Chapter Text

Books brought by the future generation in 1977 bore their fruition. Voldemort was dead, not many trusted Dumbledore and he was going to be strictly investigated.

The future generation had said their goodbyes and went back to their time that morning. It was once peaceful in the great hall until crackling sounds and bright light once again filled the great hall and people fell through the ceiling alerting everyone in the room and giving major deja-vu feels to everyone.

 Echoes of "Seriously!" "What now?" "Bloody Hell" filled the place.

Before anyone could say anything an orange portal opened in the middle of the hall and a man wearing a red cape floated through it. In a strict voice, he commanded "SILENCE!" 

"Who are you?" came from the group just as Rhodes exclaimed "Stephen?"

"Hey Rhodey, as I was going to say my name is Stephen Strange current Sorcerer Supreme and master of Mystic Arts- Yes, we are very real, no we are not just myths - I brought you all here to watch the future as it affects all of you so you can stop it from happening. My actions here will not affect your future until January 01 2017 but after that, you can change it so future events won't happen. Now that the place doesn't resemble a flea market, everyone that's brought here please introduce yourself and where you came from then sit down, reunions can wait till break. These movies will be based on Antoinette Stark's life and more people will come with time including the woman of the hour herself, so why don't you start and behave yourselves? Bye."

With that, he dramatically exited from the same sparkling orange portal he came from. 

Stephen Strange from the current time broke the silence looking faint. "What the Fuck just happened?"

"Howard Stark, 1991" came from one of the unknown men.

"Howard! What are you doing?" yelled two women with him looking exasperated.

"What? He said to introduce ourselves and the movies are about our daughter so yeah" Howard shrugged.

"Very well, Maria Carbonell-Stark, 1991"

"Sofia Carbonell, 1991"

"Enzo Carbonell, 1991"

"Margaret "Peggy" Sousa-Carter, 1991"

"Ana Jarvis, 1991"

"Harry Potter, 1998"

"Cristine Palmer, 2000"

"Stephen Strange, 2000"

"Wait! I know you two. You two left the party with my sister last month." said Harry, glaring at both who nodded, agreeing.

"You have a sister? Lily and I have another child? Why wasn't she shown before-" James Potter rambled panicked.

"Not by Blood but by everything else that matters.'' Clarified Harry stopping his father's hysteria.

"Anyways, James Rhodes, 2013"

"Virginia Potts, 2013"

"Harold Hogan, 2013"

"Odin Borson King of Asgard, 2013"

Christine choked after hearing both girls' names.

"Wong, 2016"

"Tao, 2016 Current Sorceress Supreme"

"Let's start, shall we?" said Dumbledore eyes twinkling with new hope to regain some sort of power.

When everyone settled down screen started playing. 

Chapter Text

The screen brightened showing night-time. The camera slowly pans toward the exterior of what looks like St. Mungos Hospital. Muffled screaming came from one of the rooms but was abruptly cut off by an infant's wail. The crib inside the room is shown with a newborn child inside it. It zooms towards the baby with soft tufts of black hair asleep. 

Many people cooed at the sight of the beautiful baby

Suddenly a commotion was heard outside and eerie music filled the hall.

A harried-looking healer entered the room. "Lady Alárié they are here, you need to go. I will distract them from coming after you and Heiress Alárié-Black." She advised.

Every student turned to look at Alessandra Alárié and Regulus Black who were sitting side by side at the Slytherin table looking stunned and pale. Most of the Blacks present in the great hall collectively held their breath, whether at the name or the realization that they have an heiress is anyone's guess. They turned to look at Regulus quite sure that it was his child as he is sitting with their heiress's mother and they appear to be close while simultaneously worried about their heiress.

Newcomers watched as people reacted differently to the sentence, some with envy or respect but mostly with awe. Christine asked what many of them were wondering "What's so special about the name?"

