Rhyia:

Yes we will hear more about books and Hogwart before Rowan and Raven will come back to there. They will get at last one letter from Hogwart before they will come back.

rayolis:

Maybe but if will do something it would come out around Christmas. One thing I have to tell: Mirzam and Lily are twin sister even if one of them has black hair and the other has red hair.

raion:

Rather that second thing and well according to cannon he is a Gryffindor. Perhaps they will find out, perhaps. Reg is a pacifist, really. Ollivander know about everything because for Dumbledore it was clear that if Kyle and Thabit has to get their new wands they will went to Ollivander with whole family. Yes, I have a reason to make them good in Transfiguration. What is a kismet? Mark has four sisters: Hilda, Kate, Brenda and Lorna. Hilda and Kate are 14 and Lorna and Brenda are 11 just like Mark. Well Kate. I like name Kate but I know so many Kates that I will never name my daughter Kate. Besides I have a reason to name her Kate ( remember bad twin theory? ). Hilda and Kate went to Beauxbatons because their father want them to go there and they are going to Hogwart because their family decided that they have to send their kids to safe school. Evans are wizards, whole family – I suggest using imagination with it ;) . The centaur was called Ronan. Not much, wait to chapter nine. I'm horrible drawer but one from my friends sketched Mirzam for me and she looks just like I imagined her. Why Regulus is in St. Mungo's? I showed him few Regulus/Severus stories when he count how many people I killed in Brother Brother, they told me that he may recover, someday but know he is making friends with Alice and Frank. I KNOW that there are people who read stories but don't review, hell I'm one from this person. I read few stories which I didn't reviewed at all or I left one review, but I really has to like a story to review, for example I reviewed Avestia's stories, Four Moths in the Past and Family Bloodlines ( wonderful story with alive Regulus and Hermione as…. Read it it's wonderful ) chapter-by-chapter ( at last Family Bloodlines ) and few others. Thanks I feel better. Sirius could you?

Sirius: Could I what?

Sniffy: It started again.

Sirius: Take painkiller and rest, you still want to have your right arm. Yes, Sniffy has a 'little' problem with her arm, she donated blood yesterday and the nurse who took the blood from her has to hurt one of the nerves so now Sniffy is howling in pain because she can't move her right arm. It looks funny when she is writing everything with her left hand ( Sniffy is right handed ). Yes we will try to keep her away from the corner but I'm not promising miracles.

I know that people read my story. I know that some of them don't review it, but please leave at last a note that you like it. REVIEWS MAKE AUTHORS HAPPY.

Chapter eight: Eavesdropped conversations.

It was two days after they went to Diagon Alley. Raven was anxious. He didn't told Rowan about his heritage. He decided that he would do this today. He plucked up all his Gryffindor courage and knocked at Rowan's door.

"Come in" Rowan answered.

"Rowan I want to talk with you about something" Raven said when he closed the door.

She patted the spot next to her on her bed and Raven sat there.

"About what you want to talk about?" she asked.

Raven took a deep breath and started his story, he didn't miss anything from things his parents told him.

"So" he ended.

"So what?" she asked.

"What do you think about this?" he asked.

"You mean what I think about you being Voldemort grandson?"

He nodded.

"I should recall your great-grandfather words. You are what you become, not what you were born. You are nice person Raven, a good friend, yes you have demerits but everybody has them. I don't have problems with your heritage. I know you and I know that you will not follow your grandfather footsteps. You are like your mother with that. She acknowledged the fact but she is still the person she was before she found out abut it. She is the nicest person I ever meet and I'm happy that she is my friend. Remember, you are what you become not what you were born Raven" Rowan said.

"I'm glad that you don't have problems with that, I think that I couldn't bear that if you would left me now"

Rowan smiled "I have one problem now, I think that something fall into my eye. Could you check what it is?"

Raven grinned. He knew what that meant...

"You two get a room" they heard Thabit voice behind them and they pulled away.

"Envious Thabit?" Raven asked.

"Me. Phew. Not. But I heard that your father wants to check how you two are doing and judging by his reaction when he caught you two snogging last time he may have a heart attack if he will find you again like that" Thabit said.

"Why I should have a heart attack?" asked Sirius from the door.

"Uncle Siri" Thabit launched himself at his uncle.

Sirius raised his nephew then he looked at his son "You two were snogging again?" he asked.

"Don't use Legilimency on us dad" Raven replied.

"I didn't. If you don't want people to know that you were snogging I suggest to not crease your robes. Mirzam wants you two in the kitchen, you missed lunch" said Sirius and still with Thabit in his arms he marched from the room.

Raven and Rowan looked at each other and burst in laugh.

"Father's knows better," Rowan giggled.

"I think I will spy them, maybe when I catch them snogging somewhere I will repay for that," said Raven.

