Chp 4
Don't you 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 you about our family secret, one of my ancestors made a spell that can determine passable heirs for the heirship, the past, to be exact. In 1740, the house nearly ended when a muggle attack killed nearly all alive heirs after a gathering of the house of black. Only the head of the house was alive because he was late for the event. Scared that the house would end with him, Orion black first tried to invent a new spell to determine his heir for his house; it took him nearly five years to invent it while at the same time, he used the family magic to help him invent the spell." Arcturus said
Melania asked," wait, the family magic has a
Conscience?"
Arcturus" yes, nearly every family magic is conscience and different from each other. With every generation, the family magic grows more robust because it takes the magic from any newborn born in the specific family but in small quantities. While it takes some of his magic, it will give him strengthening. The older the house, the more gift the family magic gives the specific house, which is why the more ancient the house, the more respect it has."
Then he continues, " when he finished the spell, he tried it, and he found that one of the heirs was married secretly and had two male sons. He went to check if the spell reading was correct. When he went to find his wife to ask her, he found that the spell worked perfectly. Then he chose the older one to succeed him and then made a contract with another nearly extinct house because it had only female heirs. For the younger son, he then made the younger brother's descendent a branch for the family, but after 100 years, the branch married into the main house."
" so you will cast the spell now," she said eagerly, as she had never seen family spells from her family
" yes, but you must go out of the room. Only the lord of the house must do it alone," he said
" Why I just swore in my magic that I won't divulge any information," Melania said
" I know, but I let you swear only to tell you about the spell, but I can't show you how to do it and how it will be done because it is a family secret only the heir should know how to do it, and when the heir is disinherited he must be obliviated in the same time to keep the family magic a secret."
" FINE. If you found any eligible heir, tell me" then she went out.
After she went out, I cast multiple spells in the room to check if there were any monitors. When I saw the room was clear, I went to the main desk and Said, "ostendit mihi grimoire," then inserted my finger with the lord ring in a keyhole. After a few minutes, a secret door opened. I went inside it. When I entered, I saw the secret that any heir received when he ascended to be the lord
And the secret IS the family grimoire. Every house gave a grimoire that included all family magic, and every invented spell the house members created was included inside the grimoire. After I saw it, I went to open it, but before I opened it, I pricked my finger to spray some blood into the book. After I checked that I could finally open it, I began searching for the spell I wanted. While searching, I found some exciting magic that I could use, but I delayed learning it and returned to my search. A few months passed, and I found the spell that I wanted. I read the requirements, which needed one paper to write the results. After I brought the paper, I cast the spell
"Oh, the great Siri found me, my heirs."
" note: LOL, JUST KIDDING."
" I, Arcturus Cyrus black the third, call my family magic to find my most suitable heirs for my lordship," then I cast " aptissime heredes."
In the paper and some names popped out

After a few minutes of nearly getting a heart attack, " how the f I got great-grandson? I must investigate" he checked the family book to see The ALEXIS guy, the grandson from which child of his.
When he arrived at his daughter Lucretia Prewitt's née black name, he saw a name wasn't there when he checked it the last time, so she must hide her from us. I must ask her, then he went and sent a message to his daughter to come to the black manor immediately, then he sent it by an owl.
After a few hours, he felt his ward alarming him of a visitor. After he went to his office to find his daughter sitting in the office, I said, " hello, daughter, welcome to my office."
She drawled, " father, why did you summon me."
" oh, you are still mad about that thing, never mind. I just found some interesting news in the family book."
As I said that, I saw her beginning to tense up. I continued," I found YOU LIED TO ME ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER dying."
She said tensely," how did you find out I cast the fidelues charm in this information."
"My dear daughter, you must know every spell has a weakness. For example, if a head of an ancient family cast a spell to find a specific thing, he can break any spell that can prevent the information if his family members cast the spell," I said
"Why…." she said
Before she continued talking, " you know that your idiotic brother and his idiot's son were killed and disinherited his other son."
" yes, father, I know. I read the news."
" as you know, I must find an heir because I am not getting younger. Before that, I invoke the daughter of the black vow."
She said, " it must be big news or a family secret if you invoked it as the vow is a vow of secrecy that every daughter of black must take before she gets married."
" yes, it is. In our family, we have a spell that can see available heirs. When I did the spell, it broke your beforehand spell," I said
" that is why, " she said
" Now, let's return to our subject. Why did you lie to your family and me about your daughter."
She answered him while tears were coming from her eyes," father, I wanted to keep my daughter safe sob after the war when I got pregnant. I saw uncle Monty and his wife, aunt mia, assassinated by the acolytes. I had a few experiences with it, as I nearly died from them. I got scared. I knew they would not stop until they assassinated my daughter to get their revenge on you, so I sealed her magic and casted fidlues spell and obliviated the healers. Then I took the most difficult discussion in my life, and I still regret it. I left my daughter in an orphanage, but after a few years, when I returned to her, I didn't find her " that is when Lucretia began crying
As I heard this, I said, " it isn't your fault. If I didn't enter the war, you would still have your daughter, sorry daughter, it's all my fault," I said while to the first time. I begin crying
" It's not your fault, father. If you didn't enter the war, Grindelwald would not be defeated," she said
After a few minutes, we calmed down. She asked me, " did the spell help you find this heir?"
" yes, three, to be exact. Narcissa's son, the Potter boy, and a grandson of a daughter of the house of black, before you ask, I don't know which daughter, and he is most eligible to be my heir because he doesn't follow any faction and that good for us." Arcturus Replied
" ok, father, do you need to ask me anything else?" She asked
" no, there isn't anything else you can go. I will also go investigate the mysterious heir." Arcturus replied mysteriously
" ok, father, if you find anything, send me an owl."
End of flashback
"That's how I found you," Arcturus said
