Title: I did not sleep with that wizard!
Pairings: Drarry,
Rating: M
Summary: Harry has a vision of Sirius being tortured and begs Dobby to take him to Sirius. As they Apparate out of the Fifth Year Gryffindor Dormitory he faints. Showing things come to light about the Saviour. Involves Good Malfoys, good Sirius and Good Severus. More to be revealed...
Notes: Another random story idea…maybe not so random inspired by the conceiving of Merlin… BTW dates will be posted if the date changes otherwise date is the same as previous chapter.
A/N: Normally I don't do this...but this chapter is for Love Faith Embers on Ff.net in gratitude for referring to this fic as inspiring her Potions Fume, Baby Boom and Ministry Doom story. I'm not sure how much this OC pairing will come into the story but it exists because the idea was well too good. We might see more in Snake and Eagle I'm not sure yet...

Btw this takes place on the same day as the previous chapter beginning only a few hours later like nine or ten compared to like seven in the monring.

Chapter 41

Being the voice of Reason in the Black family as well as the loosely related Lupin, Prince, Malfoy and Potter families was exhausting.
Having Sirius come into his own as Lord Black and the Head of the Black Family had forced her reticent daughter to bond to the mother of her daughter was extremely helpful.
Andromeda was in the process of separating out the patients she would keep and those she would transfer to other healers since she was taking over the infirmary at Hogwarts for the ensuing school year. It was also to reduce her stress levels due to her surprise and dangerous pregnancy; against all reason and logic Andromeda wanted this child as badly as Ted did.
It wasn’t until her medi-witch assistant popped into her office only a few hours after she’d overseen the Prince-Lupin bonding to announce that a Lady Caterina Zabini was there for her appointment that Andromeda remembered the girl.
Zabini? Was she related to Blaise? Andromeda wasn’t very familiar with continental purebloods, the most she knew was that her cousin Edmund Rosier had gone to school at Beauxbatons and was disowned for bonding against familial wishes. Lucius’ cousin Sancus and Geoffrey Goyle’s bonded were French sisters.
Andromeda frowned, “She is? Send her in.”
The medi-witch Aednat McCullum stared at her with a look of concern, “Is everything alright Healer Tonks?”
Andromeda scowled at her, “Why wouldn’t it be?”
“You’re transferring patients and there is a rumour that you’re leaving us…” Medi-witch Aednat said softly.
“I’ve been asked to take over the Hogwarts’ infirmary for a year due to extenuating circumstances. I’ll be running an independent practice there for select patients.” Andromeda sniffed.
“Then I want to apply to serve as your assistant. I was appalled at how poorly the infirmary was run and well I always planned to return there if there was a change in the staffing.” Aednat said firmly.
“I’ll consider it.” Andromeda mused, “Now you said I had a patient?”
Aednat bowed, “I’ll sent her right in.”
So Andromeda readied herself to deal with a new patient when she really didn’t have the patience or time for such trouble.
A 5’2 teenage witch clearly around the age of Mal Goyle and Luna Lovegood nervously entered the room yet the circumference of her protruding stomach was far larger then Luna’s and she was expecting twins.
“Healer Tonks?” The girl asked with a continental accent that sounded like a mixture of French and Spanish.
Andromeda gestured to the exam table, “Sit down.”
The girl acquiesced immediately.
“What is the trouble?” Andromeda asked gruffly.
“Well you see…I’ve got a problem. I’m pregnant with and I don’t know who the sire is because I’ve never slept with anyone. I only found out because I became very ill during a Herbology revision lesson and fainted. Madam Pomfrey diagnosed pregnancy and sent for my parents who immediately removed me from school. My parents are understandably furious and well if I don’t find out so I can bond to them. Father doesn’t want to believe that it’s possibly a Lilithean pregnancy, but from what my elf told me about what they discuss I’m suspicious. I looked them up and well it’s the only possible explanation isn’t it?” Caterina wrung her hands.
Andromeda ran a few spell tests to check the timing of the pregnancy, it was very far along nearing the sixth month mark and the girl was pregnant with quadruplets not twins definitely sired by a Lilithean.
She scowled at the girl, “I thought you said twins.”
The girl paled, “I’m not pregnant with twins? But I’m so huge…”
“You’re expecting quadruplets.” Andromeda really shouldn’t be casting the sire detection spell but the Ministry owed her for the Buckingham Palace incident and well it was part of the Lilithean thing so hang the consequences. Besides Blacks don’t really think much of laws if they can get away with breaking them.
Above the girl’s protruding stomach were the words.
Bearer: Caterina Arrosa Zabini
Sire: Jacob Sagittarius Levey
The Zabini girl flinched.
Andromeda stared at the name for a moment, “Levey? There was a witch in my sister’s year of that name, she was Sorted into Ravenclaw and I believe she was a Muggleborn. I heard rumours about Sirius’s behaviour but…I never thought that he’d be so…irresponsible. Wait here.”
