#PARSELTONGUE#
A week passed rather quickly for Corvus with classes, homework and exploring the castle. The incident with the headmaster was quickly forgotten, however it took a foot long letter by Corvus, explaining why Sirius should not come in castle and murder the headmaster in cold blood.
Corvus had become the star pupil of every professor. Many even claimed that they had not seen such talent since Tom Riddle himself. He would raise his hand on every questions, was very polite and humble. His wand movements and magic was perfect and even earned more than 100 points in his first week itself.
McGonagall and Filtwick were in love with him. McGonagall saw her favourite students in him and filtwick… well he adored Corvus for levitating him in the class. On the first class, students had to levitate a feather, but Corvus had other thoughts, when Filtwick was explaining some other students, Corvus concentrated his magic on Filtwick and raised him in the air. The professor was so ecstatic at show of such perfection in the magic, that he awarded 30 points to Slytherin.
The only teacher that had some issues with Corvus was head of his house – Professor Snape. The man could never look past James Potter and Sirius Black. He would always, sneer at him and gave disgusted looks. The whole week Snape asked difficult question in hope to embarrass him, but Corvus just gave polite respectful smile and answered perfectly. With each answer, only one thought rang in his mind 'LILY'.
Dumbledore on the other hand was restless. He had managed to make a very bad impression on Corvus, and it was an open secret that Corvus hated his guts. He had to get him under his thumb. He made several advances, but failed each time, as Corvus just ignored him or ended the conversation as soon as possible.
Back to the present time, It was the Sunday morning, and the Gryffindors and Slytherins had their quidditch lessons. They were on the ground waiting for Madam Hooch, when three boys approached Corvus. The boy in the middle stepped forward and said "Black, You should join us" he then looked at other Slytherins with a sneer and continued "You don't want to mingle with wrong sorts, You see some wizards are better than the others".
Corvus looked up to see the source of the voice, and saw a red haired boy with freckles on his face. He remembered him as Weasley. He looked behind him, and was surprised to see that his fat cousin wasn't there. He focused his attention back to the boy in front of him and spoke in a calm voice "Oh thank you for your thoughtfulness, but I am unable to see better wizards than these over here" he gestured at Slytherins "When you find them, please inform me. I would love to be their acquaintance." These earned some snickers around the Slytherins. Corvus watched in amusement as, the weasley's ears became redder than his hair.
"You are a Gryffindor, Black. You should be with us, not some slimy snakes. your parents would be ashamed of you." yelled Weasley. This statement offended every Slytherin. Before Corvus could retort, Draco spoke "Oh, The poor Weasley thinks he is better than us! Listen here Weasel; you should not go around saying those words about your betters."
"Malfoy" spat Ronald "you think you are my better, just because your father is in ministry. I am better than you in every possible thing you can imagine".
Before Draco could respond, Corvus spoke "Okay Weasley, let's have a simple race between you and Draco, if you win, I will never talk to any of the Slytherins and even request resorting. But if you lose, You have to announce that Draco is your better and you are nothing but dirt in the Great hall tonight at dinner."
Ronald brightened up at the idea "Deal" he exclaimed, "Just keep your end of the deal, When I wipe the floor with Malfoy" he ended with a sneer.
"Alright Weasley, first one to complete a lap around Hogwarts is the winner" said Corvus, and both the participants nodded. He then moved towards Draco and put an arm around him and whispered in his ear "Don't fly".
"I can defeat that runt easily Cory"
"I know you can, but Madam Hooch will be here any minute, I just saw her at second floor balcony" ended Corvus with a smirk.
Draco nodded and gave a smirk of his own and went to the starting line, where Ronald was already there. Draco placed himself on his broom and looked on his left. "You won't win" said Ronald "We shall see" spat Draco.
"On Your Mark"
"Get Set"
"Go"
Ronald immediately kicked hard on the ground and rose up with full speed, He was just 30 feet up, when a loud voice echoed "Mr. Weasely, Get down here RIGHT NOW!"
