I'm back with a new story and slowly working on the others, a majority of them will probably be deleted. This time it's a whole new me with hopefully better grammar. Anyway in this story we watch as two ancient pure blooded lines join and grow up together each facing trials and tribulations and ending up on two different sides of magical world.

Summary-: Sirius Black has his life turned upside down from the age of four when his family join forces with Merlins last remaining heir. Growing up together is the easy part even with the trouble it brings but it's the future that is Sirius' hardest task after his greatest Grandmother Morgainne le fay nee' Black tasks him with something that is not only going to change his very history but will also change everything his family stands for by accepting his true form, the grim itself. Starts pre Hogwarts.

The Sorceress and the Grim

Chapter one

The Binding.

A binding, a ritual that prolonges the life of a dying family through the exsistence of two souls living as one. A ritual that brings together two heirs destined to change the world.

It was the summer of 1963 and in a small town called Dover in the south of England a cool breeze rustled the trees gently as a sleek black car pulled into the driveway of a countryside manor. The house of Rivas they called it, a home away from home for an old pure blooded family. A family as ancient and noble as the current family that stepped out of the car, The Blacks the most noble and ancient of them all. Walburga Black, a proud good looking woman, huffed to herself as she took in the muggle gardeners that tended to their duties before slowly turning to her husband, a tall dark haired man that came and stood beside her.

"No need to wait Alfred we will take the floo back to Grimmauld place." The man said.

"But of course Lord Black" said the driver as he bowed before Orion Black, head of the most Noble and Ancient house of Black.

"Hurry it up Orion; Ezra will have my head if we're any later than we already are." Walburga snapped as she took the hand of a young boy by her side.

"Patience dear wife it is Callcus I fear will be the more, irritable." Orion replied, smiling softly down at his son that stood patiently by his Mothers side.

Four year old Sirius Orion Black looked around at his surroundings before his hard gaze turned to an aged man hurrying towards them, his emerald green robes billowing behind them as he clutched parchment's to his chest. The man didn't spare the family a single glance before he apparated as soon as he stepped past the wards. Sirius couldn't help but pick up a hint of smoke and clearly noticed the burn on the mans arm. The young heir turned and looked up at his mother noticing even more clearly his Mothers prominent bump that carried his soon to be baby sister.

"Mother, why are we here again?" Sirius asked quietly.

"I have told you, we are here to meet someone who I hope will play a big part in your life." Walburga replied as she urged her son up the path towards the house.

"That is if the binding works, there is no guarantee it will." Orion put in as he followed after them.

"It will work; I will make sure of it." Walburga stopped shortly before the door and turned to her husband "The heir of Merlin will bring a great source of strength to the family which will make our enemies think much more carefully."

"That maybe the case, but how do we even know Alyssa even takes after her Mother. Ezra maybe a powerful sorceress but she's slowly spiralling downhill. It's as clear as the sky above us Walburga, Ezra will not last another harvest moon her powers have became too much for her. You know as well as I do it is eating away at her." Orion informed.

Before Walburga could reply the tall mahogany door opened and the house elf beside it bowed as he ushered the family inside. A blind man could easily see the nervous shaking of the elf as he closed the door behind them. Orion nodded as another house elf took the traveling cloaks the family discarded before they followed the first house elf towards the lounge. Sirius didn't pay any attention to what was in front of him but to the marking's that were etched into the pillars of the house and his gaze soon found it's way up to the ceiling were a huge chandelier hung elegantly above them. The young heir squinted slightly as he detected the same markings on the ceiling that were around the rest of the house.

"Hurry it up Sirius" Orion called as he motioned for his son to enter a nearby door.

Sirius snapped his head in his father's direction and quickly hurried inside his gaze taking in the all to familiar room. Looks exactly like ours, typical. Sirius thought as he paid no mind to the elf that was offering him a beverage but instead stared at an arrogant looking man sneering down at him, his greying hair pulled away from his face. Blue eyes stared into grey as the man smirked and turned to his father, Sirius couldn't help but shiver slightly.

"He looks just like you Orion" Callcus Rivas smirked. "He'll grow into a fine husband for my daughter."

"Ah, that is only if she takes after her mother that is." Orion replied, a hint of humour in his voice.

"Well don't you have a wicked tongue Orion, one might think Walburga would have whipped that thing into place by now" A voice said by the fireplace.

A lady dressed in navy blue robes rose from her chair, dark brown curls falling loosely around her strained face. Lines were etched across her young face making her appear older than what Ezra Rivas actually was. But the Black heir knew exactly why that was; everybody knew what magic did to the body that wasn't strong enough to support it. The 38 year old Sorceress had aged more than what her years were and looked twice that. Yet her warm green eyes still held the kindness she was known for and they soon quickly found Sirius' as she knelt down before him her smile warming his heart.

