Everyone ended up staying in the attic. They kept asking her for more details. They only knew the big events but not much of the details. Oh, how shocked they were, some mad.

"Yeah I never like your portrait, it shook the whole house. I would definitely use it as an alarm to wake me up every morning tho" said Alena and then proceeded to imitate her. Then the same with Sirius telling the portrait off. Making everyone laugh. They also found out about the tattoos and piercings. They all thought it was pretty cool. Regulus, on the other hand, thought it made her look even better than she already did.

"Cissa and Andy should be here tomorrow around lunch at Grimmauld Place. We really need to get everything ready, we haven't been back there in a while." Said Walburga and Orion nodding along.

"It time to get the Black's back to how we were before all the potions and Voldemort"

"That's not even his name," said Alena making everyone look at her. "Do you remember the memories from my second year, in the chamber of secrets?"

"Oh yeah," they all said.

"He is a half-blood, funny how all the purebloods just follow after him. I thought pure-blood 'knew' better than to follow others and carelessly believe in something. No offence"

"None taken," said all the pure-bloods.

"I mean shouldn't people have done at least did some research on the guy. He is hiding behind a false name. And making all of his followers do his dirty work. His name is Tom Maravlo Riddle."

"Yeah we remember him from when we went to Hogwarts, he looked much better before. More human. He had better plans at the start when he started learning about pure-blood customs. But I believe it was after he turned 16 that something changed." Said, Orion.

"That was when he first created his first-ever Horcrux. His diary had the most amount of his soul in the book, which was why he showed up in that memory form. After he made that, he was slowly turning insane. Meaning some of his emotions went with it, and also age. So the one with the body right now doesn't have much of his soul in him, a very small amount. The main emotion being anger, which is what is making him want to kill anything that doesn't agree with him. His mind is only set on one thing, that his original plan is not even there anymore. He is also cursed, since he killed and drank unicorn blood, back in my first year. Modified both me and Draco. I don't even know what his real plans were or are in changing the wizarding world. All I knew was that he didn't like muggles and Muggle-Borns. That he wanted to not let them into this world. And well...kill me."

"Wow you have really done your research" said Monty.

"Mhm, the funny thing is, he attacks pure-bloods as well. So many families have either died out because of him from the first war. At this point, he doesn't care if you are muggle-born or pure blood. He will attack anyone."

"If he does end up taking over the world. It won't be pretty. Plus the population will decrease. There would be no more witches or wizards in England for long." Said Walburga.

"The problem is the lack of information given to people. If they knew from the start or even better from when they enter Hogwarts they should be told everything about wizard customs." said Alena

"Like a class, muggle studies, not that it teaches you anything from the past two centuries. That class definitely needs an upgrade" said Lily.

"PERIDOT" Alena interrupted her.

"Like first years should have a class for wizard studies, so muggle-borns and half-bloods will not be clueless about the world and not be seen as an outsider or unworthy. Magic is Magic. We all have it. Does blood really matter? When magic is what's more important." Said lily.

"You have a point mom. Many half-bloods are much stronger and more powerful than pure-bloods. To be honest I always thought that pure-bloods marring other pure-bloods only make them weaker."

"What do you mean" asked Walburga.

"This is going to take a while. But back in the fifth year, I had done a lot of thinking. About everything. Myself, the people around me, and the wizarding world. That's when I knew something was wrong. But keeping it to myself instead of making conspiracy theories. But now that I know the truth I know my theories were right...maybe. Anyways I would think about the overall wizard world. The problem between pure-blood and muggle-borns is because they don't know the traditional methods of wizard customs." She paused.

"Sorry I need to get up and pace again, it's what I do when I go in rants" making everyone chuckle.

"Sounds familiar" said Orion glancing at Regulus.

"Yeah and this would be her second one today," said Sirius. Alena smiled.

"As I was saying, pure-bloods believe that Muggle-borns have dirty blood when really all of our blood is just red. It's called biology" making everyone laugh. "I for one, don't think muggle-borns should even be called that as they are not even a thing" making everyone confused.