Ron immediately turned and saw angry Hooch tapping her foot, and Draco standing, holding a broom between his legs. He gulped and slowly came down. As soon as his foot was on the Ground Hooch marched up to him and said "MR. WEASELEY WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? WHEN CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN THAT NO STUDENT SHOULD FLY TILL I COME. 30 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR AND YOU ARE SUSPENDED FROM QUIDDITCH FOR 2 MONTHS."
"Malfoy and Black challenged me for a race, why are they not getting any points removed or getting suspended" asked an agitated Ron. Hooch turned to see two boys standing there with wide smiles, and Draco seems ready for flying "Is this true Mr. Malfoy?" asked Hooch.
Before Draco could reply, Corvus said "Yes ma'am, but we never said we had to fly, we challenged him in shadow Quidditch, he didn't listen to any rules, and came to conclusion and flew." ended Corvus with an innocent smile. "Shadow quiditch?" asked Hooch. "Ma'am its a warm up exercise our grandfather showed, in which we run holding the broom."
Hooch's eye twitches, and she sighed, the two boys were Slytherin through and through. They had not broken a single rule and so they couldn't be punished and had successfully framed the Weasley. Hooch nodded and went back to her lesson. Everyone just looked dumbfounded, Slytherins were snickering and Gryffindors were glaring at them. The lesson ended merrily with no more problems, Weasley was sent back to his Common Room much to boy's disappointment. After 2 hours of flying, the rest of the day was free for students. The Slytherin first years decided to head to library to finish their homework, Corvus just had the DADA essay, which he finished in an hour and went back to his Dormitory. On his way he saw Snape's cabin and decided to pay a visit.
Potion was his favourite subject, but Snape was just becoming impossible, he had to do something about it. He Knocked on his door and after a sound of 'come in', he opened the door and moved in. He looked around, it was a small room with many cabinets of potions and ingredients. The papers and parchments were neatly arranged and the room was spotless. He moved up to the table where, Snape was busy correcting essays. "Good Evening Professor". Snape looked up and and sneered. "What do you want Black, Can't you see I am busy, I have no time for your petty things. This may be good, or you will find yourself cleaning Cauldrons for the whole month."
Corvus frowned, and for a moment was scared. He gulped and thought 'Now is my chance' and took a deep breath and said "Sir, I have a request for you, Can you take me as an apprentice?" From all the possibilities that came in Snape's mind, this one was far away from them. He stared at Corvus for a whole minute and asked "Why?"
"Sir, I just love potions and am good in it. My grandmother is a potions master, and taught me since I was 6. I have always found it interesting and I am also skilled in it, as my grandmother says. My dream is to become a Potion Master myself, after my quidditch career, if there will be any." Ended corvus with a small smile.
Snape just stared him, his mind was racing a mile per second, He turned on his legimency to check any deceptions and found none. After a minute he asked "Why me, surely your Grandmother is an admirable Potion Master".
Corvus grinned, those was first words, that Snape didn't say without a sneer. He replied calmly "That she is Professor, but who is better than 5 times winner of best potioneer award. I know I will achieve my dream under your tutelage."
Snape was left speechless, if this was a prank, then he would surely make his life a living hell, Slytherin or not. Not even Merlin could save Corvus Black. But the sincerity in those emrald green eyes was so… wait Emrald Green eyes? Lily's eyes? Snape stared into nothingness as all those memories came in front of his eyes, how he met her, how they studied together, how they talked and played together…and how he called her MUDBLOOD. 'LILY' was the only thought that came in his mind, 'Maybe this way, I can apologize' He then looked directly in Corvus' eyes and said "Very well Mr. Black, You can come at 9 in the night for your studies. Remember this, if you make one mistake, then this door will be forever be closed for you."
Corvus nodded and gave a huge smile and turned, he then remembered one thing again he turned and said "Professor, one more thing, My father told me about how they treated you when they were in the school" he stopped for a second when he saw anger flushing in Snapes' eyes. He then bowed and continued "and I would like to apologize on behalf of both of my father and my godfather. How they treated you wasn't right". With that he turned back and started walking to the door, when he reached the door he heard "Don't worry Mr. Black, I will not show any ill will towards you for your father's doing. And you would also like to ask Professor Filtwick also for apprenticeship, only Merlin knows what he can do with the stick of his." Corvus nodded and gave a big smile. He opened the door, and was about to leave when he heard "Mr. Black" he turned and was shocked to see Snape's lips pressed in a thin line, he thought 'that must be the closest thing to smile in case of Snape'. "yes Professor?" He asked obediently "You have your mother's eyes".
