Desperate need for Family.

Bellatrix was happy when she woke up, yesterday was wonderful, she got a son and scared her baby cousin. Thinking back to her time in Azkaban, she shivered remembering her other cousin, she wondered how he would feel if the doggy knew his brother was alive. “Well probably not good” she muttered to herself giggling a little bit. He would probably feel betrayed and probably cry. ‘Doggy was always a bit of a crybaby, he couldn't even take a bone breaking curse without whining about it. Oh I wonder if my baby can- such a pretty, pretty baby.’ She got up going to the conjoined door for her and her baby's room. Opening the door and seeing….. nothing. ‘what no that can't be right-’ The bed was perfectly made and there was no sign of her baby. She panicked, pulling the bed apart. ‘no No NO MY BABY’ She went to the bathroom, opening the door and seeing nothing, closet nothing, under the bed NOTHING. Where did her baby go? What did her miserable wrench of a cousin do? Slamming the door open and stomping to her cousin's room, she blew the door open, her magic lashing out. “WHAT DID YOU DO?”

Completely unaware of the happenings upstairs the boy was trying to find the kitchen in the massive castle, he wanted to make breakfast for his momma and the man with pink socks. “Reg…Reggie…Regular…Ronald” he giggled he had no idea what the man's name was. He still felt bad about his m…magic hurting the man.

“Hatching we should not be up, your new nest mother will be worried” Datura hissed coiling around his neck.

“It will be fine Datura, she will probably want it. I want her to keep me, and the Dursley's always wanted me to make their breakfast.” The boy looked at his hand, he knew that his palms were scarred from the times Aunt Petunia put his hand on the pan he just couldn't see it. He was startled out of his thoughts when he felt Datura put her tongue in his ear. “Ewwwww datura, that's gross,” he said, giggling.

“Yes, well you looked sad, anyway if you insist on going to the kitchen maybe you should get help hatchling.”

“No I can't ask momma I want it to be a surprise” he was pouting.

“Hatchling I don't mean your nest mother, I ment the weird cat thing that smells like earth and spice”

“Oh the elf thing that momma asked for yesterday? I forgot about that.” The boy stood up straight, trying to remember the words his momma said to get the elf. “ Oh! Um can..can the head elf come here p..please.?” he wanted for a second startling a little when there was a pop behind him. Turning around he saw the same little elf that he saw yesterday.

“Oh um h..hello I was um wondering if..if you could take me to the..the kitchen?” He said unconsciously moving so his back was against the wall.

“Miss Bella's son not be’s in kitchen” the elf said simply.

“But…but why not? I can make food and I'm a good cook. I won't cause any trouble and I will clean up afterwards!” The boy explained, confused as to why he was not allowed in the kitchen. Datura reared up, upset that the cat thing was telling her hatchling no.

The small elf was scandalized at the notion of the young boy cooking and cleaning. The boy was powerful and she could see the waves of magic coming off of him. Most house elves have a form of mage sight and they would see the power coming off the 6 year old. She would have to warn the younger elf's so they didn't react too strongly to the young boy.

“Yous be powerful little master, No! Elves work for yous. But I take yous to watch us work, come.” She said, motioning him to follow. She would warn the kitchen elf's when she got there.

“But I don't understand!? I'm a good cook and I wanted to surprise my momma. It's not elves' work, that's dumb!” he said, following the elf into the kitchen.

The kitchen was huge, it was more modern then he expected, it had big white and black marble countertops and lots of darkwood cabinets. The stove was odd, and looked old. There was no microwave or anything that could be a modern electronic. There were three more elves running around and preparing what looked like breakfast. They all stopped once they felt the magic coming off the small boy.

“This be’s the kitchen little master. I's be Nixie and this be’s Alppy, Drude, and Lucy they’s be working in kitchen. Theys be nice.” Nixie said with a glare at the other elves making sure they were respectful to the little master. She hoped that showing the little master the clean kitchen and that breakfast was being prepared would stop him from wanting to cook. Unfortunately it only seemed to excite him.

“Oh! Hello, I've never had help in the kitchen before…um just let me know how to help.” The boy smiled brightly, his snake glaring menacingly at the elves as they started shaking their heads in alarm.

“NO! Yous no be cooking, get out!” One of the house elves yelled, Drude he thought it was.

