Sirius was reluctant but he agreed to stay. The house had a dozen bedrooms over the upper three floors. He could have insisted his grandfather vacate the master but he did not. Not only as he didn't see a need to fight over a room but it had memories of his dad. Though he ran away, Alphard and Andromeda were not the only family he had contact with. He did not see him again until just before he died but he had the odd letter through his Uncle. The old man had even come to Alphard's funeral though he didn't speak to his son. There was no love between Orion and his brother in law, even before Alphard supported his nephew, but Orion came for his son. What only one person alive but him knew was that Harry had two middle names. He was Henry James Orion, Harry for short.

Instead he settled into his brother's old room. While the other ten were spread over 2 floor, there was only two and an attic storage up here. He smiled to see his son's nursery and was happy to be close again. Magic was used to turn the storage into a 3rd bedroom for Remus. Even with Wallburga seeming to move back in, there was 8 other bedrooms but Remus wished to be with the other two

Arcturus was not pleased when informed the wolf was staying. "We are not a half-breed guest house."

Sirius snarled. "Watch it old man."

Remus tried to calm him. "It is no big deal. I am used to it."

Sirius simmered. "He is not safe now Albus knows."

Arcturus didn't seem to care. "Send him to Potter. They pride themselves in half breed hospitality."

Sirius looked ready to throw a punch. "One more word and you can find new hospitality. This is MY house."

Walburga stepped in this time. "There is room enough for all."

Remus agreed with the woman. "Harry doesn't need this fighting."

Sirius looked at his son and back. "That's his godfather. You will watch what you call him in MY house."

Arcturus grunted. "I could simply disown you and be done with it."

Harry was getting upset. "No yell."

Walburga reached for him. "How about we go to your playroom while your Papa and grandsire talk?"

Harry went into her arms. He looked at his Papa. "No yell."

Sirius sighed as he watched his mother leave with his son. He was grateful she had taken Harry as she knew it was not good for him. There was a time he had liked the old man and was trying to remind himself why. He assumed it was due to before he went to live with his Aunt and Uncle, and later the Potters, it was the most attention he got. He had taught Sirius chess and how to ride. When he went to live with Dorea and her husband he saw how different it could be. He found Blacks who actually showed emotions. Not simply the couple but his Uncle Alphard. His mother didn't speak to her brother and he had never met the man until then. He also spent more time with his Uncle Cygnus. Cygnus was far more formal but allowed him to be close to Andromeda.

Remus looked between the two men and shared a look with Wallburga when she returned. The two men were so much alike it hurt. Sirius may have been softened by his Aunt, Uncle and the Potters but he was a Black. And when angry like now it showed.

Sirius glared at him. "See how well that worked."

Arcturus grunted. "Your brother had to go and get himself killed and leave us no option."

Sirius spat. "He was a spy and was murdered. You are back at square one, stuck with me unless you plan to off me."

Walburga spoke from the door "Your grandsire would not harm you no matter what a fool you are being."

Arcturus reminded him. "You are no longer the only option."

Sirius reminded him. "You can only adopt another heir if I die. Narcissa? Both know you aren't aiming for Tonks."

Arcturus glared. "No need to look at other lines. My line doesn't end with you."

Sirius realized. "My son."

"My great-grandson. He meets the requirements if I disown you."

Sirius spat. "So do it old man. I have enough from my Uncle."

"Don't think I won't."

"Oh we know you won't as you gain nothing." Sirius shot back. "You fought my father disowning me."

Arcturus didn't need reminding."It seems he had the right idea."

Sirius called an elf. "Send him to get the papers."

"Trying to call my bluff boy? Not winning."

"You gain nothing by naming him heir."

"My house and peace." Arcturus growled.

"My son is a minor and I am his guardian. Even if he is heir, I control his estate until he comes of age."

