Harry Potter – The New Dawn - Chapter 5

”Why did you do that?” Asked Orion

”Are you serious? She attacked the only hope of this family and you did nothing to stop her. Your brain really rot after you marry her. I can only feel disappointed with you.” Answered my grand grandfather.

”You were supposed to be the next patriarch all I did for you was to make you ready for the position you were almost ready for it. Then you decide to fall for her looks like many of this family even when she comes from the side that is obsessed with the bad representation of our family motto. Your faith in her has blinded you” My grand grandfather keeps saying with a really disappointed voice.

Orion couldn’t talk back at all. He was looking to the floor and I could see he was ashamed. I could see that without his wife he is like a child to my grand grandfather. But he keeps trying even with all this. Then Orion says ”But he is only a child. Sirius didn’t have a lot of blood purity neither any give, on the other hand, Regulus has the strongest Occlumency even stronger than me. I know he did a terrible mistake but if you can help him I’m sure he will be the best patri”

”ARE YOU DEAF? I ALREADY TOLD YOU HE IS THE NEXT HEIR OF THIS HOUSE. IF YOU HAD LISTEN TO ME WHEN IT MATTER YOU AND YOUR SONS WOULD BE THE HEIRS AND I WOULD NOT BE FORCED TO PUT ALL THE HOPES OF THE FAMILY ON A BABY” My grand grandfather roar to Orion.

”And besides, he is the purest Black ever born since the family founder he got a 100% purity and all the gives of our blood” My grand grandfather told him at the end.

Orion is stunned yet again I start to think that’s his normal state. ”How is that possible he is not pure blood” he said while pointed at me.

”That’s what I try to teach you so long ago and you ignore. We got all those gifts on our blood by a ritual. If you put too much magic the magic nullifies itself. The same happens when you put another ritual on the blood. That’s why almost all the families are losing the abilities that come from their houses” My grand grandfather said as if it were explained to a child.

No wonder why there are the Sacred Twenty-Eight houses, families that did rituals to get power since long ago. And that explains why they are dying and there are almost no members now. I think I got an extra idea why they are dying this fast too but I need more information. Oh well, another thing to do in the future.

Orion has a face that shows that he finally understands and at the same time is so full of regret. I think he is thinking all the chances he loses the moment he decides to go against my great grandfather. ”Orion is time for you to leave. I’m sure you will not say anything about Arcas gifts. We will not meet ever again. Have a fullying life and start dealing with your own decisions. I got a lot to do” My grand grandfather says before he gives his back to Orion.

I can see on his face those words are the last feelings of a father. I saw Orion walking to the fireplace and leave but I’m sure before leaving he looked at his father for the last time.

Suddenly my great grandfather took me in his arms and told me. ”That went worst than I thought maybe was a mistake to call them. Well is time to make you the heir officially don’t you think little bear?”. He walked for many hallways till we are in front of the original family tree and is massive I must say. He then took his wand and pointed at me and say.

”I Arcturus Black III current patriarch of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black name you Arcas Black the new true heir of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. From this day you are my child and I will be your protector” I can see how in the tree a new branch begins to leave the tree directly from my grand grandfather’s name. But is different from the others this one is black and gold on the name.

Finally, I’m named and become the heir. From now on I am and always will be Arcas Black.
