Lord Black Pt 3

Present Time-

Hadrian was a one hundred and thirty-year-old man who was savouring his last dinner as he liked to think about it while thinking about his childhood. After the Blacks took Tom's piece out of their person, they dedicated themselves completely to many things.

Cassiopea and Arcthurus were the people who were hard on him but showed a high level of affection. They were proud and liked to talk about how I progressed. He didn't know until years later that it made them feel proud and that they felt that they could look their sister and grandfather in the face for having managed to raise him properly. Apparently they had a healthy fear of failing them.

Ted taught him a very important art. The art of manipulation. Like Huffelpuff, no one expected Ted Tonks to act like a Slytherin. Like a snake, he knew how to move among people without attracting attention. I knew how to wait for the opportunity. And he knew how to hit.

Ted Tonks was the closest thing to a father he had. He was a man who treasured. And it was his wife's father who was saying something. Man inspired him to be better and to know how to survive. He was one of the people who affected him the most on a day-to-day basis and to whom he asked for advice when it came to rather personal matters of a male nature.

Andromeda Tonks was the perfect mother. Loving. Affectionate. But first of all I teach him many things that had to do with an upbringing of knowing how to move among pure-blood circles. Where Ted taught him the subtle art of manipulating and using as a lawyer, Andromeda taught him as a true pure blood. Lessons that helped him survive when he took the mantle of Lord Black and immediately earned the respect of many because unlike many people he did not demand, he did not command and he was certainly not so idiotic as to think that the name is enough to get him out of everything.

Melania Black was the grandmother. Always affectionate. Always kind. And always willing to listen and give advice on certain topics. He lost Melania when a man tried to kill them all with an attack. She gave her life to stop Fiendfyre what spoke well of her. But it was his actions that taught him a very valuable lesson.

When you have an enemy you are not kind. You're not nice. You don't play faire. You're the bastard of bastards and you finish them off with all the strength available. You hit where more damage can be done no matter what. Because if a person is willing to hurt your heart, why should you be different about it? That was his grandmother's lesson and he treasured it all his life.

Hadrian had grown up knowing that he had enemies. There were many people who hated the Black family. For the so-called revolutionaries or on the side of the light it was because the Black family defended the old traditions. It involved following Lady Morrigan as a patron goddess. After all, she was the goddess of war, magic and death that were three definitive aspects of the life of any magical being.

They defended Lady Morrigan and worshipped her. There was no better way to describe it anyway and Hadrian could never think of anything else to say about her since as a patron goddess it was obvious that they would never disappoint her. Although it is also true that they believed in nemesis who attracted to what was karma. Needless to say, the light side hated them a lot for that.

Then there were the traditional ones or the dark faction. The traditional ones were in a nutshell pure-blood families that supposedly defended the ideas of yesteryear. Supposedly. What they really defended were rights that Hadrian did not find comfortable in the least. Hunting muggle-borns (because hunting muggles was boring), avoiding progress and many things.

With Arcthurus in his position of Lord Black, multiple new ventures flourished that guaranteed the power of the Black family in many ways but that involved born Muggles and mestizos. Needless to say, that didn't make many people happy.

Then there was the neutral faction. This faction was the one who advocated the progress of magic but without losing the way of traditions. Needless to say, that earned a look of annoyance from many of the so-called two sides. For the light side traditions were dead or useless and for the dark ones progress was not necessary.

I didn't mean that they got along with the Black family because in the end the Black family was getting absolutely rich as they did. It was a more than obvious thing that no one could deny and that earned the anger of many of the neutrals.

Hadrian grew up travelling the world. Unlike many wizards and witches, both Arcthurus and Cassiopea efficiently recognised that magic was diverse. What they never expected was that the biggest impact on Hadrian's life was Marius Black. No matter what anyone says and no matter what no one thought Marius was the person who most affected Hadrian by showing him possibly the most dangerous thing you could show a magician: science.

Honestly, both older magicians looked at their brother with looks clearly annoyed by the fact of what he had done but he only shrugged his shoulders saying that it was not his fault.

Science is the rules of the universe. That's what a Muggle would say. For even magician are the forces. And after showing Hadrian how the different forces of the cosmos worked, the expected impact arrived. Magic is the ability to alter reality and understand the world. With that of his hand Hadrian began what was obviously a path that would make him the most powerful sorcerer and to create possibly the most powerful magical dynasty of all.