Andromeda stepped out and flooed back to Grimmauld where she stormed into the library where Sirius was standing there musing at the tapestry.
Sirius spun around shame-faced, “Annie?”
“Did you or did you not have a torrid affair with an older Ravenclaw? A Muggleborn witch named Levey?”
Sirius flinched, “Sure, during the winter of my Seventh year.”
Sirius was trying to manoeuvre to hide his own name on the tapestry.
Andromeda shoved him out of her way.
On the tapestry were the joined names Sirius Orion Black and Marianna Ruth Levey, they didn’t have the proper look of a bonded couple and were in a stark contrast to the other entwined names.
Sirius Orion Black Marianna Ruth Levey
V
Jacob Sagittarius Levey
b. 23 Sept 1978
Jacob was a related name to James and had the same meaning. Sagittarius was a celestial name like Sirius but the other Black had constellation names like Orion or Andromeda.
Jacob’s name was joined together like Harry and Draco had before the bonding with small gold threads that were drawing the branches together not unlike the concept of grafting on a real tree.
It was joined by that of her patient Caterina Arrosa Zabini…
The tapestry typically only had descendents of Blacks to the third generation, which Harry was.
The tapestry prove her findings, four as of yet unnamed children that were listed as Boy A Black, Girl A Black, Boy B Black and Girl B Black…
Andromeda glared, “We have a problem, that girl is sitting in my exam room at St. Mungos’.”
Sirius gaped at her.
“Open mouths make great doxy traps.” Andromeda snapped. “You need to send for Emelia and Sancus so that you can get the charges against you dropped. I’m going to meet with this girl’s family but they will insist on meeting the Head of the Black Family and I won’t do.”
Sirius nodded, “What about Jacob?”
“Get yourself off today.” Andromeda glared. “Then you can have the news printed in a special edition of the Evening Prophet.”
Sirius nodded, “Yes Annie.”
Andromeda then flooed back to her office and then strode purposely back to the exam room she’d left the girl in.
Caterina swallowed looking up when she swept in, “Did I do something wrong healer?”
Andromeda shook her head, “I had to double-check my suspicions. I had to see if I could determine who the sire’s family was. I’m going to give you an emergency portkey, it will portkey you here in the instant it senses the onset of labour. In your condition, you will need immediate assistance and it is too dangerous for multiple birth at your age to have a home birth. I would prefer to have you in a room here in the maternity/paternity wing. Have you been seen by a healer since the pregnancy was discovered?”
The girl shook her head.
Andromeda muttered things under her breath about irresponsible guardians as she summoned one of the aforementioned portkeys and a supply of Lilithean-sired pregnancy potions.
“I’ll be escorting you home.”
Caterina blinked, “Are you sure?”
“I’m going to inform your parents that the sire is being located and the Head of his Family will be contacting them shortly. I hope you have no desire for a fancy bonding, you will not last until term and will likely be forced by circumstances to deliver within the next two weeks so a contract must be signed within the next two days.”
Andromeda then followed the girl to the floo and repeated the destination.
XooooooX
Sirius sent an elf with a request for Lucius to inform Emelia that he would be flooing into her office.
Lucius would have no trouble with delivering the message due to his partiality for the former Head Girl.
Sirius sent an elf for Sancus Malfoy who arrived promptly.
“There is an emergency Sirius?” his family’s solicitor frowned.
“An illegitimate son of mine was part of the Lilithean scandal and the witch bearer is expecting quadruplets.”
Sancus blinked, “Quadruplets? That is a very unheard of thing in the Black family.”
Sirius snorted, “I was surprised to find I had a child when I repaired the tapestry but it wasn’t until later that I noticed I had a son or that he was expecting kids. When Andromeda didn’t mention it I was confused but I didn’t have anyway to look for the kid other then well sending an elf after him.”
“So in light of this we have to push forward your retrial?”
“I’ve asked Lucius to inform Emelia that we’ll be arriving shortly.” Sirius nodded.
Sirius had filled out and looked a lot more like his younger pre-Azkaban self then he had when he’d revealed himself in the Shrieking Shack.
The two wizards then were delivered via house elf to Emelia’s office.
XooooooX
Andromeda maybe the legal but temporary Regent of the Black and Potter lines but she would not be especially welcome comparatively to a true Head of the Black Line.
She vaguely remembered how irritated Baron Lestrange and Lord Abraxus Malfoy was when Aunt Walpurga rather then Uncle Orion argued their betrothal and bonding contracts.
Caterina escorted her into a study where her father was reading documents.
He addressed his daughter in a harsh and slightly unfamiliar language.
Andromeda snapped, “Excuse my rudeness but my name is Healer Black-Tonks. Your daughter asked me to give her a proper exam and I determined the sire of her children. As a birth healer I would give you a deadline of two days to have a bonding contract signed. Your daughter will likely require a delivery natural or surgical within the next two weeks because she is expecting quadruplets.”
