Chapter 1: New Beginnings

United States of America

13th December 1979: 

A purposeful scent of nursing of the Rockefeller hospital lingers and the birth of Alexander Black sent shockwaves throughout the world. Although Minerva McGonagall shook at the entry. The key surname highlighting the crucial importance, one of the most powerful pure blood wizarding families. Little did she know of Scorpio Black moving to America in 1914 to escape the muggle Great War. His grandson Alexander was born retaining his ever-important pure-blood status. Walburga Black screams in anguish and pain as the family tapestry connects the lines with the line connecting Andromeda Druella Black daughter of Scorpio with Apollo. It was more concerning for the Gods and Goddess’ of Olympus stirred whinging groan from a magnificent chorus of cheer and praise that there newest demigod is a Druid from the western world. How was Apollo supposed to know?

31st July 1980

Harry James Potter is born to cheers from Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail and Lily and greeted by arguably the greatest living sorcerer Albus Dumbledore with news that a fidelius charm is needed to stop the threat of Lord Voldemort (He who must not be named or you know who). A charm of greatest trust and confidentiality in the secret bearers.

Halloween 1981 

A flash of green struck Prongs too quickly to react. A flash of green intercepts Lily and the boy. The glare of animosity on the intruders face was striking with disgust. Mumbling “mud-blood” under his breath he instinctively lashes a third luminescent strand of green in the direction of cot yet an reflection sends it back into this direction and the intruder crumbles mere soul pieces from death. Fleeing as alarms raise in horror and shock screaming for support from local civillians around the village of Godrics Hollow

13th December 1985 

On Alexander’s 6th birthday he invited Sally Jackson around for dinner to get to know each other better and to really improve their relationship however a spark of accidental magic by spilling Fanta all over her needed to be sorted out. Sally was escorted back home to help cover up the a simple obliviate needed to applied silently by Andromeda first. “Alexander come here” Andromeda said calmly “please, i would like to talk to you about something very important concerning your life. You are a Wizard”

“A what” said Alexander.

“A wizard” said Andromeda, “now listen very carefully at the age of 11 you will go to Diagon alley with Scorpio and I to get your equipment for Hogwarts the very best school for witchcraft and wizardry. This is very important to keep secret due to the international statue of secrecy hence why sally can’t visit you anymore. I will personally homeschool you in maths, British English, Latin and Greek due to spells deriving from those last two languages.”

“Ok mum”

A few hours later In Britain a Remus Lupin was looking after his nephew Harry with his godfather Sirius in Shrewsbury where he was told of how he is famous after some snarky and rude wizardlings laughed at his ignorance. Remus began “It all started in 1980 when you were borne when your parents were forced to go into hiding to protect you and themselves from the evil wizard called ‘you know who’ a devastating lay vicious and violent person who loved to kill and torture the so called less worthy people without magic. He decided to hunt you down and our former friend turned traitor wormtail sold us out to him. That night Halloween 1981 you by sacrificial love from Lily shielded you from him rebounding and killing him. This is why you are famous all around the world due to you ridding us of the most evil wizard since Grindelwald. Whats the matter Sirius?”

“I have a floo call from Scorpio black, never even heard of him. I have him on hold for a moment so I can quickly check the family tapestry.”

“Come on Harry bed” Remus says, “I know this is a lot to digest. I will talk to you more about this tomorrow.”

“Sirius. Sirius.” Scorpio whispered. Come on answer he thought. “Sirius hello my name is Scorpio Black your Uncle, Walburga’s brother. I moved to America at the age of maturity and have lived in Alphard’s house since then. The reason for calling is to offer you to come meet myself and your cousin Andromeda and her son Alexander. This floo connection will be valid till noon tomorrow GMT. Feel free to bring Remus and any other friends of your choosing. WE are looking forward to meeting you and catching up if you do accept. Thanks Scorpio”

“Yes we accept will see you then” Sirius began I will bring Remus and my godson Harry Potter.”

“Wait what did you say. You said that Harry Potter the boy who lived is your godson. Sorry i wont overreact, it will just be a shock to all of us across the pond” Scorpio muttered briefly oozing class and royalty, he shook himself and vanished from the floo.”

Sirius stared on shock. He called out to Remus and spoke cautiously not leaving out anything minute details about his strange and slightly confusing conversation. He felt annoyed that he had an uncle who hadn’t reached out to him till just then. It astounded him as to how he got the floo address. His moral compass said he should talk to Andromeda Tonks about it to see if she would like to visit as well and get a very thoughtful second opinion instead of his weary, tired thought process under the heavy influence of whisky. His drunkard actions required the full attention of a healer and no one would he trust more than her.

Harry dreamed about floo calls he imagined a white bearded man of wisdom but full of cuckoo on the other end declaring his name as Albus Dumbledore. Harry thought and saw a sparkly constellation filled sky supported by marble facades and stone pillars of monstrous surroundings. He could imagine a conversation of trust and interest not the disparaging conversations he had with the neighbours. His dream changed. A flash of luminescent green appeared.
A scream filled the house and awoke Sirius and Remus in a flash. Storming into Harry’s room to see a child writhing under the duvet. They rushed forward to comfort him and controlled his screaming and coaxed the details out of him.
“Remus call the Tonkses’ now” Sirius demanded

“Black court” Remus said with purpose and an air of authority.

“Sirius, Remus, what is it?” Ted asked

“I require both your services andromeda for Sirius and yourself for Harry. Please bring Nymphadora she needs to know the severity of the situation in order to not upset herself or Harry”

“Right away Remus on our way” Ted said.

Moments later after spinning violently materialising out of thin air Andromeda Ted and Nymphadora appeared.
