COVENTINA LOOKED AT, the woman infront of her with curiousity. Her aura was so differrent from others, it was calm and loving. As if the woman could keep of living things and never got bored of them.

"We wish to thank you for the gift that you sent us, also you too Heiress Lestrange..and you too Heir Malfoy and Black." Coventina said bluntly which had Remina chuckling.

"It's nothing, little one. I wish to ask you for something." Coventina tensed."Here we go." She thought.

"She must thought that I gave her gifts to use her after." Remina mumbled sadly.

"It's fine Remi, We all know that you would never do that." James rassures her. "Thank you, Jamie."

"Would you mind passing your summer vocation with us at the
Black Manor? Your friends are
also welcome." Coventina lifted up her head feeling stunned.

"And in what occasion?" She asked hesitately. "You may not remember it but I am your honorable aunt, your father have been my best friend for years and will always be." She continued.

"I have been searching for you for years now," Anastacius placed his hand on Aelora's shoulder. "She is telling the truth." He whispered.

Remina smiles, she could not wait to see her older self passing times with their niece. She wonder if her son will end
up with her.

"We would love to, as long as Black stay 10 meters away from me." A pouted form on Antares's lips.

"Well he is very stubborn but I will do what I can." A rare smile formed on Remina's lips. "Thank you, Moony." A glint of shock was seen in Remina's eyes

"She remember me?" She thought. "Let's go then," Lucius who was standing behind Remina finally
speak.

"I swear, instead of knowing about her life, we are having more plot twist!"

"So true."

When Coventina stepped inside the Black Manor, blinking in the darkness, as her eyes adjusted to the low light. The familiar smell of ancient magic wafted through the air, and she felt a sense of excitement well up inside her.

"This is where I live, ma Déesse." Antares waste no time in walking next to her. "Hm, Black, 10 meters away." She reminded him.

"Please?" Antares blinked, looking at him with his puppy eyes. "Fine, Rubrum stella." She said with a light sigh.

"What?" Antares tilted his head, his brown hair following the movement.

"What, what?" Coventina looked at him. "The two last word, what does it mean?" Antares asked curious.

"It means stupid brat." Coventina replied which make Antares pout even more.

"Does it really mean that?" Marlena asks Remina but to her surprise, Regulus replies.

"Rubrum stella mean 'Red star', the name Antares is from the Greek origin and it's mean 'brightest red star'." He explained calmly.

"Aww! She gave him a nickname." Alice fuss cutely.

"Hm, James, you are too quiet, what's wrong?" Euphemia asks her son lowly.

"J-Just-..it's nothing." He sighs. "Damn it, get a hold of yourself James." He thought.

"Whatever you say, ma déesse." He replied while staring at her with nothing but adoration.

"I got a ship name!" Barty grins.

"Say it." Marlene commanded.

"Starseeker, like Antares is name after a star and Coventina is a seeker!" Barty stood up and make a badass pose. "I am so cool." He smirks.

"He is right, let's go for Starseeker!!"

"One of those day, I will kill you." She said. Antares laugh quietly,"Don't worry, I will gladly take it." He replied.

"How stupid."

"For you."

"By the way, Black, would it be a problem if I stay in your library to read?" She asked curiously.

"Of course, not, come with me princess!" He grinned and started walking. "Goddess and now Princess?" Coventina murmured confused.

"How could that brat allow that half-blood in our library!" Bellatrix shouted angrily.

"Bellatrix, if I was you, I would not talk. So sit down and shut down your mouth like a good wife will you?" Achilles waste no time in placing her in her place.

Druella shake her hed, she was disappointed in her eldest
daughter and miss the middle one.

Coventina and Antares walked through the grand foyer of Black Manor, her eyes wandering over the paintings and portrait of long-dead wizards and witches on the walls.

The sound of her footsteps echoed through the empty rooms.

As she neared the library, she could already feel the pull of the countless books housed within. The smell of ancient parchment and musty leather filled the air.

The library itself was a marvel to behold, with shelves of books stretching up to the high vaulted ceiling.

There were long rows of tables and desks, all covered in clutter and paper, and Coventina felt a sense of pride to see that the old magic was still alive and well within the walls of the Black family's estate.

