Wizengamot

Entering the Wizengamot meeting room, Arcturus thought it was rather plain. the room itself was the size of a classroom with around a hundred normal wooden seats in a circle, but what stood out was twenty-eight larger seats painted black with the family crest of the Sacred Twenty-Eight pureblood families.

His father nudged him to stop gawking and started moving towards their seat, A house-elf appeared with a child version of his father's chair, "Thank you", he says to the elf that pops way with a smile.

-- Wizengamot POV --

To say that everyone in the chamber was baffled to see a child here would be an understatement but this child was also a member of the Black family.

The dark members had already been notified by Orion that his son would start attending various meetings with him but he never said he was a mere child, they all thought he meant Regulus.

On the neutral side sat Augusta Longbottom, while others whispered among themselves about the boy, she was measuring him.

Lastly, the light side all had scowls on their faces, the idea of bringing a child to such a place was heart-wrenching, in their minds, Orion must have forced the boy to come.

-- Arcturus POV --

"Father, we have twenty minutes before the meeting starts, may I go around and introduce myself?"

To his request, he received a nod from his father.

Getting out of his seat, he makes his way to the podium in the center of the room which captures the attention of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to officially introduce myself, my name is Arcturus Black. Many of you may be wondering why my father, Lord Black, brought me here today but that assumption would be wrong"

"I pestered my father until he brought me, I will be attending many of these meetings in the coming years and I will freely give my opinion whether you like it or not"

At this point, Albus Dumbledore enters the lobby but the boy finishes his speech.

"Magical Britain was once the crown jewel of the world, I plan on making it shine once again", the boy takes a breath before stepping down but is greeted by the words of another.

Augusta Longbottom rises from her seat, "Child, you speak better than most of the imbeciles in this room, I look forward to your future", she says before sitting down again.

The meeting begins shortly and after some debates on the affairs of certain subjects, the meeting finishes with him shaking hands with several people.

After apparating back home, he follows his father to his office, "You did well, but remember to always keep calm and collected, those parasites will look for any chance to beat you"

"Yes, father", the small boy says before walking to his bedroom.

'Well... that was exhausting'. taking off his suit and putting on comfortable pajamas.

"Guppy", after saying this, a small house-elf pops into his room.

"Guppy is here master", the house-elf was a gift given to him by his mother on his fourth birthday.

"Take my clothes and have them washed, also, bring me Sirius' school books"

Guppy nods several times before popping away.

Arcturus looks at his hands, 'father said intent, emotion, and proper punctuation is the key to casting spells', Guppy pops in and out dropping off the Hogwarts books on various classes.

"I should start small", flipping through the pages, he finds the light spell, Lumos.

In the blink of an eye, four weeks pass by, Sirius leaves for his third year of Hogwarts and Regulus starts his first year.

Over these weeks, Arcturus concentrated on three things, building a better relationship with his family, making his opinion heard at Wizengamot meetings, and learning weak but useful spells.

For the first task, he regularly went shopping with his mother and had his father teach him about the Black properties..

Secondly, he made sure to make his opinion heard, he regularly debated with adults on the care for magical creatures.

Lastly, he had learned but not yet mastered three spells, Lumos, Accio, and Episky.

He also started exercising in his room, not enough that it would make him ripped in a few years but enough that he would remain healthy and fit.

After getting out of a quick shower, he sees a letter on his bed.

After writing a short and succinct reply that he will attend, he had Guppy deliver the letter.

'I better get ready for this party then'. he says as he Accio's a book on nobility and traditions.
