To be fair all I saw was the Hogwarts Crest and Name, I just blanked out. I was way over the moon for sure. It felt imaginary. 'I'm really in his world' I thought. the next moment I ran to what I felt was the closest thing to a Rock was. I clang to my dads stomach with so much force I complete forgot to hold back. My dad did notice but probably left it to how devoted I was to my physical well being.
"Calm down, Have you even read the letter yet?"
I shrank from his stare, "I suppose I should read letters that come to me"
"That would be good. Lets start that with this one shall we?"
I lifted the letter and read

I finished reading and looked at my dad. "What special needs... am I stupid?"
"Hah No kiddo they probably just want to talk about your hearing and seeing ability" He said rubbing my shoulder
"Oh okay, I imagine we'll have to travel?"
"Yes kiddo, we have to travel not everything is within Night Flying distance" He said with a little glare
"Oh I uhh wonder who could those two weirdos be heh" I said quick walking away to my room.
"Who said anything about there being more than one person?" He said with a raised eyebrow to my back. "Don't worry I'll send Hogwarts an owl to meet us in two weeks"
"Okay I'm still going to write Daphne" I said running up to my room.
Regulus Black leaned back on the table watching his son zoom back up stairs to his room. 'That boy... He picks up on things a little to fast, the trainings I put him thru are meant for second years, his wand movements are those of a second year, his Magical History goes back 50 years ago. His mind is well above the capabilities of his body. That boy Doesn't know how much I've seen him practice with that strange magic only he can hear and see. I can barely understand the magic I do see. I've also heard him speaking to himself in multiple languages, including some less respected. The boy is just starting out' I thought flicking my wand and having a quill write

After my owl was sent to Hogwarts I sent a personal one to Dumbledore telling him of the actual strange magic that can actually create Materiel from almost nothing and the Materiel is stable years after creation and that is from a boy who knew almost nothing of magic. I wonder what in Merlins beard is coming

The moment I cleared my rooms door I closed it with a flick of my finger, with another I had the parchment in place and the quill writing "Dear Daphne, I hope this letter finds you healthy and well. I'm sending this letter to inform you that I've been accepted into Hogwarts and will be waiting for you at the sorting ceremony. Yours Rudeus" Not long after the owl left I saw Daphne's personal owl, Her feathers were a glossy dark green with gold pupils, fly to my desk and land Infront of me, on top of all the parchment I was using to calculate how much ores I will need when I start to forge. The owl stood tall and proud with an letter hanging like a necklace around her neck. I gave her five thick strips of bacon I asked the house elves to cook, because a thing like Kreacher is not good enough alone so we had purchased five new House elves and they were told and ordered to receive currency and using that currency, they were to purchase new clothing representing The House Of Black. Coming back from that tangent. I opened Daphne's letter.
"Hello Rudeus, Thank you and I hope my letter finds you better. I was accepted in to Hogwarts too. I hope what my mother and father said about the Sorting Ceremony is little more than hot air. I heard that Malfoy will also be with us at Hogwarts. If I were you I would ready myself for constant curses both magical and not. Yours Daphne." After reading the letter I felt the urge to growl loudly, even snarl if anyone else were here. Those cowardly foxes, bringing children into a war they lost because their master was little more than a shard of a human.
More Monster than Man was the thing his family served until the truth of his plan was known and a target placed on our back. So we did the Logical thing, we ran. We ran to Sirius, To Dumbledore. We told the white Wizard what dark magic that thing used to surpass his mortal life span. In return the White Wizard Cleared us after some time served in prison and not Azkaban. Only for Peter to betray the Potters, Harry's grandmother and Grandfather sacrificing themselves to protect harry and somehow killing the dark lord. His parents were meeting with Dumbledore about having Sirius being Harry's Godfather. During the battle Potter Grandparents managed to send a message to Lilly and James about the attack and that this was goodbye. Moments after the message Lilly and James apparated into Godric's Hollow only to find their home destroyed, their neighbors homes destroyed, but a cry could be heard thru the destruction. Lilly ran with a grace so blinding Lumos Maxima would be dim in comparison. James ran with a focus so unshakable, you would need an unbreakable vow to match its sheer world bending abilities. Both coming upon Harry in his generic baby cradle, sound asleep but with a lighting bolt scar on his forehead. Dumbledore seeing the scar immediately thought of the prophecy. "The Dark Lord shall Mark Him as His Equal" said Dumbledore also reminding Harry's parents that their son will pass through trials that only one shall live. Dumbledore also revealed what the Black Patriarch had told him. Harry's parents were terrified about the news so with the Potters blessings Dumbledore made plans to Prepare harry for any battle but to also help create a decent man in the process. With the potters still alive Peter Pettigrew was Immediately Charged with aiding the Dark Lord and an arrest warrant place on his head. Sirius Black Enraged by Peters Blatant Betrayal was out for blood. Sirius wanted to kill any death eaters especially when They attacked Godric's Hollow. As the story goes Sirius ended up killing 57 death eaters, and 89 Innocent Muggles Attempting to arrest Peter. Sirius was found guilty of Murdering 89 muggles and was sentenced to serve 13 years in Azkaban. The peace that followed soon was filled with more meetings and court dates for the Death eaters, The dementors Kiss was used on some. others were tolled to rot and thrown in Azkaban.
Thanks to my history classes I knew that the original Plot was already thrown out. I mean if that's how fate chose to have me come thru, fuck it. I'm also pretty sure I can use the ancient magic from the game Hogwarts Legacy game if I can remember correctly.
First HP Fanfic, Hope you enjoy