The two men stood there glaring and neither Remus nor Walburga quite knew what to say. Sirius was right in that naming Harry would change nothing. Sirius would control his son's claim for sixteen years. He wasn't sure why the old man was being such an ogre about it anyways. He had a dozen homes and until last year he hadn't lived here in decades. It had been Walburga and Orion's home for over thirty years. Arcturus became Lord Black when his son was a minor, his father died in his fifties, and he had used Grimmauld as a home when in London for business. When Orion finished school and needed a home that changed.

Walburga took a chance."You wanted him free and back."

He didn't like being reminded. "I wouldn't feed him to dementors. But he needs to remember family honor."

Sirius groaned. "Reminding me why I left."

Remus tried."It is your son's legacy."

Sirius glared at his best friend. "Not you too. He is a Potter."'

Remus added. "And a Black. There are many good Blacks."

"Romy and her daughter. The rest…."

"Your grandfather and mother. You made peace with your dad."

Sirius snapped. "Why are you standing up for him?"

"Because it's who he is. He is no harm to me. He can be a lot of good for Harry."

Walburga reminded him. "Harry needs training. You swore to your father and I you wouldn't deny us our grandson."

Sirius sighed. "Remus is staying."

Arcturus glared back. "I assume I can use his name."

Remus shrugged. "Progress."

No apologies were made but Remus and Walburga knew peace had been made. The two men were simply too stubborn and this was the closest to a reunion they could hope. For the sake of his son Sirius would play nice with the old man. He knew Remus was right and there were good Blacks. And beyond Fleamont he wanted his son to have family. His mother at least.

Kreacher appeared. "Master be gone."

Sirius was startled. "Gone? Where is my son?"

Walburga realized. "He apparated again"

Arcturus grunted. "I told that boy to stop doing that."

Sirius was too worried to respond to the comment. He agreed with his grandsire but he didn't need that right now. Harry had shocked Lily when Harry vanished from his crib a year ago. He had not wanted to take a nap. They had found hims sleeping with Lily's cat in the parlor a few minutes later. Sirius had gone to his mother, the first time he visited since his father died. He had remembered some odd stories and had a feeling it was his blood. Walburga met her grandson for the first time and explained the elf blood.

Kreacher told them. "He say grandpa before go."

Remus was relieved. "We know where."

Sirius pointed out. "Which one?"

Harry seemed to have not been as calmed by his grandmother as one thought. He had stopped crying but he didn't like shouting. It seems he decided it was time to visit a grandpa again. The little boy had not been sure which one. He was reminded Grandpa Fee was not mean, he know sunshine song. But he was also tired and couldn't play yet. And Harry was still a little scared he'd send Harry away. He decided on Grandpa P. Grandpa P say he finish the fox story soon. Harry went to him.

Pollux had needed some air and found himself out in the stables. They were not as fine as his own but Lucius had some nice horses. The man bred as well as his personal horses. He also had some cats and dogs.

He was looking at some cats nesting in the hay. "Maybe should give the boy one instead of that demon."

He was shocked by a pop and a little voice. "Grandpa."

Pollux stared at the boy. "What are you doing here?"

"Papa and Grandpa fight. I come."

"Didn't take long." Pollux smirked. "What did we say about running away?"

Harry shook his head. "No run way. Come grandpa."

Pollux found himself going into the stall. "You came alone."

Harry explained. "I alone. They yell."

"You can not leave without telling people."

Harry pouted. "Kreak."

"Your elf doesn't count. Humans worry."

Harry bit his lip. "Mad?"

Pollux sighed. "More upset. When your Uncle Cygnus used to do this we never knew where he was."

"Cygy?"

Pollux shocked himself by picking up the boy, and a cat, and sitting on the hay. "Yes your Great Uncle liked cats too."

