Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin 30 Black.

He turned around to see his father looking at him from the living room.

"We need to have a talk." Lucius said.

Draco rolled his eyes and followed him inside. Narcissa was already in there, Draco sighed and sat in the seat opposite to them.

"Draco, I apologize for my behavior yesterday," Lucius said making Draco flinch.

'Am I still dreaming?' He thought, if Lucius were to hear his thoughts right now, he would probably lock him in the dungeon.

"Yesterday, things got unnecessarily heated between us." Lucius said with a sincere voice, "I know you are too young for us to be talking about your marriage but running away from the political situation isn't useful either. One way or the other you are going to have to face them so being naive in this area isn't going to help any of us."

"I am not naive, father." Draco said, "I just won't do things that will harm people that are close to me, and nothing is going to change my mind against that."

"We don't mean that either." Narcissa said, "But there are a lot of different kinds of people in this world Draco and they might want to harm you."

"I know what you're are trying to say but I am not a kid anymore." Draco said, "I know who to trust and who not to trust and for those people who mean me harm, I won't show any mercy to them either."

"It's good that you know." Lucius said, "Then that makes things a lot easier, if you have been reading the newspaper lately, then you might know the ministry has recently raided a couple of warehouses for dark objects which has hampered our businesses greatly."

"I know and honestly I think it's a good thing, that it's gone." Draco said making Lucius glare at him, "Father, the times are changing and it's time we change too. Dark objects are powerful and sell well in the black market but is it really worth it?"

"Explain." Lucius said.

"Father, all this time I have been giving away my potion recipes and my research paper for free to get the public to change their mind about our family and especially to make them support me when the time comes." Draco said making Narcissa and Lucius shocked.

All this time they had been thinking that the reason he asked them to put up his research on the newspaper was because he was too kind and Lucius taking this chance to brag about his son, accepted this request without any hesitation as well but to think their son had some other reasons for it left them flabbergasted.

Draco stood up and walked to the nearby window, "So father tell me if one of the warehouses they raid gets tracked down to us, what will happen?"

Lucius stayed silent, he knew what could happen if it was tracked down to them.

"Right now, other than the people in the inside, have been thinking that we are changing, especially due to me." Draco said, "So if you even get suspected for selling dark objects then all of my hard work will wash down the drain. Of course, you can bribe them but how long do you think it will work? Just a rumor is enough to ruin my reputation in the wizarding community."

"Sigh! So now what?" Lucius asked, today he was seeing his son in a different light. He was seeing him more as a colleague than his son.

"Destroy or sell away all the remaining dark items that we sell, and stop manufacturing new ones." Draco said, "We can make money in a not so shady way, like my perfume. By the way, how is it going?"

"We have already manufactured the current batch and all of them were shipped two days ago to different shops all over the UK. Here.." Lucius said passing him the newspaper.

On the very first page of the newspaper was the huge advertisement for the perfume, talking about its uses and suggesting them to buy it as a Christmas gift for their loved ones. This was Draco's idea which he later got from Hermione who was giving him advice on how to sell his perfume better.

"I am sure it will be successful." Narcissa said,

"I hope so." Draco replied, "See father, we can do business in the open by selling stuff people can use than selling shady things hiding from other people's eyes."

Lucius nodded, "But things aren't so easy, and besides we can't run away from dark magic."

"Who's running from it?" Draco said, "Father, you have to understand that I am different from Voldemort, I won't lose myself like him in dark arts."

Narcissa and Lucius looked a bit shaken up when they heard Voldemort's name.

"See you still shake in fear just by his name but do you even have a shred of respect for him?" Draco asked.

Lucius sighed, "No, I don't. It was only fear. At first, when I started following him, I thought he was doing it for the sake of us pure-bloods but soon things got out of control, he was killing people left and right. He didn't care if they were pure-bloods or not. He only wanted power and rule above all of us."

"Exactly father don't you get it, he has no sense of morality nor does he have a clear goal in mind. He was afraid, afraid that someone will take his powers away. If he was so powerful as he claimed to be then why didn't he go fight Dumbledore? The reason is he was--"

"Afraid of death." Narcissa completed his sentence.

Lucius and Draco looked at Narcissa, "You get the intelligence from me, you know."

Lucius frowned and Draco smiled, "I don't want to fight anyone in the open, instead I want all of them to support me. I know there will be some people opposing me no matter what I do but I still want the majority to support me. I don't want to finish what Voldemort started instead I want to create my own legacy."

Lucius looked at his son, "So how long have you been brewing this plan of yours?"

"A lot longer than you can imagine and I haven't even started yet." Draco said, "At first, I wanted to wait longer till I could figure all the things out but now due to all the unexpected changes I have to make my plan start ahead of time."

