Corvus Black woke and rolled over he was still tired but he got up and made sure everything was packed in his multi compartment trunk. He then got dressed in his school robes. Today he was going to Hogwarts. They would apperate right on to the Platform. He untied his curly hair and quickly brushed through it before retieing it with his black ribbon. He spun before his mirror then nodded. He pulled his trunk downstairs and left it by the door. He joined his Mom and cousin Sirius in the Kitchen.

Regulus had vanished shortly after that Halloween night and a day of death had appeared on the tapestry. Walburga and Orion had both died not long after. Sirius was now Lord Black. His Grandfather on the Prince side had passed away only two years ago so his dad was Lord Prince. He didn't have to work but had taken up a teaching position at Hogwarts. They had lived there since he was about 2. His mom would be seeing him off then going to the school to see his dad. Corvus would take the train. Sirius was still an Auror with his buddy James.

"Harry and you are going to have so much fun at Hogwarts." Sirius beamed as they ate . "I wish you two got along. " Corvus gave him a pointed look. "I don't see why you don't well maybe I do. You're too much like your father and Harry is too much like his." Sirius sighed it was his greatest wish his cousin and godson would get along. So far it was in vain. Though he kept trying. "Going to be a Slytherin?" Corvus shrugged, Slytherin or Ravenclaw he wouldn't mind either one."You make it impossible to carry on a conversation, Corvus." Corvus nodded, he hardly ever spoke. "Well, we should get going."


Corvus blinked and looked around the platform when they arrived. People were giving them wary looks. He knew it was because people thought they were from a Dark Family and that both his parents were Death Eaters.

"Jamie!" Sirius called, waving sure enough James Potter came up with his son Harry. Who looked just like him and was just as spoiled, conceited, and big-headed as his father. "Hey, Harry."

"Hello, Uncle Sirius." Harry beamed, "Look at the owl Hagrid sent me!" he showed them a snowy owl. "I named her Hedwig." his eyes strayed to Corvus who as always showed no emotion. " Where is your owl?"

Corvus located his cousin Draco and pointed him out to his mother. She called to her sister and Draco was brought over. Harry looked murderous . He was always trying to get Corvus to focus on him but Corvus always ignored him.

"Hello, Corvus." Draco smiled, Corvus inclined his head. "Lets go find a cabin." Corvus nodded and let his cousin lead him away. His trunk had already been loaded, "I can't wait for this year. Our first year at Hogwarts." He looked in a cabin and nodded, "In here." Corvus entered and sat next to his cousin other people were in the cabin. "Everyone, this is my cousin Corvus Black. Corvus these are my friends, Daphne Greengrass, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Theo Nott, Vincent Crabbe and Greg Goyle. " Draco motioned to each one and Corvus nodded his head, " Corvus doesn't talk much and he doesn't like people touching him who he doesn't know. "

"Ah." Daphne said, with a nod of her own. " That could be seen as rude amongest us Pure-Bloods but then we've all heard of the infamous Corvus Black."

Corvus didn't doubt it. Parkinson, Crabbe and Goyle were Death Eater families like Draco's. Nott, Greengrass and Zabini on the other hand were Neutral. He was infamous because his parents remained Neutral when everyone thought them Dark and because of his intelligence. He'd written his first book when he was 6 it had been about Potions and even his father had been amazed. Corvus had been able to read since he was 2 and read everything. He wanted to know everything. After his first book he wrote more and more about other subjects as well he'd even began an adventure novel which was a great seller. He used places he'd seen before. He and his family always traveled a lot during the holidays. He'd been all over the world.

"Can I have your autograph?" Pansy finally gushed, holding out a book. "It's just I love this book. I love the whole series of course but this one is my favorite. " she looked breathless for a moment. "It's the one all about Spain. I've asked my parents to take me for holiday this year."

Corvus signed the book and handed it back. He'd liked Spain very much himself and had taken great pleasure in detailing everything he'd seen.

"So ..." Pansy shifted around. " Leo is going to be going to his first year of school? " she wondered, Leo Blackwell was his main character in his book. "Has his family decided which magical school he's going too? Oh, I bet it's that nice one they checked out in the Caribbean. They wouldn't send him to Hogwarts would they?"

Yes, Yes, they would. Corvus thought to himself 'as I am sitting right here in front of you. '

"I told you he doesn't talk!" Draco snapped as the train finally began moving. "Don't badger him because you are a fan of his work!"

Pansy looked put out but noted that Corvus pulled out a journal with the Black family crest on it and picked up the quill inside and began writing. In truth this was how he got all his books published. He would write them all in here and then say a spell that would send the completed manuscript from the pages to his editor.


"What I find to be amazing about the books." Blaise said after a long while. "Is the mastering of all the languages. " the others agreed. Corvus sighed to himself he should have expected this after all he was on Witch Weekly's Most Read Book list. He'd received several awards for all of his books but according to the polls his adventure book was by far the most popular among his age group and younger actually it was most popular among all school aged witches and wizards. All of his books had been translated, by himself, and sold in other countries. He was very well known almost as much as Harry Potter. " Can you really speak all of them like Leo?"

Corvus nodded as the door banged open.

"Found you!" Harry Potter beamed he had a red haired boy with him. A Weasley. "Hey, Corvus why are you sitting with these Death Eaters in training? " Harry frowned, " Uncle Sirius will not be pleased. Lets go you can sit with us in our car." Corvus kept writing. "Corvus don't ignore me!" he grabbed Corvus' arm and pulled, "Lets go!"

Corvus jerked away violently and began making noises as he sat where Draco had been against the window. His knees to his chest rocking back and forth rapidly. He began clawing at his head.

"Theo, run to the teachers cabin and get someone quickly!" Draco cried trying to calm his cousin. Theo tore out of the cabin. "It's okay, Corvus. It's okay, Potter's an idiot! He should know you don't like to be touched. I'll send an owl to cousin Sirius right away and tell him how mean his Godson is being to you. Will that make you feel better?"

Corvus just kept making noises and rocking while clawing at his scalp.

"Move aside!" Severus Prince pushed into the cabin. "Corvus, son."

Corvus threw himself on his father and clung.

"Papa!"

"that's right, Corvus." Severus said, calmly lifting him into his arms. "He spend the rest of the ride with me. Who is responsible for this?" Everyone pointed to a shocked Harry Potter who had not fled and his laughing Weasley. "Naturally. "

Severus spun his cloak billowing and made his way back to his cabin. He had picked up the journal and quill as well his son now held it. He couldn't hold it for longer than a minute or a curse would activate because he was not of close Black blood. He entered the teachers cabin and set his son down. He had expected this. He got out a Calming Potion and had the boy drink it. As expected his son fell asleep.
