaning of Absorbing a title means something different than it sounds as the Goblin described. Also, there will be other things that sound like one thing but have a totally illogical explanation in the wizarding world. I have researched extensively on the Myths, Lore's and titles that Morgana has and they will be explained in future chapters as Morgana herself will do her own research which will include the research I myself have done. If you have any questions or would like to see the research for yourself PM me and I will email you my research. But it will be explained in the story.
I am trying to make Morgana as less of a Mary Sue as Possible and despite all of her titles, she is one person so she will need some help. Right now she doesn't realize this but we will see in future chapters as she grows as a character that she can't do it all on her own. I have made her powerful yes, with a shit ton of titles yes, but I feel that witches and wizard have a lot more power than was shown in the movies and books and I want to reflect on that, while I also want to show that by having more titles will mean more power and responsibilities . This story will reflect heavily on the whole having who has the power and who doesn't and the struggle to keep it and not let it go to your head. This is a AU cannon divergent story for a reason.
