Capítulo 22: Meeting the Blacks.
A/N: Look up Morgan Le Fey from the TV show, Merlin. That's how Helena looks like. As for Dorea, she's Kiera Knightly. MC can look however you want him to look.
Ana? Hmm.. a blonde Emma Stone. And Darla, I'm taking suggestions. I'd prefer known lesbian actresses though.
Yes, I realized I uploaded the last chapter twice, it was not intentional. I think it was either a network issue, or a WebNovel issue. I deleted the 2nd chapter.

28th August, 1937:
It's been about a few days since I was promoted to Healer. I haven't done anything other than sitting in my house, reading, training in Combat, or just spending time with Helena. Sometimes Dorea would join us, or Helena would leave me and Dorea to have fun.
It was a bit difficult, balancing my relationships between the two, but I was coping. Helena would sleep with me now, most of the days, and even Dorea would join our bed some days.
It wasn't all fun though. I had to go meet with Dorea's Family, before she's allowed to marry me. But, I'll deal with it when the time comes. My problem came from the fact that I was going to be allowed to marry only a single girl.
Helena didn't mind. She practically gave me a free pass to marry Dorea. She wanted to simply live, and if possible, expand the Raven family.
I did manage to get her the necessary documents. For her schools, I simply went in a girls school, and forged whatever documents I needed by conjuring them.
Birth certificate of Helena Morgan Raven, born 14th September, 1919, and left in an orphanage. The Orphanage caretakers even remember raising her, thanks to me. Later, she was adopted by a young couple, who soon died in an accident.
As for the magical side, I got the Goblins to forge documents that say she was a Home-schooled Witch, taught by the couple that adopted her. She did have to go and get her OWLs and NEWTs herself, but she did it easily enough.
The only problem, was going to be if someone recognises her face, and the fact that they might realize that the Ravenclaw ghost is missing. I took care of that, by using the Diadem.
The Diadem wasn't just a training tool, as I found out once my training was complete. Rowena made sure I was as strong as her, when using telepathy, and even Telekinesis, in the 3 years I'd been using the Diadem.
Once that was over, Rowena informed me that the Diadem is an amplifier for our Psionic powers. Thankfully, it is bound to our family line, meaning no one else can use it. I'll have to make something like that for me, which looks less like a Queen's crown, for me.
Using the Diadem to amplify my powers, I changed the memories of everyone in Hogwarts, including the Headmaster, and Dumbles, whose shields I could now bypass, so that they all think that the Grey Lady vanished some 20 years ago, and she looked a bit different.
I basically changed the face of Helena, in their minds, to look like Rowena.
It wasn't easy, as first of all, I had to go inside the school to do that. Secondly, while Occlumency might not show them the true memories again, as my Telepathy is stronger, it might tell them that something is wrong.
I don't mind anyway. Even if anyone realizes, what are they going to do? Try and arrest her? Yeah, that's going to go well. She's been learning from her mother's spirit using the diadem. While she won't ever be as strong as me, she is getting just as good at using it as me.
If I had to compare, my telepathy was a few levels above Xavier from X-men: Days of Future past, and telekinesis was at the level of Jean Grey, from The Last Stand. I can't do the Disintegration stuff yet, but I think that's only because I'm not the Phoenix Host.
I can do the rest though. Separate a gun into it's parts, separate anything into it's parts really, sure. Stop bullets, arrows, spells, etc fired at me? With a thought. Fly around at high speeds? Sure! I'll just hold an oval TK shield in front of me to prevent Air drag, for subsonic speeds, and a conical shield for supersonic speeds.
One funny thing that happened, is Dorea, Darla, and Ana. Seeing both me and Helena fly nonchalantly, they've decided to learn how to fly using their magics too. It was hilarious, if not a bit sad.
But, knowing the girls like I do, they'll have it down within a few years.
Speaking of, Ana had joined her father, and brother in the family business of selling Potion ingredients. But, she was also working towards a Charms mastery.