The man behind the desk was closer to Bella and Sancus’ age then her own, he paled, stammering in heavily accented English. “Quadruplets?”
Andromeda glared, “Yes four children; two boys and two girls, the girls are surprisingly weaker. I have little belief that they will survive due to your refusal to have her properly cared for. At her age and size a multiple pregnancy might kill her especially if the girls weren’t detected and you allowed her to go into labour here. She must give birth in a hospital with a healer who specialises in difficult pregnancies and has some knowledge of this type. Your daughter is virginal and the Lilithean that impregnated multiple students began the pregnancy so it is highly cruel to punish her for something that was never her fault to begin with. I was highly surprised to discover her pregnancy because she was not at Hogwarts when I did so.”
“How are you going to help us find the sire?”
“I am blood related to them, during the war we lost track of them but the current Head of the Black family will be sending an elf to retrieve them. He is busy at the moment with his solicitor discussing the possible inheritance that the boy can bring to the bonding. It would be unseemly to have him bond without our support. Now we need to discuss certain things, has your daughter sat her exams yet?”
“No.”
“I will contact Headmaster Flitwick about arranging them. Now you will need to see about getting her at least enough clothes for the babies. They will likely be between 453.59 and 1077.3 grams each [a/n: 1-2lbs]. The girls will be the tiniest because it appeared that the boys are gluttons. There were three placentas but the boys are crowding out their sisters. I have serious concerns regarding the girl infants…” Andromeda said sternly.
“Sit please, my apologies for my rudeness. My name is Antton Zabini.” Caterina’s father gestured for her to sit.
“I was wondering if you were related to a patient of mine, Blaise.” Andromeda’s reply was cold as she took a seat opposite the desk.
The wizard scowled, “Blaise is the son of my elder brother Ander, his mother cut off contact with us after my brother died in a climbing accident. After her subsequent rebondings and refusal to allow us to have any contact he was removed as an heir. My bonded Ariadne only had Caterina hence our displeasure in her pregnancy.”
“Gabriella Baianchessi is dead. Her son is betrothed and likewise suffering from a Lilithean caused pregnancy. He is estranged from much of his family and I believe that he wouldn’t mind being contacted by you Antton. His adopted family has gone through a similar upheaval and ties between them a bit strained.”
“What complications are you concerned over?”
“Well beyond the obvious preterm delivery and growth restriction due to her size and age there is fact that it is a multiple pregnancy. Also identical twins can share an amniotic sac and a placenta; they are at risk for becoming tangled in each other’s umbilical cords and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. The later is a rare placental disease that results in one twin getting less blood than the other. At this point I am unable to determine if they share an amniotic sack. It will be very difficult for her and I wouldn’t recommend a natural deliver if it can be prevented.”
“Why?”
‘Men…’ Andromeda grumbled in her mind, “Because it would take far too long and it increases the probability of stillborn infants. I would like to prevent that if possible; I can’t believe as a healer just how many pregnancies have survived the crucial period of gestation without complications though they had no prenatal care. They brewed during the pregnancy and some even flew which we strenuously try to impress upon the expectant bearer the danger of.”
“You are serious about wanting Caterina to stay at St. Mungos’?”
“To prevent serious complications. If all goes well the Head of the Black family should contact you tomorrow and bonding negotiations will begin. I will approach Filius about whether or not Caterina needs to sit her end of year exams or not. He will likely be contacting you tomorrow as well.”
Antton swallowed, “Yes the sooner the better.
Andromeda left the stunned grandfather-to-be and the still likely shell-shocked mother-to-be to talk to Filius.
XooooooX
Sirius flooed into Emelia’s office and growled, “I need to be declared a free man and I need to be declared today! I’ve been more then patient with you lot. You’ve had the traitor for over a month! It’s a month and eight days to be precise since I handed Bella and Wormtail over to Kingsley and Tonks. You have both mine and Peter’s wand here in evidence storage I know because Fudge took it off me.”
“Sirius Garrick Ollivander is missing.” Emelia tried to say patiently.
“So? He didn’t make my wand damn it! Mother took me to Paris, Louis Ollivander did. He was an uncle to Rodolphus and Rabastan or something. He made everyone’s wand but Bella I think. Come on I need help here! I’ve wasted too much time waiting on you.” Sirius fumed.
“What is the trouble?” Emelia sighed.
“I’m going to be bloody grandfather! I can’t negotiate a bonding contract if I’m supposedly an escaped murderer!” Sirius snarled.
“Alright, I get it. Lucius go fetch me Kingsley and Chadwick respectively.”
Lucius nodded and slipped out of the office.
“I believe that Peasegood is in charge of the evidence. I’ll have him fetch the wands in question. I’ll have to send for Lady Augusta. She’ll be furious with me but she’s about the only member of the Council of Magical Law who would agree to sit as judge and whose judgement won’t be questioned.” Emelia mused just before she sent a patronus to summon Augusta.”
