CHAPTER ONE
The Black Family/Going to Diagon Alley
Two eleven boys walked into their family's restaurant that was called The Viper. The restaurant has been open now for thirteen years, becoming more and more popular each. The owner of the restaurant had been thinking that, when one of his eldest sons grew up, he could go to the United States and open his own restaurant there, while the other son could go to a different country and do the same, so as to expand their business outside of the United Kingdom.
The boys' names were Regulus Aquila Black III and James Regulus Black.
Regulus Aquila Black III had short black hair with dark blue eyes. Regulus didn't like his full name, so he just went by "Reggie". His papa, Regulus Arcturus Black II, always said that Reggie looked just like him when he was younger with is mama Rosa Jaime Black (nee White)'s eyes and his uncle's character.
James Regulus Black had messy jet-black hair with glasses that covered his bright green eyes. Actually, his full name was Harry James Regulus Potter-Black but he only went by his two middle names and the last name Black. His papa adopted his when he was just five-years-old. He didn't really know his biological parents, only their names, James and Lily Potter, and that he looked just like James with Lily's eyes.
Reggie and James had two younger brothers named Sirius Phineas Black IV and Orion Jamie Black II.
Sirius Phineas Black IV, who was seven-years-old, had short milk chocolate brown hair with mellow grey eyes. He had both of his parents in him but he had his mama's shy side around strangers.
Orion Jamie Black II, who was four-years-old, had short brown hair with dark blue eyes. He got more of his looks from his mama than his papa.
James and Reggie met one day when they were in a park. At their first meeting, Regulus noticed that something was wrong with James. Two years later, James' aunt and uncle went to prison and their son went into a foster home, while Regulus adopted James, changing his name from Harry James Potter to Harry James Regulus Potter-Black.
Anyway, the only reason why James and Reggie were at the restaurant was that James had a letter in his hand to show his papa. They walked into the back of The Viper to the office where their papa was.
"Papa," James said excitedly.
Regulus looked up from his paperwork and saw his two eldest sons. He gave them a smile while he leaned back in his chair. The boys walked into the office and Reggie closed the door while James gave Regulus the letter.
Regulus grabbed the letter with his smile growing bigger.
"I see you read the letter already, James."
James had an excited smile on his lips while he said excitedly, "Of course, papa! Can we go to Diagon Alley now?!"
Regulus had to tell James about him being a wizard and what happened to his biological parents. He had wished he hadn't because James had cried the whole night. James was five-years-old when he found out about him being a wizard and nine-years-old when he found out about his parents' death.
"Of course, we can go to Diagon Alley. First, I need to finish this paperwork and then we can go. Of course, we will need to take Siri and Ori with us. You know how your mama gets when I leave with you two and not the other two."
James just kept on smiling while Reggie frowned angrily. Regulus noticed this.
He sighed, "Regulus. I told you to not be rude to your brothers. You need to be there for them when they need you to be. I will not stand to see you bullying your brothers. If you do, you will be grounded until you are eighteen.
Reggie's mouth dropped to the ground.
"That's so totally not fair," Reggie complained.
James raised his eyebrow at Reggie and said, "Ma always says that life isn't always fair."
Regulus smiled softly the jet-black-haired boy.
"You are right, James. Life is not always fair, Reggie. You need to know you cannot always get what you want. We are family. Family always sticks together. Family matters, Reggie and I will not see you bullying or hurt your brothers. Do you understand me, Regulus?"
Reggie looked down at the ground and said softly, "Yes, papa."
Regulus just nodded.
Diagon Alley
James and Reggie were walking in Diagon Alley with their papa and their two younger brothers. James and Reggie were in front of Regulus with Sirius holding James' hand and Orion on Regulus' shoulders.
Everyone that the Black family passed would look at Regulus Black II because they couldn't believe their eyes. They all thought that he was dead. He just smirked at them when they looked at him and his family.
"First stop will be Gringotts Wizarding Bank," Regulus told his sons.
Reggie looked at papa and asked excitedly, "How come you never brought us here before?! This place is fantastic!"
Regulus sighed and said, "Reggie. Your mama is a muggle and I wasn't sure if you and your brothers were going to be wizards or not. I am glad all three of you are."
"So, if Siri, Ori, and I weren't wizards, we would have never found out about this place?"
Regulus nodded, "Yes. Pretty much, son."
James looked at Regulus and asked, "What about me? James was a Pureblood and Lily was a Muggle-born."
"I would have told you about the wizarding world, unless, for some odd reason, you were a squib, then you wouldn't have known about it. And please don't call them James and Lily. They are your biological parents and I don't think they would be pleased if they heard you calling them by their names."
James rolled his eyes and said rudely, "They are dead."
"HARRY JAMES REGULUS!"
James stopped and stepped back while he looked at his papa, who wore an angry look on his face.
"Harry James Regulus, James and Lily Potter gave their life up for you when Voldemort came after you and your family! I don't want to hear you talking bad about them! Yes, they are gone but they are still your biological parents and they still love you! Do you understand?!"
"Yes, papa."
Regulus just nodded his head.
Madam Malkin's Robes
James was getting his robes measured next to a blonde-haired boy.
The boy turned to James and asked, "Going to Hogwarts too?"
James grinned and said excited, "Yep."
"What house to do you think you will be in?"
James shrugged, "Either Gryffindor or Slytherin."
The boy looked at James in disgust.
"Why do you want to be in Gryffindor?"
"My biological parents were in Gryffindor while my adopted father was in Slytherin. That's why I want to be in one of those two houses. Papa says that he sees more of a Slytherin in me than Gryffindor."
"You are adopted?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"What's your name?"
"James," he replied before he jumping off the stool and walking back to his papa.
Regulus was leaning against the wall, staring at the boy that his son was talking to.
"James. I don't want you to talk to that boy again."
"Why? He doesn't seem bad."
"His father works for Voldemort and I don't want you or Reggie getting into trouble with that boy or his father. Do you understand?"
"Yes, papa. You don't have to worry. I do have a question for when Reggie and I get to Hogwarts."
"What is it?"
"Which name will they call? Harry Potter-Black or James Black?"
"I am sure that they will call Harry Potter-Black because that's your legal name now."
James looked at the ground and said softly, "I don't want to be called Potter-Black. I just want to be Black. Why did you have to keep my name the same?"
Regulus got on his knee and had James look him in the eyes.
"Harry James Regulus Potter-Black. You will always be a Potter, whether you like it or not. Harry James Potter was the name that James and Lily gave you. They will always be your parents, James. I made your name longer. I don't want you to forget your biological parents. I wish I knew more about them so that I could tell you about who they were, but unfortunately I don't. I don't want you to hate them because they left this world too early. They really did love you, James. That's why they gave their life for you. You will always be my son. I love you, James."
Tears were forming in James' eyes.
"I am sorry, papa."
Regulus hugged James and said softly, "It will be alright, James. I promise."