Darla, joined the Auror training, as she had the necessary NEWTs. But, she was also looking to get an apprenticeship under a Transfiguration Master. It's.. a tough road for her, being a muggleborn. I was going to teach her myself, if nothing comes of it in a few months. I did show her my Tomes, but they can't take advantage of them as I can.
Speaking of, after mastering my Psionic Powers, I could now absorb any one Tome per month, and not get knocked out for days. A pretty good progress, if I do say so myself.
Dorea had her last year left now, and she was gearing up for a DADA, Charms, or Transfiguration mastery.
But now, I was sitting in my Library, which was filled with the copies of the books from Aves and Slytherin Vaults, along with the hundreds of Tomes on different subjects, with the Resurrection Stone in my hand. I was going to have a new ring made, different than this one, anyway.
Spinning it in my hands three times, I whisper, "Harrison Aves."
"Grandson." Harrison Aves, my grandfather, who abandoned my squib mother to the Orphanage, greets me.
"Grandfather." I nod, greeting him back.
I'm still not sure whether to hate him or not. I do hate him for the fact that he abandoned my mother only because she was not magical, which also led her to being raped by the bastard. But, on the other hand, that was in the 1890s. I'm just thankful he didn't kill her along with it. That time was a dangerous time, and wizards are particularly immoral when it comes to Squibs.
"I have a question." I say, looking into the eyes of my grandfather, who was looking around the Library, and picking at some books, unsuccessfully.
Harrison nods, and says, "Ask away. I'm obligated to answer any of your questions, as long as they don't break the laws."
Okay.. keeping my question aside, I ask, "What are the laws?"
Grandfather opens his mouth, but then drones out, "I actually can't tell you that. It breaks the laws."
So, first rule of Death Realm? Don't talk about the Death Realm. Got it.
"How did you know who I was, as soon as you were summoned?" I ask instead.
Grandfather grunts, and says, "I just did. I knew your name, your age, and the fact that you were Marigold's son. That's it."
Okay, that's it for now.
Or not. I nod at him, and ask, "Who was the one that cast the Fiendfyre spell that killed our family?"
My family, the Aves, were 7 in number when they'd died, and I even had a year old cousin. Well, a year old when he died. He would have been 35-40 now. I got that much from the records kept in the Vault. Unfortunately, the records got cut off due to the death of the whole family. Not even the House Elves survived, and I know. I tried calling out for them by names.
Grandfather thinks a bit, and says, "He introduced himself as old Bagshot's nephew, and that she sent him. We invited him inside, but he stunned us immediately. Never knew his name. He came to us to ask something about the Diadem, like we knew where Rowena's Diadem was."
Gellart. Motherfucking. Grindelwald. So he was evil before he even began this crusade. What was he? 17-18 when he attacked my family?
"Continue." I command, clenching my fists. While I did not know my family, and even hate them at times, they were my family. And Gellart attacked my family. He's going to die.
Grandpa nods, and says, "He tortured poor Minnie.. your uncle's wife, when we said we didn't know anything. And he was strong. He defeated all 6 of us capable wizards within minutes of us saying 'come in', and killed the House Elves so they don't interrupt."
Taking a moment to glare at open space, he says, "When he was finally convinced that we didn't know anything, he began asking about the Peverells. We told him everything we knew about them, fearing for our lives. My grandson was only one, and I wanted him to live at least.
"I told him about the possible families descended from the Peverells, Dumbledore, Black, Longbottom, Potters, Bones, Evanshades, and even the Carrows. So he said, 'Good.' And fired Fiendfyre inside the house. All of us were under the Petrification spell, and couldn't even move! And that Bastard simply burned all of us down!"
Dismissing my angry Grandfather with just willing him to go, I drop the stone on the table. Grindelwald somehow knew of our Family's connection to Rowena Ravenclaw. He tortured my family for the Diadem.
Thank God, I have the Fidelius on all my properties. I'll have to ward the Building properly too.
