Chapter four: Finding family

"You are kidding! " Sirius, Mirzam and Harry said in unison.

"Why?" Regulus asked.

"Because I'm here and as you see I'm not dead," said Harry.

"If you are Harry Potter. Do you remember what I told you when I saw you for the first time after sixteen years?" asked Regulus.

"I remember. You told me that with my appearance I could be Sirius' and Mirzam's son as well Lily's and James'" said Harry thoughtfully.

"I meant it," said Regulus.

"You meant it?" asked Sirius.

"Yes. I did. I watched him for all this years and his character is not James' character Sirius'. He always strongly reminded me about you and Mirzam. I still insist on using Familious Potion," said Regulus.

"You still have this?" asked Harry.

"Yes. I can use it. If it is what you want, Harry." said Regulus.

Harry glanced at Mirzam and Sirius. If he were their son, he would have something what he wanted for years, own family. If he weren't their son they would be still there for him. In any way he would win. Different prizes but still he would win "Yes. I want to use it," he said.

Regulus nodded and left the room.

Sirius and Mirzam didn't say anything. Harry saw that their hands linked and clutched each other. 'They still have hope, but about what?' Harry asked himself.

Regulus entered the room with familiar vial, knife and new piece of parchment.

"You know the rules Harry" he said when he handed Harry the vial.

"Disgusting" Harry said after he drunk the potion.

The only one person in the room who was looking at Harry was Regulus. Mirzam and Sirius stared at the carpet, their heads down, their hands still linked. Regulus moved from against the wall and cut Harry's hand. Harry saw his own blood falling on the parchment. 'Now everything will be clear' he thought to himself.

Regulus took the parchment and leaned again against the wall. Harry didn't know how much time had passed when he saw broad smile on Regulus face.

"You should take a look at this" he said to him handing the parchment to Harry.

Harry glanced at the parchment and he felt that his jaw dropped.

On the parchment Mirzam Cassiopeia Verascez name was linked with Sirius Mufrid Black name and both lines came down to Raven Alrai Black. He raised his head and glanced at his parents and said "Mum. Dad. What are we doing now?"

Sirius and Mirzam stared at him in total disbelief. Sirius slowly took the parchment from his hands and both adults stared at it. The first person to react was Mirzam.

"Raven?" she asked tentatively and before her son could replied, she hugged him tightly.

How good it was to be in your mother embrace. His mother from all people. He glanced at his father. Sirius still stared at the parchment in total disbelief.

"You can't believe it because you buried your hopes in our family vault along with the boy who you thought was your son, Sirius" Regulus said. "Hello, anybody home" Regulus asked after a while and waved his hand before Sirius eyes.

That brought Sirius back "Raven. My son. Alive" he whispered and hugged his son.

The bear hugs from his parents knocked the oxygen from his lungs "I love you two very much, but I think I need to breath" Raven said to his parents and their grip on him loosened but just a bit.

"I think we have another problem now" said Regulus.

"What kind of problem?" Sirius asked.

"His name. Yeah, I know you baptized him as Raven, but the point it is if he wants to be called by this name. Do you want huh safe name now hmm... Harry?" Regulus asked.

"I like Raven. It sounds nice" replied Raven.

"We have another problem Regulus" said Mirzam.

"What kind of problem?" Regulus asked.

"Someone should go to Dumbledore and tell him that you 'killed' Harry Potter. And it's not going to be me" the last sentence was spoken by both Sirius and Mirzam.

Regulus sighted "Fine. I would go. But you better change his appearance. Your son shouldn't look like Snape" he said and left the room.

"Very funny" Sirius called after his brother.

"He has a point dad" said Raven.

"I know, he has. But Regulus was wrong about one thing" said Sirius

"Which one?" Raven asked.

"You don't have your mother's hair that's sure" said Sirius.

"And for sure you don't have your father's eyes. Green eyes are dominant gene in Verascez family" said Mirzam.

"Both green and grey eyes are dominant gene in the family. But Verascez eyes are more dominant than Blacks eyes" said Sirius.

"But you are both descents of Verascezs line" said Raven.

