Taking a calming breath Harry lowered Gabrielle from his back and folded his arms in front of his chest while the blonde who had been hitching a ride on his shoulders ran and hid behind her mother's legs. Looking at the woman who still hadn't lowered her wand Hadrian got to one conclusion immediately, she was a Black. If her presence on the property without him bringing her here didn't show it then the crest on her robes and physical traits of the House of Black upon her face sure confirmed this fact. The way Andromeda was standing with Narcissa without any trace of the confident woman who was teasing him yesterday and this morning was greatly amusing.

Narcissa was also looking at the new arrival as if waiting for a bomb to go off but her discomfort wasn't as visual as Andromeda's. Elizabeth still hadn't lowered her wand and was standing protectively in front of Astoria while Daphne was besides her. Nymphadora was also there with her wand pointed towards the new Black arrival.

Deciding to first know about the unknown person in the room, Harry asked politely

"What is your name my lady?"

Cassieopia thought of withholding the answer and asking for their names first but realized that if she didn't them Andromeda surely will.

"I am Cassieopia Black. I know Andromeda, Narcissa and Andromeda's daughter here. Lady Greengrass and her daughters were also introduced to me. The Delacours I recognize from ICW and Ministry events. And by Andromeda's daughter's demonstration you must be James' son, the new lord Black"

Hadrian nodded and then said "'Andromeda's daughter's name is Nymphadora"

Cassieopia raised an eyebrow and Nymphadora glared at Harry while he lowered his eyes realizing his mistake.

"Okay everyone lower your wands, we are here on vacation not warfare classes" Hadrian spoke diffusing the situation.

Elizabeth, Daphne and Nymphadora all lowered their wands and after that Cassieopia lowered hers when it disappeared upon a flick of her wrist.

'A wrist holster' Hadrian realized and was impressed at the speed of her drawing, it wasn't what one would expect from a Grindelwald era woman who was a politician not a duelist. But again he shouldn't go by stereotypes as he was already on his way on having a harem of Blondes, Nymphadora counted as she could become a blonde. Life was good!

"Harry! Snap out of your daydreams" Elizabeth said and Hadrian saw that everyone was sitting on the couches and seated himself in the armchair nearest to Narcissa who was sitting at the end of one of the couches. Taking a moment to admire the exotic Mango wood couches covered with Brown and Gold fabrics and the Fur covered cushions present with the crest of House Black on the armrest on the ends of the sofa, Harry admitted to himself that nutters they may be, but the Blacks sure knew how to show their wealth and standing in the society.

Cassieopia sat herself in the armchair opposite to him while the Greengrasses and Nymphadora sat themselves besides Narcissa and the Delacours sat on the other couch with Andromeda sitting on the end nearest to Hadrian.

"How did you know we were here? The wards were in Lockdown so you haven't been here before." Narcissa asked and got a haughty smirk in answer with a single word as the answer

"Portraits"

Harry almost facepalmed at his stupidity.

"Now, how were you chosen as Lord Black, you have Black blood due to Dorea being your Grandmother but if we go by blood relations then Narcissa peacock of a son should have been heir Black"

Cassieopia raised an eyebrow in query as Narcissa didn't even bat an eye towards the insult towards her son or react but didn't comment. Harry nodded and started speaking

"The Black Lordship came up in my inheritance test, I didn't question how but it was written on the parchment that I received it due to Blood relation with my Grandmother and Godfather. Whoever the latter is. I donned the lordship ring and the Black family magic accepted me, I also performed the adoption ritual on the Black family grimoire"

Cassieopia was stunned out of her mind along with everyone present.

