Chapter 67: Don’t Call Me That! - 67
┏ Asura POV ┓
"Hello, Lord Black. Are you ready for the interview?" said a white-haired woman holding a recorder in front of me.
"Yes, Ms Skeeter," I said.
Today I came in for an interview with Rita Skeeter to answer some of her and people from the wizarding world questions.
"First question: How old are you, Mr Black?" asked Rita.
"Well, I am 21 years old, Ms Skeeter" I replied.
"Oh… Please call me Rita, Mr Black."
I didn't give her permission to call my first name, so she turned awkward.
Clearing her throat, she said "*Ahem*… If you don't mind, you are very young to be taken the mantel of Lordship of Ancient and Most Nobel House Black. So how does it feel? Was it stressful, or do you have someone to help you with?"
"I am handling very well, Ms Skeeter, and no, I don't have anyone to help me with my Lordship. And I think I am mature enough to handle it properly." I answered.
"Is your family connected to Weasley?"
Well, that came out of nowhere, but I can guess the wizarding world wanted to know since I have red hair.
I shook my head and said, "No, my family has no connection to Weasley."
"What is your connection with the mass murder, Sirius Black?" She asked, while shoving her recorder closer.
"I have no connection with him other than sharing Black Blood, and yes, I am a pureblood. My mother's family side is from Japan and is very secretive. You can confirm it with the Goblins." I said.
She nodded and said "Next question, you appeared in the weekly magazine as the number one bachelor, but there was no confirmation from any trusted source. Can you answer, are you seeing anyone?" She asked.
"No, I am not seeing anyone… and I would like to stop questioning my personal life." I replied.
She nodded, apologising, then looked at both of my rings and asked "Are you a Lord just for House Black or any other?"
"I am Lord of Black and Peverell." I answered, which surprised her, and soon she started asking more questions about my life indirectly, which I ignored or skillfully changed the topic.
I answered most of her questions while also keeping myself mysterious.
After the interview, we both had smiling faces. I turned around as I was about to leave and said "{Hypnosis}. Do make me look good, Ms Rita~"
…
"★~Shikamaru ~★ "
'What the hell is wrong with Asura?' Shikamaru thought.
Since coming to this world, Shika has been running around doing work in the dark. Sure, he could send shadows, but they could only do so much, as they are not smart enough.
Shika initially enjoyed roaming the new world, but soon started missing his free time. He wanted to lay down and watch the cloud, but guess what? They are not beautiful anymore.
This whole world is filled with pollution and smells disgusting, especially in London.
'*Sigh*… I can't even find a boy?' Shikamaru thought as he lit his cigarette.
While Asura told him there was no deadline, he also mentioned that he would get free time if he found the boy with a scar on the forehead.
So he is travelling around the entire of Britain to find Harry James Potter.
Picking up a newspaper, he saw.
╔===========================╗
[Lord Black wants to teach Hogwarts as a professor?]
╚===========================╝
'*Puff*… I guess Asura started his scheming as always. They are the worst.' Shikamaru thought as he was smoking.
╔===========================╗
[Lord Black not a pureblood supremacist?]
╚===========================╝
'Guess he wants his image to be perfect' Shikamaru thought again while reading.
Then threw the paper in the garbage. Finally, he walked around to take a fresh breath.
"Shika" Suddenly summoned Asura.
'Sigh… no break today!'
…
"★~ Tonks Family ~★ "
"Are you sure you want to meet him?" Asked Nymphadora Tonks asked.
"Yes, honey!… I always regret leaving the Black Family. I missed my life as a pureblood wizard." said Andromeda Tonks, her mother.
"You sound like a pureblood supremacist," said Nymphadora Tonks mockingly.
"Nymphadora… you know what I mean." replied Andromeda.
"Do not call that!… and yes, I know what you mean… I am excited to meet him. Did you see the Wizards Weekly Magazine last week?… That body…" Nymphadora replied while blushing a bit.
Nymphadora hates being called by her first name whenever someone other than her family calls her, and she has a habit of throwing jinxes at them.
"Control yourself, young lady… we are meeting Lord of not one but two Ancient Houses. While the news says that he is nice and respectable, they can be paid to write that." scolded Andromeda.
