Hadrian Black: The Serpent Lord - The House Of Black

Sirius Black entered his childhood home,with Harry Potter closely by his side. The place looked like it's seen better days, it looked like it's abandoned like 10 years not 4. Sirius could feel the presence of at least two magical signatures but only one was human, as he walked forward he told Harry to stay behind him but closely. Sirius had noticed a curtain covering what appeared to be a portrait but ignored it for now as they passed the threshold they entered the living room next to the fireplace sitting in the lounge chair was the elderly and weak form of Orion Black, Sirius's father.

Orion looked up at his newly arrived guest, he smirked before speaking to the older of the two.

"Bout time you showed up, boy!"

Sirius looked genuinely surprised, his father's word made it sound like he was waiting for him.

"You've been expecting me?" Sirius asked, looking startled at his father's greeting.

Orion laughed weakly,before answering his son.

" I thought you would have shown up sooner to be honest." As he continued to laugh before coughing then gathering up his strength. To continue speaking "Four years haven't been well to you, then again who am I to talk."

Sirius looked around as if expecting someone else to show up, before finally asking "Where's Mum ?"

Orion looked very serious at that moment, before answering his son and more than that he would explain exactly what has happened ,and what was to be expected from here on out.

"Walburga is dead, killed her myself after Regulas died she had told the self proclaimed dark lord that Regulas had been telling us lies about him, Voldemort killed him that night, But not before telling me the truth, About Voldemort, his heritage, his secret to his supposed immortality, everything. At the end of it do you know what I realized ?"

Sirius shrugged not knowing what his father was expecting him to say, but Orion continued. 

"Blood Purity is Hippogriff shite. Two of the most powerful Wizards in our history have been Half Blood magicals, Dumbledore and Voldemort, if they are that powerful with their blood status than blood does not have anything to do with power or skill. This war isn't over yet my son, I have made many mistakes but that boy behind you is how I correct them."

Sirius turned to Harry and back to Orion before asking in a demanding tone "How do you figure?"

Orion look at his son and laughed softly and answered him amusingly "You think I can't see that is a Potter from here boy? He is the key to everything,he is the only one who can destroy Voldemort, but he cannot do it alone, if Dumbledore has his way all will be lost, but in order for our victory there must be a sacrifice."

Sirius look at his father with a harden expression and asked in a cold voice, dreading his father's answer "What sacrifice, old man ?" 

Orion looked at his son and answered him " The end of the Potter bloodline. "

Sirius looked absolutely murderous, but before he could speak, Orion interrupted him to explain what exactly he had meant.

"Don't be an idiot Sirius, that boy will not die, he is the future of this house, I know you made him your heir, and as all living members of this family who are of child bearing age apart from Narcissa and Andromeda are in Azkaban they like you can never have children, but that boy behind you has Black blood running through his veins already we will only increase it."

Sirius looked as if he understood what his father was suggesting. Orion saw the look of realization on his son's face "You know of what I speak, don't you?"

Sirius nodded slowly "Blood Adoption." He said.

Orion smiled and spoke on "Yes, with you becoming that boy's father your blood writing that of James We will have not only a Worthy heir to the house of Black but hope for all the Wizarding world, he will still have his mother's protections plus the additional protection given to those who possess the blood of the Black family.

Sirius turned to Harry, who didn't understand fully what was going on, Sirius began to explain everything, Who Voldemort was, who the Death Eaters were, What happened to his parents everything and what his father was suggesting. 

Sirius looked at Harry and told him it was his choice. Harry thought about his life up until this point, It was because of Voldemort his parents were dead, It was because of Dumbledore he grew up in Dursley hell, and he now felt here was a clear path, purpose filled him and he would walk in the direction he was presented with. Harry spoke up "I will become, a true member of the most ancient and noble house of Black. "

Orion smiled gleefully, he called the house elf Kreacher to prepare the ritual chamber. Moments later Orion with the aid of the old elf, along with Sirius and Harry entered a room with a stone basin in the center below it runes and symbols carved all around the floor.

Orion had told them to begin. The runes began to glow as Harry and Sirius stepped forward in front of the basin, Sirius took the ceremonial knife that was inside it and cut his palm pouring his blood into the basin, Harry took the knife when handed it and pricked his finger as that was all the blood required from him, and let the drops fall into the basin mixing with Sirius's blood, the red fluid began to glow and swirl within the bowl , Orion begain to speak to officiate the ritual. 

"DO YOU SIRIUS ORION BLACK, ACCEPT THIS CHILD AS YOUR SON IN BOTH BLOOD AND MAGIC?"

" I DO" Sirius responded, Orion continued this time to Harry.

"DO YOU HARRY JAMES POTTER ACCEPT THIS MAN TO BE YOUR FATHER IN BLOOD AND MAGIC, RENOUNCING YOUR OLD LIFE AND BE REBORN IN THE HOUSE OF BLACK?"

"I DO" Harry called out as the magical energy swirled around them making everything feel heavy. The ritual was almost complete so Orion felt it was time to finish this.

"HARRY POTTER IS DEAD TO THIS WORLD,IN HIS DEATH HADRIAN SIRIUS BLACK IS BORN, SON OF SIRIUS ORION BLACK HEIR TO THE MOST ANCIENT AND NOBLE HOUSE OF BLACK, SO MOTE BE IT!"

In that moment, the blood in the basin had turned into pure light and dove into the boy formerly known as Harry Potter, in that moment his scar bursted open with a blood colered smoke ejecting out of it the smoke wore the face of Voldemort in pain before disappearing, as the ritual continued healing Hadrian as it rewote his DNA overwriting The blood of James Potter and replacing it with Sirius's blood, this had changed many things about Harry, His skin became paler, his hair less messy,his cheek bones became higher, his vision became corrected no longer needing his glasses, the only thing of his former looks that remained was his Black hair and his bright green eyes. Once completed, Hadrian collapsed into his new father's arms, Orion now filled with more strength than ever before as the ritual had healed him and his son as well, both knew it was time to plan for the future. Not knowing at this moment hundreds of miles away, At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Harry Potter's name had been crossed out from the Book of Admissions, and A new name had appeared Hadrian Sirius Black, and in Dumbledore's office all tracking increments for Harry Potter immediately exploded, The aged headmaster was horrified by this it usually meant that the person it tracked was killed by extremely powerful magic, he quickly went to the Book of Admissions, before checking personally, he found Harry Potter's name crossed out that only happens when that individual no longer exist, he quickly apperated to the home of the Dursley's only to see the police and other authorities removing the dead bodies of Petunia and Vernon Dursley, with a crying Dudley to the side.

At this moment Albus Dumbledore felt like his worst fears had been realized and he could not begin to figure out how, what made it all the more tragic it today was the 31st of July Harry Potter's 5th birthday. 

Little did the headmaster know Strange and Mysterious things would soon be happening as a new legend has just been born.