"So what do you suggest we do?" Lucius asked.

"Expand our business and stay away from the black market. That's the first step anyway." Draco said sitting back on the chair, "And I want you to disinherit me from the Malfoy family."

"What??" Both Narcissa and Lucius said at the same time.

"Listen to me first!" Draco said sighing, "I want you to disinherit me from the Malfoy family then make one of my new siblings the inheritor."

"What if both the twins are girls?" Lucius asked, "And why are you making this decision?"

"Mother, as far as I know, there is no one to inherit the Black family is there?" Draco said

Narcissa eyes lit up, "You mean, you want to inherit the Black family?"

Draco nodded, Lucius frowned and asked, "You haven't answered my first question yet."

"Father, if this is just a question about inheritance then if both my siblings are girls then I will control the Malfoy family myself and in the future, I will have one of my son take over the surname Malfoy and have him inherit it making the Malfoy family's legacy go on."

Lucius kept quiet and didn't say anything,

"So, mother what do we know about the Black family's current situation?" Draco asked

"After my aunt, Walburga Black passed away, the 12 Grimmauld Place along with all the black family's wealth was inherited by my cousin Sirius Black, who is rotting in Azkaban; as for other people, my sister Bellatrix could have inherited the place after Sirius but she is in Azkaban as well." Narcissa explained

"Wasn't Sirius disowned from the black family?" Lucius asked.

"He was, but after my aunt's death whether the other party liked it or not, Sirius inherited the Black family's wealth." Narcissa said with a snorting.

(This part is kinda confusing since it doesn't say whether Sirius inherited the Black family property or not but we are going to go with he did.)

"So we need to convince Sirius?" Draco asked, as far as he believed convincing Sirius would prove to be quite difficult.

"No, there isn't a will directly written to him so if we can convince aunt Walburga and with the help of the ministry of magic, we can have you inherit the Black Family, but you have to change your name from Malfoy to Black." Narcissa said.

"Aunt Walburga? but isn't she like dead?" Draco asked

"The portrait is still there." Narcissa said, "But have you thought things thoroughly?"

"Yes." Draco nodded.

"I have still not agreed to you changing your surname and disinheriting you." Lucius said with a grim face.

"Father, you yourself told me last night about having other wizarding families support me, didn't you? and besides with Black family's wealth, I can live freely without someone trying to control me." Draco said sarcastically.

"You are still mad about yesterday?" Lucius said frowning, "Even when I apologized to you?"

"It's not about apologies, father." Draco said, "Its about time we realize that you and me are different people, we have different views and ideas on things, so I am thinking this is for the best. If I have a brother in the future you can mold him into you. Similar personalities and similar lifestyle, making him just like you. So me getting disinherited is the best part, isn't it? With it, we won't have to argue with each other every now and then, since it will have nothing to do with me and I can live my life without you trying to force your ideas onto me."

"Draco!" Narcissa said, "It's not polite to talk to your father like that. Apologize to him."

"Oh! I don't mean to offend you father, so my apologies." Draco said, "But I still stand by what I said, every time we argue, it has something to do with you trying to force your ideas on me. I don't want to break into a huge fight with you which I believe is bound to happen sooner or later, so I'd rather move out and not be in your control."

"Fine, do what you want." Lucius said getting up.

"Sigh! What do I do with you both?" Narcissa said.

Draco walked over and held Narcissa's hand, "Mother, you, believe me, don't you?"

"I do." Narcissa said, "You are my son, even if the world doesn't believe in you, I always will."

"I know it sounds stupid with me saying all these things out of the blue but I think its necessary." Draco said, "I and father aren't the same person, ever since I was young he has been trying to mold me into being a next Dark Lord but I don't want to be that, I want to be something beyond that."

"I know." Narcissa said caressing his hair.

"Besides with no one to inherit the Black family, it's good that I step up," Draco said

"I think so too." Narcissa said, "I wanted you to inherit the Black family before but Lucius was against it and thinking about it, it wasn't possible to do so either but now with your siblings on the way, I can convince your father about it."

"I hope you can." Draco said lying back, "I came back home for Christmas and the first two days of my holidays are spent with me arguing with father."

"You know he can be stubborn sometimes but he wants the best for our family, that's all," Narcissa said.

"I know but it's irritating if you think about it." Draco said, "With Voldemort now gone for a while, father's still in a state of paranoia. Protecting one's family is a good thing but if you start to get over-protective and controlling then it gets really annoying."

"Okay! Don't talk bad about your father now." Narcissa said pushing his head a little. "I will take you to the Black family house after you finish your first year."

Draco nodded.

(Narcissa is originally from the black family if you are still confused about this.)