Edward Tonks, the husband of Andromeda, walked to the kitchen area where the discussion was happening.
"Let her be Andromeda. Dora is a growing girl, and it's not bad to have a crush on some as good-looking as Lord Black. I had a chance of meeting him once at Gringotts, and he seemed respectable yet… little intimidating." Edward said as he whispered the last part.
Nymphadora jumped excitedly and soon hugged her father.
"Do not spoil her, Ted!" Andromeda said. She tried to look strict, but a small smile was on her face, looking at the father-daughter duo.
"Chop-Chop!… we need to be early to make a good impression. So let's get moving." Andromeda said as she held the Portkey, a magical object enchanted to bring anyone touching it to a specific location instantly.
Soon the family teleported to Grimmauld Place. Everyone landed fine except Nymphadora, whose face was planted on the floor.
"I see everyone arrived safely?" said Asura.
…
┏ Asura/Naruto POV ┓
I see that they arrived safely, except for Nymphadora, who looked like she had tripped.
"I see everyone arrived safely?" I said.
Then everyone turned their back to see me.
Nymphadora hearing me, suddenly got off the ground with a red face. Her hair kept changing multiple colours and unconsciously stayed in red.
Looking at her, I was not surprised since I had looked through everyone's information before they came. Nymphadora is open about being a Metamorphmagus, a person who can change his/her features without a potion or a spell. And you also need to register in the minister as a Metamorphmagus too.
"I see you are a Metamorphmagus. It's a rare trait shown in the Black Family… and have a seat." I said, showing empty chairs in front of my desk.
After they sat down, I asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
They nodded, and Edward said "Yes, Lord Black, thank you for asking."
I sensed a lie; they didn't have breakfast and wanted to be polite.
"Kreacher" I called out.
"Yes, Master!" Kreacher appeared and said.
"Bring them something to drink and some refreshments." I ordered.
Kreacher nodded and left.
Looking at their surprised face, I almost chuckled. It's known in the wizarding world that house-elves are not appropriately treated, and seeing a house-elf who dressed nicely and behaved properly is rare, almost non-existent.
"I will come to the point. I want to hire Edward as a lawyer and want to accept Andromeda and Nymphadora to accept back into Black Family." I said, which stunned everyone.
…
┏ Nymphadora POV ┓
'AAA…(˃̣̣̥﹏˂̣̣̥)' why did I have to embarrass myself like that?
I tripped when I was Portkey'ed here. I always stumble everywhere I go, no matter what kind of terrain, I always trip. Hell, in the morning, I tripped just walking on a flat floor.
My hair started changing colours because of my embarrassment, which caused him to guess I was a Metamorphmagus.
'He is very fit.' I thought about how hot he was.
Everyone sat down in the chairs in front of him. He asked us if we had eaten breakfast, but my father lied and said we had breakfast.
Now thinking about food, I am suddenly getting hungry. Nooo! Think about something else. I don't want to embarrass myself if my stomach starts growling.
"Bring them something to drink and some refreshments." He ordered
Brilliant, he ordered some tea, so now my stomach won't make weird noises.
"I want to hire Edward as a lawyer and want to accept Andromeda and Nymphadora to accept back into Black Family." He said.
Huh? Did I hear that right? He wants us back to the family? My mom was disowned because she ran away and married a muggle-born.
"Hum… Can you repeat that? I think I might have misunderstood" My mother Andromeda asked.
Yeah, I think I also might have misunderstood too.
"I said I am willing to accept Andromeda and Nymphadora into Black Family" He hunk said.
I was about to yell 'Don't call me that' by a glare from my mom stopped me.
Jeez… it's a reflex, not my problem that I can't stop it.
"Can you tell us why Mr Black, if you don't mind?" My dad said as he went into lawyer mode.
"It's simple. One, I am not a blood supremacist, so I thought the previous Lord Black made a mistake disowning her. Second, I learned that your daughter is a talented woman who wanted to be an aurora. And A very talented healer mother, so it's beneficial for me to have her in the family. And finally, I wanted to hire you as a family lawyer, and I heard you are very talented in that field." He said to my dad.
