Hadrian's POV
When we walked to Tom, James, and Sirius, they looked at me all of a sudden.

"The entire wizarding world knows you as Harry James Sirius Potter-Black, and we thought that it would be better for you to remain that way." Tom said.

I looked at Dad, and he nodded. When my parents had no problem, I didn't have any problem. "You just need to know who you are, and that is all we want." Dad said. I nodded with a smile.

"My dad, Fleamont Potter, had a cousin, Augustus Potter. He was a squib, so he lived in seclusion. He died a few years ago. I could be his son. We could make it look like he married a squib, too, and hence, I am still a pureblood. He almost looked like dad, and my appearance wouldn't have to be changed. The age would also be perfect as he was almost 10 years younger than dad." James said.

"Did you decide on a name?" I asked.

"Yes. Charlus Augustus Potter. In honor of my grandfather, who looked after my dad's cousin, and didn't throw him out when they learned that he was a squib like a few families." James said.

I nodded.

"That would make you my uncle. Okay. Not bad. What about Lily?" I asked.

"We met in the town where I was raised. I didn't attend Hogwarts. We found out that she was witch as well and taught her what we knew. Her name would be Lillianne Gray. After she married me, she is now Lillianne Potter." James said.

I nodded. It seemed nice. Lily also liked the name. She could still be called Lily, short for her name, Lillianne.

"My mother had a brother, Alphard Black. He was not known to many people. I could be his son. Not many people know that he died a few years ago. My name could still be Sirius Black with the change in the middle name to Alphard. Regulus could still have the name Regulus with Draconis as his middle name. No one would question us as the Blacks have been known to have the same names.
My uncle hated mom, so he could have named us the same as her sons to prove to her that we could do better than her own." Sirius said.

I nodded. That was good.

"I would be Atlas Hemming. I met Siri during my visit to Britain. We clicked instantly and decided to date. When we knew we were each other's mates, we got married. My name would be Atlas Black nee Hemming. I was homeschooled by my parents, so I didn't take any of the O.W.Ls or N.E.W.Ts." Remus said.

"Did you really choose Atlas so that Siri could still call you Moony? And Hemming? Doesn't it mean shape-shifting?" I asked.

Remus smiled at me. I shook my head.

"Is Papa changing his name?" Teddy asked.

"Yes, Teddy. Everyone believes that Remus is dead. And it would be a big problem if people knew he came back. So, we are changing his name so that no one can figure out he is Remus." My twins said.

Teddy nodded.

I looked at Tom.

"Nothing much is known about Morfin Gaunt, my uncle. I know that he liked a woman who lived near the Gaunt Shack. That woman went missing a few years later. She is now dead. I look like I am in my thirties, so I could be his grandson. When my parents found out I had magic, they gave me off to him, and he raised me. The name could be Marvolo Salazar Gaunt.
He died after a few years. I was almost of age, so I lived by myself. When I turned 18, I came to the bank to find out that I was also a Slytherin through blood. As the heirship was already taken and I was the secondary Heir, I took my share of money from the Slytherin vault and lived in seclusion." Tom said.

"How would you know me then?" I asked.

"When I heard that Voldemort was killed, I wrote a letter to you, asking for a meeting. Since I belonged to the same line, I wanted to let you know that I would not avenge him. You agreed." Tom said.

"I felt a little pity for you and started to look into your past. When I knew what happened, I was enraged, and then I met you to have a talk.
When Marvolo wrote a letter, you didn't know if you could trust him or not, so you asked me to come along, just in case." Dad said.

"When I saw him with you during the meeting, I fell for him. As I am still asking for forgiveness, I just thought that it would seem like I was trying to court him." Tom said.

"Okay. The stories match perfectly. We could slightly alter Remus's face so that the scars would be gone. Tom can be the same. James, I am sorry, but you and Lily need a few tweaks in your appearance, or people will identify you. The same goes for Siri and Regulus. People know how you look like thanks to the Prophet for publishing your pictures from your school days." I said.

They nodded.

Rantoul called them into the ritual chamber one by one to alter their looks.

When they came out, they looked similar, yet different. Remus's scars were gone. He looked better. His eyes were now emerald green. Sirius looked a little more regal with the cheekbone and jaw line modification. Regulus also looked better. He almost looked like his father, Orion, for a minute. James looked like his father, stricter but with an easy-going attitude. Lily's hair was changed from red to dirty blonde, and her eye color was changed to blue. She had a better cheekbone structure.

Tom looked almost the same. His eyes were changed from red to blue. His skin has been tanned a little instead of pale white. His hair has a wavy look.