(TIME SKIP: ROUGHLY ONE MONTH LATER)
Everybody had noticed a sudden change in their potion master's attitude towards Corvus Black. No longer were open insults, taunts or sneering. In fact, he had become star pupil of the potion's master. After 2 weeks, the news about Snape's new apprentice was leaked somehow, and every living soul in the castle knew that apocalypse was near.
Snape had never taken an apprentice, Slytherin or not. As promised, Snape was a slave driver. He gave extra assignments to Corvus and made him brew potions that were not part of the Syllabus. Corvus was also considered as the only student in the history of Hogwarts to receive a praise from Snape… Well if you consider "Satisfactory" or "acceptable" as praises.
The students and faculty alike got another shock when Filtwick accepted Corvus as his apprentice. Apparently, he loved how Corvus' mind worked and how wicked things he could do with his wand. The professors had worked a time table convenient for both of them and Corvus, after all he needed break and there was Quidditch practice. Each professor had decided to have 3 classes in alternate week after the dinner.
Corvus was also the star pupil of every other teacher, well except Binns, he would just do his homework and never pay attention to the poor ghost...well who did? Every teacher just sang the praises of the boy. Only one person was worried and that was the Headmaster. Corvus reminded him too much of Tom Riddle, the only difference was his attitude towards others. He had friends in every house, except the Gryffindors, well that was expected, as every Gryffindor saw him as a traitor.
Speaking of friends, Corvus had gotten quite close to the third year trio of hufflepuff, he would at least share one meal on the hufflepuff table interacting with the girls. Brittany Daggers had gotten very close to him. many times they were seen roaming in the corridor or just taking a stroll around the lake. To say it was like a dream come true for Brittany. She had become one of the most popular students in the school. She loved the attention and popularity, but it saddened her, as she knew Corvus was not serious for her.
One evening, Corvus and Brittany were just taking a stroll around castle before dinner. They decided to go to astronomy tower, as it was quite pleasantly cool day. They reached the top of the tower and sat staring in the nothingness. A cool breeze blew sending small shiver in their bodies. They looked at each other, and slowly started moving closer. They could fell each other's hot breath on their faces. Corvus, then moved a little more and slowly brushed his lips over hers. Slowly Brittany also responded , and they were in for a passionate kiss.
Before thing could heat up more, Corvus pulled himself and gave a heartwarming smile "As much as I would love to continue, we need to go to the Great Hall or else professors would send a search party for us". Brittany pouted and huffed. Corvus chuckled a bit and they got up. With last one peck they went back to the Great Hall, with their hands entangled and Brittany leaning on his shoulder. They reached the hall, and as soon as they entered in, there was an absolute silence. Corvus sighed and separated himself from Brittany, he gave a small smile and a flying kiss and moved towards his seats. He saw all his male friends grinning and giving thumbs up. He rolled his eyes and sat between Daphne and Tracey. He looked around to see many giving him death glares and surprised looks but it was nothing compared to the evil death glares that were been sent to the poor blond girl.
"So Cory what happened between you two?" asked Draco with a grin and mischievous glint in his eyes.
Corvus rolled his eyes and said "Nothing Draco"
"Then why is there small amount of lipstick on your upper lip?" smirked Draco.
Corvus subconsciously wiped his upper lip and that was all the conformation that Draco needed. Corvus mentally cursed himself for falling in such a lame trap. He looked around and saw every Slytherin Grinning like a mad man.
"This Calls for Celebration!" exclaimed Marcus who like every Slytherin saw the scene.
"Yes everyone raise their goblets" Ordered Roger, and every Slytherin raised their glasses. "TO CORVUS BLACK, FOR BECOMING A MAN" exclaimed Marcus a little loudly which earned attention of all the students. Every Slytherin, few Ravens and even a few Hufflepuff raised their glasses and chorused together "TO BlACK".
The teachers watched in amusement, as The star student was being harassed by his fellow peers. After a lot of teasing and the dinner, Corvus went to Snape's office for his lessons but not before slipping a small note in Brittany's hand.