However, one of his most effective memories was when he was forced to return to Great Britain and fight for his right as Lord Black. Whater they say, human stupidity had to be accepted as a factor. At the age of seventeen, his grandfather Lord Acthurus died peacefully in bed. He had left a will and everything but an unscrupulous man thinking he had the right to be the one who deserved it.

Hadrian would calmly remember the day he was formally introduced to the magical society of Great Britain and how disappointed he was with magical Europe because of how stagnant they were compared to other groups of magicians.

It was also for a simple reason. Rumours had come to him that Voldemort had gotten up again. Some would say it wasn't their problem and they would normally agree. It wasn't his problem to have to settle what was a nuisance. But then he remembered that Ted his beloved uncle could be a target which was totally unacceptable.

His grandfather Marius had already passed to the other life but his children and grandchildren could be a white person, something he would not tolerate either. Many things could be said about Hadrian but what was to earn his enmity was a great no as a certain blonde-haired magician would discover when he came up with the brilliant idea of trying to usurp a line.

Hadrian savoured the wine. I wouldn't deny it. He delighted in violence or rather in punishment. It was from Rival as much as it was really from Lady Magic. Nemesis invites to retribution each action will always have a reaction. Lady Magic on the other hand made him strong, powerful and capable. No one could argue with that. Lucius Malfoy and Malfoy's now extinct house knew that perfectly.

"My son Draco is the only pure-blood heir of the Black family. He is therefore and therefore the only heir available to occupy the position of Lord Black with the death of the distinguished Lord Arcthurus. So the presumption of Albus Dumbledore to think that he can say that Sirius Orion Black rejected family member is in a nutshell the future lord is a mistake.'' Lucius Malfoy smiled. The power was close to his hand.

"I'm sorry to disagree but from the magical point of view Sirius Orion Black is the only possible heir. First of all, he is the son of Lord Arcthurus' heir, also called Orion. He is the heir of this man since although it is true that he was taken out of the family he was never repudiated proof of it is that he can use Black's magic can we say the same about your son Draco?''. Albus Dumbledore did not intend to leave all the power of the Black family that was getting smaller on both sides in Voldemort's hands.

"This is your word Dumbledore however Lord Sirius does not respect the rules or laws of the Black family. My wife Narcissa has respected and taken care of my son by educating him for the day he became Lord Black. On the other hand, Sirius not only rejects the family but does not respect their sacred laws. Why should we obviously respect his new title or anything?''. Lucius saw that both neutrals and the faction were on his side.

"My word is that we are talking about stripping a person of his family legacy just because he did not agree with the rules I tried to follow in his life. In the end, each person must choose their own path to decide how to live it. It's not you. It's not even me. Nor is it anyone else who must decide how his path is so I don't see why we have to listen to your word when it is obvious that by blood Sirius' claim is stronger''. Dumbledore smiled knowing that he had made things difficult for the dark faction.

However, before nothing and anyone could follow, the light in the room began to fade. It was a surprising thing since it was light created by magic. Everyone was about to say something when a strange black portal began to form. Portals were an ancient form of travel that was incredibly complicated. An unprecedented mastery of magic was needed. Or possibly it was needed in a few words a person who knows the space-time factor and has enough magic to make it happen.

When the portal stabilised, a young man entered through it. I had to be seventeen years old. She wore an elegant black suit with a gray shirt and a black tie. On top of that he was wearing an expensive coat. What surprised many were the emerald green eyes. In fact, there were several people who were speechless, more a centenary magician than anyone else.

"I hope there is a strong reason why the wills of Lord Arcthurus Black, lord of Black's house, have not been read and this body has gone directly to fight like a pair of carrion birds. I don't think it's good for his reputation.'' Hadrian advanced calmly with a step rather in tranquillity but with eyes that looked at each person in the room.

"How dare you just present yourself before this body?" The one who spoke was a woman who seemed to be a combination of person and toad. She spoke in a sickly way and as if demanding respect.

That was a mistake because at that moment all the magical presence of Hadrian that had been throwing himself at everyone in the room focussed on her. Everyone saw how Dolores Umbridge, a woman who everyone knew was a complete witch, shuddered with fear and tried to hide but nothing defended her. Everyone wanted to avoid being in the crosshairs of the magician who had appeared because they knew he was powerful.

