The Black Situation

by LycanTheWriter

Harry doesn't know it but his life is going to change. He will learn that he isn't alone and that his friends aren't really his friends. He has someone to count on. His godbrother. He will find out the truth and who his real friends are. Someone has been waiting a long time to tell him the truth. That someone is Hercules James Black, the son of Sirius black and the godson of James

1. Chapter 1

*I don't own Harry potter or any of the characters. The only character I own is Hercules James Black.

** I came up with this idea about a week ago and it just wouldn't leave my head. So I thought I'd put it in as a story and see what others thought. It will be mainly Harry, Neville, Draco, and Hercules. They each have their own strengthens and weaknesses. They each have lost someone in the last war. So please review but do not read it if you don't like some bashing of Ron, Molly and Ginny.

Hercules James Black

Hercules James Black was an interesting young 13 year old Slytherin. He was born on March 13th 1979. His favorite subjects were charms and potions. He had Outstanding's in all his classes. His teachers thought he was a charming and smart young man that was a complete gentleman. He was raised by a strict grandmother that wanted to see him as a strong Lord one day. She wanted him to never take anything for granted. He was going to work on to get what he wanted. Hercules also normally went by James. He knew everyone would pick on him for his first name. Hercules was given to him by his mother for Hercules was the greatest hero in Greek history and it followed the black family tradition.

Hercules or James life started out pretty badly. It was during the end of the war with Voldemort. Hercules father was a brilliant hit wizard that had the best capture record along with his godfather James. His Mother had fixed ties with her brother and father but it wasn't enough to keep them protected. The night that the Potter's were killed and Harry was luckily alive. Hercules father had gone to check on Peter the secret keeper. Leaving his mother and him alone, but with James their secret keeper gone. The wards had gone down without Sirius knowing. Bellatrix blasted the door off the wall and walked into the room. Hercules Mother jumped up with her wand ready to defend her only son. She knew that Bellatrix used dirty tricks and hoped someone would come to help them. Millicent stood her ground. She wouldn't ever let anyone touch her baby. She slowly raised her fingers to her necklace and pressed down on it. It was a special necklace that Remus, Sirius, and James had given her, Lily and Alice... It warned them that they were in danger and needed them. She had just hoped one of them would show if not she had to fight for her baby boy. She looked back at him and that was her mistake. Bellatrix had taken advantage, she cast the one of the worst unforgivable, cruciatus curse. Caught unaware and went down Millicent, she wouldn't scream which made Bellatrix hold the curse longer.

There was a pop, the sound of someone apparating close by, Bellatrix turned away and looked quickly then turned around and finally sending the killing curse at Millicent and apparated away. Remus had come running through the blasted door and saw Millicent laying on the floor. Then he had heard Hercules crying. He ran straight to him and picked him up, took one last look at Millicent and apparated away.

Remus had apparated to Longbottom Castle surprised at what he found there. He found Augusta Longbottom holding Neville tightly and crying. When he heard what happened, he became angry. Remus knew things wouldn't ever be the same, but when he looked at Hercules and Neville, Remus knew that he would fight for their lives.

Hercules would be a strong heir along with being a strong protector.

Neville would grow up with a brother to lead him and teach him.

Hercules wouldn't ever be dark or light.

Remus would teach them to be grey. Never following anyone.

**Next chapter: brings in Harry, learn that Draco isn't dark and the candle lighting for the death of their past.
