Hello guys, I'm sorry it took so long to update. I've had some problems but here we are. In all honesty, I no longer have any idea where this story is going, I believe at this point this story is not about Harry, but Sirius and the Black family. Of course, we will talk about Canon events but first, we will see some Black family drama.

Chapter 15 is halfway written and is the introduction of our little Harry with the Weasleys and Draco. With Chapter 16 we will have a time jump.

Thank you for still being here with me and my slow updates but I won't abandon the story I'll try to write more and update at least three more chapters for January.

Tell me if you would like me to explore some topic.

Remus was fixing a few papers in Grimmauld's kitchen when he heard the doorbell. – "Kreacher take the headmaster to the study"—he pulled out his mirror and called for Sirius. — "He is here."

He saw Sirius nod and the connection went off. He walked quickly to the study. Dumbledore was looking around – "Hello headmaster."

"Good morning, Remus. —the headmaster looked at Remus from top to bottom. Remus wanted to roll his eyes but stood tall and proud, he knew how different he looked from the last time they saw each other. – "It's been a few months, you look well."

"I feel well sir."

"Reuniting with friends is kind to the soul."

Remus smiled a little— "I couldn't agree more."—he guided Dumbledore to the chair in front of the desk, he knew Sirius wanted the man to get the full Lord Black attitude.

They both turned around when they heard the voices. Harry and Sirius argue about painting on the walls. Dumbledore stood up to greet them. — "Sirius is good to see you."

Sirius smiled he extended his hand the other slightly on Harry's head. — "Headmaster is nice to see you. Harry this is the Headmaster of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore."

Harry extended his hand. — "It's nice to meet you, sir. Auntie Minnie said you are her boss."

The three laughed, and Sirius gestured for all to sit. Harry remained standing next to Dumbledore.

"Ah, Minerva is Deputy headmistress when I'm not there she is in charge, like right now. Is she aware you call her that though?"

"Aha"—Harry nodded— "I'm allowed because I'm cute."—Harry turned to Sirius. — "Can I go paddy, I've been social."

Remus bit down a chuckled and Sirius sighed— "Yes you can go pup."

Harry ran out of the room before Dumbledore could say goodbye.

"I apologize Albus his social skill is not the best."

"He is still reluctant to meet strangers, it's going to be difficult introducing him to the family."

Dumbledore turned sharply to him, and Sirius took advantage. — "You said there was urgency for us to meet, again I'm sorry for the delay."

"Yes, I'm aware you have been busy?"—Dumbledore said in a questioning tone.

Sirius chuckled— "That's an understatement, between lawyers, getting better, the full moon, family reunion, Harry, and our Holiday to Rome it has been an intense few months."

"Yes, you have taken to be out of Azkaban well, you said Rome?"

Remus smiled into the papers he was reading. Sirius answered. — "Oh, it wasn't easy, I've had to link my recovery with getting everything into place, some days Rems has to take over so that I can rest. And yes, Rome was beautiful, it did as good."

Dumbledore nodded and stayed silent when he realized that he wasn't going to get more from Sirius he spoke up— "Sirius, I must press into the matter. Harry was protected by some strong Blood wards."

"I'm aware"—

"They were done by Lily seconds before she died."

Sirius grinds his teeth together— "You don't need to remind me, I was there."

"Then you must understand that Harry needs those protection I'm sure that if you speak with…"

Sirius raised his hand—"I'm going to stop you right there before you ruin many years of friendship Harry will not go back to the Dursleys, if that was your intent please leave."

Dumbledore clasped his hand in front of him. — "I can understand your anger."

Remus scoffed— "Albus there is no Dudley's anymore. They moved because their reputation was destroyed, if I'm correct they sold their house and now live in the country with Vernon's sister."

The way Dumbledore reacted to the news, made them believe that he already knew.

"Harry's safety…"

"Is my priority"- Sirius stated- "I know you have been informed of Harry's abuse and the fact that you are here, right now, telling me to send Harry back, it baffles me. This is enough discussion, Harry isn't your concern he is mine, ours" - he pointed at Remus- "he will grow with us."

Dumbledore frowned – "There are things Sirius, things that I still don't understand of that night. Harry isn't safe and now you are considering inviting people from Voldemort's Inner Circle to your table."

Remus and Sirius shared a look, Dumbledore was surprised when it was Remus who spoke up— "Are you saying that you have secrets significant to Harry's life that you are unwilling to share unless we do what you ask? It doesn't work like that anymore Dumbledore."

"You don't have to worry about Harry's safety, Harry has us, Andy, and Minerva for that and you don't have to worry about the Malfoys I have them under control."

