A/N: Sorry about the delay but the chapters need reviewing and I haven't been feeling very creative lately.

I'm absolutely floored by the reviews and support I am getting for this story. I will finish it. I know the direction I am going in and the Draft of year 2 is complete, I just need to read through it again.

Since this chappie is so short, another will follow today.

(35) Back to Society

The next time Corvus woke, he was surprised to be in a bed, surrounded by white walls. He tried to sit up, only to feel someone pushing him down. He panicked and began fighting the hands only to hear his mother’s voice.

He paused in his fighting and took a look around the room. He locked eyes with his mother and waited for the nurse to leave. Once they were alone, he jumped into her arms and sobbed.

“It’s alright, Corvus, it’s alright. You’re out of there now.”

The young wizard could only nod into his mother’s shoulder. He felt a chill pass over him and he shivered. His mother tried to lay him in bed but he couldn’t let go of her. She climbed in next to him and held him close.

They sat like that for about an hour before either could speak.

“I’m glad you’re awake, Cor. I was getting nervous,” his mother said, breaking the silence. Corvus looked at her confused. “You slept for a day. They’ve had you on healing and nutrition potions for over twenty-four hours. The Healers had to re-break your cheek bone to heal it correctly.”

Corvus thought about that. It was surprising that he didn’t feel pain. He was just cold, which he told his mother.

She took out her wand and summoned an extra blanket and bundled him up, where he fell asleep once again.

Corvus spent another day in the wizarding hospital before being released into his mother’s custody. He was annoyed that he would need to return to Hogwarts the following day, but he did have lots of work to catch up on.

He really didn’t want to return, but his mother and solicitor agreed if he didn’t go back it would look suspicious. He didn’t quite understand their logic considering the attacks were still happening, but he didn’t much feel like arguing.

They arrived to the quiet manor, where Corvus returned to his bed and burrowed under as many blankets as he could find. He could not get rid of the chill that seemed to have seeped into his bones.

After sleeping for half the day, he summoned quill and parchment to write a few letters before he could forget.

Amelia Bones sat in her office going over the medical reports she had received for Corvus Lestrange.

She could not believe the damage her Auror’s had done to a 12 year old! She had to suspend three Azkaban guards for two months and Sirius Black was suspended without pay pending the investigation. Not to mention another top Auror, James Potter, was also on suspension.

It was such a messed up situation and she could not understand how it could get this far.

A light ‘caw’ brought her eyes up from her parchment. She was shocked to look at a beautiful Raven sitting on her desk, holding his foot out.

She looked at the Raven and spoke “No offense to you, but I am a Ministry worker,” and she cast detection charms to be sure it was nothing harmful.

When the charms came up clear, she raised her eyebrow. She ran a finger down the bird’s head “And who do you belong to, handsome?” She laughed as the bird preened.

Finally she removed the missive from the bird. She immediately pulled her department letterhead to her to fulfill the request of the sender.

Madam Bones,

I am unsure if you are aware of my standing as a correspondence student with Durmstrang Academy and Scuola di Stregonaria. I was hoping you could send a letter to both institutions explaining my incarceration and release. I will be writing my own letter, but I want an official one on record in case they ask.

Thank you for your help

In Italy, Headmistress Befana was reading her newspaper when a snowy owl came tapping at her window. She handed the bird a biscuit before taking the missive.

She let out a breath of relief when she saw who it was from as well as the contents of the letter.

She quickly made copies and took them to the professors. The boy would have a lot to catch up on.

Headmistress Befana,

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am sure you heard of my incarceration in Azkaban and I wanted to write to tell you that I was incarcerated without questioning and without a trial. After being released two days ago, I have put my own charges forth.

But that is passed. I am wondering the effect this will have on my studies. Could your forward this letter and any letter you get from the British Ministry of Magic Department of Magical Law Enforcement to my professors?

I also hope that we can schedule a meeting over the winter holidays. Please feel free to send a response with Hedwig. She will wait.

Corvus Lestrange

The night before he was to return to Hogwarts, Corvus was dragged to the dining room by his mother. He wore black sweatpants with a green hooded sweatshirt. His family frowned at his choice of clothing, but said nothing to him.

When he noticed his Uncle Lucius sitting at the table looking slightly pale, he treated it like a mystery. Why would his Uncle be so nervous about him. It wasn’t his fault...

His eyes suddenly narrowed. Diagon Alley! What reason would Lucius Malfoy have for getting into a physical altercation with someone he deemed a blood-traitor? He did say that there was a plan to get them back, didn’t he?

He knew one book came out and two went in... what was that book. His Uncle wouldn’t... would he?

Conversation was stilted, so Corvus spent the time watching his family interact. Everything seemed normal on the surface, but Corvus knew these people. He could see the tightness in Lucius’ eyes and the frown marring his mouth. His Aunt Narcissa’s worry lines were more pronounced. His mother and Uncle Rabastan looked concerned, but not overly guilty or suspicious.

Once dinner was through, he bid good night to everyone, but caught his Uncle right before he left through the floo. Narcissa had gone ahead while Bellatrix and Rabastan had gone to their rooms.

Let’s see about a reaction then.

“Is everything alright?” he asked. “You seem a bit tense.”

Lucius answered with a tight smile. “Everything’s fine, Corvus.”

The dark haired pre-teen nodded. There was a nervousness to his Uncle now. “Tell me, Uncle,” he said, emphasizing the word ‘uncle’ and eyes burning when he saw the man flinch. “Just what was your plan to get back at the Weasley’s? And what was that book you put in Weasley’s cauldron? hmm?”

Steel eyes widened minutely, but the blond did not answer. He threw the floo powder into the fireplace and stepped through, quickly yelling ‘Malfoy Manor’.

The reaction was enough in Corvus' eyes

A/N: Someone's in trouble.... hehe. Come on. We know Corvus is too smart for his own good!! ;)