"What do you mean Muggle-Borns isn't a thing," asked Lily.

"I'm saying they shouldn't be called that but instead be called "muggle-raised."

"Okay, but why. That wouldn't make sense, not entirely," said James

"This is my theory"

"Ou, I always love your theories," Said Sirius with an excited smile. Making Alena smile.

"Think about it, is it really possible for two ordinary MUGGLES with no magic blood to give birth to a fully magical child?"

Now everyone was thinking.

"Yeah it doesn't make sense," said Regulus. "None of the muggle parents carry magical blood, how and where would the magic come from"

"Exactly which leads to my next theory, pure-bloods. They will do anything to keep the line 'pure'. Sorry to call you out but they would go to the extent of marrying in the family as close as second cousins." Making Orion and Walburga look awkward made their kids laugh a bit. "But only really pure-bloods marrying other pure-bloods would really weaken their heirs, and their magic won't be as strong, making them an average wizard. Which could be lead to pure-blood couples creating squibs."

Making everyone think again.

"This could be true. Because if people keep marrying into the family whether it be second cousins or a distant relative. It will affect when giving birth since all pure-bloods are related in some way or another. It's the same in the muggle world. It can harm a child." She continued. "So what happens when a pure-blood family has a squib, they usually get kicked out or disowned and thrown into the muggle world. Of course, no pure-blood family would want a child without magic. They are seen beneath muggle-borns. Plus squibs would not want to stay in a place where they are seen as good as a normal muggle. They have no place in the wizarding world. Other than manual labour. So they leave the to the muggle world. They go live their life as a common muggle and are forgotten by wizards."

"What do squibs have to do with muggle-borns" asked Lily.

"Wait, I think I know what you saying now," said Regulus "you are a genius," said with a smile.

"Thank you, I am the descendant of Ravenclaw" making everyone either snort or shake their heads fondly.

"Anyways hopefully we are actually on the same page. Because to answer your question mom. When squibs are sent to the muggle world to live their lives, they would end up getting married and having their own kids. But just because they are in the muggle world getting married to a common muggle doesn't mean that the magic blood that runs through them disappears."

"It's gets passed down to their kids" finished off Lily with a nod.

"Right. But you would never know when the magic would start back up. Because once they are kicked out of the wizarding world it's unlikely for squibs to pass on the wizard stories and traditions to their next generation, as they won't have any witches or wizards. Again that leads back to my point about the lack of information given to the public. Also even if they did pass it on, it would believe to be a myth within the family. That's usually- and I'm guessing is because a child with magic won't happen until I don't know 5 generations later, or ten. They would have no idea of the wizarding world and go on as their normal muggle life. So when the magic finally does appear somewhere through the generation"

"They are named a Muggle-Born," said Regulus.

"Correct, I always thought you were the smarter brother"

"You thought correctly," he said with a smile.

"HEY," said Sirius. Alena stuck her tongue out at him. Causing him to do it back.

"Real mature," said Remus.

"So really, Muggle-Born are just descendants of pure-blood squibs." Said Lily.

"Yeah, you're an example of that mom. You're a descendant of the Ravenclaw line. I'm guessing that a squib was born in the line making the line 'die out'. That's what I believe happened to the many family lines. Probably half of them married into another family or those so-called died out families really just produce squibs."

"It could be true, now all the muggle-borns just need to go to Gringotts and take a test to see where their magic came from." Said, James.

"So all the purebloods calling muggle-borns the m-word really shouldn't be, because they could be their long-lost cousins for all they know. That's what I meant by saying about how muggle-borns aren't a thing. If anything they should be called muggle-raised as they were raised like a muggle." said Alena.

"Wow that's a lot," said Monty. Everyone nodded.

Alena snorted, "that's not the only thing. I have one more." Making everyone look at her, interested in her thought process.