"You heard that?" I ask, looking in the corner.
Helena becomes visible again, and says, "Yes." Sitting on my lap, and resting her head on my shoulder, she asks, "What are you going to do?"
Circling my hands around her, I answer, "I'm not going to try and find him, if that's what you mean. But, if I get the chance, Gellart Grindelwald is dying. He's a threat to our family, and I can't let him live."
If I remember correctly, he's got some talent in Divination, and uses smoke to divine future events. So, he's going to see me coming, I'm sure of that.
But, he can only see me coming if I purposefully go after him. Not when I come across him.
"Come. It's my turn today." Helena says, pulling me towards the bedroom, making me smile instinctively.

"So, what do you do, Mr Aves?" Cygnus Black asks, sipping his wine glass.
A few days ago, I had finally accepted the Black family's invitation to have dinner with them. Right now, we were in a mansion in Hampshire, at the dinner table.
Cygnus, Dorea's father, was sitting at the head of the table, with her brother Pollux to his right, and his wife Violetta to his left. Cygnus was about as old as Dumbledore, same with his wife, while Pollux was in his twenties.
Pollux's wife, Irma was sitting to his right, and their daughter Walburga to her right. Cassiopeia was sitting beside the mother, with Dorea, and then me next to her. Walburga's 5 year old brother, Alphard, was sitting between Cassiopeia and her mother, and was silently eating.
Looking up at Cygnus, I answer, "Currently, I'm managing my Family Vaults, until I get of age. I'm a certified Healer, you see, but can't join until 21." I shrug and return to my food.
Walburga snorts, and says, "What Hospital would hire a mudblood like you anyway?"
Pollux frowns at her behavior, while Irma has a smile on her face, half hidden by the wine glass. Cygnus smiles at her, and says, "Ah, granddaughter. We don't talk to our guests like that."
Rolling her eyes, Dorea says, "Just so you know, Mason is from the Noble house of Aves. It was destroyed a few decades ago, but he's the son of the lost daughter of the last Head."
Of course, she didn't mention that said daughter was a squib.
Patting Dorea on her hand, I say, "Mudblood, half-blood, Pure blood. Wizard is wizard. If any mudblood can cast the same two word spell as any other Pure blood, we all die the same anyway."
I said that so casually, that Walburga shuts up, while little Alphard looks smug, for some reason. Did Walburga start bullying him or something?
Shaking my head, I look at Dorea's mother, I smilingly say, "This pie is wonderful, Mrs Black."
Thank God, calling people Lord and Lady was dropped a few centuries ago. I would not have been able to say it with a straight face. I've read too many fanfics to not laugh.
"Oh, thank you dear. Would you like some more?" Violetta Black asks, making no moce to actually offer it.
I nod, and say, "If you please."
"Kreacher!" Violetta shouts, summoning a young House Elf. Goddamn, is Kreacher actually this old?!
I look at Kreacher put another piece of pie on my plate, and subtly check his mind for any extra ingredients. Thankfully, nothing's added.
Using this opportunity, I use Telepathy, and see what Dorea's family thinks of me. Cygnus is neutral, but more on the hateful side simply because Dorea is dating me. While he doesn't care that I'm a half blood(supposedly), he only cares that I'm rich, I can provide for his daughter, and I can bring something new to the Black Family. Or so he thinks.
I'll die, the second I offer bride price for Dorea's hand in marriage, and so will Cygnus, if he offers a Dowry. Dorea is really intent on not marrying with a dowry, and I'm intent on staying happily alive.
Violetta is actually happy Dorea found someone smart, and rich, and most importantly, Good looking. It's always nice being appreciated.
Pollux thinks I'm a mudblood still, even if I carry a Pureblood name. Same with Walburga and Irma. Alphard thinks I'm cool, at least, so there's that.
The rest of the dinner goes by pretty well, if you disregard Walburga's racist comments, and her mother encouraging her. Plus, other than Dorea, who glared at her, and Cassiopeia, who simply rolled her eyes, no one tried to correct her behaviour.