“ WHY NOT?! IM STAYING HERE!” The boy yelled, plates shattering. Nobody was explaining anything to him. His magic was lashing out; he didn't understand he just wanted to help! His snake coiling tighter around him. He didn't hear the footstep running in behind him. He only noticed when a hand gently grabbed his shoulder. Snapping him out of his anger.

“Darling! there you are I was so worried you left, little love” His momma was hugging him from behind. He looked around and could see all the glassware he had broke from his outburst. He didn't understand his freakishness had never been this bad before. He really wanted to stay, he couldn't understand why his body was going against him.

“Momma I'm s..sorry I don't know w..what's happening to…to me. I promise I'm not normally t..this freakish. I'm good, I p…promise. “ He said, trying not to cry, that always only made his punishment worse.

“Shhhh my precious boy, you're not a freak, your magic is powerful, you are powerful. Now tell me what has you so upset, my dear.” His momma turned him around so he was facing her. She was still in her nightclothes. Her hair was all over and matted. She had a crazy smile on her face and dried tear marks. She was still the prettiest person he had ever seen.

“Well I..I want to surprise you and the man but Nixie said that I..I wasn't allowed! I'm a good cook a…and I'm good at cleaning! How else am I going to...to earn my keep!? They won't explain why I…I can't! I want y..you and the man to keep me! I don't understand!” He said curling in on himself.

“My darling, you are still learning the ways of the most ancient and noble Black family so do not be discouraged. House elves are the servants of powerful families. They cook, clean, garden, and make sure the house runs appropriately. Most of your pureblood witches and wizards never do these tasks.” She said, picking him up and cuddling close, carrying him to the dining room. The man from last night was already there sitting at the head of the large table, he was shaking slightly. The man glared at his momma when they sat down, momma just smiled cruelly and continued to talk.

“These house elves are bonded to us, they use the magic of the house and its occupants in order to survive. Now unlike other pureblood families, we use a dark magic ritual that makes the bond go both ways. It makes us able to use their magic and they can use ours if they so choose. The more powerful the witch or wizard, the more elves they are able to bond too. Unfortunately my aunt had a severe case of black madness and would torture and behead the house elves. This worsened the bond she had with them and eventually made it so she could never bond with a house elf again.” The man glared at her and interrupted.

“My mother was a despicable woman who used the madness as a excuse to torture her family and help, do not fill the boys head with lies and make it seem as if she was a poor soul who was suffering.”

“Yes, yes Reggie she cursed and abused you. I couldn't even imagine what that would feel like.” His momma said, rolling her eyes. He was happy he got Reggies name though. “Moving on, The black family has always been a bit different than other pureblood familie. Both in good ways and bad, but with you my precious baby we will restore the black house to the proper glory. so take pride in the house you joined. The black family is known to have household skills, as well as weapon and hand to hand combat skills as it makes us more desirable to marriage suitors.” His momma said with a sad smile on her face. Breakfast appeared on the table with many plates. He didn't know if he was allowed to have the food but he didn't need to worry as his mother started to dish him up before continuing to talk.

“My mother and father were not kind people, they didn't believe that soulmates were a gift from Lady magic and chose to disregard them and set up arranged marriages for me and all my sisters. A soulmate is a very sacred gift from magic, it's a person or multiple people who fit perfectly with you and your magic. They should always be treated with the respect and you should never get in the way of a matted pair. Your aunt Cissy was lucky and her arranged marriage was to her soulmate, they have a baby dragon! Oh! You two will have to meet, you're much better than a baby dragon. My other sister Andromeda was disowned for going after her soulmate, he was unfortunately a mudblood but lady magic rewarded them with a powerful Metamorphmagus baby. I on the other hand rejected my soulmate for my parents approval. I married Rodolphus Lestrange.” His momma's face went blank as she finished her food.

“Does….Does everybody have a soul mate… um what about R.. Reggie?” The boy asked, looking over to the man. He looked sad but spoke.

“Yes I had a soulmate, I had two unfortunately one of them is dead and the other is lost. Almost all wixen have a soulmate regardless of blood stasis. Some lucky people have more than one. You should have a mark on your body that represents your soulmate, they tend to look like a muggle tattoo. When your soulmate touches your hand the mark will fill in with color. If you have more than one then only a part of your mark will fill in until you meet your other. Some wixen like to show off their soul mark and others typically pureblood like to keep that private.” Reggie said sadly.

