Sirius Black

Despite his young age, Harry Potter displays extraordinary signs of uncommon power. His magical core is not only strong but unusually active, allowing him to perceive the so-called "glow" of the wizarding mafia: a kind of aura or trace of power, favors, and connections that other wizards cannot see. To him, these connections are almost visible, like invisible threads that reveal who has influence, who is lying, or who is linked to darker forces. Furthermore, Harry possesses a natural affinity for magical creatures. He is not afraid of them, and they do not reject him; on the contrary, they tend to be curious or even calm in his presence, as if they recognize something in him. This connection is not learned, but instinctive, reinforced by his magical core. What is most exceptional is that within this core lies the ability to speak the dragon language. Though still unaware of it, his magic responds in a primal and powerful way, driven by intention rather than control. This makes him a unique case: a child who not only perceives the magical world on a deeper level but is destined to interact with ancient forces that few can comprehend or master.

Sirius Black is a man of commanding presence, difficult to ignore, marked by both his lineage and his history. Physically, he is tall, with a lean yet sturdy build, and a relaxed posture that conveys both confidence and defiance. His hair is jet black, long, and slightly tousled, falling naturally around his face. His gray eyes are intense and expressive, capable of reflecting mockery, warmth, or a dangerous darkness in seconds. His pale skin accentuates his defined features: a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and a somewhat wild beauty. Depending on the stage of his life, he may appear more polished or slightly disheveled, but he always retains that characteristic magnetism. As for his age in this AU, Sirius is in his late twenties or early thirties, young enough to be impulsive, but with enough emotional weight to have matured by force. His attitude is a complex mix of rebelliousness, charisma, and fierce loyalty. He is sarcastic, witty, and often uses humor—sometimes dark—as a coping mechanism. He despises unjust authority and doesn't hesitate to challenge rules if he believes them to be wrong. Despite his carefree appearance, he is deeply protective of those he loves, especially Harry, whom he cares for with almost absolute devotion. However, he also has clear flaws: he can be impulsive, stubborn, and act without thinking about the consequences. He has a tendency to live in the moment, sometimes ignoring risks, but when it comes to his chosen family, he becomes surprisingly serious and determined. Deep down, Sirius is someone who has lost a great deal, but he refuses to let it consume him. His personality combines an almost savage freedom with a profound need to protect and belong, making him both chaotic and incredibly loyal.

Speakers of the dragon language are not mere mages with a curious ability, but rare individuals whose magical core possesses an ancient affinity with dragons. The dragon language is not just a language, but a form of living magic: every word contains intention, power, and authority. It is not learned conventionally; it is awakened. There are three main types of speakers. The innate ones, born with the ability, usually through inheritance or ancient family ties to dragons; their mastery emerges in childhood, though it is often unstable at first. The resonant ones, who develop the ability after close contact with dragons or related magic, such as surviving their fire or forming a bond with a creature. And the scholars, extremely rare, who manage to understand fragments of the language through in-depth study, though they never reach the same level as the others. Speaking this language involves more than simply uttering sounds: it requires control of the magical core and unwavering intention. A single mistake can have unpredictable consequences, ranging from magical failures to aggressive reactions from nearby creatures. However, when mastered, it allows one to calm, summon, or even issue limited commands to dragons, always depending on the speaker's willpower. Furthermore, speakers develop distinctive traits: resistance to heat, sensitivity to primal magic, and, in some cases, subtle changes such as more intense eyes or an intimidating presence. Even so, this power comes at a cost: the connection with dragons can influence emotions, making them more impulsive or territorial. Therefore, speakers of the dragon language are both feared and respected. They are not masters of dragons… but neither are they mere humans. They are a bridge between two ancient natures that should rarely meet.

Magical schools are not merely educational institutions, but rather extensions of different approaches to magic and magical society. There are three main types. First, traditional academies, such as Hogwarts, prioritize a balance between theory, practice, and personal development; they typically divide students into houses based on personality traits, magical affinities, and potential. Second, specialized schools focus on specific areas such as potions, combat magic, magical creatures, or ancient magic; these admit students with specific talents or magical groups with strong affinities. Third, lineage or elite institutions, often private or secret, are accessible only to influential families; they teach more advanced arts, including restricted magic, magical politics, and power management. The selection system doesn't rely solely on an acceptance letter. It all begins with the manifestation of the magical core in childhood, which is assessed using magical records or detection devices. Then comes magical affinity, which determines what kind of magic flows most naturally within the individual. Schools send invitations based on these factors, but there's also a component of mutual selection: the student may be drawn to a particular institution, but the school (or its magical artifacts, such as hats, wands, or ancient seals) decides whether they are a good fit. Furthermore, family lineage can play a role, whether through tradition, social pressure, or inherited abilities. In exceptional cases, some students receive multiple offers, forcing them to choose their path, while others are rejected by demanding institutions and must adapt to alternatives. Finally, once accepted, internal systems such as houses, mentorships, and initial tests further redefine the student's place, ensuring that each mage develops where their magic and personality best suit them.