I almost saw the clocks running around in dad's brain, and my mother bit her lips in expectation.
My father is a well-known and famous lawyer for wizards and witches. My mother is a private healer and is very good at her job. The ministry even invited her to become a healer, but she declined.
When I graduate, I am in the second year of my Hogwarts year, and I want to be an Aurora; wizarding police. Sure, I am just a second-year student, but I was shown I was exceptional at duelling.
[Hogwarts = Seven years.]
Seeing my dad quiet, Mr Black said "And keep in mind I won't force your daughter into any political marriage if you are worried about it. I am willing to write a contract with Gringotts if you need it."
Oh, he is going as far as writing a contract with Goblins? You can get in a lot of trouble if you break a contract with Goblins. In the best-case scenario, all your money in the bank will be taken away, and worst case, you will get your head chopped.
"Mr Black, for what do you need a lawyer?" My dad Edward asked.
Mr Black smiled and said "To sue the Ministry Of Magic."
Huh?
…
┏ Asura POV ┓
"Thank you for coming today" I said as I shook Edward's hand.
Turning towards Nymphadora, don't-call-me-that Tonks, I said "I can see that you aren't able to control your Metamorphmagus properly."
Seeing Nymphadora's confused look, I changed my hair colour to black, blonde and red, which caused her to be surprised.
"Wait… what?…. That's amazing!" she said with awe.
"I thought I was the only one, and I have never met another Metamorphmagus" She then replied.
"Well, I can teach you if you want" I replied, thinking it's nice to have a mole in the Aurora department.
She turned excited and hugged me, but soon realising what she had done, ran behind her mother, blushing.
We have talked about many things, and I explained to them that the ministry took the money from Black Vault with an invalid explanation.
I also showed that Sirius Black did not receive a trial from the public records of the courthouse.
Andromeda turned sad when we were talking about her brother Sirius. She never believed he murdered people in cold blood. She was devastated when she heard Sirius Black died. I know I burned his body; I simply left a wood clone with Fuinjutsu.
I burned the body because I sucked all Sirius's blood away, so he became a mummified corpse.
She doesn't know she is sitting in front of her brother's killer, chatting happily.
I signed an employment contract and hired Edward Tonks as a lawyer, and he said he would answer my request about joining the Black family after a few days. Which I was okay with.
"Grr…." I turned around and saw a baby dragon with blood-red scales.
Oh, it seems the baby dragon is hungry, since I told Kreacher I would always be the one feeding him.
"Come here, boy!" I called him into a hug as I bent down.
The egg which was given was Merlin hatched, and a tiny baby dragon came out of it.
I named him "Nirnasha" which means 'One who can never die; deathless'
He looked different from the dragons from Harry Potter World, and I am not even sure what race he is since his favourite thing to consume is… Blood, more specifically female dragon blood.
Once, he got so angry at a Griffin that he spits off a Blood red fire which has the properties of guess what?
His fire can:
Curse any living or non-living thing.
His fire can absorb the life and blood of a creature it touches, and somehow Nirn was able to control it.
The poor Griffin just touched him with its wings because he wanted to play, the closest thing I could get was a Griffin to play with Nrin, but Nrin only liked my touches and sometimes Ela's since she smells like me sometimes.
Coming back to Nirnasha, or Nirn. I summoned a barrel from my inventory and placed it in front of him.
Unlike other beasts, he didn't dive in. No, he sat down elegantly and opened its mouth. Slowly, the blood from the barrel travelled into its mouth.
He also weirdly walked with two legs instead of four, but I think he likes to copy me.
"*Burp*" Nirn burped out after finishing almost a barrel of female dragon blood.
Nirn then came onto my lap and started going to sleep while rubbing my stomach.
When he hatched, he looked like a typical dragon, but when I fed him my blood to finish the familiar contract, he slowly changed.
Looking at him loving, I realised he was like my son since he had my blood in him.
…
Kreacher came into my office and whispered "Master, you got a letter from Lord Greengrass."

Crazy_Penguin I do not want to hear any of you saying that, ohh Tonks is young to think about that stuff… Blah blah blah…
Magic makes wizards and witches mature faster, both body and mind in most cases.