"Yes we are, but as we told you Blacks line came from Niger Verascez and he has different mother than his younger siblings. Niger and his descendants have grey eyes. You will not find a Black with other eyes than grey Raven. Except you. Nemo and Mirzam had the same mother and their eyes were green, the same shade as ours" said Mirzam.

"You can always recognize Verascez by his or hers eyes, because green eyes are dominating gene and this is more dominant than Blacks grey eyes" Sirius added.

"So how I should look like?" asked Raven.

"You should have your mother face and eyes and my hair" said Sirius.

"It means that you can use a comb and have a results because of this" Mirzam said.

"You can correct this. I don't know how to do this" said Raven.

"Concentrate on your mother's face. Good. Now concentrate on the eyes. Great" Sirius instructed him.

"Now concentrate on your father's hair. Just like that. I think you should add fringe to this, it hides your scar. That's it" said Mirzam

"Can I hide my scar?" Raven asked.

"I don't know. Maybe not yet. We should wait what Dumbledore would said about this" said Sirius.

"Answer me then one thing" said Raven.

"Why you have different surname? Why your name isn't Dumbledore-Riddle but Verascez?" Raven asked his mother.

"For second question. Firstly; I like Verascez. Secondly; I wouldn't walk around with mix of two the most powerful wizards in the world, thank you very much. Thirdly; it's easier for me using that name. For your first question, Sirius and I were married by American law, but we didn't reported it to British government, so it was cancelled and I'm not married to him by English law" answered Mirzam.

"Yet. It seems that we should get married again. Now when we are together again. So do not fear, Raven. If someone call you a bastard you can always reply that your parents were married before you were born" said Sirius.

"It is a proposal Sirius?" Mirzam asked.

"Well officially I should buy some flowers and ask you to marry me when everybody is around, but yes it is a proposal. I can always repeat it when we find the others" said Sirius.

"Promise me one thing Raven. Never ask girl to marry you by the way your father asked" said Mirzam smiling.

"I promise mum" Raven smiled and hugged his parents.

They get to the kitchen few minutes later when Raven was dressed up. He hid behind his parents back when Sirius told the others that he want to introduce his son, Raven.

"Good to meet you Raven. Sirius do you know where Harry is?" asked Hermione shaking Raven's hand.

"I'm afraid that I killed him this morning" said Regulus from behind them.

"You did what?" Hermione gaped at Regulus in shock.

"I give him Familious Potion and it turned that Harry Potter was dead for sixteen years" said Regulus.

Everybody in the kitchen ( save Raven and his parents ) stared at Regulus like he had a second head.

"Then who was Harry Potter for this years?" asked Remus who recovered first from the shock.

"Raven Alrai Black. Sirius' son and my godson" Regulus replied.

"I'm your godson?" asked Raven.

"I forget to tell you, sorry Raven" said Regulus.

"No problem, uncle Reg"

"But how it is possible?" asked Hermione staring at Raven in shock, he smiled at her.

Sirius explained everything to them, save the fact that Raven was Voldemort's grandson and Dumbledore's great-grandson. He also added the theory that Harry and Raven could be interchanged in the hospital because they were both born in the same hospital. So in the end Harry Potter was kidnapped instead of Raven Black.

"Weird. But I love the person you are inside not your name, for me you could be called Eugenius the Oddball and I will still love under any other name, Raven Black" she said and kissed him on the lips.

"I still insist on not becoming grandfather in near future" they heard Sirius behind them.

"You better do what you promised dad" said Raven and send his father a meaningful look.

"Sorry but I don't have flowers now Raven" Sirius replied.

"You are wizard or not?" his son asked him.

Sirius smacked his head and conjured a bouquet of white roses and fall on his knees before Mirzam "Mirzam Cassiopeia Verascez will you marry me?" he asked.

"Of course I will" she replied and was kissed by Sirius before she could add anything.

"Told you so" Hermione whispered to his ear.

"I know, but I didn't know then that I was their son" Raven replied.

"So when exactly you are planning to marry?" asked Remus.

"And who will be your bests?" asked Nymphadora.

"Surely before you two" said Sirius.

"It leaves us the rest of July and almost whole August" Mirzam added.

"So if you are uncle Sirius son it means that you are my cousin right?" Thabit asked Raven.

"Yep" Raven answered.

"I knew it. You seemed very familiar to me" Thabit said.

