Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 45

Adriane spent the rest of the day with her Dogfather. The two of them just talked, and Sirius spent several hours telling her stories about her parents.

"One time James and Jack were having a mock duel, normally that would be fine if it was in a safe space. Unluckily though, they were in the middle of the Gryffindor common room and happened to hit Lily with a color-changing charm."

Adriane laughed, she was enjoying these stories of her parents. She couldn't believe some of the things they got up to. "What happened then?" She asked eagerly.

"Well, Lily-flowers skin and hair turned Slytherin green, boy was she bloody pissed. She started chasing your father and uncle around screaming and throwing stinging hexes at them." Sirius laughed carefreely.

Spending a few months in the time chamber had certainly helped Sirius heal. He no longer jumped at shadows nor was he stuck in the memories of the past when he saw his godchild.

He no longer had that haunted look about him anymore. Instead, his eyes sparkled with life and laughter once again.

"I bet the three got detention for sure." Adriane giggled, she was having a blast hearing these stories.

"Oh, for sure! Old McGonagall had to drag all three of them to the hospital wing because your mom wound up giving Jack Bunny ears and a tail, while also giving your dad cat ears and a tail." Sirius had to wipe away tears of laughter after explaining, this was just what he needed after all this time.

And to think, Jack was alive and getting treatment for what happened to him. Hopefully, he will be able to explain what happened to him soon. Sirius knew he absorbed a lot of dark magic without getting it cleaned out of him like he was supposed to. He just didn't know what made him do something this stupid.

Jack used to be an amazing curse breaker because he could absorb the dark magic on an item, thereby making it safe for others. As long as he went through a cleansing ritual once a week, depending on how much he'd taken in, he would be fine. Sometimes he had to go through it twice a week but never more than that.

He was also wondering how the hell he had forgotten Jack. James and Jack were like brothers to him, they were as close as three peas in a pod.

"Do you think Uncle Jack will be okay tomorrow?" Adriane asked after a few moments.

"Hey, he'll be okay, buttercup don't worry. You're Uncle Jack's pretty strong, he'll survive." Sirius wrapped an arm around his goddaughter hugging her and rubbed her arm to comfort her.

The two stayed like that until it was time for bed, Adriane said she would take Sirius to town tomorrow to pick up a few more clothes and some things for his room.

~Tims skip~

The next day Adriane once again went to gotham, this time to the shopping center. She explored the shopping area with him, both of them picking up some new things. Sirius more than her since he had more he needed to get.

After that, the two magicals made a quick stop home to drop off their stuff before heading to the bank. Adriane couldn't help but feel nervous, she had so many questions running through her head.

Did the ritual work?

Would he like her?

Was he sane again?

Would they be able to explain to Batman that the Joker wasn't something he needed to worry about anymore?

To be honest, the last question was something that's been worrying her the most. Would they have to move again? She didn't want to, but she would if it was for her family. Her Uncle Jack had suffered enough in his life, she refused to let him suffer more because of the stupid bat not realizing that he was sane now.
