A/N: My thoughts(:
Hello Readers, I hope you all have gotten ensnared by my recent writing. I sincerely hope that you never bore of this story; but alas, sometimes people just get bored of reading sometimes. I take no offense! I hope that you all review at the end of the chapters, so that I know how you all feel about the story. I also ask that you give your own opinions of the going ons in this story. Yes, I have a somewhat formed plan on how to write this, but this story is purely for the readers. If you have an idea, and you want to see if I have the ability to incorporate it into the story, I will try my very best. I also want you all to know, I will allow any form of criticism, so long as it is not cruel and you explain why you are criticizing my works-it will definitely help to make my writing better. Besides those points, I think I'm done talking...well typing. Have a good day, and enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 9) Training, Bonding, and Family Part Two
One morning Walburgha must have been feeling rather defiant, because as they were beginning to enter the room Walburgha started ranting about 'pathetic muggles and their useless technology' and Hadrian was feeling rather hormonal. His wand came out in a flash and his wand was pressed against her cheek.
"Walburgha, I suggest you shut your mouth. Right now. I am not in the mood to hear your consistent whining, nor your badmouthing. Sit in your damn seat, and I'll explain why we afe learning about 'Muggle Technology'." His wand dug a bit into her cheek as he guided her to her seat. "Please, everyone. Sit."
The group moved to the chairs surrounding the board and Hadrian sighed, rubbing his face in agitation. "What do you know about the muggle wars?"
"Well, I know that during the war against Grindlewald the muggles were in the middle of their own war. That also centered around the country of Germany." Answered Nicholas Abbott, even though he sounded hesitant.
"You are correct, Nicholas. While we wizards were fighting against Grindlewald, the Muggles were fighting against Hitler. Both men were commiting Genocide. Killing off people they dont agree with. Hitler was condemning anyone with brown hair, and brown eyes, to their death because he assumed they were Jewish. Grindlewald wanted to rid the world of Mundaneborns, and all muggles, because he felt they were beneath him." Hadrian leaned against his desk, before continuing. "The muggle world has weapons, weapons that we can't shield against. They have bombs that can level the entirety of Diagon Alley, they have machine guns, that spray metal bullets and kill almost everything in its path. They are dangerous, or they can be allies-albiet allies that are kept at a very large distance."
Walburgha's eyes widened at the amount of damage the muggles could cause, but still was able to keep her Pureblood Haughtiness. "Please like they could do damage to us."
Alphard lowered his head in embarrassment. He knew he had to talk to Arcturus and Orion over Walburgha's behavior. "Walburgha shut your mouth. Before you embarress our family any more. Hadrian could you tell us more? We know that it's not really your place to tell us the history, but I'd like to know more."
Hadrian chuckled darkly. "Oh, Walburgha. The muggles outnumber us. I believe it's one magical to 7,500 muggles. It could be more muggles to one magical. We are the minority in the mundane world. Your behavior is what will get you killed." He turned away to face the board. "Sorry, Alphard. But you'll have to wait for the History Lesson, perhaps go to the Library and look for books on Hitler, and the other wars the mundane have been involved in."
He flicked his hand and paper appeared on their desks. "Pop quiz on everything we've been over. You've got an hour."
After the classes, all the teenagers went outside to socialize with eachother and the magical creatures that were on the grounds. As the teens and young adults were outside, the elder adults met up in one of the Formal Parlours.
Hadrian and Guinevere were exhausted from the day of teaching, and Markus was keeping a watchful eye on his mates. Meanwhile, the rest of the adults were split into different and mixed groups. To the right of the Triad sat Charlus, Brendon, Arcturus, Dorea, Lylac, Augusta, and Constance-they were the closest of friends out of all the adults and were all discussing the Wizengamot and their Political Weight. In one of the corners stood Walburgha, Orion and Alphard-they had a silencing charm up and Orion was looking less than pleased with what Alphard was telling him. In the opposite corner of the Blacks stood Malani, Nirvana, Lina, and Kailee-they were drinking tea, and talking about how far their knowledge went. Devon, Abrahan, Kerion, Miguel, Jericho, and Samson were standing in the center of the room and discussing their careers. Sara, Nicolas, Mino, Vera, Caleb, and Mikeal were discussing about retaking their OWLs and NEWTs after all their training. Julius, Cygnus, Cruella, Maliah, Joseph, and Joanna were sitting silently on the couch nursing their drinks.