"Going back to purebloods marrying purebloods. Is the wizarding world's great mistake. I really want to know what idiot thought that marrying only purebloods makes your line pure cause that's just stupid. It actually does quite the opposite. Remember how I told you guys about how pure-bloods are less powerful magic wise compared to half-blood" they all nodded. "That's because they all have old blood, not pure just old blood being reused in different bodies. Since purr-bloods marry each other, and in some cases two descendant of the same family can marry back into the family. What I mean by that, is that purebloods come from a long long time ago. Where some families had specials abilities for example the Ravenclaw line had parcel-mouth. When mom and dad made me I got that ability because dad gave me pureblood - old blood and mom gave me her new blood. Or the Malfoy's with Veela blood, or some people have seer blood, mage sight, creature blood. Like that. But because pure-blood don't have a mix of new blood the ability stops showing up in the line because the wizards or witch aren't as powerful as they should be. Dora, you're an example, a great example for the Blacks actually."

That made everyone confused as well as curious.

"Every Black has married into a pure-blood family. But Andy didn't. Since she didn't marry a pure blood and married new blood, the special ability was presented to Dora. Hence she is a Metamorphmagus. I remember Sirius telling me there hasn't been one in the Blackline for about 3 decades. Why, because the Black went a bit crazy on keeping the line pure that they were actually hurting the line. Again no offence"

"None taken," said the Blacks.

"So you see what I mean. The minute new blood is mixed in with old blood, half-bloods become more powerful and gain long-lost abilities that were not given to pure-bloods. Making people like me, Riddle, Dumbledork, Dora and other half-bloods stronger in their magic compared to pure-bloods that claim to be better than the rest of the world. Again, No offence" she said and sat back down.

"None taken"

"Wow. You really did think about this" said Orion.

"Yeah, it's what I do during History of magic." said Alena.

"No wonder why I had to teach you the whole book, you were busy making conspiracy theories," said Remus while shaking his head. Making everyone laugh.

"Yeah had a whole parchment filled all my thoughts. Technically I was making notes" she said with a smile and shrug.

"You should be unspeakable," said Orion.

"Really? I never really thought about that. I kind of just told people I wanted to become an Auror like dad and Sirius. Maybe I should look into it more. I never really thought about my future. To busy trying to make sure I have one." said Alena.

"You wanted to be an Auror like me?" Asked James.

"I don't know, it was my first choice within my top- WAIT" making everyone look at her startled. "Sorry but, I just thought of something" getting up again and pacing.

"Here we go again," said Walburga.

"Sirius and dad were Auror's right"

"Right," said Regulus.

"Meaning Sirius had gone after Peter, to arrest him"

"Holy shit, Sirius was an Auror meaning," said Regulus understanding what she was saying.

"They not only didn't give a trail to a Lord of an ancient and noble house-" said Alena.

"But also a qualified Auror," said Lily.

"Without trail," said Dora shaking her head. "It's the first basic rule of law with arresting someone."

"Even muggles follow that rule, and they don't even have the truth serum to make it easier. All they had to do was give him the three dam drops" Said Lily.

"I really want to walk into the ministry and ask them to look for your file," said Alena.

"They won't find anything," said Mia.

"Because there no dam file," said Alena getting pissed. "How did you survive in that hell hole and stay sane...well mostly?"

"Because I knew I was innocent, and because of you. I knew you were out there. That's why I was there the day you ran away. I wanted to see you" said Sirius.

"You know you could have saved me the trouble and just told me the first time you saw me"

"Please I was what made your year interesting"

"True dat. Yet that was the only year that I would call somewhat normal."

"That's a lie"

"Ye it is. But it's wasn't as bad"

"You really have gone through a lot haven't you" said Mia.

"I don't find trouble-" she said.

"Trouble finds me" finished off Sirius, Remus and Dora. The rest looked at the three.

"Self-made Moto" Alena said with a smile.

"You know I really want to test out your theory on muggle-borns or raised on being descendants of pure blood squibs" said Lily.

"It should be another project we should all do while your at school" said James. Everyone nodding in agreement.

"Don't worry, I'll make some more during history of magic this year as well" making Remus glare at her "sometimes" she added. Making everyone laugh.