Meet me tomorrow on the quidditch pitch, at 6 P.M.
Love
Corvus
"Ah… Mr. Black, you have been the talk of the dinner" said Snape with a hint of amusement in his voice as he saw his apprentice coming inside his office.
"Uh…Sorry about that Professor" said Corvus with a sheepish grin.
"Never mind, today we will learn about some rarer ingredients and how to use them…"
Next day, Two figures could be seen talking and walking back to the castle from the quidditch pitch. One of them was head of the Slytherin house while other was head of the Gryffindor house. "you seem to have grown affectionate towards the boy, I am glad that you have looked past your petty school rivalry" Said professor McGonagall.
"I still hate them, Black has shown talent in potions, that's why I have accepted him as my apprentice but one mistake and he would be begging for mercy" said snape with a scowl on his face. McGonagall sighed at her colleague's antics. They were moving near the Broom Closet when they heard some sounds coming from inside. They knew what was up and immediately opened the door to the closet and were shocked to see, Corvus Black laying on Brittany Daggers on one bench heavily snogging.
" , WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE" shouted Professor Mconagall. Both the students jumped at the voice and started adjusting their robes with their heads bowed in shame.
"We are sorry profess.." Corvus was interrupted by an angry McGonagall.
"Sorry? Such degrading and inappropriate behavior is not tolerated in this school, Black" spat Snape. "10 points from each of you and 2 months detention Black" continued Snape.
"Sir, I am not going to lie to you by saying i was giving a C.P.R or something like, a peanut was stuck in her throat and i was removing it. I was just bonding with students from other houses, but things got a little heated up" Said Corvus with a low weak voice. He was looking slightly afraid and ashamed of himself. McGonagall was shocked to hear such punishment from Severus, it was a common mistake that every teenager do and only a week worth of detention is given. 'So he is taking his school rivalry with James on poor Corvus' thought McGonagall.
"What do you mean Mr. Black" asked McGonagall in a very sweet motherly voice. Everyone was shocked at this but hid it well.
Corvus was grinning madly inside, he looked up and said "Professor, as you said before we were sorted that, our house is our family and Slytherin house is always looked upon, because The Dark Lord was in this house. Everyone in our house is openly hated and considered evil. I wanted to change that, as you have seen I have many friends in other houses. I was just chilling around but things got out of hand, I know what we did is wrong and inappropriate." Corvus said in a very weak voice, it looked like he was about to cry.
Snape snorted at the small speech but was applauding inside, and was met with a dangerous glare of McGonagall. "Now now Severus, it's not fair to give such detention, Mr. Black's intentions were admirable although what he did was wrong and clearly he regrets it. So Mr. Black you will have a week worth of detention and 20 points for inter-house co-operation, just keep in mind this dosen't happen again."
It took every bit of self control on Corvus' and Snape's behave for not laughing outright. Corvus had done a phenomenal job, and had earned 10 points for snogging. He immediately sobered up and gave a huge grateful smile and said "Thank you Professor McGonagall, and will my f-father be m-made a-aware of this s-situation" stuttered fearfully.
McGonagall was confused, why would he be afraid of Sirius so much, then it clicked her, Corvus' other family would kill Corvus for slandering the name of Black. Maybe Sirius is also changed and is following his family's believes… "No Mr." McGonagall was interrupted by Snape "Yes Black, it seems sending a letter from school will be better than giving you detention. As your head of house I will be making sure your family receives the letter, maybe then you would understand your mistake. Now off you go"
The professors watched as students ran back to their dormitories, both having different thoughts. McGonagall was thinking about childhood rivalry and grudges while Snape was thinking 'why would he want to send that letter.
His doubts were cleared next day at the breakfast. All the teachers and some students, noticed that Black was not eating and wasn't talking to anyone, he just sat in one corner staring at his plate and playing with a egg. He looked very nervous as he once in a while stared at high windows. McGonagall knew what was wrong, Corvus was nervously waiting for the owls, and she knew Snape must have sent an owl. Even when Draco tried to talk he just shrugged and just spoke one or two words. She was really worried for him.
