Chapter Seven: Bring on the First Storm.
Harry was tackled by the large Grim like dog, Padfoot or as the wizard world would know him Lord Sirius Black. Padfoot licked Harry across the face with a barking style laugh "Gross!" Harry shouted trying to wipe off the slobber. Andromeda giggled lightly at the scene in front of her, she never believed that Sirius was guilty however being she was just a Healer at St. Mungo's there wasn't much she could do. "Guh, get off me you great beast!" Harry wailed as Padfoot tried to lick him again.
Padfoot sulked for a moment and stepped off of Harry and walked over to a lounge chair, changing into Sirius as he did so. The Black threw himself into the chair and sighed "Home, Sweet home. Eh Andie?" He asked with a cocky smile.
Andromeda rolled her eyes "You're just lucky, I was using this place to visit Nymphadora when she came here." She snapped, brushing a spare piece of hair out of her face.
Sirius let out a laugh "Well, I say we get some business out of the way first." He said looking over at Harry "Good to see you Pup." He gave his god-son a wink.
Harry grinned and sat up from the floor, Andie rose a brow "What are you talking about?" She asked then felt a strong tug on her magic.
"I, Sirius Orion Black, Lord of the Noble and Ancient House of Black extend my offer to the once honored Andromeda Cassiopeia Black and Her daughter Nymphadora June Tonks to once again join in the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. So Mote be it." Sirius said with a small bow of his head to Andromeda who had frozen when he started to speak. His ring glowed brightly and two Raven's glowed from it, one flew off to Tonks location and the other hovered in front of her.
"Sir-Sirius…" She said with small tears sliding down her cheeks "I, Andromeda Cassiopeia Black, accept Lord Blacks offer to rejoin with my birth family. It is an honor I do not deserve, and shall thank the Lord from the bottom of my heart. So Mote be it." She bowed to the Lord of the Family and to the Raven which then flew into her core.
Harry sat quietly; the Black family magic was cold, mysterious, haunting yet familiar and unintimidating. He didn't know what to make out of the situation being that Sirius was Lord of his house; he knew that it was the highest honor one could hold in the House system. Though Harry assumed he could do the same with the Potter House being it was Ancient like the Blacks, a Half-Blood would never be able to claim a Pure house. Right?
Sirius stood slowly and gave Andromeda a large hug "It is an honor to welcome you home." He said softly. While his older cousin cried softly into his chest, he let her do so until she was finished.
Sirius then turned to Harry, he let Andromeda take a seat and she watched him strangely "Harry, you are the closest think I have to a Son." Andromeda's eyes widen "Harry, I'd like to be more than your God-Father."
"Sirius, he'll never let this." Andromeda started, wiping her tears with her sleeve "He's a Potter, not a Black."
Sirius shook his head "He's a third generation Black, his Grandmother was a Black." He snapped, crossing his arms.
Harry looked from the two "What are you getting at?" He asked with a raised brow.
Sirius, uncrossed his arms and rubbed the back of his neck "Well…With your permission…I'd like to adopt you..Magically of course…blood only if you wanted." He explained with a small grin. "By doing this no one would question my right as your guardian, in the Muggle world they can take your children away…in the Wizard world, you either run away or get dumped at an Orphanage…"
Harry frowned at that last bit "Well, I have very little doubt you'll just drop me or make me want to run away…all of the time." He chuckled at the look Sirius had made. "What would happen if we did the blood thing?"
Andromeda spoke up "Well, it would make you his direct heir unless he states else ware in his Will. Should he have another son, it would still go to you being his oldest by right of blood." She explained, looking down at her hands "By doing this, the Black magic would be able to accept you, however this would create a conflict, being the Potter House will also need an heir. I do not know what will happen if you take on both roles."
Sirius cut her off "I do, Houses join together all the time. In fact Harry your blood holds that of the Peverell family. So if you had two children both males one would be Potter the other could be Peverell and then you just recreated a House." He said with a casual shrug "Being the only Heir of the Potter House should grant you some leeway with the family magic."
