Harry Potter: The Saviour's Awakening

Harry took a deep breath. "We're not sure yet, but we're probably your closest living relatives. Don't worry. We're not sending you back to the orphanage."

" What ?" Dylan gasped, gaping at Harry. "R-Relatives? But-but, I was told I had no family! Why -"

"We didn't even know you existed until a few hours ago, Dylan," said Sirius patiently. "Can you please tell me the name of the orphanage that you grew up in?"

"It's called David's orphanage for children."

"Alright," said Sirius softly. "I'll just have to check something, but while I'm gone, Harry here will explain everything to you. But before I go, will you let me take a drop of your blood?"

"Blood? Why?"

"It is so that we can know who your parents are," said Harry soothingly. "Please, Dylan, it's very important. I'll explain everything to you as soon as Sirius leaves."

Sirius flicked his wand, conjuring a phial. Harry waved a hand over Dylan's palm, slicing a thin line. Dylan was gobsmacked at the display. Once a few drops of blood were taken, Harry healed the wound and Sirius left.

"How - how did you do that?" whispered Dylan.

"It's called magic."

...

Sirius and Amelia walked inside the orphanage, grimacing at the environment. This did not look like an orphanage which would take care of its children well. It was probably very poorly funded and where bullying was rampant.

"Yes, may I help you?" said the matron as she smiled sweetly at the expensively dressed couple in front of her.

"Yes, we were looking for the person in charge," said Amelia formally.

"That would be me. I'm Mary Jones," she said extending her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Jones," said Amelia. "I am Agent Bones from the MI5 and this is my partner Agent Black. We'd like to ask you a few questions regarding one Dylan Lestrange."

Miss Jones paused before asking carefully, "What would you like to know?"

"How did he end up at this orphanage?" asked Sirius.

"He was born here," she shrugged. "A teenage girl came here about eleven years ago, heavily pregnant in the evening. It's quite common so we took her in. She seemed to quite unhealthy; probably lived on the streets, poor dear. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy and asked us to name him Dylan Lestrange; yes, Lestrange is a very strange name, isn't it? Anyway, she kept mumbling about revenge and her son being half-blood. I remember it well because the words she used were so weird. May I know what's interesting about him?"

Sirius walked up to the woman and looked into her eyes. While his Legilimency skills couldn't even penetrate the mind of a young wizard, Muggles had no natural shields whatsoever. He went through her memories and found the relevant information. He saw everything that had been done to the boy and was disgusted by it. This only validated Harry's theory - there were indeed more magical children abused by Muggles. Harry wasn't the only one.

"Come on, Amelia," Sirius spat angrily. "We have what we need."

"Wait, where is the boy?" asked Miss Jones.

Amelia pointed her wand at her.

" Obliviate! "

...

"Thank you for meeting me without an appointment, Ironclaw," Amelia began.

"No problem at all, Lady Black," the goblin replied. "What can I do for you?"

"We were hoping you could identify this boy's parents," Sirius took over as he removed the phial containing a few drops of blood.

"The boy gave us his blood willingly and authorised it," said Amelia swiftly. "This is a matter concerning the Most Ancient and Noble House of Lestrange."

"Indeed?" asked Ironclaw in surprise.

"He was found in Muggle Edinburgh. He's just turned eleven and we need to know if he is related to the Lestranges and who his mother is."

The goblin nodded as he got a small silver bowl. He began mixing several powders and potions inside it. He took the phial and poured the blood into it. Once done, he took a special quill and a parchment shimmering with magic. He dipped the quill into the bowl. After a few seconds, the quill activated and began writing on the parchment. Ironclaw looked at it and nodded grimly.

"It looks like your suspicions were correct," said Ironclaw. "He is the illegitimate child of Rabastan Lestrange."

Sirius and Amelia took the parchment showing the lineage test and looked at it.

Name: Dylan Lestrange

Father: Rabastan Lestrange (Pureblood)

Mother: Charlene Cooper (Muggle-born)

Date of Birth: 1st July, 1992

Status: Illegitimate Heir Apparent of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Lestrange

"He must have raped her," Amelia muttered grimly. "That explains the revenge part."

"And the half-blood part as well," Sirius agreed. "She was a Muggle-born and the Lestranges are pureblood fanatics. She must have thought it would be the ultimate revenge against them."

"I'll check the Ministry archives for anyone named Charlene Cooper. Thank you for your services, Ironclaw."