After 15 minutes when all the students were seated, owls came, carrying letters or newspapers. McGonagall saw as a large black eagle owl, glided down to Slytherin table hooting loudly. It reached the end of the table and s in stopped front of Corvus. He untied the red envelope from the owl, and watched as the bird stole 3 slice of bacon from Draco's plate and flew back. Many were surprised to see the retreating form of the owl as they saw Black Family logo on it. Those who noticed it turned to look at Crovus. He touched the envelope, and the Envelope levitated in the air, he jumped back realizing it was a howler.
"Everyone look, Black's got a howler!"
"What did he do"
"It must be something big, to get a howler this early"
"The idiot must have burned his dormitory"
Corvus heard the mutterings, the last remark came from the Weasley in his year, he was about to retort when, the Howler spoke…or rather screamed.
"CORVUS SIRIUS BLACK" came the voice of a male. Many recognized it as voice of current Lord Black. But everybody was shocked at the tone. Everyone who had met Corvus' father knew that he never spoke harshly to his son, but the tone used simply meant that whatever Corvus did, he was in real Gryffindor and some hufflepuff boys were grinning madly.
"JUST ONE MONTH IN SCHOOL AND WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED A COMPLAINT! WE NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM YOU. JUST ONE MONTH IN SCHOOL AND ALREADY CAUGHT KISSING IN THE BROOM CLOSET." At this, everyone had their eyes widened, those who were grinning, were now gaping like a fish. One thought rang in every mind 'Lucky Bastard'. People looked at the third year hufflepuff who was red in embarrassment and staring at her plate. Many girls had one thought 'That hussy stole his first kiss' and were glaring holes in her.
"WE NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM YOU. WE-WE ARE SO…SO PROUD" many students fell from the chair, many had their jaws on the floor. Nobody was expecting this, the tone that was first used, simply meant that Corvus was in deep trouble but now the tone became somewhat excited and…proud. Everyone were pinching themselves, well except Corvus and Draco who was Grinning like mad man. On the teacher's table, everyone had their mouth wide open. McGonagall was staring in disbelief. The boy had pranked her. Not even the Marauders were able to do it.
"YOU HAVE BROKEN GRANDFATHER'S RECORD BY A WHOLE MONTH. IT TOOK ME FOUR MONTHS, AND HERE YOU ARE, JOB COMPLETED IN JUST A MONTH. YOU MY SON ARE A TRUE BLACK. BOTH FATHER AND GRANDFATHER ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU. CONGRATULATIONS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK" 'what kind of a family is this' were the thoughts of everyone in the hall, well except some teachers who knew the Black family. The howler then turned to the teacher's table and continued "PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL, LOOK OUT FOR HIM. HE IS BETTER THAN US FOUR COMBINED". With that the howler was torn in shreds and a small piece of paper fell in his hand.
Pup,
The howler was only to alert the teachers and other girls Best of luck from now on. Lets see how would you deal when the odds are against you.
Love
Dad
Corvus crushed the letter in his hands and looked up, to see everyone staring at him with wide eyes and open mouths. He looked up to the teacher's table and saw horrified looks on their faces. Apparently the last warning was clear to them. Corvus Black was a master prankster. If the best prankster in the history of Hogwarts claimed him to be better than his whole gang than he could not be taken lightly. Corvus turned and sighed and exclaimed loudly "well that went well" and was then bombarded with questions from his housemates.
The next month went without much disturbance. Another word – playboy was added in Corvus' general profile. Contrary to Sirius' believes, the howler didn't make his job hard, infact it made him more popular. Many girls were now clinging to him. Every girl thought that they had a chance with him.
Corvus still excelled in his classes but wasn't able to pull a prank, as the teachers were very cautious of him. Surprisingly McGonagall held no ill will towards him, instead warmed up more to him. He reminded her of James and Sirius. Instead of being angry, the prank had brought a rare smile on her face. She even laughed at the thought of being tricked. Students now saw him with a newfound respect as the word got out, that he was awarded 10 points for snogging.
Aside from his regular and extra classes, Marcus drove the Slytherin teams till they couldn't move. He wanted to continue the winning streak, and this time without losing a single match.