As everyone had entered the room, Markus cleared his throat-therefore garnered the attention of everyone in the room. "As you all know, the mail comes to everyone through Gringotts. And is sent at the end of each day. When the Lord of your House is called to the front of the room, he will collect all mail for their family. Any mail that was meant to cause harm, has remained in a vault at Gringotts. You will all be able to obtain it when you leave the ward." He smiled slightly and began handing out mail to the House Lords.
"Err...Hadrian, I have here a letter from Dumbledore asking where my family is and why my child isn't back in the school. He's also asking about Lily, Remus, and Peter." Charlus said. "There's also many letters from Hogwarts for the Children. What should I say?" Several others, who had withdrawn their children from Hogwarts, also held up their letters.
Hadrian sat up straighter, and asked to see one of the letters. "You all simply right back, that you pulled your children from the school and went to a safe location. You can't tell anyone where you are, so that's all you can say. As for the children, they were all of age or you are the parents. Therefore able to pull out the children. Lily, Remus, Severus, and Peter-" he said the name with angered disgust, "were all of age, and made the decision." With nods all around the room, he leaned back into the soft cushion and as conversations wore on, his eyes started to slide shut.
-Time Skip-
The day came. Hadrian Vox Dracones gave birth to a handsome baby boy. He had his father's green eyes and angelic looks, but his other dad's very tan skin and streaked hair that was curly.
"What's his name?" asked Malani.
"Caelum Hydrus Black." He looked over at his mates, smiling. "Guinevere, Markus. Can you call in their selected godparents?"
The two walked out to the hallway and called in Arcturus Black and Augusta Longbottom. "It's nice to see you well, Hadrian." said Augusta as she came to a stop before his bed.
"Augusta. A pleasure, as always. However, I wanted to ask the two of you a question. How would you like to become the magically bound godparents to Caelum Hydrus Black?" He watched as a look of pleased shock crossed Augusta's face, as well as entered Arcturus' eyes.
"The first of your children will be the Heir Black, from your bloodline?" He asked in a whispered voice. He got three nods in return, and the resulting smile shocked the Triad. "I would be honored to be the Godfather of this lovely child." And Augusta gave her own acceptance.
Hadrian smiled. "We'll do the ritual, when I have my energy. Now, if you don't mind, we have the Castle inhabitants that wish to see Caelum and then I need to rest." That got a chuckle out of them both and they went to go let in the rest of the huge 'family.'
Everyone held the little infant, even the youngest child. Harry had let everyone hold the baby once, before calling Malia to take the baby to his crib. His body was officially drained of all energy. Everyone left the room as he fell into a deep sleep.
-Time Skip-
Guinevere was past her due date. And she was a very hormonal witch. The slightest sound made her send a curse towards it. Sadly it had been Lord Arcturus Black who had made the sound that morning. He had chuckled. CHUCKLED. But now he was staring shocked at his conjured mirror. His skin was brilliant pink and his hair was a pukey green. He was sure he'd never such a disgusting combination before.
Guinevere turned a glare towards the older man, "Don't laugh at the kitchen table. It's annoying." She said with a menacing tone, even though she was smiling. It was time for everyone to quietly, but quickly, evacuate the room. Which they did.
Hadrian handed Caelum Hydrus to Markus, as he walked ever closer to his pregnant mate. "Guinevere, my lovely, perhaps we shall cancel the classes and rest?" She glared at Hadrian for a moment, before nodding. As she stood up, liquid dropped to the ground creating a puddle. "Or better yet, let's just get you to the Infirmary. Tipsy, Infirmary please!"
Minutes later Guinevere laid in a bed, sweat covering her forehead and Markus standing back and holding Caelum. The rest of the castle's inhabitants were waiting in the corridor, flinching each time the heard a winded cry of pain. Hours of waiting for most of them, and hours of getting your hand crushed, finally paid off with the sounds of an infant crying. The sound rejoicing. Guinevere held the little girl and smiled. "Hadrian you already know what to name her. Let me sleep." Hadrian, took the little girl, as Guinevere fell into a very exhausted sleep.