Harry nodded slowly "So, that would make me your son?" Sirius nodded "And you would be able to take me away from the Dursleys and place me with someone, say Remus for example?" Harry said with a sly grin.
"Clever…" Sirius stated with a barking laugh "But, I would rather see what other options are out there" He looked at Andromeda "While I do love Remus. His carelessness almost got five people killed last time, Severus, Hermione, myself, Ronald and You. I'm not counting Peter, wanted him dead then want him dead now." He said with a shrug and a voice laced with venom "If all else falls through, he'll take you in until I can."
Andromeda smiled at Harry "Already thinking like a Black?" She cooed, like a mother would have.
Harry shrugged "When you grow up like I did, you have to be sneaky or you'll starve to death." He said carefully, with a cringe at the memories "The Hat wanted me in Slytherin, maybe I should have been."
Sirius waved him off "The Hat wanted to the same thing with me, I threatened to set the bloody thing on fire or curse it. Prongs and I were already fast friends, wasn't going to mess that up."
Harry nodded "So, what do we need to do?" He asked standing up from the floor.
Sirius sighed "Are you a hundred percent sure you want to do this?" He asked carefully.
Harry nodded "I am, you're the only father figure I have." He said calmly.
"Alright." Sirius said with a sigh, he stepped back "Hold still."
Harry nodded, as Sirius started to circle him waving his wand at the floor as he did. It created a Magnus Circle, one used for rituals and summoning. Andromeda helped out a little by summoning the things he would need for the ritual, a dagger, a bowl, a box with designs on the sides and a stone Raven.
Sirius nodded his head "Alright, I want you to focus all of your magic to your skin." He said with a wave of his wand.
Harry rose a brow and nodded slowly, closing his eyes he focused on his core he knew it was his core because when he fought Voldemort his first year, this part of him felt bent and stretched. The warm prescience told him he was doing it right.
Sirius and Andromeda took a step back, Harry's aura was nearly blinding. It was a cross of Green, Ruby and a little bit of Black, all spinning around him wildly. The Ruby was the Potter magic Sirius knew that from watching James, Green could be Lily's protection or Harry's own magic and the Black he wasn't sure of.
Sirius decided to take action, he stepped forward drawing the dagger and summoning his own magic. His was a Purple color, with flares of Scarlet he focused on just his left arm. While Harry's was like lightning and fire, Sirius' was almost air like, wispy and calm. He cut into his hand and held it out to Harry "Take it." He said with an iron like voice.
Harry opened his eyes watching Sirius, cut into his hand then holding the dagger out to him. Harry nodded and took the dagger, slicing his own hand like Sirius had done.
"Now shake my hand, and hold it." He said loudly, the floor cracked.
Harry nodded and extended his hand, Sirius met him halfway and then he held it. Andromeda was on the outside, placing what warding she knew around the pair, trying to keep their magic contained.
Sirius took in a deep breath "I, Sirius Orion Black, Lord of the Noble and Most Ancient House of the Black. Do adopt Harrison James Potter, as my son in blood, sprit and Magic. Do you accept this Harrison?" He asked loudly.
Andromeda placed down her wand and the started to create the mixture to summon the Raven, all Blacks knew how to do the ritual. It was in case the heirs would die before their time, like Regulus.
Harry nodded his head once, something inside of him swelled and he began to speak. "I, Harrison James Potter, Heir of the Resilient and Most Ancient House of Potter, do accept Lord Blacks offer to become his son, in Blood, Spirit and Magic, So Mote Be it." He called, their magic mingled a little Scarlet and Green joined together and left traces of the other within their respected magic. Sirius and Harry both stepped back, Andromeda bleed into the bowl "I Andromeda Cassiopeia Black, summon the Raven of House Black to test Harrison James Potter, to see if he is worthy of House Black." With that the bowl caught fire and the familiar scent filled the air.
