Grimmauldsplace Dinner
10 minutes before their meeting Adrian apparated to a small park near Grimmauld Place. It seemed to be a very posh part of the city, which was recognizable trough the people who passed by his hiding place. When his watch showed one minute to six a plop sound was heard; "Do you already wait for a long time?" Asked Alphard who appeared behind his son; „No not really where do we have to go? " „Oh not so fast we have to make a few alteration with your face. My sister may be vile and arrogant but if there is one thing she is not than it is stupid. By the first sight she would know what business ".
Alphard drew his wand and murmured a few unrecognizable words. After he had finished his work he gave Adrian a small mirror. The young man did not recognize himself at first. His hair was of a light brown color and much smoother than before, his eyes shimmered in a grass green and his nose was longer.; "I think Hyronimus of Zirl would be a sufficient cover name my family knows about almost all pureblood family of Europe and they know that I lived in the country of the eight for a short time so we might get through with you playing the son of an old friend".
Adrian would have preferred to meet the other Blacks with his own face but decided not to argue further with his father's decision. Both left the hiding place and walked directly towards the houses 11 and 13. When they reached the border of the houses Alphard took short glances in both directions before he dragged his son threw a magic barrier. He knocked with his old fashioned walking cane at the door what was soon to be answered by a shrill call; "Kreacher open the door!" Shortly after a very unpleasant looking house elf opened the dark door; "Master Alphard mistress is already awaiting your arrival and who might be your company? " Alphard gave his coat to the elf; "This is mister Zirl he is the son of an old friend of mine".
Adrian followed suit of his father and also passed his coat over to Kreacher, who eyed the stranger with curiosity when suddenly two boys thundered down the stairs; "Uncle Alphard uncle Alphard! " Both threw themselves into their uncle's arms who fondly tousled through the boys hair. „Sirius, Regulus I hope you both are well? " Both boys nodded and seemingly waited for a small present and their uncle did not disappoint them when he conjured two small parcels. The brothers hugged him and as fast as they had appeared they vanished again; „My two nephews Sirius and Regulus! " Alphard explained silently to his son. „Who else will be here? "; Adrian wanted to know. „Today I only expect my sister and her husband my brother and my sister in law are on an extended journey since all three daughters of them attend Hogwarts since last you speak of the devil"; He stopped when Walpurga entered the anteroom;
„Alphard finally". She greeted her brother with an icy voice before she turned to Adrian, with false kindness; „And who might be this handsome young man at your side"; and reached her hand out to him. He made a small bow and denoted a kiss on her hand before his father told his sister the alibi story; „This is Hyronimus the son of my old friend Ferdinand of Zirl. He is currently visiting London and his father asked him to pay me a short visit". "Is that so oh I have heard of your family young man quite old and a much respected people, residing in the country of the eight one of your relatives even opposed to the dark Lord Grindelwald". Walpurga showed her knowledge and Adrian answered as charming as possible;" Your brother was right your knowledge about the pure families is more than amazing gnädige Frau!" "Ich danke ihnen für ihr Komplement!"(1); Walpurga smiled and lead them into the dining room where Orion already waited. „This is my husband Orion and you may already have met our sons Sirius and Regulus. I have to excuse myself for their rotten behavior but Sirius is quite a vivid child and his brother adores him and follows him everywhere even acquiring some of his bad traits!" Adrian was wondering himself about the harsh words of the mother what did she expect from two boys in this age.
„But enough of us we should begin with the dinner. Kreacher! " She called for the elf that appeared out of nothing. „Yes Mistress! " „Fetch my sons and then please bring us the first course! "As Mistress orders me to do"; he said and bowed low before he disappeared and returned, no second later with the two boys whose faces showed traces of molten chocolate. Mrs. Black almost instantly started to scowl with her sons while their father mustered them with dark eyes. „Walpurga for Merlins sake please let them be I am very hungry and I am not in a mood for one of your fits and we have a guest today!" "You do not have to stand their misbehavior for the whole year dear brother!" But it seemed that she let prevail Alphards objection and immediately the table was set and the supper could begin.