He found himself telling the boy. Cygnus was the eldest of his three kids and of course heir even with no title. Unlike Alphard he was traditional but softened by his wife and daughters. He had even forgiven Andromeda before he died. Cygnus had shown much of his mother's powers and Irma had taught Pollux some so he could help his son. He wished now he had insisted on meeting Irma's elf family. Her mother died giving birth, and she was raised by her witch stepmother who was the mother of the current Crabbe line. His wife had met her clan as a child but not since school. Pollux had no idea how to find them.

He found himself telling the boy about Cygnus and his powers. He realized if anyone could teach the boy it was him. Unlike his daughter and grandchildren he didn't have elf blood. But besides his granddaughter, none had trained their powers.

Harry smiled as he listened and he looked at the cat. "He kitty too?"

Pollux nodded. "Even as an adult he had a house with a few."

Harry snuggled the cat. "I like."

Pollux watched. "Better choice then the demon but I doubt your father would agree."

A voice called from the door. "Who is absconding with one of my cats?"

Harry cocked his head to look at newcomer. "My kitty."

The man stared. "Your cat? Presumptuous are you?"

"Grandpa give."

Pollux looked at Lucius. He knew Lucius knew of the boy thanks to Severus. "It seems I may have."

Lucius broke into a smile. "It is a good thing you did not choose the orange one. I believe my wife has laid claim."

Harry shook his head. "Like Tig."

Pollux was confused. "Tig?"

Sirius' voice came from behind Lucius. "His foster mother's cat."

Harry showed his Papa the cat. "My kitty."

Sirius glared. "My grandfather's demon was bad enough. Now a second cat?"

Arcturus was with him. "Maybe I can have my cat back."

Harry shook his head. "Zar like. Friend."

Sirius and Arcturus highly doubted that but said nothing. Arcturus was not sure what had taken over his cat but a new cat would change that. He doubted Zar would like a new cat and would vanish back to his usual self. He thought maybe it a good thing as Zar was old and the boy might be upset when the old bugger died. It would make the boy unbearable. The boy would be the only one to mourn the flea bag.

Sirius looked at Lucius and was not shocked he knew. He and Severus were all but brothers and had little secrets. Not even Narcissa knew about it though. For now they had been uncertain but the whole family would know.

Sirius scooped up his son. "What did grandsire tell you about popping? I believe daddy and I did too."

Harry pouted a bit. "You yell."

"Sometimes adults yell. You can't leave."

Harry looked at Pollux. "No go. See Grandpa."

Sirius didn't let him off. "You left the house without telling anyone."

"Kreak." Harry countered.

"Your elf doesn't count and he didn't know which. I went to your other grandfather."

Pollux smirked. "The boy was terrified of him."

Sirius ground his teeth. "Better a Potter."

Harry cut in. "He bore too tire. Grandpa P tell stor. Cygy."

Sirius looked at the man. "Cygnus?"

"It seems they have something in common."

Sirius went to take his son. Not happy, but the cat with him. "We are going home."

Pollux called. "The boy needs to learn."

Sirius glared. "He is a baby. And from you?"

"He will only get stronger. And with your grandmother dead I am the best you have."

Sirius glared. "I can teach my son. Or Fleamont."

"You never learned your minor elf side. And Fleamont can teach him his empath side but not elf."

"How?"

"The Gryffindors were empaths, not news. Rumored elementals. From his elf traits rearing it seems more then rumors."

Sirius might not like the man but he knew he had a point. He was right, they were empaths and were fire elements. The elemental side was rarer though and only showed every once in a while. The last was Henry, James' grandfather who Harry was named for. Harry may not be an elemental, it may be his empath side bringing out the elf in him. Either way Sirius was big enough to know his son needed to learn. And he reluctantly agreed that Pollux was the one who could work with his son.

He looked at Harry though. "But you will be brought. No more popping alone. Do you hear me?"

Harry nodded. "Yes Papa."