Well, at least Dorea's mother likes me. Even if it's only because I'm rich, and can provide for her daughter. Plus, I'm a healer who apprenticed under Euphemia Potter herself. She was sort of infamous in the Pureblood circle for not taking many apprentices under her. And so is her husband.
I'll have to take Dorea to them, some day. Unfortunately, I can't take Helena out to meet people yet. The older ones still remember the Grey Lady, and while they won't Immediately realize it's her, they'll feel the resemblance.
Getting an idea, as soon as I kiss Dorea goodbye, and apparate home, I go into my lab, and take one of the many rings I had gotten from the Vaults. This one, was made out of Gold.
Gold and Silver are amazing conductors for Magic I've noticed. Not the same as wood though. Wood can be used in Wands, Trunks, and many other things. Gold and Silver make the best Magical Accessories, but make very bad wands. Ollivander's book said so too.
Enlarging it, I slowly, and diligently, carve a few runes on the inside of the ring with my wand. Once done, I blow on it, because it's a habit, and chant a few Enchantments. Once done, I shrink the ring back down again, and enchant the ruby that's on the ring to absorb ambient magic to power the enchantments.
Smiling at my work, I go towards the Library, where Helena is sat, reading the books. Smiling at her, I go behind her, and slowly kiss her neck.
"Mas~on!" Helena moans, holding on to my hair with her left hand.
Slowly moving my hand down towards her magnificent breasts, I whisper, "I have something for you."
Getting up suddenly, Helena gently keeps the book on the table, and says, "Later. First you, and me, now."
And she jumps on me, to kiss me passionately, with her legs around me. Holding on to her butt, to support her, I move towards the bedroom.
~~~
A few rounds later, Helena calms her breath, and asks, "So what is the gift?"
Taking the ring from the bedside table, I say, "While you've given me your blessings to marry Dorea, I don't want you to ever feel I'm neglecting you. And, I know, you were getting cooped up in the Manor."
"Mason." Helena interrupts me, with a whisper. She says, "I am just happy to be with you."
I smile at her, and kiss her forehead. I say, "I know that, love. I know. But, I also know that it isn't good to spend your whole life in the manor. So, I made this ring for you."
Taking the ring from me, she looks it over. It was a beautiful ring, and made by one of my ancestors. She whispers out, "It's beautiful."
Smiling at her awed face, I say, "Well, that ring serves two purposes. First, is that people will know you're taken and you won't have to hurt any unfortunate souls."
Helena snorts, because I know that she will hurt the men that try and hit on her.
Kissing her forehead, I continue, "And yes, while it isn't an engagement ring, it serves its purpose. Second thing, is that it will make sure that no one looks ay your face too closely. If they do, they'll simply find you beautiful, as you are, but they won't recognize you as the Grey Lady."
"I can go out and roam now?" Helena asks, whispering in disbelief.
Smiling at her, I answer, "Yes. You can go out. I've even set up a vault for you, so you can buy anything you like."
"Oh, thank God. I actually was sick if staying ay home." Helena says, resting her head on my chest, and her hand on my privates.
Squeezing her butt, I say, "Now you can go out whenever you want. But, be careful not so show your magic when in the Muggle world. Muggles are.. dangerous. They will try and capture you to experiment on you. And, while I will definitely rescue you if by some miracle, they succeed, it'll be annoying to show our capabilities to muggles."
"Good save." Helena mumbles, as she goes to sleep.
I almost said she's a delicate thing that needs saving, not in those words, but that's how she would have taken it. And my balls are in her hands, literally. So I changed my to our capabilities.
Smiling in relief, I go to sleep. Today was a tiring day simply dealing with the Blacks. I'm just thankful that it wasn't Sirius Black that I met with.

A/N: I'm gonna do a small time skip to World War 2 next. But, just like all other time skipped chapters, I'll show a summary of what he did in those years.