"Who I am is a very important question that requires knowing first that I am but let's go first to the important Cornelius Fudge. I think you know better than anyone about inheritance laws since as a Minister of Magic you have obviously been taught about the hereditary positions of the Wizengamot. I'm sorry to say this but what is the reason why you ignored the release of a will?''. Hadrian enjoyed how the so-called magic minister shuddered with fear.

"I'm sorry, but well, since there were only two possible candidates for the position of Lord Black, this session was called immediately to solve it." Cornelius was shaking. What exactly was going on here?

"Then this body decided that for no reason. And without justification it was perfectly fine to ignore the sacred laws that agree to form this government to discuss like spoiled brats who or who has the right to something. The last time I checked it, the laws are mandatory to comply with and missing them means spending time in Azkaban. If that's true, does it mean that each of those present should spend time in prison?''. Hadrian laughed when he saw all the nobles of the Wizengamot shudder.

"Sir, I understand that this may be exaggerated, but one would think that this is important. The Black family is a pillar and we had to try.'' Lord Selwyn tried to talk off-duty and was rewarded with unbearable pain. Everyone shuddered with fear. In anyone's eyes they would think that he was using the curse Cruciatus.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we all know the laws here. The laws are what prevent us from becoming uncivilised animals. Little less than dirt. However, this body. This organisation that represents the power of our government instead of respecting the rules and laws of this body decided that it was best to behave like idiots and forgot the rules. Let me ask Chief Witcher Albus Dumbledore What is the law according to inheritance, regency and leadership of an older and more noble house?''. Hadrian savoured everyone's looks of fear.

'According to the laws, the Wizengamot has no right to interfere in the affairs of a house and let its policy be maintained internally. As a next point to confirm that the family in question is in no way accused of foul play when there is a will, three orbs of will be created with the magic of the seal of the house in question. One will be for the family. Another for the Wizengamot. Another one for the Goblins. That's how it is''. Albus was not happy that this young man treated him this way.

''I see. So forgive me for asking this but what reason could this organ have then to obviously ignore the same rules and laws that have ruled over the centuries in the family? It seems more like the action of a brainless idiot if I have to be frank. But anyway I think this can be solved. I will present the Black family's testament sphere and Lady Amelia Bones will personally go for the Wizengamot's will sphere.'' When Hadrian said that he saw both Dumbledore and Malfoy shudder.

"I'm sorry but that won't be possible. The sphere appears as already read and then that means that it is no longer here''. Amelia sat quietly in her seat enjoying immensely the looks of pure fear of the members of both factions knowing that they were not having a good time at all. I couldn't blame them.

Dumbledore and Malfoy did what they possibly thought was smart. However, when he saw the young man's smile get colder, he knew that the shit was about to hit everyone and not in the best way. It's not that she cared much anyway.

"I see that's interesting. Witch boss, I'm sure you already know what that means. I think you have read that sphere so I would like you to say exactly what was in that sphere. If he doesn't, he will be considered the worst of all since it would mean that he was trying to steal a position of power. Although it is also possible that you were Lord Lucius Malfoy. Move forward in front of this body to know which of the two did such a thing''. Hadria already knew who was responsible.

And then a light illuminated Lucius Malfoy. You didn't have to be a genius to know. Although it is true that Narcissa was from the Black house, it was a well-known thing that after her marriage she and her sister had been separated from the family. Not for nothing but to protect the family above all. When Lucius did not know who the possible heir was (to treat him) he decided to go see the Wizengamot orb and there he discovered that not only did his son have no claim but that in addition to that he would never have anything. That's why I devise this plan. The dark faction wanted the money and power of the Black family and Cornelius with taking out money was enough.

"Lucius Abraxas Malfoy. That little less than interesting if you stop to think about it. Line theft. The Malfoy family of course is and has always been an unpleasant family of traitors but you have taken it to a new level. You know the punishment of your actions, right? Do you know the punishment of trying to rob the Black family?''. Hadrian enjoyed the look of pure fear not only in Lucius but in each of his comrades.

'I refuse to recognise you as heir and new lord of Black's house. Be who you are Hadrian Corvus Black also known as Harry James Potter former member of the potter family and a dirty mestizo''. Lucius would have said more but he shrank in pain when a burst of power went through every nerve point.