"Oh my, been a busy boy haven't we Sirius." The Raven said being brought out of the Shadows, with bright purple eyes "Harrison….Well…I has been a long time since I've seen a Potter… So let me see" She looked deeply into his eyes "Well, A hidden Slytherin eh? Clever, Resourceful and a Natural Leader, you have a natural Mystery being yourself and as I have expected are no more a Potter than I am…while you have the blood and natural traits…you lack the guidance…What type of Patron would I be if I let my Brother House fall?" She looked directly at Sirius "Train him just how his Father would have, even his Grandfather, Welcome to the Black Family. Harrison James Potter-Black." With that the Raven flew directly at Harry.
However another figure jumped from Harry's core, it was a skeleton like horse with leather skin and wings, it's eyes were a sickly white color "You, dare…Black….try to take that which is not yours. While I accept Harrison's new found Blood, I shall not accept his placement in the House of RAVEN." It shouted in a hundred different voices, ranging from male to female. The Horse took a step towards the Raven which then flew back startled "Sirius Orion Black shall be his 'Father' by right of new blood, magic and oath. However Harrison shall never join with the House of Raven. So Mote Be It. He is a Potter, protected by the Thestral House do not test me again, or I shall be more forceful. Black." The Horse glowed a sickly silver color, a red blazing fire bird could be seen as it disappeared. The Raven vanished without a word.
Harry took a deep breath, shaking and in slight amount of pain "Wh-what the hell was that?" He asked simply looking up at Sirius who looked a little cross.
"We'll cover that after a while, for now Andie I believe you had some training with him?" Sirius muttered, running his thumb over the shallow cut on his palm that had stopped bleeding.
"Er…well…I believe that was enough for one day…." She said softly feeling drained "How about this Harry…we'll pick up next week sometime, I'm sure you know how to leave the castle?" At this Harry gave her a cheeky smile "Like your father" She mumbled "Here, Read this." She passed him a book titled 'Water: Flows Freely or Pushes through.' "I expect this to be read by next week, it is not that long. No complaining." She said grabbing her purse and heading for the door.
Sirius gave a barking laugh "See if you were an Air type, we could have trained together but alas you're stuck with her." He said patting Harry's hair with a grin.
"Heard that!" Andromeda called out.
Harry swatted away his hand "Stop it." He mumbled flipping through the book.
'When it comes to controlling Water one must remember that Water is free and always drawn down the easiest path. However should that easier path be full of obstacles then the Water will warp, wrap or cut through them. Water is a force much like that of Fire, while Fire Destroys planting the seeds of rebirth, Water is what feeds the seeds and creates life. Much like a Monk peaceful yet deadly.' Harry read, he frowned a little, so this was going to control water? What about Lightning? Shouldn't the lightning shaped scar on his brow mean anything? Shrugging he turned to Sirius "I'm going back up to the castle." He said giving him a small hug "See you next week?"
Sirius nodded "Of course, I'm going to have a few holes to fill and birds to kill. If you hear about me in the news don't worry too much." He said pulling a cloak over his shoulders and his hood up. "By the way, being the Tri crap is here this year. You'll need to learn how to dance."
Harry's head nearly snapped off at the speed he looked at Sirius "Why?!" He asked with wide eyes, not wanting to be the middle of attention again.
"Yull Ball." He said with a shrug "They have it during the Tri. It will be Christmas Eve." He explained "Andromeda knows how to dance, in fact it should help with your training. The Water element is a lot like dancing." He mused, with a shrug. He kicked a small trunk to Harry. "I got your measurements, you'll find some new robes, cloak and Potter family dress robes. Most are in Black, Forest and Ruby. Your favorite colors."
