Chapter One
Revelations
Molly Weasley was not a stupid woman. People assumed that she was because of the 7 children and not having a career. They didn't know much about her. She didn't have many close friends because of the first war. They were all murdered.
She had to depend on herself and her family but there were some things she wouldn't let ride.
Severus Snape had sent a note to the Hogwarts Board of Governors about the incident with Sirius Black. They had interrogated the exhausted 13 years olds until the truth came out. Lead by Lucius Malfoy, they expelled the three. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in a spell induced sleep after crying themselves sick after arriving to the Burrow until they could go home the next day.
The thing that made her the maddest was that Albus Dumbledore had been in attendance of this meeting and had done nothing to change the results. He'd been apologetic and grandfatherly but Molly had seen the gleam in the elderly wizard's eyes. It was a thoughtful and cunning gleam that had been trained on her 8th child, Harry.
Tomorrow, there would be a meeting at the Burrow. Things would be changing.

Bill Weasley walked up the walkway of Number 4 Privet Drive. He was clad in muggle jeans and a t-shirt. His earring was gone. He looked respectable.
Inside, he was fuming. His mother had called an emergency meeting and told them what had happened. Charlie had gone to retrieve the Grangers. They were going to be meeting at the Burrow.He rang the doorbell and a huge man answered.
"Who the hell are you?" Vernon Dursley snapped.
"My name is Bill Weasley and I need to speak to you and your wife about your nephew."
Vernon's face purpled.
"The freak is at school with the rest of you freaks. Go away." Vernon hissed, furious.
"No, he is not at school. And if you don't want him to live with you until he reaches his majority, I suggest you meet me at Alphonse's in an hour."
"And you'll take him?" Vernon looked ecstatic.
"Yes."

The motley crew of adults sat in the private dining room of the Granger's side business. They owned the 5 star restaurant.
Petunia looked at the document, her nose turned up.
"So you will adopt the boy and he will no longer be out responsibility?" she asked Selene Granger.
Selene nodded. "You won't even have to acknowledge him as a relative if that is what you wish. You just need to sign and it will be taken care of."
The Dursley's immediately signed the Goblin made contract and left in a hurry. They didn't even wait for their food.
"Is there anyone we should speak about their schooling to?" Max Granger asked Molly as Arthur magicked the fireplace to allow temporary Floo access.
"Well, Remus Lupin was their teacher. He was Harry's father's friend. He would know."

Remus unbound Sirius Black after he'd forced him to take Veritaserum. He'd questioned him in detail. He pulled a copy of the memory and put it in a vial and hid it in his vault. He was about to begin to fix dinner, when his fire began to glow green and a red head man's head floated in it.
"May I speak to Remus Lupin?"
"I am Remus. Who are you?" he asked suspicious.
"I'm Arthur Weasley, the twins and Ron's father."
"How are you, sir? And how may I help you?" Remus asked perplexed.
Arthur looked serious.
"My son was expelled with Harry as you know and we are with the Grangers and Harry's guardians trying to find out some options for them. I would like to know if you and Padfoot would like to join us for this meeting and if you know any other schools."
Remus looked shocked.
"Padfoot?"
Arthur grinned.
"I've interrogated the kids and retrieved their memories and stored copies in the Weasley Vault. The floo address is Alphonse Hall. We'll see you soon."
"We'll be there in 15." Sirius said, peeking in the room.
Arthur disappeared. Remus closed his eyes and inhaled before beginning to rip around his house looking for information.

