Diner Room, Howard Manor, London, England, UK

Seven o'clock, time for dinner. He heard the bell ring from his grandmother. Mr. Noise was pestresting him. So he sent him out of his room. Uncle Glenn was really happy that he made into the Auror Academy and ready to be an Auror. Uncle Glenn bragged about Tristan non stop, bad to point where it was crazy. But, that was for bragging. One of Tristan's good friends was in the same Academy, Drew. But Tristan's behavior up till late May, may
of made Drew to be quarantine from Tristan. Tristan's "behavior" thank god had stopped in June. He was his happy state. Anna, his girlfriend, probably still felt weird about him.

"Ready, Tristan?" said Uncle Glenn. Tristan nodded, "What did grandma make tonight?" he asked. Uncle Glenn said something about chicken and pork chops and mashed potatoes. Great. Walking to the dinner table. Everybody was seated. "So, me and Matt are going to Diagon Alley and we are gonna go shopping! Yay!" yelled Brittany. She was a recent Third Year from Wales Simithe. And Matt was her recent Third Year boyfriend. They had been dating since last year.

"So, atleast me and Lily are going to see a Quidditch game. I. Got tickets," Samuel said. Samuel, was a recent Fourth Year from Wales Simithie, and Lily was his recent Fourth Year girlfriend. They had been dating for 3 months now. "Oh my Merlin," Tristan snickered to himself. "What? What about Anna? You've been dating her this whole year. You guys gonna marry? Oooooh!" Samuel had rubbed in. Tristan shut up.

After 10 minutes of eating, Grandma Celly had spoke up. "Tristan, I've been thinking. Since your in the Auror Academy and all. Maybe you should get a apartment at Weldrings," she said. Tristan dropped his fork. "Why? I want to stay here," he said. "Well, I just think maybe you want to explore the world more. Now that you are a graduate. And your probably going to be marrying Anna an-" "Um, Grandma? For one, I rather stay here, and for two we haven't really talked about marrying. I mean she still is in Hogwarts," he snickered.

Outside, Howard Manor

"So, you don't want to go traveling?" Uncle Glenn asked. Tristan and Glenn were sitting on the bench outside on the front porch just watching and stuff. "Well, I kinda been thinking since last night. I think I want to buy the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Maybe go and kill the real dangerous ones," Tristan replied. He saw that Uncle Glenn eyed him a little. But then he laughed. "You serious?" Glenn questioned. Tristan nodded.

"But, I kinda don't want to use just a wand. I mean, I want to get into martial arts and stuff. I mean, all those classes I've been doing the last 2 years have worked for me. Like maybe use a sword. Use sword combat, instead of magic combat," Tristan said. He then saw Uncle Glenn stand up. "Sword? You know we have a family heriloom sword. It's calld Thor," Glenn said. Tristan eyebrowed him and he stood up. "Why is called Thor?"

"Well, none of us can access it's true power. But, once you access it, it will have bolts and bolts of lightning swarming around the sword. And can kill almost anything in one hit. But... the only one who knew was Cyrus Howard XVII back in the 1400s. He made the sword and its powers using magic. But, he was the only one who knew how to access it. Believe me, you won't. Everyone has been trying for 600 years. But the blade is very sturdy and it's REALLY sharp," Glenn stated.

Tristan would usually fall asleep during people talking that much, bu he was intersted of what he said.

"So, where is the sword?" Tristan asked.

"Well, I'll talk to your grandmother and see if she will let you use it and I'll let you know tomorrow. I must get to work. Bye-bye," Glenn said.

"Psst," whispered Glenn. Tristan was laying on his bed daydreaming and such. "What?" Tristan asked. Glenn motioned him to come along. He then stood up from the bed and walked with him. They then went to a secret entrance. Something that Tristan never knew about this house. As they got lower and lower. Glenn turned down the candles with his wand. As he made it down there. It was dusty and a lot of spiders were crawling. "Eh,"

"Hmm.. " Glenn hummed. Glenn moved a shelf out of the way. Then he started to knock on the walls, and then a big part didn't even sound like a wall. "Right here," Glenn said. He then told Tristan to stand back. Glenn took out his wand and pointed it at the wall. "Flipendo!" he yelled as it hit the wall and the wall busted opened. All you saw was a chest. Glenn pulled it out and set it on the ground. It had the Howard Family Crest on it. Glenn got the key and opened it up. He then picked up a long, beautiful sword.

"This is Thor. The lightning god of this sword. It is very powerful, I just wish there was a way to access it's true power," said Glenn as he was weilding it. Tristan then cleared his thoart. "I thought you said it was still very sharp and that even barely touching the tip of it will make you bleed?" Tristan asked. Glenn then nodded. "Well this is what your going to practice with," he said. They both walked out of the basement and back upstairs.

He then walked out of the house. "Well, it's yours and practice. Good luck," Glenn said as he walked back in the house. Then Tristan started to swing the sword around the air. He then threw the sword in the air and caught it. If you knew what the Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare sounded like, that woud be perfect right now.

He was outside with Thor. He swung the sword lightly. It was still a little heavy and he wasn't ready yet to just swing the sword like crazy. He then pick the sword up and threw to a bullseye and it landed outside the bullseye area. But he still made 80 pts. Disappointed in himself. He ran back to the sword and took it out. "HA!" he yelled as he chopped off a nearby dummy's arm. The hay started to fall on the ground.

Then standing back. He jumped and did a cart-wheel and slashed the dummy straight and sliced the dummy in half. Both sides fell apart. Panting from that. He put the sword down. He sat down on the ground. "Wow, I-I can't believe I just did that. Good thing I still have 3-4 months to train," he said to himself. He knew this training would make him stronger. He was excited for this adventure. But he was excited for the training in Academy soon.

"97... 98.... 99... 100," Tristan grunted as he did 100 pushups. He rose up. He then pulled out his sword and sliced a dummy in half, then he took out his wand and cast a spell at the muggle toaster and destroyed it. He then took off his shirt and started to pace around with the sword. Keeping the wand in his back pocket. Basically how he was going to do was when he went on his adventure. He was going to do to combat, and if in trouble, use his wand.

"Tristan. You need to calm down," Samuel had said walking out. Tristan then started panting and dropped Thor to the ground. "You need some rest you've been training for 8 hours a day. Your looking more built than ever," Sam saiid. Tristan looked at his younger brother and nodded at him. "I understand," Tristan said as he picked up Thor. The sword was getting lighter every day. But it was still heavy though. Uncle Glenn had said he would be ready when the sword felt like a pound.

Tristan has A LONG time for that to happen.
