Lucius cautiously entered his Manor, he was making sure not to open up the Manor again, it was still on lockdown. The elves were asleep, when a Manor went on lockdown the elves sleep a lot as they don't have anyone to serve, just waking up to clean the Manor. Lucius quietly walked through, Sirius and Amor following behind. Amor was able to touch a horcrux without it affecting her and Sirius went with because even though he is being civil, he still didn't quite trust Lucius. James had to stay behind because the Potter Manor still needed some work done for not being used for a few years, and it gave him more paperwork.

They made the distance to the library, Lucius leading them to a hidden section where he heard Sirius and Amor suck in a breath. "My father told me to never touch this but to know where it is at all times. I never knew why though," he told the two. Amor went and grabbed the hidden book and they all saw 'Tom Riddle's Diary' on it. "Narcissa never liked coming into this section and even if I went near here with Draco, he would start crying. I thought it was just because he's a baby and his magic is new but I am thinking otherwise now," Lucius said, seeing the reaction Sirius was having.

'James, I believe all believe you all will have those reactions to the horcrux's, Sirius is doing it again,' Amor communicated with her other mate. 'I will leave Harry with the sisters and have them take their children to Regulus' room,' was his response. Amor hid the horcrux in her bag and turned to Lucius while keeping an eye on Sirius, "The Blacks are more sensitive to Black magic, as in the Evil magic, not the Black Family magic, it comes with their name. Since a horcrux is the most evil piece of magic you could possibly do, they are the most sensitive to it. That would be why Narcissa doesn't want to go near here, her magic is telling her not too. Draco's is partly because, yes, he is a child, but still it's the Black in him," Amor explained.

"Oh," was all Lucius could say. He couldn't believe he had that piece of magic in here that affected his wife and son that much.

"You will also find that some Blacks will be more sensitive than others. Part of the reason the Black Madness happened was because of their sensitivity. Orion was more sensitive to it but it manifested in his paranoia. Sirius inherited that from his father but it manifested in his more wild personality. Dorea Black was another one, she was hyper aware of her surroundings, you could say it's partially paranoia. James had inherited that same hyper awareness, and it seems Harry has too, and probably the more wild personality from Sirius," Amor added, seeing Sirius' mouth slightly lift. "Now, let's go, Reggy, Andy, and Cissy, are in Reggy's room with the kids, we put your rooms far away from where we have these hidden for a reason, especially Regulus since he's held one. Since I am holding it can you help with Sirius?" Amor asked Lucius at the end, motioning towards Sirius. He had been frozen and pale since he walked in.

"Can't believe I had forgotten about that," Lucius heard Amor mutter.

"What?" he questioned.

"That Blacks were more sensitive to it. It was one way to figure out if a Black was good or not. If they welcomed the evil magic or tried to stay away," Amor answered as they got into the floo, double checking the Malfoy Manor was still in lockdown. When they reappeared back at the Potter Manor, Lucius found James looking straight at the bag that held the diary, also wearing a pale complexion like Sirius was. Ted stayed down there to help Lucius with Sirius and James. Amor had immediately left and put the diary with the locket, cleansing herself from any of that magic that was on her and came back to her mates.

Lucius had entered Regulus' room, "Why did we all have to go here until you guys came back?" Andromeda asked. She had been talking to the Malfoy's more and finding that Lucius actually wasn't bad when his mask came down and that he truly didn't care about blood status just about them taking away the traditions. Lucius had told them about what Amor had told him about Blacks and there sensitivity. "That's why Father seemed upset but thankful when Sirius left," Regulus realized.

"You guys can out now, it's safely put away," Ted said, walking in. Regulus, Andromeda, and Narcissa hurried out of there room after hearing the state of their older brother/younger cousin. They found Sirius curled up on his side, head in Amor's lap as his arms were wrapped her waist, partly grabbing on to James' arm too. James was on Amor's other side, his head resting on her shoulder, arms also wrapped around her, allowing Sirius to seek a bit of comfort from him too.

"Why is Sirius more sensitive to it? Why are the ones more sensitive the ones who get the Family Madness?" Regulus asked, he was worried about how quiet his brother was being. James was being unusually quiet too which was also worrying them.

"A long time ago, Black's were to be disowned not just because they were squibs. Usually the Lord of the House knows this, Sirius does, but those who were more sensitive to the evil magic were more likely to have developed the Madness, they would be the ones to watch over more. Those who were disowned were the ones who went into the more evil magic, they welcomed it. Walburga wrongly disowned Sirius, but she was not the Head of the House, Bellatrix was the one who should've been disowned, Walburga interfered with Orion's ability to do that and caused Andromeda to get disowned too," Amor explained. She knew the other reason they were asking, they wanted to know if Bellatrix could be saved. Unfortunately, she had been one of the ones to welcome the evil magic.