Harry smiled and gave Sirius another great big hug "Oh, before I forget." He said getting on eye level with Harry "You have to remember this, understand?" Harry nodded with a confused look "I have a House-Elf, being you're my son. You can summon him, he's a nasty vile piece of work but he'll listen to you. Kreacher"
With a 'pop' the Elf appeared, he looked a little better. His towel was clean as was his swallow skin and white hair. His eyes were still blood shot and he looked sickly thin "Master summons Kreacher?" He croaked.
"I did, Kreacher this my son Harry. You will listen to him, understood?"
Kreacher bowed deeply mouthing something "Of course Master Black." He said with a foul look.
"Be gone." With that Kreacher vanished. Sirius pulled a book from his robes "I know you're busy with the Tournament and all, classes and now Andies training but you should use your gift." He pressed the small black book into Harry's hands "It's on Parseltongue, I know you can speak it, use it." With that Sirius winked once more and vanished with a loud 'crack'
Harry looked at the book, it was small with a green snake emblem on it. He cracked it open and at first it was a mess of figures and swirls, then it started to link to English 'So, you can speak can you? Impressive, I'm not going to tell you my name nor will I share with you when this book was written, let us just settle that I am an expert with the subtle art of Snake charming and the Speech of the serpent. Remember that snakes are intelligent, proud and cunning, to ask anything of a snake you must be willing to do it yourself, to kill, to hunt or to spy. Magically summoned snakes will listen to you without out fail but lack the power of a true serpent; I would recommend gathering a serpent of your own speaker. Keep it on your person and make it your best of friends.' The first page wrote in silk like letters, it almost seemed familiar somehow but he just shrugged.
Sirius was right, if he was going to survive or win this Tournament; he would need all of his power. Serpent, Elements and Magic, no more hiding this was the time to strike just like a Snake, waiting for the right moment and this was his.

"Cedric!" Fleur said loudly, her pale blue bag trailing behind her as she ran up to the Hufflepuff Seeker, Champion.
"Fleur?" He said scratching the back of his neck "What's up?" He asked, his eyes glazed a little but regained focus.
"I need some elp." She said simply.
"Oh? With what?"
"Well…I know of some…Abuse….in one's 'ome life….'ow would one go about this in your government?" She asked with a gently raised brow, and crossing her arms.
"Talking about Harry?" He asked simply leaning on the wall.
"What makes you think that?" She asked her eyes widened a fraction.
"Weasley, he isn't as quiet as some would think. He told most how Harry was raised by Muggles, a lot of Muggles don't care for Wizards." He said simply.
"Fine, Fine. Ow do I go about getting them away from 'im?" She asked with a glare.
"That would be tough, I'll ask Susan Bones what her Aunt is doing. I'll see what I can do." He said simply, glancing at his watch "Sorry, I've got to get going. Charms" He said simply walking off, slowly shaking his head a little.
Fleur sighed, maybe she would be able to help Harry more than she thought. Bones? Like Amelia Bones the Head of their DMLE? She shrugged a little and went out to the carriage, wondering how Harry's training was going.
XX~XX~XX~XX
"Dragons!" Harry said to Hagrid as Madam Maxine walked off. Hagrid nodded simply. "Bloody hell they are insane, how are going to kill those things!?"
Hagrid shook his head "Ya won't be killin them 'Arry, you ave to get something from them." He explained, pointing to each Dragon. "Chinese Fireball, Swedish Shortsnout, Welsh Green and then…" He pointed to a jet of fire "Hungarian Horntail….bloody piece of work that one, I tell yea…"
"Agrid?" Madam Maxine asked walking over.
"Thanks Hagrid, means a lot." Harry said with a bright smile.
"Don mention it Arry, you weren't to be in this tournament anyhow." He said pointing to the cloak, which Harry then dawned and vanished.
As he walked back to the castle he started to think, Fleur would know being that Madam Maxine was there. He glanced to the sky, a ghostly figure gliding on a broom was streaking away from the fire's. Cedric….he looked around and saw a figure running towards the ship by the lake. Krum, they all knew.
