Regulus Black is waiting. Since the press briefing in the Wizengamot Court, many families have not responded much. However, Regulus Black knows that the lack of response is only temporary. Those families that have The witch's family in Azkaban, at least, would not remain indifferent.
No one can be fished out anyway, so instead of letting them die of old age in Azkaban, it is better to let them leave a descendant for the family.
Therefore, although none of them had taken the initiative to contact Regulus Black, they had all approved the application to visit their families in Azkaban Prison.
After all, the parties concerned need to agree, right? But he didn't have to wait long, and soon an owl delivered a letter.
Bellatrix Lestrange's in-laws, the Lestrange family, sent a letter of thanks.
From Mr. Regulus Black:
The Lestrange family deeply admires Bellatrix's determination. It is a very great feat to sacrifice her life for the continuation of the family.
Although according to your explanation, this child has nothing to do with the Lestrange family and belongs only to the blood of the Black family, after all, Bellatrix is still a member of the Lestrange family in terms of relationship. He still wore the Lestrange family name until his death.
We have no intention of competing with the Black family for custody of the child, but we just ask you again to understand Rodolphus's feelings. Although this child is not related to him by blood, it was born to his wife after all. He is in Azkaban Prison. The only request he made was to see the child.
Your kindness will be rewarded, the Lestrange family will stand with you, the family door will always be open to Jupiter Black, and you are welcome to come and play with your children at any time.
Also: Send the relics left by Bellatrix in the Lestrange family. This wealth should belong to Jupiter Black.
Yours truly, Rita Lestrange.
Along with the letter, there was a small package, which contained a property transfer document and a set of jewelry boxes. The contents of the document showed that all property belonging to Bellatrix had been transferred to the Lestrange family. To Jupiter Black. Inside the jewelry box were Bellatrix's jewelry during her lifetime, including some that her husband bought for her after her marriage.
Looking at these things, Regulus Black couldn't help but sigh, Jupiter Black was really a happy child, and he was already a little rich man before he grew up.
As for taking the child to Azkaban to visit her nominal father...it seems like she has to ask for leave from Dumbledore again.
In Azkaban today, Regulus Black can be said to be a frequent visitor. Although he does not live here, his irregular visits have made the guarding Auror think that this guy is here to check the guard! None of the heads of the Auror department were so enthusiastic.
Apart from bringing newspapers from the past ten years to Sirius, Regulus Black never did anything out of the ordinary, because the last time he went to the rooftop to make out with Judy Fox, after causing a lot of damage to the Dementors, he has not done anything out of the ordinary. Regulus Black had never been on a rooftop.
Regulus Black greeted the guards politely. Judy Fox, who accompanied him, held little Jupiter in his arms, and Jacob, the servant, held a large bundle of newspapers in his hand.
After checking the things they brought, the guards let Regulus Black and his party in.
"You stay here and give the newspaper to the Aurors here. They will pass it on to Sirius."
Regulus Black ordered Jacob behind him.
"Yes, Master, I will obey your instructions."
Jacob, who looked like a fierce bad guy, kept his attitude low, but it made people think that Regulus Black was the worse one.
You see, even this guy who obviously looks like a bad guy is his younger brother, so wouldn’t the one who is the eldest brother be even worse
"Why don't you go see Sirius today? After all, you brought Jupiter here to prevent the two from meeting each other."
Jodie Fox waved little Jupiter's hand and called to Regulus Black.
"No! He accuses me every time we meet. Who does he have to accuse me? If he wants to see Jupiter, just tell him to come out early. Since he likes to stay in Azkaban so much, just satisfy him."
In the previous year, Regulus Black often went to the Ministry of Magic. In addition to applying for a lawsuit to recover family assets, he was also investigating the case of Sirius back then, just to release him with a retrial.
This is obvious to all, and everyone who knows it strongly agrees with Regulus Black that family is the most important thing.
Many people in the Ministry of Magic admire his spirit. However, as a bureaucracy, it will still get stuck when it should be delayed, and it will still be delayed when it should be postponed. Although I agree with your spirit and hard-working attitude, everything still has to be done. Follow the rules and cause some trouble along the way. It's not that easy to take food from the Ministry of Magic.
As for Sirius's case back then, due to Sirius's uncooperative attitude, the evidence was scarce and unable to refute. This made Regulus Black and Sirius, separated by the iron gate of Azkaban's prison, have to fight each other. I know we had a few quarrels, but later we only brought newspapers to each other and stopped even meeting each other.
Even with little Jupiter, Regulus Black never thought of letting the two meet. Little Jupiter only needed himself as his uncle, and the other uncle who was in prison wanted him to die!
In a reception room, a thin-faced Rodolphus Lestrange walked in. Wearing a prison uniform, when he saw little Jupiter at the first sight, he quickened his pace and hurried over.
Four iron chains connecting his hands and feet were held in the hands of the four Aurors. When he entered the room, the iron chains were fastened to the wall behind him. The distance was calculated, Rodolphus Lestland Qi could only move within one meter of the visitor's seat, and he could not even move more than half of the table in front of him, and on the other side of the table were Regulus Black and the others.
After fastening the chains, the four Aurors, two at the back and two at the side, kept holding the wands in their hands, standing against the wall, so that they could target the people in the room immediately, especially the prisoner's side.
"This must be Bellatrix's child!"
Rodolphus wanted to reach out and touch the child's face, but his hand could only reach halfway across the table.
"Yes! Her name is Jupiter Black. Although she is not related by blood, you are her father in name."
Regulus Black thought for a moment and pushed the child to the other side of the table so that Rodolphus could pick him up.
This move made the four Aurors immediately nervous. Although the prisoners in Azkaban had all their magic sealed with special spells, putting a newborn baby in their hands would be a good idea if anything happened. What if they pinch him to death
Sure enough, you are not the biological son of Regulus Black!
Rodolphus Lestrange carefully held the baby in his arms and couldn't control his tears for a while. He had been married to Bellatrix for many years and had been busy working and toiling for his boss, so he had no time to ask for a baby. His own child, but now holding his wife's child, Rodolphus is still very excited.
"It seems that you like Jupiter very much. You are the father of the child in name. How about giving the child a middle name?"
Regulus Black made a suggestion that moved Rodolphus Lestrange very much.
yes! As the child's nominal father, isn't that the same as a godfather? You can give your child a middle name, which represents a connection that transcends blood ties.
"Okay! Okay! So what middle name should I choose?"
Rodolphus Lestrange was unprepared for this proposal and was actually a little panicked at this time.
"It could be a variation of your first name, or an abbreviation of Lestrange."
Regulus Black understood the other party's reaction very well. It was just like those who were happy to be a father. They were happy and panicked, and surprised and panicked. Even though the child was not his own, he would still be at a loss.
"Can I use Lestrange as my middle name? I beg you."
Of course not, it's a joke. Regulus Black would not agree to use this surname in its entirety.
"How about calling me Jupiter Strange Black? What do you think?"
