"I lost control of my temper." He said apolegetically.
"It's fine, Shadow dear, you can't help it when that old bat drives you mad, and Harry James Potter if I ever hear such language from your mouth again I'll wash it out," warned Molly.
"Calm down, Molly, let's all just go and have a cup of tea," soothed Shadow.
"Good idea. We'll join you," came an unfamiliar voice. In the doorway three women stood. One was about Remus's age and had shoulder length dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. The other two were about sixteen, one who looked almost completely like the older woman except brown eyes and the other had black hair and blue eyes.
It was Remus who charged forward and grapesd the woman around the waist. "Rose, my beautiful angel," sighed Remus as he swung her around. Remus put her down as Shadow stepped forward.
"Where's Jesse and little James?" he asked his eyes flashing to a dark red.
"They took them, Nicky. The girls and I were out when they came, I'm sorry." Her voice cracked and Remus let her go as she hugged Shadow.
He pulled back and the fire was raging in his eyes. "I need to be alone," he gasped painfully as a knot grew in his throat. Then he took off up the stairs and disappeared into one of the rooms.
"Let's go have that cup of tea, shall we?" The woman said and with a nod Molly led the group into the kitchen.
"Harry, I want you to meet Rose Rivers, my wife," as the words were spoken the kitchen went quiet and everyone looked at Remus.
"Your wife, why not a Lupin?" Harry asked quietly.
"I can explain that, Harry," said Rose. "When Voldemort reached his peak me and my best friend Jessica fled to the States with our young children, which is what we wanted your mom to do. The name is just a way of hiding our pasts," she said this all very slowly and every one watched and listened. "Well we waited out the war but when it was over we just couldn't come back with one of our husbands dead and the other, well out of commission. so to speak," she explained quietly.
There was a loud crash from above and everyone paused. "Well that's most of it, I came back because, well, it was requested of me," she said as Molly handed out the tea. "But enough of these sad tales of woes, how about we make introductions. This is Jessica," she pointed to the girl with blonde hair, "and this is Serenity," she indicated the girl with dark hair. Slowly, everyone was introduced and when Blaise's name was mentioned there was a few intakes of breath.
"Well since your all introduced it's time we get down to business if you could follow me to the study," a young woman's voice came from the door and with nods from all she led them to the study.
Shadow was seated in the front row in a large leather chair beside him fold- out chairs were set. The woman quietly stepped up to the podium in the front. As they filed in they realized there were others sitting in the room, including Narcissa and Draco Malfoy.
"If everyone will take a seat, I see most of you are here. Shacklebolt, Dung, Tonks, Albus..." she scanned the list and matched names with faces. "Okay, everybody's here. My name is Carmen AppleGate and I'm a magical lawyer. We are all here for the reading of the last will and testament of Sirius N. Black."
There were a few gasps and then Carmen muttered and out of her wand stepped Sirius Black.
"Welcome everyone to my lovely - wait, scrap that - crappy home. To start the day off I will be dividing my junk up between you lot. I do wish to say that Shadow, there are some people I want you to help get revenge. Harry and Remus are the first, then young Neville, then me, my wife and son were murdered, I want you to help me there."
Shadow nodded and looked like he was ready to hop to it that very second.
"Now there are a lot of really boring and pointless estates and vaults to give away so get comfortable people." Sirius sighed like this was hell to him. "To Narcissa Black Malfoy, I give you a slap on the back - you married one ugly slime bag and produced a spoiled brat, wow it's the life. But as I did help put your husband in jail, I give you 10 Galleons and to your son Draco, the scumbag, I give, besides a boot up the rear, 1 Galleon.
"Now to the Granger family, I leave a sum of 100,000 Galleons and one summer cottage in California. To Kingsley, I leave a sum of 50,000 Galleons and two boxes of Defense books in my library. Tonks recieves 100,000 Galleons and a few boxes in the attic. To Snivellus, I leave my entire potion section and two trunks of potion supplies. To Molly Weasley, I leave my cooking section and 100,000 Galleons. To her husband Arthur, a garage full of Muggle artifacts and 100,000 Galleons. To each of their sons and their daughter, a sum of 50,000 Galleons. If Percy has not returned to the family his share goes to Molly and Arthur. To my friend Remus Lupin, I leave 100,000 Galleons and my home at Grimwauld Place, and a Galleon a month for the Remus Lupin Anti-lycanthropy trust which is to be put to use finding a cure for lycanthropy. To Albus Dumbledore, I leave the Hogwarts trust fund which is to be put to use protecting Hogwarts. To Blaise Zabini and her family, I leave 1,000 Galleons. To Rose Evans, Serenity Black, and Jessica Lupin, I leave a 100,000 Galleons each and to Rose a house in which to raise her family, including Serenity, Jessica, and Harry. To Harry, I leave most the rest of my estate except a few things which I cannot give; one, the armory of the Black family will go to Shadow along with a few estates and the ancestreal castle. And 100,000,000,000 Galleons. The rest goes to my godson and to do what he wants, though I wish you would share your fortune with your Aunt Rose, her daughter Jessica and my daughter Serenity. Goodbye, farewell, and I look forward to seeing you wonderful people again someday."
With that, Sirius Black disappeared and left a room full of shocked people.
"Well Harry, I guess that makes me your aunt." Rose said shyly.
"I guess it does." Harry replied. With a grin they both came together in a loving embrace.
