———————————————————————————

Alexis" you are a lord for which Nobel house ?"

He grinned" I am the lord of most Nobel and ancient house of… black, oh I didn't say my name. My name is lord Arcturus Black III. Your great grandfather."

Alexis was speechless" how…"; his mother was a descendent of the noblest and ancient house of BLACK. And then a question came to his mind

" grandpa, why was my mother abandoned?"

Arcturus replied," you must know when she was born in 1950 to my daughter. Your grandmother hid because we were not safe because of the Great War or, as muggles call it, the second world war. I was one of the main enemies of Grindelwald. And I was one of the reasons he had fallen when my brother-in-law Charles Potter and I severely injured him near his prison, but he fled inside. After a few hours, we heard he was defeated by dumbledore. While he was healing from his injuries, he ambushed him. He also took full credit for beating him without mentioning us" as he was saying in the last sentence, he was grinding his teeth.

Alexis got annoyed " you didn't answer me. Why did my mother was abandoned."

Arcturus" I was coming to that. But his high leveled followers, who were named " acolytes," knew the truth and wanted to avenge their master, so they began trying to assassinate our families to get their revenge. They succeeded in attempts to kill Charles's father, Henry Potter, his older brother fleomont, and the wife of his brother Euphemia Potter, so when my daughter got pregnant, she didn't say it to anyone, even me. After your mother got born, she named her Dara Melania Prewitt- black and, to keep her safe, lied to us that her daughter, your mother died at birth, and she sealed her magic away and sent her to an orphanage. But after five years, most acolytes were either killed or captured. So she went to get her daughter back but found the orphanage was burned down by someone one year prior."

Alexis was confused as his past self knew that Arcturus black the third only had two children, Orion black and Lucretia black. His son Orion married Walburga black and had two children Sirius black, aka Padfoot, and regulus black. And his daughter married Ignatius prew…, oh so she is his maternal grandmother, he was happy that his mother had parents. To show that he was unaware of who his grandparents were, he asked, "Grandpa, what are my grandparents' names? Are they still alive? Do I have any uncles?

" oh, you seem eager to meet them? Yes, they still live, and their name is Lucretia Prewitt née black, your grandmother, my daughter, and lord Ignatius Prewitt. Lord of most ancient and Nobel house of Prewitt, and no, you don't have uncles," Arcturus said

Alexis, " you just said that my grandpa is a lord. Did he choose his heir yet?."

Arcturus" no, I don't know, other lords don't interfere in other lord's business."

Alexis" ok, I want to ask a few more questions. Did my grandmother know about my mother still being alive, and did she lie to my grandfather too, when she lied to you about my mother's death when she was born? "

He replied," no, I didn't tell her about her daughter being alive yet. Yes, I believe she even lied to her husband about your mother, as he was devastated when she told him and was depressed for a few years, but he recovered when he got his lordship from his father after he passed away".

Alexis " wait a moment. If my grandmother didn't tell you the truth, how did you know about my mother being alive and me ?"

He said, " oh, about that…."

Flashback ( Arcturus POV)

He just woke up and began reading the newspapers. He heard his wife, Melania black née Macmillan," what are you doing? Get ready. We will meet Pollux's granddaughter Narcissa Malfoy and her husband, Lucius Malfoy."

He replied," oh no, I don't want to meet that peacock, Lucius. I know what he wants. He wants to make his son my heir. I will not leave my house to a ferret."

Melania" he is not bad, but I admit his son looks like a ferret. On another note, did you choose your heir after Orion's death ?"

" I would choose Sirius as my heir, but I must meet him personally to discuss the heirship. But he is not replying to my letters. If not for the b*** Walburga, torturing him, we would already finish the heirship fiasco."

As he was saying it, he saw the newspaper title that shocked him. And it was

" SIRIUS BLACK, the mass murderer, is also the true

traitor of Potters?".

" We just confirmed it, Sirius, a hero who saved st mongo when he confronted who must be named his partner James Potter the heir apparent of most Nobel and ancient house of Potter. It was just confirmed that Has not only betrayed the potters, but he also killed 13 people and his friend Peter Pettigrew. And was found by Aurors in the ground mumbling incoherent words, as he is now residing in Azkaban….."

At this, he stopped reading the newspaper he started to yell, " this stupid boy didn't listen to me when I warned him to stop searching for the traitor and let him rot in Azkaban for killing innocent people.".

As he was shouting, Melania came fast and asked, "what is the problem, and why are you shouting" he replied angrily, " your stupid grandson happened. He killed innocent people." Melania answered," why do you care? He killed just some muggles and a weak wizard".

" you don't know every family or house has rules. One of our rules is he must be pure of heart, and if he is killed, his heart will get defiled, and he will lose his eligibility to be the next heir. This is why I am the head, not my older brother Pollux. Another example is lord Voldemort. He should be lord Slytherin, but he isn't because he must break a rule from his family rule book."

As she pondered how she could calm her husband down, " why did your ancestors put this kind of rule? " he replied," this is an ancient family secret. Still, I will tell you our family is the true descendants of Rowena Ravenclaw, from her only daughter Helena Ravenclaw. As you know about her story, the bloody baron killed her because she didn't love, which is true. Still, there is more to this story. When she ran from home, she met someone she loved, a muggle called Felis Blackson, and they had a child named Cyrus Blackson. When her son was two, he contracted a lethal magical disease that she knew how to cure, but one of the ingredients was in Albania. You know the rest of the story, she told him she was married and had a child he got angry and killed her. After a few years, her son got older, and when he was 11 years old, he was invited to Hogwarts, and he was sorted l in Ravenclaw, oh I forgot to tell you the name of the grey lady is Helena Ravenclaw."

Melania was shocked" so when he joined his mother ghost recognized him then she talked with him ?"

Arcturus replied, " not exactly, but yes, but she talked with him when he was 15 and told him how she died. After he heard her, he vowed that no descendent of his would-be wicked, but he meant the head of the family. Then she helped him to make a family magic for his descendants, and from then, lords black was also lord Ravenclaw, but they didn't announce it to anyone, and if people knew about it, all houses of black would get exterminated."

She asked," what will you do? Our line will end if we don't do something about it!!!!!" And she continued, "now there aren't any more heirs, only the Malfoys."

He replied," on my dead cold, scared body, I won't leave my legacy to that enslaved person or his ferret son and don't worry, I will fix I have some spells that can help us with our problems."

" What kind of spell are you talking about?" She asked him,

" my ancestors made plans for this kind of problem. They made a spell that only lord will, and his wife must make an unbreakable vow not to tell anybody or anything; before I continue, you must vow," he said

" you don't trust me?, FINE I Will swear, I swear in my life and magic I won't divulge any information given to me by my husband Arcturus black the third lord of the ancient and most noble house of black so mote it," she said

" now I can tell about our family secret, one of my ancestors made a spell that can determinate....