Cassieopia spoke softly but the undercurrent of danger was present in her voice

"Your inheritance test showed Blood relation with a Black who was your Godfather"

"The only Black who would do this is Sirius, but if he has enough Blood relation with Harry here to give him Black lordship over Lucius' spawn…" Andromeda looked up sharply with as everyone bar Fleur, Gabrielle and Astoria reached one conclusion which Daphne voiced

"He Blood-Adopted Harry"

Narcissa continued with a frosty voice and Harry was reminded of hailstorms at their worst

"Also coupled with the fact that he swore a Godfather's oath for the relation to show up on the Inheritance test, this means that he couldn't have betrayed the Potter's because it would have caused direct harm to his Godson"

"Who is this Sirius?" Harry asked as he saw everyone's horrified looks when Narcissa finished speaking.

"Sirius Black was my Grand-nephew from my brother Artucrus Black, he was banished from the family by his mother when he refused to join Riddle for his Death Eater army. The Potter's took him in as he was best friends with your father…"

Enthralled as everyone was by Cassieopia words they never noticed that Harry screamed and grasped his head as he fell from the armchair and kneeled on the floor while screaming. Alarmed Narcissa, closest to him at the time immediately kneeled by his side as everyone watched in horror and worry. Astoria and Gabrielle both had buried their faces in their respective mother's sides while Daphne and Fleur both looked worried as Hadrian's face contorted into pained expressions.

Cassieopia was shocked, till today she had seen such reactions only from particularly strong Legilimency attacks. An accomplished Occlumens herself, her training in the mid arts by her Father Cygnus Black II had been brutal in the extremes. But this, this was looking like someone or something was slamming repeatedly into the boy's mind shredding his psyche to pieces.

After almost 3 minutes had passed Harry stopped screaming and moaning and simply laid leaning against the armchair. Seeing that he was now quiet Astoria and Gabrielle removed their faces from their mother's dresses and looked warily towards Hadrian as he laid there gasping.

Andromeda finally asked the question on everyone's mind

"Are you fine now Harry?"

"Yeah…yeah, I am fine just… give me one more minute. This is normal for me no need to worry"

Horrified didn't cover what Daphne was feeling. In one day her life was upturned, finding she was engaged to Harry was a surprise. That Harry was that arrogant ass' Adrian's twin was another surprise. After the debacle in Ollivander's she was finding the situation somewhat pleasant. After today's morning her positive opinion of him had increased. It certainly helped that he was much more handsome than other boys her age.

Cassieopia Black, the cleverest woman to grace ICW and Wizemgamot on many occasions in the last century was her idol. The way she negotiated and put nuisances in their places with insults big enough to starts wars and still did it in a way that no one could accuse her of insults was legendary. However she had never thought that she would meet her idol with wands pointed at each other. Then they were listening that The Sirius Black, Dark-lord's right hand man, Betrayer of Potters was innocent had shocked her. The Cassieopia was continuing when her 11 year old fiancé falls from his chair screaming and clutching his head. After that he says it's normal! Normal, her life wasn't normal anymore!

Soon Harry was breathing normally with his eyes closed and returned to his chair while Narcissa also sat back on the couch. Without any prompt Harry started explaining what had happened

"Sometimes seeing, feeling or hearing something triggers these episodes when suddenly I get memory or memories pertaining to the trigger. Like now when she said Riddle and Death Eater I got flashes of standing in front of many people with Black robes and silver and white masks. Several such memories with one showing one real banshee of a woman showing me the Black Manor."

"Do these flashes show you anything else?" Andromeda asked. While not the most knowledgeable on esoteric and arcane magics, working in 's had certainly never prepared her for witnessing someone experiencing someone else's memories.

Everyone else was as stumped as Andromeda on the matter.

"That was the helping hand you were telling us about in Gringotts, which has been helping you in dire situations" Narcissa said and Harry just nodded.

"Yes, one time when my face was about to be burned I suddenly knew how to create fire myself and could perform Incendio. Many times these flashes have shown me spells or when yesterday I was walking down the Charring cross road and looked towards the board of Leaky Cauldron another memory flash appeared and after five or six minutes of headache I was fluent in Goblin Language and knew how and what to ask for in Gringotts. Also I knew basic rudimentary knowledge of Wizarding world."