While Caelum would uphold the Black tradition, the little baby girl would uphold the Evans and Lovegood traditions. Mariposa Lily Evans-Lovegood. She looked the exact opposite of her brother. She had Silvery, blonde hair with slight red streaks. Her eyes looked to have already want to take on the shade of Guinevere's. Though she did seem to have been cursed with Hadrian's creature inheritance. It made her look angelic, especially with her eyes and hair.
He took the baby out to see everyone, seeing as his mate slept peacefully on her bed. Caelum looked happy to see her, and Teddy wouldn't let her go. This was his family. There were already plenty of photos of all the kids and the adults, through out the castle. Plastered to the walls, to give them some life. It works. It fills everyone up with unbelievable joy.
-Time Skip-
It was Leroy Davis and Narcissa Black's wedding day. Everything was owl-ordered, and sent through the Gringotts mail-box. Narcissa, Alice, and Lily had become very close since that first night they stayed in the castle, all those years ago(inside their time bubble, and only seven weeks to the rest of the world. Narcissa and Alice, were Lily's bridesmaids at her wedding to James. Lily and Narcissa were Alice's bridesmaids during her weddig to Francis. And now, Alice and Lily were Narcissa's bridesmaids. Davies' groomsmen were Xenophilius and Derek. The ring bearer was Marun and the flower girl was Mariposa.
As the wedding parties stood at the alter waiting for Narcissa to walk down the aisle, the attendees could see Leroy fidgeting. When the music started playing, Mariposa started dropping flower petals on the ground as she walked towards the alter in her silver-blue dress. Everyone's breathe caught as Narcissa began her descent down the aisle.
As Leroy caught sight of his beloved, his breath caught in his throught and his eyes gained an itchiness that usually came with tears. He blinked several times, and when she arrived at the alter he helped her up onto the raised dias and shook Cygnus' hand.
The wedding was short and beautiful, nothing like the wedding Narcissa would have been forced to have had she married Lucius. She was exceedingly happy, and couldn't wait to see what the future held for her.
-Time Skip-
By the time fifteen years passed in the castle, only seven and a half months passed. But inside the castle many things had change.
James and Lily were on their second pregnancy. Their first pregnancy resulted with a beautiful baby girl, named Maika Alicia Potter. Their second pregnancy was just beginning. Francis and Alice had postponed having kids until after leaving the time-bubble. But they doted on all the tiny little ones running around. Severus and Mariah, had continued to date. There were many jokes about this being the longest courting anyone has ever seen. But the couple was exceedingly happy, and Severus had finally gotten down on one knee.
Severus, the Marauders, and Lily were all close friends. They got over all their issues a few years ago, when Hadrian and Teddy looked them into a room- and did not let them out until all issues were figured out. Though Lily and Mariah, simply did not get along all that well. But that was simply due to clashing personalities.
Matthew and Kelcey got married three years ago and already had a set of Irish Twins. The two kids were as opposite as night and day. Theodore Mason Abbott was tall, pale, and had dark-brown hair-with briliant hazel eyes. He was active and always running around. Seline Mariah Abbott was tiny, tan, and had ginger hair-with blue eyes. She was always lounging around or walking around with a child's book.
Remus and Nora still were getting used to their whole relationship, especially after remembering that an older version of Remus and Nymphadora had had Teddy. Though they didn't let them stop their relationship from getting serious. You could feel the love the two of them had for each other.
Leroy and Narcissa were simply enjoying the married life. They weren't planning on having any kids until later in life, even though they were planning on having quite a few. They just weren't ready to settle down yet. They still had a lot to do before that came.
Edgar and Marlene were still dating, although they hit a rocky patch when news came through Gringotts. The rest of the McKinnon family had been ambushed while on vacation. They were all dead. This had lead to the three McKinnons being depressed and being supported by the entire castle's inhabitants. Regulus, and Seraphina, were still dancing around each other and their affections-even though they didn't leave each others sides and were always in a secret alcove of the Library. Eric and Amelia were now engaged, although they were hoping to make the engagement last a little longer.
