"You see being as both my parents are dead I am without a guardian, magical or otherwise, and come September I am going to be attending Hogwarts school, and by magical law all students who attend Hogwarts school who do not have magical guardians, have that position filled by the prestigious headmaster at the school for as long as I am there,."
"I would like to avoid this and there are only two ways at present to do that, one is not available to me and the other is to have it filled, I would like to request House Tonks aid in doing this."
Tonks blinked, "Wait all this is because you don't want the headmaster to be your magical guardian? Why not?" she asked Magnus not understanding his thinking.
Magnus smirked and shook his head, "I would have thought that was obvious from the question you were all asked before being brought to meet me," he explained before saying in a deadpan tone.
"I don't trust Dumbledore, while I have never met the man just reading his title is enough to tell me he's not to be trusted, he has his finger in to many pies, holds to many cards, and I don't want someone like that using his control over me and to an extension my house for his own gains."
Andromeda smirked, "So that's one of the specifications you have for us if we want your house's aid, one of us take on the role of your magical guardian then," she mused as she voices her suspicions.
Magnus nods, "One yes, that one is meant for you Mrs Tonks, while I would request that your husband here becomes my legal counsel, I hear that he is quite the law wizard and I would like to retain his services for any future needs for my house, I'll make sure that all your fees are paid in full of course" he explained as he smirked.
Andromeda gave a snort, "Those are quite the specifications, anything else?" she asked with a smirk of her own.
Magnus grinned, "In point of fact, I do, but it'd to do with your roll of my magical guardian, I would request that you would only hold that as a title only and not use such power to arrange things against my will, I've already had a contract drawn up by the goblins for you to sign to this effect that I will be expecting you do to so should this come into effect, as a precautionary measure, I don't like to take chances."
Ted shook his head, "Nobody will be signing any contracts, we are just talking right now" he said waving his hand to me, "But I am intrigued by your request to retain my services, young man, I'm sure we can work something out if your family is as reputable as we have been lead to believe."
Andromeda looked at Magnus pensively, "You're talking some big game for such a young boy, who by all accounts should only have just been introduced to the world of magic. If what you have said is true, so how is it you know so much? What makes you think that I would even accept signing a contract like that?" she said as her eyes narrowed.
Magnus smiled as he repositioned his hands so his right cheek was resting on his right hand with his fingers showing as his heir ring flickered into view, "Oh dear cousin, I would have thought it would have been obvious, that you never go into a negotiation without making sure you had something the other person wants," he spoke as he watched Andromeda's eyes widen as she saw the ring and realisation donned on both the other Tonks as they heard him speak.
"While the condition for house Blacks aid and an alliance between house Tonks and house Black is for you to take up my magical guardianship, your signing the contract is in exchange for me offering to welcome both you and Nymphadora here back as daughters of house Black, lifting your unjust banishment." he explained with his smile never leaving his face.
Andromeda looked at Magnus her eyes wide, "Who are you?" she asked in shock not understanding at all.
Magnus smiled, "You can call me Magnus, I'm Regulus's firstborn, born after his death, and only recently discovered, I claimed my heirship to the house of Black yesterday but as you can understand I'm in a little bit of trouble."
Andromeda looked like she had just been slapped, "Regulus…" she said as she put the pieces together, "Yes I remember, I heard rumours that he had been dating a girl whose family was just only barely recognised as purebloods with three generations of magic in their line, you were hers then"
Magnus nodded, "I am, which is why I am seeking out house Tonks help, I honestly don't like the whole way you were thrown out of the family, hell you are probably the closed thing I have to blood who isn't currently locked up, which is another reason I don't trust Dumbledore, the whole thing around Uncle Sirius's incarceration is very suspicious to me but...."
"I have no way to even try and look into it yet, which is one of the reasons I'm wanting to bring mister Tonks here in as a Law-wizard for house Black to try and get the ball rolling and see if everything is on the up and up" he explained to them with a straight face.
Andromeda sat back gobsmacked by what she had just heard as did Ted, the prospects of what Magnus was proposing would be huge for them both.
