บท 30: C29 Going Home
Author's Note: I am trying to fasten the pace till his 4th year (Beauxbatons, not Hogwarts) when the story kind of becomes more interesting. He will start learning practical magic more at that time so I want to reach that point quickly. However, I don't want to degrade the writing quality. Please tell me what you think of the quickening of chapters.

Christmas Vacation
The Beauxbatons students left for home through the same way they had come when they first came to Beauxbatons. They first went to the mass portkeying building at the campus and then waited. Since this was at school it was coordinated better than when the students had to come to school. They were all in the room at 9:00 AM.
Charlus looked around him at the older students. All of them were very tall, and he had to look up to see them. He found one senior very interesting. He had white hair, which was spiked upwards. No seniors were around this person, as if they were afraid of him. His red eyes shone, while he gazed forward, ignorant at all the fear directed towards him.
He suddenly turned towards Charlus. He smiled. Charlus didn't know what to do, so he smiled back. Seeing the smile, the man started towards Charlus. While he made his way towards Charlus, everyone moved away to give way.
He finally reached Charlus. He bent down to reach Charlus' height. He held out his hand and said, "Albus Grindelwald. Nice to meet you."
Charlus shook his hand and said, "Charlus Potter."
Albus laughed and said, "It's funny, your grandfather or great-grandfather fought against my grandfather. My grandfather wrote in his diary about how great a dueler Charlus Potter was. You must be honored to be named after him."
"Fought? Did they get angry at each other?"
Charlus was only an 8-year-old and didn't know about blood feuds and war. Albus continued laughing and said, "You will understand in due time. In due time."
Albus walked away, and everyone looked at Charlus Potter, the person who made Albus Grindelwald interested. The time approached 9:15 and everyone got ready to portkey to their parents. Charlus got ready, and before he knew it, he was in the portkey hall in the Ministry of Magic. He immediately sarted looking around for Sirius. He had written to Sirius, and Sirius wrote back saying that he would pick Charlus up with Harry.
It took him a few minutes to find Sirius in all the chaos. He immediately rushed towards them, squeezing through everyone who were in the way. He would have preferred to push away everyone, but with his body size, it would be a dream to push people several years older than him.
He finally reached Harry and Sirius. When he reached them, he immediately hugged Harry and said, "I miss you so much Harry. You won't believe what happened at Beauxbatons. I made so many friends."
"Ahem!" Sirius drew attention to himself. "What about me? Are you forgetting about your godfather?"
Charlus just stuck out his tongue and continued talking to Harry. Sirius felt a little dejected, but then Charlus turned to him and hugged him. "I missed you too."
Just then, Charlus saw a familiar figure.
"Henri! Over here!" Charlus called out to Henri, who was meeting with his family. Henri saw Charlus and dragged his parents to meet them.
Charlus immediately introduced Henri to his family. "Padfoot, Harry, this is Henri. He is my room mate."
Henri shook Sirius' hand and said, "Pleasure to meet you sir. I am Henri Williams, heir to the House of Williams."
Normally, Henri wouldn't be so formal, especially when Charlus was around. But at that time, Henri was with his parents in public. He would be easily recognized because of his parents, and he was brought up to act according to the situation.
"Well met Heir Williams. I am Lord Black. You may address me as Sirius."
Sirius also matched the amount of formality the boy had presented himself with. It would be rude not to. While Sirius despised his parents and cousins, he was still brought up with Wizarding values by his grandfather.
Henri's parents, meanwhile, were shocked. While Henri had no clue about the Blacks, the Williams knew about the notoriety and the power of the Blacks. While the Blacks were based off Britain, their influence was still visible in the multiple shops they had in Place Cachée. They were easily the wealthiest family in the entire of Europe.
The Williams immediately introduced themselves.
"Lord Williams, and Lady Williams. You may address as Roger and Cecilia. It's a pleasure to meet you Lord Black."
Sirius simply nodded his head at the couple and then turned to Henri.
"So tell me Henri, did Charlus do anything embarrassing? Did you do any pranks?"
"Pranks sir?
"Oh boy! You didn't prank anyone? Charlus, I'm ashamed of you! How about this?" Sirius turned to Henri's parents. "Christmas vacation is till 10th January. I completely understand that Henri should spend Christmas and Yule with his parents, but after that, I wish for Henri to join our family for a week. We will take responsibility of bringing Henri here to go back to Beauxbatons."
The Williams thought for a while. The Blacks were a respectable family, and they surely wouldn't go against their word. Moreover, Sirius didn't fit the common Black stereotype of being mad, so they felt a little okay with letting their child be with Sirius.
"Please father and mother. I will definitely be okay. Please." Henri's pleading sealed the deal.
Charlus turned to Harry and said, "Hear that Harry? Henri will play with us for a while. Aren't you excited?"
Harry screamed, "Yes!"
The Williams calmed the excitement in their boy and took him with them as they left the Portkey hall. Sirius turned to the two and said, "If you are quiet, we can have Ice Cream."
"Can we have it outside?"
Charlus asked innocently.
Sirius looked at Charlus and Harry and said, "You know what. Let's do it. Harry, Charlus, we are going to Diagon Alley.