"It is said there were 7 families that were the first to show magic. They originated from the Old world which is now called Europe, Asia, and Africa, and called Primeval and Aristrocatic houses. The house of Sarpong in Africa, Dixit and Bagchi in India, Lin in China, Alárié and Peverell in Italy, and Nóir in France. Nóir Family migrated to the British Isles in the 1500s and changed their name to Black." Maria Stark informed earning surprised looks from many. "Heiress Alárié-Black as the name suggests is the daughter of two of the most powerful families."

"I am sorry did you just say magic?" asked Stephen as if he couldn't believe she just said that.

"Yes, magic. How else did you think other you brought us here?" Rhodey rolled his eyes and snarked at him.

"If there is a Black heiress then why wasn't she shown when we were watching your life?" Cassiopeia asked Harry who looked like a deer caught in headlight at the attention of every single person in the hall and at the question itself.

He rubbed the back of his neck before replying awkwardly "I..um... There was an attack on December 15, 1981 on the Black Ancestral House, and then the building caught on fire in front of Aurors that were on site afterward so they declared everyone inside dead including Adhara Black. Sirius was the only direct known Black alive in my time. I am Sorry" He offered condolences to the distraught Black Family.

Loki hearing the name tensed going unnoticed by everyone except his mother, who had no idea what the matter was but still held his hand offering comfort.

The movie started once again and everyone watched in silence.

A very exhausted Alessandra is shown bundling up the child and ushered out by the back entrance with people in black clothes and masks chasing after her.

After some time she stops in a back alley out of breath, exhausted, and looking very pale. Sitting down with the help of a wall she cradles her child to her chest crying, she looks down into her eyes with a teary gaze and speaks in a very soft, loving tone " I am sorry I have to leave you so young, but I have to protect you. Because between my life and you there is actually no choice at all. I am sure Reggie will give you a fitting name la mia stella preziosa. Mama loves you so so much il mio dolce bambino. I am so sorry, Amore Mio." With that, she conjures a wicker basket laying the child in it along with a letter. She makes a cut in her hand and starts chanting and tracing runes on the basket and on the baby's forehead with her blood. She presses a kiss on her temple and murmurs "così a lungo amore mio". The basket disappears with a flash alerting the death eaters who enclose her in the alley and began taunting her. Alessandra who is kneeling on the ground with her head bowed stands up spitting out a mouthful of blood and smiles wickedly with bloodstained teeth before t urning towards the leader and saying "Well if I am going to go, I'm gonna go out with a bang."

With that, the camera pans out and shows a bird's view of the locality before a huge explosion happens and the screen goes black.

By the end of the scene, almost everyone is in tears. 

A teary Alessandra who was being comforted by distraught Regulus and Pandora was joined by Lily Evans who slowly embraced and consoled her "It's okay, you can cry, no one will understand you better than me. I won't judge you."

Alessandra broke down in sobs on Lily's shoulder "I didn't get a chance to even name her."

"I know, I know." Lily shushes her crying herself.

They were joined by the Potter and Black Families(excluding Walburga and Sirius). Everyone who was watching them quickly averted their eyes under their glares.

Remus looked at his best friend who was sitting completely unbothered and felt a foreboding dread pooling in. "Aren't you going to join your family?" He asks Sirius.

Sirius shrugs and replied, "No, I couldn't be bothered."

" You couldn't be bothered? You do know her paternity isn't revealed yet and there is a chance that she is your child right?" said Remus looking flabbergasted and a little angry.

" I am not going to have a daughter with a witch from one of the darkest families. Even if I am not the father and Regulus is she will still be the child of two darkest families, she is better off dead honestly." Sirius responds with so much disgust looking towards his family. Remus looks at him as if seeing him for the first time and wonders if the man he acknowledged as his best friend had always been like this. They both go unaware of the murderous gaze on them from someone who heard what he said about their mom.

James Rhodes looks almost nostalgic, hearing the "going out" line from Alessandra's mouth being reminded of his best friend. He looks towards Harley when he hears him ask "That lady is Mechanic's mom right?"