Sirius looked up from his shrimp pasta to the others looking at pamphlets that Remus had brought.
"The only thing about these schools is the probationary period and the expenses. They are twice the amount of Hogwarts. And you can't be in Hogwarts area." Molly said putting down another pamphlet.
Sirius closed his eyes and thought.
"I have an idea." He said his voice still gravely from those long years in Azkaban.
They looked at him, inquisitive.
"I am still the head of the Black family. That means I can add and remove family to myself at anytime. What if we do this? I formally enter a blood sibling ritual to either Molly or Arthur and they will be able to access the Black fortune and be able to pay for everything."
He was stared at.
"We can't accept that." Molly said stunned. "It's too much."
"Look, ma'am. Your boy saved my life and I broke his leg. I am calling this in as the life debt I owe your family."
They stared at him stunned.
"Sirius…" Remus said.
"I have to do this, Moony."
"So, which one of you is going to accept the blood binding ritual?" Selene asked.
The Weasley's looked at each other. Arthur frowned.
"I'll do it." Molly said.
Sirius grinned.
"Sweet."
"So where are we sending the kids for schooling?" Max asked.
"What do you think, Remus?"
He was thinking.
"I have another idea."
They looked at him, perplexed.
"My family is one of the more middle class families in the UK. I am not allowed to be the heir because I am the only child of my parent's marriage. Their money has lain stagnating and the only way to retrieve it for use is if I adopt two people into my immediate family. I was wondering if Max and Arthur would like to do the same ritual with me. And it will be safe because my condition is only transmitted through saliva."
Max looked at his wife. Arthur gazed at Molly.
"Yes, Remus. I will do it." Arthur said. Max nodded. Remus smiled.
"Schooling, hello?" Sirius said, squeezing Remus' forearm. Remus smiled at him.
"Well, the best idea is to split them up. Since you are removing the twins and Ginny from Hogwarts, they should also be included in this. Ginny and Hermione should go to Beauxbatons in France. Because we are going to be pure-blood or half bloods that opens a few of the more elite schools. The twins should go to Conway in Ireland. It is a more hands on school and it is military based, so they will get the discipline and the skills. Harry should go to Caereinon Academy. It is a smaller school and has fewer students, but it happens to be the most elite school based in Wales. They learn the basics to an extraordinary comprehension level and help you specialize in what you are skilled at. Ron should go to Durmstrang."
"What? Why?" Molly asked stunned.
Sirius snorted.
"Your son has the lowest tolerance in things that is against his ideals. If it's not what he believes in, then it is wrong. He needs the surprise shocked into his system."
"What about the Tri-wizard Championship that is being held at Hogwarts next year. Won't Ron be in danger of being chosen?"
Arthur said.
Remus frowned.
"One of my contacts at the ministry told me that you have to be 17 to participate this year. And the visiting schools are not bringing the ineligible. So he is safe."
"Alright. Now, what about the living arrangements?"
Sirius grinned.
"Molly is just happening to be inheriting a dowry that includes a nice manor in Ireland. It just happens to be just the right size for the Weasley clan."
Molly eyes watered.
"Sirius…"
"They will have to go to an intensive training program to get them up to standards." Remus said.
"Where would they go?" Selene asked.
"There just happens to be a school in Australia that has a very intense program during the summer." Remus said.
"They could be there while we arrange everything."
The adults grinned. You didn't mess with their families.

1 week later
The complete Weasley, Granger, Potter, Black and Lupin family lay unconscious in the Goblin after-ritual room. They had just completed the extensive blood binding ceremonies that had been done. There were a lot of physical changes.
Molly had changed from a dumpy woman to an elegant Black woman. Her fiery hair fell silken to her hips. She'd slimmed up and grew from 5'5" to 5'9". Her eyes had changed from brown to a charcoal gray. She had the hereditary Black high cheekbones and willowy form.
Arthur had changed as well. He'd grown from 5'10" to 6'2". He was a little stockier. His hair had darkened to a rich auburn and the bald spots had disappeared. His deep blue eyes had specks of a predatory gold. His canine teeth had elongated and he had become more muscular.
Max hadn't changed as much. He was already very tall at 6'3". His deep green eyes had gained golden specks as well. He'd lost all of the weight he'd gained after college and was slim and muscular. He got the elongated canines as well.
Remus had lost much of his lines. He looked younger and had no grey hairs. He was a little more muscular.
Sirius hadn't changed at all except for the red undertones to his hair.
All the adults looked younger than they were.
Sirius had also performed a sibling bond to Harry.
Then the Weasley parents had remarried under their new family alliances as well as the Grangers. Their children had changed as well.
The Weasley children had lost all of their trademark freckles. Charlie, Ron and Ginny were the only ones to retain the fiery Weasley hair. The remaining siblings all had darker hair ranging in color. Percy had even gotten black hair. They all had the golden specks in their eyes. They all grew in height. Charlie, Fred and George the stockiest of the 7 grew taller and less stocky but they were muscular than the rest of their siblings. Ron was a mixture of tall and broader of frame so he grew as well.
Hermione was 5'5" from her petite 5'2". Her brown eyes had lightened to a hazel with gold specks. She was slender and her bushy hair had straightened to a wavy deep chestnut.
Harry hadn't changed that much. He got taller but a little stockier. He lost the need for glasses. His eyes also had golden specks. His hair had straightened and wasn't messy at all. His scar had faded.
This would be a new day for the Wizarding world. And they had no warning.
Life was good.
