28th February, Black Manor

The first rays of the sun were clouded this morning, creating a slightly gloomy and lazy atmosphere in the manor. Lord of the house stumbled his way down dressed in his velvet night robe, his body was aching as he recently decided to get his arse back in the field and for that sharpen his dueling skills in the dungeon down below.

As he entered the dining room, he spotted Amelia and Andromeda sitting there talking with a thick tome on the table beside the redhead. Hiding his yawn behind his hand as he took his usual seat groaning "Don't tell me something else happened? I swear it feels like Magic is treating my godson as a chew toy" his coffee and breakfast appeared along with that Daily Prophet, Arcane Digest, and some mail, in front of him.

Andromeda sighed "Honestly Siri, you should be more thankful to Amelia, she brought us some very useful information"

Taking a sip of his coffee he sighed "Yeah, that hits the spot" before turning his attention back to his cousin and asking "And what information is that dear cousin?"

Andromeda simply gestured to Amelia saying "I don't know she was about to explain when you came in"

Amelia sighed "Okay, now so we know what happened at the World Cup, the death eaters attacked and Harry fought a few to save Fleur and Apolline's dignity in that clearing. But we know from his statement that he didn't fare well against them but in desperation called his magic to save those he loved and cared about, resulting in the Magical Shock Wave or Wave as people worldwide have been calling it.

Now the department of mysteries had been researching it and the day of our meeting with Lady Longbottom, after both of you left, I was informed about their findings" tapping the book in front of her.

She continued "Now first of all their reading of the wave informed that the intent behind it was powered by pure love. Which has few consequences of its own. The first one is related to the study of the scholar by the name of Aurelia Fernandez from the late 5th century. She was repulsed by the marriage customs, incest, and harem culture of the magical societies all over the world. She looked behind that curtain and found, the Fernandez Index of Magical Compatibility and Theory of Familial Magic. While I am quite sure you are familiar with the latter the former is relatively unknown

She concluded that the magical humans, Homo Magi are driven by magic to find their perfect mate in every sense of the word. Magic doesn't have the distinction between the family and strangers during this process. It only looks for compatibility between individuals and their magical prowess. She called it Hekate's Law"

"But some witches or wizards are more powerful than others, as such they have no equal in terms of quality of magic or compatibility, like Merlin for example?" Sirius asked with Andromeda adding "How does magic choose their mate then?"

Amelia smirked "I had the same question about this as it turns out the answer is simple, quantity. Magic chose multiple witches or wizards to make up for the lack of quality, maintaining the balance of the world. Merlin was an exception as his mate was Morgause who was also his enemy. They couldn't find happiness, to begin with," in a wistful tone.

Sirius shook his head at the revelation and leaned back in his seat "Wow!" before asking "But how does this relate to us?"

"I was about to tell you before you interrupted me" Amelia growled before explaining "Now the Wave that Green Eyes sent had served another purpose, served as sort of radar to find his equal mates"

Andromeda and Sirius sat up straight with the former asking "Wait a minute, so you are saying that whatever is happening, our contracts and him saving girls, is all because of the wave?"

"No, that can't be contracts were made before the wave and I have to say I agree with where this is going. As we have seen, Harry is packing quite a power even a baby" he said with a mix of eagerness and contemplation on his face.

Amelia nodded "We, as in, you, I, Susan, Tonks, and Bellatrix would be been enough, but I sense that over the last fourteen years, he had only gotten stronger as such the number of his soul mates has steadily increased and if my guess is correct it will keep increasing until the balance is restored" passing the book to Andromeda.

With a confused look, she opened the bookmarked page only to find her eyes widening before she leaned back sighing "Merlin! This is…" and passed it to Sirius who looked at it with confusion before scanning pages and completing the sentence saying "… Amazing!"

It got him an incredulous look from his cousin while the redhead only raised an eyebrow at which he added "Oh come on, you know we can't stop any of what is happening might as well go with the flow of things. It could be that his mates are at Hogwarts, he already found Fleur, Daphne, Sif and Ingrid, who is it to say that there aren't more? So let's just do what we can, inform others of this founding so that they can keep an eye out for possible let's say… candidates"

Both witches were silent for a minute before nodding with Amelia saying "Okay I will be taking the book and keeping it at the Bones manor vault for the time being, and if the number is going to exceed double digits, we are going to need a timetable" as she took the book and left for the day.

"And if it does come to that we will need a much bigger house than this one," Andromeda said taking a sip of her tea.

