Auror's curse

SUMMARY

Light is starting his final year at Hogwarts and his goal is clear: He will become an Auror, even when his own physiology and conviction of the Wizarding World is playing against it. But his goal is suddenly getting blurry, when a new professor of DADA arrives and catches Light's attention in every possible way.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hey guys… so I had this idea in my head for a few months now and I was resisting to start writing because I didn't want to get distracted from my Demons story but… here I am…. Writing it anyway. :D

This is gonna be a combination of Hogwarts AU with Omegaverse AU which might turn out… completely wrong, or totally great. :D :D :D Yeah, I have no idea what I am doing because I never read Harry Potter but… this is an AU right? :D :D :D

I would like to dedicate this story to my two amazing supporters and lawlight writers E_Leonora and Totoroto! Because I know you two are "bottomLighters" and I had a feeling like you might like some elements of this story! Love you two!

Enjoy guys, and let me know what you think!

CHAPTER 1 - WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

Light Yagami had his life sorted.

He was a son of a venerable chief of the Investigation department at the Department of Law reinforcements (Ministry of Magic), he was a captain of a quidditch team, a prefect of Ravenclaw house, a star student and probably soon… the first ever omega to become... an Auror.

How did that happen? In the Wizarding world where omegas were still mostly kept at home as fragile flowers?

Simply:

Light Yagami never gave up.

He had a dream of becoming an Auror since he was a child. His father was working with them on many cases and Light grew up on the stories about them. The best wizards and witches who helped to clear the world from dark magic. He wanted to be one of them and he focused all his hard work around this goal. He was practicing advanced magic at a young age, he studied and he had the best scores at every subject. His future seemed to be painted in colors but then… at age of 13, he presented as…. an omega.

As Light was struggling through his first heat, he thought his whole life fell into million pieces. As an omega he had no chance to become an Auror. Maybe an assistant at his father's office if he was extremely lucky but nothing more. There was no future ahead of him. He would be married off as soon as he finishes the school and he would bear children for some stupid, arogant alpha.

But Light….he was not the one to give up easily. As soon as the hell of his first heat was over he started thinking about his options. If his heat happened at home, he would probably try to keep it all a secret and master the supprestant magic so no one would ever know he is an omega but… His first heat came while he was at school. So everyone knew about it within hours.

He needed a different plan. But back then, he still didn't know what it should be. So he gritted his teeth, came back to his classes and continued working as if nothing changed. But the truth was: his classmates didn't see him with the same eyes anymore. And even his teachers were looking at him with the sight saying: "What an amazing student! Pity he is an omega!"

Light could stand it… it simply wasn't fair.

Luckily, the answer to his problem came very soon as he learnt about the existence of the Movement for equal opportunities for Omegas at Wizarding World. So he joined in and quickly became popular through the movement. He made many public speachess and organized events, where he and other Omegas were showing the Wizarding World they are as capable of demanding work as anyone else.

Within 3 years he managed to get his position at school back, he was respected between students and teachers and his school score was so high that the ministry of magic simply couldn't ignore him. He was already too well known in public and wasting a boy with such a potential into marriage could angry the voters.

So before the start of his 7th year at Hogwarts he got an official invitation to join the Auror's office as an intern, as soon as he finished Hogwarts. There were only 3 conditions:

His school score will remain top and he will pass all the exams needed.

He will be already betrothed to alpha or beta by that time.

His mate will agree with his working position and will also work at Department of Law reinforcements.

When the latter came, Light almost destroyed his own room. He started throwing things against the wall and screaming. It was clear that the Ministry of magic didn't want to hear any ideas of their movement and they only made this to have him under surveillance. And possibly, get rid of him as soon as he makes a mistake.

But…

Light was not the one to make mistakes.

They want to play games with me? Fine… I can play!

He had one year ahead. He knew he would manage the school without greater effort. In the meanwhile he will find a damn alpha or beta who will be crazy enough for him to let him do his career. That shouldn't be hard. He already had 2 or 3 candidates in his mind. And then… he will become a damn Auror! Nothing will change that! No ministry of magic, no mate and definitely not his own damn physiology!

Light had a week before the school would start again. He already got his letter with a list of things he needed for his final year so he spent the morning in Diagon Alley, buying things and wandering around. At noon he met with his father at Leaky Cauldron and they had lunch together. But the atmosphere was strange… Soichiro was deep in thoughts and so was Light. Until Soichiro finally let out what was bothering him:

"So Light… Did you get the letter from the ministry?" Soichiro asked, with a troubled voice.

Light lifted his eyes from his plate: "Yes father, I did."

"And what do you think of it?"

Light frowned: "You were aware that they are going to make an offer like that?"