Sirius Black arrived in Godric's Hollow just minutes after the attack, alerted by a premonition he couldn't ignore. The Potters' house was destroyed, ripped open like a wound in the stillness of the night. The air smelled of broken magic. He entered without thinking, his heart pounding in his chest. The first thing he saw was James. His best friend lay motionless, lifeless, and for a moment Sirius couldn't move forward. The world seemed to stop, as if his mind refused to accept the obvious. But then… a cry. Sharp. Lively. Harry. Sirius ran upstairs, finding the room wrecked. Lily was on the floor, motionless… and in the crib, little Harry was crying, with a fresh scar on his forehead. Alive. Trembling, Sirius approached and took him in his arms with an almost desperate urgency, as if someone might snatch him away at any moment. The child clung to him instinctively, and that small gesture was enough to break him completely. Sirius collapsed down the stairs, still holding him tightly, burying his face in the baby's hair as tears began to stream uncontrollably. His breathing was ragged, choked with loss, with guilt…with everything that had gone wrong. "I'm sorry..." she murmured, her voice breaking. "I'm so sorry..." She pressed Harry a little closer to her chest, as if that would protect him from the whole world. "But you're here..." she whispered, closing her eyes tightly. "You're still here..." The child's crying gradually subsided, as if he recognized the warmth, the closeness. Sirius barely raised his gaze, his face still marked by tears, and observed him. And in that instant, he made a decision. "I won't let you down," she said softly, resolute despite everything. "I swear, Harry... I'm going to take care of you. No matter what." She held him more carefully, rocking him gently, still sitting on the steps of a house that was no longer a home. That night, Sirius lost everything… except him. And that would be enough.

The death of Harry Potter's parents occurs during the First Wizarding War, when Lord Voldemort begins a hunt against the Potter family after learning of a prophecy that pointed to Harry as a threat to his power. James and Lily Potter were hiding in Godric's Hollow under the Fidelius Charm, entrusting their location to Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed them by revealing their hiding place to Voldemort. On the night of October 31, 1981, Voldemort arrived at the house determined to kill the boy. James tried to stop him without his wand, giving Lily time to escape with Harry. He was killed almost immediately. Lily, instead of escaping, chose to stay with her son. Voldemort gave her the opportunity to step aside, but she repeatedly refused, placing herself between him and Harry. That act of love created an ancient and powerful magical protection. When Voldemort cast the Killing Curse at the baby, it rebounded, destroying his physical body and scarring Harry with the lightning bolt scar. Lily died in the process, but her sacrifice saved her son. This event not only temporarily ended Voldemort's reign, but also turned Harry into "the boy who lived," beginning the legend that would define the future of the wizarding world.

Magic is governed by natural principles that every wizard possesses from birth. The most important is the magical core, an internal source of energy that determines each individual's power, stamina, and affinity. This core grows with practice, emotions, and family heritage, but it can also be damaged by overuse or unstable magic. Wand selection is not random: the wand chooses the wizard based on magical compatibility, character, and potential. A poor connection reduces the effectiveness of spells, while a perfect affinity significantly enhances them. Furthermore, there is emotional resonance, where intense feelings can amplify or disrupt magic, especially in young wizards. The familial bond with magical creatures is another fundamental law: certain families develop hereditary ties with specific creatures, allowing for communication, partial control, or even magical cooperation. The magical imprint, a kind of unique "signature" left by each spell that allows the caster to be traced, also governs. Magic follows the principle of intention and knowledge: it is not enough to simply say a spell; understanding and will are required to execute it correctly. Finally, there is magical balance, which prevents extreme abuses. The more powerful or forbidden the magic, the greater the physical, mental, or even spiritual cost. Ultimately, magical heritage not only transmits power, but also affinities, talents, and, in some cases, curses or unique abilities, giving each lineage distinctive characteristics that directly influence the mage's development.