Harry and the cat were happily at the house and Arcturus were shocked when Zar did not seem to have an issue with the new cat. He had permitted the kitten to crawl on him and did nothing. The little black and white cat did look a lot like Tigger, Lily's cat. Maybe the muggle born in her she never took to owls and Tigger was her familiar. The cat had died not long after they went on the run. He had been older and the stress of the move was a lot. Harry had been devastated. Uncle Moony had stayed a few days, usually in cat form, to comfort him. It was why Harry was attached to both Zar and the kitten. He named his new cat Foey. Sirius knew he meant Fox. It was not fitting as foxes were canines and red, this looked more Siberian tiger. But he named it for Grandpa.

Sirius watched his son sleep the next morning and was simply relieved to be there. He wold convince his son dogs were better but for now he let it drop. His son was sleeping with three cats, as he had his stuffed cat from Remus too.

Remus came to his side. "I am shocked you let him have it."

Sirius sighed. "I will make him a dog man. But after Tigger…"

Remus put a hand on him."You know Padfoot is always his favorite."

Sirius pointed at the bed. "Seems he has gone all feline. Even Moony was finally replaced.'

Remus shrugged. "Progress."

"More cats is not progress."

Remus let it drop. "The others are waiting for breakfast."

Sirius knew Kreacher would bring Harry when he woke. "May ruin my appetite."

Remus sighed. "I thought we agreed to try."

Sirius grunted. "I am here."

Remus directed him downstairs. "Food."

Sirius grumbled. "Feels like detention."

"Not potions class?"

"Not that bad." Sirius admitted.

Remus laughed. "See progress already."

Remus knew he was not happy about Pollux. He had hated the man his entire childhood. He had no good memories unlike Arcturus. But he could be big enough to admit that Harry needed to learn about his magic and for now that meant Pollux. But he had spoken to his grandsire about seeing if they could track down Irma's clan. It was not a simple matter as they were foreign and Irma's mother had hid what she was. The other Crabbes were descended from her half brothers and had no connection. But if they could find Irma's relatives or other elves who may be able to help it would be better. Lucius had promised to help.

His mother and grandfather were indeed in the kitchen when they came down. He was surprised as he never thought to see the old man eat any where but the dining room. It seems a bit had changed with time.

The man eyed him. "The boy?"

"My son is still asleep."

Walburga motioned. "We can speak easier."

Sirius sunk down. "What small talk today?"

Arcturus didn't find him funny. "This ridiculous idea about elves."

Sirius reminded him. "He needs to learn."

"You were fine and Pollux can teach him."

"Pollux has no elf blood, he has limits. And unlike my son I wasn't also an elemental."

Walburga agreed. "The girl is the worst before now and hair color or nose changing is not a worry."

"He is simply apparating and he promised to stop."

Sirius smirked. "He already broke that. And powers will grow."

"This should stay in the family."

Walburga reminded him. "Even on the Black side he is not all you. He is my line as well. The elves are his kin."

"You have never even met them. We can not trust strangers." Arcturus barked.

"Because my father didn't know. But elves are noble. They would mean no harm."

Elves were like centaurs, very noble and held to old laws. One of the reasons they fled the UK was their peaceful side put them in danger because of their powers. They fought but didn't want to live in fear and left. Walburga had never been told how her grandfather ended up married to one. But she saw no harm in finding out. It seemed it could help Harry. Like Sirius her only priority in this was what was best for her grandson.

Kreacher appeared distraught. "He gone."

Sirius stared at the elf "My son is gone?"

Walburga looked at Arcturus. "His promise lasted a day."

Kreacher stopped her. "He no pop."

Sirius was confused. "What do you mean? Its the only way he could go."

"I use charm so know if Master pop. He no pop."

Sirius shot up and headed for the stairs. "Where is he?"

Remus tried to remind him. "He is here somewhere. Maybe looking for you."

Sirius looked at the bed and found his toys. "They are all here."

Walburga understood. "He'd take one."

Remus noticed something. "Zar? Where is he?"

Arcturus appeared. "No one set off the alarms."