Sirius who was now perusing his morning mail and setting aside the periodicals asked "We will tackle it when it comes to it" he stopped at a particular letter that was simply addressed to Lord Black. As all the mail is scanned by Gringotts before it's delivered, as such it was safe to open and that's what he did, reading the parchment which had very familiar handwriting on it

To Lord Sirius Orion Black II

As a daughter of House Black, I Narcissa Cassiopeia Black, request a formal meeting with you, to discuss some very sensitive issues. I would prefer it to be in the establishment we are familiar with, the one our late Aunt Dorea introduced to at your 12th name day celebration. I hope today's high noon is convenient for you.

Your cousin

Narcissa Cassiopeia Black

Sirius sighed rubbing his forehead saying "Oh Morgana's cunt! It's just one thing after another, I am starting to think, it's never going to end. I am paying for my parent's sins!" throwing his head back on the chair and throwing the letter on the table.

Andromeda raised her eyebrow took a sip of her tea and dragged the letter to herself, seeing the handwriting on the parchment, she almost spit her Darjeeling tea out. Putting the cup down she read it saying "Is she…? Talking about Button?" with a smile playing on her lips as she added "Well there is another way to look at it Siri, magic is giving you a chance to undo some of their mistakes"

He looked at her with an incredulous look on his face asking "Did you drink some botch potion or something Andi? Cause you are making no sense to me!"

The witch rolled her eyes explaining "You never really had a knack for reading between the lines did you? Such a Gryffindor" shaking her head. Ignoring the affronted look of her cousin she further explained "She wrote this as a black addressed to her lord, which means she needs to discuss some house business. The second point is, that she reminded you about your Button's, you know she loved their pecan pie, something she shared with Mum. It was their thing to go for brunch at high noon on Thursday! It's her way of genuinely asking for help"

Sirius looked at her for a minute before asking "Okay, I guess I will write her back and meet with her, but if she comes to me pleading for her scum husband or son, it's not going to end well between us"

Andromeda nodded "That's why I am going with you" once again seeing the mix of affronted and confused to which she answered "You have blinders on where Malfoys are concerned and it's the fact that even you have to admit, If I am there it will make things move more smoothly"

He grunted "Well then Andi I will see you back here in exactly about two hours, wow it's late morning for me isn't it?" he whistled just now realizing that he woke up very late, then again his dalliance with a last pretty blond was worth every minute of it.

Andromeda nodded saying "Well then I will be writing a letter to Dora and others in the meantime, it's going to be tough to explain properly" as she finished her tea and made her back to her room.

Button's Coffee House

The old Victorian interior of the cafe was complete with floral wallpaper, old wooden furniture most made of oak and rosewood, along elegant pastel colors that were perfectly accented with gold. The bell on the door chimed as Andromeda dressed in a blue sun dress with a navy coat over it and a yellow scarf around her neck.

Sirius followed with simple black jeans, a dark brown sweatshirt, and a black long coat. Upon entering both looked around for their cousin only to find her sitting near the other end at the table by the window, in a way that should anyone from outside look, she wouldn't be seen.

"There she is, come on… Siri?" she turned towards her cousin only to find that he was staring longingly at the wall to the right. Following his line of sight she spotted what it was her cousin found so interesting and drew a short sharp gasp. It was a black and white picture on the wall, framed in gold that brought back the memories long forgotten.

It was their very first visit, in the frame were, eight people in total. From the right were her younger self and Bella, both of them were almost eight back then with a four-year-old Narcissa standing on a chair, with a wide smile showing her baby teeth with their Aunt Dorea behind her just to make sure she doesn't stumble.

On the left was Sirius who was blowing out the candle with a party hat on his head, beside him were James and Remus, clapping away. Last was Charlus Potter who looked like he was singing and clapping along with everyone, a side no one outside his family was privy to except her grandfather that is.

She let out a shuddering breath wiping some moisture from her eyes and cleared her throat, snapping Sirius out of a similar trance. He simply wiped his tears with a wistful smile as they moved toward the table where their estranged cousin was sitting.

As they approached the table, the witch put her cup down looking at them before standing up and greeting them "Good afternoon, Lord Black, Sister" Her face was neutral but her voice wavered for a second as she continued "Please have a seat"

As they settled she followed it up "Would like some tea? I just ordered a fresh pot of chamomile tea" the facade of indifference breaking a little with a small nervous smile appearing on her lips.

Sirius shook his head while Andromeda nodded with a smile asking "I would love some Cissa"

She felt as if she was thrown back in time when all three of them used to play tea party at home. Even back then Cissa loved to play host, serving them air in empty cups. Bella never was a girlie girl but used to put up with her cause it made their little sister smile.

A wave of guilt washed over her as she found herself pondering what-if scenarios in her head. Her sister's voice broke her out of those thoughts as she accepted the cup saying "Thanks"

Once again an awkward silence descended upon the table, none of them sure about how to start or what to say until Narcissa who had noticed a slight moisture in their eyes asked "So you saw the picture too, I assume?"

