I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER OR SHERLOCK
Chapter 7
(Unedited)
Laying on the couch in Remus's cottage Thunder was bored. There had been a few small cases but nothing any fun. Thunder always had the choice to go talk to Sherlock he would be with Mycroft for a few more days before he went back on his way there was only so much you can talk to a muggle who barely understands magic though. Rolling over Thunder reached down and grabbed a small bad that he had nearby, reaching inside and digging around for a while he found his old sketchbooks.
'Well, it's been a while.' he thought. Opening his very first book, one he had stole from Dudley when he didn't want it he began to flip through it… The very first picture in it wasn't the best but Harry remembered that day well…
Six year old Harry was a quiet kid as he was taught not to talk unless asked. For once Harry decided to break that rule hoping that his aunt and uncle would be happy with him after all it was his first report card and he got straight A's
At dinner after helping his aunt serve his uncle and cousin he said in a slightly hopeful voice, Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon I have something for you…"
Reaching into his pocket Harry pulled out a paper that showed his grades handing it to his uncle he suddenly felt shy and walked away slightly. Looking over the grades Vernon saw that they were all A's. Looking at Dudley Vernon asked where is grades were.
"Upstairs, " Dudley said, you couldn't understand it really but his general wave in the direction of the stairs gave it away.
"Boy, get Dudlers grades!" Vernon barked.
Walking up stairs and going it to the pigs room Harry saw the grades on the table and grimaced they were awful and one of them even had a note under it saying that Vernon and the teacher had to talk.
Walking downstairs with the paper, Harry handed it the Vernon and waited for him to get mad at Dudley for having such bad grades, however the last thing he expected happened.
"Boy!" Vernon Yelled. "There is no way you could have gotten grades this good if Dudley couldn't you cheater!"
My back still had scars from that day, moving around slightly remembering the pain I flipped through a few more pages finding a picture of a snake, I saved it from Dudley and took it to the park and sent it to the forest. Flipping though more I saw many pictures of simple things such as a sunset and slowly he could see the pictures got more detailed and clearer. Around thirty pages into the book I could see I picture that I made after having the same dream a few nights in a row. At the time I had no idea why it was happening but I do now. Looking down at the picture I could see quite clearly the image of a man on a motorcycle holding a baby surrounded by cloud, Hagrid riding Sirius's old bike.
Looking even farther I saw some more simple pictures that were pretty meaningless as they were drawn when I was locked in the cupboard, a few dogs, a cat, the park, etc. The great thing about these drawings though is that on the back if I knew the date I would write it so I could tell that when I was seven I got a dream of slight pain over my body and a strange creature that I now know to be a goblin standing over me. The summer after fourth year the Dursleys had left for a vacation all summer much like they had now, in a letter I sent to Sirius I mentioned it next thing I knew I was off to some unknown island that belonged to the blacks having a nice beach vacation. I was that summered when he explained a lot of information that was very valuable to me and Remus. To this day it's the most well kept secret either of us have…
Harry watched as a mostly asleep Sirius walked in he never really was a morning person, well, neither was Moony really but at least he gets up before 11:30.
"Morning," Harry and Remus greeted Sirius as usual not getting any reply back as Sirius inched his way over to the couch and fell down on it pulling a brown blanket over him as he did so. Rolling his eyes Harry walked over to the nearby kitchen intentionally knocking over a large book that was sitting on the dining room table that was never used as he pasted it. It fell to the ground with a loud bang followed by a thump coming from the couch that Sirius had almost fell asleep on. Glaring at Harry, Sirius climbed back on to the couch covering his head with the blanket so only his eyes showed still glaring at the cause of the loud noise.
Harry walking back over from the kitchen with a cup of coffee stood in front of Sirius and held it there. A hand reached out and snatched the cup. Pulling it under the blanket the couch potato shifted just enough to drink the coffee. 5 minutes later we have a hyper Padfoot running around the room and jumping on and over the couch before eventually freezing in place on the couch and turn into an out of breath Sirius.
"I still don't know how he can do that every morning." Remus mentioned looking at Sirius from where he was curled up in the corner with a book.
Glaring at Remus Sirius mentioned, "I don't see you taking the chance to sleep in Moony, maybe if you tried it every once and a while you would know what it's like."
However Sirius features shifted into a more serious expression. "I do however need to talk to you guys though. There something that needs to be said before I forget, again."
Glancing at one another Harry and Remus both shrugged and got up from where the were and sat down on a couch across from Sirius. "Okay were listening," Remus said confused.
"Remus you might not remember this but I mentioned to James a few months before we left Hogwarts seventh year that my parents were going to set up and arranged marriage if I couldn't find someone to settle down with by the time we left Hogwarts because we needed a Black heir from the main line. I complained about the fact that I didn't want to settle down and have to deal with kids straight outta Hogwarts if at all. James mentioned that he might have a solution to the problem and the next day he came to me with an idea, that idea was me blood adopting his and Lily's first born son to take as my heir." Remus's eyes widened figured out what Sirius was going to say next. Harry grew suspicious as well having looked into what blood magic was before.
