"You look at them like you can understand their language," she pointed out, joining him beside the albino peacocks in his gardens. He looked a little small and scared out in the fancy manor. All the children had been dismissed to play whilst the grown ups talked (again). "What are their names?"

Lucius had his hands in his pockets, looking at the girl reluctantly. He knew her to be of his age, one of the Black girls – probably the one he was to marry. He looked towards the peacocks, lips pressed tightly. They were his mothers, now his given she had passed away.

It wasn’t that he was scared, he was just… concerned. Nothing good came out of adults talking.

“That one’s Prince,” he said, nodding towards the one preening under the tree. “Then there’s Orchid and Creampuff.”

Divination, Corvus decided, was the worst. While he had no doubt that there were likely people out there with the sight, to him it didn’t seem like something that could be well taught if a student possessed no such gift, like himself. Instead he spent the majority of his time in the class trying to distinguish indistinguishable shapes so he could interpret them, and quite frankly it was a headache.

And now, here the Slytherin was, in one of the armchairs by the fire, poring over the textbook again  and trying to make some sense of the homework, completely oblivious to his surroundings.

"Your name sounds like Rudolph-- it's a popular muggle reindeer. He has a red nose." Andromeda trying to find charming things about her brother-in-law.

“...A flying reindeer that serves a wizard-like entity is most certainly NOT a muggle thing. And if you are hinting at my relationship with alcohol, dearest sister-in-law, well... There are worse things to be into. Like mudbloods.”

For a Gryffindor, he certainly didn't look like he would fight her. Which was good. Inter-house rivalry wasn't something she was in the mood for right now - and especially not a first year. Her expression changed from neutral to bemused at the question. "Wow... rough start of term, huh? Was it Avery or Rosier that got you? I know they were laughing about getting Gryffindor first years... but trust me, I wouldn't jinx my cousin.

Pursing his lips at the quills in her grip still, he draws the wand – curved and short, awkward in his hands yet – from the depth of his school robes and gives the bunch a once-over with jinx-detecting spell. The wand goes quickly back between the folds, and he’s mumbling a garbled sort of apology for paranoia.

He’d rather not have a member of the Blacks’ clan glean any information on his life, he had one Black already to give him grief over his failings, yet he dares not to just turn on his heels and let the rudeness linger in the air. Shame for a Gryffindor.

“Kind of you to assume only Slytherins could get me. Sirius gets me occasionally too,” he mutters with a mirthless chuckle, glancing towards the castle entrance, longing to be somewhere near a Gryffindor Prefect should the things go awry.

“ talk less. smile more. ” // Draco

“ I’ll smile when there’s a reason to smile, dear aunt.” His breath -- stentorian, mushroomed from his chest, and escaped in a humorless laugh. The retort was immature -- prat-ish even, but still her face, pointed -- edges of broken churchyard glass, stared back to his.

Andromeda, his mother’s sister, a recent addition to his life, unpredictable and unashamed. He did not want her advice, or suggestions, or understanding. He knew how to play the game and smiling would not help in this case. Talking less however ...

The letter from his solicitor sat heavy in his pocket -- a retrial.

“ Why are you here? Mother’s out. “

a platonic kiss

“Thank you for your help Black, the assistance during Summer. I shan’t go into details, however it helped me get through until Hogwarts started again,” Severus kissed the tips of his own fingers, then ever so lightly touching them to her cheek.

It was about as affectionate as Severus could be.

He’d thought he was alone in the common room. It was a reasonable assumption, after all, given it was the middle of the night, and when he’d first come down stairs, it had seemed empty. Somewhere private. So he’d curled up on one of the large armchairs, and just let the tears go, crying quietly into his knees. 

It was stupid really. He’d been ill the week before, and as such, the transfiguration essay he’d handed in had been incredibly poor. How his father had heard of his poor grade, he had no idea, but the man’s letter had been incredibly scathing and detailed in telling him of just how much of a disappointment he was. No howler, Corvus Lestrange IV didn’t need to shout to get his point across.

He had made it very clear what he thought of his son.