"We did" Andromeda nodded adding "Those were simpler days" with a nostalgic look in her eyes.

Sirius finally snorted "Oh, that was the best day of my life until Pup was born, I remember dad made it so the cake I cut in the picture was spicy by adding fire and pepper, I mean afterward me, Prongs, and Moony were practically spouting fire out of our mouths. It's only after you lot had you laugh that we could have the real cake"

Both women chuckled at the memory with Andromeda adding "I still remember how you almost ate the spicy cake, had it not been for Bella and me, you would cried your eyes out"

The blond woman blushed protesting "I was four Andi, for magic's sake" making others laugh.

The cheery mood sobered up slowly and Sirius followed it up by asking "Okay, what did you want to talk about?" keeping an open mind about whatever it is she needs. Learning about Bella's situation was an eye-opener for him.

The blond woman sighed saying in a formal tone "Lord Black, I request to annul my marriage to Lucius Malfoy"

Her words were followed once again by deafening silence with her family members staring at her in shock. It was a natural thing to the world that her and Lucius's marriage was perfect with her being a perfect trophy wife and mother. No one watching from outside could tell that there was anything wrong with the family of three, but the truth as it always is was and will, be more twisted than that.

Before either of them could question her demand she started herself "After you ran away Andi, Bella was there to protect me and Reggie from Walburga and Father. But when she married.."

Andi cut in saying "She didn't marry that scum, Cissa she was sold to him by our father and aunt"

"… I know, I was there" Narcissa confessed seeing the shock and disgusted look on their faces she added "Please just let me explain" Seeing that they were silent she started "I was at home when Bella came to me looking worried, babbling about mother having a dragon pox. I understood what was happening but before I could warn her Father came with Aunt Walburga, Lord Lestrange, Rudolphus, and Randolph. She fought all of them, killed Lord Lestrange, and had them on the ropes but then Walburga took me hostage" tears running down her face.

She sniffled and continued "With a Wand at my throat they subdued Bella, they took both of us down to the dungeon. Rudolphus… forced himself on her, but she didn't fight and kept looking at me" She let out a choked sob as she continued "I couldn't do a thing, I was horrified and I watched as Father wrote the contract with her… blood. After that Lestranges took her while Walburga threatened the same fate for me If I didn't marry Lucius"

She felt Andromeda taking a seat beside her, taking her in a side hug as tears kept flowing from her eyes. She continued "I was… *hick*… so scared Andi… I didn't know what else to do. I agreed and hoped for the best. I… we were happy, I even come to love him or I was made to believe" with enough venom to kill a mammoth in the last sentence.

Sirius, once again controlling his anger asked in confusion "What did that blond pounce do Cissa?" hoping that his mother was in the deepest corners of hell serving the punishment and at the same time asking magic to make her suffer something even worse.

"Walburga started giving me a potion that made me more obedient and lucid, to keep me under control. Later Lucius kept using it, as he had been for all these years. It's only recently, the night of the World Cup, that I gained complete control of my faculties. The wave had somehow flushed my system of the potion"

Not noticing the look shared between her sister and cousin about that bit of information she continued "Suddenly 14 years of memories came rushing back to me and I passed out from sensory overload. When I woke up, I was confused about what was happening. To side with the caution I started checking everything that was served to me by elves, and I started to notice things that I didn't before. Like how Lucius was only at the manor for a couple of hours, and then he was out all day" she narrated in a somber tone.

Andromeda quirked her eyes "What happened next Cissa?" she asked curiously, still rubbing her sister's back. Giving her the courage to power through the conversation.

She nodded saying "I got suspicious but didn't act and had to keep the pretense up, during that time I found that my… hymn was still there" whispering just loud enough that only Andi could hear it, with a blush on her face.

Andi's eyes widened comically as she gasped looking at her sister and asking "You mean…" Getting a nod from her she followed it up by stating "That means Draco…"

"…is not my son" Narcissa completed

Sirius who heard the last two sentences almost choked on the water and had a coughing fit as a result as he asked "*cough* What? *cough* H-* cough* wh- *cough* who?*cough* Mother" as he hit his chest a couple of times.

This made blond sister chuckle "Trust me I know it was a revelation, but it slowly coming back to me and I finally figured out what happened. But this is important, I had our house elf, one that your godson freed follow him and report back to me.

What he told me was equally shocking, turns out Lucius had Squib cousin sister who is the real mother of his son. My guess is, that he knocked her up before everything with Bella happened, to save face and get their hands on black fortune they planned to have me as his trophy wife to the world, while the three of them enjoyed their lives in secret to escape the ridicule from his pure blood brethren for laying with a squib"

She shook her head "Anyway, now that I know the truth and have gathered enough courage, I am asking you, Siri, as Lord House Black to annul my marriage with Lucius Malfoy" with a pleading look in her eyes.