Sirius smirked. "We would have heard."

Arcturus shook his head. "Due to your guest I set new. They would record anyone who came in even with permission."

Remus was reminded the man had been angry he came in. "But someone must have."

Harry was not in the house any where and he had not popped. Someone had to have taken him. But who? And how did they get in the house without setting off the new wards? None of Albus' stooges could have pulled it off and he wouldn't have come himself. They were desperate to find out what had happened and Arcturus went into action. Pollux accompanied by Lucius arrived. They were further shocked when a weak Fleamont came with Severus. Moody as well. He was shocked his grandfather called Fleamont.

Sirius was pacing in anger and pain. "We need to find him. We need to find my son."

AN: So Pollux is going to help train Harry, Fleamont likely too. Harry is an empath and possible elemental from Gryffindor blood.

But where is Harry? Who took him and how did they get in and out?

Since I had a question here are relations: (Its almost all cannon so only read if need brush up)

Blacks:

1. Henry James Orion Black-Potter: son of Sirius Orion Black and James William Potter (beloved foster son of Lily Evans-Potter)

2. Sirius Orion Black: son of Orion Black and and Walburga Black-Black.

3. Orion Black:father of Sirius and the late Regulus. He died before Harry was born (by months).

4. Lord Arcturus Black: the first grump of the title. Father of Orion and Lucretia Prewett (married Ignatius Prewett, family but not dad of Molly). He is a grandson of old headmaster Phineas Nigellus whose portrait is in the books.

5. Walburga Black-Black: daughter of Pollux Black and the revealed half elf Irma Crabbe

6. Pollux Black: grandson of Phinease through his third son Cygnus, making him and Arcturus first cousins. He is the father of Walburga but also Alphard and Cygnus. Both men dead by the books but play a role. Since Irma died he has lived with his granddaughter Narcissa at Malfor Manor.

7. Cygnus Black: Walburga's eldest brother. Father of Andromeda Tonks, Narcissa Malfoy (Draco's mom) and Bellatrix Lestrange

8. Tonks: everyone's favorite auror. Gets special mention as said her metamorphmagus is linked to elf. She was in Charlie's school year so at this stage is the ripe age of 9.

9. Alphard: got mentioned in books as he left Sirius his money (his vindictive sister removed him from tree for it). Walburga's second brother.

10. Dorea: will mention more later but the much younger sister of Pollux.

Potters:

1. Henry James Orion

2. James William: son of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter (names were listed on Pottermore)

3. Lord Fleamont Potter: son of Henry Potter and unnamed witch. A descendant of Gryffindor (empath/elemental blood causing Harry's very diluted elven blood to flare up). His name comes from the fact his grandmother was the last of House Fleamont.

4. Lord Henry: his great-grandson is named for him, but goes by Harry. The Potters are excluded from sacred 28 as Henry was out spoken pro-muggle supporter. He is the father of Fleamont and Charlus.

5. Charlus Potter: some wrongly believed him to be James' father, debunked but never explained relation. I made him Fleamont's brother. He married Dorea Black (mentioned above). Uncle to both Sirius (by marriage) and James. Said earlier Sirius spent a few years living with his Aunt and Uncle before school (fostering was common among nobles in history) how he became so close to James. Couple had a son but he died young.

Lupins:

1. Remus John Lupin: Harry's actual godfather (as Sirius is Papa). Son of Lyall Lupin and muggle Hope Howell.

2. Lyall Lupin: expert in bogarts, ghosts and such. Lyall caused the attack on his son. He outed Fenrir as a werewolf (not registered) during an investigation. In return Fenrir attacked Remus. Lyall saved Remus' life but not before he was bitten.

3. John Figg: Non-Cannon. Wizard husband of Arabella Figg, Harry's squib neighbor. As I wrote, friends and colleagues of Lyall. Remus' middle name is in honor of him. As godparents are private Albus not aware of Remus' link to Arabella.
