Chapter One, Accidental Magic

Having stormed the Ministry, Charlus, Dorea, Melania and Arcturus had saved Sirius just in time from being sent to Azkaban without a trial. Amelia Bones, a Head Auror in the D.M.L.E was furious as were the other Lord and Ladies of the Wizengamot and they immediately removed and sacked Barty Crouch from the D.M.L.E with immediate effect. He would have been sacked entirely but Dumbledore had spoken to Minister Bagnold and stopped them from removing Barty completely from the Ministry and moved him to Magical Cooperation, which as expected caused an uproar as he was under investigation and shouldn't have been able to go to another department even at the lowest level.

All of the trials that Barty had proceeded over however, were being looked over by Amelia's keen and sharp eyes with the help of the retired Theseus Scamander to make sure no other innocent witch or wizard was sent to Azkaban. It would take months to go over each statement, each item of evidence and each trial by Veritaserum but it would be worth it in the end when they were 100% sure no other innocent party was in that foul place.

But for Sirius with his grandparents and his aunt and uncle they were suing the Ministry and Dumbledore for negligence and inheritance theft and embezzlement for Dumbledore for trying to steal House Potter as he had known Sirius was innocent and not the Secret Keeper. But for now, they were on their way back to Potter Manor as Sirius was desperate to see Laufey again and see how his brother Regulus had progressed in professing his love for Petunia. During the last year and a half since Regulus and Petunia met - after Regulus had healed thanks to Aunt Cassie's skilled hands - they had grown extremely close and had gone on a few dates before that fateful night a few days ago. Sirius also knew that his little brother, otherwise known as a member of the Marauders with his fox form named Loki, was thinking about Blood-Adopting Freyr as his son.

Everything had already been set up with the Black Account Manager Rurx (including a Trust Vault for Freyr) and as his older brother and now Lord of their family, Sirius could honestly say that he approved wholeheartedly; they were both good for each other and brought out the best in each other despite what they had been through previously, and the plus side, Sirius knew his little brother would NEVER treat Tuney the way that vermin did. Sorry Vernon (he wasn't sorry). The fact that Reggie had gotten BOTH Lily's and James's blessing just shortly before Samhain had eased a knot in his brother's stomach he knew, he just needed not only Tuney's say-so but her parents as well.

"Sirius," Arcturus called, pulling his eldest grandson from his thoughts.
"Sorry you were saying something grandfather?" Sirius asked apologetically, since Laufey had been born and he had Blood-Adopted her making her his Heiress, Sirius had made it up with certain members of his family (including his father just shortly before he died) it turned out that his mother was behind his father's cold and heartlessness to both him and Reggie growing up as she had dosed him with the darkest mind controlling potions you could possibly find; however, she had fallen on her own sword as Mother Magic did not take kindly to this slight and had painfully and forcibly taken his mother's magic from her, killing her in the process.

"Yes," Arcturus stated, waving his wand to create a impenetrable privacy spell so none of the busybodies at the Ministry could listen in on their conversation by any means, "your grandmother and I will be meeting with Lord Aengus and Lady Aisling Lynch, and Lord Áki and Lady Alda Pekkanen, as I understand it Ármann and Caoimhe are Squibs from those families?" Arcturus asked for clarification.
"Yes grandfather." Sirius agreed. "Caoimhe is Lord Lynch's Great-niece, making Laufey and Heir Aidan Lynch cousins. Whereas, Ármann is  the late-Lord Pekkanen's great-grandson and the current Lord's grandson." Sirius reminded his grandparents, Charlus and Dorea. Arcturus and Melania nodded their understanding before Arcturus continued.

"We are meeting with them at Castle Black due to the incompetence of the Ministry and the dubious and malicious plans the old fool is creating. We're hoping to formulate a plan to even the playing field a little more, perhaps even informing the Norwegian Ministry on what has transpired here."
"Which is why we may be late to dinner this evening and ask if you could apologise to Mia and Monty for us, as we're also hoping some of our allies will arrive as well. It's time everyone knew the might of House Black and House Potter." Melania continued for her husband.
"Of course cousin." Dorea agreed. "Contact my dear older sister, your siblings and my cousins Regulus and Lycoris as they have always been rather cunning and Cassie was the only Ravenclaw amongst us all."

