Hello guys, we finally got to the family reunion, and I went a little crazy here. I have no idea where half of this ideas came from, but I just went with them.

All characters belong to J.K Rowling.

They all sat straight and leaned forward— "I'm going, to be honest with you, I never believed I would be back here. The last time I was like this, surrounded by family it was the day my mother tried to force the dark mark on me."—Sirius unbuttoned his robes and crossed his legs on the knee. — "That was a hell of a week, beatings, curses, starvation. I left this house promising I would never set foot on it until everyone one of them were dead."—he gestured with his hand—"And they are, thank Merlin for that"

Lucretia gasp. He ignored her— "I admired Arcturus but he let this family down, he chose to stay neutral on the war, he chose to hide while this family killed each other."

Cordelia and Cedrella agreed with him. Many things would have been different if the head of the family had stopped those who joined Voldemort.

Sirius pointed his wand at the wall behind Remus. The family tapestry started to appear—"The Black Family used to be feared, respected for the wrong reasons perhaps, but also we were involved in everything, from healing procedures, politics to the Arts. Invited to the ICW reunions and the Balls in Vienna and look where we are now. Look at those names… Dead, banished, Azkaban… it's in embarrassment."

Remus sipped his tea gauging everyone's reaction. Andy kept staring at the tapestry. Ted was a little on edge, he could feel the magic surrounding all of them and it was rather cold. The rest kept quiet, glancing at each other. Sirius continued.

– "We are starting simple, from now on the Black family is in the grey. We aren't a Dark family"—He said looking at Lucius who had walked up to Narcissa and had a firm hand on her shoulder. – "And we are not a light family, we don't submit to Dumbledore's advice unless we ask for it"—he said pointily at Arthur and Molly— "ill trade in the Law but I'll kill anyone that gets in my way."

Molly looked at her husband who tighten his hold, she silently gave him a startled look that said…what are we doing here? Cordelia was frowning. Cassie cleared her throat. —"What do you want us to do?"

"Help me restore this family name to what it was known and feared. Let's start with clearing the air…Lucius"

Narcissa turned to look at her husband who took a defensive stand.

"My dear Lord Malfoy here is a death eater, that bullshit of the Imperius curse is that, Bullshit."

Lucius sneered—"Watch it Black, the ministry…"

"Is full of idiots and in your pocket"—Remus said while Lucius went for his wand. Sirius rolled his eyes when Lucius fell to his knees. Narcissa stood up with a choked scream, to help her husband.

"Lucius, really? Master of your own home and you dared to raise your wand in mine?"

"Sirius, loosen the wards he's turning purple"—Narcissa told him.

Sirius rolled his eyes—"Lucius Malfoy took his father's place in Voldemort's inner circle. There's a dark mark on his left arm, I'm sure there are a few murders in your hands. The only reason you're not dead is that my research said you were his Bank. You are one the lesser evils he had."

Lucius stood up trying to righten his clothes. – "You expect my submission?" –he tried to mock.

"For the moment, your cooperation. I don't trust you, Lucius. I don't trust that in a moment's distraction, you wouldn't kill Harry"—

Everyone gasped.

"Sirius! How can you say such a thing?"—Narcissa said completely shocked

"Frank and Alice Longbottom were tortured into insanity for the defeat of Voldemort by your sister"—He reminded her.

Narcissa's eyes widened and Callidora stood up. Everyone was shocked and discomfort was felt around the room.

"Do I believe your husband would murder the said hero of the war for Voldemort...yes."

"The Dark Lord is dead"—Narcissa stated.

"Is he?"—Remus said looking at Lucius who was fighting with his robes, out of breath.

Lucius shook his head— "I don't know, the Dark Lord knew magic I can't even comprehend. Do I believe he's dead, no…"—he said in a warning to Sirius. Everyone expected him to continue but he shrugged. Narcisa hid her face between her hands.

Callidora already on her feet went to serve herself a drink. Cassie made a noise of disbelief. – "So, what are we supposed to do, sit back down and expect the worst…again?"

"That's where we come in"—Sirius said—"Let's continue shall we, Lucius sit, you look pale"— Lucius sat next to his wife, and he looked back at her. When they agreed to this meeting, they weren't expecting this. They had clearly underestimated Sirius, and they had no idea what his intentions were.