Sirius who was more than happy to do that instantly took his wand out saying "I, Lord Sirius Orion Black the third, annul the marriage between Narcissa Cassiopeia Black and Lucius Malfoy, so mote it be!"

Narcissa looked down at her, seeing that her wedding vanished from her finger, and let out a shuddering breath of relief with tears of joy as she looked at her cousin sitting across from him saying "Thank you, Siri, thank you so much"

Sirius beamed at her but before he could open his mouth Andromeda scolded "You are an idiot Siri! Do you know what you have done? You made her daughter of the House Black!" yet her voice lacked any steam.

The man paled as she understood the implication and buried his face in his hands groaning "Oh Merlin! Padfoot, you idiot think before you do…" From there he continued to curse his stupidity.

Turning to her sister Narcissa asked "What's so bad about being the daughter of house black Andi?" in a mix of confusion, curiosity, and anger.

Andromeda sighed "You have made a mess again Siri" as she took her sister's hand saying "Cissa, there is nothing wrong with being a daughter of House Black, it's just that after your marriage with Lucius… When Grandfather Arcturus learned about everything that was done by Walburga and Father, he killed Father in a fit of rage while Mum… I mean Aunt Dorea killed Walburga"

Narcissa felt dread settle in her stomach, her heart rate increased rapidly and her breath got shorter, expecting the worst she asked "What happened next Andi" Some part of her found a strange sense of happiness knowing that one's responsible for their family's suffering was dealt by those who cared about them yet another part, a more cynical voice in her voice stated not nearly quick enough.

"Well, our grandparents placed some contingency in place to secure our future. Grandfather saved Dad in the War one time, so had a blood debt which he cashed in and forced him to make a contract. It states that the Daughters of House Black are to marry Heir Potter. Now that you are one of us, and by us I mean me, Dora, and Bella, we are to be blood-sworn to him by this July " Andromeda explained.

The blond woman was surprised as she asked "You mean we are to marry, Harry James Potter?"

The older witch nodded saying "We are but it's not just us four, there is much more you need to know about this but before all that, are you comfortable with all this?"

She was silent for a few minutes before she sighed "It's just my fate if I have to hazard a guess. But I am excited to learn what kind of a man, he truly is, maybe this will be the kind of relationship I have always dreamed off" with a hopeful expression on her face as he turned to her cousin "It's okay Siri, I am not mad, if anything I am happy" turning to her sister her smile gaining a sinful curve as she laid a hand on the older witches thigh ending "Happy to be with family and ready to share"

Andromeda smirked returning the gesture snaking her arm around her waist just under her bust and bringing her closer saying "And I am so happy to have back Cissa" as she rubbed her thumbs around her sister's rapidly hardening nipple making the blond shiver in pleasure

Sirius who had finally brought his face up from the table, groaned at the display "Really both of you, cut it out!" snapping them out of their momentary lust haze at once. Seeing them blush he shook his head "Now we should have gone back home, we have a lot to discuss along with the fact that I have to tell pup about you, By Magic he has Lily's anger" shuddering in fear of his godson's reaction.

As they were all leaving he took one last look at the picture near the foyer with a solemn smile saying "We are going to be okay Mum, Dad" before adding "Prongs, Pup is a making me look bad now but you would be proud him, so would Lily Paws" before wiping his tear from the corner of his eyes and following the ladies outside.

Black Manor

As the trio arrived in the landing area of the house, Andromeda took Cissa saying "Come let me tell everything else, it's quite a tale" leading her up to where the family bedrooms were.

Sirius sighed feeling as if some unknown burden had been lifted from his shoulders, he made his way to the lounge only to find another letter on the table waiting for him on the table. Picking it he spied the Longbottom coat of arms on it, and he stopped. It's either what he had been hoping for or is a mallet in the form of a letter that will break everything bringing him back to square one.

With a deep breath, he rallied the Gryffindor in him opening the letter:

To Respected

Lord Sirius Orion Black, III

After some deliberation with my Grandson and Heir, we conclude that though we have our doubts about the validity of the claims, we seek justice as such we are permitting you to pursue the date of trial for your family member.

Regent and Dowager,

Lady Augusta Longbottom.

Letting out another breath he smiled, this was good cause with this things could finally move ahead, shaking his head he smiled calling "Jippy!"

With a pop female house-elf appeared asking "Yes, Master Siri"

"Take this letter and give it to Mistress Andi and Cissa" he passed the letter and the elf popped away with a bow. He opened a bottle of fire whiskey, and poured himself a drink, pondering on how to best tell his godson about this new development. But that was for later, right now was the time for him to celebrate a small victory by himself.
