Corvus woke with a moan and sat up. He pulled the hangings back on his bed and slid out. He looked around all the first year boys were in the same room. They were all stirring. Draco smiled at him when he saw him.

"Cousin, " Corvus looked at him. "The bathroom is through this door here." He pointed to a door. "You go first and I'll keep everyone out. "

Corvus nodded and grabbed his robes and bathroom bag. He quickly did his morning routine then came out it looked as if no one had gone near the bathroom. He went to Draco's full length mirror to check himself over. His robes fit like a glove. His hair was tied back and do to sleeping so much he had no bags under his eyes today. He normally did. He recalled what he had dreamed about while he was out and knew he had to right it down. He went to his trunk and pulled out his accessories. He chose a slim silver necklace with a silver snake on it. The snake had black eyes and was biting it's tail. He nodded and looked at the earrings he had. He chose a pair of onyx earrings and put them in. He then tucked the box away and went back to Draco's mirror he nodded and grabbed his backpack. After making sure his wand was in his holster on his wrist. It was with that he waited until Draco was ready and they headed toward the Great Hall.

"Wow those are amazing earrings!" Pansy ran over, "Uhm...if I promise not to touch you may I look at them?"

Corvus nodded. Older students were watching in fact the whole house was. Pansy got close but as promised did not touch him.

"Wow, they are beautiful ." she backed, off. "Are those Melanite?" Corvus nodded. "Draco, who bought those for Corvus?"

"cousin Sirius." Draco said, "It was for Corvus' second birthday that was when he got his ears pierced. Potter thought it was rather funny that Corvus was a boy and getting his ears pierced. Both of them. "

Corvus rolled his eyes and they began going to the Great Hall again. They saw Harry and Weasley coming down the stairs. Weasley flashed him grin and winked. Corvus frowned at him. The black Gryffindor boy slammed into Corvus as soon as they were in the Hall and Corvus went into a fit. Crabbe and Goyle had the boy hanging from his arm pits between him.

"Someone run down to Professor Snape's and get cousin Bellatrix." Draco yelled, Theo took off again as Severus arrived and scooped his son up. "Thomas bumped in to him on purpose. " Draco told the teachers who had arrived, " Weasley saw Corvus go into a fit when Potter touched him on the train and has been spreading it around the school! He knew this would happen!"

"Indeed he did." Severus drawled. "Weasley was standing there when I was called to the cabin. "

Corvus was suddenly snatched out of Severus' arms. Bella had arrived and was cooing over her child.

"Thomas and Weasley!" Minerva McGonagall scolded, "One month detention! Mr. Black has medical issues that makes it so he does not like being touched! "

The whole hall was listening.

Harry reached over and touched Bella's arm. She looked at him.

"Will Corvus be okay?" Harry asked worriedly. "He can't have a calming drought or he'll go to sleep. I didn't know they were going to do this or I would have stopped them. I'm really sorry."

Bella gave a sharp nod. Corvus was calming.

"He'll be okay. " Bella said, "We've been working with him he only got his Droughts yesterday because it was so stressful. " She finally sat Corvus down after several minuets. "Feeling better, little crow?"

Corvus opened his mouth then closed it. He nodded. Then pointed to Madam Pomfry and motioned her over. He waved her down. He began whispering in her ear.

"Weasley has a broken arm because he stole his brother's broom before school. He didn't tell anyone. He needs help because the cut he has is getting infected. "

Poppy Pomfrey was shocked . The boy stared at her expectantly.

"Mr. Weasley, you are looking pale come with me for a check up." She reached for his arm but Corvus shook his head and she took the other one and pulled him off. "Have you been eating right? Sleeping right? Been doing something you're not supposed to do?"

She kept asking questions while he protested the whole way up the Grand Staircase.

Bella hugged her son proud of him. He always helped people with his gifts.

"Off to breakfast with you, little crow."

Corvus nodded, kissed her cheek and moved closer to the Slytherin's and over to the table. He joined the first years.


"You called Pomfrey over. " Blaise Zabini said, "Do you only see parts of peoples lives when they are hurt?"

Corvus opened his mouth again, then closed it and shook his head.

"Not always." Draco spoke up. " But it's more frequent and it's normally only if it's happened within the last few days. Though from what I hear from my mom his reach is getting stronger." Corvus nodded. "I'm glad you came, Corvus."

Corvus nodded. He had wanted to come but his parents had assured him that if it got too bad that he was free to pull himself out and be home schooled by Bella and private tutors. He would most likely be getting tutors anyway because according to his parents everything they wanted to know wasn't taught at the school. He got his schedule and a pat on his head.

"First up History of Magic. " Draco moaned. "Great, this is a no nonsense class taught by a ghost who only lectures about Goblin Wars. "

Corvus nodded he'd heard that too his dad had said he was to do self-study. He got up and they swarmed but didn't touch him. He inclined his head to them and grabbed the book Pansy was reading. The book was his first of the Leo series and signed it for her before handing it back. She beamed at him eyes shining. She hugged the book to her chest. They had class with the Hufflepuff's.

They all got seats making sure Harry got a seat next to the window so the only one behind him was Theo and Draco beside him. Harry took out the book his father had suggested he start with and set a Directo-Quill to work taking his notes for him. He began reading and doing the questions at the end of each chapter he read through and doing an end of chapter summery for his parents to read and go through when the day was over. Everyone kept glancing at him well the Hufflepuff's kept glancing at him. He just kept working though soon most of the class was fast asleep.