Dragons, beings of Fire…Fire….He remembered a spell on Fire, he wondered if it would work on magical flames. History of Magic did have some boosts.
XX~XX~XX~XX
"So, are you ready?" Harry asked looking over at Fleur who looked a little pale. Harry only had about a week and a half to study his spells, he was confident in his abilities and was sure of his new found strengths.
Fleur nodded softly "Oui, Oui…are you?" She asked looking up at him, why was he so carefree.
Harry grinned "Yeah, I think I've got this." He said brightly. He glanced around, Cedric was doing some muttering as he paced and Viktor was in a meditation state, calming himself.
The Group had met once to clear what they knew, while they didn't come out and say it to the others it was clear they were dealing with fire.
Moody had pulled Harry aside after class a few days ago and started to ask questions, talking about how to trust no one. That his greatest strength was on a broom and he was allowed a wand. While Harry didn't really listen as he had a plan already it was always good to have a back up. He wasn't sure what to make of the Grizzled man, it was clear he wanted to help Harry and he proved that by turning Malfoy into a Ferret much to Hermione and Fleur's amusement.
Ludo Bagman walked in through the tent flaps "Come around, Come around." He said to the Champions, he pulled out a purple bag that was sparking and smoking "I want each of you to pull on figure out of this bag, ladies first." He said holding the bag out to Fleur, who then pulled the Chinese Fireball, Cedric the Welsh Green, Krum the Swedish Shortsnout and then Harry "The Horntail" He muttered under his breath, he was hoping to not get this Dragon but it was better him than Fleur.
"Right, now that you all know what you are up against. You have ten minutes to prepare before we begin, starting with Madam Delacour." Ludo said taking the figures back and then walking from the tent with a wink at Harry.
Fleur ran a hand through her hair a little, pulling it into a bun to keep it from being burned off or getting snagged on something. Her gear was much like that of the others, but in blue and white, the gear had their names, the number they were called and padding on their knees and elbows.
"Fleur" Harry said holding out something for her, it was a small package. "Ced, Viktor." He tossed them each one as well.
Fleur opened it first, it was a pair of Goggles, hers was powder blue with white flames on the sides. Viktor's had his school symbol on the sides in a blood red color, Cedric's were Hufflepuff themed and Harry pulled out his own, they were Green, Red and Black with serpents on the sides.
"Harry…you're a Gryffindor" Cedric said pointing at the snakes "Why that symbol?"
"Because, I can't speak to Griffins or Lions." He said simply "But I can speak to snakes, remember."
"Oh I remember." Cedric said with distaste. Recalling the events two years ago.
Harry just grinned "They should protect your eyes. I'd recommend them." He said tapping his glasses and then the goggles, matching the glass. He pulled off the glasses and then strapped on the goggles.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. I am pleased to present the Tri-Wizard Tournament! This is the first task of four that we shall be offering this year. You heard right people! Four! Being that we've had to add another player to this ancient tournament, we felt it was only fair to add another event! So shall we invite our first Champion to face her Dragon! Oh yes, we said Dragon! Each Champion is to gather a Golden Egg much like this one! While avoiding a very upset Mother Dragon so will Madam Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons!" The Voice of Ludo Bagman yelled out, the crowds began to roar and scream.
Fleur stood slowly, shaking a bit. Harry closed his eyes and stood up with her and pulled her into a small hug. She knew Harry never initiated contact with many people, let alone hugging "Be safe." He whispered softly, stepping back and sitting back down.
Fleur grinned a little, feeling her cheeks warm up a little "You worry too much." She said simply, taking a page from his book "I'll be fine."
Cedric and Viktor bowed their heads a little and she headed out, the pit was all a black colored stone. She could see her dragon in front of her and she quickly hid behind a stone to avoid the flames. She glanced around and could see everyone watching her, the stands were within range of the flames of the beast they must have some enchantment.