They burst in laugh again.

Afternoon passed nicely. Rowan and Raven were doing their summer homework. Two 'little lions' – like Regulus used to call Thabit and Kyle (they still sung 'I just can't wait to be a king' on top of their lungs sometimes) – buried their noses in their potions books.

"I'm bored," said Kyle.

"So go play wizard chess with Thabit. I still have to write differences between Dreamless Sleep Potion and Draught of the Living Death" Rowan suggested.

"Adults are on the corridor," said Thabit suddenly.

They stilled. They heard Regulus', Sirius' and Mirzam's voices on the corridor.

"After children will be in the bed. Drawing-room on the first floor" said Sirius.

"Curios" said Raven after adults' footsteps stilled on the stairs.

"You want to eavesdrop them?" asked Rowan.

"Yes. Remember that they promised that we would be informed about everything because we are part of the Order of the Phoenix. But it isn't weird that it wasn't any order meeting since we are here" Raven replied.

"Maybe it's not Order stuff?" asked Rowan.

"Maybe, but it wouldn't hurt if we check this out" said Raven.

Short after 11pm Raven, Rowan, Thabit and Kyle ("if you don't bring us too we are going to tell the adults what you are up to") found themselves under Raven's invisibility cloak in drawing room on first floor. They sat in the corner and waited for adults to arrive. They didn't wait more than five minutes when Mirzam and Sirius showed up.

"Mirzam, sweetheart you don't have a proof" said Sirius when they sat down on the couch that kids could see their faces.

"I know that Sirius. But you remember Jane Nott. You saw her"

"Once or twice. And I was ten years old then, she was seventeen then" Sirius replied.

"But you remember her"

"She has long, straight, brown hair and brown eyes a far as I remember, but sweetheart there is no way that Jane Granger was Jane Nott in the disguise. They looked different"

"Shit talking Sirius. You know that women has a things to change their hairs, like waving iron, curl-papers"

"I know. But sweetheart remember that Jane Nott was a nearly squib..."

"And Jane Granger was a muggle. The level of the power almost the same"

"Jane Granger was 44"

"Jane Nott would be 44 too this year"

"Mirzam I know that you have Hermione's I mean Rowan's best interest at heart but if you suggest her that her mother perhaps was a squib and daughter of one of the most respectable pureblood families..." Sirius started

"She may ask Regulus about Familious Potion and we will don't have a problems with that"

"He used the last portion on Raven. And we are out from ingredients of that potion. And you know that brewing it in home is illegal"

"Said the man who always followed the rules. So explain me my dear soon-to-be-my-husband-again why I found wand in Jane Granger things?"

"Maybe it belonged to John's brother or his wife"

"Maybe it belonged to them or maybe it belonged to Jane. Jane Nott left wizarding world after graduation, remember. She was ashamed because she was nearly a squib"

"James was right about one thing," said Sirius.

"Which one?" Mirzam asked.

"If you want to have last word in the discussion with woman, find a way to silence her" said Sirius and with this leaned closer to Mirzam and kissed her.

Mirzam made a movement like she was going to pull away from Sirius but after the moment she decided against this and she gave up to the kiss. Sirius fingers entwined into Mirzam's jet-black locks. Raven didn't check his watch but he could tell that more than two minutes has to pass before Sirius and Mirzam pulled away from each other. Mirzam head rested on Sirius left shoulder.

"Did you talk to one of them?" she asked.

"No. Not yet" he said and his left hand entwined into her hairs again and his right hand linked with her left hand.

"Why?" she asked.

"They are young, they feelings could change and besides I still want to have an authority in my son"

Mirzam snorted, "They love each other"

"I know but how would you react when you would find out that you're perfect parents promised you to the..."

"Girl you love" Mirzam ended for him.

"Raven's ring vanished and Rowan is not wearing her ring," said Sirius.

"I asked Remus to check Potters vault, he found Raven's ring and Rowan is wearing her, not on the finger but she is wearing it" Mirzam sighted.

"So sweetheart tell me how I'm supposed to break the news: Raven I forgot to tell you but your mother and I promised you as a husband for Grangers daughter who happened to be your girlfriend. Even in my mind it sounds stupid," said Sirius.

Mirzam snorted, "So don't tell him, Mr. Courage-Is-My-Second-Name"

"Then I would have to take a measure on my coffin" Sirius snorted.

"I don't think that it would be that bad" said Mirzam.

"You don't know him like I know him" Sirius replied.

"He is our son, yes he will be mad at us at the beginning but he would forgive us because he knows that we have his best interest at heart"

"Maybe..." said Sirius.

'Rowan and I are engaged? Since when? Why they didn't tell us? What are this rings they are talking about?' Raven thought.