“You’ll need a scribe who has experience with a sensitive trial. Why don’t you call in Percy Weasley and make him take a confidentiality vow.” Sirius offered.
Why he wasn’t extremely fond of the boy, he knew due to Arthur and Albus’ comments that Percy had been a part of Harry’s trial last summer.
“I’ll call him in. the only trouble is that he works for Fudge and Fudge’s office is under fire for the Death Eater Attacks, Umbridge and the Lilithean trouble. Some folks the Halfbloods particularly have been complaining about wanting Dumbledore back.” Emelia muttered under her breath pacing.
The wheels to have Sirius’ innocence proven were turning slowly…
But since Emelia had already had to deal with her own family’s stigma of an illegitimate pregnancy she would be the only one who would understand Sirius’ worry…
XooooooX
Even though it was a Saturday Andromeda flooed right into Filius’ office in the Headmaster’s Tower…
Filius looked up from his specially adjusted chair by the hearth, “Andromeda what a surprise.”
“I don’t have time for niceties Filius. I need to know what House a wizard named Jacob Sagittarius Levey was in.”
“Levey? He is in Ravenclaw, same as his mother. He’s especially close to the Krum boys, when Viktor was picked to come as a Triwizard Champion Candidate for Durmstrang, his younger brother Mikhail decided he wanted to attend at Hogwarts and Levey transferred over the summer. He was sorted just before the World Cup, apparently his mother, who was one my former Eagles works for the Krums.” Filius frowned. “I believe he is a Seventh Year this fall…”
“I need to speak to his mother, can you contact Charlie and have him send for Viktor? I believe that they are bonded.” Andromeda was terse, bordering on rude.
“Is something the matter?”
“I am telling you this in the strictest confidence, Levey is Sirius’ illegitimate son and he somehow escaped my testing. He has sired quadruplets Filius. The girl is young, a Caterina Zabini.”
She’s a quiet one, tiny even. Not much taller then me actually. I believe she is in Slytherin, she missed her exams.”
“They will need to either be made up or excused. Her parents removed her due to illness, which was in truth pregnancy and Pomfrey misdiagnosed her as pregnant with twins. Since she is about to begin her OWL year it is imperative that some decision be made quickly before she goes into labour. She will likely give birth in the next two weeks and then she’ll be worried over her children. Even with Wizarding healing it will be at least a month before they will be allowed to least St. Mungos’ paediatric intensive care wing. She will be lucky if she can have any of them with her when she returns to school in September.”
“In light of returning students being parents presently or in upcoming months, I will be arranging for the hearths in their apartments to be hooked up to their homes and St. Mungos for emergencies. Those students will be allowed to move in any time three days before September first so they can bypass the train. It would be foolish to subject infants to an enclosed environment such as the Hogwarts Express or even Hogsmeade. I will retrieve the exams, in light of Miss Zabini’s pregnancy I am sure that both Severus and Horace will excuse the practical portion of the exam provided that she scores well on the written because it will compose of her entire grade. I’ll owl her father about when she can come take them.”
“I have given her an emergency portkey that will transport her direct to the maternity paternity ward at St. Mungos. Any expecting student who has not delivered by the last week of August will be given the same.”
“Understood.” Filius nodded. He sent his eagle patronus for Charlie to ask for him to send Viktor to him at once.
Andromeda sat opposite Filius to wait.
XooooooX
Sirius was pacing and impatient when Lucius returned with Kingsley and Chadwick Montague.
With Augusta and Percy arriving nearly on top of them…
The four newcomers were very confused.
“Sirius needs to be proven innocent and proven today. Kingsley I need Sirius and Peter to submit to Legilimency to verify their memories of the circumstances of both the attack on the Potters and the supposed death of Peter Pettigrew. Augusta I know that Peter is blood and his faked death must be painful, you have the right to refuse to sit in judgement as the,”
“I’ll do it. I thought another member of the council was handling it. I know that Fudge would refuse to be a part of it as would Umbridge and you couldn’t because you were heading the investigation.” Lady Longbottom interrupted her.
“Very well, Chadwick I need you to floo to the Rue de Leon and fetch Louis Ollivander. His expertise is needed in this case and he’s being called as a witness to declare what wand he made for Sirius.”
Augusta held up a hand, “If you’ll give me a material witness summons I’ll fill it out. Louis Ollivander?”
“Yes, I believe he is a relation of the Lestranges. A great uncle or something a bit far removed.” Lucius nodded, “If I remember correctly, his mother was Guienevere Ollivander and she bonded to Reginald Lestrange who is Rodolphus’ great-grandfather. While I wouldn’t consider Rodolphus a close friend, I did know him decently because our fathers were in Slytherin.”
Augusta wrote up the legal summons for Ollivander as a material witness, “Bring him in willing if possible but hostile is fine.”
Chadwick snorted but nodded turning on his heel and leaving.
Kingsley escorted Sirius out with Sancus in tow as his solicitor to ensure that his rights were protected.
