Chapter Twenty-One: Lord Black
Lucius, Narcissa, Bellatrix, Draco and Tom were watching as the four started up the pathway to the Manor. They had ben waiting for the entire week for them to return, yet every jaw dropped when Fenrir kept Sirius close to his side. However, the conversation they were overhearing from the four shocked them even more.
"Think Dumbledore found him yet?" Sirius asked Damon glancing at the teenager who he could now look at as a son and actually have some sort of claim on him now.
"Nope," Damon said doing a cartwheel just because he could, "Think he's moved them out yet?"
"Nope," Sirius laughed some, "Think Bella will mind helping me evict them?"
"Can you show her the way inside?" Bill asked grabbing Damon's feet as the teen walked in the wheel barrel fashion, "I mean Fen can get in simply by having an extreme panic attack and following his nose to us and Damon…well he's a devil isn't he."
"Oh yeah forgot that part," Sirius said stopping his steps before frowning and scratching the top of his head, "I can't believe I'm about to do this," and his chin dropped.
"Do what?" Bill and Damon asked while Fenrir paused waiting for his mate to catch up.
"I'm going to consult my Mother," Sirius said before Damon fell over and Bill whipped around in shock, "Hopefully she stops screaming profanities at me long enough for me to ask."
"I wanna go!" Damon said bouncing up onto his feet, "This should be funny!"
"Thanks for your vote of confidence," Sirius said scowling at the teen.
By now the group was only about ten feet from the others so when Sirius went to swat Damon for being a brat the teen scampered and hid behind Tom. Narcissa smiled as she realized Damon was back to being his overly playful self, and that the near death experience had not made him into a completely different person.
"Sirius you go consult your mother," Fenrir said taking charge of his family, "Bill go with him and keep him from getting cursed since he tends to do the stupid thing," then he focused his eyes on his son who was peeking around Tom's legs, "Damon you come here I need to fill you in on what me and Sirius talked about last night."
"Is it mushy junk?" Damon asked before getting a blank look, "Dad?" still no change, "Alright," and he walked over head hanging, "If this scars me for life you're paying for my therapy."
Sirius and Bill took off while Fenrir took Damon's hand to lead his son back to the small group waiting for them he handed Narcissa the wrapped painting, "You don't get to keep it but I think you'll like it," he informed her before nodding to the others and leading Damon into a private area to sit and talk to his son.
Shifting around some on the sofa Damon got comfortable and turned to his Father, "So you two mated I got that much already."
"When the Order vacates Sirius's home we will be moving there, me, you, Bill and Sirius. We plan to ask Bill if he's willing to get a partial adoption done with us, that would legally name him your brother and mine and Sirius's son," Fenrir said which made Damon blink rapidly.
"But he has parents…how does that work?" Damon asked tilting his head he had never heard of such a thing before.
"Well in the Ministry it will still mark his birth parents as such, but will simply mark us as his chosen family meaning he is not blood nor is will I have any legal say with but he will be marked in our family history," Fenrir explained before ruffling his son's hair, "And we plan to out you to everyone here for who you were-"
"Wha-why? They like me and I like them?" Damon felt panic rise in his chest, "I want them to still like me!"
"And we won't ever know if they like you for who you are completely or if they just liked you for being my mysterious son," Fenrir said which made Damon's green-gold swirled eyes drop to the floor, "I know it's a lot to take on but I just want you to have real relationships."
Meanwhile at Grimwauld Place Sirius was trying to get his Mother to calm down enough to speak in a civil way with him while Bill was holding up some shields since the Order was quite pissed at them for threatening to kick them out, "Mother please," Sirius said holding his hands up in defense as she cursed at him.
"Gone Dark both of you bloody bastards!" Ron screamed at them which made Bill scowl and Sirius tense and twitch a second, which made the woman in the portrait pause since her son seemed pissed off.
Turning Sirius looked at Ron and said, "Listen you sniveling little brat this is my house, my property and I will not have you taking up that sort of language under my roof! Do it again and I'll cut out your tongue!" then he claimed and turned back to his Mother who was smirking some, "I'll explain everything to you and tell you about your grandson possibly plural if you help me."
"Are they pureblooded?" Walburga asked crossing her arms, "I won't accept anything less."
"Help me first there are some ease dropping people who do not deserve to know anything about my child and or children," Sirius said before blinking suddenly, "Whoa that's weird sounding isn't it Bill?"
"Sirius we do not have the time for you to back pedal into Gryffindor mode stick with the scary Lord Black thing you had going a second ago!" Bill snapped sweating since he was forcing his entire magical reserve into the shields.
"Oh right," shaking his head Sirius took a calming breath and turned to his Mother, "How do I evict them from this home even though it is under a secret keeper who is not me?"
"Well that's easy this is an Ancient and Noble house, the Lord of any such bloodline can easily break all magical ties to his home by saying our family motto with the idea of breaking the ties in the forefront of their minds," Walburga informed before smirking, "You do remember the family motto right?"
"Toujours pur," Sirius said calmly before smiling some, "I may have disagreed with the family Mother but it was still my family, and I never let myself forget most the lessons you taught me," he closed his eyes as he focused his magic and the intent to sever the tie Dumbledore had with the home into his mind before saying as if one was saying a spell, "Toujours pur!" and the magic snapped and he shivered at the control he felt over the entire house, "Whoa."
"Now to get unwanted guests from the house simply use the rite of old," Walburga said testing her oldest son who paused for a second, "Come now Sirius you have to remember this one."
"Oh wait…Is this what Father made me and Regulus learn until we could say it in our sleep?" Sirius asked getting a nod he turned and took a breath of calming air before saying, "I Lord Sirius Black, Son of Orion and Walburga Black, Master and Lord of this House and all existing Black properties command those within whom are not my blood, name, or friend to leave my home or face the consequences of the magical barter!" and every single person but Bill and Sirius felt a magical sting and winced as they realized they had five minutes to get off the property or their magic would leave for Sirius as its new master.
"You won't get away with this, remember Sirius you're still a wanted man!" Dumbledore growled before leaving the house with the others, the new wards shooting up around the home keeping the whole home protected from any harm.
