HOGWARTS
The first few days were in equal part very exciting and very mundane. These classes were interesting, Alphard thought but he could not find it in himself to pay proper attention towards them.
The actions of his fellow classmates were very disheartening too for Alphard and he cursed the name black once more for causing the distrust Gryffindor had towards him.
Even professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor house, had viewed him strangely, the first time he had attended her class and that had resulted in not performing up to his mark as Andromeda would have put it. Not that I could, transfiguration is a legit boring subject.
truth to be told he was very disappointed in the way his first few days in Hogwarts had went, he had failed to make new friends aside from harry who was actually avoiding him since the big Sirius Black reveal done by ron in the dormitory..even Neville that damn pussy had glared at him with disgust from what I now, my cursed family did nothing to that boy .
"Come class , today we will finally step out of the castle walls for we can't fly brooms in the class now, can we?" The eagle eyed madam hooch told the entire gryffindor first years.
"Form a line and move your little feet fast, the Slytherins are already waiting in the field" she called out and naturally Alphard went last in the line , he was not in mood to socialize too so he kept quiet and tried to zone out rather than hearing the idle chatter of the gryffindors.
"What's it like flying the broom? "A brown haired guy, probably Dean Thomas, asked Alphard .
He was surprised by being questioned so he took some time to answer.
They passed through the stairways across the great hall to exit the castle walls , all while Alphard thought what to answer.
"Well, it's….. fun " he offered lamely to which dean Thomas brows furrowed,probably trying to find any insult in the statement Alphard thought.
"I have no experience of flying but I heard it's fun to fly " he tried again to which dean scoffed.
"It's flying on a broomstick , of course it would be cool and fun".
Before he could retort, the students came to a halt "line up fast" madam hooch ordered " hurry up" she commanded when she saw some gryffindors lingering behind.
Alphard was one of the gryffindors who had lingered behind mainly because he was unsure of where to stand so he decided to wait for everyone to stand .
He stood behind Neville who gave a fierce glare when he came beside him and alphard internally scoffed .
Now each of you have a broomstick laying beside you madam hooch announced and alphard looked down to see an old and probably broken broomstick laying beside his feet .
"Hover your hand over the broomstick and yell "UP" like this" madam hooch then proceed to demonstrate her instructions and the broomstick came flying up to madam hooch hand.
When no one moved to do exactly what madam hooch told she lost her cool " what are you all waiting for? For professor Snape to finall?" She yelled and alphard alongside the first years hovered their hands over the broom.
"UP" he commanded but the broomstick did not move even a bit from the ground , "up" he commanded again but the broomstick did not move from the ground like it was tied from an invisible rope
He looked around to see how the others were faring when he saw Neville broom go soring in his hands what the fuck? How did he do that? . Harry too had his broom in his hand . Alphard did take some amusement when he saw how Ron's broom had soared right to his nose , hitting him in the process.
His amusement was short-lived when he found that most of the first years had brooms in their hands and he was among the few who did not.
"Please come UP" he commanded again this time focusing on the broom alone and the broom just moved a little.
"Are you a squib?" Neville asked with a nervous voice, holding his broomstick in his hand and Alphard felt his temper spike me. A squib? How dare he!!.
"What draws you that conclusion? "Alphard rudely asked Neville , I am no squib , I recently brewed our first potion!!! Even a squib can brew a potion, a voice that sounded like Neville whispered in his head. No, I am not.
"You can't even make your broom fly , all you have to do is picture the broom flying and just say the words" Neville whispered and alphard felt like a fool.
He immediately pictured the broom flying in his hands from the ground and then chanted up and this time Alphard was not disappointed.
"Now since most of you have brooms on their hands we move to the next step" madam hooch started and that is how to sit on a broom, listen and watch this carefully for this is a very important step".
………………….
"I need to take him to the hospital". She pointed her finger at Alphard "help me carry him". Why me?
"Alright" he said and dejectly went towards the moaning Neville and with the help from madam hooch he made Neville stand and flung his hand over his own shoulder ..."easy" he said when he felt Neville shaking from pain.
"Do not go even close towards your broomstick while I am gone or this will be your last class at Hogwarts" madam hooch warned and then without even a signal , she marched past Alphard and Neville.
Bloody women!How can you match her steps in such a state? Hearing Neville whimper he started moving causing Neville to move though with a scream "Let's go there my friend,or those stairs at Hogwarts will eat us raw".
They started following madam hooch who was surprisingly patiently waiting for them at the exit door of the castle , and as soon as they reached towards her she started walking again .
"What a weird woman" Alphard said aloud when he saw madam hooch was far from hearable range "can't she understand that it's too difficult to walk when you have an injured person leaning on your shoulder" he gave Neville a sidelong glance " no offence to you mate".
Alphard came to an abrupt stop when he felt Neville refusing to move , he looked and Neville and found himself face to face with a severe loathing glare " i am not your mate" Neville said from gritted teeth though whether from pain or hatred Alphard could not tell.
"What's your problem? '' alphard whispered furiously, "have i done you a personal harm? Said something to you?" He clutched the hand of the other boy and Neville gave a sharp Yelp " or is the name black you have hatred to?".