"I, at first didn't agree with the idea as I didn't want to intrude and take one of their kid but eventually agreed. So James, Lily and I made our way to Gringotts and spoke with them to see if it was possible. Sure enough it was so long as everyone was willing. Next thing we know we're out of Hogwarts, keeping our plan a secret. Remus straight out of Hogwarts you were sent on a mission to speak with the werewolves and that lasted 4 months. We wanted to tell you but decided to make it a surprise. July 31st Harry James Potter was born. August 28th, Harry Potter was only a memory and in his place was Thundan James Black." Shocked all Harry, well Thundan, could do was stare at the wall trying to process this information. Remus wasn't much better off.
"With the war going on and me being put on several different missions at a time we decided that it would be best if Thundan, nickname being Thunder stayed with Lily and James. So he did and we never told anyone about the adoption, the goblins who performed it swore to never tell anyone. So now there is only one person alive who knows of my son, me. But now you two. Before you ask Thunder, yes, you are my son, and I have never regretted the any day more then the day I decided to give you to Hagrid and case after that stupid rat."
Sirius couldn't meet look at Thunder or Remus his eyes were just glued to the floor. Thunder was just sitting back still in shock and trying to control the urge to swear at the fact that he lived with the Dursleys for so many years believing that they were his aunt and uncle. Remus however was sitting there thoughtfully and mentioned, "Sirius, blood adoption changes appearance to but Har-Thunder still looks like James."
Eyes snapping up Sirius now remembered something he forgot about till now.
"In our family there are a few Metamorphmagi and we found out shortly afterward that Thunder was one so we locked the ability in a form that looked like James. The thing with the spell is that as soon as the person is aware of it, it should have disappeared and the person should shift back to the default form unless they were holding that appearance consciously." Both Remus and Sirius looked at Thunder confused.
Sighing Thunder said halfheartedly, "Guess it's my turn for story time." Thunder explained that when he was young he magic most have overpowered the spell because at midnight on his 10th birthday his appearance changed into something else. Revealing long black hair and gray eyes. He was also much taller since his actual body hadn't been damaged in any way and looked like he would have if he had normal parents. Thunder figured out that if he pictured his old body it would go back but shifting would tire him out. Slowly though he had worked every night and was able to eventually be able to shift effortlessly.
Changing into his actual form Thunder revealed his black hair and the fact that he was almost as tall as an average 15 year old. "I do however change this form slightly whenever I do use it." Thunder said Changing his form to have blue hair and bright green eyes, as well as making himself just above the average height for his age at 5'6.
Flipping back through the book Thunder could see many times were he drew about chores. After even more flipping, seeing a few on different dreams a redraw or the motorcycle Thunder could see a lot of improvement in his drawings. Instead off just a motorcycle with a man riding with a blurred background there were actual buildings and some birds. Instead of just a tree there was a tree and a birds nest with squirrels nearby.
After passing a page that showed the punishment he got for getting so much attention in school by being good at learning new languages. He could see a wolf that he drew in the forest after he ran there after a game of Harry Hunting. For some reason that he didn't know of at the time animals weren't afraid of him. He went back to the forest again and again after that slowly going deeper and deeper. Every once and a while he would go to far but it seemed the animals new that in someway and led him back to an area he knew before going on there way.
Before third year when Harry went to the Gringotts there was a snake that got in the building and Harry was trying not to laugh as it hid in the corner and insulted the people that went crazy when they saw Harry in there. Harry walked up to the teller that was closest to the snake to talk to them but out of the corner of his mouth complemented the snakes creativity with its language. The goblin however heard and asked about it, so Harry went and explained what happened in his second year, when he dueled Malfoy and after casting a spell at Harry he spoke to it without realizing what he was doing.
The goblin amused by the story, or at least Harry though he was amused, goblins don't show that very well, mentioned there was a test you could take to reveal any hidden abilities. After asking if the results would be public, which was no, and what he had to do in the test Harry finally agreed to do it. Going back into a room The goblin performing the task told Harry to let 5 drops of blood land on the parchment in front of him. To Harry's surprise there was quite a few abilities and skills. For one he was a naturals friend, any and all animals will like him, helped him out a lot with the Cerberus in first year. He was a shapeshifter, so he now had a name for the ability to turn into animals. Well and parseltongue which he already knew about.
Sorry about this taking a while.
I do have an editor now Catz4444 so she is making her way though the chapters.
At the top of a chapter it will now say (edited/unedited) depending on if it has been edited or not.
I don't want to just not post until she catches up so there will still be a lot of mistakes till she gets to it.
Feel free to go back and reread the first few chapters.
Hope you enjoyed.