“Oh… I don't have a mark.” He frowns hugging Dantra to himself. He thought it would be wonderful to have a person made just for him, someone who wouldn't mind his m..magic. they would love and take care of him. Maybe he just didn't deserve to have someone like hi-

“And that brings us to our next topic! We need to get you checked out at Gringotts, you magic is powerful and if I remember correctly at the disgusting muggle house, you have magic blocking your true beauty. Now come let's go get dressed and my dear cousin Reggie with show us to the nearest Gringotts.” His momma said glaring at Regulus, picking up her son and bringing him upstairs to get changed.

)()()()()()()()()()()()(Desperate Need For Family )()()()()()()()()()()()(

The closest Gringotts was in Munich, it was about four hours away. Luckily they were magical so it took no time at all. The building looked like a modern day bank from the outside, seeing as they were just entering the magical district for Munich. Regulus was still reeling from all that had happened the last two days, he was just sitting and enjoying a cuppa when his insane cousin broke in with a stolen child on her hip. Not only that but the child was powerful and had been having magical outbursts non-stop. He was absolutely draped in magic and had his Lord's power of talking to snakes. The only problem was the boy looked like a disciple Potter.

“Now Gringotts is run by goblins-” Regulus started.

"Goblins?" The child's eyes lit up with excitement. He was hidden behind Bella's leg,with that snake of his wrapped around his neck.

"Yes, nasty little creatures but never be disrespectful to something that guards your gold now don't interrupt me." Regulus sneered. “ Goblins are known for being greedy and will try to take advantage of you. However this is because they have never been treated properly by wixen. Most purebloods don't respect goblins or magical creatures as they see them less then. This is only really a problem in America and The United Kingdom, other magical countries are more advanced in the way they interact with magic creatures. Now I will not allow you to fall under the same ideals as my cousin in this.” Regulus glared at Bella, he was not going to let her ruin a perfectly good child with her black madness. She just stuck her tongue out at him and pulled the child closer.

“Now I am going to put a translation spell on you, so you can speak and understand the language. In time I will be teaching you German so you can understand the locals. “ He waved his wand at the child. “Can you understand me?” the boy gave him a small nod. “ Ok, now I am going to greet the goblins properly this first time so you can understand how to do it.” He walked up to a teller making sure his party was following him and the boy was watching.

“Greetings Teller goblin, may your gold ever flow, and your enemies fall against your mighty blade.” He said with a respectful bow, making sure that the boy did a small bow too. “I require a private room with the black account manager, and a goblin healer if you could, thank you.”

The goblin nodded and motioned for him and his group to follow. They were led to a room with an expensive looking desk and big comfortable chairs. They were told to sit down and wait for the black account manager. “Now when Sharptooth walks in I want you to greet him like I did to the bank teller. Do you think you can do that?” He said the boy looked unsure, Bellatrix leaned down and whispered something in his ear and he hesitantly nodded at me.

About 15 minutes later a goblin walked in. “I apologize for the wait, I just came from the Briten branch. Now what can I do for you?” The goblin said before taking a seat and finally looking up. “Oh? Heir Black and Lady Lastrange, and who might you be?” The boy looked at Regulus and then Bellatrix and when she gave him a nod he put on a brave face and answered.

“Greetings.. um Goblin SharpTooth May your gold ever flow, and your enemies suffer your wrath, I..I don't know who I am.. that's why we're here.” The boy said cuddling closer to Bellatrix as she whispered praise in his ear.

“Yes, he is correct. We are here to receive an inheritance test, a full medical scan and if possible a full cleanse. We have asked for a Goblin Healer already.” just like a muscle spasm or something you're dying over there cute pants

“I see, the standard fee for an inheritance test is 10 gallons, and the standard fee for a medical scan is 7 gallons. I will need several drops of blood and to gather the proper potion. Is that acceptable?

“Yes, that should be fine, please let us know when the materials are ready, and when the goblin healer gets here.” He said as the goblin left. Looking at the boy he was talking quietly with his snake and Bellatrix.

“It's just like when I let you into the wards, it's just going to be a prick on your finger and I will heal it so it feels like nothing happened, remember I promised that nothing would hurt you when I'm around.” It was odd seeing his cousin so caring about something normally she was just spitting curses and half mad.

