Chapter 4: Taurus & Scorpius
As the evening rays were receding, Atreus went to his single room after his introduction to the magical world. Sitting down on the floor, he took out the trunk he got from the vault and placed it on the floor.
As he willed it to become normal, the trunk expanded back to its normal size. Creasing the leather and initials, Atreus opened the trunk.
Inside, he found a note saying "A gift to our dear son Atreus - Eridanus & Victoria Creed"
Smiling at the note, Atreus looked through the trunk. There were six compartments that were kept locked with small compartment doors and each had a name on it. The first one was "Library", second one was "Inventions", third one was "Tools", fourth one was "Wardrobe", fifth one was "Ingredients", and the final one had the name "Kirby".
Atreus read all the labels and when he reached the final compartment and saw a name, he was intrigued.
He slowly opened the locked compartment and looked inside, only to see a child-like creature wearing a butler-like outfit, sleeping soundly in it.
Taking out his wand, Atreus poked it, which resulted in the creature opening its eyes grudgingly.
Looking at the creature, Atreus asked "What are you?"
Hearing the sound, the big beady eyes of the creature opened wide and locked in on Atreus. Then in swift motion it jumped out of the compartment and hugged Atreus while shouting "Littlest Master saw Kirby, Kirby happy!"
Atreus didn't do anything as he felt that the creature won't harm him in any way or form. As Kirby kept crying saying his name, Atreus let Kirby to calm down.
After one minute of crying, Kirby calmed down and was sitting in front of Atreus on the floor. Looking at Kirby, Atreus said "I know your name is Kirby, but what are you?"
Smiling at Atreus, Kirby began "Kirby is House-Elf of Creed! Kirby works for Creed!"
Nodding at it, Atreus muttered "Figured." Then looking at Kirby, Atreus said "I don't want a master servant bond with you, Kirby."
Surprisingly, Kirby smiled at Atreus instead of bawling his eyes off and said "Kirby knows! Master treated Kirby as a friend! Master told Kirby to be friends with Littlest Master."
"Okay. That's cool with me." Sighing in relief, Atreus asked "By Master, you mean my father right?" Kirby nodded at Atreus, so Atreus continued "What was my parents like?"
Beaming a smile at Atreus, Kirby started to speak non stop "Master liked to make things! Master loved Grandmaster, Grandmistress, Mistress and Little Master! Mistress liked animals! Mistresses make yummy things! Master also told Kirby that Kirby will be Littlest Masters House Elf!"
"Who is the Little Master?" Atreus asked Kirby.
"Little Mater is Littlest Master brother! Little Master have Firby as House-Elf! Little Master around here?" Kirby asked Atreus.
Shaking his head, he said "I don't remember anything and all I know is my family is dead."
Nearly, five minutes of crying for the loss of his Master, Mistress, Little Master and his brother Firby, Kirby stopped and had a thoughtful look and said while handing a letter and a box to Atreus "Master told Kirby to help Littlest Master when Littlest Master asked. And Master gave Kirby a box and writing."
Opening the letter, Atreus read out loud
"Dear Son,
If you are reading this then that means we are not around you. Sorry for that. Kirby will be helpful to you, he was a new born house-elf when I first saw him. His mother was dead after giving birth to him, so I took care of him from his infancy and after he was of age, he started to help me out. His brother, Firby is with your elder brother.
When I was sure that I was being hunted down by the Death Eaters, I ordered Kirby for the first time ever to wait for you to turn eleven and help you out.
Anyway, what your mom and I have to convey to you is, we love you so much son. Kirby will take you to our home, when you ask him to. It's an incredible place, you know. Your grandpa built it from scratch.
Now, this is goodbye son, we don't know if we will ever meet you again, but know that you are our light and treasure. Live a happy life in a way you want to live.
With lots of love,
Eridanus Creed
Your father.
P.S.: I was an inventor, you know? So I have left one of my most prized inventions in the trunk. It's a gift from me. The Library is filled to the brim with magical books and mundane books, that's your mother's gift. "
After reading all of it, Atreus shed some tears in sorrow. Seeing that, Kirby hugged him while sobbing a little and said "Kirby will take care of Littlest Master! Kirby will be with Littlest Master!"
Hugging Kirby, Atreus muttered "Thank you, Kirby."
For a while, both of them sat on the floor while hugging. Wiping his tears away, Atreus thought 'Dad told me to live a life I want. I don't know what kind of life I want to live yet, but I hope I find it in Hogwarts. And my big brother, I have no idea if he is alive or dead. What am I thinking? If he's alive he would have found me before.'
Releasing the hug, Atreus asked Kirby "Kirby, are there any pictures of my parents and brother?"
Smiling at Atreus, Kirby said "The box."
Nodding at Kirby, Atreus opened the box and saw a silver chain with a locket. Picking it up he opened the locket and saw two pictures of a family of four that was moving around. In both pictures, there was a dark skinned man with brown hair and brown eyes, a woman with black hair and brown eyes, a boy with black hair and brown eyes and a small baby that looked to be only nine months old. The picture showed a happy family, full of smiles. Creasing the picture for a bit, he closed the locket and wore the silver chain on him.
Shedding some more tears in happiness, Atreus diverted his attention to the trunk and opened the compartment labelled "Inventions".
Inside the compartment were three things and seeing them, his eyes went wide and asked Kirby " Kirby, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
"Yes Littlest Master!" Kirby said in excitement.
Taking out the four items, Atreus examined it without cutting corners. As he was satisfied after his examination, Atreus said to himself "Taurus & Scorpius, the most prized invention of my father. And it had to be the most No-Maj thing ever, revolvers."
Creasing the revolvers that look like a 44 magnum revolvers with sleek and futuristic design. One gun was full black with a silver handle, the name "Scorpius" was written on it in black. The second gun was full silver with black handle, the name "Taurus" was written on it in silver. The other item was a gun holster belt, with its right side having silver colour and left side having black colour.
After checking the guns and the holsters, Atreus picked up a book that was left in the compartment and read it without missing any page as he knows how dangerous a gun can be and to make it worse, his guns were magical.
After reading the book for half an hour, Atreus thought 'So the guns act like a wand, with preloaded bullets that only needed to be recharged with magic. I can charge the bullets with any spell I learn just like a wand, but the difference between the wand and these guns is that I will be able deal more damage and have high precision. It's best for fighting enemies, I just hope that I won't have to use it ever.'