"Yes, in fact, they wanted to know my opinion…" Soichiro told him and he just dug through his food on the plate with a fork.

"And what did you tell them?" Light asked, impatiently.

Soichiro let out a long sigh: "That I don't agree to marry you off to someone just so you can work as an auror. It is not right."

Light smiled at him. His father was so supportive of him all these years and made everything he could to help his son with his delicate situation: "Thank you dad. But the world can't be changed in a day. This is… At least something."

Soichiro frowned: "So you agree with the conditions?"

Light shrugged: "Yes… I agree. I am not happy about it but it can be arranged like this."

Soichiro shook his head and leaned over the table, closer to his son: "Light.. You are such a good boy. You don't deserve this kind of treatment. You deserve to become an Auror… And then someday find a mate you will love and respect."

Soichiro was really deeply bewildered by the situation. His son was working so hard and he did everything right. He was playing by the rules all these years. Many wizards in his situation would turn to dark magic to change their situations but not Light. The boy was trying to fight the odds, achieve his goals and help the others on the way. Their movement was helping many omegas to realize their virtues and they were opening eyes to the old school Wizarding World. Hell even muggles were more advanced in this topic then Wizards were.

"Thank you dad, but you know I am not romantic. I'll try to find someone I can respect and who will respect me. That should be enough."

Soichiro nodded: "You are right… love can be unstable at your age but if you find someone you can rely on, a much deeper love can be born later. The one full of respect and understanding."

Light nodded and the heavy silence spreaded between them. Light knew what his father was hitting at. Soichiro Yagami was betrothed to some witch when he was very young but she turned to dark magic and died. Later on, his job post needed him to be married so he married for political reasons. Not for love. His wife, Sachiko was a muggle. But very clever and loving. They did not love each other when Light was born… But when Sayu came to the world, it was out of pure love already. Sometimes he envied her and wondered if her bubbly personality had something to do with it. He was born because of politics and he always felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

Light was torn from his thoughts when his father spoke again: "Anyway, you might gain a powerful ally at school this year."

Light raised an eyebrow: "Who do you mean?"

Soichiro leaned closer again and started whispering: "I shouldn't be telling you this… It's not official information yet but… One member of Auror's office will be coming to teach DADA to Hogwards this year."

Light gasped for air: "Are you joking? An actual Auror teaching at Hogwarts?!"

"Shh… Lower your voice! You can't tell anyone yet. He did not sign the contract because he was not very happy about it but… He was wounded a few months ago and he still needs time to heal. So he will have to take the job to stay part of Auror's office."

Light's mind was running. An actual Auror teaching at Hogwarts! That was a dream come true! Their teachers of DADA were changing every year and only a few of them were worthy of a mention. Most of the time it was Light who helped his classmates with defensive magic but… and actual Auror in the school might change that. He might learn something from them.

"Who is it dad?" Light asked impatiently.

"L Lawliet." Soichiro whispered.

"Lawliet?!" Light almost yelled in shock and a few heads in the inn turned to him. He quickly realized his mistake and leaned closer to his father who was giving him a scolding look: "THE Lawliet?! The one who filled half of the Azkaban by himself in the last 7 years?!"

Soichiro nodded and adjusted his glasses on his nose: "Yes, the one and only… and you know I worked with him several times. I know he is a supporter of omegan rights! He might be a great ally to you!"

Light was so surprised and filled with joy that his face was shining like a sun: "Dad that's amazing! You always spoke of him so highly! It will be an honor to learn from him! But what happened to him?"

Soichiro shrugged: "I don't know boy… no one is allowed to talk about it in the Auror's office so nothing valuable got to us but… there are rumors that some of his contacts betrayed him. But don't tell anyone you know about this Light… These are secret information and not even oficial ones."

Light nodded: "Ofcourse father, I won't."

The two men fell silent again and finished their meals. But Light couldn't help but smile into his plate. He thought he would die in happiness. The ministry was against him but… L Lawliet was a legend. And the ministry respected him. If he gets Lawliet on his side he might win not only one battle. But the whole war. And if he is really as good as they say, he might also learn something valuable from him. All he needed to do was to get to him, make an impression and if possible… Befriend him. But that would be an extremely happy ending scenario. Light will be happy with Lawliet's affection at the start. And he knew he was able to gain it. He was able to do so with every teacher.

What could go wrong? He asked himself.

"AAAAAaaaaaa!" L screamed in pain.

Watari was trying another of his potions on his wounded leg but the result was pain, much worse than before. L felt tears in corners of his eyes and squeezed harder on the handle of his chair. It was almost half a year from his injury and the damn leg was not getting better. Well it was, he was finally able to walk without a walking stick, but he was constantly in pain.

