" I present to everyone my son, Asterion Orion Black hopefully the one day heir to the most noble and ancient house of Black". Regulus Black said holding a pale white baby with thick black hair and the grey/blue signature Black family eyes.
"Why he is gorgeous," Narcissa Malfoy exclaimed holding her own baby who in all physical aspects was pale; pale blonde hair, pale milky white skin and pale silver/blue eyes.
"You are one to talk Narcissa!" Castilla Black said looking at the Malfoy heir. "We want you and Lucius to be his godparents" she said softer. In these times, times of war, who your child's godparents were could very well be who your child spent the rest of their life with.
"If anything ever happens to us he must go to you, please he can not go to my blood-traitor of a brother. Sirius has been so twisted by Dumbledore I am sure he would raise Asterion to hate us." Regulus said to his favorite cousin.
"Of course Regulus, we would be honored." Lucius Malfoy said from his place beside his wife.
"He will be a fine young lad." Rebastian Lestrange said guiding his very pregnant wife on one side with his smaller, younger brother following after him on the other.
"What of you Bella? When I am to expect my nephew?" Narcissa asked her older sister.
"Any day now," Bella answered sounding tired.
"Still giving you trouble?" Asked Castilla taking her own baby from her husbands arms.
"He keeps me up at night and I can hardly hold anything down but it is all worth it." Bellatrix said while moving a hand across her baby bump.
"I for one am very proud of you Regulus," the one and only Orion Black said clasping a hand on his youngest son's back "I know it hasn't been easy with your brother and your mother but you have turned out quite wonderfully and produced a lovely son whom I can not wait to have be the heir to our name." With that one sentence Orion Black gave his only grandson a future, one filled with respect and fear but also hate and dishonesty. Asterion Black would go through many challenges in his life but the hardest and deadliest would be the boy who was born only a month after he himself, Harry James Potter.
4 years later
"Asterion you aren't being fair!" A young Draconius Malfoy said stomping his foot on the ground and pouting.
"It's mine Draco, and I had it first!" Asterion yelled back at one of his very best friends. It isn't that he didn't want to share his newest animal plushes, it's just that Draco was already harboring a small army of dragon plushes that he refused to share.
"Fine, then I will just play with Metri!" Draco said walking over the other child sitting in the room who was quietly drawing a picture of a large snake that he would give to his father later.
"Metri you are playing with me now!" Draco exclaimed standing in front of the only cousin he knew of, Dimitrios Lestrange. Dimitrios knew how Draco was when he was in one of his fits so he just sighed and stood up fallowing Draco over to the army of dragons.
Five Years Later
"Happy Birthday Metri!" Asterion and Draco exclaimed together as they handed Dimitrios the gifts they had dragged their fathers into Diagon Ally to purchase.
"Thank you both." Dimitrios said shyly. Then proceeded to listen to his best friends fight over whose gift he should open first. Dimitrios just smiled at them, as much as they drive him bonkers they really were his best friends.
Two Years Later
"Father hurry we are going to be late!" Asterion Black exclaimed whist handing his trunk and newly bought owl over to his personal house elf, Troffy.
"Asterion, Blacks are never late. Everyone else is just early." Regulus said to his extremely excited son.
"Now you have everything? Your robes? Texts books? You have your wand?" Asterion's mother asked whist fixing an out of place hair on his head.
"Yes mother I have everything! Now please can we go? I want to find Draco and Dimitrios before we board the train so that we can all sit together." Asterion said trying to inch out the door.
"Alright, we are leaving right now." His father said
Platform 9 3/4 was always very busy on the morning of September 1st. It had not changed a but from the day Regulus himself was excitedly boarding the train for his first year at Hogwarts. He didn't want to send Asterion to Hogwarts though, he was with Lucius and Rudolphous, the boys should be attending Drumstrang it would be safer there. He knew that before Karkaroff was carted off to Azkaban he made the school safe for all dark wizards. That's what they are dark not evil. Magic wasn't just magic, magic had parts; dark, neutral and light. Dark is based off strong emotion like hate, anger and passion, light magic is based on happiness and love and neutral magic comes from thought and drive. Just like a person, no one is evil the actions they make just might be but they aren't.
"Father do you see Draco?" Asterion said hugging close to his father's leg as Regulus looked around the striking white blond hair of the Malfoy's.
"Ah yes right over there" Regulus answered leading his son.
"Draco!" Asterion called out once the Malfoy's were within sight. "Thank the gods for your hair or else I doubt father would have ever spotted you both in this crowd."
" Yes I know it pays to have good looks." Draco said in reply.
"Where is Metri?" Asterion asked wanting both of his friends with him.