"I don't not want to deal with History again" groaned Remus.

"Oh come on Professor. You love teaching"

"Stop calling me that. I'm not one anymore"

"But you always wanted to be" said James.

"It was only one for a year, the DADA job is 'cursed' remember" said Remus.

"cursed?" They all asked.

"The job for DADA is apparently cursed since the teacher only lasts a year and than is gone. First year, the teacher died but everyone believes he retired, second year we had a fraud as a teacher and then oblivated himself, third year Lupin actually was the best we've had. Everyone liked him but than of course Snape told everyone that he was a werewolf and Remus being the dumb kind-hearted self he is, quit."

"Parents wouldn't like a werewolf as a teacher. Plus the student either." said Remus.

"But you never heard what happened after that. Yes they all knew you were a werewolf but after talking about it, they realized they didn't care and they all liked you as a teacher. We all actually learned for the first time in that class"

"Oh really?" he asked in surprised. Alena nodded.

"Than there was Moody"

"You mean Barty Jr" said Orion.

"Yup, a guy that was supposedly in prison and died there was teaching the unforgivables and actually did them in front of the class on a spider. His mother was sick and they both switched places under poly-juice, his dad was who took him out. Very mortifing, when he calls out how only one has survived the killing curve. Like thanks for putting me on the spot Barty" making them snort.

"Oh my Merlin how could I forget about the pink toad. Umbridge. Horrid women. I wonder what would happen if I put petunia and her together" shuddering that the thought.

"That's worse than Voldemort taking over, the colour pink and cats everywhere" Said Remus.

"Don't get me started with her voice" making everyone laugh. They all remember her from the memories.

"Bad news, I think she is coming back this year. Not to teach but for apparently 'put the school on straight', her words not mine, and would be walking around the halls like some security guard. Though she doesn't have as much power as last year" Said Tonks.

Alena groaned.

"My hand scar still didn't heal properly you know" looking at her hand. Sirius took her hand a looked at it.

"I must no tell lies" he read.

"She wasn't, and now it came coming back in her ass" said Remus.

"Can't wait to see her face so I could torment her"

Sirius snorted, "I can already see you lashing at her with ur sassy remakes"

"You know me so well" poking him on the cheek. Alena's head was back on Sirius's lap. They all smiles at the two.

"Maybe you should invite your friends, and have a get to together before school starts. It's what we did when we were at Hogwarts." Said Lily.

"Not a bad idea. I'll write to them tomorrow. You know I am actually going miss you guys, even you Walburga" she said we a playful smile.

"Jeez Thanks" said Walburga making everyone laugh.

"What are all those boxes" Asked James.

"Oh yeah I totally forgot about those. Those are apparently all the things that were not destroyed that night. So I'm guessing some of your things in the house that still work or have value in them. Maybe some clothes as well" answer Alena.

"Oh really, we should go through them" said Lily.

"Job for another day. I'm way to comfortable to get up again. I'm done with rants for today" making them all chuckle.

"I like what you have done with the attic, very calm" said Mia.

"It has the best view, it's dark out, so"
She waved her wands and the roof opened.
It was a window. Showing the night sky with all the stars. "Last minute changes"

Everyone laid down and looked up. Alena in between the Black brothers. Regulus on the left and Sirius on the right. Remus and Dora together and the three married couples. They all looked up at the stars and they were all in a comfortable silence.

"It's beautiful" said Monty.

"Yeah it is" said Regulus, but he was not looking at the stars. Orion smiled when he noticed Regulus was looking at Alena.

"Reminds me of the ceiling in the great hall" said Dora.

"This is way better, with family" said Walburga shocking everyone again.

"You really need to stop doing that. I think I might get a heart attack if you keep acting like a normal person" said Alena making everyone giggle.

Slowly everyone fell asleep. Hugging one another. Dobby coming in a taking a few photos of the group. Winky tucking everyone in blankets. She really love this new family. They both were really happy that their Master was finally happy and is with her family once again. There favourite pictures was with their Master and