"Well don't you look handsome, I have heard a lot about you young heir." Ezra said warmly. "Your Mother speaks highly of you I trust you know why you are here."

"Yes, but I do not understand the meaning behind it." Sirius asked curiously, he hadn't failed to notice another figure sitting by the fireplace. Ezra quickly noticed this and smiled up at Walburga before standing up straight.

"Alyssa, come greet our guests." Ezra called.

The figure by the fireplace quickly stood up from their place on the floor and turned to greet the Black family. Four year old Alyssa Rivas curtsied gracefully in front of them, her dark brown hair falling around her shoulders. Young green eyes soon found grey as two heirs from two great magical lines met for the very first time. Something seemed to shift in the air as the two four year old youngsters stared and examined each other. Ezra smiled more wildly as she sensed the shift and turned her gaze to Walburga and Orion. Walburga's own expression mirrored Ezra's and the two old friends shared a knowing nod.

"Preparations must begin soon as the binding needs to be completed by sundown or else we will lose our chance." Ezra instructed as she lifted a cream and ivory book from the stand in the corner, beside it stood a darker green and black book under a glass case.

"Honestly, do you ever have those books in a safe place anybody could grab them." Walburga huffed as she studied the books of white and black magic.

"Let them try" Ezra huffed. "The wards around this house are just as strong as Grimmauld's; nobody is getting in unless I or Callcus lets them"

"Walburga is right Ezra those books need to be kept in a safer spot. When will you let me place them in the vault?" Callcus asked his wife with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"When I feel it is necessary, Merlin's beard I'm not completely handicapped just yet thank you very much. Old I maybe but I'm still a lot stronger than any of you." Ezra snapped.

"Humph, fine Ezra but don't say I never warned you" Walburga huffed before she turned to her son. "Sirius will you take Alyssa outside or somewhere, anywhere, just stay out of trouble. I can't have you breaking another vase."

"I keep telling you Mother that was Narcissa, I didn't break it." Sirius replied his eyes leaving Alyssa's for the first time.

"Of course it was now go, the grownups have some business to attend to"

Sirius and Alyssa were ushered out of the room before either could retort and he soon found himself staring at a closed door, the sound of footsteps leaving echoed behind him. The young heir turned and watched as Alyssa headed out into the gardens. Sirius couldn't help but notice her fingers from her right hand twitched in random movements as she walked.

"Are you going to stand there or are you coming with me." Alyssa called snapping Sirius out of his haze.

The young boy couldn't help but grumble as he followed after her knowing he had nothing else to do. Must I always have to hang out with girls? Sirius grumbled to himself as he followed the young brunette. Her fingers still continued to twitch in a movement that soon became irritating for the young boy.

"Is there something wrong with your hand for it to twitch like that" he enquired.

"He speaks" Alyssa replied her gaze watching a young woman in the garden. "I was beginning to think you were mute."

"My mother would have your tongue for talking to me like that" Sirius said "What is wrong with your hand"

"Believe it or not nothing is wrong, half the time I don't even know I'm doing it. Mother says it's the symbols on this house I'm tracing in the air, a subconscious thing." Alyssa replied haughtily.

I hate this girl already, Sirius huffed to himself Snotty brat

"Do you have any clue about this binding thing they're going on about" Sirius asked as he sat on a step.

"Vaguely, Farther had me memorize every single line of the spell and what not. It's basically something that binds two powerful families together to prolong the life of a dying family. It's no common knowledge that my mothers dying, she won't be here to teach me how to be as powerful as her. But your mother will be able to." Alyssa informed as she turned to stare at Sirius.

"Do pray tell why my mother." Sirius said, rolling his eyes. "Wait, don't tell me. Because she's a Black witch, a witch from the dark ages, all powerful and crazy. Just like Grandmother."

"Which one Morgana or Morgaine?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"Morgaine of course, she's the only one alive or did your parents not teach you that." Sirius answered annoyance clear as glass in his young voice.

Alyssa never replied she just sat down on the step and curled her finger around her hair as she watched the sun glisten behind the trees. Sirius couldn't help but watch, his brows narrowing in confusion as he felt an unfamiliar pull inside him. Impatience got the better of him as he eventually sat down not bothering to brush away the dust on the step.

"You feel something funny inside don't you." Alyssa whispered.

"I don't like it and so far I don't like you."

"How nice of you to say but can I ask why."

"You haven't given me a reason to yet"

Again Alyssa didn't reply but instead hummed to herself as her hand curiously wrapped itself over Sirius' and squeezed reassuringly. The young Black stared at the girl and pulled it away as though he'd been electrocuted.

