Disclamer:I do not own Harry Potter Sadly enough J.K. Rowling does, If I did Harry would have married Draco and Sirius never would have died and he never would have gone to azkaban and would have been able to raise Harry. I do not own Harry Potter so I can only use the Potterverse to my own desires and do what I want.
Thank you to everyone who has waited and waited for a new chapter of this story, I am very sorry you have had to wait so long. I wish I could say that the whole time you have watied I have been writing but the truth is life has been crazy and in between writing I have had to deal with a lot of stuff. I finally got around to having time to write the chapter and then the characters desided they didn't like my idea for the story so they gave me a new idea, so now I have a new direction. I hope you love it and please feel free to comment and tell me what you think. I am starting chapter 3 and will have it up sooner then I did this chapter, I have a wonderful cousin who helps me with the idea's and then edits it. Now I will stop and get on with the chapter.
Chapter 2
Remus opened his eyes to the morning light shining into the bedroom, he looked over at the black-haired man in his arms. His husband oh how that sounded so wonderful, they decided to get married quietly at the ministry with Harry with them.
Today was going to be a big day for the little family, they would finally make Harry their son, he already called Sirius papa and him Dada.
Remus slowly crept out of the bedroom and made his way downstairs to prepare for breakfast, so everyone could eat and get dressed.
Remus heard Harry cry and started to turn off the burner to go and get him when he heard a door open and knew Sirius would get him. As he put breakfast on the table Sirius came in and put Harry in his highchair. Remus sat Harry's food in front of him and sat down to eat.
After breakfast Sirius washed the dishes and put them away while Remus went to get Harry and himself dressed. Once everyone was dressed the little family made their way to the leaky cauldron.
Walking through Diagon Ally quiet, no one paid any attention to the family. They also noticed that no one talked about the Potters at all. Once they made it to Gringots they went into a room to wait for Gurlok to arrive.
Five minutes later Gurlok came into the room and sat down, he smiled at the little family "first of all congratulations on the marriage and bonding" he said while nodding his head. Sirius smiled "Thank you, it was a quiet one with just Harry and the ministry officials" he said taking Remus's hand.
Gurlok nodded his head while snapping his fingers and a goblet appeared in front of them.
"Before we begin I must ask are you both sure you want to blood adopt him, Harry will have more of Sirius's family magic in him then the Potters and Lupins" Gurlok said.
Remus looked "why will he have more of Sirius's then mine" he asked.
"Because Sirius is a part of the sacred twenty-eight, and the most noble and ancient house of Black, he will have more in him for that reason. The Lupins are an old pureblood family, but sadly not in the same standing," Gurlok said.
Remus didn't understand why it mattered and looked to his husband for clarification. Although he spent most of his life denying it, Sirius knew what it meant to grow up as a pureblood.
"In the wizarding world the sacred twenty-eight are compromised of the oldest and most powerful pureblood families, they have this power from practicing the rituals and traditions of our ancestors who showed their respect to the magic we hold through these traditions and rituals. We are taught from an early age these traditions and rituals and exactly what it means to be from an ancient and noble house, and the power that luxury holds" Sirius said.
Remus nodded, he knew the rituals by heart because his father made sure that he knew them from an early age. The traditions where another thing, his father never taught him those because his mother didn't want her son to be a traditional pureblood.
Sirius looked at Remus for a moment and then turned toward Gurlok "Yes we want to go through with the adoption" he said with a smile looking down at Harry.
Gurlok looked at both men and pushed the goblet toward the two men "First did you bring the items I asked you to bring" the goblin asked the two men.
Remus nodded his head and took out a vial "here is the Potion you sent with the crushed rune and some of my blood mixed in" he set the vital beside the Goblet.
Remus had put a part of his magic into that rune, and then crushed it up and mixed his blood with the rune and put it in the potion and mixed it all up.
Sirius took the vials out of his pocket and looked at it, he had put his Animagus hair in the potion, but the hair had a dark protection spell on it. He had also put some of his blood in the potion and mixed it all up.
Gurlok looked at both men "now Sirius we can't do the full pagan ritual I am sorry because that will take too long, but we respect the rituals, so we allow some of it. So, with that I am sure you know an abridged version of this right" Gurlok asked the man.
Sirius nodded his head and stood up and put his vial in the goblet first, he then put Remus's vial in second. He got out his wand and put it over the goblet and started chanting "sicut superius, et inferius, sicut intus, sic non" Sirius stopped chanting and put his wand away.
He handed the goblet to Remus "help Harry drink it all up love" he told his husband with a smile as he sat down.
Remus put the goblet up to Harry's lips and tipped it up, so he could drink it until it was gone.
Once it was gone Remus set the goblet down and held onto Harry because he didn't know how much it would hurt his little boy.
The first thing Sirius and Remus noticed was Harry's hair was going from its messy mahogany brown to Sirius's straight black hair. Next, they noticed his scar was fading slowly, his lips that where thin where becoming Sirius's full lips.
Harry looked up at his fathers, both men saw that Harrys eyes had gotten a lighter green and inside the green they could see Sirius's brown eyes. Harry looked more like Sirius, but you could see Remus in him also.
Gurlok snapped his fingers and the goblet disappeared "now that the adoption is done he is fully your son congratulations. Now even though he is your son he keeps everything from the Potters, that was rightfully his from birth" Gurlok said.
"With the adoption we have put a birth certificate to the ministry in your behalf, the reason we will tell them for you not registering your son with them when he was born is because you were both helping us. We have done that before, so they will not ask questions, people will just think that Harry Potter died along with his parents" the goblin said.
Remus and Sirius looked at each other and knew it was for the best, they both knew that if they let everyone know that the little boy in Remus's arms was Harry Potter he wouldn't get to live a normal life.