Between the different courses his small cousins were reprimanded to behave themselves and he did not want to know how live normally was in this house. When they waited for the dessert Orion addressed the young guest for the first time;" „So how is the situation in the country of the eight I have heard you are still struggling to establish order after the war?" Adrian tried to choose his words wisely because, after the short time he had spent with them he wouldn't be surprised if they were followers of the dark lord Grindelwald but at the thought of the massacre and the fires he couldn't hold himself back. „What are you expecting he and his so called Nachtjäger have murdered more than 300000 people, have devastated our two capital cities?" Walpurga seemed to recognized the starting tension and tried to change the subject to a, for her, more fitting one. „And how are the dealings with the mudbloods in the country of the eight? " "Excuse me madam?" "We have currently to fight a wave of mudblood sympathizers, the worst one is Dumbeldore he thinks they are the same as we are but in my opinion they are lesser than vermin"; Said Orion before he took a sip of his wine.
Alphard sat in silence but observed his son and his reactions and finally came to the conclusion that he had to save Adrian from further ideas of his sister and her husband; "„So have you heard anything of Cygnus? ". While Walpurga was ranting about the unpleasant troubles of her youngest brothers journey and Orions opinion that it was Cygnus own fault, Sirius finally dared to ask their guest a question;, „Do you have siblings?" Adrian smiled; „Yes two brothers and two sisters they are all younger than me!" „Wow you have a big family. "; Piped Regulus. "Yes we were sometimes quite a hand full for our parents". "Did they also scold you that often as ours do?" "Sirius that is not of your concern, leave Mr. Zirl alone."; Ranted Walpurga again. "Really Mrs. Black it is no problem I am used to younger children". "That might be Mr. Zirl but they won't learn proper behavior and not all of our friends are as openhearted as you seem to be". But Alphard stopped her; "Dear sister please they are just children and this is an informal family dinner! Sirius, Regulus why don't you show your rooms to Mr. Zirl. I am sure he will enjoy a little tour through the house".
Both boys, even before their mother could lose another word, left their seats and dragged their unknown cousin, threw the different rooms of the house before they landed in the room of Sirius, which in the contrary to the rest of the gloomy building showed at least a bit of color. The older brother proudly presented his belongings and soon started to talk about his favorite quidditch team. Adrian listened to him, amused, while Regulus observed his brother exited. „Do you have a favorite Team? " „No not really there are not many at home and they are also not very good Sirius!"; He explained. "So do you have other sports?" "No but once I accompanied my brothers for a soccer match!" „What is soccer?" Regulus wanted to know. „It's a sport muggel use to play". "Why are you watching a muggel sport?" "Oh I only had to look after my brothers and they really wanted to see this match so I went with them but for my taste it was rather boring". This explanation seemed to satisfy Sirius but his little brother brooded a little bit longer over the words of their quest; "Why should a pureblood wizards know about muggel sports?" But soon he was distracted by a request Sirius stated to Adrian; "Do you know some interesting spells which you could show us?"
Adrian thought for a moment before he asked; "Regulus could you fetch me a small object, something random you don't have any use for anymore?" The small one jumped from his seat and scurried away to return shortly after wit his hand full of bits and bobs. „Ok Sirius you first! "; He said and drew his wand; „I want you to lay your Hand on my wandhand ok? " The boy did as he was told while Adrian placed a wooden toy block on the floor; "Ok Sirius think of nothing just let the magic flow ok". Regulus observed them, with curiosity, from his brothers bed; "„Seelis". Invoked Adrian and a stream of red light hit the toy block who was transformed into a figure of a dark dog which barked for a few seconds and then freezed. Sirius grabbed and admired it. Just when Adrian wanted to repeat the trick with Regulus, Kreacher appeared; „Mistress demands the presence of her sons and the guest in the dinner room immediately. Kreacher will bring you there! ";The grumpy elf announced; „This won't be necessary we are able to walk down by ourselves, tell your mistress that we will be there any moment"; Adrian answered dryly. The elf wanted to object but Alphards spells only concealed Adrians looks not the part of him which was Black and so the house elf was forced to bow and before he disappeared said; „As young master wishes all for the nobel house of Black!" Sirius and Regulus looked at him with astonishment. Suddenly the first one bolted away. „What is wrong with him? " Asked Adrian „Not with Sirius but Kreacher only calls members of the family master or mistress,so who are you?" Asked Regulus with an icy voice similarly his mothers tone which did not seem to fit the five year old boy.
