No String's On Me

Shopping

As we finished our ice cream daddy gave me a sturn look "stay close and don't wander about." I nodded feeling both excited and nervous.

Once into nocturne I automatically dropped my glamour. Feeling more free already. I reached out to daddy wanting him to carry me more. He smiled happy to indulge me. Easily picking me up and quietly teaching me how to navigate around nocturne. The first stop was to an apothecary where we mostly bought daddy stuff.

Next stop was to a book store where I had Kreacher pick me lots of good books. He happily obligated. While I sneakily spoke to the shop attendant about getting daddy's yule present. He understood I wanted something on defense and something on potions for daddy that weren't everyday reads. I then asked him to keep an eye out for any books written in parceltongue. He had smiled happily asking if I could afford such things. Which only made me smirk. When Kreacher came over floating a sizeable stack of books I looked at him. Only asking the cost. As soon as the attendant got a look at the crest on Kreacher he paled. Spoke the price and I paid.

We went to a jewelry store next were I bought Draco's gift a pendant shaped like an anok and carved with runes. Of protection. I had noticed a pretty set of earrings and a lovely matching necklace but didn't linger on them. In stead buying a couple of protection bracelets for Luna and Hermione. Then we were off to borgans. Where daddy procured the vanishing cabinet. Having it sent to his home on spinners end.

And I found some rather wonderful gifts for my other friends and a few thing I wanted for me. We even found a memorabilia shop and bought some things for my walls. Even going so far as to get a snitch. Then daddy reminded me about our appointment for my apprecition license. So I had Kreacher take my things and we went to the ministry with me back under the glamour.

I passed my test easily. And filed all my paperwork before the license was presented to me. Daddy was very proud reminding me of the peacock's Mr Malfoy keeps. We then on my insistence went to the hall of prophecy. Took the orb and swung by the room where unspeakables we're working on time turners. After convincing them that I needed one so I could get in more study time they helped me file the paperwork. And gave me one along with a manual for operation. I smiled happily at the book.

After we picked up all the things we had ordered daddy took me to one more shop. Gregorovitch's handmade wands. As soon as we walked in I knew something was afoot. A man was talking to the gregorovitch then turned smiled and walk right over to us. "Hello love." I saw daddy smile and lean in for a kiss my eyes which had narrowed when he referred to daddy like that bugged out. And I was quick to move between them and stop them. "What's the matter cuddle bug?" He asked rubbing my shoulder. In a soothing manner.

My eyes must have looked panicked because suddenly I was picked up. "It's okay cuddle bug papa's here. Long day?" He asked daddy before giving him a kiss. After he told me he was papa in disguise I saw winky give me a little wave from the corner. I relaxed and leaned my head against papa. Only now noticing his scent was his.

"Yes I believe not looking yourself had him more worried though dear." Daddy told him humor lacing his voice.

"Thought daddy was being stolen." I said softly. Get two chuckles in reply. And kisses from both.

"Let's get you a wand cuddle bug." Papa said cheerily. Carrying me over to gregorovitch. Setting me on the floor and telling him that I was to get top their treatment. "Just follow his instructions okay cuddle bug" I nodded to him nervously. Then he went back to where daddy was watching in a chair to wait.

Gregorovitch was a patient man able to tell I was nervous and scared. But calmly worked with me finding the right materials. Trillium petal, and thunderbird tailfeather core material. Yew and Elder wood for the casing. He asked me about any design details I would like and I smiled asking for Yggdrasil and Ouroboros to be on it. He smiled at me and motioned for me to go sit with daddy and papa.

I happily skipped over to them and sat on papa's lap telling him all about our day getting chuckles from both with my happiness. Once the wand was done papa stood with me while I got my wand. As soon as I touched it I felt an overwhelming rush of power and connection. Electrical sparks danced along the wand and me. I vaguely heard daddy and papa cussing. When the sparks died down I looked up to thank gregorovitch.

Only to find him pointing his wand at papa and daddy he grabbed me suddenly pulling me to him and then behind him. "Your supposed to be dead. Your safe now child." I looked up at gregorovitch's back realizing the problem. He could see barty and had seen my scar.

"Mr gregorovitch sir. Barty is my papa and Severus is my real dad. Dumbassdoor is my enemy. Please don't hurt daddy or papa." I pleaded trying to pull his arm down.

"Must have potioned you." He said keeping his arm up. Well until I showed him my bracelet that kept me from being potioned and spelled. Instantly he dropped his wand to his side looking at it then looked at them. "It's true?"

Daddy nodded giving a brief explanation. Causing Mr gregorovitch to give me a gentle hug. "Sorry little one last thing I need is another ministry raid especially if I had aided in your kidnapping." I nodded and immediately went to daddy who quickly picked me up. Papa chuckled at me.

"It's alright Gregor. He's on his way home. How much I owe you?" Papa asked moving to the counter. "Don't look at me like that he's been getting treated and has recently recovered." I knew barty was really telling him Voldemort was coming back and was going to be sane this time. So I said nothing only cuddled into daddy's shoulder.

"Good to hear that it's 10 galleons for the wand and for the mishap I'll throw in the holsters for free." Mr gregorovitch said carefully. "What of the child will he..." He trailed off likely referring to me possibly getting murdered by him.

"Doubtful Harrison is the reason he's gotten better. Will you be joining the welcome home party?" Papa asked as I heard coins placed on the counter. Then daddy set me down taking me over to the holsters on the far wall. I picked a basilisk hide holster for my new wand loving the iridescent scaling and the extremely soft fur backing. Then daddy pick up a simple soft leather holster for my olivander wand. And we went back. Papa looked at what was in my hands and choked a bit.

Daddy glared at Mr gregorovitch and picked me up. "We are going back now. You didn't stipulate the cost and Harrison more then deserves it." Daddy snapped which told me I picked an expensive holster. We left for gringotts once there we went straight back though the floo to daddy's quarters. Where he kissed my forehead telling me I did a very good job. We spent the rest of the evening going through my new things and putting them away. When papa joined us he had snuggled both of us right away. Then we had to make an appearance for dinner.