Leaving Lucius behind to witness Percy being sworn to confidentiality vow likely cast by Emelia and spoken by Augusta.
XooooooX
While waiting for Charlie’s bonded Viktor to arrive, Filius said quietly, “You haven’t had one of my granddaughters or a Greengrass girl as a patient have you?”
Andromeda shook her head, “No.”
Filius nodded, “I suppose you thought that the silence on the part of the Greengrasses was due entirely to the trouble with the Pucey-Zabini pregnancy?”
Andromeda frowned, “I did. I know that Adrian hasn’t heard from his Greengrass relations since Harry’s bonding.”
“I’ve had to negotiate with them, they discovered that the middle girl Maia was pregnant. She was ill when they attended Harry’s bonding so she wasn’t present. Maia has since bonded to my youngest granddaughter Hippolyte. I’m told that the prospective due date is likely December since she seems to have fallen pregnant in nearly March and witch sired pregnancies are closer to ten months.” Filius sighed, “Can you keep an eye on them? I’m rather nervous. Their father was a happy accident for us and well they are my favourites even if I’m not supposed to have any. My great granddaughter Gemma is also in Slytherin and she too has sired a daughter with a witch, Septima Vector and Aurora Sinistra’s daughter Serotina.”
“It seems that your family is growing that is promising.”
“Jeremy Stretton is my great-grandson and he too sired a child.”
“Yes with Felicity Eastchurch.” Andromeda nodded.
Before they could discuss it further, they heard the sound of quiet conversation and the noise of the moving staircase.
It wasn’t very long before Charlie Krum nee Weasley; Hogwarts’ new Care of Magical Creatures Professor stepped into the Headmaster’s office with his bonded Viktor Krum who was wearing a Quidditch uniform.
“Yoo sent for me?” Viktor frowned.
Andromeda nodded, “I need to get in contact with an acquaintance of yours, Jacob,”
Viktor stiffened, “What do yoo need to talk to Jacob about?”
Charlie frowned, “Jacob? That kid who follows your brother Mikhail around like a bodyguard?”
“He sired a child via Lilithean with a Slytherin witch. Are you aware of his parentage?”
“If you mean do I know he’s illegitimate? Of course, he’s a decent kid.” Viktor said stiffly.
“I meant his sire is aware of the impending pregnancy and is willing to offer up an inheritance to help speed things up. I need to speak with his mother immediately.”
“She won’t discuss his father, she’s always been silent on the subject.” Viktor scowled.
“I don’t care what she has to say about his father, my cousin is adamant about helping. He has to be bonded within two days if he wishes to avoid making his own children illegitimate.” Andromeda snapped.
Viktor flinched, snapping his fingers to summon an elf that he addressed in Bulgarian.
The elf nodded and vanished with a pop.
“Ivan will bring Otec, Ms. Levey and Jacob.” Viktor muttered.
“Thank you, I understand you would be protective of a close friend of the family but this is important.” Andromeda said stiffly.
Now the waiting began anew…
XooooooX
As soon as Percy took the confidentiality vow, he and Augusta slipped out to prepare a courtroom.

Leaving Emelia to bring the files of Sirius’ arrest and previous sentence to review.
By the time Kingsley returned with Sirius, Chadwick had arrived with Louis Ollivander.
The party slipped out to the prepared courtroom.
Luckily it was the weekend and the ministry was rather empty.
The ‘trial’ was perfunctory.
Emelia was forced to sit as the prosecutor while Sancus stood as the defence.
Kingsley was interviewed as to the arrest of Pettigrew and the Interrogator’s report.
The Interrogator was called upon to elaborate on the report.
Their memories of the casting of the Fidelius on the Potters’ safe house during the later part of the Wizarding War with Voldemort, the identity of the persons involved as well as the night the Potters died, the incident in the Muggle World that killed twelve Muggles and damaged the street had been examined.
No one was really surprised that the use of the Fidelius was Albus Dumbledore’s idea, he was originally pushing to be made the Secret Keeper but the Potters had argued for Sirius. Sirius on the other hand had claimed that Pettigrew was a better choice because he was safer. No one would suspect them of choosing Pettigrew.
Sirius had offered up his memories of Fudge violating the new prohibition by giving him a Daily Prophet, how he realised that Pettigrew had faked his death and was actually alive, as well as how he had escaped Azkaban and Hogwarts after being captured.
The interrogator was satisfied as to the authenticity of the memories and that they were untampered with.
The wands were tested by Kingsley and examined by Louis who testified that Sirius Black’s wand that he was paired with in his shop in the Rue de Leon district of Paris had been a Blood Wood and Leprachaun hair wand. Kingsley’s test of what the last curse cast by the wands proved that Pettigrew’s had cast the Blasting Curse while Black’s last spell was a shield charm, before that was a stunner and the Incarcerous.