"It's the same for all of you, you all see my name and treat me as a future dark lord" Alphard yelled, clutching the hand more tightly , is that the reason for your hatred? Alphard demanded "tell me" .
"You…are…hu-rting me" Neville choked between tears and alphard abruptly released his hold on Neville's hand making him stagger a little.
"I ..am so-rry, I didn't mean to do that" he tried to apologise but Neville's face made his heart twist into knots. What's the matter with me?.
Before he could apologize again, Madam Hooch's voice cut through their drama " I do not have an entire day, move already". She commanded loudly enough that one of the statues holding a sword staggered a little.
Alphard swallowed his guilt and carried a near unconscious Neville to the hospital ward , Neville meanwhile was muttering something inncoreshiable but Alphard heard bits and pieces away……everything…. family were the words Alphard could hear .
"My god what's happened to him" it was madam pomfrey who spoke, her face had an expression of mixed concern and curiosity.
"He fell down from the broom, approx twenty feet of height" madam hooch answered for Alphard and together they helped a unconscious Neville to the hospital bed and madam pomfrey immediately began her work waving her wand in some complex manner muttering under breath which Alphard paid no mind.
What does Neville mean by family …. everything…. Does my family do anything to him, who happened to Neville's parents in the first place? Dromeda never talked about any of the purebloods and Zinky didn't know much about them…
"Mr black , here you are " Alphard knew that voice , he moved around and came face to face with professor mcgonagall who was eyeing with pity?.
"Yes professor" he replied and waited for the professor to say "the headmaster had summoned you, come". She said and started moving ahead without even looking back.
Alphard hurried behind her and soon came behind her. What does the headmaster want from me? Had he seen me hurting Neville? .
"Um…professor" Alphard started and professor McGonagall spared a glance at Alphard.
"What does professor Dumbledore want from me? Have I done something wrong? ". He finished.
"Have you done something wrong , Mr black?"she questioned back and Alphard gulped down.
"Of course not ,professor," Alphard replied politely.
"Then you have nothing to fear, Mr black "she started "as for the headmaster summon , it's none of my business".
The rest of the walk went in silence until they reached the seventh floor , coincidently the Gryffindor common room was also on the seventh floor.
They stopped before a large stony gargoyle who had its wings wrapped around itself. Beautiful .
"Cherry pops" professor mcgonagall whispered and the wings spread open making even Alphard gasp a little.
"Go in, the headmaster will see you on the other side " professor mcgonagall instructed him and alphard gave a soft nod.
As soon as Alphard entered the gargoyle it started to close its wings and then it moved around in a circular motion , Alphard felt that he was gaining height as the time went by.
After some seconds later the wings of the gargoyle spread wide open and alphard sped out of it, he saw a wooden door ahead of him and concluded that this was the way.
After composing himself as best as he could he knocked on the wooden door and an ancient voice whispered.
"Come in , Mr black" and the door opened and alphard entered to see the greatest wizard of all time after Merlin himself ….. walking to and fro….
"Good evening,professor " Alphard said, bowing a little but Dumbledore just waved his hand and conjured a seat in front of Alphard .
"Come sit , mr black "Dumbledore gestured towards the conjured chair we have a lot to discuss . A lot!?.
"Have I done something,headmaster?" Alphard asked the same question he had asked earlier to professor mcgonagall.
"That's rather …debatable" Dumbledore answered curiously looking at Alphard with his sharp blue eyes.
"Debatable ? Headmaster" Alphard asked shakingly… dont expel me!!
"Debatable yes" Dumbledore answered and then he took an old rusty paper and gave it to Alphard.
Curious, he unfolded the paper and found it to be the daily prophet , he gave Dumbledore a dumb glance what's need to read a newspaper? .
"Read out the contents ,Mr black". And alphard just did that.
The Ministry strikes at the blacks , yet again!! By Rita skeeter.
In the aftermath of the attempted robbery at gringotts, respected minister of magic mr fudge personally oversaw the investigation and gave the order to raid the cursed place of house of black.
"They were the most prominent supporters of the dark lord, after their master died by the boy who lived, they resorted to robbery to cause unrest in the wizarding world" minister fudge reportedly said.
Collaborating with Gringotts, the ministry seized the accounts of reportedly endless vaults of the black ….."Those galleons are paid with blood, " Lucius Malfoy said in one of the interviews.
"My own wife is a half black and she often tells me the unnamed dark magic they favoured in their cursed place and with my son starting Hogwarts this year with the last black i have high cause to worry" Lucius said in our prime time with malfoys. turn to pg no 17 for full interview.
"The blacks are the scums of the wizarding world" the lord of greengrass estate declared when he was probed by the daily Prophet's.
"Remove the boy from Hogwarts, he got Sirius black blood running within him". Lord Bullstorode declared loudly while swinging his ale in the diagon alley.
Reeta skeeter …..
Senior reporter to daily prophet.
"What the?" Alphard looked towards Dumbledore and he gazed at the kid with pitying eyes.
"They took away everything " I will not cry! Never! He gulped down a lump in his throat.
"I am sorry mr black but i cannot help you in this" Dumbledore
