Last time
"Now that's out of the way, what i really called you here for is because of Walburga. She has suffered major mental collapse and she thinks i'm Charlus and she is still betrthed to Orion. As your Head of house, i ask for you help. As a family member, i need your help. I think it would be better if you guys looked at her yourself." Harry said leading them to Walburga.
"Mom, i'm almost done, Orion will be here in a few minutes."
"Oh My Word."
Everybody was shocked. They had all thought that Walburga would've been fine and that she was just a slight bit depressed, but instead, what they saw, was a total different thing, completely. Walburga was once beautiful, and charming, and now she was, well, crazy. Demented. In other words, screwed. Lucretia and Druella looked as if they were a bout to cry. Pollux and Polaris, well, they looked indifferent and Cassiopeia, just stared. The Malfoys had also just looked on.
"Mother, it's four and Orion still isn't here. Where could he be?" asked a frantic Walburga. Everybody backed out of the kitchen of Grimmauld place, and went into the boardroom on the second floor. The boardroom had a long mahogony table with chairs, covered in green and silver, With the Black crest on the wall. Harry took his place as Lord Black, with Polaris on his right, as regent Lord Black, and his wif next to him, as Regent Lady Black. Everybody looked concerned for Walburga, yet they sat in complete silence. Nobdy could bother to move or say anything, until Harry.
"So, what should we do? I am at a major loss at what to do with Walburga. We could takeher to St Mungo's, but then she is at risk of having Dumbles mess with her head even further. We could take her to Number Sixteen Chesterfield Drive but i'm not sure how that would work out." Harry said.
They looked at Harry and they all came to a decision.
"Harry, we need to take Walburga to St Mungo's, where she can get proper care. But we will also need to pay the highest to get her the best quality care as well as utmost confidentiality, or i will have to make use of my and Phineas' little Black book. I have dirt on every single wizard that lives in Europe. You just need to know how to use it. I would like Polaris to come with us when we admit her, as acting regent Black, he would be Lord Regent Black, until you say otherwise. Also, we need someone to keep her company, while someone goes to St Mungo's to get her room ready. Hadrian, we need you to be able to keep her busy, as we get the healer." said Cassiopeia,
"Okay, but do you think she will ever be the same? Also, after this I would like permission to move into number one Privet Drive, as a Property of Malfoy, i need permssion from Lord Malfoy, and only Lucius can provide that for me. It would be perfect for me to use memory enhancing potions to fool the mugles into thinkin that i lived with them all along, and i could fool the old goat's wards, becaus ethe boundry ends only where Chesterton Lane starts, so i would be safe." said Harry.
After getting permission, Harry went to Walburga, and kept her busy. He was actually having a conversation with her, funnily enoughm they were talking about Hogwarts. And Walburga was telling Harry a story about her time at Hogwarts. (Assuming that she was in her Youbg adult self's point of view, seen as Orion died young, followed by Regulus, She felt safest i her young adult stage of life)
"... so then w snuck out and went to the Gryffindor common room and we transfigured everything to hiss and look like snakes, as well as we put a charm on the portrait of the fat lady, a creation of Tom, that made all Gryffindors, who walked out of the door, aggresive, as to lose points. And poor Arthur Weasley, the idiot he was, ended up hitting poor old Professor Merrythought, He lost over eight hundred points for that single transgression. Oh, the old days. So Charlus, how are you and Dorea coming along?" she asked with a soft smile.
How do you answer that? I could like, but then i would dig a hole for myself, so i could also wait and change the subject. But, alas, i was pulled out of my thoughts when Polaris returned with a healer. Harry left the room with Polaris, and they went to his study.
"Hadrian, you are under the impression that i am an Alpha werewolf, where Pollux is a Alpha Royal Vampire. You do know that we are looked down upon, right." Polaris nervously asked.
"Of course Polaris, I believe in unity. And you and Pollux are strong people, it's good to be able to say, 'I personally know a The Alpha werewolf and the Alpha Royal Vampire of house Draconis. I am well aware that you are both consired royalty in Bulgaria, France and Transylvania. So Lord regent Black, i shall be leaving all of the political stuff to you. I will appoint you as my proxy for house Black indefinately. Also, seen as you're Lord Regent Proxy Black, You will become Lord Regent Lestrange. Use your newfound politcal power wisely. Now, onto other things, seeing as i don't have a magical guardian, i am automatically emancipated, which means that i am going to live on my own. Well, i won't be alone, but you get what i mean. I would still have to make appearances at the muggle's house, but apart from that, I'm free. And i am going to finally be a child for a few years. I have decided that I would like to have a few books from the Black library as well as the Slytherin Library, but those i could ask Kreature to get. If that is all, i would like to leave to go to number one privet drive. But before that, I would like to get ingredients from Diagon Alley, as well as pick up my trunk and new wardrobe."
Polaris called Kreature and had him fetch Harry's things with ten of every set of ingredients that they had in Knockturn Alley, with a Golden cauldron and crystal phials. Harry put on one of his new sets of black dress robes, with the white silk dress shirt, and a black over robe. And Harry packed the rest into his trunk.
Harry was now going through the master book at the Black library and picking out books on magical detection, aura reading, master deception as well as mastering the minds arts (Legillimens, Occlumency as well as empathy), Harry was browsing until he came across a very peculiar, hand written book. Parselmagic for the novice Shadowmage, Light mage and Storm elementist. So Harry took it. and left the Library.
Harry met up with all of his guests and had supper, and as he was about to depart, Abraxas looked at him and said;
"You know, Hadrian. If you want, we could go with you, or you could come with us. You really need to have a normal childhood. And Lucius is willing to let you stay at the Manor anytime you want. Just think about it."
And he handed Harry a necklace with a snake coiled around a sword pendant on it. Harry could feel family magic on the pendant. It was a anytime portkey to any Malfoy property he needed access to.
"Keep in touch Hadrian. Oh, and Draco would like to see his cousin soon. Please keep in touch." Said Lucius.
Harry turned around after saying goodbye to everybody, he was about to activate the portkey, when Cassiopeia grabbed onto him and said;
"I'm coming with you."
Harry activated the portkey, and him and Cassiopeia disappeared.
Just a filler. Next Chapter; Hogwarts letter... And Sorting..
