The next day, Orpheus woke up quickly to find a reply from Sirius. Remus still hadn't replied to the letter he wrote. Sirius had replied saying to meet outside Gringotts. Orpheus applied his glamour and ran outside to the empty streets of Diagon Alley. Sure enough outside of Gringotts was a huge shaggy dog. The dog jumped onto him and kicked his face. Orpheus giggled. Orpheus took him inside and the squeaky goblin from the day before took them back to Ragga's office. Ragga told Orpheus to sit outside the room and half an hour later, Sirius rushed out of the room. "I have a son! With Remus!" he shouted. Orpheus went quiet. "Yeah, about that.." Orpheus reached into his pocket and pulled out the test from the day before. He passed it to Sirius, who read it. Orpheus removed his glamour when Sirius looked back up. "Pup?" Sirius asked, studying his face. Sirius rushed forward. "Pup!" he yelled. Orpheus laughed and hugged his father. Sirius morphed back into his dog form. Orpheus took him to his hotel room and gave him some food once they got in there. He also found that Hedwig had delivered a letter.
Orpheus opened it to find a letter from his mother.
Dear Orpheus,
Is it really you? I can't believe you were under my nose the whole time. I missed you so much and so did my wolf. Does Sirius know? We need to get him a trial so we can be a proper family. Meet me at the The Leaky Cauldron at 12 o clock for some lunch,
Love your Mother.
Orpheus handed the letter to Sirius. He read it. "That reminds me, Ragga said they'd arranged for me to have a trial in two days, all I have to do is go to Gringotts tomorrow and they can take me and I'll be in their protection until I either get cleared or hopefully not go back to Azkaban." Orpheus laughed."Dad, that's great!"
Sirius then looked at the time. "Better go meet Remus." Sirius became Padfoot and the two went downstairs. Remus was sitting by himself on a table in the corner. Orpheus grinned and went over to the table. "Mum." he greeted Remus, who looked up. He grinned and hugged Orpheus. "Oh Phe I missed you." Remus looked down to find Padfoot looking up at Remus. Remus bent down and hugged the dog. "Hi Padfoot." he said aloud but only Orpheus heard him whisper in the dogs ear, "Hi love."
Orpheus sat down and a server came over. Orpheus ordered a Roast Dinner, Remus ordered two steaks - one for him and one for Sirius, or Padfoot as he was being called in his dog form. Remus and Orpheus discussed Orpheus being a Half-Wolf and Remus promised that he would teach Orpheus how to change into his wolf form. Remus also revealed he would be coming back as a Defense teacher. Orpheus was happy with this, as he'd be able to see one of his parents regularly.
Remus invited Orpheus to stay at his house until the summer but as they were about go to Orpheus' room to get his stuff a Gringotts owl came and Orpheus was summoned to Gringotts to see Ragga.
He walked into Gringotts and soon found himself in Ragga's office, along with Sirius and Remus. Ragga grinned. "Heir Lupin-Black, I called you here to claim your Lordships, as you were banned to by Dumbledore but now you can if you have permission from your parents."
Sirius grinned. "Or course he can! I guess it is the lordships from James and Lils." Ragga nodded. "Yes, the Lordships he has available is Potter, Evans, Gryffindor through James and both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff through Lily.
Remus gasped gobsmacked."That means he owns Hogwarts as Tom gave him heirship of Slytherin... Tom.." Sirius put a hand on his mate's shoulder. "We'll visit Cissa and Lucy after my trial."
Remus nodded. Ragga interrupted their conversation.
"Orpheus, what you have to do is put the rings on and if they accept you, you will feel a warm glow." Orpheus nodded and picked up the first of the rings - the Potter ring.
The Potter ring was a gold colour with the crest of a thunderbird on the back. Orpheus slid it on and a glow emitted from the ring. Orpheus took the Evans ring, which was a smaller ring with not much decoration on it and once again had the same result. The Gryffindor ring was a bright red with a gold lion on the back of it. The Ravenclaw ring was Blue with a bronze Eagle in the middle and the Hufflepuff ring was yellow with a black badger. Orpheus had the same result with all of these rings.