"That's what you think, what about the rest? we know that nobody is fully trustworthy."

Sirius looked at Dumbledore with a raised eyebrow. — "Ah, I see You're concerned that I'm going to raise him under black family doctrine."

Dumbledore pinched his lips—"I'm not seeking a fight Sirius I do want Harry safe; lord Voldemort is not dead."

Sirius sighed exasperated- "I'm very aware you told it to Remus, and even if Voldemort was gone there's too many blood supremacist bastards out there. Harry will be trained for when the time comes, he will learn his role as heir and I will make sure to clear the path for him, the question here is what's your role going to be."

Dumbledore look startled— "what do you mean?"

Sirius nodded and squared his shoulders—"You sent my godson to a house full of abuse, you knew that Petunia Dursley wasn't going to care for him, you forgot about him and now you're here asking me to send him back because his safety is your priority…I don't…"

Remus realized that Sirius was so angry he could finish his sentences. And Dumbledore understood he wasn't here for gratitude, he had been allowed the interview to be reprimanded, and he had underestimated the situation.

- "Look Albus"—Remus said throwing the papers into the desk and he leaned forward— "We are angry. we believed in you, Lily and James believed in you, and you just forgot about their son. You are trying to put your own conditions for information…keep it. But there are two options. You stay as a Headmaster, you wait for your turn until Harry's 11, you stay as our friend we ask for advice when it's needed and you're welcome into our home, you're invited to birthdays, balls, and tea."

Sirius took over—"Or we politely ignore each other because I'm not having this conversation again. we're not going to discuss it anytime soon, Harry will stay with us."

"Is this your last word"—Dumbledore said trying to contain his surprise, Alastor was right, the boys were not who they were years ago. They have grown.

"Yes, we have things to do, I have people to meet, business to do, countries to visit I'm going to be quite busy in the next couple of years and so will Harry, so this is my last word which one are you going to take?"

Albus looked between both men he had been told by Minerva that the wound was still fresh, and he had mistakenly ignored her. — "I would like to stay as a family friend."

Sirius and Remus smiled— "Very well then you are more than welcome for any event you receive an invitation to; I do ask you for one thing when Minerva takes care of Harry, you're not allowed to be alone with him."

Dumbledore's eyebrows raised— "I can't believe you think I might harm Harry."

"Oh no this isn't only for you; nobody is allowed to be alone with Harry. Remus and I will make sure that Harry's never alone with anyone, the family has received the same warning."

Dumbledore looked perplexed— "the family? you have already met?"

Sirius smiled but at that moment Kreacher walked in— "The Lawyers are Here."

Remus stood up and Dumbledore did reluctantly—"I'm sorry to cut the meeting short Albus but like I said many things to do, we'll catch up another time."

"I understand"— the headmaster said.

Remus walked into the parlor to the Lawyers and Sirius walked Dumbledore out the door. Before Albus apparated away he turned— "I do hope you take my advice, keep Harry safe."

Sirius gave him a curt nod and Albus was gone.

...

The next day the wizarding woke up to a headline.

Family reunion

(Black family photo)

The Black family reunion happened. Lord Sirius Black is the only living Black from the main bloodline, Lord Black has reunited many cousins. This reunion reintroduced and reinstated, Andromeda Black- Tonks. She will be Lady of the house until our lord Black marries. Lady black and her husband Theodore Tonks have a daughter who currently attends Hogwarts.

Lady black comments-"I'm very happy to be back in my family, many years ago I had to leave for differences in our beliefs but now Sirius has reunited us and I'm excited about what is to come."

Other important figures were Lord and Lady Malfoy, neither of whom were available to comment but it was known Lady Malfoy was very Happy to reunite with her sister. Others in attendance were Cassiopeia Black who hadn't been in England since her sister's funeral in 1980. We were able to talk to her and she was quite excited.

"Last time I was home It was to say goodbye to my sister, I couldn't be here for my nephew's farewell but I'm back to help his brother Sirius to rise back up. The family reunion was so much fun, catching up, and brainstorming, there was crying, and forgiveness. I think the black family is finally going to move forward."

During this reunion we also had Lucretia Prewett, she wasn't available for comment, but it was confirmed that Lord Prewett would arrive soon in England to speak with Lord Black. Another noticeable character was Callidora Longbottom, and she had a strong statement.

"My nephew is willing to heal the wounds caused by our families during the war. I believe the following months will show the type of men Sirius Black is."

The most surprising Persona in the reunion was the Weasley, Cedrella Weasley hadn't been part of public life since her son married Molly Prewett in 1969, Arthur Weasley also in the picture works for the ministry as part of the misuse of muggle artifacts office.

