Maggie wasn't sure she should be here for this, as Aurora confessing every thing that had happened or been discovered including her theft of Grimauld and the potter vaults, seemed a bit personal. Sirius had asked her to stay when she'd made to go; Aurora looked grateful for Maggie's support. Padfoot sat almost stoically through it all only frowning as she told him how she had felt lost and betrayed in the beginning, and laughing when she told him her house elf had copied all the documents and paperwork involving her or Harry from Dumbledore's office.
"Well, under the circumstances you didn't do half bad, but you aren't prepared by a long shot for a school like Athena's. You are going to need more lessons on etiquette, dance, politics and insults before you go there. Or they will eat you up alive. Yes insult's" the look on their faces must have been comical for Sirius was grinning again beyond amused. "You're words are your greatest weapon learn how to use them, we can dig up portrait's of my great aunts Cassiopeia, Ursula, Drusilla, and Cedrilla. They were masters of their craft. As for the Gringots keys you found at Grimauld, if the keys haven't been recalled then the vaults still opened and all you need to access it is the key they don't have to know who you are. So we can go clean those out and I can start the rituals and paper work needed to start my new identity."
"There are rituals to give you a new identity?" Maggie asked intrigued.
Sirius snorted "Of course there are, There is a reason the Blacks reuse their names so much, I'm hardly the first Black to fake their death. I'm not even to the first to pretend to die inside the ministry hell, I'm the third 'Sirius' to 'die' inside the ministry the first one used the minister himself as both a cause of death and a witness. Poor man never did figure out what happened." Sirius added solemnly "All I need is the Family tapestry and to figure out who I want to be next."
Kreature was happy to fetch the tapestry and family paperwork, and a chest containing a relatively small collection of books. Sirius wasted no time in combing through it all find himself a new name, new parents and a new background. Finding a new name involved the complicated process of hanging the tapestry on the wall and throwing darts until He found one he liked and that the girls didn't make fun of too much.
Finding new parents was slightly more complicated. They couldn't have another child a year before or after Sirius' own birth, if they had other kids Sirius would have to send them a packet with his new name a small profile of his looks likes, dislikes, and general behavior incase anyone came looking. The new parents would also have to be the appropriate ages and from the same branches; or as close to the same branches as you could get, to his original parents. How did they know all this? The small collection of books all hand written contained titles on the inside covers such as 'how to fake your death the flamboyant the subtle and the in-between (authors vary per chapter)' Auroras favorite, 'so you need to get rid of the body' and Maggie hadn't stopped giggling since she'd spotted 'How to give your kids the talk and scare them into behaving, without risking your chances of someday getting grandkids' (lesson one was written under it, in a different script, proclaiming, 'disregard chapter seven'. Sirius pulled out one he thought they should all read and dutifully informed them that he had been taught from it as a child "My great, great aunt wrote this and the ministry promptly banned it our copy automatically updates to include recent changes in the law. Bold red ink spelled the title on the cover of Two-thousand and two ways to legally torture friends, family, and enemies alike."
"Sirius you know most families don't pass down rule books for better rule breaking" Maggie giggled out. Sirius was rather offended.
"THEY ARE NOT RULE BOOKS, they are loose guidelines to inspire those in need."
Sirius then gathered all the ingredients needed for the rituals that would change his appearance and not his gender, and to change his name because most pure-blood family's performed naming ceremonies for their kids and a simple spell all law-enforcement were taught could identify that name easily. His new 'Mother' was still alive and so had to be informed once everything was done. They had found her name in one of the 'guideline' books with a list of those who volunteered just for this purpose.
After they finished Padfoot had to rest again it had taken a lot out of him, but once he was in good shape and could move around more they made an appointment with gringots and then the gnomes, to go over Black family finances and to see where he stood with everything. He made Aurora do the same in case her parents had set something aside for her. She should at least have a dowry vault all Blacks did, according to Siri. Once that was straightened out they would go over all the paperwork from Dumbledore and see in the house elves couldn't sneak in for more, the former convict wanted to know if Dumbledore had stolen other kids and where they might be if he had. The new Orion Septimus Black, was something to behold healthier than ever, he was tall broad shouldered his traditional Black's Storm Grey eyes had lightened some a bit more blue could be seen shining through the grey, his nose was smaller and a bit pointier, his ears had changed shape sharper tips and a more rounded bottom edge. His tattoos were no more, Which disappointed him but he happily declared his attentions to get new once that wouldn't connect him to his old life in any way that was obvious.
