A Life Changing Moment
Chapter 26
The next morning after breakfast and much stalling Sirius departs from Hogwarts to Black Manor. Black Manor just so happens to be the ancestral residence of Lord Black and holds the majority of the family library.
When Sirius arrives on the grounds of Black Manor, he starts to remember the time that he spent with his family even though it was mostly bad but there were still good times as well.
Sirius arrives in a large room with bookshelves from the floor to ceiling which happens to be the Black's library. Even though he has not been in this library for many years, he remembers to check the reference guide book to find the section of library that has what he is searching for.
He does not know how much time he spend going through different books in the family's library until Missy one of the family's house-elves barges her way into the library.
Missy says sternly "Master Black must take a break" looking at her new master as at's lunch time "Master Black shall have lunch now"
"Of course Missy" says Sirius defeated knowing that this particular house-elf will not rest until she got her own way.
That's why within minutes he finds himself eating his favourite meal from his childhood on the patio overlooking the extensive grounds.

When Hermione arrives in the library that afternoon leaving behind Ron and Harry in the Gryffindor common room playing chess. To her surprise she finds both Susan and Daphne already have a large stack of books on the table as they each of a book in front of them already.
Susan sees Hermione from the corner of her eye to say quickly "We have already gathered all of the books in this library that mentions anything about heritage tests" as she continues to read the book in front of her.
Without any hesitation Hermione sits in the chair across from Susan and Daphne. Then she takes the first book from the stack to read.
Hours past by since they started their search, Daphne informs the pair after they finish the book which they were currently reading "It's almost dinner so we should put away the books that we already read and have Madam Pince on hold for us"
Knowing that Madam Pince has a limit on the number of books that an individual person could place on hold. That is why the remaining fifteen books were spilt between the three of them.
"We will meet here after dinner to continue our research" states Hermione knowing that's it her current mission to find the answer no matter how long it takes. Both Daphne and Susan nods their heads in agreement as they want the answers sooner rather then later.
It takes time to put all of the books away that they found to be useless as they stood before Madam Pince's desk.
Hermione asks kindly "Madam Pince can you put these books on hold for us?" as she's a regular in the library since her first year.
"Of course Ms. Granger, Ms. Bones, and Ms. Greengrass but they shall not leave the library" states Madam Pince sternly as these books are like her babies.

During dinner that evening, Dumbledore joyfully announces that next Saturday will be Hogsmeade visit much to everyone's delight. Soon after they finish eating, the three girls found themselves back in the library with the a pile of books once more on the table before them.
The library was minutes away from closing for the evening when Susan says delightfully "I think I found what we have been looking for" in which got both Hermione and Daphne's attention.
"What does it say?" asks Daphne eagerly to learn if she could partake in a heritage test as well.
Susan simply says "it states that we are eligible to participate in the heritage test as well but there must be a blood kinship between one of the original three and one of their soulmates" as she reads that section of the book out loud.
"Which we have because Ron and Fred are brothers" states Hermione excitedly knowing in this moment that they found what they have been looking for all afternoon and evening.
"We shall arrange a date for the heritage test to be as soon as possible" says Daphne cheerful knowing that she does get to participate in a heritage test that so few get to undergo themselves.
Susan adds to the conversation with the last piece of news "George also eligible to undergo the heritage test because they are identical twins" since identical twins share the same DNA.
After those words were said, they put away the rest of the books and borrowed the book in question from the library. Minutes later they went to Sirius's guest rooms to share the good news with the boys. Since they arranged at dinner time to meet there for a update.

Inside of Sirius's guest rooms, they find Fred and George talking with Sirius in secret as Ron and Harry were catching up with their homework.
Hermione announces loudly "They are eligible to undergo the heritage test and George as well" as the three girls walk into the room.
"How can I get the heritage test done as well?" asks George who is confuse with the entire situation as he's not one of their soulmates.
Susan explains to him calmly ''You happen to be Fred's identical twin which makes you eligible" knowing that someone else will soon learn that they have a soulmate as well.
"I will talk with Dumbledore to arrange your trip to Gringotts as soon as possible" says Sirius quickly knowing that they will need permission as they are all underage and then asks "Will you three like to accompany them as well?" looking at the Golden
Ron says quickly "Of course" with Harry and Hermione nodding in agreement knowing that they will need all of the support that they can get especially George who will learn who his soulmate is.

Soon after the teenagers left Sirius's guest rooms to return to their respective common rooms. Sirius finds himself standing outside of Dumbledore's office and saying the current password to gain access.
Dumbledore says joyfully "Mr. Black I was wondering when I will see you today" knowing that he went to search the Black's family library.
"Daphne, Susan, Fred, and George wish to leave Hogwarts to undergo the heritage test as well" says Sirius knowing that they found a way to be eligible to participate in the heritage test "Hermione, Ron, and Harry wish to accompany them as well"
"I will send a letter requesting permission for them to leave Hogwarts for an afternoon" says Dumbledore understanding their need to have this done as soon as possible but through the proper channels as well "And I shall arrange a escort as well"
"That is reasonable" says Sirius knowing that was the best he was going to get but he had the back-up plan of sneaking them out of school without anyone knowing.
Dumbledore then asks with a twinkle in his eye "Have you make any progress with how to destroy Voldemort's horcruxes?" hoping that he had the answer so the rest of the group could finally make the first steps in destroying him for good.
Sirius says proudly "You must destroy the host of the horcrux to the point where it can't be fixed be either physically or magically repaired. Through basilisk venom, fiendfyre, and finally the killing curse itself" knowing that he can now join Alastor in the search for these objects