Fleur took in a slow breath and then relaxed herself, she focused her magic to her throat and pressed her wand to her lips, she started to sing softly "Écouter tous ceux qui peuvent entendre ma voix, sentez-vous dériver dans un pays de votre choix. Pour vos yeux commencent à s'affaisser, vos épaules sont lourdes et vos pensées se troublent. Concentre sur ma voix, sentir combien apaisante et heureuse je suis, concentre sur ma voix pour elle vous garder au chaud comme une couverture sur une nuit froide. Tomber dans un monde de votre choix. Tomber dans vos rêves." It was in French and of her own design, using a fair bit of her allure and natural peacefulness she was confident that the beast would lull off. She was correct, the beast started to relax half way through and then it was snoring, breathing a small flame out of its mouth with each exhale. Glancing around she noticed a large number of students and visitors were also asleep.
Without wasting her time she sprinted across the field jumping over stones and using her wand to summon a large rock from nearby to block the Dragon's fire. Quickly she grabbed the egg and took off for the exit. Once there she waved her wand "finite incantatem" She said clearly, in a crisp voice. Turning around and walking to the healer.
The healer was an older woman who worked at Hogwarts, Madam Pomfrey was her name if she was correct. The Matron looked her over silently "You seem alright, few spots of dirt, ash and sweat but nothing a good shower can't fix." She said waving her off.
Fleur returned to the arena to get her points for the task, Dumbledore gave her an 8, Maxine a 10, Karkaroff a 4, Bagman gave her an 8 and Crouch a 9. While she knew if she performed more magic she would have gotten more points. 39 out of 50.
XX~XX~XX~XX
Cedric went about facing the Dragon through deception; he crafted three stone wolves to face off against his beast. He only got a few burns on his arms and face from the fires but overall he was okay. 32 out of 50. Viktor, he didn't do too well, cursing the eye of his dragon causing it go on a rampage and it crushed half of its eggs they docked him for it. But he was able to get his Egg anyway still coming out on top only because of his Headmaster 40 out of 50.
Next was Harry, she was able to sit in the stands next Mindy and Hermione. A fair amount of people were waiting for Harry to get himself killed in this one, she just hoped he wasn't to rash.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce our Fourth Champion. Harry James Potter." Ludo called out and then the Raven haired teen walked out onto the field, he didn't stop nor did he acknowledge anyone. Simply waved his wand over his head while muttering something, causing a small glow.
Hermione bit her lip "I've seen that look." She muttered "He had it last year…when he faced the dementors…" She whispered, looking over at Fleur.
Harry stopped in the middle of the field and the Dragon roared making an appearance, yet Harry didn't rush for cover or raise his wand yet he did shout something though "Over. Grown. Gecko!" His voice was enough to inspire the Dragon to breathe a large jet of fire at him.
Fleur, Mindy and Hermione screamed, so did a large number of the crowd. A few people could be heard cheering. The fire completely covered the Raven and Dumbledore could be seen starting to shout at the nearby Dragon Handlers, a large scruffy black dog started to bark loudly, attempting to jump into the ring only being stopped by a woman with Raven black hair.
If they had been paying attention they would notice that Harry wasn't screaming, he was laughing. Fleur's head perked up at the sounds, she could see through the flames, it was a figure who didn't move much just let out a cackle of sorts.
When the flames stopped Harry was standing proudly without so much of a burn or scratch on him, he brushed off a little ash on his robes though "That all?" Could be heard as the crowd grew deathly silent, even the Dragon was surprised looking at him with amazement. "My turn." He raised his wand, with a few flicks and a swirl "Magna Aquae Fluctu."
A large crystal clear wave of water sprouted from his wand, slamming into the Dragon as it roared in pain. The heat from the stones and the Dragon's skin caused steam to erupt clouding the area. The only thing that could be heard was footsteps and then a loud "Accio Firebolt!" The Dragon was thrashing around through the mist and fog, trying to kill Harry.