Xenophilius and Pandora had gotten married eight years ago and were now expecting their third child. Their first child was a boy, they named his Domeulus. He had a dark shade of blonde hair, silver eyes, and pale skin. Their second child was another boy, though he had light brown hair and dark blue eyes, and tannish skin. His name was Sebastian Derek Lovegood. Their last pregnancy, has almost come to an end. They knew it was another girl. And they planned to name her Luna Guinevere Lovegood.
Amos and Joanna had tied the knot a year ago, Amos had taken his wife's last name with the promise of their second-born having his last name. They were not looking forward to children for another few years. Cameron and Anna got married four years ago and had one child, her name was Felicia Ysabeua Smith. Oliver, Aife, Brandon, and Ysabeua had made a pact not to have kids until after they had all their tests aced and under their belts. So they were still waiting for children, but their marriages were as strong as they ever were.
Edward and Andromeda had been welcomed back into the family, even though Walburgha was still against it. Orion and Arcturus had bound her to the family's ancient laws. She was no longer allowed to speak out or act against the interests of the family, and by extension the Lord of the House and Lord of the Family Unit. She had been rather silent after that. The couple had had another three children. All males. They were named Kio Aquila Tonks, Phoenix Asterion Tonks, and Austin Julius Tonks.
Many of the new generation of teens in the castle saw eachother as family, so they didnt mess with eachother. Prefering to go out into the world to meet new people.
Hadrian and his mates never aged. Teddy had a multitude of siblings now. The oldest Caelum Hydrus Black, and his Irish twin Mariposa Lily Evans. Then there was Nikole Alison and Niklas Francis Longbottom, twins born from Markus- they had the unruly Potter hair, tan skin, turquoise eyes, and Hadrian's creature inheritance. Then they had Mikaela Rosemary Le Fay-she had Hadrian's green eyes with flecks of Markus' turquoise, she had alabaster skin, with dark red hair that was curly, and Hadrian's creature inheritance. Their next child was a squib child, but as loved no less. By anyone, and the one time Walburgha tried anything, Hadrian threatened to rip her heart out and feed it to Moony. She stopped trying to get rid of the child after that. Salene August Potter. She didn't gain the creature inheritance, because her magical core being to weak. But she was beautiful no less. She had bright red hair, brilliant green eyes, and her mother's structure. Making the girl look ethereal.
The next child, James Sirius Potter, looked like a perfect mixture of Guinevere and Hadrian. One eye was brilliant green and the other was violety, blue. His hair was silvery-blonde but curly. His frame was his mother's but his charm and beauty came from Hadrian and the creature inheritance. The next child was Luneia Venus Lovegood, the child of Guinevere and Markus. She had her mother's eyes, but her father's body build. She had her mother hair, but it was streaked with black. She looked just as beautiful as the other children. The next group of kids were triplets. Hadrian was carrying them, so there were less complications through out it. Though he was considerable more grumpy. The first one, Jasper Arcturus Slytherin, looked much like Markus, with the exception of his frame and the greener tint to his turquoise eyes. His sister, Beverly Karine Ravenclaw, was the exact opposite of him. She had Markus' from and her green eyes had and eerie blue tint to them. Her hair was black, and extremely straight. Her other brother, Gerald Charlus Gryffindor, was a perfect mix between the two. He had brown curly hair, one turquoise eye and one emerald eye, and his frame was a mix of the two. All three inherited their father's creature inheritance. Luna carried a set of twins, both boys. They would inherit the Prewett line. They were both ginger-headed, with light blue eyes-that had a violet hue to them, and their father's muscular form. They were beautiful, amd they had a smattering of freckles across their face. They're names were Avilus Markus Prewett and Brendan Hadrian Prewett.
Hadrian gave birth to a son who was announced a squib, he was devestated. He knew that when the castle wards allowed it, his two squibbed children would likely never return. And it shattered his heart. The boy was James Potter look alike. Even had the same personality as him. He'd miss that smile and the laughs he'd bring, but he'd cherish the time he has now. His name was Lucas Oliver Vox Dracones. Markus carried the next child, and it was a healthy baby boy, who had red hair and turquoise eyes, and Markus' build, but Hadrian's creature inheritance. He was gorgeous. He was named Seth Ren Vox Dracones. Luna carried another girl, and she took on her mother's looks completely. Her name was Jocelyn Clarissa Vox Dracones. And then she carried the last set of boys. Markus Remus and Severus Edward Peverell. This set of twins were due within the next three months.