"Yeah kid, she is." He replies ruffling his hair.

The screen brightens showing the outside of an apartment building. It zooms in toward a door, a bright flash appears just as the basket containing the black heiress materializes at the doorstep and the sound of a loud crack fills the air. The door opens and a man comes out with a wand, the camera slowly moves up to show the face of adult Sirius Black looking down at the basket with a constipated expression on his face and looking as if he is contemplating as to close the door and to leave the basket outside.

Surprise flickers across everyone's faces, out of everywhere the black heiress was going to go they hadn't thought that she would arrive at the doorstep of the disowned black heir. Remus who had heard what Sirius just said about the child prayed to every deity out there that it isn't what he thought, dread growing inside him.

Regulus stood up with a thunderous expression from his place between Alessandra and his father, he met his brother's gaze and promised "If you did anything to her anything at all, or if she had even a single scratch on her I will kill you with my own hands and I assure you I will make it painful, brother." he spat out the word brother with so much venom that many flinched.

James who was sitting two seats away from Regulus got to his feet. "I know you and Sirius don't see eye to eye but that's going too far Sirius would never harm a child." He said convinced as he tried to stop him from continuing toward Sirius.

"No?" Regulus turns toward James raising an eyebrow "You don't know him like I do Potter but let's hope for his sake, shall we?" With that, he sits back down and holds Alessandra's hand already having an idea of what's to come.

Making a decision he closes the door but the baby starts crying forcing him to bring the basket into the flat in case neighbors come out to investigate the noises. He puts down the basket on a table before opening the letter and starts reading it.

Sirius,

I will keep this short I know you said that you don't want to be my daughter's life and I won't force you to be but if she came to you that means I am dead because of death eaters hunting me because of my family line and Regulus wasn't nearby to keep her safe. In my last moments, I quite possibly did a ritual as a last resort that would keep her safe and send her to her closest blood relative ergo you (as her sperm donor). I am writing this letter in hopes that you will do one good thing in your life for her and safely give her to Regulus, you won't have to see both of them ever again.

Alessandra Alárié

Remus closed his eyes and bowed his head knowing that whatever will happen next will change the course of their friendship.

Those who didn't know the parentage of the newborn heiress were surprised by the reveal having thought Regulus to be her father given how close he was to the Alárié Heiress. Orion Black turned towards his younger son as to what he thought of the revelation and asked "You knew?" which was heard by everyone because of the stunned silence.

"Yes, she is my best friend and I think of her as a sister. Moreover, I have no sexual interest in anyone, especially Alys."

Dorea Potter who sat in silence till then spoke up looking ready to blow up a gasket. " You impregnated the poor girl and left refusing to be involved with the child? HOW DARE YOU SIRIUS ORION BLACK! I am disappointed in you."

Many looked towards Sirius with disappointment where he sat with a blank face refusing to answer anyone.

Stephen broke the silence as he spoke "While I am very sad this is happening why are we watching her? I thought we were going to see Toni Stark's life."

"Honestly Strange your bedside manners are as abysmal as ever. And we are watching her life aren't you supposed to be a genius." Rhodey responded glaring at him.

"Toni Stark is adopted, and people didn't know?" Christine asked Rhodey in surprise.

It wasn't him that answered but Maria Stark "Yes she is. We found her unconscious in our back garden with a dead house elf by her side on the same day as the massacre not that we knew at the time. She woke up 3 days later and told us what happened. We adopted her within a month with a new name to keep her safe and her identity a secret."

 Alessandra looks toward Maria with hope and almost rambles "She is alright then? How is she? When- When was the last time you saw her?"

May Parker replied to her softly "Last time I saw her we were celebrating New year 2017 and yeah she was alright."

Sirius stares at the letter for some time before looking towards the still crying newborn with a burning hatred. He lifts the basket from the table and almost throws her into the living room cupboard and slams the door shut stopping the sound of cries.