Sirius lifted Mirzam's left hand that it was on his eyes level. Raven saw that on her ring finger was a ring. Silver ring with little Celtic symbols and engraved 'Semper Niger' on it. Raven tried to find another ring on his father's hand. He caught a glimpse of silver on Sirius left hand.

"Kowalski made a good job" said Sirius staring at Mirzam's ring.

"There is a one time when Blacks always hid their pride and remembered that muggles exist. Jewelry" Mirzam muttered.

Sirius smiled "Polish jewelers are good. Kowalskis made jewelry for our family since ages"

"They could build the house bigger than Grim Manor and Malfoys Manor together from your family money" said Mirzam and buried her head in Sirius shoulder.

"I agree"

"Where is Regulus? If he will not come here in next five minutes then I'm going to the bed" Mirzam asked.

"I'm here lovebirds. What's with you people? Anywhere I go, I always find lovebirds, if not you then Remus and Dora, if not them then Ted and Andromeda or Raven and Rowan," said Regulus.

"You are jealous Reg," said Sirius.

"I'm not"

"Yes, you are"

"I'm not"

"Yes, you are"

"Not"

"Yes"

"Not"

"Yes"

"Not"

"Yes"

"Oh come on you two. Regulus you have something to tell us" Mirzam interrupted.

"Yes I have"

"Go on"

"I want you to start Animagi lessons with at last your son if not with Rowan and Thabit" said Regulus.

"Why?" Sirius asked.

"Because his form is cleaving again" Regulus said.

"Again?" Mirzam raised her head from Sirius' shoulder.

"Again. We have to catch it before it would become totally slated" said Regulus.

"We could start their lessons tomorrow, but explain me Reg from where you know this?" asked Sirius.

Regulus sat down on the opposite side of the couch, the kids who moved from the corner that way that they were now between two couches saw that Regulus rubbed his hands and said "I'm Animagiseer"

"You are Animagi what?" asked Sirius.

"Animagiseer. It's very rare gift, the last known Animagiseer was born five hundreds years ago. Animagiseer is an Animagus who..." Mirzam started.

"Who is able to see other peoples inner animals. You have to be born with that but it shows during puberty time. Usually Animagiseers were men. That ability is both blessing and the curse" Regulus ended.

"Why?" Sirius asked.

"Animagiseer who don't know how to control this ability is practically blind for other people" said Regulus.

"How it works?" asked Mirzam.

"You see animals instead humans. If someone is an Animagi, I mean if that the person mastered Animagi then he or she has a very strong aura, if he didn't his aura is normal like in muggles. Animagiseer can recognize if someone is Animagus or not, if someone has potential to become one, if someone could ever master it" Regulus explained.

"So why it is a curse?" asked Sirius.

"Because until you wouldn't master few techniques how to use it and how to see everything the way other peoples see, all you are seeing is only an animals" said Regulus.

"I'm guessing that you mastered this techniques. When it showed up? What you use to see everything our way?" asked Mirzam.

"Yes I mastered this techniques. It's Occlumency and Legilimency and other thing, which I don't know the name. It's very helpful, but when I'm not using my Animagiseer ability for long time I feel restless and very tired. I learned how to switch between these two visions. I'm blocking animagiseeing during the day when I'm in the house and I let it took control at the evening and night. I was eleven when it showed up first" Regulus answered.

"You mean..." Sirius started.

"Yes I knew about Remus and about you. Animagiseers can recognize werewolves. Coming back to your son. There are few wizards in the world who has potential to become Multi-Animagi. There are very powerful people. Dumbledore, Voldemort, you Mirzam and your son" said Regulus.

"Me? Multi-Animagi?" she asked.

"You can't deny that you are powerful Mirzam. You mastered Animagi, but your other inner animal feels restless and it knows that it has to show up. It makes you restless and tired. Since I saw you, you looked sick, at first I thought that it was from Azkaban but spending more time with you I know that your second inner animal wants to show up, you are unconsciously blocking it and it is what made you weak. You have to master Animagi again and you would feel better" Regulus explained.

"What you know about Multi-Animagi?" she asked.

"The second form is usually magical beast. Dumbledore's form is unicorn – he mastered it, Voldemort's is Lethifold – he didn't mastered it last time I know something about this, yours and Raven's are..." Regulus stopped and turned towards kids.

"If you want to eavesdrop under invisibility cloak I suggest you to use invisible tent because I saw Thabit's shoes" said Regulus.

Mirzam made a movement with her hand and invisibility cloak flew to her hand.

"Care to explain us what you are doing here?" Sirius asked.

"I think that we were eavesdropping uncle Sirius," said Thabit.

"Curiosity killed the cat," said Regulus.

"And cats have nine lives" replied Thabit.

Everyone in the room burst in laugh.