Arcturus nods, the girl was good at sensing magic which was something
to be impress about.

The library was dark and mysterious, with dimly lit candles and creaking floorboards. Coventina felt a tingle of excitement as she stepped into the forbidden section, filled with books of dark magic and the forbidden knowledge that the Blacks were so known for.

"Black?" She called out,"Something wrong?" Antares walked toward her.

"Have you ever use the Dark Art magic?" She asked. "Hm, I do." He replied.

"Ah, is it true then? The famous Black madness?" Antares looked at her and sighs. "It is, ma déesse." He smiles.

"I won't be surprise if he spill out all the secrets of his family just for her to be happy." Marlene chuckles.

"Neither would I." Alphard shake his head. He remember how his favorite nephew, Sirius stole book about werewolf for his crush, Remina.

Coventina observed the library, there were books on herbology, potions, astrology, dark arts, history, mythology, and so much more, all written in different styles, some ancient and crumbling, others modern and sleek.

It was like the Peverell Manor's but with more knownledge about the Wizard World while the Peverell library contain more about the blood, rituals, dark magic, death and Greek Gods.

"James, you need to allow me to visit that library!" Remina give James her 'wolfy eyes' that melt James. "Okay."

"Yes!"

Coventina could spend days, if not months or years, just exploring
this library, lost in the depths of knowledge and secrets hidden
within its walls.

She also started to notice the subtle signs of magic throughout the library, the protective wards and charms to prevent theft and damage, the intricate spellwork carved into the walls and floor, the glowing orbs of light that floated throughout the space, lighting the way for anyone who needed it.

"Hold up! Their were wards in that library?!" Asks Sirius.

"Of course, did you think that we did not know of your little habbit?" Walburga raisea brow.

"Hmfp."

Coventina could feel the power of the library, the energy that buzzed in the air, the sense of history and mystery that permeated every nook and cranny.

As she explored the library, Coventina also couldn't help but wonder about the Black family itself, their long and storied history, their role in the wizarding world.

"Can you tell me more about your family?" She asked calmly. "Hm? Where do you want me to start, déesse?" He asked.

"About your father? Or aunts, whatever you want." She shrugged noticing the way Antares tensed.

"Well my father is currently in Azkaban, pretty sure that you now that and my uncle, Regulus Arcturus Black, died years ago in a cave after..." He hesitated to continued.

"Oh.." Narcissa bit her lips to stop herself from crying as well as Walburga.

"What..?" Sirius clenched his hand and stood up. He walked toward Regulus and grabbed his colar harshly.

"You are not going to die or I swear I will have my dogs chasing off your ugly cats!" He growled angrily.

Feeling happy Regulus smiles, "Leave my cats alone I won't die, Sirius." He said softly. "Neither are you, James!" Sirius glare at James who frowned.

"Yes?" He answered nervously, "Why am I being pull in?" He thought.

"You don't have to." Conventina muttered softly. "After he destroyed an horcrux." Coventina tilted her head.

"And what is an horcrux?" She put on an innocent smile. "Horcruxes are pieces of a wizard's soul that allow them to live on even after their physical body is destroyed, making them effectively immortal." He explained carefully.

"Oh Reggie," Narcissa looks at her cousin and hugs him. "Don't go playing the sacrifial idiot, next time." Sirius scolds.

Regulus never know how much he missed those scolding from his older brother as he does now.

Dumbledore was tensed at the thought of the horcrux which he want to keep hidden.

"Oh, thank you." She smile and looked at him. "Oh, ma déesse, next time you want to know something, you don't have to try manipulation." Antared chuckled.

"You little-!" Coventina glared at him yet she was stunned. Nobody ever guess when she manipulated them
yet he know and allow it. He slowly trace her hair away from her face and place it behind her hair. "Next time, just asked."

"Black, you got me interest." She thought curiously.

"Oh no.." James frowns. "Oh yes!!" Remina and Marlene squeals.

"No need to be tense and to frown, Malachi." Achilles whispers to James when he walked past him.

"Both are you are so much alike." He thought.
