I do not own any of the characters or the background story. I hope you enjoy, right now this is a one-shot but I am considering making a story out of it. I hope you enjoy

It took a long time for Sirius to get his godson alone and when he did, he gave Harry a ring. Harry froze looking at it as his godfather placed it firmly in the palm of his hand. "What," Harry said unable to even form the words to ask what he wanted to know.

"I cannot take my lordship and even if I could, Azkaban has fried my brain," Sirius admitted. "I can't focus for long periods of time. I lack control of my temper. I cannot be the sort of lord that can bring back my families honor. Harry, you need the power behind the name to escape."

Harry was startled, not by the idea but that Sirius knew. "Escape, what do you mean escape?"

"Harry, you're breaking under their control. In third year you were powerful and had a mind of your own. Now only a year and a bit later you are breaking. You need to fight this war on your terms. Having the backing of the house of black will allow you to slip the binds the headmaster and this order are placing on you."

Harry glanced up on his godfather, he knew the power of the family. He knew its standing. The black family was legendary in the wizarding world. Both in positive political views and negative members. Before the last few generations it was considered one of the top families. With it came money and prestige but most importantly, with the name came power. "You will accept me not following Dumbledore," Harry asked barely able to believe it.

Sirius looked at him seriously, "I will easily accept you not following Dumbledore's plans straight to your death. They have ideas that don't take your wants into consideration. With this ring, you become a legal adult. It breaks all previous binds on you. It will tear apart the blood wards because with it, I would like very much to make you my son legally. The ring will give you the title, my blood will renew the power."

Harry took the vial from Sirius's hand. "You want me to be your son."

'Harry, from the moment I saw you, you were as good as my son," Sirius stated. "I will never replace James."

Harry didn't let him continue as he drank the potion and put on the ring. He hit the ground burying a scream as the magic ripped through him. Sirius helped him up when it finished. "You could have taken time to decide."

"You just offered me the world Sirius. You gave me a family instead of a dead house. I am proud to be a Potter. I'm the only one left. You said you wanted me to be your son, you thought of me as your son. I don't want to die for Dumbledore's Greater good. He's been setting me up since I was 11. I could have died a dozen times over. I can't keep doing it. I won't win and he's not giving me the training. You gave me a way to survive and a reason to take it."

Sirius pulled his godson into a hug. "You are always my number one priority. I want you to realize that. Whatever you choose, I will follow my son."
