We enter the old looking building and my jaw drops when we enter, it was much bigger on the inside then the outside. "Keep your mouth shut kid! It's unappropriate," A portrait of a beautiful yet crazy looking woman yells, looking at me with a piercing stare. I snapped my jaw shut and looked around in amazement.
"Walburga, calm down he doesn't even know about the magical world. This is Harry Potter your great nephew." Cassi yells at the portrait who turned to look at me in amazement and with a hint of pride in her eyes. Then I realized what she had said.
"Magic? Is that what I can do?" I ask Cassi and she nods with a smile on her face. Excitement surges through me and a smile appears on my face, I'm not a freak. There is a whole world of people with my powers, my relatives were wrong all along.
"Now why don't you come and meet my husband Regulus Black also known as Lord Black," She says and I nod excitedly as I follow her through a door. A long dark eerie hallway appears and I look at in fascination, this house from the looks of it is very old and prestigious like I expected.
We stop in front of two large dark oak wood doors with a snake engraved on both silver handles. Cassi knocks on the door and a voice beckons us to enter. She opens the door and we both enter a dark green and black study, a man sat on a comfy looking black leather chair. He had black short curly hair, pale skin that made his glowing blue eyes look all the more entrancing. He looked only twenty seven years old at the most. He was very handsome and I could tell why Cassi had married him, he also had a very powerful aura and I could sense the magic in the room.
"Ah, you must be Harry Potter I assume?" He asks me and even his voice is amazing, all I can do is nod politely. This family is obviously a stickler for traditional ways. 'It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Regulus but you can call me Reggie if you want." He says with a fond smile on his face and I slowly smile back.
"Reg, this isn't the time for this type of stuff. We must get Harry's bedroom ready and get him a whole new wardrobe, we should also go see a doctor. I'm afraid the muggles didn't treat him very well. Not to mention he knows nothing of our world." Cassi says in a quiet yet serious tone.
Regulus's eyes darken and a hint of something appears in his eyes as he turns to me. "What did those muggles do to you exactly Harry?" He asked me and I gulped, shifting uncomfortably.
"W-well my cousin and uncle hit me a lot. My aunt just gave me lists of chores to do everyday and treated me like a slave. They didn't give me food really, I would get a little at least though, they um made me live in the cupboard under the stairs my whole life," I finish slightly out of breath, it felt good to get it off of my chest, to tell someone what they did to me. "They would also call me a freak and worthless, you see they hated anything abnormal." I continue and Regulus has a murderous look on his face whereas Cassi has a grim look on her face.
"We will deal with them someday, but for now Harry we have more important matters. First we should explain our world to you so you aren't confused." Regulus says and I nod, waiting for him to continue.
"Well the Black family is a ancient and noble pureblood line that has been around since the beginning. The Black family believes in blood purity, and that muggles, or also known as non magical beings and muggleborns, also known as magical beings born from a muggle family deserve to be kept out of this world. The muggleborns and their families have been destroying the original traditions, holidays and practices, replacing with christian holidays and other stupid holidays. Your mother was a muggleborn but I must say she was a good one and full of knowledge, she would be one that would've been easily accepted into the wizarding community as she researched our ways. But your father came from a pureblood family that participated in muggle holidays and believed it was okay that they were ruining our world. A leader came to rise, he was named Lord Voldemort, the Blacks and all other pureblood families and some halfblood families followed him. He had the same beliefs as us, but in the end he ended up being crazy. He killed more purebloods and half bloods then he did muggles or muggleborns. Me and Cassi fled from his grip and came here where my mother was, my older brother Sirius was on the light side who was against dark magic and neutral magic were bad and that muggles and muggleborns should be accepted into the magical world. The leader of the light named Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster at Hogwarts, the school where all kids in England go to school. He had defeated the previous dark lord that just generally wanted to take over the world, so he had a great influence and made everyone think we were evil, but the thing is dark doesn't have the same definition of evil. Well anyways there was a prophecy made, that a boy born at the end of July would be the one who could end Voldemort. You were the boy, so your parents went in hiding. But a close friend of your family turned traitor and told Voldemort where your parents were. He came to your home on October 31st 1981 and killed your parents. But when he tried to kill you the curse rebounded and killed him. So on the light side everyone thinks your their hero, you are the most popular boy in Britain." Regulus finally finishes and I'm shocked into silence, not having a clue as to what to say.
Regulus puts a comforting hand on my shoulder as I just sit there. "I'm not going to be on the light." I finally say and I see Regulus and Cassi smile at me. I feel a surge of pride go through me, I had made the right choice.
"Now I'm going to get my personal healer to check you out Harry, okay?" He asks me and I nod. "We'll also get rid of those glasses." He says and I nearly squeal in excitement, I hate these things. "I'll be right back." He says and vanishes in a flash of green in the fireplace, I watch slightly amazed.
He appears ten minutes later with a man that looked in his mid forties. "This is Harry Potter, you will keep everything that happens and is discussed in here a secret." He tells the man who nods. "Harry this is Doctor Yaxley." Regulus says and I nod.
"Okay Harry, I want you to lay down at that couch as I do a diagnosis spell." He says and I do as told. He mutters a spell with a flick of a wand and I shiver as a wave of coldness surges through me then suddenly a piece of paper appears in Yaxley's hand. I watch as he reads it, his eyebrows furrowing and his lips pursing. He hands the paper to Regulus who's grip on it becomes tight.
"Can I see it?" I ask and they nod, handing it to me and my hand shakes slightly as I take it into my hand.

When I was done I was mildly shocked, but also not that much. I was half expecting it to be bad, this wasn't as nearly as bad I expected it to be. I hand it back and they all look at me expectantly. After a few moments I don't say anything and they all sigh.
"Well Harry, we should go to Diagon Alley and get you some things and pick up your potions." Regulus says and I nod, following them to the front yard. "Grab onto my hand." He says and I grab on and we the familiar feeling of apparition surges through me as we disappear in a flash.