Given Black’s temper that was almost as well known as his youthful sex addict ways, that was surprising that he’d attempted to arrest Pettigrew rather then to kill him outright when the Aurors and Hit Wizards were allowed to use the Unforgivables.
Given the lack of evidence as to Sirius’ guilt in the betrayal of the Potters, the conspiracy in their murders, the ‘Murder of Peter Pettigrew’ or the deaths of twelve Muggles Sirius was declared innocent of all charges.
The previous charges as to his escape from Azkaban were dropped due to his having not received a trial before thus his imprisonment was unlawful.
However he was found guilty of failing to register as an Animagus, although the crime was usually punished by a year in prison in light of Sirius have served twelve years in Azkaban he was released due to time served. Sirius was ordered to register as an animagus within twenty-four hours to avoid having to pay a fine if he wished to have his original wand returned. She also ordered that the Ministry back pay him for twelve years, reinstate his Ministry Health care and status as an Auror. Despite his protests about wanting to quit he was put on medical leave until he was cleared by both a regular healer and a mind healer because his imprisonment in the Dementor patrolled part of Azkaban prison.
Augusta was feeling rather generous and ordered Sancus to file for claims against the Pettigrew and Crouch estates for unlawful imprisonment, framing and slander as well as suing Fudge who was likely complacent in the entire affair. Harry Potter was placed under the temporary joint custody of Lady Andromeda Black-Tonks and Remus Lupin until he was either graduated from Hogwarts or Sirius was deemed healthy enough to be named guardian of his godson.
So Sirius was declared a free man all in the space of a few hours.
Emelia had her secretary arrange for an emergency press conference during the trial, it was a foregone conclusion that since Pettigrew had a Dark Mark burned on his arm and that he was alive that Sirius was innocent of most of what he was imprisoned for.
Escorted by Kingsley Shacklebolt of the Aurors and Chadwick Montague of the Hit Wizards, Emelia made her way to the Atrium of the Ministry via lift.
She was flanked by Augusta, Sirius, Lucius and
Immediately after exiting the lift, cameras flashed and the assembled reporters which included Rita Skeeter of the Daily Prophet, Dominique Renoir of the Franciscan Herald, Xenos Lovegood nee Malfoy of The Quibbler as well as others.
“Quiet!” Emelia said sharply.
Instantly the reporters fell silent.
“For those who need the reminder, my name is Madam Emelia Meissa Bones. I am currently the Head of the Department of Magical Law appointed by the Minister of Magic who is at present Minister Cornelius Fudge. Now for quite some time now you have had reports that the search for escaped prisoner Sirius Orion Black were on going. I have more up to date news on the matter of Auror Black. He turned himself in and due to new evidence that was dealt with including the delivery and arrest of the thought deceased Petrus Alwyn Pettigrew better known as ‘Peter’ and Azkaban Escapee Bellatrix Media Lestrange nee Black, Sirius Black has been proved Innocent of all previous charges. He is to be treated as an innocent man; the circumstances of his lack of trial in the wake of the perceived death of You-Know-Who will continue to be investigated. I expect this news to appear in the Evening edition of the papers. Sirius is innocent, it is the judgement of Lady Augusta Longbottom, member of the Council of Magical Law that he be paid back wages for the last fourteen years, his status as an Auror be returned and be placed on medical leave. Information into his false and illegal imprisonment will be released at the proper time, rest assured that this incident will be properly investigated and the persons responsible for such a travesty of justice will be punished if they live. I will not be taking questions. Thank you for attending and I hope that you will see fit to print this. If it is not printed in both the Evening Prophet and the Daily Prophet I am sure that the House of Black will be glad to include you in its suit. Good day.”
The reporters shouted questions.
Sirius and Sancus stepped forward onto the platform.
“Mr. Black,”
Sirius scowled, “That is incorrect, I am Lord Black.”
“I was under the impression that you were disowned.” Rita Sketter said with a malicious smile.
Sirius snorted, “By my mother yes, my father never legally had me disowned. The title and estate were held in trust for me first by my mother who was told that she was the Wizarding executor until her death or the heir came forward. Mother was under the impression that the heir was my second cousin Draco Malfoy.”
“Is it true that Draco Malfoy is bonded to Harry Potter?” a reporter shouted.
“Is it true that they share two sons?” another asked loudly.
“Yes to both but I have nothing more to say on that subject. I assumed the title after my escape, both the Department of Magical Law and the Goblins recognise me as Lord Black. My godson Harry Potter has been granted to wizard guardians until I am no longer on medical leave. I will be focusing on healing from my illegal incarceration, building a relationship with my family and tending to the Black Estate.”
“Will you be returning to the Aurors?”
