Title: The call of Justice
Pairings: Implied parental pairings
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: Harry, his elder sister, his friends and his yearmates grew up with the reality of abuse. Some of them like Harry, Dudley Black-Tonks and Sally Smith were rescued from abusive situations; Harry and Sally from the Orphanage from hell and Dudley from his magic-phobic birth parents. Together these children grow up all the stronger for the bonds they share and set out to make themselves worthy of the world that their parents have forged.

Chapter 5B
Hermione and Coraline weren't exactly surprised to learn that they born were morning people...
They were up early, eager to start their first day at Hogwarts and were bustling about way before the clock struck 6.
Coraline had bullied her own elf Clary into looking after Hermione so they both had fresh, pressed clothes and clean robes waiting for them as well as hot chocolate and heated towels.
They were chattering so loudly that they inadvertently woke their other six yearmates in both of the First Year girls' dormitories when they called out greetings to their Second Year neighbours who shared their bathroom.
Su Li glared at them while Padma just yawned sleepily as she stumbled about getting ready.
As luck would have it, neither of the girls in their dormitory bothered with primping and preening so they were all heading down to Common Room where they were surprised to find a professor...
Once it seemed that all of their House were present the severe-looking witch gave them a piercing look.
"My name for you First Years is Septima Vector. I teach Ancient Runes, if you don't know what that is, I suggest that you look it up. Many Careers post-Hogwarts will require High NEWT scores in Multiple Subjects and Ancient Runes while difficult will push your name to the top of the list of candidates. For those who aren't aware I am the Head of Ravenclaw and I expect just as high marks and perfect behaviour outside of this Tower as Severus will expect out of his Snakes. If you need assistance in a subject I suggest you start study groups, it is unlikely in the extreme that all of you will have the same strengths and weaknesses academically. By helping each other, you further your own understanding of the material."
Hermione and Coraline exchanged bemused looks, they were nearly identical in academic strengths which would mean that they could help others a lot.
"I do not tolerate bullying, taunting or tardiness. I expect as the brainy house, as we're euphemistically called, that you will show the rest of the school that timeliness in attendance and assignments is imperative. Unless you are ill in the Infirmary you will be in class on time, if you cannot be on time then I will expect that you will have a note from a previous instructor. Good Morning and welcome to Hogwarts, if you have any questions your Prefects will be glad to assist you."
Then the stern witch let herself out of the tower leaving them in stunned silence...
Eventually a blonde cleared her throat, "My name is Penelope Clearwater, I am the Fifth Year Girls prefect."
"I'm Sam Black-Tonks; I'm her counterpart for the blokes. Come find us if you need anything."
Cousin or not, Coraline had to admit that Sam was cute. He was also rather built for a bookworm but that was likely because Uncle Ted took his kids out for runs every day.
Sam had that 'I've already gone running and just came from the shower look', Coraline just knew he'd likely dragged his brothers Ariel and Dudley out for a run as well as Greg too because where Dudley went, Greg usually followed.
That business over with Sam and Penelope started handing out schedules before herding their House out of their Tower and down towards the Great Hall with the assistance of the elder prefects.
Breakfast was a boisterous and subdued affair depending on who was or was not a morning person.
It wasn't until after they'd eaten that Hermione and Coraline pulled out their schedules.
First Period was Defence with Professor Quirrell and Hufflepuff, and then they had an Herbology lesson with Gryffindor before Potions with Hufflepuff. After that was lunch, then a free period and finally double History of Magic with Gryffindor.
Despite loving learning and being naturally kind girls there was something about Quirrell that turned their stomachs.
The stench of garlic was so strong in the Defence classroom that Coraline had to hex away her sense of smell to avoid losing her breakfast.
Thank Rowena; they only had a single period this morning with the stammering professor who smelt as if he not only used garlic oil as a lotion but also as cologne and 'soap' to wash his clothes with...
Being a Lupin was a curse right now since she had a stronger sense of smell then most.
Coraline's eyes had been watering all of Defence and she was gasping for fresh air with her head out of a window on the Third Floor of the castle.
"Are you alright?" Hermione asked with a worried look as she squeezed her shoulder companionably.
Coraline coughed, "I inherited my dad's strong sense of smell. That garlic about killed me...I don't know how I'll survive a year in his class. The man must bathe in the stuff..."
They headed outside after Coraline caught her breath with the rest of the girls as well as the boys in their house to be on time to Herbology.
It hadn't helped Coraline or Hermione's tempers that Ron, Ernie and Zach were tossing balls of sticky paper at them all through Defence.
Merely the thought of having to deal with those idiots in Potions was already making them irritated...
At least they knew that the Gryffindor First Year boys weren't so infantile...