"Nice words. I'm surprised you know who I am. Someone made sure in many ways that my name was banished. They called me squib and kicked me out of my house without thinking twice. Those were the Potters who did it at the request of Albus Dumbledore. But anyway, I think you know better than anyone how the magic of Lucius Malfoy inheritance works. Do you know that what you were trying in combination with the minister and your assistants was theft, right?''. Hadrian enjoyed even more the look of the politician full of pure fear at that very moment.

"Do I look like I care? You can't do anything to me and you know it brat''. Lucius would have said more when the emblem of the Black family and its Totem appeared. This surprised many.

There were few families that had Totem. The Potters and Black were few. When the Black family's crow Totem was seen, everyone trembled with fear knowing that there would be consequences. The Totem had reacted to his lord's command, which meant that no matter what Lucius hadrian black said, he was the undisputed lord of the Black family and nothing and no one could mess with him in that sense.

"Poor deceived Lucius Malfoy. He thinks he's at the top. He thinks he's above everyone. You tried to rob the Black family. You have tried to usurp their leader and take him for yourself. And therefore because of that I dictate judgement. The Malfoy family gained power due to Lucius Malfoy's marriage to Narcissa Black. From this moment I cancel the marriage and I do not recognise any offspring of that union. Narcissa will have the option to return to the family if she wishes but her offspring is a nameless one''. Hadrian could savour Lucius' absolute fear.

''Lucius Malfoy from the magical house of Malfoy. You have tried to rob Black's oldest and noble house. Therefore, the judgement is as follows. Your house will be erased. You will be used as an example for all those who think they can somehow mess with the Black family''. Hadrian saw the blonde magician growl and saw him take out his wand. So predictable. Before Lucius had time to finish the murderous curse, his head was cut off by a breeze.

"To all those who supported this worthless idiot in this silly measure. You have two options. The first option is obviously to say that you can get away with it somehow and get away with it. I don't recommend it if I have to be frank. But that's a decision you have to make for yourself.'' Hadrian looked at his hand with great tranquillity.

"The second option is that they pay the price. And it is that the debt of each of the people present here. The debt they have with the Black family is paid in full. Because if I don't do it, I'll be beyond disappointed. It will mean that they do not agree and I will have to settle it myself. Are we clear?''. Hadrian saw every person in the room obviously annoyed by what he was saying.

"Lord Black, do you need to select a proxy?" Dumbledore looked at the young man secretly hoping to be able to use a touch of mental magic. He was a master of the arts of the mind. He looked at the young man and smiled seeing his opportunity until he was paralysed in pain.

The feeling was as if someone had stuck a sword in his head. He felt that his powerful mental abilities were insignificant at that moment and focussed his gaze on the young man who looked at him even bored of all possible things. As if he thought he was an idiot or something like that (some would think you're an idiot for trying to get into the head of the head of a paranoid traditional family but hey that was just the same anyway).

''Head of Wizengamot. Although I'm glad you seem to have an interest in my person, I would like to make one thing clear. I'm not his friend. I'm not interested in you in the least or like you. Please don't address me again if there's no reason. And yes. I need a proxy. Contrary to what many would think as head of Black's house I have a lot of work to do''. Which was true.

'Show your respect for that man.' Augusta Longbotton came out in Defence of Dumbledore seeing him as the perfect opportunity to put the upstart in his place. However, he looked at her. It was a simple bored look.

"I will talk to the man as I want because this man has spoken to me as he wanted. He treats me like a trash subject taking me out of my family just because in his own words it would be a hinderance for my younger brother and that would be a safe target for Death Eaters. That man as you describe him is not to my liking and I will make it clear to you. What is wrong with him? It's not my problem''. Hadrian looked at the annoying older witch who knew she was dying to say something about it but who fell and kept quiet.

"As I said, I have someone in mind to take care of the Wizengamot affairs and she will take care of everything. Any business will make an appointment through it. But any offence, no matter how small, means one thing and just one more thing. And believe me, you don't want me as an enemy. Not seeing that this governing body was about to help two people commit line theft, are we clear?''. The warning came because he had no doubt that some idiot would possibly bring the idea of placing what were cursed cards or God knows what else.