Ragga clapped. "Your Official title is now, Orpheus Lupin-Black, Lord of Potter, Evans, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff Heir of Black, Lupin, Slytherin, Riddle, Gaunt, Snape and Prince"
Orpheus laughed. "That is a mouthful!" he exclaimed. Ragga smiled. "You can shorten it to Orpheus Lupin-Black, Lord of Hogwarts, Potter and Evans and Heir of Riddle, Gaunt, Snape and Prince."
Orpheus nodded. Ragga continued. "This also means you are emancipated, which means you are an adult in the eye of the ministry so you can now do magic outside of Hogwarts, Apparation and drink Firewhiskey." Orpheus grinned and turned to his Parents, who were rolling their eyes. Orpheus turned to Sirius with puppy eyes and Sirius sighed." Yes, we will buy you a Fire whiskey."
Ragga waves his hands and Orpheus watched as the rings disappeared. Ragga turned to look at the three shocked faces. "I dissilusioned them. When you need to summon one, press your finger and think of the ring you want." Orpheus nodded.
Remus took Orpheus' hand. "Come on, let's go home."

Orpheus woke up slowly to find himself in a room he didn't recognise. He sat up quickly and looked around. Orpheus sighed, realising he was only in Sirius' house, his house. Orpheus got out of bed and pulled on one of Dudley's shirts as he still hadn't had the time to buy some new clothing. He went out of his room and downstairs to see Remus sipping a cup of what looked like hot chocolate. Orpheus looked around. "Where is Dad?" he asked. Remus smiled weakly. "Ragga came to take him to the ministry already." Orpheus nodded. Remus sat up. "I wanted to discuss something with you anyways, well multiple things." Orpheus raised a brow but sat down next to Remus. "What is it Mum?" Remus sighed. "A memory came back of when you were just born. I did a mate test on you and I actually know who your mate is." Orpheus sat up. "Who is it?" Remus sighed. "Your mate is Draco. I already contacted the Malfoys and we are going to meet them after the trial. They already know who you were previously."
Orpheus nodded. He could make a relationship with Draco work. Orpheus' cheeks heated up, remembering what his hair was like in third year - he hoped Draco would have the same hairstyle. Remus took another sip of his drink. "Another thing, I think tomorrow you should claim your seats apart from Potter and Evans because you don't want people to know you were Harry." Orpheus frowned. "But would Dumbledore know I was Harry because he was the one who took me?" Remus laughed. "Ah, this is where good old Tom Riddle comes in. When he went to get you back, he cast a couple of spells on Dumbles. One was to forget about you unless you told him you were Harry and then all of the memories come back." Orpheus nodded. "I'll write to Madame Bones to nullify the Potter and Evans seats because I bet Dumbledore is using them." Remus stood up and put his hand to Orpheus' shoulder. "Great Idea, I'll leave you to that."
Orpheus went back to his room and sat at his desk. he pulled out a piece of muggle lined paper and a muggle pen. He started writing,
Dear Madame Bones,
I am writing to you as Lord Potter and Evans as I recently took my Lordships. I heard that Dumbledore was using my seats to vote with and I would like to ask you to nullify them until I feel comfortable enough to take them - probably in my later years at Hogwarts. I also recently discovered that Dumbledore was my magical Guardian and I fear he has been abusing that as not once before I went to Hogwarts had I met him and I didn't know about magic - about my parents legacy - until it was one month before Hogwarts. I hope you will take my words seriously, as although I am young, I know what I am talking about. If you do nullify the seats, please could you not tell Dumbledore I was the one who asked.
Thank you,
Harry Potter, Lord of Potter and Evans.
Orpheus then got another sheet of paper and started a letter to Draco.
Dear Draco,
You are probably wondering who is writing this to you and I don't know if you have been told yet, but I am Orpheus Lupin-Black, your mate. You might have not been told this either, but I was once Harry Potter. Dumbledore took me from my true parents and placed me with the Potters, who were my godparents. They only made the connections between Harry and their godchild the night of their murder, where Tom Riddle came to collect me and Dumbledore went to stop him and the Potters from giving me back. I hope you can forgive me for the way I treated you - it turns out that I had hate charms keyed to you and your family. I'm sure if I didn't have them, we would have been great friends. I can't wait to meet you tomorrow,
Your Mate,
Orpheus Lupin-Black.
Orpheus called over Hedwig, whose feathers had been dyed brown. Orpheus gave Hedwig the letters. She nuzzled his neck before flying off. Orpheus sat back satisfied. He wished that the trial could come soon.