A smirk donned her lips when Arcturus sighed as if put-upon causing Charlus, Dorea, Sirius and Melania to laugh at his misfortune knowing exactly how mischievous his younger siblings and Cassiopeia could be when they got together.
"Perhaps," Charlus hedged gently, squeezing his wife's hand in comfort and support. "Perhaps contacting Marius and bringing him back into the fold would be a good idea. We cannot accept Petunia, Caoimhe and Ármann into the family and not Marius, as it's hypocritical; and I may be many things but a hypocrite is certainly not one of them." He said firmly.
"You're right Charlus." Arcturus sighed, feeling his age but still holding firm to his Pureblood teachings and refusing to show emotion in the Ministry Atrium of all places. "I never agreed with how mother and father handled things.

On one hand I understand: they wanted a life for him where he's not succumbed to jealousy and other negative emotions; however, on the other hand it's cruel to rip him away from the only family he's known for eleven years. Once we return home I'll send him an owl." Arcturus promised.
"I'll join you, cousin, if you don't mind. Someone needs to be the mediator between all you hotheads." Dorea stated. "Charlus my love, Sirius, do inform me of how sweet Reggie is doing on wooing Petunia and give Laufey and Freyr a hug and kiss from me." She requested, a smile on her lips but mischief shone in her silver eyes.
"Of course love." Charlus agreed, kissing his wife before the group separated. Sirius and Charlus back home to Potter Manor while Dorea joined her cousin and cousin-in-law to the Ancestral Home of House Black.

***

The moment Sirius and Charlus arrived in the foyer of Potter Manor they couldn't help the sudden bark of laughter that tumbled from their throats. Both Monty and Regulus (who had come to greet them) were sporting bright blue hair - Monty looked rather unfazed about it; however, Regulus was looking rather putout.
"What happened?" Charlus asked, laughing every now and then whereas Sirius was pretty much doubled over with his laughter.
"After I asked Caoimhe and Ármann if I could court Tuney - which they agreed to. They, more Ármann, said that they already thought of me as a son for how I treat Tuney and Freyr." Regulus said happily, tears in his eyes.

"I then asked Tuney out on a courtship date, and asked her how she would feel if I Blood-Adopted Freyr as my son: Tuney burst into happy tears but Laufey must have thought I'd upset her as this was the result!" Regulus grumbled, waving a hand to his precious hair.
"Congratulations brother!" Sirius exclaimed joyfully, clapping his brother on the shoulder. "A Potter and Black together again!"
"I pity Minerva." Charlus winced knowing she would be putting up with a third generation Potter and a third generation Black. "So what happened to you brother?" He asked Monty.

"I tried to calm Laufey down along with Petunia but she was already upset and hurting with her shoulder and with... with what happened.... She kept asking for 'Mama', 'Dada' and 'Dada Pa'foo''. When I only said Sirius would be back soon for lots of kisses and cuddles she got more upset and Freyr did this." Monty explained sadly, which sobered everyone up.

"Oh, my poor little pup." Sirius cried, racing into the family room where everyone was, the two toddlers on the floor playing. "Laufey. My poor baby! Daddy Padfoot is never leaving you again!" He swore as he scooped her up holding her to his chest.
"Dada Pa'foo'!" Laufey cried, clutching at Sirius tightly as if she was afraid if she'd let go he'd disappear which broke everyone's hearts.
"Oh, Reggie, Tuney!" Sirius exclaimed in remembrance, holding his daughter close while running his free hand through Freyr's hair after he'd sat on the floor beside his nephew. "I've sorted everything with the Account Manager Rurx, you just need to go there, sign the paperwork and have Freyr take the potion."
"Which I've already made!" Monty added.

"Thank you Sirius. Thank you Monty." Regulus and Petunia exclaimed happily, snuggling into each other's arms.
"We will all go tomorrow." Mia informed them. "Then we can get Laufey checked over by the Goblin Healers." A murmur of agreement went around the room as everyone settled for a quiet evening while they healed from what had occurred a few days previous. They may have lost James and Lily but they would always be with them; in their hearts.
