Before anyone else could ask to read, the door to the Great Hall burst open.
"I'm here! I know you missed me, but I'm here now," smiled the young man in the Ravenclaw uniform.
None of the future were surprised by the arrival of their young Uncle Barty, they knew he always arrived on the second or third day of school.
So Adhara simply snapped her fingers and implanted the memories of the readings so far into the Ravenclaw newcomer's head.
"What a shitty future!" he exclaimed helplessly. "I never liked that wrinkly raisin," he added, going to take a seat next to his blonde friend, "and you, you little mad lady, don't think I'm going to let you die so easily."
The boys smiled, it was good to see Uncle Barty smile like that.
"Can I read?" he asked, not paying attention to all the eyes on him.
"Sure, Uncle Bar," Hadrian replied, sending him the book.
"Chapter Four: A Little Help for the Seer," he read with a smirk at what he had been called. "By the way, blondie and blondie, I hope you've name me as my niece's godfather or there will be problems in this friendship," he warned, remembering Luna's existence.
The Lovegood couple-to-be laughed in assurance that he would be.
Draco Lucius Malfoy was the first-born son of Lucius Abraxas Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy Nee Black. He was the boy who, at just one year old, had lost his newborn baby brother, Altair Abraxas Malfoy.
"Oh, thank you for remembering," Draco commented wryly.
"Wait, why is Helio still Helio now?" Regulus asked, not because he didn't like the idea but out of curiosity.
"My life made sense as Helio Asteri and I didn't want to change that," Helio replied with a sigh, "in any case it should be shown later so let's just leave it at I like the name Adhara gave me."
It really did seem that misfortune followed those who bore the Black surname, not only because of their known madness, a clear example of which was his Aunt Bella who was currently locked up in Azkaban along with her husband and many more, but also because there were those who disappeared without a trace. The most recent example, not counting his adored little brother, was his uncle Regulus, who had vanished from the face of the earth without a trace a year before the end of the war.
His mother along with his aunts Andy and Bella and Uncle Sirius had joined forces to search heaven and earth for him to no avail, shortly after his uncle had been taken to Azkaban like his Aunt Bella.
"My sister too?" asked the two Black sisters angrily.
Then, together with Aunt Andy, his mother set out on a solo search for his Uncle Regulus because her older sister and cousin had asked them to focus on Regulus's disappearance.
