Sirius and James finished working for the day. They have fought and captured a couple of Death Eaters for questioning. They have also saved Muggle-Borns and Muggles from getting killed by these Death Eaters. Not wanting Muggles to develop PTSD, the Obliviator came and obliviated the Muggles' memories.
" What is it with these Death Eaters targeting Muggle-Borns and Muggles?" James bitterly asked. He stands in front of his locker and takes off his Auror uniform. He then grabs his civilian clothing and puts it on.
Sirius annoyingly sighed. " Those Death Eaters believed that Muggle-Borns and even Muggles shouldn't exist. They believe that Muggle-Borns shouldn't have gotten blessed with Magic." He responded while grabbing his black biker jacket and putting it on.
James turns his gaze to Sirius. " That is why I worry about Lily so much since she's a Muggle-Born. I know she is capable of protecting herself and the children. But, the idea of Death Eaters killing her makes my blood boil." He closed his Hazel-colored eyes, and his hands tightened into fists.
" No wonder I was surprised when you used a Crucio spell on that Death Eater when you saw them doing the same to that Muggle-Born Witch." Sirius looks at James.
" Seeing that Muggle-Born Witch in pain reminded me of Lily," James murmured while opening his Hazel-colored eyes.
" I feel that is why Mad-Eye Moody took your wand away because he didn't want you to go crazy or make you do something that you will regret." Sirius looks at James worryingly.
James looks down at the wand in his holster that Mad-Eye Moody gave back to him and begins to remember what he told him.
" Go home! I know we are living in tense times because of this Bloody War. But, remember. You have a Wife and children waiting for you. Relax. Once you are ready, come back." Twenty-four-year-old Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody firmly speaks while handing the wand back to James.
" I think it's best to take a break from being an Auror." James looks at Sirius. " I mean, I have already made lots of money. And being Head of the Potter Family, I have loads of money in the Vaults. So, I can provide for my family and children." He closed his locker.
" Are you saying break like you are quitting and never coming back, or do you plan to come back someday?" Sirius asked, looking curious.
James looked at Sirius thoughtfully. " Maybe once the war stops, I'll consider returning to work as an Auror." He softly smiled.
Sirius looked at James with mixed emotions. The only reason he became an Auror was that James wanted to be one.
" If you plan to take a break, I'll also take a break." Sirius softly smiled.
James' Hazel-colored eyes widened.
" Mate! You know you don't have to." James looks at Sirius worryingly.
" I want to. And besides, I now have an excuse to see my adorable Goddaughter and Harry daily." Sirius amusingly chuckled.
" Yeah. Even if Lily gets annoyed by your presence, you are always welcome at Potter Manor." James lightly pats Sirius' back.
Sirius nodded. " Oh! I should get going. I remember I have to do something at Diagon Alley. I'll see you, Lily, the kids, Moony, and Wormtail at the Manor for dinner." He turns around and waves goodbye.
" Okay! Be careful!" James watches Sirius leave.
At Charing Cross Road in London, England, Sirius stood outside of a pub called the Leaky Cauldron. Sirius looked at his surroundings, spotting no one, and stepped inside.
" Hello, there! What can I do for you?" A male Wizard named Tom kindly greets Sirius.
" I am heading to Diagon Alley," Sirius responded.
" Okay! Have fun!" Tom nodded and walked away to interact with customers.
Sirius nodded and walked towards the back of the pub. He pulled out his wand and tapped specific bricks, which crumbled and created an entranceway to Diagon Alley.
Sirius puts his wand away and walks towards the street that has plenty of people shopping. He puts his hands in his pant pockets and walks towards Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
Sirius arrives at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, opens the door, and steps inside. He looked forward and saw no Wizarding people inside because he figured that people were still on the down low and hiding due to living in war.
Sirius walked towards a Bank Teller and spoke to them about wanting to meet with the Black Family's Accountant. They watched them leave and a few minutes later came back to inform them that his Accountant was waiting for him in his office.
Sirius nodded. He walks towards a door, opens it, and steps inside, following a different Goblin to his Accountant's office.
" Arrow! Your Client is here!" The Goblin knocks on the door.
" Come in!" Arrow shouted.
The Goblin opened the door, and Sirius stepped inside the office. Sirius watched the door get closed, and he turned to look at Arrow.
" Lord Black! What can I do for you?" Arrow asked.
Sirius held his distaste since hearing Lord Black reminded him of his father, Orion Black, who he wasn't close with like James' father, Charlus Potter.
" I want to name someone as my Heir." Sirius walks towards the desk and sits down, causing Arrow to look at him curiously.
" You finally got with someone," Arrow smirks.
Sirius blushes, causing him to glare at Arrow.
" No!" Sirius shakes his head. " I wanted to name my Goddaughter as the Heiress of the Black Family. If something happens to me, I want the Ancient House of Black Family titles, properties, seats, and ring to go to her." He looks at Arrow.
Arrow hummed, feeling intrigued that Sirius wanted to name someone who wasn't a Black to be the Heiress of the Black Family.
" You do need to know they must be a part of the Black Family." Arrow reminded Sirius.
" She is! My Goddaughter is Tulip Dorea Potter. Daughter of Lily and James Potter. And the Granddaughter of Charlus Potter and Dorea Potter nee Black. That woman was my Great-Aunt! Who I have always seen as a mother." Sirius informed Arrow.
" Good to know." Arrow nodded. " Then it will be easier for me to add her as your Heiress. All you have to do is sign these documents." He snapped his fingers, causing scrolls to appear on his desk.
" I also wanted to create an emergency Vault for Tulip Potter. Every year, on July 31st, I want money from the Ancient Black Family Vault to get transferred to that account." Sirius begins to read and sign the scrolls.
" How much?" Arrow asked.
" 1637 Gold Galleons, 9 Silver Sickles, and 9 Bronze Knuts," Sirius responded.
" You know that is like 10,000 in Muggle money." Arrow looks at Sirius.
" All I want is my Goddaughter to have enough money for anything she needs." Sirius shrugged.
Arrow didn't say anything. He snapped his finger, causing more scrolls to appear so that Sirius could sign it all.
Sirius stared at the scrolls with mixed emotions. He figured he was going to be in Gringotts for quite some time.
' Remember. These scrolls are for Tulip.' Sirius speaks internally and begins to sign his name onto the scrolls.
