(Five Chapters every Three Days!)

October 8, 1993
The Dementors took off, the body they left behind transformed back from into his original appearance with high cheekbones and a handsome face. The one thing people could say about him was that he was the most handsome boy they had ever seen, though at the moment his once bright eyes were now dull and there was nothing inside them.
The body of the boy was in the forbidden forest hidden from everyone else, only one person knew he was there, but at the moment he was watching through the wards as the body lay still. This was his plan after all, he wanted the boy dead, he didn't need him to keep living an potentially giving his father and mother support when the time came.
Switching back to the boy he lay soulless as he was covered by the night, the expression on his face blank as the light of the moon broke the clouds to shine on him. What no one could see was the bright ball off light that was inside the moon light heading straight for the boy, the next thing to happen was his eyes taking back their brightness.
The light purple color of his eyes shinning in confusion as he just sat there, his mind seemed to adjust as the memories of his predecessor took him on a long journey. When that journey ended though he sat there not knowing what to think, so lost in thought it wasn't until he looked up that he saw the screen in front of him, "Do I have a system?" he asked his silky voice echoing in the quiet forest.
"System? Hello? Are you there?" It only took him a moment to realize that the system wasn't what he thought, it couldn't speak to him and only was showing what he wanted to see. There also was no inventory on it.
[Name: Tanner Crixus Black
Age: 16
Special Magic: Metamorphmagus
Heir Status: Black House
Transfiguration- Intermediate
Potions- Master
Charms: Intermediate
DADA- Master
Herbology- Experienced
Ancient Runes-Intermediate
Arithmancy- Intermediate
Special Skills: Occlumency Master, Parseltongue Master]
This was all that was shown on the system, though it didn't talk it did give him the difference in the levels; Rookie, Amateur, Experienced, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Expert.
He wasn't surprised by how good he was, seeing as he was a fifth year and also he was raised by Arcturus Black III, who was his Great-Grandfather, the man took him in after his mother went to Azkaban. That was the biggest shock so far though, his mother was none other then Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black, more surprising was how gentle she was.
That was right he wasn't kidding she was gentle, he only knew that because thanks to Arcturus he got to see her twice a year, once on his birthday which was September 14th and again on hers which was June 10th. Thanks to him talking to Amelia Bones he was set to meet her then, she had to take an oath to get it done but he was able to meet her.
His father though was something he didn't how how to feel about, it was none other then Tom Marvolo Riddle aka Lord Voldemort, which is something he honestly couldn't decided how to feel about. Though seeing who his mother was and when he was born he could tell that it was during his reign of terror, which is why his mother sent him to stay with Arcturus.
Sighing he leaned against the tree he just died against, he could still see the Dementors in his mind as they were sucking out his soul, something no one should experience. The worst thing is that he was lured here, he was put under The Imperius Curse to be drawn here, he just didn't know who did it, he has never heard the voice before.
Honestly he still remembered his past life, he was an aspiring singer who lost his life during a party, someone didn't like him stealing the spot light so he was pushed off the building. He let that be the past though, there was no reason to sit there and think about that when he had a new life.
From the memories he got he was in the middle of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Sirius was already on the loose looking for Peter, he was happy though he wouldn't need to deal with that. Harry's life had nothing to do with him, sure he was technically going to be Lord of house Black after this year but that didn't mean it bothered him.
His Grandfather who wasn't really his grandfather Arcturus made him heir before he passed, he also stripped Sirius of being Lord Black since he was someone who was worthy to take the place. Also because of his parentage he was a pure-blood, with Tom's Half-Blood status and his mom being a Pure-Blood he was therefore a Pure-Blood.
Not that he cared, it was just a status in Wizarding Britain it didn't matter anywhere else.
"Well what am I going to do now?" Tanner thought while looking around, his wand was snapped something he was made to do when he was lured out here. Now being in a school for Wizards with no wand he would need to get a new one before the next class, thankfully it was Saturday and he could get one Tomorrow.
Getting to his feet and brushing off the dirt he started walking back towards the castle, while thinking about his future plans. He didn't want ultimate power or anything, he was already strong enough that he could take on most adult wizards, from his perspective only his father and Dumbledore were at Expert Level.
All he needed to do was train enough to make it to at least Master and then he wouldn't need to worry about anything anymore.
As he walked towards the castle his features changed, he went back to snow white hair instead of his black, while his eyes went from the light purple to icy blue. His facial features were just slightly different compared to what they really were but it was enough that no one could tell.
He only did this because this was the cover that was taught to him, being an Metamorphmagus helped with this, something Arcturus was proud that he was. Though he wasn't the first seeing as Nymphadora Tonks was the first in a long time, but since she was a half-blood thanks to her mother she wasn't in the Black family, something Arcturus made him promise to change when he was Lord.
