Responses for reviews:
Goldgrin, Rhyia, Beth5572 - Thanks for reviews.
raion: Regulus need others males help because he have problems in explaining this to Thabit, beacuse Thabit was so excited about meeting a werewolf and he asked so many questions that poor Regulus alone couldn't answer him for all of them. Harry is both the heir of Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Chapter three: Family revelations part 2
Harry stared at them wide-eyed "You're kidding, right?" he asked tentatively.
"Did I look like someone who would joke about this?" Mirzam asked.
Harry stared at her "No, but if you're Voldemort's daughter and you're my mother twin sister it means that I'm Voldemort's grandson " he said after a while.
Both adults nodded.
"And Dumbledore's great-grandson" Sirius added.
"Shall I continue?" Mirzam asked.
Harry nodded.
"Kate Dumbledore was on the same year as Tom. She loved him very much and she decided to leave her father, her life and she followed him everywhere. They left Hogwart after graduation in 1944 and hid somewhere in Europe. Kate loved him but she knew that she couldn't have children, because if Tom would know about kids he surely would turn them into evils. But what has to happen happen. In 1958 Kate found that she is pregnant, she asked Tom if she could go to England and saw how her father is doing, it seemed impossible but he agreed and Kate came back to England. She gave birth to twins 17th February 1959, she knew that she couldn't come back with her daughters to their father, so she decided to found them another home. She left younger girl, Lily Rose in muggle family of Evans. The older girl Mirzam Cassiopeia she left here in this house, she took the money which her mother left for here..."
"And she left it to my parents asking them to raise Mirzam as good girl, good Slytherin" said Sirius.
"Kate believed in bad twin theory. I was supposed to be that twin, to became my father servant in the future"
"But something turned wrong with Kate's idea. Mirzam's Gryffindor blood come to this and instead to Slytherin like any Slytherin heir should she was sorted to Gryffindor like me"
"If there is someone to blame about the way I turned it's Sirius"
"Thank you very much Mirzam"
Mirzam smiled "We grow up together, we have the same opinions about wizarding world. We were friends since I remember. He always stayed beside me, even if my world turned into ruins"
"Kate found Mirzam that summer after we left this house. I shouldn't came straight to James, I should deliver Mirzam straight to Evans' house and then came to James house"
"She found me somewhere in Great Whinging and then she told me this story, she asked also to tell my sister about this. But I decided against it. I just couldn't. When I saw Lily and her parents and how happy they are I couldn't bring myself to tell this. I promised to myself that I would always protect her from this. I didn't fail, Lily died from her father's hands not knowing about this"
"You should see Mirzam after she came back to Hogwarts. I mean, our whole sixth year was dreadful but in Mirzam's case was the worst. She cut herself from everybody, she stopped eating, she failed her studies and maybe if I didn't found her in right time she would commit a suicide"
"He found me on East Tower with the knife on our seventeen birthdays, he didn't want to left me until I tell him what had happened. I broke down and I told him everything. I thought that after he knew everything he would leave me. But he didn't, he stayed with me. If were good friends before our friendship grows stronger after that event"
"After she told me I proposed that we should cast Fidelius Charm and she agreed. I wasn't this one who should tell you or Lily about your heritage. It was Mirzam decision and if she told me that she wasn't ready for this I had to obey her and don't mention this until she agree. After we brought you here I asked her to tell you"
"But I wasn't ready for this yet Harry. I know how hard is when you're sixteen and you found that your family is not what it seems to be. I decided to wait until you will be old enough to don't react like I reacted, Harry, and mentally I was very strong person and if Sirius didn't rescued me in last minute I would commit suicide Harry"
"So you decided to protect me," said Harry.
"Yes. I would told you but after your Verascez abilities would show up first" she said.
"Abilities?" Harry asked.
"Yes. As Verascez descent you were supposed to have their abilities and power"
"Like?"
"Like Metamorphomagi, most of the Verascezs were them, you shouldn't have problems with Animagi and you could be like me Mencymagus or a seer. You would be told everything if one of them would show up and it did Harry. You are Metamorphomagus Harry"
"But how?"
"From what I know about Verascez abilities they were always inherited by slant. Daughters were always like their aunts not mothers" Mirzam said.
"But I'm boy. I can't be descent of Verascez daughters' line. Unless..."
"Unless you were born after Mirzam's son. And you were" said Sirius.
"How?"
"Mirzam and I had a son. He died when he was around one moth old. You were both born at the same day. 31st of July. He was kidnapped from Hospital when you both were born. I found him and his kidnappers on the list of passengers sailing to America. I flooed there and I waited. Three days after I came to America they found the ship. Everybody died. I came back to England with our son's dead body and we buried him in Black family vault"
"As far as I think, you were conceived after Raven, that's why you are boy. I'm the descent of two Verascez families' lines and Sirius is heir of one. The curse was annulled after our son was conceived, that's why Lily could give the birth to a son, Harry" Mirzam said.
"Especially when James wanted to have one. From what I know about Potters family from ages the only descents was the boys. Potters never have daughters and when Miram was born James almost get kittens because he thought that he wasn't her father. I haven't heart to tell him that until I would have son he was supposed to have only daughters by marrying one of Verascez daughter" Sirius said.
"I have a sister?" Harry asked.
"You had one, Harry. Miram died together with James' parents after Death Eaters attacked their house. She has only six weeks old then" said Mirzam.
"James decided that they wouldn't have another kid for at last five years"
"Your conceiving from what I heard was an accident, but James was proud like rooster after you was born. He had a son. He proved that he was a Potter," said Sirius.
"Sirius almost died from laugh when James told him that Miram's birth was an accident" said Mirzam.
"Did my parents or anyone knew about your son?" asked Harry.
"Regulus did. He baptized you both. He is good in keeping secrets. He didn't told about Raven anyone through this years because I asked him about this. For me death of my son was a huge shock..." started Sirius.
"And as you told total negligence from your part. He thought that he can protect everybody and he failed because he couldn't even protect his own son. It's all Sirius' words"
Sirius nodded "It was"
"That's why we were both so attached to you," said Mirzam.
"Because we promised to keep you safe," said Sirius.
"And they mean it" Harry heard Regulus voice from doorway.
"How much you heard Regulus?" asked Sirius.
"About Metamorphomagi and your son" said Regulus sitting down on Harry's bed.
"I thought that you were on breakfast," said Mirzam.
"I was. It ended fifteen minutes ago. So I decided to came here"
"Why?" asked Sirius.
"Because I remembered something. Remember that I told you that it was problems with baptizing Harry?" asked.
"Yeah I remember but you didn't told us what had happened" said Sirius.
"Because I didn't know what it mean then" said Regulus.
"But now you did" said Mirzam.
"Yes, I did. The Oracle didn't want to take Harry. At first I didn't know why, but now I know"
"Why?" asked Harry.
"The Oracle didn't take children already magically baptized" said Regulus.
"It's impossible" said Mirzam.
"It's possible Mirzam. Especial if the Rite was performed by the same person" said Regulus.
"What it means?" asked Harry.
"That Familious Potions is in order again," said Regulus.
Sirius gaped at Regulus wide-eyed "No, you're not suggesting this"
"Yes. I am, Sirius. I think that the boy who died that night sixteen years ago wasn't Raven Black"
"Who he was then?" asked Harry.
"Harry Potter" said Regulus calmly.
