Harry Potter never showed up to Hogwarts when he was supposed to. Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape went to investigate.
They arrived on Private Drive and went to number 4. After knocking Petunia Dursley yanked the door open.
"We are here to inquire about your nephew." Albus Dumbledore said. She walked right past them pulling her son behind her. "Mrs. Dursley."
"It's Evans!" Petunia screeched, "and I don't know anything about my nephew."
"I left him here 10 years ago. "
"Well , I never got him." She snapped, " Now I must get Dudley to school." Dudley was as skinny as his mother. "Away with you."
"Tuny!" Petunia spun looking at Severus Snape. "Where is Harry Potter?"
"I already told you I dont' know, Sev." she said and sighed looking tired. " I would guess with my sister."
"Lily and her husband died the night he was brought here." Severus informed. "You didn't know that?" He looked at Albus. "You told me you explained all this."
"it was in the letter I left with HArry." Albus replied, trying to think of where the boy could have gone. " If she didn't get Harry she didn't read the note."
"You didn't hand Potter directly to her?!" Severus was seething. "I also feel no wards around this house."
"Lily is dead?" Petunia clutched her heart. "How did she die?"
Dudley was clinging to his mother's free hand and eyeing the people across from them . His friend and his mother came up.
"Petunia , dear. " Mrs. Polkiss said, "Are you okay?"
"Yes." Petunia said, "Will you please take Dudley to school with you? I was just told my sister is dead and her son missing."
"Oh, yes of course." Mrs. Polkiss herded both boys to her call. After Petunia kissed Dudley. "I'll make sure they get there just fine."
We will now be cutting back to the past and continuing the story.
Dumbledore and McGonagall left Harry on the step of Number 4 but unknown to them someone was watching. Sirius Black came up and grabbed Harry he cast a few baby warming Charms on Harry that Lily had taught him. He then Apperated. Harry slept on.
Sirius didn't want to leave his Godson but knew that people would accuse him of taking the child. Then he thought he wasn't guilty of anything and Harry was his Godson so what did it matter. He knew he had some family in the Caribbean so he headed their after transferring the Black and Potter vaults. He payed the Goblins to make sure the Vaults all vanished and that the Potter vaults were transferred into another name to later be decided. They agreed and hid the records.
Sirius hated international travel but finally arrived at the right address. A man and woman answered the door and let them in. Harry was once again asleep.
"Lord Black." The man said . Eyeing the man and child. "How may we help you?"
"Sanctuary ." Sirius declared . Noting that it seemed to be a Blackwell family reunion. "I Lord Black request Sanctuary from Lord Blackwell."
"I Lord Blackwell grant Sanctuary." the man said simply. "Are you hungry, Cousin?"
"Thank you." Sirius said, " I'm Sirius Black. I know we've never met before but Britain thinks I betray my best friend to their Dark Lord and want to throw me in Azkaban. Do you want a son an Heir?"
The woman gasped eyes flicking to the baby in Sirius' arms.
"This is my Godson." Sirius said showing everyone. "I know I'm not fit to raise him and don't want him in Britain. My Uncle Alphard told me about you guys and how you could not have an heir. He used to tell me stories all the time about you two. You can say he's a late in life baby. You're little miracle . That's what Lily called him. "
"You would do this for us, Lord Black?" the woman sobbed . Taking the child in her arms. "What is the catch?"
"He can never know he is Harry Potter. " Sirius said, though it pained him . "and you have to let me visit him that's all. Like I said I'm not fit to raise the kid . I think you should blood adopt him. "Sirius' mind was working over time. He pulled out all the paperwork he'd done for Harry. "I'll go with you to Gringotts and get everything set up. Just say yes."
"Yes. " they chorused .
Sirius beamed when he entered the Blackwell house. His Godson was still his Godson and he was brilliant. Now his name was Balthazar Helios Blackwell. He was now 11.
In contrast to Britain here they started school at age 4 and took N.E.W.T's at age 14. The rest of the four years working on Job placements and getting Apprenticeships.
"Uncle Siri!" Balthazar cheered, running over. "I missed you!"
Balthazar had black hair down to his shoulders that was always curly like Nephertiti Blackwell his mother . He had the Black eyes. He was tall for his age like his father Helios Blackwell. Though Sirius could see Lily and James in the boy still it was mostly in the form of his personality .
Sirius spun the boy over his head.
"Today, is the first day of school, what are you still doing here?" Sirius asked, setting him down. "Shouldn't you be on your way to school?"
"I tested out." Bal said, with a shrug. Sitting his recliner next to the bookshelves in the living room and covering up again. " Besides that I'm really sick."
Sirius was worried at once.
"What do you have?"
"Leukemia." Nephertiti cried. She gave Sirius a desperate look. He hadn't mentioned a family history of cancer. But she saw the horror dawn on the man's face.
"May I use your floo?" Sirius asked, "I need to call Britain"
Sirius was talking to Remus his old school friend on the Floo and didn't know that the Order of the Phoenix was at the man's house.
"Hey, Remy i can't come back for awhile." Sirius said, making the Order exchange looks.
"Why?" Remus asked, "Harry is still missing!"
"I know that." Sirius growled, " But remember the Blackwell family I told you about?"
"The one that you said you visited a lot since childhood? "Remus asked, he had always thought Sirius' wild tales about the Blackwell's had been lies. But he'd talked about them still to this day and had said they had named him Godfather to their only son. Which they had had very late in life. " The ones who named you Godfather to their Heir?"
That shocked the Order.
"Right." Sirius said, "His names Balthazar and he's real sick." Sirius explained, "he's got Leukemia and I'm staying here to help them out. Pure-Bloods that they are they can't figure out how the hell he caught a Muggle Cancer. Neither can I to be honest. They are as Pure as we Black's are only they never interbred. So it's amazing that my little Bal his sick but he is. I'm sure Harry would understand, Moony. "
"Well, can I come out there?" Remus asked, he was desperate to see his friend and Lover. "Maybe I could find some work there."
"Sorry, now's not a good time." Sirius replied, "He's only a kid and I think he's really scared. " they watched him look over his shoulder than looked back grinning. "Best news though." He beamed, " Remember when I told you that the school system is different here?"
"Yeah." Remus said slowly, "They start school at 4 finish at 14 what about it?"
"Bal is 11 and he tested out!" Sirius declared, "That means he got all his Mastery's! He's a brilliant boy! you should see him in the Potion's lab. I swear he's even better than ol' Snape."
That shocked Remus. Not that the boy was so smart but that Sirius had called Severus Snape Snape.
"That's great, Padfoot. " Remus said, calmly. Sirius had never mentioned that his other Godson was also 11. "I doubt that he'd need me to tutor him then. Too bad . "
"Yeah, sorry." Sirius looked over his shoulder again and said something that they couldn't hear. Then looked back. "I have to go, Bal wants me."
He ended the call and Remus looked at the Order confusion written all over his face.
