A/N: I want to thank everyone for all the continued support for this story. I know that not everyone is gonna like what i write and i got no issue with that. I write what i would wanna read and i do it because i love it. For those that are enjoying this, I am glad you like it. I will not ever abandon a story. with that said sometimes updates might take longer than others, mainly because I am actively striving for longer chapters. My mother is an avid fan-fic reader and she reads this one and she has said that my chaps need to be longer. I understand this and try to make them longer, but sometimes it doesn't end up that way.

Chapter Sixteen
Sirius Black was sitting in a conference room that Gringotts was allowing him to use. He was waiting for his guests to arrive. He had a two stacks of parchments in front of him for this meeting and he was sincerely hoping he would only need one of them. He looked towards the doors when he heard them open and watched as his cousin Narcissa walked in. Narcissa was a statuesque beauty standing five foot six inches with long blonde hair and golden colored eyes. Sirius shook his head.
"You know," Sirius said, "I think you looked better with Your hair black."
"Yes well that loving husband of mine demanded that i changed it and has made me keep it," she replied.
Sirius frowned at that statement.
"Please sit Cissy," he said, "we are waiting for one more person."
No sooner had she sat down the door opened once more and Andromeda Tonks walked in. Andromeda was another beauty. The same height as her sister, but she stiil had her long black hair and her eyes were a violet color.
"Andi," Sirius exclaimed.
"You know I hate being called that," Andromeda huffed but had a small smile on her face, "it's good to see you Sirius."
"Hello sister dear," Narcissa said startling her sister.
After she got over her response she nodded towards Narcissa and sat down.
"Now that we are all here we can get started," Sirius stated.
"Why did you summon us here Sirius," Narcissa asked?
"Family business," Sirius replied.
"What family business," Andromeda asked?
"This is about making changes to the Black Family," Sirius told her.
"Only the head of the family can make changes," Narcissa said, "and that won't happen until my son Draco comes of age."
"That my dear cousin is where you are wrong," Sirius said.
"How so," she asked?
"There is already a head," he said smirking.
Narcissa's eyes widened and Andromeda just raised one eyebrow.
"Who," Narcissa asked after she composed herself.
"Me," Sirius replied with a big smile on his face.
"That's not possible," she responded, "you were disowned. So was Andromeda."
"Actually, I was never officially disowned," Sirius said.
Narcissa's eyes widened and if you looked closely you could see a glimmer of hope flash in her eyes.
"So what do you want with us my Lord?" Andromeda asked.
"I have two stacks of papers here," Sirius said, "I will be using them to make a couple of decisions as head of the family."
Both women were paying close attention now as they both had similar, but different hopes.
"I will start with you Andromeda," he said turning towards her, "how would you like for you and young Nymphadora to once again belong to the Black family?"
"That would make me extremely happy my lord," she replied, her eyes filled with tears.
"That's wonderful," he said grabbing a couple of parchments.
He filled them in and pressed his ring to them and after flashing a bright light they dissapeared.
"Welcome back to the family," he said smiling at her.
She couldn't respond for the tears of joy that ran down her face. He smiled at her and then he turned towards Narcissa.
"You are a little bit trickier Cissy," he told her.
"How so my lord?" she asked
"I have a couple of questions to aske you before I decide what to do," he said.
"Very well," she said.
"Have you ever been a marked death eater?" he asked.
"No my lord," she replied.
"Do you follow the same beliefs as the pure-blood supremicists like your husband?" he asked.
"Yes and no my lord," she said
"Explain," he said looking her in the eyes.
"I have no hatred towards muggles or muggleborns," she said, "my issue is when muggleborns come into our world and act like they can run it without trying to find out anything about our customs."
Sirius pondered this statement for a minute thinking about how Lily had some problems early on.
"I can see that," he said finally.
She nodded her head in acknowledgement.
"Lastly. Are you happy in your marriage?" he asked.
"What do you mean my lord?" she asked.
"Just what I asked," he replied, "are you happily married?"
"Why do you ask my lord?" she asked.
"I have looked over your betrothal contract and found some interesting information in it," he told her.
"Like what my lord?" she asked.
"A clause in it stating that any actions that could be considered damaging or embaressing to the house of Black could see the contract terminated and any bride price returned," he answered.
"How did he do that?" she asked
"By being a marked death eater," he replied.
"He was reported to be under the imperious curse my lord," she told him.
"In that case he is too weak-minded to best serve the family," he said.
After a couple of minutes he leaned forward. "So I ask again. Are you happy in your marriage?"
"No my lord i'm not," she said after a minute, "he is petty and spiteful and is teaching my son to be the same."
"Very well," he said.
He grabbed a couple of parchments and after filling them out he placed his ring to them. Just like before they flashed a bright light and disappeared. He then pulled out his wand and raised it in the air.
"I Sirius Orion Black as head of the house of Black annul the marriage between Lucious Malfoy and Narcissa Black due to breach of contract. I also reclaim the bride price that was paid. So mote it be," he declared.
His wand flashed quickly and he looked at Narcissa with a smile.
"Welcome back to the family," he said.
LUcious Malfoy was sitting at his desk in his study going through some papers about a possible business venture. He was roused from his study of them by a tap at his window. He walked over and let the owl in with promptly stuck his leg out for him to take the message. After he did the owl took off back out the window. He walked back to his desk before opening and readin the missive.
Mr. Malfoy,
We are writing you in regards of your contract with us concerning your vault.
As you are aware the contract states that if ever your vault is empty for more than twenty-four hours it is to be closed.
As of right now, due to the status of your vault, you have twenty-four hours to make a deposit or your vault will be closed.
Bonecrusher
Head of vault management.
After he finished reading he promptly fainted.
Sirius walked though the front door fo #12 Grimmauld Place and had a look of disgust on his face at how the house looked. He walked forward until he came upon a portarit of his mother. His sudden stop made little noise, but it was enough to wake up her portrait.
"Filth. Blood-traitor. You dare return to the Noble house of Black. Kreacher, come remove this trash from my house."
Sirius had no time to react before the oldest looking house elf launched itself towards him. The elf impacted against him, knocking him from his feet. It took a moment for him to realise that the elf didn't move again. After checking he saw that the elf was dead for attacking its master. A moment later his mother's portrait fell from the wall with a resounding crash. He stood up and walked over to it and with a lazy swish of his wand it was gone.
"I am gonna need some help getting this place livable," he said to himself before walking back out the front door.
A/N: for those of you that have commented on my grammer or my spelling I apologise for it. I go through each chapter a couple times before posting and I am bound to miss some stuff. I am looking for a beta if anyone is interested.