But still better my leg, then my mind. He thought.

The thing is… he was tortured… by Cruciatus curse. It was long and painful and he almost lost his mind but luckily, he had a coping mechanism. Watari invented a spell that was able to shield his mind in the worst moments and sent the dark energy elsewhere. That meant, that in the moment when L almost succumbed to the torture, the offensive spell activated and the pain from his mind was redirected to his body. Precisely: his right leg. That was how he was able to cope with the curse a little longer, before Watari and Naomi found him and saved him.

But his leg got it pretty bad. He needed months just to be able to stand on it again and no potion Watari came with was making the pain better. His mind… his mind was in a similar state. But he was strong enough to cope with it. A few nightmares were nothing to him but the leg… the damn leg was making things harder. Especially now, when the headmaster of Auror's office was pushing him to step down from his post until he fully recovers.

"I think the last potion was a little better Watari, this one is a pure hell." he gritted through his teeth.

Watari nodded: "This one is much stronger my boy. I know it hurts now but it could bring a great relief in a few hours and it would last longer."

"Doesn't sound like you are really sure about it." L hissed and gave him a sharp look.

Watari was looking at him through his glasses. The boy was pissed and in pain. But there was nothing Watari could do about it: "It is an experiment L. You can never be sure with the result."

"Hmmm…" L hissed as Watari was treating the wound with the potion.

"If it's gonna work out, you could be without any other medications for a week or longer. Long enough to be able to teach without raising a suspicion." Watari told him and finally moved away from the wound. L felt relief as the damn potion finally stopped flowing to his leg.

"Yeah about that… Watari… I still don't think it is a good idea."

Watari frowned: "You already said yes to Roger."

"I know but… teaching kids and teenagers? You know how I can get when someone pisses me off…" L said with a bored voice but Watari knew he was just playing cool. Inside, L was deeply bewildered by the whole idea.

"It might finally teach you patience L… and you are not even 25 yet! You are not that far from their age."

L chuckled: "But I am pretty far from their mind set."

"Don't be arrogant L!" Watari snapped at him.

L threw his hands in the air: "Seriously Watari, this is a waste of my time!"

"Oh you really are ungrateful L… this is a great opportunity for you for many reasons!"

L rolled his eyes. He of course knew all the reasons but somehow, he felt like he needed to hear them again. Just to convince himself: "Care to remind me?"

Watari lifted his eyebrow and started pacing around the room: "I don't think you need it... but if you feel like being scolded like a teenager again, be my guest:

1. It's a great opportunity to clear your name in the public. Because you made enough harsh steps in your investigations in the past few years. The position of a teacher might help you to better your image. The teacher must have a certain stability which… you have but you are not using it often!

2. You will have the opportunity to influence the next generations of wizards and witches and perhaps even shape them to your own image which might be… disturbing but not entirely wrong.

3. You will have a time to investigate your theory that Kira has his hands even between students at Hogwarts.

4. You will have time to heal.

5. And the final… you will get to keep your Auror's status! And that's what all this is about in the first place!"

L leaned his back against his chair and closed his eyes: "Allright… for the first point… I don't care what the public thinks of me… the second… it's actually funny because you just said my methods are dangerous and are giving me a bad name... but you want me to shape the next generation to be like me… which is... Contradiction in terms but whatever… the third… I think it is a work for Yagami's office department, not for me…. and the fourth and fifth point… yeah, I find these reasons valid."

Watari was looking at the boy… no man in... the chair. He looked so relaxed, talking with his eyes closed and yet…. he knew L was in pain. And the longer he was home, out of the investigation, the harder it was to talk to him. He was getting sarcastic and overly egoistic: "Sometimes my boy, I really wish you were a beta… you were much easier to cope with before you presented."

L opened his eyes and his chin fell down. Most of the time he wasn't acting much on his gender predispositions but anytime he did, it was mostly without even realizing it. And he hated it. Watari knew it… and he was using it against him. Anytime Watari wanted him to do something he wasn't happy about, he played it on his dark alpha side. Funny thing was, that L was still falling for it, even when he knew exactly what Watari was doing.

"Alright…" L said and felt pissed off: "Alright I will do it. I will teach DADA at Hogwarts, I will silently and patiently investigate the Kira case and I will let Naomi take over the main part in between… but you can't expect me to become a lovey-dovey teacher! If I will teach, I will do it my way…"

Watari smirked and handed him strawberry cake: "I wouldn't expect anything else L…"

L took it from him and cut it with his desert fork… but before he could taste it he said: "Anyway… it's just Hogwarts right? What could go wrong?"

Please let me know what yout think about this idea... do you think its worthy more chapters?
PS: Ill be very slow on updates with this one. My Demons story is still project no. 01!