Remus said— "Narcissa we will give you this option. If you ever wish, you can divorce Lucius and the house of Black will protect you, but you will have to renounce the Malfoy name and so will your son until he comes of age, if for now, you wish to remain married make sure he remains in line."— Lucius practically jumped at the wolf's throat but Remus just smirked at him, when the wards pushed Lucius back down.

Sirius kept going— "Lucius isn't the only one in the illegal trade, our dear Aunt Cassiopeia here has some secret muggle brothels around Europe."

"Cassie!"—Cedrella gasped.

"Oh, hush Ella, not everyone can be pure and decent. I had to make a living, my dowry, the one I had to fight Pollux to give me, wasn't going to last me forever. I had no intention of coming back home if we were in a war, especially if it was my family doing the killings. I made a muggle income and a way of disappearing if I had to"—she defended herself, retrieving a cigar from her jacket.

"Is that necessary?"—Molly questioned.

Cassie rolled her eyes. — "Traditional like your mother-in-law I see."

Remus laughed— "A muggle income with some illegal contacts."

"I can't control everything"—she said shrugging. — "I'm well connected. I have powerful muggle friends and noticeable wizarding friends. I suppose that's what you want"—

"Yes, and family bonding"

Cassie gave him the finger.

Sirius turned to Callidora who was leaning into the tapestry. – "Callidora, I know you aren't here because you missed us. You want revenge, and I understand. I wanted revenge and ended up in Azkaban. This family owes you nothing, if you wish to leave you may, but I do wish for your help. We have enemies, not me or you. Harry and Neville, those who endanger them are still out there."

Callidora looked around the room as she gulped her fire whiskey. — "I'll stay…for now."

Sirius turned to Cedrella— "You were banished for Love, thrown out by Great Grandfather Sirius before he died and forgotten by everyone else and yet they are gone, and you are still here."

"I've learned to survive."

"I'm sure and that is why you were all invited. The Black name needs to resurface and needs to be spread around Europe as it used to and that's exactly what we're going to do."

"So, what are you saying?"— Callidora spoke up—"You're going to burn bridges and create new ones. Do you have any idea how many people are waiting for your alliance?"

"I go in my own direction, always had. I don't want to restore this family because I wish to, If it was just me I would let the name die. But it's Harry, I need the Black family powerful so that I can keep the Potter family alive. I owe it to Dorea Potter. Your sister, your cousin"—He pointed at the older witches.

Cassie looks striking— "Arcturus didn't even show up to her funeral. He used to call her, Cousin Dory, I hope Dorea told him to shove it when they saw each other again."

"What did you expect My father to do?"— Lucretia accused. —"He was sick, he died from the same disease that took Dorea"

"Your father was a fucking coward child!"— Cassie spat at her. — "He was head of this family and he lacked the courage to control Pollux and the crazy bitch of a sister of those two."

Lucius holds on to his wife who was shaking, and Andy kept her head up.

"Well, now that we are all on the same page. I'm going to tell you my plans and you are all going to agree."

"What if we don't want to Black, we have our own agendas."—Lucius sneered.

"Your agenda is now mine Lucius, you don't have an option. Your name might be important now but you married into this family, and the money in your investment came from our vaults. So, unless you want memories of you participating in Death eaters raids and dueling Aurors being shown in the Wizengamot, do sit down and be quiet."

"We all have regrets…"—Lucius started, and everyone looked incredulous that he was even trying.

"Of course we do, mine is not taking my brother with me, were you there when he died?"—Sirius asked him angrily and that shut Lucius up.

Narcissa shook her head. — "Your mother didn't inform us of his disappearance until a week after, when we came to speak with her, the elf told us he no longer felt Master Regulus"

"He was 17 years old, Narcissa."

"I know how old he was, I was there"—she said angrily.

"And I wasn't. There's not a single day I don't think of him, this family has lived a lot of pain and most of it was caused by its own blood."—he said looking at Callidora.

"What is your planned child?"— She asked him.

"My plan is to have each one of you taking charge of something in the family. Andromeda has already accepted."

Lucretia looked offended—"You have planned this with her, and yet you couldn't even invite us for lunch?"