"We were honored to be invited, our cousin was very agreeable, I believe big changes are to come."

Lord Black was unavailable for comment but given the following days, we believe he will stay away from the public eye. Here in the prophet, we want to wish him a happy birthday and to remind him, Mr. Potter and Mr. Lupin that we still have Lily and James Potter in our thoughts."

...

Sirius finished reading the paper while having breakfast, Harry leaned into his shoulder to look at the picture.

"Are these your cousins?"

"Not all of them, in a way they are your family too"

"Like the Dursleys?"

Remus looked up at both of them, he looked at Sirius in question.

"No pup, some might look mean but they won't hurt you, I won't let them."

Harry gave him a smile.—"Okay, if they are mean I'll tell them Uncle Moony can eat them."

Sirius burst out laughing and Remus choked. –"No Harry you can't say that…ever"
"Why not?"
"Because some people will believe it and you will get me in trouble."

"Harry's eyes widen—"I don't want that, I'm sorry."

"I know cub, but I promise they won't hurt you."

Harry nodded but like always he quickly focused on something else and started reading the Quidditch section.

"Have you considered Andy's idea?"

Sirius frowned he didn't even know if he would be capable of functioning and Andy wanted him to walk around muggle London trick or treating with Harry. - "No"

"Sirius, he doesn't know, and he asked for it."

"I know but" - he turned to Harry head tilted and tongue out following the letters with his finger.

"I want to tell him. I Prefer to celebrate Samhain than Halloween. The circle, to talk about them, light the candles do the feasting…"

"We can do both Siri."

"Are we even going to be functional?"

Remus smiled sadly he knew this would be the first conscious grieving Halloween for Sirius- "Unfortunately Pad you can't break down, not when we have children, not entirely at least."

Sirius sighed, he just looked out the window.

…

They heard Cassie's high heels, Remus smiled at Harry poor boy looked nervous he knew things were going to start changing. They were in the Tea Room and Cassiopeia walked in and greeted Sirius with a kiss.

Cassie smiled but her eyes were on Harry who was sitting next to Remus.

"Oh, my boy"- Cassie said a little overwhelmed- "Harry"- she sat down in front of him- "oh honey you look so much like your daddy even the crazy mop hair, oh but come here Aunt Cassie would like a hug."

Harry looked up at Remus- "only if you want to cub"-

Harry walked to her, and Cassie gave him a small hug, he was a little tense but smiled at her— "hi Aunt Cassie"-

"Hello dear"- she pinched his cheek and Harry ran back to Remus who smiled at him and sent him back to a table by the window with crayons and colors. Cassie waited for Harry to cast a silencing charm. – "What was that about."

"He doesn't like strangers, give him time."

"Have you checked your papers"- Sirius asked sitting next to her-"We hope they don't interfere with your schedule."

"Yes, I like the agreement my first big event is a party for Valentine's Day, it's mixed with muggles, Italy has a vast amount of rich married squibs. I normally change locations and this year will host in Castello Odescalchi. The event is an auction, it would be appreciated if you could add something."

Remus said writing it down— "I'm sure the vaults have something."

Cassie smiled— "I have two events during the summer. First Florence is entirely muggle and in Venice it's magical and that's not children-friendly go single. - She winked at them—"After that, I spend the rest of the summer in Greece."

Sirius laughed at his aunt's eccentrics—"I always wonder why they kicked you out, you seem like the only one who knew how to have fun, we'll add them to our calendar, now this is what I actually want you to do…"—He passed a folder with a lease and a few pictures—" I want to recreate a gentleman's club I have in France. It has two faces where they drink fine bourbon, play chess, and cards, and the other where...—Sirius gave her a wink.

Cassiopeia laughed- "That's how you knew, you're a clever boy."

"It was your brothers actually."

"Yes, Pollux had a weird mind."

"I want the same thing in Italy, I want it to be respectful and create the other one with their demands and preferences."

Remus took over—"We own the project but we want you to take over, you can hire people of your trust but we have to meet them. You can make your own decisions but Sirius can veto them, you will be the face and we will be the investors."

Cassiopeia's eyes were gleaming, million ideas were running through her head. – "Do you realize the many little dirty secrets we will discover, the amount of money we're going to make, friends we're going to make? I'll be more than happy"— she kept glancing at the papers- "we can start elegant, modern start with a selective list and add more."

Sirius leaned back and let Remus and Cassie discuss the club, he looked up to Harry who was staring at him, Sirius smiled he would make sure that by the time Harry went to Hogwarts he had so much power and secrets no one would dare to touch his godson.

I hope you like it.

Please review and remember I do this for fun.