"Now the heritage sheet for that we will need some of Harry's blood" Gurlok said.
Remus nodded and lifted Harry so Sirius to prick his finger, Sirius made sure 3 drops of blood landed on the parchment, and then he healed his sons finger.
Remus cradled Harry in his arms while Sirius handed the parchment back to the goblin, the wait seemed forever.
"I will hand this to you both and then we will go over everything on the sheet" Gurlok said while handing over the sheet to the two men.
When Remus and Sirius got the sheet, their mouths dropped open in astonishment, it was a shock for both.
"How did Harry become this powerful can you tell us that Gurlok" Remus asked.
Gurlok laughed "Well the Potters are a direct descendant of the Peverell line, and from Godric Gryffindor. What most people didn't know what Lily was a direct descendant of Helga Hufflepuff" Gurlok said.
Sirius and Remus where shocked at the last one neither one of them knew that about Lily though that one came as a shock.
"As for Remus I am not sure if you knew that you are a direct descendent of Rowena Ravenclaw" Gurlok said. Remus was shocked himself no one had told him this at all, of course his father didn't really care about that stuff.
"Now Sirius the Blacks are a direct descendent of Salazar Slytherin, and Merlin himself" Gurlok said.
"I was always told from an early age that the Black family was from a very powerful family and we should be proud of that. I didn't know how true he was, everyone knew that to be a Black was a privilege" Sirius said.
Gurlok looked at the two men and the little boy in Remus's arms "yes, the Black family has always been the most powerful pureblood family's because being a direct descendent of Merlin himself" the goblin said.
Remus held his son closer "what will that mean for Harry here" he asked the goblin.
"Harry will be very powerful, not only with the amount of money he has, and his heir ship, but the amount of power he will hold within him" Gurlok told the little family.
Remus and Sirius looked at each other "we don't have to worry about anyone knowing that he is actually Harry Potter, the world will know him as our son right" Remus asked the goblin worried.
"Yes, everyone will know that he is Harry Black. Like I said we have done this before for other people. The wizarding world will think that Sirius was working for us and we decided to hold the birth certificate until his contract was up because of the sensitive nature of cases" Gurlok said.
"What about Harry's name won't that be suspicious us having a son the same name as our best friends" Sirius asked.
Remus sat and though for a minute "Well Siri you grew up with James and wasn't his father's middle name Harrison. You can have them say that you named him Harrison after the man who was like a father to you and James to honor your best friend" Remus said.
Sirius though it over "or we could change his middle name to Orion after my father, then it will be less suspicious. We can still go with Remus's idea but say he has my father's middle name to honor my father who I loved also" Sirius said.
Gurlok nodded and wrote down what both men wanted to tell the wizarding world, the heritage sheet would stay in Gringots with the goblins for safe keeping.
Gurlok said to give them 15 minutes to get this sent to ministry and get everything set up then the family could leave.
While the goblin was gone getting everything set up Remus and Sirius where talking about what they had just heard.
"I didn't know you truly followed your family's ideals, and I sure didn't know you were a direct descendent of Slytherin and Merlin. How come you never told me any of these things, you spent so many years hiding this from all of us" Remus asked his husband.
"When I got to Hogwarts and became friends with James he didn't believe what my family did and made it known that everything my family held dear was wrong. I thought that if I told him that I actually believed it and followed he wouldn't want to be my friend again" Sirius said sadly.
"I didn't realize until too late that James would have still been my friend even though I though different things. As for being a direct descendent of Merlin I didn't know, my father never told me, all he said was our family was the most powerful pureblood families around and we had to keep the traditions and rituals and to always be proud to be a Black" Sirius said.
Remus nodded his head softly, he would have talked more but the door opened and Gurlok came back in and told them that the family was free to leave, and everything was done.
The new family left Gringots and made their back to the leaky cauldron and into the floo to head back home.
Upon returning home Remus noticed a beautiful black owl sitting on the window ledge. He sat Harry down to play with his toys and opened the door to let the owl inside the house.
The owl went straight to Sirius and held out it's leg for him to get the parchment that was attached. Sirius took the parchment and gave the owl a treat and watched as the owl fly out the window back to its home.
Remus shut the window and went over to his husband "who is the letter from love" he asks quietly.
Sirius turned over the letter and saw a green wax seal with a gray M on it "I think it's from Narcissa, I haven't talked to her in years" he said.
Sirius put the letter down "I will open it after we put Harry to bed, she can wait I want to spend the time with my family" he said as he sat down to play with Harry.
After both men put Harry to bed they walked back downstairs to the living room to see what was in the letter.
Remus went to get the tea that had finished and brought it into the living room and poured him and Sirius a cup.
Sirius took the letter and broke the seal and slowly opened to the letter, he took a deep breath and looked at his husband before reading the letter.
Dear Sirius,
Hello Cousin, I know what you must be thinking why I am writing you after so many years of not talking to you. First, I must say I apologies for the hurtful things I said to you, I let friends influence me. I forgot what I meant to be a Black, by the time I realized how wrong I was Lucius was my husband and I had a duty to be his wife. You were always my favorite cousin, I recently found out you had a son. I have a son who is the same age as you and I hope that it was time for me to uphold my family obligations. I will not allow anyone to dictate who I am or how I am to act anymore, I might be a Malfoy by marriage, but I am a Black by blood and that is how it will always be. I would love for you and Remus and your son to come to dinner one night soon
With all my love
Your Loving Cousin
Narcissa
Sirius set the letter down and looked at his husband "what do you think" he asks?
"You know her better than I do, but she did sound like she was honest so why not give her a chance" he told Sirius.
Sirius nodded and went into his study and wrote a letter back stating that they would love to have dinner with them one night, he sent it with their owl.
Both men went into their room and got ready for bed, it had been a long day for the little family.