"You do what I do, get defensive in the company of those you don't know or in situations you don't like."

"Oh what would you know. "Sirius barked quickly before throwing himself on the floor. "I was happy enough teasing our house elf until my parents dragged me here, talking about some binding ritual that will help the family in ways they couldn't even imagine. Bullocks is all I say"

"That's a bad word." Alyssa added as she stared at him in amusement.

"Yeah I know, Father says it all the time before and after Grandmother Irma shows up. She's my mother's mom. Father doesn't seem to notice that I eavesdrop all the time, well he probably does just doesn't care I suppose."

"Is it weird how we're talking so easily now when we've never met before."

Sirius didn't reply he just nodded and stared up at the ceiling of the open conservatory noticing yet again the markings that he'd seen around the rest of the house. He soon remembered were he had seen them before and everything quickly fell into place as to why he was here.

"There are druid markings all over this house; they're from the old ways." Sirius said suddenly.

"Yes, Mother finds they add an extra bit of security on the house but Father doesn't think so. Mother has become quite paranoid lately and keeps saying she's going to die soon."

"It would explain why they're arranging a marriage between us."

"It's more than that, it's more than marriage. Mother taught me it would keep me safe, keep the family safe."

"Binding's only work for those who are destined for each other" Sirius whispered quietly.

"What did you say?"

Sirius never got a chance to reply as Callcus Riva's showed up behind them, ushering them inside and back towards the lounge. Sirius quickly noticed a sense of magic coming from the room and shivered at the strength of it, Alyssa sensed it as well and the young Black saw how she wrapped her arms around herself as a flicker of fear etched over her face.

"I take it you two got to know each other a little better." Ezra said, her smile seeming to be the only source of warmth in the room.

"There is no time for that, we need to get a move on if this is to work" Walburga interrupted impatiently.

Ezra nodded her expression hardening as she placed the two children in front of each other. Looking down both heirs noticed a pentagram drawn onto the floor yet inside the pentagram there were druid symbols that seemed to glow in the minimal lighting. Sirius slowly began to feel a trickle of fear seeping into him but he knew well enough if he let it show his parents would not be happy. The young heir couldn't help but look into the face of Ezra Rivas to find some comfort but instead his eyes caught the shinning eyes of her daughter instead. Sirius soon noticed the same fear he was feeling echoed loudly in her eyes and he couldn't help but walk forward and take her hand. But it was that exact moment when their hands touched did the pentagram glow brightly and a ghostly voice echoed around the room.

"On the eve of the harvest moon when magic is at it's highest I ask of thee, head of the noble house of Black do you submit your heir to the binding of souls." The voice of Ezra whispered in a cold voice.

"I do." Orion answered back and as he whispered those two words a beam of light wrapped itself around Sirius' hand and locked onto Alyssa's wrist.

"And do you head of the house of Riva's submit your heir to the binding of souls."

"I do." Callcus replied after a moment of silence before another beam of light wrapped itself around Alyssa's hand and locked onto Sirius' wrist.

"Then on this night I bind these two souls for eternity until death tears them apart or till the binding succumbs to commitment on the eve of their 21st birthday. If any soul see's any reason why these two children of magic should not be brought together let the ghost of their ancestors speak and divide the circle."

A moment of silence passed and before either one of them could speak Ezra raised her wand and a soft glow soon began to grow brighter, the two bands of light around Sirius and Alyssa's hands tightened and changed to a shade of red before a burst of white light filled the room. Within seconds the light disappeared and eyes that had been closed opened to see the two heirs still standing in their place, the pentagram no longer existent on the ground. Sirius blinked to clear his vision before noticing a thin silver band on his index finger glowing softly; he looked up and noticed the same on Alyssa's hand before he turned to his parents who each wore a proud expression on their face.

"It worked." Walburga smiled as she went forward and wrapped her arms around her son. "I am so proud of you Sirius."

Sirius didn't reply instead he watched behind his mother as Callcus Rivas sneered in clear annoyance at the successfulness of the binding. His gaze hardened as it caught the eyes of the young heir, yet with his hardened gaze Callcus Riva's slowly smirked wickedly before winking at the boy. Sirius watched as Callcus patted his daughter on the shoulder as she was hugged by her mother before leaving the room. Soon his gaze turned down to the ring on his finger and he began to wonder what his future had in store for him now as a thought that had been playing at the back of his mind since the very second he entered the house became more pronounced. A thought that he knew he should trust and trust in it he would. Turning his gaze back to the door Callcus had just left through Sirius watched through the crack as Callcus Rivas shoved open the hallway doors in pure anger.

Don't trust Callcus, don't trust any of them.