The Broom showed up like a shot, diving into the steam as it started to lessen. Fleur could see the Firebolt then leave with its rider, a glint of gold under his arm "Glacius!" Harry roared, pointing his wand at the Dragon as he flew pass. Ice started to form on the ground and Dragon's skin, the beasts movements slowed and then it breathed on the ground trying to warm itself.
Harry looked calm he flew to the exit. Fleur stood still, they quickly managed to get the Dragon under control. Harry was brought back out after getting the all clear symbol from the healer. Dumbledore gave him a 10, Maxine a 9, Karkaroff gave him a 4 which was quickly changed to a 7 at the boo's. Bagman a 10 and Crouch an 8. 44 out of 50 it put Harry in first place.
The second he had been graded Fleur ran out of the stands followed by Hermione and Mindy, a few other people left with them. Harry was by the post with a pale look on his face and he was shaking. Fleur wrapped him in tight hug which he gave back half-heartedly, the large dog from earlier pounced on him when she let him go.
Hermione slugged him on the shoulder "IDIOT!" She screamed "While I am impressed you managed to pull that freezing fire charm, that spell hadn't been used in years! How did you know that it would work!?"
Harry blushed petting Padfoot gently on the head "Er well…by practicing…at the Shrieking Shack…" He said mumbling.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked with a glare.
"I started a fire…then used the charm…then walked into the fire…." He rolled up his pants leg to show some healed burns "Messed up the first few times."
Hermione rolled her eyes, pinching her lips in thought.
"Accio?" Fleur asked with a raised brow.
"Asked Flitwick if I could skip class to practice it in an unused class room." Harry said with a shrug. "It is a fifth year charm, being excused from exams has its advantages."
"I thought you were skipping for something like that." Hermione mumbled.
"What about the frozen spell?" Mindy asked voicing her opinion.
"Practiced by the lake, when I could freeze a good part of it, I was sure of it." Harry said cracking a grin "What works better than water and ice?"
Andromeda stepped up "He learned the Water Wave from myself, while he shouldn't have used it yet." She said noting his pale demeanor and the drops of blood coming from his nose "You're too weak to be using that level of Element, shouldn't have even showed you it."
Harry gave her a cheeky grin "Sorry, Aunt Andie couldn't help it." Padfoot hit Harry in the face with his tail and gave him a sharp look "Oh, lay off me Snuffles, I was sure it would work." Andromeda started to dab at his nose, lightly with a rag.
Fleur rose a brow "Aunt?" She asked.
Hermione's head snapped up "You're not Harry's Aunt" She said simply.
Andromeda laughed a little "Oh I am so sorry, I thought he told you." She said looking over at Snuffles who bowed his head "Harry was adopted into the Black family a few weeks ago." She said with a smile.
Fleur and Mindy rose a brow and made a face, while Hermione squealed with joy and tackled Harry into a hug. To which Harry groaned.
"So why is e bleeding like that?" Mindy asked gently, crouching down next to 'Snuffles' who was eyeing her with suspicion.
Andromeda looked up from her book "Oh, well that's because he's pushing his magic far too hard, using the element water like he did puts a lot of stress on the body. While overexerting his magic causes draw backs on the organs, you're looking at one. I'd say the nose bleed and paleness is from internal damage, it will fix itself though with time." She said with a small shrug "As his body gets used to it, he'll be able to much more and have far better control."
Fleur nodded a little, it was basically the same thing with Fire Elementals. Should the fire be too great they would receive burns and blisters along their arms and faces. So the Water Elemental would take damage inside being humans are made of water.
Harry scratched his nose a little "You worry too much." He said with a smile.
"No, if I worried much more. I wouldn't train you anymore." Andie counted, with a glare. Snuffle gave off a barking that sounded like laughing.
"Touché"
