18 Sirius Black

The twins follow Professor McGonagall

"We did something wrong ?"whisper Harry

"No, everything is fine, If I am not wrong, we will meet someone we didn't see for a long time" mysteriously said Alexander

____________

At the office of Dumbledore only a man was here, pale, weak, thin, ravaged by time but still remain handsome. I present Sirius Black.

When he saw people entering the Office he stood up quickly.

"Harry, Alexander may I present your Godfather Sirius Black" said Professor McGonagall with a happy smile.

Awkward silence, Alexander just smile saying nothing, Harry still taking the news and Sirius not knowing what to say. But a man-up and look at Harry.

With the smile he said "You have the eyes of your mother and as handsome as your father"

Harry start to have mist in his eyes feeling happy

Sirius then turn himself toward Alexander " I can't say that your eyes nor hairs are the same at you mother because they are way more dazzling but you have the smile of your mother"

'No wonder every time I smile Snape froze... Wait I hope he will not do something shameful...' Alexander shudder at this idea.

Sirius walking closely toward the twins wanting to hug them but he didn't how they would react.

Alexander seeing this just smile and move forward hugging Sirius. Following the exemple of his brother he give a hug to but more stiff

Professor McGonagall looking at this touching reunion was crying quietly.

Then to install a good mood Alexander ask the story about Sirius and his Father.

While drinking tea, Sirius start to talk about his adventures with James and Lupin.

After a few hours and many disproving from Professor McGonagall he finally finish his story. With the time, the awkwardness slowly disappear between the twins and Sirius.

"Well that's a good part of it, I have still many story about your father but I would like to listen at Alexander because i want to know how he find the truth."

"Well, it's start like this..." Alexander then start to retelling his story.

Time quickly pass when you are enjoying the moment, soon Harry & Alexander will have to go sleep...

"Then what's happen now ?" ask Harry, yes he ask a crucial question, since his Godfather is free, should he still live with the Dursley ?

Before Sirius could say something Alexander start talking.

"Well, with Sirius of course, as long he is willing."

"No you can't" said Professor McGonagall with a sad face.

"Why ?" ask Harry with tears in his eyes

"It's complicated..."

"In fact, it's not. You see Harry, the only reason we stay at the Dursley house is to feed the powerful protection that mother put on you."

"What protection ?"

"It's called [Sacrificial protection] it's an ancient, powerful, and long-lasting counter-charm.

This charm unlike others has no incantation and is endowed when one person whom we will call "the victim" ultimately sacrifices his or her own life willingly and out of deep and pure love to save the life of one or more people refer as "beneficiaries".

When the person to make the sacrifice dies, the counter-charm is so powerful that the murderer can not physically touch the intended victim, as the protection lives on in their veins. Also, any spells cast on the beneficiaries wear off quickly.

If the victim was related to the beneficiary, then a powerful charm known as the bond of blood can be cast upon the beneficiary to give them additional protection. This charm prevents any harm from coming to the beneficiary from the murderer while they are in a blood-related relative's home.

However, in order for this charm's power to take effect, the living blood-relative must first take the saved person into their home willingly. Once activated, this bond of blood will prevent harm from coming to the beneficiary when they are in their relative's home but it will break automatically when the saved person moves out permanently or turns seventeen."

After making his speech Alexander drink a lot of tea because of his dry mouth and continu

"But, there is a loophole in this charm, me ! I have a Eidetic memory so I remember everything happen in my life even the death of my parents" he look sad for a moment before smiling again.

"So before being taking away by Hagrid this night I put you in the same blanket as me thus creating a "Home". Now as long as you live with me in the same place, the protection will remain active... Of course if you have doubt, ask Professor Dumbledore."

And it's on this happy note that they separate themselves will hoping of a new home together...
