Authors note: Hello loyal followers thank you for the support! I will try to post once a week still but I am starting school so we will see. Let met know what you think! Still trying to figure out pairings for later on!
I do not own Harry Potter that wonderful work belongs to J.K. Rowling. This plot and OCs belong to me. Onward to the story!!!
Black House
Hagrid's P.O.V.
Well it is little Siriuses birthday today. He made me Jupiters godfather along with Remus. I reckon he thinks he owes me for making sure he didn't go after Pettigrew. Anyway I come early every year to see the family before everyone else shows up. I walk right in because I have been allowed into the wards and they don't care much for proper knocking and greetings. Probably reminds Sirius of his parents.
" HAGRID Thank Merlin you are here!" Suddenly the little blonde women Marley is, is hugging well the side of my leg. She looks distraught. I look down at her and ask, "Whas the matter Marley, what got you in a fit?"
She looks up at me and says, "It's Jupiter no one can find her! Sirius and Remus are gathering everyone to start searching for her! They are all in the kitchen!" And breaks down in another round of crying. " WHAT!" I go searching for everyone, in the kitchen I find Sirius and Moody bent over a map on the kitchen table, Remus pacing, Molly sitting at the counter scribbling furiously, and her two youngest sitting in chairs looking nervous.
Remus looks up and locks eyes with me, he walks over and hugs me round me middle. "Hagrid it's all my fault, she toook my wand she could be absolutely anywhere what have I done!" I pat the werewolf on the back, and tell him, "I'm sur it ain't yer fault Remy. She is a crafty little lady! She well be fin Remus."
He nods his head and we walk over and to Alastor and Sirius. I look at them and ask, "Have ye floo-called Dumbledore if anyone can find her it's him!"
They both nod. Moody says, "Yes Hagrid he should be here any moment." At that moment The fire flares up and turns green and in walks Dumbledore in midnight blue robes with yellow moons and stars covering them, along with his matching hat. "Hello Gentleman, from what I know no one has seen Miss Black. No sign of her which may not seem like good news but it likely means no one with bad intentions have seen her either."
Sirius looks up at him with thinly veiled anger, I don't particularly blame him there's a time and place for such optimism however Dumbledore is right and keep calm is the best way to find her. "Sirius, Dumbledores right we need ter stay calm and look fur ittle Jupiter, yer can't go losing yer head or people may take notice." After I say this Sirius calms down like all those years ago. He looks up, "Okay Hagrid your right we need to start a search party among us, I don't trust people to know about her yet. Moody can you and Kings and partner up search places you think she could be, Remus your with me we take Hogsmead, Hagrid can you do Diagonally and knockturn Alley if she is somewhere that public she would be safest with you, Molly let us know what you hear, Marley I love you we will find her I promise, and Dumbledore is there anywhere to look I haven't thought of?"
Right at that moment we hear the front door swing open hit the wall and then slamming shut. Then the little voice we have been worried about calls from the front of the house, "I'm home dad I have your Birthday Present it's amazing!"
Coming through the kitchen door we all see a very happy Jupiter Black with plaster in her hair, ashes on her wrist, bandages on her hands and the biggest smile I have ever seen! We are all shocked and relieved!
Earlier that day
Dursley Home
Harry's P.O.V.
We had just drawn the salt circle, switched, then sat down when Jupiter handed me the piece of paper with strange words. she looks at me and says, " Read this while I get everything prepared we have to chant at the same time but they are slightly different, I have mine memorized. We have to look at eachother when we chant so memorize it."
With that I nod and read over the words while I can hear her shuffling and pulling items out of her strange little wolf bag. When I have it memorized I hear her say, "Let me know when you are ready everything is prepared, once we start we can not stop no matter what. Whenever you are ready."
I look up from my paper on my right there is a bowl of dirt and leaves, in the center is a dagger and on my left there is a bowl of clear water. I nod because well I always nod. I look up at her and say, "I think I am ready it seems like I was always meant to know this and it was easy to remember. I think I understood some of it. I am ready."
She looks up at me again and says in a clinical tone, "Okay, first I am going to set the dirt and leaves on fire, once the fire dies we cover our hands in the ashes left behind, then we cut each of our palms across with the dagger, once we join hands we chant at the same time, when we finish, we purify our hands in the water, then we step out of the circle and it complete. Are you ready?"
I nod at her again this is going to work I feel it. With that she pulled out the strange stick, points it at the bowl of dirt and leaves, and in barely a whisper says, "Incendio." The bowl caught fire and it smelt strange. The earthy smell I expected was there but so was another scent. To me it almost smelled like marshmallows. The bowls fire slowly went out and we looked at each other.
At the same time she and I put our hands in the ashes and coated them in it. As this happened I felt a surge in my will that drove me forward. Behind Jupiter was a wall of flames! It started at the salt and went as far as I could see. When I looked into her eyes they were glowing a pale electric blue. My back felt as if electricity was occasionally lapping at it. It wasn't unpleasant just strange.
My mind told me what to do next she told me we each cut our palms but I know what needs to be done. I pick up the dagger and slice my right hand it stings but I have had worse then I take her left hand because it feels like what I need to do. I slash her palm. She tenses a bit and I feel a bit guilty. Then I hand her the dagger when I see her relax. She took it in her already bloodied hand and slices her uncut right. Then she reaches for my hand palm up and set mine on tops of hers and she slices my left hand.
She set the dagger back in the middle of us and we clasp hands. The fire behind her grows larger the base almost turning blue. I feel the electricity coat my back but it's less shocking more like the feel of an embrace. Comforting. As she begins almost singing I start my own chant, "Patres filiam fratris mei sum ad te quaerere Soror mea. Ad protegere te, et eris tua, et non sit tibi necesse a me. Per sanguinem et ignem particeps. Signa nostra est aqua. Receperint sub tecta referto Potter caput de domo mea soror." ( In English: Daughter of my fathers brother I seek to make you my own sister. To protect you, and be your family, and be there when you need me. Through earth and fire I share with you my blood. Seal to our own again with water. Welcome to house Potter from head of house my sister.)
Once we finished there was a blinding white light as I felt us put our clasped hands in the water. I felt whole, I felt strong, I felt on fire.
A/N: hello everyone I am so sorry for the wait! I have had an extremely hectic few weeks. Thank you for the follows and faves. I will try to post more frequently! Let me know what you think! Next up traveling home and Harry meets everybody!