XooooooX
Reading up on their first chapter in Defence as well as researching more material on the subject kept them busy aside from their skimming of the introduction chapter to their Potions text.
Sera had mentioned that papa was very strict when it came to potions and very careful, one mistake and he would vanish the entire contents of a cauldron.
Despite knowing that he planned to be harder on them then their schoolmates, Coraline was a little nervous about having her papa for a teacher.
Like Harry, Coraline had been around sixteen months when Severus came into her life. She had no memory of her birth parents having gone into hiding within hours of her birth, only her birth parents, Aunt Andromeda and Dad knew of her existence.
Coraline loved to hear stories about her birth parents but like Harry, she felt that Severus Prince and Remus Lupin were her real parents. Why? Because they were the ones who soothed her nightmares, took care of her when she was sick, read her stories, taught her to use a wand, read, gave her food, clothes and a pretty room...
But she was their daughter and she had Harry, Sera, Nemia, Teddy and Fili who looked up to her.
Hermione was an only child so she didn't quite understand the burden being an eldest sibling was. Not that Coraline ever disliked being the eldest; it did come with perks...
Hermione had silently nudged her towards the dungeons to the classroom that she spotted Coraline's papa inside of...
They trooped in behind the rest of their Ravenclaw yearmates taking over the front of the classroom and leaving the back for the Hufflepuffs.
When the bell rang signifying the start of the class, Coraline's papa immediately began taking roll.
Pausing when it came to Coraline's name, "Miss Lupin, I do hope for all our sakes that you take after your mother when it comes to brewing."
Coraline swallowed, "Yes pa...I mean professor..."
Then he paused once again, "Ah Mr. Weasley, your brothers according to Horace have done quite well in this class. Apparently George has a gift for brewing, will you take after them in skill I wonder..."
Hermione peaked over her shoulder to see Ron scowling.
"I have a sister too..." Zacharias snorted.
"Zacharias Smith, the son of my closest rival when it comes to brewing. Sadly, I have little expectation of you doing well in this class." Severus said gruffly.
Hermione and Coraline knew that Zacharias was Damocles' son but they preferred his half sisters Deborah, Salma, Addi and Carys, as well as his half brother Thaddeus...
However, Zacharias was nothing like the rest of his family...
After roll was taken, Severus began to speak in that low voice that he used when he was lecturing Sera or Teddy.
"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potionmaking," Severus said in a quiet but firm parental voice that had everyone's attention. "All instructions must be followed exactly as written in your text unless you have access to a different receipt otherwise it will be far more disastrous then a mere miscast spell."
"Since you will have little need for a wand in this class, a number of you will doubt that this is magic. As mere children, I don't expect that a majority of you will ever come to understand the beauty of a gently simmering cauldron with its shimmering scents. The delicate power of liquids that can creep through human veins, bewitch the mind and ensnare senses. For those who wish to learn, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even stopper death. There are perhaps a few of you that may go far in these field while others will be glad to be done with it come their Sixth Year."
Coraline and her friends were studiously were taking notes, like the good Ravenclaws that they were when her papa stopped talking.
Coraline frowned looking up just in time for him to snap.
"I see that you three wish to increase your House's negative points."
All of the students spun around to glare at Ron, Zach and Ernie...
"Since you three need to focus on potions I will expect you to report to this classroom at 6 tonight." Severus' expression darkened, "You will be cleaning up after my son Teddy's Potions lesson."
Coraline snorted, Teddy had no patience and usually resorted to tossing random ingredients into a cauldron despite both Sera and their papa's lectures and warnings.
Hermione and Coraline glanced around and realised that they'd totally been oblivious to Ron, Zach and Ernie's resumed target practice that had them as targets...
Just great, this time papa had witnessed it...
Coraline was sure when he heard that they'd done the same in Defense he would be even more displeased with them.
Coraline maybe an elder sibling but she was not a talebearer...
Once they were 'caught' and sentenced to detention Zach, Ron and Ernie had settled back in affronted silence.
Which wasn't that much of a surprise, to Coraline's knowledge Zach and Ernie had never felt the slightest bit of guilt when it came to bullying; it seemed that Ron was cut out of the same cloth.
What a sad turn of events...

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
ladyedgecombe -Yes this is the Harry Potter Hogwarts era sequel, the snupin one is Silver Asters?
Jan - Sadly it would be better for everyone if Zach and Ron killed one another but we aren't so lucky?
Anon - This Sev is less abrasive but he has more trust that his class isn't full of dunderheads but that doesn't make him as cruel or abusive to the other houses as he is in canon. I'm working off the premise that with Remus and kids, that Sev is a nicer more adjusted person...