"Andromeda is the only one that knows what I'm doing because she's the only decent one of all of you. None of you were there the day of my trial, none of you decided to put in a good word, and none of you sent me wishes of recovery before I took the ring, so please save me the emotional act. Andromeda will be the Lady of the house until I Marry."

Narcissa gave a sharp look to her sister and Lucretia narrowed her eyes.

Everyone turned to look at Remus when he summoned a few folders, he cleared his throat and passed a folder to Andy—"Andromeda, Gringotts gave us green light, now you have access to your family vault, and the main vaults. Sirius has given you a penthouse in New York for your marriage as its custom and"—he said turning to look at everyone –"She will be the representative of Lord Black in certain official duties and Ted will host on Sirius's behalf when he can't"

Lucius looked murderess, Remus continued—"Their daughter will now be recognized as a daughter of the house and will now be known as Nymphadora Black Tonks"

Cedrella got his attention, but she looked directly at Andy.—"She's twelve, does that mean she will accept betrothed contracts when you ran away from them?"

"No. It has already been discussed that my daughter will accept study dates for those contracts, and they will be denied. Dora will marry whoever she wants."

"Arthur, Cedrella"—Sirius turned to the wizard— "You're here because I have a preposition"

Molly held on to her husband and Cedrella gave discreet approval.

"I know the Weasleys have a debt of Honor, Cedrella you are currently living in Ireland in a small cottage with a sick husband and a small sheep farm. Arthur, you have nine mouths to feed, I know you're not desperate but you're struggling, and I know you still have many years to pay."

Cedrella looked at Sirius with suspicion, she hadn't realized how much the boy knew of everyone. Arthur nodded. — "I still have 250,000 galleons to pay."

"I know life is getting harder, your job is not appreciated and people like Lucius here and those who got out of Azkaban are making your life impossible. Cedrella you will be reinstated into the family, you will be given a 4-bedroom cottage and 10 acres of land."—Remus passed her a folder.

"You can work it, make your farm bigger or not. Also, your husband will be given the best treatment we can buy. You're the oldest in this room, when Andy can't host you will take her role. You will help anyone else that requires it. Arthur, I offer to pay your debt and start the paperwork to give you back your Lordship, it's not easy and it might take a few months but it will be yours, as well as your family vaults and home, that currently is sitting abandoned in the muggle market."

Remus passed him a folder and continued the explanation—"You will become a friend of the house of Black as well as family, you will declare your alliance to us. Your children will wear your house sigil and will start training to take over the Lordships. We are offering a change of life, your children won't have to go to school in secondhand clothes or books, family holidays around the world, Molly can work and assist in organizations like every other wife of a noble house and great job opportunities for your kids once graduate."

Everyone was quiet, they knew it was huge offer for the Weasleys. Sirius moved on to his Aunt Cassie. —"Your right, I do want your contacts and your friends but I also need someone that takes care of the family business in Italy, Monaco, and Austria. Those business deals have been paused and are slowly fading, they bring too much money for me to allow that."

"What do I get in exchange?"

"Whatever you want. My signature for an association, money for investment, you will have access to the family vault and get the apartment we have in Monaco. Pollux didn't give you your family heirlooms, you get those back and you can start using the family name again. You will host me or Remus whenever we need you to."

Sirius turned to Callidora—"The house of Black will give a public apology to house Longbottom for what happened to Frank and Alice. I know you said Augusta won't talk to us, but I want to give everything that belonged to Bellatrix as a Black to Neville."

Narcissa gasped and Callidora accepted the folder from Remus—"That's a couple of thousands of hundreds and two houses. We are also offering to pay for the treatment of Frank and Alice for life and if Augusta allows it, look for help in the muggle world."

Callidora looked up, her hands had a small tremor. – "I'll give this to Augusta, Frank was my grandson and I loved him but he was her only son."

"We understand. We are offering you a pension and we have business deals in Belgium, Netherlands as a few in Germany that need to be visited, warehouses, and new muggle investments we did. Your father also had a house in Barcelona though it's abandoned and will need repairs it's yours now."

"Now, Narcissa Lucius, I need someone to take charge of the purebloods. I need Lucius to take over some investment I don't want my good name to be involved in"—

"Are we going to trust a death eater?"

