[Sorry for the wait as well as for the shortness of this chapter. I've been under the weather and then it got to busy for me to return to writing. Also to those who read my other story "New Life" I've been in a bit of a slump with what to write next for that one, sorry. I honestly don't know if I spelled two things correct in this so please let me know if I did or not so I can correct it.]

Jim and Sebastian watched as the dog transformed into the man known as Sirius Black. His was hair long and messy from years without care. He was clearly underfed and his prison uniform looked close to falling down his shoulders.

Jim wondered how one could transform while keeping their clothes on.

Sebastian looked at Sirius with watery eyes, his face slightly wet from the tears that slipped out a moment before. Sirius looked back with eyes just as watery, he moved a shaking hand out to him.

"You know...you know who I am to you?"

Sirius remembered him...he remembered his son, not Harry Potter. Sebastian couldn't keep himself from running at the man. He shoved his face into his dad's stomach and hugged him tightly. His shoulders shook as he sobbed into Sirius' dirty uniform. His dad held onto him tightly, slipping down onto his knees while moving Sebastian's face to his shoulder. The two of them sobbed and Sebastian could hear his dad whispering into his hair as he kissed his head.

"Sorry...so sorry, Sebastian...Sebby...Wont let him take you again."

Jim stood and watched the scene play out, tapping his chin with his finger, as his mind was pondering this new change. The first time arround Sebastian told him Sirius never knew he had a son, or if he knew then he did not remember. He also never broke out until third year when the rat would appear in the paper or something.

What could have changed?

Jim didn't think anything they did could have caused this result. The only thing that changed was...

Jim's eyes widened when a thought struck him.

Could breaking the spells on Sebastian have done it? Magic was rather new to him but it would make sense for families to be connected through their magic itself. If that were the case then breaking such powerfull spells on one could have a ripple effect among the whole family, essentially breaking any spells on the others. If a large amount of the magic was released when the spell was first broken that it...

Didn't Sebastian have more family besides his father though?

Jim grinned his murderous smile and let loose a giggle at the chaos that might have been unleashed.

Father and son looked at the giggling boy. The adult with confused worry and the younger with a fond smile.

"Why does your friend look as though he's planned the perfect crime?" Sirius whispered to his son.

Sebastian smiled at his dad and shrugged.

"He gets like that when he's figured something out. He's a mad genius."

Sirius gave a calm nod of understanding before giving his son a mischievous smile.

"A mad genius who has a weakness for dogs, you chose well. I approve."

Sebastian sputtered, turning bright red as his dad burst into laughter.

They didn't notice at first, the changes were subtle but got progressively more obvious as time passed. The first to notice the change was the Tonks family. Both mother and daughter found that their memories had become fuzzy. The younger Tonks found that her abilities became easier to control the more she tried to remember the fuzzy memories. When it came to the time their daughter was to return to Hogwarts they both realized what was going on.

They became filled with rage.

Someone had mucked about inside their heads and made them forget people, very important people.

They were not the only one's to experience this.

Narcissa realized what was going on inside her head and demanded her husband go to be cleansed just in case. Draco didn't have any new memories like his mother did. However he and his parents found that he was calmer now. He appeared to be more dignified and did not act like the brat he had been.

When Lucius returned from being cleansed he was also much more calm and collected. He stopped acting like a complete arse, though his posh taste remained the same.

Both the Tonks and Malfoy families now knew the truth. The last of the Black's were not about to let this slide under the rug to be forgotten about. Narcissa sent a letter to her sister about the occurance while her husband began to plot.

After all if that man had manipulated their families who's to say he didn't do the same to others?

Albus Dumbledore remained unaware of the chaos that was brewing at his doorstep. He was much to busy searching for his lost weapon. He'd rather not have to resort to the Longbottom boy, not when that blasted uncle of his caused the boy's magic to hide within itself. They were all lucky he hadn't become an obscurous! He had to find the boy, too many of his plans were cemented specifically for him.
