Chapter 8
"I think we should name him Darnell Gavyn Gibbs, he is hidden and his family is well known for their battles." Riana stated
"Any objections?" Regan asked. Everyone shook their heads. Jack came back followed by 5 men and 3 women.
"Gibbs I would like you to meet The Pack, Will, Steve, Sam, Dean, Jo, Cristal, Sara, Nickie, and Beth. Pack meet Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his son .."
"Darnell Gavyn Gibbs," Rachel interrupted her father. They nodded to each other.
"We would like for you to go to England, and find Severus Snape. Ask him for an Wizards Oath to not reveal anything spoken between you regarding his sister." Regan told the pack. "If he doesn't want to make the Oath then tell him his nephew will try to find him when he is of age. Then leave. "
"What is our time frame? " Will asked as Pack Alpha
"A month," Jack answered.

Two days later
"The adoption ritual is something that only our families practice. Each ancient family has there own version, but ours is more difficult do to the selectivity of the magic." Regan explained. All the Mallards were in two circles females in the smaller inner circle males in the larger outer circle. Harry and Gibbs were in front of a cement pedestal with a brass bowl on top in the center.
"Have you memorized the chant Harry?" Riana asked. Harry nodded. "Then go ahead."
Harry opened his mouth and in the voice of an adult started chanting
Blood to blood I call to thee
Blood to blood I call you near
Blood of my blood I call The family
Meadownights past I call you Here
Meadownights past I order you Here
Meadownights past I command You Here
Harry finished the first chant that he had been taught, as the room started to fill with ghosts. One lone ghost, who looked like an older version of Harry, stepped forward and said, "My name is Richard Meadownight. I was the last of the bonded Lords of the meadow. How may I assist you, my nephew?"
""Actually Richard," Nessa said as she stepped forward, "we summoned you all hear to witness the blood adoption for the last born Meadownight."
"Nessa, my friend, it has been so long. We have watched the death of our family and saw our sister taken," Richard said with sadness. "It saddens me that her son has to go to another to be raised. Who will be adopting him?"
"You Nephew will be adopting this man as his father," Jake answered pointing to Gibbs. "We would also like to ask that his name be changed in the family lists."
"Is this what you want my nephew?" Richard asked.
"Yes," Harry answered.
"So be it. I will start the chant, when you feel it you join in," Richard stated.
Blood is Family

Harry and the other ghosts joined in.

As the last line died out the ghost went from see through to flesh and blood. "Now for the adoption," Richard said as he joined Harry and Gibbs in the center and the Meadownights formed a third circle close to the pedestal. Richard held Harry as he made slits on Harry and Gibbs left and right hands. "Now clasp hands over the basin. Then Harry you say the chant." As the two clasped hands Harry chanted,
My blood is your blood, one blood
Son to father
I accept you as my father
May our blood be one
My blood is your blood, one blood
So Mote it Be
"So Mote it Be" everyone said as Harry did. There was an explosion of light from their joined hands. When the light cleared Harry was taller and Gibbs had more green in his eyes.
As the last Head of the Meadownight family I, Richard Brian Meadownight, pass the magic, rites and knowledge to, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the father of my nephew, Darnell Gavyn Meadownight Gibbs, as I will it so mote it be.
As the ritual came to a close a wave of magic engulfed everyone in the room and rippled outward. In the forensic labs of NCIS Abby Sciuto collapsed when struck with the magic. Across the pond in Scotland Severus Snape screamed and collapsed when he was struck by the magic. Albus Dumbledore passed out from the backlash and in a remote corner of the world a wrath weakened till it latched on to other parts of its self so that it didn't disappear.
