Breakthrough

In the training room in the Black Manor, Tiberius has finished his daily exercise and his magical training. Now he was training his Force Lightning.

It was growing in strength and was becoming faster and deadlier.

Arcturus watched Tiberius train and soon realised that he was reaching the second stage in his Dark Awakening.

Tiberius was a potential heir for Arcturus. He was similar to him in every way possible.

Walburga, after hearing about the duel between Tiberius and Zack, saw Tiberius as a worthy heir for Arcturus.

She also believed he could succeed where Voldemort failed. Arcturus watched as Tiberius grew in power. He was proud of him.

Soon, when Tiberius is old enough, it would be time for him to hear the truth of who he really was.

MC POV

Lightning kept sprouting from my fingertips towards the training dummies. It was getting stronger, and I could feel it.

My hands started feeling a powerful sensation that began to spread to my entire body.

When my entire body felt the sensation, my Force Lightning got more intense, and a purple light engulfed me.

When the light faded, my hands were flowing purple, and soon, the purple light disappeared.

I raised my right hand a used Force Lightning again, this time rather than blue lightning, the colour was now purple.

My Force Lightning was now stronger. I heard the footsteps of Arcturus. He looked impressed.

"Well done, Tiberius, you have reached the second stage of your Dark Awakening. We will now test your lightning on another muggle."

Kreacher appeared with a muggle. The guy was a journalist who believed in justice and Karma.

He was tied up, and his mouth was covered up by a cloth. I raised my hands and used Force Lightning on him.

He writhed in pain and was becoming charred. I increased the intensity to the fullest, which instantly killed the guy.

The corpse was charred, and Kreacher got rid of the body with a click of his fingers. He bowed, then left.

So this is the second stage in my Dark Awakening, now there's one more stage for me to reach.

I remembered a key information about the third stage in Dark Awakening.

It states that in the third stage, the person can kill a Dementor.

Speaking of dementors, in the third year, there were Demetors searching for Sirius Black.

In this timeline, Sirius is innocent, and Peter Pettigrew is on the run.

I should learn the patronus charm just in case there are Dementors in Hogwarts during my third year.

"Grandfather, may I learn the Patronus Charm."

Arcturus raised an eyebrow but nodded.

Later, he told me to focus on a memory of where I was happy, I spoke the incantation.

"Expecto Patronum."

A bright light appeared from my wand as I focused on my positive memories.

Memories of when I got good test results due to continuous studying and how I became successful as well as when I made my bio weapons.

The light started forming into a Hydra, Arcturus looked impressed by my patronus.

"Very impressive, you have successfully casted the Patronus Charm for the first time. I would love to chat more, but it's already dark. Go to bed."

I did as he asked and went to bed. Slowly, I drifted off to sleep.

POV END

Arcturus POV

Once more, Tiberius has impressed me. I remember the day I met him, he was a quiet and shy boy.

He would also cry himself to sleep due to his parents abandoning him.

Tiberius was like this for a long time, but he changed. He was in the libary, reading all the books and experimenting with his powers.

And much to my shock, Tiberius went through a dark awakening at the age of six

His apathy towards his family was what caught my attention. He made me laugh when he made fun of Sirius.

Then Tiberius showed his prowess in Wandless Magic by breaking the leg of his father and went back to eating.

His newfound personality gave me hope that there was still hope for the Black family to continue prospering.

My hope grew when Tiberius achieved top marks in all his classes, and he never wavered in his path to power.

Even when he was beaten badly by me during our spars, Tiberius kept getting back up and never gave up.

His mastery over Fiendfyre at such a young age reminds me of myself a bit.

Back when I was younger, I was ambitious and cunning. I used whatever methods I saw fit to achieve my goals.

Tiberius is the exact same as me, but he wants more than just the title of Lord Black.

His hunger for power far surpasses mine, I am proud for him to be a member of my family.

I thought back to Ariana Dumbledore. She was a beautiful girl who was talented in magic.

I disguised myself as a young, handsome man and seduced Ariana in a pub.

And she had quite the stamina in bed, Ariana lasted far longer than any of my other lovers.

I didn't use protection, so Ariana got pregnant. I revealed the truth of who I was, and Dumbledore was angry.

We had a duel that I won due to my skill in the Dark Arts being unmatched.

What surprised me was that Ariana chose to keep the baby, saying that she would teach them how to be a good person.

Unfortunately for her, after she gave birth to our son, I killed her and took the child.

I made it seem her death was because of childbirth, and the baby died alongside her.

From then on, Dumbledore hated even and saw me as someone worse than Voldemort.

I looked to Tiberius, who was training with his lightning. His current level is that of an Elite Auror.

Soon, it will be time for me to pass away, and Tiberius will have to survive without me, I will make sure he is prepared by then.