"That reminds me something Regulus. How Dumbledore reacted when you told him this?" asked Mirzam.

"Quite good. He asked if he can eat lunch with us. I told him that he can, so I guess he will be here around noon" Regulus replied.

"I think we should change the names under our family portrait. We have to add two new Blacks to this" said Andromeda.

"What names we have on it?" asked Remus.

"Remus, Nymphadora, Hermione and Kyle Lupin. Andromeda and Ted Tonks. Mirzam Verascez and Harry Potter. Sirius, Regulus and Thabit Black. We have to correct Verascez to Black and change Harry Potter for Raven Black" said Andromeda.

"Wait a minute. Hermione Lupin. I thought your surname was Granger?" asked Raven.

"Yes it was. But I'm going to change it for Lupin because it would be easier for Remus if I would be raised as his foster daughter, so it means that I have to change my name to Lupin before we come back to Hogwart" said Hermione.

"Why you didn't tell me Hermione?" asked Raven.

"It just slipped from my mind Raven" Hermione replied sheepishly looking at her boyfriend.

Raven smiled at her.

"Blacks, Tonks and Lupins in one house. It will be funny" said Regulus.

And everybody agreed with him.

RESPONSES TO REVIEWS:

gltgrl14:

No, she isn't.

Izzy:

Yes authors are brutal, but hey if we use cliffy we get more reviews.

raion:

Harry is the heir of Gryffindor, Slytherin and Verascez.

Mirzam same as Harry.

Sirius is only the heir of Verascez.

Dumbledore is Dumbledore. It was his wife who was the heir of Gryffindor.

Dumbledore don't know about it because Mirzam didn't told him because she knows that Dumbledore greatest weakness is his daughter.

Yes she is parseltongue but she used it once or twice when she helped Sirius pulling a prank on the Slytherins.

Mirzam appearance. I think I said it somewhere before. She is a Metamorphomagus but she use her power only to change her hairs. Fringe on the rest of the stuff...

Yes they are.

I don't know, he gets what he always wanted to have real family.

Who tells that Ron will find out? You need to read chapter 5 ( my beta have it ). Hermione doesn't know, yet. I ended chapter 7 and he still didn't have a chance to tell her this but I promise you that she wouldn't mind it.

Kate is still alive, yet. I share Mirzam point with this. If I have mother like Kate I would either kill myself or my mother.

Dumbledore knows that his daughter always loved Tom. She loved him so much that she left her father, her daughters and she followed him. Tom don't knows nothing about love because the love is one-sided. To know the love you has to love at last one person. And Tom didn't love anyone.

Yes the chapter was betaed.

He he he. Blame Regulus not me.

I will update after my beta send it back.

:::pulling Regulus kitty eyes::: I can better

Regulus: Sniffy I want my eyes back.

Oh there are thinks which I can't say here if you want to know more here is my email: mrs.sniffyinteria.pl . Feel free to write.

Rhyia:

You know the truth.

PreetoakaRavenPotterWeasley:

Sniffy: :::asking Mirzam to use legilimency on her:::

Mirzam: I don't think that you have her in your head Sniffy.

Sniffy: Are you sure?

Mirzam: Yes.

Are you sure that you are not sitting in my mind? It is exactly what I have in my head since I posted first chapter of Reunion. I planed to bring that subject around Christmas then I writed chapter 7, thought about it more and coming to conclusion that it would gold it until Christmas and tried to rewrite chapter 7.

Brother Brother – yes there will be more of Brother Brother stories.

Pairings: Harry/Hermione, Ron/Luna, Remus/Dora, Andromeda/Ted, Sirius/Mirzam ( planed from the beginning ) I don't know if I will put Weasleys in Family Portrait, I know that I planed it before but chapters 4 & 5 turned that way where there is no place for the Weasleys – yet. I may change the plans but I write whenever I have a muse and sometimes my muse is on the vacation ( chapter 2 for example – I tried to write it three times before it turned the way you know ).

Regulus was, is and always be on Sirius side. This is the one thing which would never change in this stories.

About the link. I saw few of this things before. I would read whole site, but not now. I'm tired and my back hurts. Maybe tomorrow.

See you guys in chapter 5.