"What do you mean basic knowledge? You were doing magic just fine yesterday" Nymphadora asked in confusion as she had seen him perform Spells yesterday flawlessly. A little too flawlessly for a to-be-firstee.

"Basic Knowledge because prior to yesterday, I didn't have any inkling of the fact that a separate society of reality-altering humans existed. I mean I have seen wizards and witches but they never told me that we had our whole nations. And I always did magic like this because after the flashes showed a new spell to me I would perform it over and over again till it was perfect"

Cassieopia coughed and Harry turned his head towards her asking the silent question 'What?'

"So, you have been having these flashes of memories depending upon stimulus or emotional trigger and these memories are of someone magical. Someone who was shown the Black Townhouse by Walburga going by the description. Also you have been doing magic by learning through these memories for how many years?"

Pondering the question Harry simply said "Since I was six"

Gabrielle and Astoria at once said excitably "Can you show us what you know?"

Promptly they ducked their heads as everyone except Andromeda, Cassieopia and Narcissa turned to glare at them for interrupting what was a very serious discussion Harry and Nymphadora laughed and Andromeda smiled at the excitable nature of the girls. If Gabrielle face was a little angular and her hair leaned on more of the golden color then the youngest Delacour and Greengrass could have passed for twins. Their behavior was certainly alike.

Cassieopia seeing the merit in the wish nodded at Hadrian who stood up

"I don't have much, and this wand I have stolen from a wizard who was busy leering at some girls so I don't know how much I can do with it"

Everyone sat straighter as Hadrian just lifted his hand it got covered in Purple lightning and soon it turned into Red and then into Black.

"Whoa! You know Harry, I am never going to complain about the Marriage contract and I will happily be your Lady Gryffindor"

Nym's response as usual and Gabrielle was almost out of her seat with Astoria both sporting wide blue eyes and open mouths. Daphne was looking at him in curiosity while Fleur was looking at him with a little red on her pale cheeks. Narcissa had just raised one eyebrow and Andromeda was looking at him like he was a piece of meat made for her only. Somehow that look caused him to shudder internally despite his perverse tendencies.

Harry flicking his hand and the lightning was gone. After it immediately he flicked hand towards the floor and suddenly small spikes of ice shot from his hand and broke on coming in contact with the floor. Except Astoria and Gabrielle, everyone was looking impressed. Apparently despite Astoria maturity regarding… mature topics and Gabrielle intelligence to overcome the French accent in her perfect English they still didn't understand how much dangerous this was and liked flashy magic better.

Immediately his left hand lit up in blue fire and his right in red fire. Twin exclamation of glee and clapping were the response and they hadn't even seen anything yet. Bringing his hands together and joining them together the flames turned purple.

"Wow!" was said by all the 5 girls present. Hadrian considered that a personal achievement. Yesterday and today's morning had given him an insight on the personality on each of the girls.

Nymphadora was easy to impress and wasn't a vain girl. Her talent as a Metamorphmagus caused her problems and she dearly loved her mother.

Astoria and Gabrielle were similar and wore their heart on sleeves. Astoria cutting and embarrassing remarks and Gabrielle's no nonsense attitude was sometimes forgotten due to this.

Daphne was an enigma, her life as the Greengrass heiress was difficult. The memory flashes during his inheritance test in Gringotts had downloaded the basics of political structure in Britain and Daphne being the heiress of a Most Ancient and Most Noble house was certainly getting offers at balls and parties. Yesterday and in the morning he had certainly scored points with her but he certainly had a long way to go with her.

Any thought process on Fleur was cut off a he lost concentration and the fire snuffed out but not before leaving slight burns on his hand due to loss in focus.

"That was certainly interesting, fire manipulation without a wand is very difficult"

"That was awesome!" Astoria said grinning and Gabrielle nodded her assent of the blondes opinion.

Immediately Harry asked "Hey, Astoria yesterday you had dark hair. Today they are blonde?"

