42 End of the First Wizarding War

"Puuffff"

"Ohh come, not on me Prongs" Remus hastily began to wipe butterbeer from his face.

"Not now Moony, later you can spit on me as much as you want. So Sirius tell us the whole story, what happened, What's her name"

"I don't know her name," Sirius said in embarrassment.

"What do you mean you mean you don't know her name" Remus exclaimed.

"It is exactly what it sounds like, I don't know her name or where she lives until I meet her today."

"So you impregnated a woman whose name you don't even know. How did it even happen?"

"It was only supposed to be a one night stand"

"Sigh...anyway what did that woman say about it," said James with a sigh.

"She wanted to abort it"

"Please don't tell me you are thinking of aborting the child," Lily said.

"Of course not, Even though I don't like taking responsibilities on my shoulder, I am not that low to kill my own blood. After hours of convincing her, I told her that I will keep that child and no one has to know about."

Everyone stared at him in disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that. Even though I despise my lunatic family, that doesn't mean I hate my own blood. I am the first Black to ever get sorted into Gryffindor you know. I will never raise my child, like those lunatics raised me, I will raise him or her into a pure Gryffindor."

After a brief silence, James said.

"Padfoot when did you became so mature".

"Fuck you Prongs"

Blair was wondering what he was even doing here. He just silently listened to their conversation.

'I have nothing else to do anyway, Aurora will be sleeping right now'

31 October, 1981.

Due to light and darks sides fighting a Diplomatic war in the ministry, there were rarely any Death eater attacks. Things weren't looking good for the light side. Voldemort had again begun to gain influence in the Ministry. It was filled with spies, No one trusted anyone anymore.

As for Blair, He would rarely go outside the estate, He had stopped going out to hunt bounties or hunting any death eaters. He would be with Aurora all day long in the garden. A smile that he has forgotten years ago had finally begun to resurface. Even though the whole wizarding world was in chaos, His life was peaceful.

Sirius was now a father of a pair of twins. The mother took 20000 Gallons worth of muggle currency for not aborting the twins. Sirius could afford it anyway, He received quite a sum of money from his disowned uncle. Just a few months later after the twins birth, James Potter and Lily Potter had a son.

Blair became what can be called friends with James, Sirius and the Prewett twins. They would go out drinking every Saturday. It seems like his life has finally came back to track.

Aurora's existence was still unknown to the world. Other then Snape, The Goblin and Gridlewald no knew about her. He hadn't told anyone about her and he would prefer it that way until the war is over. He didn't want a bounty on a 1-year-old child because of him.

Blair had also begun to visit the Muggle world, He would some times go to muggle bar with his friends. His drinking habit has lessened significantly after Olivia's rebirth.

Right now he was drinking in a bar alone all by himself. All of his friends were celebrating Halloween at their houses. As he was about to finish his 2nd glass, he heard a bird song which he hasn't heard for years.

He quickly took out the order coin and looked at its backside.

POTTER COTTAGE GODRIC HOLLOWS

He quickly placed a 20 pound note on the counter and rushed at a remote area before apparating away.

His eyes widen in rage as soon as he saw the sight in front of him. At least 30 death eaters were standing in front of a house that was supposed to be under Fidelius Charm.

'How did they found out where the house was'.

"Ohh shit it's the Mudblood"

"Hold him for a few minutes, Master will soon finish his work. After that, he can personally deal with this Mudblood."

Blair blood ran cold as soon as he heard that Voldemort was personally here. Now he was really was worried about his friend.

'Not Again' he saw a few flashbacks of Olivia and how he failed to protect her.

Without even thinking for a second he took out his wand and make a circular motion. Black flames began to spew out of his wand creating a large firestorm around himself before transforming into a Basilisk. The Basilisk slithered forwards towards its enemy, 8 Death eaters who were in the very front got annihilated the moment the Basilisk touched them. Others quickly formed a protective dome around themselves but still lost 5 more death eaters. The only survivors were the death eaters in white masks.

'The Inner circle'

70℅ of Voldemort's inner circle was present here. Fortunately, Bellatrix was not in the group, It would have been difficult to deal with the death eaters, if she was here.

As both of the sides were about to perform their own attacks the upper floor of the potter cottage exploded with a bang. stone and wood flying everywhere, Some of them even hit Blair.

The death eaters suddenly clutched their arms.

"Ahhhh, my hand"

"The mark disappeared"

"Quick retreat"

They began to disapparate quickly.

Blair ignored them and quickly rushed towards the entrance. Horror awaited him as soon as he entered the house. Body of one of his few friends was lying on the floor. There were multiple wounds on his body, his round glasses cracked and his black eyes wide open. He didn't go down without a fight.

Blair knew his friend was dead as soon as he saw the body. He slowly closed his friend's eyes before rushing upward to see if his friend's wife and child survived or not. Unfortunately Lily also didn't survive. Her son was crying while sitting in a cradle by his mother's dead body. There was a familiar creepy white wand and Black silk cloth lying near his feet. Blair recognised both of the items. Blair could still feel that bastard's magic from the white wand.

He looked at the child before picking him up and walking out of the house. He was going to return here after handing the child to Dumbledore. He raised his wand and instantly a Blue bus stop in front of him.

"Welcome to Knight Bus, Where do you want to go" The conductor said while reading his newspapers.

"Hogsmeade"

"3 Gallons".

"I have a child with me," Blair said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

The conductor then looked at him.

"You..." His voice stuttered, as soon as he saw the demolished house behind him.

"4 Gallons, Quick come inside, They might attack again"

Blair didn't say anything else, he boarded the bus. He didn't notice a Greasy haired death eater rushing inside the house.

10 Minutes later

Blair was standing in front of Hogs Head. He had already called Dumbledore. There were only 4 people inside the pub. Dumbledore brothers, McGonagall and Hagrid.

"What happened?" Dumbledore asked gravely.

"Voldemort attacked the potters, James and Lily...Only their son survived." He handed the child to Albus Dumbledore who was standing beside the crying Hagrid.

"What about Voldemort," Dumbledore asked. While handing the child to McGonagall.

"I think he is dead I only found his rob and wand laying near Lily."

"I will go verify it myself. Blair, please come with me" With that, both of them apparated away.

An hour later, noises of the firecracker could be heard all over the wizarding world.

'The Dark Lord has been killed by Harry James Potter, The Boy who Lived'

People were celebrating everywhere. The celebration was expected. After nearly a decade of terror, the war has finally ended.

Whereas everyone was celebrating, Blair was sitting in his library drinking glass after glass of liquor. He lost two of his friends in the span of hours, One died due to the betrayal of the other one. Sirius Black had betrayed the Potters. He was arrested when he was killing 14 Muggles and his other friend Peter Pettigrew, while shouting

'I killed them'.
