the Black Consort
Summary: following the Events of Halloween 1981, Sirius took Harry and sought out his Grandfather for aid. After striking a deal with Loki (think Tom Hiddleston, Thor 2 Loki) the Trickster, Sirius and Loki are bonded and Loki swears to protect and defend the House of Black against all threats. How will the Wizarding World react to a Harry Aries Black Loki-son and his confidence?
Sirius Orion Black stood with Harry securely wrapped in a sling to his chest outside the Black Family Townhouse. Sirius hoped that his Grandfather was inside, as he needed help.
The door swung open and Sirius was greeted by his Grandfather reaching out and pulling him through the door and slamming it shut.
'the Aurors were just here with a warrant for your Arrest, on the grounds of your killing the Potters' Arcturus offered as he gazed at Sirius's eyes intently, his wand hovering over Sirius's heart. He seemed to sigh then lowered his wand.
'so, it wasn't you then' he commented as he finally beheld the sleeping baby in Sirius arms.
'of course, it wasn't me, Grandfather! I loved James and Lily, and would die before betraying them. It was Peter, he was the secret keeper, I convinced James to swap and Dumbledore knew, he did the spell after all' he fell silent as the events of the previous 24 hours caught up with him.
'but Grandfather I need your help. My Blood adopted Godson has a gash radiating Dark magic on his forehead and it wont respond to my healing charms' he swiftly undid the wrappings and maneuvered Harry so that he was resting on Sirius' forearms looking at Arcturus who muttered a charm and a cool silvery light swept over Harry.
'when did you adopt him? And why didn't you bring him here for my blessing?' Arcturus asked as he now looked closer at the slumbering child. Indeed, he could see the roundness of all Black males, the dark raven hair and even some of Dorea's elegance and grace.
'hmm. No wonder the healing charms didn't work. This piece of magic is most foul indeed, and can be found in the Library' he led Sirius to the sitting room and pointed at a chair 'Sit you look exhausted' he said imperiously and then he called 'Kreacher! Your lord bids you come!' and a rather old crotchety house elf appeared at his side.
'Lord Black summons me?' then its eyes fell on Sirius and it snarled 'Filthy traitorous son of my Mistress! shamed she is!'
Arcturus snapped 'Kreacher enough! That is the Heir of Black you are talking too, hold your tongue! I called you here to fetch for me the arcane book Pollux left in the Library now go get it and bring It too me!' he commanded. Kreacher bowed and popped away.
'Grandfather, what is the magic?' Sirius asked as he set Harry down on the couch beside him and cast a mild sleeping charm.
'if it is what I suspect then you have 3 options: pay a Gringotts team of no less than 12 curse breakers to remove it, Kill the child although id hate that as he is the Last of Dorea and the Potters themselves' he paused as he remembered his little sister who had married Charlus Potter all those years ago, and Sirius bristled with anger at the mere suggestion.
'and the Third option' Sirius somewhat passive aggressively asked as Kreacher popped back in with a book. Arcturus shook his head and took the book, dismissing the elf with a wave of his hand. 'Appeal to a deity and ask them to remove it. I know that you and Dorea's boy dedicated yourselves' he flicked through the book and came to the right page. He swore.
'It is confirmed. A partial Horcrux Possession, with a runic matrix to bind it to the Scar. You now have 2 options, the Goblins at Gringotts or Appealing' he sighed and seemed to visibly age.
'I recognize Dumbledores magical signature from the Runic Matrix and the charms on you that were removed as you crossed the Threshold of this house. I cannot say what they were for however, Melania might if she was to examine you' he stood. 'what's your decision Sirius. You need to deal with this and then the matter of your warrant, I will assist with that'
'I'll Appeal. You were Right. James and I did dedicate ourselves to a Deity, the Norse Trickster in fact' Sirius seemed proud. Arcturus eyes widened.
Loki the Norse Trickster was renowned for his being both a prankster and ruthless when required.
'good then, perhaps he might help you with the matter'
…
An hour Later Sirius found himself in the Ritual Room of the Townhouse preparing to summon Loki.
'I Sirius Orion Black III call on Loki Lord of mischief to come forth and bless my son Harry James Potter Black' he chanted over the deeply sleeping child on the Alter piece, then the fire in the grate behind him gave a puff of flames and Sirius knew he and Harry were no longer alone.
A cool, cultured and British sounding voice spoke then: 'at last, one of my two most ardent devotees' appeals to me. how I have enjoyed the magical mischief you have wrought Sirius Orion'
Sirius turned and beheld the God. He was tall, with deep emerald green eyes and pale skin, and a face that seemed carved from marble. His nose was elegantly curved and his lips were full. His dark brown hair was long and he was dressed in fine leather. Sirius raked his eyes up and down the god before he shook himself.