Sirius shrugged, “I am…undecided. I feel a large amount of betrayal, I was a loyal servant of the Ministry and a dutiful Auror yet I was thrown into Azkaban without trial and accused of betraying my cousin who was my best friend and conspiring to having him, his bonded and my own godson murdered. Anyone who really knew me would have known that I was trying my damnedest to separate myself from the Dark Family. I had joined the Order of the Phoenix, I was an Auror and I had no contact with my family other then with my cousin Healer Andromeda Black-Tonks, who I have reinstated to the family. I have returned her vaults and granted her inheritance left to her by both her parents and my father, which were withheld by my mother. I will be filing papers with the Ministry to have her bonding to Edwin Chaim Tonks formally recognised and her status as a member of the Black family restored. Her daughter Nymphadora Abigail Tonks who has recently joined the Smith Family has been granted a trust vault as is due to an acknowledged Black heiress, a worthy bride price was paid out to Madam Smith and the dowry that was due to Deborah Smith was paid. Bellatrix was disowned, her Bonded Rodolphus’ Estate seized by myself due to her bonding. It will be dealt with at the appropriate time. Now if you’ll excuse me, familial duty calls.”
Reporters called out more questions by Kingsley and Chad escorted Sirius, Sancus and Lucius to the floo.
The party flooed to Sancus’ Diagon Alley offices were they set down a bonding contract proposal, filed out birth certificates to file with the Department of Magical Children and the Gringotts for Sirius’ illegitimate son, decided an amount to fill a trust vault, the appropriate bride price for a witch who proved fertile enough to be carrying quadruplets and the future inheritance for Sirius’ son.
Due to inheritance laws recorded in the Gringotts’ registered entail only a legitimate son could inherit the Black estate owned by Lord Black including the family title.
Sirius could however grant his inheritance of the house formerly named Grimsby and that he’d rechristened Baskerville Hall in honour of a Muggle book that Lily had given him one Solstice called Hound of the Baskervilles in the dubious honour of his animagus form being the same sort of canine as the hound in the story.
He had lost nearly seventeen years of his son’s life, he would apologise for not being there for him. He hadn’t known but he wished he had, while he acknowledged his immaturity at the time he wouldn’t have wanted to have an illegitimate son.
Hindsight was always twenty-twenty, it was all well and good to say that he would have agreed to bond to a witch for the sake of a child but at barely seventeen and not yet graduated Sirius was horribly afraid that he would have reacted the same as his cousin-niece Tonks.
They were a lot alike; hot-headed, selfish, sex-fiends and Aurors.
Sirius had been very aware of her hero-worship before he was thrown in Azkaban and he was flattered by her following in his footsteps but he was disappointed that she hadn’t started an investigation as to his incarceration or had tried to help get him proved innocent.
What use was his being branded a murderer, traitor or escaped prisoner?
Was it to keep Harry a pawn for Albus to control? Why did the old man send Harry to the Dursleys?
Sirius put the thoughts out of his head and focused on doing his best on behalf of his son, he wasn’t sure what his ex-lover and mother of his child would have to offer but Sirius wanted to make Jacob’s current worth and future inheritance as large as possible. Sirius was willing to part with a bride price worthy of a future Lady Black even if Jacob wouldn’t be eligible to inherit the main Estate or titles.
XooooooX
It was much longer then Andromeda was comfortable with when the floo activated and three persons stepped out.
The younger of the two wizards looked exactly as she remembered her cousin looking like when her daughter was much younger and Sirius was going into his Seventh Year.
Andromeda rose imperiously, eying the boy critically but without disgust, rancour or annoyance. “Jacob Sagittarius I presume.”
The boy scowled at her, “And you would be?”
“Your sire’s eldest cousin Andromeda Black-Tonks.”
“My father is dead.” The boy said coldly.
Andromeda glared at his mother, “I’m sure she told you that to avoid troublesome questions. No I’m afraid that he is very much alive and wants to be a part of your life. He wasn’t even aware of your existence due to his being kidnapped and held captive against his will. Now that he is free and will soon be going about in public as such he is willing to grant you as much of an inheritance as he can.”
“I don’t need a sire.” The boy said with a familiar stubborn tone and up turned, distainful nose.
Andromeda turned to the presumed Mr. Krum and Jacob’s mother, “You are of course aware of the Lilithean situation?”
Both nodded.
The former Ravenclaw frowned, “I don’t know what game you are playing Mrs. Black-Tonks,”
“No game, Sirius was innocent of everything and it will be declared today and printed in the next edition of the Evening Prophet and the Daily Prophet. Now your son was visited
by a Lilithean.”
The witch flinched, “What of it? Most of the sexually mature students would have been.”
“Most however did not sire offspring. You removed your son before I could examine him, according to my exam of a young witch late this morning and the Black Family Tapestry your son is my cousin’s eldest child and Jacob has sired four babies.”
Jacob stiffened, “Really? Somehow I doubt that, I have not slept with any witch. My mother has taught me to respect women.”
