"Alright James I want you to behave while you're there, try not to prank much – "
"Yes mum I understand" cutting Dorea off, James rolled his eyes at her giving him another lecture.
Harry who wasn't paying much attention noticed someone had dropped their ticket. He picked it up & hurried after the owner "Please wait! You dropped you ticket." The family of four turned to face him, that's when Harry noticed that is was Sirius that dropped his ticket.
"Oh thanks mate! Can't leave without this" Sirius replied reaching to take the ticket out of Harry's hand with a smug smile. "Harry dear, don't just run by yourself" Dorea and Charlus power walked to the little group. "Your son was just giving my son his ticket he so recklessly dropped, thank you young man." Orion thanked Harry. "It was no problem sir; my name is Harrison Potter, pleasure to meet to your acquaintance sir" Harry introduced himself, "You raised such a polite young boy I must say Dorea" Walburga observed "Thank you Walburga. Is Sirius also starting Hogwarts?" Dorea asked her distant cousin.
Harry looked between the two confused 'I didn't know they were related' he thought to himself.
"Yes he is, although I'm worried his mischievous side will get the better of him" Walburga replied. Harry turned to Sirius and asked "Do you like pranks?" Sirius nodded with a mischievous grin "Yeah!" Harry grabbed his hand and dragged him towards James "James! He likes pranks too" Harry exclaimed to his brother. James looked Sirius giving him a smug smirk, he stuck his hand out and introduced himself "James Potter" Sirius took his hand "Sirius Black."
Harry grinned at the two, "Make sure to tell me all about your adventures at Hogwarts James! It was nice meeting you Sirius!" Harry said to the duo, they turned to Harry to give him a giant grin. Harry decided to give the two privacy to get to know each other and dashed back to his family.
"Though I do worry about the education at Hogwarts…" Charlus said with a displeased face, "I do agree with you there, they've dumbed down the education too much for muggle born and raised students" Orion replied nodding his head at Charlus statement. Harry put a hand under his chin and thought out loud in a low voice, "maybe if they make a school for muggle born and raised students as soon as they perform accidentally magic they wouldn't have to tone down the education in magical schools…" he trailed off not realising his parents and the Blacks heard.
"My, that sounds like a magnificent idea" Walburga said with a thoughtful face startling Harry. His face dusted with a light pink cheeks, realising they had heard him; Charlus ruffled Harry's head to Harry's embarrassment.
"This little one… I won't wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in Ravenclaw with the amount he reads" Charlus boastful told Orion and Walburga; Orion smiled "I wouldn't be surprised if Regulus was in Ravenclaw as well. Although we would prefer Slytherin, we'd rather our sons happy."
Harry felt his brain freeze in shock, this Orion and Walburga are completely different to all the stories he heard about them, and Walburga attitude is different to how her portrait was back in his time. Harry quickly shook off his shock, he turned to face Regulus "Hello, I'm Harrison Potter, Harry for short" Regulus smiled and introduced himself as well "Hello, my name is Regulus, Reg for short" The boys smiled at one another.
"Would you like to come over for a cup of tea? I'm sure the boys would like to spend some time getting acquainted" Walburga asked "We would be delighted" Dorea replied, she gestured Harry to follow them as the Potters and the Blacks walked to the floo network. Orion turned around to them "Just say Black Manor and the wards will let you in as our guests" and one by one they all flooed to the manor.
"Welcome to The Black Household."
"You have a very lovely home" Harry commented, "Come let's go the library" Regulus urged Harry, dragging him down the hall. "My, it seems that they'll be lovely friends" Charlus observed, "This way to the garden, it's a lovely day to sit by the garden Orion directed.
The Black Library
"So what do you like to read?"
"Mmm I like pretty much everything" Harry replied with one hand under his chin. "Maybe we could look at some old books then?" Regulus suggested, "That's a great idea," Harry agreed.
The boys wondered to the back of the library where all the old books were, "No one really reads these, except me" Regulus commented. Harry looked around at all the selves, excited to read new books he's never heard of, out of the corner of his eye he saw an old hardcover book, the binding was slightly falling apart as it stuck out of the self.
"What's that book over there?" Harry pointed at the book, "That's a really old book about creatures, it goes into great detail about every creature, even werewolves" Regulus explained. "Oh wow! Can I read it?" Harry asked eagerly "Sure" Regulus nodded.
'Maybe this way I can help Remus earlier in this timeline' Harry thought to himself.
Regulus sat next to Harry reading a potions textbook as Harry flipped through the book reading as much as he could about werewolves. As he turned the pages there was certain passage that caught his eye.