The man was too proud to do it himself when he was still alive.
While lost in thought Tanner made it back to the castle he went straight to the Charms classroom to talk to his head of house, knocking on the door he waited as he heard someone moving on the other side. When the door opened the Half-Goblin was standing there with a cheery smile even if it was late in the night, "Mr. Tanner, what can I do for you at such a late hour." he asked.
Tanner sighed before telling him a half lie, "Professor Flitwick, I had an accident earlier tonight where it caused my wand to be snapped," He explained while holding it out, "I was wondering if you could take me to Diagon Alley to get a new one tomorrow."
The man frowned but smiled slightly, "I am sorry but there is a teacher meeting tomorrow, though I can get a house elf to take you if that is okay?"
Tanner nodded, "That is perfect Professor, can we do it after breakfast?"
"Splendid, I will have one meet you in front of the Castle after breakfast, make sure you are back before noon though, you can't spend to much time there." He said with a cheery smile again.
"Thank you Professor, have a good night." Tanner said nodding.
"You too Mr. Tanner." Flitwick said with a smile as the door closed.
Walking away he started heading back to the dormitory, he caught it the second time this time when he was called Mr. Tanner, every teacher was doing it this year. So that there was no confusion between him and Sirius, who was still believed to be at the school hunting Harry Potter, which wasn't true since he was only after the traitorous rat.
As Tanner got closer to the Ravenclaw Tower he heard some soft whimpers, coming in front of it he saw a blonde head of hair sitting in front of the door, it was a little girl. Her legs were tucked in as she put her head into her legs, her feet were bare and against the cold stone floor as she sat there crying into her legs.
"Are you okay?" He asked standing in front of her looking down at her.
The crying stopped as she looked up at him, she had red puffy eyes as she looked him over, "Tanner? I am fine, but why are you out so late? Did the Nargles keep you out too?"
He looked her over knowing exactly who this was, Luna Lovegood, the bullied girl of Ravenclaw, which no one did anything about since she was so weird. Though from some fan fiction he read about her and theories she was like this thanks to her mothers death or it was just her real personality, either way he didn't care.
Seeing as they both didn't have friends then it looked like they both were going to gain one, "No I wasn't locked out by Nargles, though let me help you out."
"Help me?" Luna said her eyes having a bit of clarity in them.
"Yeah." He said while walking towards the door, which didn't say anything as he got closer, which let him know that someone put a charm on it to not let people in. All he did was frown before sighing, well they weren't getting inside there tonight, but he did know another place for them to stay.
"The Nargles did something to it, it hasn't asked me one Riddle since earlier when I woke up out here." Luna said moving to stand next to him.
"Well it is a good thing that I know another place for us to sleep then." He said smiling down at her, "Milady." He said while reaching for her hand.
She smiled with cloudy eyes while taking his hand, "Your smile is very beautiful, you should do it more often," She tilted her head, "In fact this is the most anyone has ever heard you speak outside of class, what changed?"
He just smiled down at her, "Guess I was just waiting to talk to the prettiest girl in school."
She giggled blushing a little, "You could have talked to me anytime."
He nodded, "Good to know. Now come along Luna, I am getting sleepy."
She said nothing as he led her from the fifth floor to the seventh, after finding the picture of the dancing trolls he stopped in front of the blank wall. Letting her hand go he walked in front of it three times while thinking about a room for them to sleep in for the night, he heard her gasp as the door appeared in front of them.
Taking her hand again he led her into the room while on the outside it disappeared as they walked inside, the room was just a basic Ravenclaw room with a bigger bed then in their dorms. He frowned, he specifically asked for two beds, it seemed that the room was only going to give them one though as he kept asking for another.
"What is this place?" Luna asked as she walked over to the bed crawling inside not minding that there was only one.
"It is called the Room of Requirements, it is a hidden place that helps those when they need it. All you have to do is walk in front of it three times to enter while thinking about what you need, it has everything but food, that can be brought in by the Hogwarts elf's though." He explained while looking around, he was a little mad.
He kept asking for a couch at least but the room refused to change, it was like he had no control over it anymore, it seemed that it was stuck like this until they left.
"Oh such a helpful place free of Nargles and Wrackspurts. I think I will come here again if the Nargles decide that they want to keep me outside the common room." She said with a big smile.
He frowned though, he wouldn't do anything about that until tomorrow though, he didn't want her to know about it though so it might be later, "Umm Luna? Have you not noticed that there is only one bed?" He asked seeing that she was so comfortable, so comfortable in fact that she slipped out of her night gown leaving her only in her white panties, not even a bra.