"Lord Black is being very presumptuous by threatening even this entire governing body." Augusta got up just cut a knife stuck next to her face and make a cut. She was completely surprised to see the knife and was scared because she hadn't seen him do the conspiracy.

"I've said it once. No more. I have my right to warn. A moment ago you were about to put the idea that Neville your grandson was so worthy of being a member of the Black house for the simple fact of who his great-grandmother is. Once again you were doing line theft but considering who you are, I'm not surprised. The Longbotton witch. Tell me, is it true that you plan to make Neville your puppet to rule the family even when he gets married?''. Hadrian enjoyed the angry look I crossed.

However, that silence did not last long because the doors of the Wizengamot opened. There she entered neither more nor less than Andromeda Black in all her glory with a black dress that accentuated all her curves. Many of the people looked at it with little grace because of how good Andromeda looked. Androemda, for her part, looked at everyone in the Wizengamot room with a cold look that made it very clear what she felt for them.

''This is Andromeda Black who is now the proxy of the Black family. She negotiated with the ministry and with the different families who were supporting the motions for the future Lord Black. I'm just going to say this: I know each group. So you have to pay a debt. Line theft is ugly. And it's not right to do it so you know what it's about''. With his words said Adriano said goodbye to everyone present, was there anything else to discuss? Who knows.

Andromeda saw her nephew leave with a look. Although she was a doctor above all else, she had not made the limiting oaths of San Mungos using some pretty intelligent things. Anyway, Andromeda looked at everyone in the room and had a cold smile. Many of these bastards had looked at her badly. They had thought above her. A look landed especially on Augusta Longbotton who was looking at Andromeda with pure anger at the reminder of the woman who humiliated her son.

The Wizengamot swallowed with fear knowing that they had to pay. The dark faction frowned. If Lucius had been intelligent they would have killed the so-called heir and this would not have been a problem. The light faction was not happy for having missed an opportunity but they were furious at the humiliation and Dumbledore was worried about a truth that he had wanted to hide completely. He had prevented the Potters and Sirius from knowing about young Harry, he had hidden him with many spells but this would be enough to break him and he knew the damage it would be for his person. The neutral faction only looked at this with interest but already making plans to exploit this to the fullest.

-Present Time-

Hadrian remembered. After destroying the Malfoy family, the other families of the dark bloc had to pay the debts of the Black family in full seeing that they had been betrayed. However, Hadrian was much smarter. Knowing that many families would have a much more different leadership with the heirs, I eliminated the heads of the family so that the heirs were placed along with eliminating any possible proxy that was chosen by the father or mother.

Killing Voldemort wasn't the hardest thing to do either. Many could have said that it was silly and even stupid what he did but it wasn't. Every time a person creates a Horcrux unless they have control over it, their soul is halved. Voldemort had split his soul in half a total of seven times. That meant that when I destroyed piece by piece Voldemort was incredibly weak.

What he hadn't known is that the very fool had drunk Unicorn blood. You had to be incredibly idiotic since this blood was one of the three things that produced a curse of the highest level.

Voldemort had marked himself in the worst way and ended up dying in bed. In the end, the war did not erude and Dumbledore was like a senile madman. It didn't help that he lost much credibility when James Potter, Lily Potter and Sirius Black realised that he had tied their memories of his person to prevent them from focussing on him in some way.

Dumbledore was relegated to be just a speck of dust remembered for his good deeds... until his aunt Cassie's book was published. She talks about being a spiteful bitch but her aunt was a spiteful woman who never liked how Dumbledore took the glory of defeating Grindelwald.

In the end, with that done, he spent the rest of his days helping. He had to work hard to avoid the discovery of magical society. For this, he first redefined the existence of magical security. Then later Hadrian helped create a true security division to protect the magical world. He is happy to do it because the nonsense of many Muggle idiots and politicians was something he would not tolerate in the magical world.

He had made an effort to force the obligation to install oaths of obligation to comply with laws as long as they do not make certain requests. Needless to say, the magical world is advancing although because of MACUSA they are almost discovered because they continued to see the muggles as complete idiots.

He married Nymphadora and had four children. Four wonderful children, three girls and a boy. Hadrian smiled at the memory of his wife and looked at what was basically the family mural and smiled. Then everything went black and his life ended... or maybe not?