Just then Sharp-tooth return with a female goblin trailing behind him.“I am healer Silver-Fang. Let us continue the inheritance and medical scan. First account manager Sharp-tooth will do the inheritance test and then I will do your medical scan in the cleansing room.” Sharp-tooth grabbed the things needed for the test and gave a small dagger to the boy as he put blood on the paper the results started showing.

Regulus glared at the paper as if it had personally offended him. Bellatrix was livid, how dare that absolute monster of a headmaster touch her baby. How dare those disgusting muggles touch her precious flower. How dare Severus, one of her closest friends, discarded such a wonderful child. She was going to kill them all, ‘no no, I need to be there for hemlock, my precious flower-’

“I want a cleanse of those disgusting blocks and charms, as well as a full medical scan. I don't care about the cost. Please just heal him.” He clung to Hemlock tighter, her poor babe. She kissed the top of his head. “It will be ok flower, I will keep you safe I promise. My perfect hemlock.” She whispered to the small boy.

“Disgusting, Albus is an absolute disgrace to magic. Blocking a child's core, placing him in an abusive home, and hiding his magic. No wonder it's lashing out, the blocks are breaking and he needs to be cleaned. Not to mention the poor child has a horcrux.” Silver-Fang growl's out “Come follow to the ritual room, Hemlock will need to be alone for his cleansing but you may watch outside of the room.” she says standing up and leading them to the room.

It was a bright white room and completely spotless. There was a stone slab in the middle and 6 other goblin healers already preparing the space. “Don't worry darling I will just be right over there with Reggie. I will watch over you and Dantra will be safe with me I swear” She said, grabbing the snake and wrapping it around her. Her flower walk over to the slab and laid down ‘so brave, my brave flower-’ the goblins started chanting in a language she didn't know. Her baby was so strong not make a sound till the very end. She ran over as soon as she was giving the all clear. “Baby, you're ok, you look so pretty. Like a true Black, shh it's ok.” She said, wiping the sweaty hair off his forehead.

“Mom..momma?” Her baby said groggy soon passing out.

“What happened, is he ok? Is my baby ok?” she said pulling him into her arms and kissing his forehead.

“Yes he is ok he needs to heal, let him rest in the medical room. He will be out for a few days at most you may stay with him Lady Lastrange, Heir Black May also stay he will be ok, follow” Silver-Fang said making sure that hemlock was ok. Laying him on the bed and looking at the boy. “ I feel that it would be best if I do his medical scan now, as to not hurt him more when he wakes up”

“Yes that is fine please”She was so worried for her baby, she was going to kill everyone who had hurt him.

As the healer did the medical scan Reggie sat next to her. “ We will raise him together it is how lady magic wishes. We will be equals in raising him. When he is older he can decide if he wants to know his birth parents and my brother.” Reggie said in a calm tone watching the boy as he got his medical scan.

“I agree we will protect him and give him a proper childhood. Teach him all forms of magic he is mine now and nothing will get in the way of that.” She said just as the healer finished.

“I have good and bad news, he is clean of all blocks and charms, the glamor has been removed and his soul marks look healthy. The bad news is that he will need to have bones broken and regrown, he is suffering from malnutrition and the horcrux did not get removed. He will need to be on a potion regimen and kept asleep for about a week while he is healing. The horcrux is not dangerous in fact it seems to be protecting him, which is most likely a cause of the horcruxes owner being the father and the parental bond is still held strong. Now you may both say as he is getting his healing and you will both be required to make sure he stays healthy. I would like to see him monthly to see how his healing is coming along” Silver-Fang said waile making sure Hemlock was comfortable.

“We agree thank you for taking care of my flower, we will stay and watch after him.” She said, stroking Dantras' head. As she got settled into a long week with Regulus, they both came to agreeable terms. They decided that they would raise him in hiding with them. Teach him everything there was to know about light and dark magic as well as politics and everything he would need to know to be a proper pureblood heir. He would learn everything a true Black child would learn. They would let him make his own choice regarding his schooling and any future partner he wished to have. They would teach him the Slytherin way as he was the heir of Slytherin. They would never lay a hand nor spell on him and if they did their magic shall be taken as punishment. When he was old enough they would need to send him to Hogwarts to make sure the old fool didn't get suspicious. They would protect and love Hemlock as if he was there own. They would prepare him for the future, after all their master had a Heir and he was sure to rise again.