Lucius glared at Cassie— "You want to talk about sins?"

Sirius holds up his hand.—We're going to trust Narcissa, she will be in charge of the wives in pureblood society and help Andromeda get reacquaintance, and re-introduce all of you. Molly and Cedrella will oversee light families and Callidora and Cassie will introduce us to some new friends. Lucius will stay in charge of his death-eater friends and our illegal investments as he has more experience in the shadows or am I wrong Lucy?"

Lucius looked at the papers in the folder— "I can do as I please?"

"You can do as you see fit"—Remus answered—"That investment handle correctly can give you enough money for your own vaults, that will be Narcissa's part in the family business, If you ruin it, you will be screwing over your wife."

"I will always have my wife's back."—Lucius said, eyes still on the files.

"See, he knows his place. You will also be getting a cottage that belonged to Bella, given to her by the Lestrange as a wedding gift, it's in Canada."

Sirius looked at Remus, they left the best one for last, both men turned to Lucretia, she realized the remaining folders were about her and pressed her lips, and prepared herself a drink.

-"Madam Prewett, I know you are a very private person and I'm truly sorry for outing you in this manner, but our most lucrative investment is in France, and we need someone to take care of it since it needs to be constantly supervised, unfortunately, is in the greyish kind of area and we need your husband for that. But Ignatius is a loose cannon, and he needs to be controlled"—

Remus got out a few pictures and pass them to her, she already had an idea of what they were, and she spoke— "I'm afraid, my husband and I have been living separate lives for a few years now."

"We know"—Sirius said making her look at him— "Your husband has become wild, and he has something that belongs to someone else, and I want it."

"What is that?"

"The Prewett Lordship"

Molly turned to look at Sirius, she felt anger coursing through her, for years she had thought of what to say to her uncle that left her in ruins, Sirius felt her gaze and he gave her a smile.

"The Prewett Lordship is patrilineal, Molly couldn't have…"

"But he didn't have to steal from me."— Molly said defensively—"He took my dowry, my family heirlooms, my home. He already had his own family home. My childhood home is falling apart, he doesn't even use it. My brothers weren't even buried when he was banishing me from my family."

"I don't control your uncle's child. The man does as he pleases, he vanished his own son for being a squib, and wished him his own death you were nothing to him."

"I wonder if he used Molly's dowry for his own daughters." –Remus pointed at the pictures in her lap and threw a few more at the table in the middle.

"What?"— Molly turned to him in question.

Callidora look at Lucretia. —"I had the belief you didn't have…"

"You let him have bastards?"—Cassiopeia raged— "I would have cut his…"

"Cassie!"—Cedrella shush her. She was looking at the pictures of three girls, two a lot younger than the people in the room.

Lucius leaned forward to look at them. Narcissa stared back at Lucretia in pity.

Molly grabbed one of the pictures. She showed it to Arthur. —"His bastard daughter is wearing my grandmother's pearl earrings. I was only allowed to keep the necklace."—

Lucretia closed her eyes, she turned to Sirius with venom. —"Do you think I married for love? I married to leave. After many tries, I couldn't conceive, he got tired of waiting"—She gulped her fire whisky— "Pity for him, two are squibs and one I believe started Beauxbatons last year, the older already gave him grandkids, girls too, and no magic."

Lucius was looking at one of the pictures his wife had in her hand, Narcissa kept looking up at him with a frown and he knew he would be questioned tonight for any type of illicit behavior on his business trips. –"Magic always knows, the Prewett line wants to come back to its rightful owners, one of the oldest Weasleys would take the Lordship eventually"

Lucretia said nothing but gave Lucius a nasty side-eye look. –"What are you gaining from embarrassing me?"

"Nothing. I take no pleasure in this aunt, I really don't, I know you won't break the marriage bonds and I can't kill Ignatius right now, it will bring up too many questions, so I will give you power."

"I know nothing of business, I'm a painter. Ignatius is a commanding figure with the French Lords, well with those who believe they still have titles."

"That's why we're giving him a bone, a part of the business is not entirely legal and that is the part he will take over. You will become a patron of some museums and art galleries we have invested in, showing up to a few galas, soirees, and garden parties. The Black name will be spoken about and one day you will throw a party for your lovely nephew and the rest of your family."—Sirius gave a pointed look at Remus.

