Meeting with Head of Blacks

Sirius Black apparated beside his cousin, Bellatrix. It was a small clearing with no sign of any habitation. But in truth, the place was occupied by one of the most paranoid members of the wizarding world, The Blacks.

He looked at his cousin and nodded. He took out his dagger.

"Strange cousin. I thought you had abandoned our ways." Said Bellatrix.

Sirius smirked and said- "I may have left my home but I am Black by blood. And one stops being a Black. You would be surprised to know that even James used to carry a dagger. His mother, Aunt Dorea taught him that. And after our bonding, Lily did too. We did not have a problem with our ways and dark arts. We just did not like the blatant discrimination of muggleborns. We had decided to celebrate Samhain as we did with family."

"What he is saying is true. Even celebrate Yule, Samhain, Beltane, Ostara and other festivals. I agree that dark arts make me a bit uncomfortable but we were never one banning a part of magic. It's magic. Not some curse. Amelia also feels so. So did the Pretwett twins had also felt so." Said Frank.

Bellatrix and Lucius looked at each other. "We had not known either of your thoughts. If we did, you all would not have been targeted." Said Lucius.

"Anyways. Now is not the time to talk all about this. We have been set a task and we shall complete it. Even if it sounds unpleasant." Sirius said.

With that he took his dagger and made a small cut on his finger and let the blood flow on a small pedestal on the roadside. He felt the magic of Blacks testing him. It finally permitted him to go inside with his companions.

They all entered the famed Black castle. It was very intimidating. Sirius and Bellatrix walked in front and Lucius and Frank followed them. In the foyer they were greeted by a respectable looking elf.

" Tippy is being ordered by master Lord Black to lead yous to the sitting room. He is being waiting for you there."

They were led by the elf to the sitting room. On one of the chairs was seated the Lord Arcturus Black. He looked every bit of the lord that he was.
"Greetings Lord Longbottom and Heir Malfoy to the Black Castle. I hope that your purpose of coming is properly served. Now, seeing as this is a strange mixture of the light side and the dark so I would like to call my son, Orion before we begin. Till then take a seat and give the Blacks an opportunity to show their hospitality to you." Said Arcturus.

"It is both to the pleasure of Heir Malfoy and me that we have been given the opportunity of experiencing the famed hospitability of the Blacks and I would like to thank you on both our behalf." Said Frank, taking his seat as Lucius did the same.

They were served tea and scones to accompany while they waited for Orion arrived. It did not take long for Orion to arrive. On looking at the company with his father, he raised his eyebrow but his poker face. He took his place with his father and greeted the guests and lastly his son.
"So, what is it that you wanted to talk? And Sirius what are you doing here?" asked Arcturus.

Sirius looked at Bellatrix and nodded. Orion and Arcturus were taken aback by the deep understanding that the cousins who hated each other were showing.

Sirius stood up and said – "Its better if you see it. I will explain to you and answer your questions after you do so."

Arcturus nodded and summoned his pensieve. Sirius gave him a flask full of memories. Lord Black poured it in the penseive and both he and his son dived into it. They saw how the Potter heiress was treated by muggles, her friends, enemies, her war with the Dark Lord, her recognizing her inheritance and finally the emergence of the Dark Lady Morgana. They saw that how she time travelled and her plan.

They came out of the penseive. Both took a moment to process what they saw. Arcturus seethed and said- "How dare those filthy muggles treat the heiress of the Black like an elf? And that Dumbledore left her there? How dare he? Once I get my hands on him he will learn not to mess with the Blacks. We heard the plan. We will go with it. Walburga does not need to know. Infact, she needs to be removed from the scene. So, lets execute everything. Lets bring down Dumbledore. Sirius, we will help you. Lets go to Gringotts and finalize everything for Sirius to die and Regulus to rise."

Sirius hugged his grandfather and father and thanked them for providing their help. "Lets go to the bank. Severus is waiting there with Cassiopeia. We have to complete all the adoptions. I am expecting the Lestranges there with Hermione or Gemini.

They all went to the bank. And indeed, Severus was standing there with Cassiopeia and the Lestranges. Orion greeted his friend and said- "We need a meeting of the Knights to discuss everything. What do you say?" Rudolf nodded and said- "The Dark Lady is dangerous but level headed. I already have had an altercation with her. She is truly our Lord's equal in every sense. She has also permitted for all the memories to be shown to anyone required but only after getting oaths. For now lets get on with the plan. The dark will win, of that I am sure."

All the processes were completed and adoptions done. Gemini Auriga Black Lestrange Crouch Mckinnon and Cassiopeia Lillith Morgana Persephone Black Prince Potter rose and Hermione Granger and Lily Potter were no more. Sirius Black was also now lost to the world. Regulus Black again walked the earth.

They all left the bank and returned to Peverall Castle.

As soon as entered the room, elder Cassiopeia stood up and said- "Greetings Lord Black and Heir Black. Thank you for agreeing for helping."

"No need of so much formality. You are family. And we always help family. We will help you with everything we have. Don't worry." Said Orion.

"Family" whispered Cassiopeia. Then she smiled and said- " Yes we are family."

'Take that Dumbledore. I have everything that you wanted to take from me'
