Ok , I don't know what I was thinking In my head Penny Clearwater was a 7th year. So for this story she is entering 7th year making her 17 years old. Not sure if any warnings need added since everything is implied but if anyone thinks so I'll add one. I do not plan to get explicit at anytime in this story. No lemons

Chapter 8

Sirius barked a laugh all the while keeping an eye on his prey. Penny Clearwater wasn't the most fit bird but pretty had grown boring a long time ago. What he liked was the chase the harder to get the better. Penny was a rule follower she did everything by the book to get in her knickers for a quick tumble would take some work but Sirious was loving every second.

A quick movement caught his eye when he turned to see who it it was his heart stopped for a second. A little boy with Jamie's hair not the same color but Jamie's wild Potter unmanageable locks stood stoically staring back at him with Lilly's eyes.

"Harry "he breathed

Looking closer he noticed the sharp features and high cheek bones neither matching the little round cherub face he remembered foundly. OK not Harry he thought and his heart began to beat again.

This most be the boy Penny was talking about earlier. He quickly came up with away to have a closer inspection of the boy and more time to untwist Clearwater's bloomers.

"Ahhh my dear Miss Clearwater it looks like your charge has come to join us." He said loudly.

The boy didn't even flinch just casually walked towards him wearing a perfect pureblood smile. If this boy was a muggleborn he'd kiss Snivellus.

" oh Hadrian I'm sorry I did not see you there" Penny said quickly standing up preparing to come around the table towards him.

Sirious had to work not to laugh his prim and prissy Penny was more disheveled than he ever seen her. Oh he bet she was going to be a wild one in bed the quite ones always were.

With a smerk that screamed Slytherin the boy replied " No problem at all Penny I just now arrived. "

Sirious was sure the boy was picking on Penny's use of his first name which was confirmed when she turned a unattractive shade of red .

This helped prove a theory Sirious has had for a long time Slytherin's were born not raised because it was quite obvious what house this orphaned boy who had been raised by muggles belonged.

"No need to get up my dear " Sirious said giving the girl a wink. He patted the chair beside him for the young boy to sit all the while trying his best to remain in this reality.

It's not Harry , it's not Harry he said over and over in his mind.

He lived closely to the edge on his best days but the boys hair and eyes had him only holding on by a thread.

Taking his wand he tapped the boys plate "fish and chips"

You'll like this pup . No need to go full wizard on your first meal.

The boys eyes widened slightly in surprise when the food suddenly appeared on his plate . For someone who was just introduced to magic he was doing extraordinary well most walked around with wide dazed eyes and a slack mouth for at least a week.

"So this is a muggle dish ?" He asked Sirius with a frown that seemed to contradict the obvious hunger in his eyes.

Thank Merlin he was born a Griffindor not once has he had a internal debate on wither eating a certain food would benifit or hinder his social standing but since he was raised by them he knew what the boy was thinking.

Keeping a straight face "If you'd prefer I could alway order you manticore stones they are 100% wizard "

The table went completely quite as they all held there breath waiting for the new comers answer.

He barely missed a beat before answering "No this will do fine thank you."

Sirius sighed in disappointment but knew the gig was up as soon as everyone grew quite this one was way to smart for these amateurs.

James, lilly, Harry , James.

The boy still sat there not touching his plate slowly looking around the room. After a couple minutes it he seemed to give up on whatever he was looking for. "You said something earlier about thanking magic before and after my meal?" He said to Penny a bit sharp showing his displeasure at having to ask.

Again bright red Penny quickly turned her eyes from Sirius taking a visual breath to pull herself together " thank you for the reminder Mr. Cross. At every meal we thank magic by first giving her 1/4 of our meal. Picking the best most wanted parts and placing them on the offering plate." She pointed to a small golden plate to the left above his lunch plate.

Say as you place the food "Salve, Magia mater!, Accipe hoc sacrificium factum meo artificio de tua auxilia beata." It translates to Greetings, Mother Magic!, Accept this offering, made by my own handiwork with your blessed help.

Don't worry I will repeat it with you this time and others will help until you have it memorized. "

A look of disdain flashed across his face "No need I'm sure I'll be able to do it on my own."

Then he methodically separated 1/4 of his meal repeating the Latin prey with complete accuracy while placing it on his offering plate.

"Whoa are you sure he's a muggleborn Penny? He sounded just like the pureblood snobs at school." Said a frumpy blonde girl who was sitting a few seats awaay from Penny

"You don't say Miss Brackett " Sirius said in his best pureblood voice.