Soon Halloween came, but Corvus was nowhere to be found. While the students were enjoying the Halloween feast, Corvus was sitting on top of astronomy tower with Sythia on his lap. Halloweens were never happy for Corvus, he didn't know why, but he always had that sick feeling in his stomach and his mood was always bad. Maybe it was because of how his father and godfather acted on this day. Sirius and Remus always were miserable on Halloweens and Corvus couldn't see them like this. After learning that his parents were killed on this day he also spent his day mourning.
After an hour Corvus decide to head towards his Dormitory, when he was passing the second floor girl's bathroom, he heard a loud scream, he rushed in, and was shocked to see a large mountain troll destroying one of the toilet. He saw a bushy haired girl screaming in the pile of woods, he formulated a plan in his mind. He decide to use a hex or curse but the skin was very hard. Then it clicked, he pulled out his wand and aimed at the mirror in front of the troll and shouted "BOMBARDA" the glass shattered and chunks of glasses fell on the troll, a large piece of glass, made a small cut below its knee. Corvus noticed it and looked up to see The troll swinging a its club at him, he rolled left side and fired a 'LACERO' at the small cut, as soon as the curse hit the troll, it grunted in pain as black colored blood flowed from the wound.
The troll then moved swung its hand to hit Corvus, but at the last movement he jumped back and landed on a pile of wood. Unfortunately his hand landed on a sharp wooden flank which gave a deep cut on his left biceps. #Go Sssythia, now your fangs can peniterate itsss ssskin# hissed Corvus, as Sythia slithered from his ropes, enlarged itself and pierced the trolls wound by her fangs, releasing large amount of poison. The Troll growled in pain as it turned and got up and started moving towards Corvus to hit him, but the Venom had started its effect, paralyzing the troll. The troll then fell face front and its face just a foot apart from Corvus.
Corvus released the breath he was holding. He had just killed a troll, he watched, as the troll's body twitched and then went limp. He turned to the bushy haired girl who was hinding behing the toilet seat and asked "Are you okay?" the said girl simply nodded as she wiped her tears. Corvus was about to get up when, the professors entered the bathroom with wands in their hands. When they saw a dead troll lying and Corvus sitting in front of it, with holding his hand they let out gasps of surprise. Snape immediately moved in front to check the boy "Mr. Black, what the hell happened here?" Corvus smiled seeing the potion master's worried look. He sighed and said "Sir, I was returning from astronomy tower, when I heard a scream coming from this bathroom, I went in to see a troll destroying that bathroom. I fired a 'Bombarda' at the glass, and a chunk of glass cut the its skin slightly and then I fired a 'Lacero' which made it bleed, then my familiar bit it, and it died of poisoning." Explained Corvus and saw everyone's eyes widening.
Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and asked "And pray tell, Mr. Black, why were you in the Astronomy tower in the first place?" Corvus returned the glare and petted Sythia as she hissed at Dumbledore. "Headmaster, This day is not so merry for my family, maybe you have forgotten, but my parents died on this day. I was not feeling well that's why I went to the astronomy tower as the view is quite beautiful from there" Sneered Corvus in a way that would make Snape proud of him.
Dumbledore realized his mistake. He had yet again hurt the boy's feelings without thinking. He had to amend for his mistakes. The boy should trust him so he spoke "Very well Mr. Black, you have done service to the school and saved a student's life. I guess 100 points" he looked at Corvus to see his glare hardened, he continued "or maybe 150 points should be awarded to Slytherin house." Dumbledore turned around and saw all the heads nodding in agreement. Corvus gave a smirk/smile and said "Thank you Headmaster, I don't think I deserve it much, it was Sythia who did most of the job". Dumbldore's eyes regained its patent twinkle and said "Rubbish boy" he waved and continued "you deserve it, and thanks to you Sythia" he looked towards the snake. "Professor Snape, please take Mr. Black to the infirmary" Snape nodded, and helped his apprentice up. On the way outside he turned to Filtwick and said "Thank you professor for teaching me that curse". Filtwick just nodded happily.
Corvus gave a last respectful nod to Dumbledore and saw his eyes twinkling in delight and then moved towards infirmary. Inside he was laughing, he had learned a way to manipulate the master manipulator…