"I asked mother to glamour it yesterday. I sometimes like looking different"

Harry just took it in stride and then looking at Fleur he grinned mischievously at her. Fleur who had been looking out of the window just screamed as she was raised above the couch. Flailing her arms around her she looked towards Harry and saw him pointing her hand towards her. In her shock and then anger her English came out in an accent as she promised death and pain to him.

Everyone else was laughing and even Narcissa had cracked a full smile at the antics of . Andromeda just laughed and then spoke with a straight face.

"Harry, you shouldn't be looking up Fleur's dress"

This sent everyone into peals of laughter again except for Cassieopia, again. Harry blushed and lowered Fleur on the couch where she crossed her arms and glared at him with her face tomato red. Scowling at Andromeda he turned his hair orange and his eyes black. Cassieopia was shocked, two Metamorphmagi. And not one was pureblooded. Granted she didn't buy into the whole 'pureblood' doctrine sprouted by Riddle and his band of sycophants but the fact the certain pureblood families had bound certain talents in their bloodlines was the truth. But here she was with two Metamorphmagi born out of union between a pureblood and a muggleborn.

"Very good, you have perfect control at such a young age." Cassieopia commented

"How the fuck do you have such a great control?" Nymphadora shouted outraged and immediately cringed at the glare levelled at her by her mother and Cassieopia who was now her sort-of-Grandmother.

"I have been practicing since I was 7 years old, didn't had much else to do" Harry shrugged.

So on and on the demonstration went. Harry showed them how he could change color of something, how he could change anything into steel. Also he could do a wandless lumos with color variation also.

But the last thing shocked them the most Harry asked Gabrielle, Astoria and their sisters to go to the other room. Daphne immediately went along with Fleur but after some pouting Astoria and Gabrielle also relented and went in the room where Narcissa and Andromeda had been talking.

Closing his eyes Harry said "Can anyone conjure any animal for me?"

Confused by the weird request Appoline immediately conjured a dog into existence. Harry pointed his hand at the canine and a pale green beam flew and immediately struck the dog who fell down lifeless.

Pale faced everyone turned from the corpse of the dog who just had been waggling its tail not 2 seconds ago towards the seemingly cute and innocent boy their daughters or in Narcissa's case herself were supposed to marry without any escape.

Harry started speaking softly

"That was the first spell I learnt. When I told you four, Bloodbane and Ragnok yesterday that I ran away from my abusive guardians after their death when I was five years and some months old. Truth was Vernon was about to 'loan' me to his sister for a few days.

"I didn't knew at that time or even now that it was going to be sexual loan or just regular day of doing chores and work with meager scraps for meals but I knew that I was going to be tortured. I felt so afraid and lonely. I cried that night and in the morning when the man I think his name was Vernon, pulled me out of the cupboard I hated him. I hated him so much that I wanted him to die."

"Then suddenly, I knew that focusing on my hatred and desire for him die on the words Avada Kedavra would cause him to die. I did it, felt great when the light left his eyes. He didn't even had the time to scream. Knowing if I didn't leave I would be killed since I didn't had any way of doing it again. I looted what I could find before his wife and son woke up and left the house.

"After that I think around my ninth birthday, a witch tried to kidnap me. I just lit my green and she ran away screaming killing curse from the alley. Then I made the connection that Green light means killing curse in magic. So rarely when I would come across a wizard I would just light my finger and they would run away"

Appoline just engulfed him in a hug as he stared straight ahead lost in his memories which he recited in a lost, broken voice. Being a veela, Appoline had some empathic sense and as Hadrian had been speaking his strong emotion s had caused her emotions to go haywire. Fear, Hate, Anger but most of all loneliness were prevailent in his magic.

Andromeda also hugged him from the other side as Hadrian sat there unfazed lost in his torturous childhood memories. After some time Hadrian James Potter, Lord of 8 strongest houses of Magical Britain cried for the first time in four years on the shoulder of Appoline Delacour as his future mother-in-laws and fiancée watched with sadness.