"That's social suicide. I know he's your friend, but he is a werewolf a half-breed."

"We know people hate my kind; you could barely give me your hand. But no one will say anything about me because, while you are disgusted, the civilized pureblood society including your husband has no problem fucking half breeds"—Remus passed a few more pictures around, and Cassiopeia quickly grabbed them—"What is this?"

"Lord Prewett walks into an establishment of doubtful morality, where the wizarding society can satisfy their primal needs. From witches, wizards, and muggles to Velas, Harpies, Mer-people, Goblins, Werewolves, centaurs, elves, and many more things…"

"Is this a profitable business?"

"For heaven's sake, Cassiopeia you can't possibly be considering entering this type of establishment."

"Of course not, I mean not with all those things, who the hell is fucking Centaurs."

"Who's fucking elves?"— Ted said perplexed— "Do you have more incriminated photographs?"—

"Eww, I don't want to see that"—

Sirius chuckled—"Oh we have those too"—Lucretia looked up, resigned. Her husband had done a mockery of himself and was slowly pulling her down with him.

-"We have pictures of him going in, out, leaving with women and doing other stuff inside…one day he will anger the wrong person, and all of this will come out."

Lucretia threw the photographs back at the table. Remus gather all of them, and he gave them to her. –"These are for you, you can do whatever you want with them, show them to him if you wish. You will get the Dowry your father didn't give you…"

Narcissa asked surprised—"you were denied a Dowry?"

"My father never liked Ignatius but I refused to marry Selwyn so at the moment Ignatius was the best candidate, him or a Flint."

Sirius continued for Remus—"You don't have to use the Prewett name anymore. In case someone else gets hold of this, you'll have the Black name to protect you, we are giving you the Chateau Nuits-Saint-Georges, it's yours to host whoever you want, you can remodel it using the Black vaults, but you will host all of us. You will also receive house elves, that have bond with the Black family, so you wont have to worry about Disloyalty from your servants."

"All this for the Prewett title?"

"All of this for money and connections. The business brings millions every couple of years and it has been frozen since Arcturus died, you have rich friends and Ignatius has a good connection in the French ministry, and yes the Prewett title, you will tell your husband he needs to come see me. We will discuss his role since I need him to come back to the Wizengamot next year. Look around dear, how many Lordship in alliance do I have already, six."

Remus snickered at the look everyone had on their face. – "The Black, Potter, Malfoy, Weasley, Longbottom, Prewett."

They all realize how well thought all this had been.

"You're giving us more than we are giving you"—Callidora said

"No, you're giving me enough"—Sirius said leaning forward— "I know that I haven't spoken to Augusta yet, but I know she won't refuse me, because ill drag these two"—he signaled at his cousins— "To apologize publicly for their sister, they should have done it long ago. I'm not naïve, I'm aware I'm going to be shunned and criticized but my speech about change is real, or tell me, do you wish for your children to fight in another war?"

Molly swallowed, she really didn't want to be here and it didn't seem they were going to leave anytime soon but she couldn't keep quiet, she felt like everything was spinning—"What war, it's over."

Sirius smiled sadly at her— "No it's not Molly. Dumbledore said it to Remus, Voldemort"—he rolled his eyes when everyone except Remus shuddered. – "Is not gone, he's just waiting, people want to believe it over, but men like him don't just disappear."—He turned to those who had children—"Do you think he won't come for Neville, do you think you children won't join the Order as your brothers did"—Molly shook her head she didn't want to even think about it. He turned to Narcissa.—"Are you going to clap and congratulate your son when he kneels and takes the mark after his first murder"

Narcissa paled and swallowed. She let go of Lucius' hand, they had discussed it multiple times and she cried all of them thinking of her little dragon doing such a thing.

"I have given you options. I really want you by my side, I feel we all can benefit from each other, but I want an answer because those who leave won't get a second chance."—He stood up, Remus did the same and he signaled Andromeda, and Ted to follow him. –"I will share bread with those who stay, there are some rooms for you to discuss it. You have one hour."

I hope you like it, Please Review it and remember I do this with kindness.