“Good for her, I would hate for you to have inherited your sire’s looseness. Now, whatever your current feelings on the issue is they are your children and I’m sure that you would not want to abandon your children or their mother as a part of you no doubt feel that your sire did. He is willing to pay for the bride price on your behalf, he will likely offer you his own inherited property that was deeded to him before he was made Lord Black. I suspect he will grant you his own trust Vault now that he has access to the Main Black Vault. Whether you intend to ever use or accept them is beside the point.” Andromeda said sternly. “The mother of your children is a Lady, her father’s only heir and while you had the misfortune to not be born legitimate you will need to appear as properly well-off to ask for her hand. You are expecting two sons and two likely identical twin daughters. One of whom, likely the First born son will be granted the title and the entire Zabini Estate.”
“Is it a quiet Slytherin Fourth Year?” Jacob asked curiously.
“Her name is Caterina Arrosa Zabini and due to the circumstances of her pregnancy, you will need to be bonded with in two days preferably less. Were you to fail to do so she will likely be cast out of her family, her inheritance voided and the entire Zabini estate will be passed to her cousin Blaise by the goblins because it likely must be given to a wizard who is the closest in blood would be Blaise.”
“I thought you said you hadn’t slept with anyone.” His mother said curtly.
Andromeda cast a spell to detirmine how many sexual partners Jacob had had and it had zero. The trouble was that it numbered anyone in the room…
Charlie had three, Viktor two, his father one, Jacob’s mother one, herself one and Filius surprisingly had three.
She smirked, “My apologies the spell’s effectiveness is determined by the magical strength of the caster.”
“I would like to meet this girl to see proof that her offspring are my Jacob’s…” the witch said gruffly.
“I will want to discuss Jacob’s worth with his sire, he’s very talented student who has been essentially a ward of the Krum family since he was quite young. I have high hopes for him and he is promised employment within my company if he wishes it.” The elder wizard who looked a lot like Viktor only without the slightly wonky nose that was a result not doubt of Bludgers to the face spoke with a eastern European accent.
“Very well.” Andromeda conceded, “If you wish to give us your floo address then I will pass it to his sire and you can arrange to speak with him and our family solicitor in the morning.”
Mr. Krum Sr. nodded, “That will do. If possible I would like to attend his meeting with the sire of the bearer of Jacob’s children.”
“I suspect that would be more then probable.” Andromeda shrugged, “Since this is well in hand I will pass the information onto Sirius.”
With the matter tended to satisfactorily, Andromeda was the first to leave albeit reluctantly flooing directly to Sancus’ Diagon Alley office to give Sirius a report on her meeting with Jacob and his mother…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N: A few questions for my wonderful new and returned readers, between now and the reposting of the boys birth I have a question. The grandparents of their kids will include mostly honourary on Harry's side but the list is as follows: Lucius [and his mate], Sirius, Remus [and Sev], plus Andromeda and Ted. The question is what the boys should grow up calling them? I want each grandparent to have a special name like granddad, grandpa, Nono, Nana, Nona, Grand'mere ect. I read a fic that had Lucius prospectively called 'glamfather' which was short for glamourous grandfather. Give me ideas people!
BTW Emelia is not a typo! It has the same pronunciation as Amelia in this story just like Anne and Ann sound the same or Cristina, Kristina and Christina. Most of my Bones family members will have a name that starts with an 'E'.
For those of you interested since I had to rewrite the prologue to be able to repost this story on ff.net I combined the two here so if you want a peek at more of drarry shared dreams the 'seeking dreams' and not the Lilithean caused ones you can go read it!
Anon - Yay! It's possible that they'll have a more ceremonial bonding for their colleages to attend but I'm not sure yet. It depends on whether or not whether or not enough readers think it's needed.
Chaos Lady- I love you! It's nice to read your reviews and I'm sorry I'm so bad at updating. I'm jealous of writers like Starlight Massacre and Lomonaaeran who can keep to schedules.
staar - Keep in mind like Harry, Severus was told all the time by his parents- likely just his father but his mother never told him any differen that he was worthless, he was unlovable and that he was an embarrassment. Trust me when I say that sort of mental abuse causes real damage and scars that last a lifetime. You can get some help through counselling but it isn't something that will just disappear. He really does love Remus, he just doesn't believe he deserves anything good. He struggles to prove he's good as a Potions Master but no made how good or talented anyone tells him in his heart he doesn't believe he's good enough. With such terrible parents he doubts his own ability to be a good father or spouse, he is capable of being both but he is afraid he'll turn out to be a horrible person. He's cold with people because its how he protects himself, if I didn't know anybetter I'd say he was suffering from Asberger's syndrome as well as serious depression. I wouldn't call him a coward exactly but he is afraid, in his own weird way he is trying. Remus will jsut have to be patient but eventually they will have a good relationship likely with some temporary set backs due to Severus' childhood but Severus does want to be a good dad and he does want to be with Remus.
e.pressnell - Thank you! I really did try to be as original as possible with this plot line. I really hadn't read a fic with the idea of spontanious pregnancy that got drarry together without them sleeping together until after starting it. I hope you like the rest of the story just as much.