This would have been a more stimulating thing for him if not for the fact that she was only 12, which was the reason he turned his back on her at the moment.
"Yes I know. It is fine though we can just share the bed." She said her voice taking on a wistfulness to it as she explained it like nothing was unusual.
"Then can you get dressed Luna, I don't think it is appropriate for you to be naked in front of me." He said while still not looking at her, though the room seemed to work at that moment as it put a mirror in front of him letting him see behind him. He wanted to curse at it for that.
"It is okay. Daddy said that I can only show my body to the man I marry, and you are going to be that man so it is fine." She said with a smile while snuggling in deeper into the covers.
Though what she just said had him stunned, "And how do you know I am going to be the person you marry?" He asked while closing his eyes.
"Because you saw my body, so you are going to be my husband." She said it as if it was the most reasonable thing on earth making him choke for a moment, "I thought you were sleepy?" She asked while tilting her head at him.
Sighing he turned to look at her even knowing she didn't change anything, he watched her a moment before letting his disguise drop, he never slept with it on, perks of having their own rooms in Ravenclaw. Even if the rooms were smaller then any other in Hogwarts.
Her eyes went wide seeing him go back to his original appearance with his brown hair replacing his white while his eyes went back to their light purple matching his mothers. "Seeing as I am your future 'Husband' then you might as well see my real appearance." He said while taking his shirt off and walking towards the bed.
"You still look really beautiful, you should show your real self to more people." She said while staring at him hard.
He just smiled while getting into the bed once he was in she crawled over before practically putting her whole body across him, he sighed as her arms wrapped around his body. Even before he could say anything she was fast asleep, she was a big snuggle bug as she held him tight tucking her head into the crook of his neck.

October 9th, 1993
Tanner woke the next morning to someone biting him, he frowned before opening his eyes and seeing that it was Luna, she was still asleep but was nibbling on his shoulder. Laughing a little he shook her, it didn't take long before she was awake looking at him with her cloudy blue eyes from sleep, and it was just her natural look.
"Good morning Luna." He said with a smile unconsciously reaching and running a hand through her hair, which she leaned into like a cat.
"Good morning Tanner, I am glad to know that last night was not a dream. I would hate for it all to have been a dream, I didn't want to wake up cold in the halls again. You are much warmer." She said with a smile while also snuggling into him more holding him tighter.
That made him frown, he really didn't like hearing that since he didn't like the way people were treating her, he also didn't like how the other Tanner didn't help. Though to be fair the guy didn't pay attention to anything but restoring House Black, while avoiding everyone else, it was nice that he wasn't trying to be with another Pure-Blood though.
"Don't worry Luna, if you ever get lonely just find me. From now on I will always be with you, that is what a 'husband' does after all." He said looking down at her with a smile while kissing her forehead.
Her smile grew though as she heard him, "Well that is good to know, does it mean that we can sleep together forever now?"
"Well seeing as I only have these last two and a half years left at Hogwarts lets just go with that. We will figure out the rest later." He said while stroking her hair again.
"Daddy always said that husband and wives live together, so even during the summer I can live with you." Luna said as though she thought everything out.
He chuckled, "You forgot though Luna, we aren't married yet."
She pouted but nodded her head, "That is true, and unless Daddy approves then we can't be married yet. Well I will owl him later." She said with a bright smile thinking she had just thought everything out.
He only shook his head at her, it seemed that nothing he said was going to talk her out of it, she already had it in her head that the two of them would be married no matter what. All he could do is let her think that they would be married, he knew that her father wouldn't allow it since she was so young.
Though he frowned thinking how backwards Wizards were, he was actually starting to get worried thinking about it, he might actually do something like letting the two of them marry. He could only hope that the man had enough sense to not marry off his twelve year old daughter, one problem at a time though.
Since it was morning they needed to head down to breakfast, he also needed to go get a new wand later, "Well Luna we should get dressed then head to Ravenclaw tower so we can change then head down for breakfast, I am leaving this morning to get a new wand."
"What happen to you last one? Did the Nargles get to it?" She asked not listening and rubbing herself against him some more.
He laughed a little, "Yeah I think they did. I will need to go to Diagon Alley later, but how about we meet up later so that I can teach you a little."
She beamed kissing his cheek, "That sounds wonderful!!"
He nodded, "Well if we are going to do that then we need to head down to breakfast, I do need to eat before getting a new wand."
"Okay, do you think there will be pudding this morning?" She asked climbing off of him and putting back on her night gown, a brush appeared as soon as she was dressed and she picked it up handing it to him.
Smiling he accepted it and started to brush her hair.