The color quickly drained from her face "I'm sorry professor, I didn't mean you or ah your family. "

Sirius laughed loudly " I'm sure, snobby was a very nice description of most of the purebloods my family included . There are alot worse words I would use to describe them." He said with a wink to let her know he wasn't offended in the least.

"Well of course there is a chance he is a halfblood but the statistics show that 95% of magical children found outside of the wizarding community are Newbloods. So the chances are slim and it's not like being a halfblood would make him do that." Penny said pointing to Hadrian's offering plate.

The boy began to eat his meal without giving any acknowledgement to their shock or questions.

"Penny's right blood has nothing to do with it that was all brains there " Sirius said finally giving in and rubbing James's no the boys head. " Not James not James he repeated over and over to himself.

The boy stiffened he made no move to pull away but the taste of his magic screamed back off.

"sorry about that pup I couldn't resist your hair was asking for it." Sirius smiled and began to remove his hand when it brushed the boys bangs Sirious lost his breath . He was frozen in shock , James , Lily, Harry, scar,black.

" my hair asked to be attacked? " Hadrian asked looking up at him with a ineffective smirk since his magic was still screaming discomfort.

This snapped Sirious back to the present he removed his hand "Yes it did" he confirmed laughing loudly covering his disquiet and confusion.

"I don't know about statistics Penny but I'd put money on him being at least a halfblood" Brackett said bringing the conversation back to Hadrian's blood status.

"Don't give him false hope Clair it really isn't probable. " Penny said chidingly

"I'm going to have to agree with Clairabell "Sirius said seriously " I would be shocked if he ends up a muggleborn "

"What makes you so sure sir" the boy asked witha a honest look of intrest Sirious was sure it his was his first real expression since they met.

"Penny how many scars do you have? "

"None " she responded

"You never cut yourself or had any bad injuries? "

"Well yes , I once fell and needed 12 stitches on my knee."

"Ah yes I heard about those stitches that's where the muggles take a needle and string and sew you up ." He said with a look of disbelief. He could remember the first time Lily told him about it . He refused to believe her until she took him to a library and showed him pictures out of one of those muggle medical books. Lilly, James, Harry, Scar, scar.

"And do stitches normally scar? " he asked her.

"Yes , they do" she said slowly "but a couple weeks after I got them they and the injury just disappeared. "

A couple teenagers around the table nodded along in agreement.

"Does anyone have a scar?" Sirius asked looking at each teenager at the table.

They were all quite and obviously thinking but one by one they each shook there head confirming they did not have one.

"And that right there is why I'm guessing he isn't muggleborn. Magical's do not scar from physical means. Even if you lost a limb after a month or so it would just look like you were born without one. The skin would heel perfectly.

To scar a wizard it takes magic and lots of it."

"Well couldn't he have just accidentally came in contact with a wizard or been hit with a stray curse?" Asked one of the girls who was now staring at the boys scar intently.

Ravenclaw's Sirius thought "Penny statistics "

"Uhh I don't know any numbers but I'm guessing it's even less likely than him being a halfblood. Since a strong amount magic being preformed on or around a muggle habitat would alert the ministry and would have been investigated " she theorized looking at Sirius for approval.

He hummed in agreement.

That look was his absolute favorite. The thought of her on her knees looking up at him with that expression

Sirius was slipping he could feel it. James, Lilly, Harry, knees, scar, cousin, naked, cissy, his thoughts just kept coming faster and faster getting more confusing. He could see Jame- Harry no the boy looking at him thoughtfully.

"Well I best get going. It was very nice meeting you "he said to the boy "and I'll see you soon Miss Clearwater " he promised he then stood and quickly left the table.

As soon as he was past the gate he apparated to grimmauld place .

"Hello Sirius " Regulas greeted him in the hallway.

"James, lilly, Harry , scar, knees, school, cissy , owl black black black." He responded

Regulas nodded and continued on his way "I'll see you later Sirius "

In his room he yelled "kreacher"

Pop "what can kreacher do for mistresses horrible son"

He breathed slowly just a couple more minutes and then he could let go.

Kreacher send a note to Narcisa saying "there is a new child at the orphanage. She should be the one to do his medical exam not Snivellus . He is the one with the scar, scar, scar , James , Lilly, harry, knees,.

Is that all kreacher can do for masters unworthy brother.

"Yes"

Pop kreacher was gone .

They are all gone gone gone gone