"He should be here soon father said that Rebastian is bringing him though as Uncle Rudo had a meeting he couldn't miss." Draco said proud of himself that he knew something that Asterion did not. Asterion just rolled his eyes, he truly cared for Draco but at times he was a bit much. That's when Asterion spotted the younger Lestrange brother and Dimitrios headed their way. As they Lestranges arrived Asterion hugged his father and whispered his good byes while Draco did the same.
Once the three boys found an empty compartment and settled down for the long journey to school they all snapped their fingers for their house elves to bring in their school trunks and animals. As the elves where storing their possessions where they belonged an annoying voice suddenly filled their compartment.
"What are those?" The voice screeched. The boys turned around to find who had interrupted them. They were greeted with the sight of a girl with brown bushy hair and large front teeth.
"House elves." Draco sneered at her. "What is your family to poor to own any?"
"Draco..." Dimitros started but was interrupted by the girl.
"Own?! You own these helpless creatures?!" She sounded disgusted by the very thought.
"Yes we own them, they are house elves they live to serve their master." Dimitrios informed the girl while the three houses nodded smiling, they did enjoy serving their young masters.
"That is absolutely barbaric! How could you do something so cruel."
" You are a mud blood aren't you?" Asterion suddenly said interrupting the girl's stupid lecture.
"Excuse me, a what?" She asked not liking the way he spit the word out of his mouth.
"A mud blood, dirty blood, a child of muggles." Asterion clarified with a bored look on his face.
"Oh muggles, you mean people without magic. Yes both of my parents are 'muggles' but I don't see how that makes me dirty."
"Because if anyone is the abomination here it is you." Draco said scowling at the annoying girl. "Your kind shouldn't have magic, you are a danger to us all."
"How dare you!" She yelled at him. "I will have you know that I have a gift and that I am special."
"Oh is that what mummy and daddy told you before sending you as far away from them as possible? Even they know you are a freak." Asterion asked sounding like he was talking to a small child.
"They didn't send me away because I am a freak! They let me attend Hogwarts so that I could learn to control my gift." The girl's lip had started to quiver and her eyes misted over.
"Keep telling yourself that, mud blood." Draco sneered. "You didn't fit in with the muggles and you will never fit in here with us. Now leave us." Draco waved his hand dismissively and plopped back down on to his seat as gracefully as one can plop. With Dimitrios and Asterion fallowing his actions.
"I just came in here to ask you if had seen a toad, a boy named Neville Longbottom had lost one." The girl was very close to crying now but she had come with a mission and she wasn't going until she was finished.
"Longbottom has lost his toad?" Asterion asked laughing. "It's a wonder that boy is even on this train, he is a borderline squib. I wouldn't be surprised if the toad was running away from the shame of having to be that pathetic boy's animal." Draco laughed along with Asterion as Dimitrios answered the annoying girl.
"How could we have possibly seen a toad hopping away if the compartment door was shut until you so ungracefully barged in." Dimitrios asked. The girl jut scoffed at him and slammed the compartment door shut and stormed off.
"We will be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately." A voice said echoing through the train. The boys all stood, fixing any missed placed hairs and straightening their ties before exiting their compartment and leaving the train.
"Firs' years! Firs' years over here! All right there, Harry? C'mon, follow me-" a large oaf of a man yelled out above the crowd. All if the first years gathered around him and waited for instruction. "Any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs' years follow me!" The boys all looked at echo their equally not amused at having this man tell them what to do. They knew who he was, Hagrid, the man/giant thing who was expelled from Hogwarts long ago for killing another student. But who they didn't know was this Harry. Who was he and why did Hagrid care if he was all right? He couldn't be Harry Potter, the boy who had ruined all chances for the dark wizards survival, could he? All of the first years followed Hagrid down a steep, narrow path that was dark on both sides.
"Yeh'll get yer firs' sight I' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder, "jus' round this bend here." Many of the students made sounds of amusement as the path suddenly opened onto the edge of a great black lake. There on the other side of the lake was a vast castle with many turrets and towers. While the other students where ogling the castle there were a few who had seen many castles and manors before who showed no sign of emotion.
"No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called out pointing to a fleet of small boats. Draco, Asterion and Dimitrios all climbed into an empty boat and looked around. One of the people they least wanted riding across the lake with them was prancing toward them, Pansy Parkinson.
"Oh Drakey-Poo is this seat taken?" Pansy asked fluttering her short eyelashes at Draco.
"Don't call me that Pansy!" Draco said sternly. "And yes, yes...Blaise is going to sit there."
"No he isn't, he is already in a boat with Theo, Crabbe and Goyle." Pansy said climbing into the boat. The boys looked at each other, the only person that would be worse than Pansy sitting with them was that filthy mud-blood they encountered earlier.