-Time Skip-
It was time to take down the Time Ward, and all the extended family was sitting in the biggest Family Parlour on the ground floor. Hadrian was beaming at the group while holding Jocelyn in his arms. "You're training has come to an end, my friends. My family. I am proud to say that you would all be able to live in the Mundane World, if forced to. I can also say that you are all master duelists. I expect you all to get Os on every OWL and NEWT you sit for."
Markus, who was holding Seth, spoke next. "We are truly over joyed with the experiences we have made and the bonds we have grown with each and every one of you. I hope that you all feel the same. Who am I kidding, of course you do. Now, we have one last thing to discuss before we lower the Ward."
Guinevere continued from her spot on a chair, her hand resting on her protruding belly, "It is up to you all, but you may take a permanent de-aging potion. To an age of your choosing. Of course, your children are welcome to remain in the castle under the care of those who remain here." She waved her free hand, and a tray full of de-aging potions floated around the room.
The Lords of each house looked at each other and then at the potions. "Guinevere, we keep all our muscle memory? We will just lose a few years of aging?" Asked Alphard.
"Yes, Alphard. The only thing you'll lose is as many years as it takes to go to a younger age of your choosing. No younger than you were before you arrived, though. Please?" She said quietly, whilst watching the children run around the room.
He shrugged, grabbed a vial of the potion, "How do I do this?"
"Just think of the age you wish to be again." Hadrian replied as he shifted Jocelyn and helped one of the younger children back to their feet.
Alphard tilted his head back and gulped the potion down. His face drew into a disgusted look, before his face scrunched in displeasure as his body reacted to the potion. Not much changed for him, but that's not the point.
"Did it work?" When he got several nods from different people, he gave his acceptance of the potion.
After his approval, everyone took it. Hadrian looked at his children, and the children of his extended family. "You will not be taking that potion, kids. You will all grow naturally. If you are pregnant, it will not affect your pregnancy." Hadrian said as he moved to the basinet in the corner of the room and placed Jocelyn into it. "I'll be lowering the Ward now. You are all welcome to stay in the castle, this is your home as well. And it is well protected."
He moved to the hearth and placed his hand on the Vox Dracones crest. He let all his masks drop from his magic and pushed it into the crest. "I, Hadrian James Potter-Black, Crowned Prince Vox Dracones, hereby Dismantle the Tempus Ward. So I say, So mote it be." Abrilliant flash of light encompassed Hadrian, and when it faded he was crouching and panting. "Bloody castle and its grounds are huge!"
He looked at his family, and smiled. Before scanning them over. Many of the teenagers, went back until they were nineteen years of age. They still looked stunning and much more mature. Then Charlus stepped forward. "I am thankful that you are keeping this castle open to us. I have found everyone here, almost as if they were all close family." Hadrian smiled brightly.
"Charlus, it's time to level out the playing field and begin to fix the Wizarding World. We will need these bonds, simply to support ourselves. My home, is your home. Forever. Now it's time to show our faces once again. Since the first thing we must attend to is the Ministry and the Wizengamot. All teenagers, need to take their OWLs and NEWTs. While us adults deal with the Politics."
The 'teenagers' all went and said their goodbyes to the children as the adults gathered towards their original families. Hadrian looked to Guinevere as he helped her up. "Are you sure you can deal with a Portkey and dealing with Politicians, my little moon."
She nodded her head as she stood up. "It won't be much more than a bit of motion sickness, Hadrian."
He motioned for Markus to join him by Guinevere. "Make sure that the elves know that we are leaving, and that they need to care for the children, Markus. While I make the Portkeys to take us to London."
He conjured up a large piece of rope and casted the Portus charm on it, before holding it out so the family could touch it. They were all set to go off at the same time, into a large field. "Everyone ready?" He received nods, and he smirked. "Political Smack Down." And they were gone.