'Lord Loki, I beg you to aid my son. He has been partially possessed by a magical being so evil that he dared split his own soul-'he stopped as Loki's eyes narrowed and his nostrils flared.
'The child has another soul attached? What was that stupid mortal thinking!?' Loki raged.
'I will aid the child, but cannot do it for free' he warned Sirius as he regained his composure.
'name your price, I will do anything for my son' Sirius swore with utter conviction.
'and if I require you to become mine?' Loki mused, smirking as Sirius spluttered.
'I am Afraid Lord Loki that you would be required to become my Heirs Consort' Arcturus declared as he stepped into the room, followed by 2 elderly women, one of whom was Sirius's Grandmother Melania Black nee Macmillan, a formidable healer, and the other was his great-aunt Cassiopeia Virgo Black a Mistress of many arcane magics. Both women looked at Loki and curtsied then turned their attention to Sirius.
'you were right dear' Melania spoke slowly and carefully as she traced her wand over Sirius body. 'there are several charms designed to compel Sirius to Hunt down Peter Pettigrew, be reckless and to blame himself for the Potters deaths' she stepped away from them and shook her head. She couldn't believe it when Arcturus had told her that her Nephew and his wife had been killed.
'excuse me?' Loki demanded of Arcturus. 'you do know that I am a God?!' he drew himself to his full height.
'a God you may be but No Black shall bow before another. If Forced, the Family Magic, from your Mother Frigga I believe would respond with force?' Cassiopeia sniffed as she stared defiantly at Loki, who knew that his mother was a force to wary of.
The Black Family originally hailed from what was now considered to be Sweden and for years had worshiped the Norse Gods. One of the Early Black ancestors had received the Blessing of Frigga, Queen of Asgard and lady of Marriage, which had tied itself to the Black Bloodline, and with each new addition, the magical blessing had grown and eventually developed a sort of sentience, and could actively affect the Family.
Arcturus as The Lord Black could control it, and Sirius as his designated Heir would receive control once Arcturus died.
'Very Well. The bargain is struck. I Loki, Lord of Mischief and Chaos shall aid the son of Sirius Orion Black and shall be his Consort.' As the oath took affect a golden wave of light filled the room.
'now Sirius I will need a pint of your Blood, the same Harry, I will drink the blood then have to birth him myself'
Loki explained as he began to undress, he quickly raised a shield to block the women from seeing his nude form, which he could hear them whispering about with hushed giggles.
Sirius poured the required pints of blood into 2 silver goblets and handed them to Loki who downed them one after the other. Loki then cut his finger with a ritual knife and drew a series of Elder and Younger Futhark Runes on his chest and belly. The Blacks watched as Loki picked Harry up off the Alter stone and opened his mouth wide like a snakes and swallowed him whole.
The room grew warm, then uncomfortably hot as Loki writhed in pain, the runes flashing Gold, Silver and then black, then he drew a dagger and cut his belly and pulled Harry out. The heat vanished along with the Runes and Loki quickly healed himself as Sirius snatched Harry away and hurried over to his grandmother's side so she could give Harry a scan.
'he is now free of the malicious presence' Melania declared as she swaddled Harry in a Blanket Cassiopeia had so kindly conjured.
'now there is the matter of joining Loki and Sirius as consorts' Arcturus pressed on, now that his great grandson was no longer befouled.
Sirius stepped close to Loki and offered his hand, which Loki took.
'By the Powers that be, I Lord Black wed thee both' Arcturus intoned and a wave of silvery green light flashed across both men, neither seemed to notice Arcturus's smirk as everyone departed the ritual room.
…
The blond-haired woman stood outside the front door of the Black Family Townhouse with her son in her arms and she hoped that someone was there.
Narcissa Malfoy nee Black had left her Husband when he had struck her over the loss of his Master. After gathering her possessions and those of Draco, she had flooed to the leaky Cauldron then apparated to the Townhouse and now here she was.
Movement at the door saw her startle as Cassiopeia appeared, wand raised.
'Narcissa Malfoy. you seem to be far from home' the elder witch narrowed her eyes at the mark on Narcissa's cheek. With a muttered charm, Cassiopeia cast a medical spell that would list each and every injury one had ever received.
'The Bastard DARED to lay a hand to MY NEICE in Violence?' Cassiopeia snarled as she allowed Narcissa into the house.
'Straight to Melania you go, Ill care for him' she ushered Narcissa upstairs and lifted the blond child from his mothers' arms.
What a day for the Black Family she mused as she took Draco up to the nursery and put him in a crib next to Harry, she then sat and began her watch over her 2 most precious charges.
