THE SCHOOL TALKED OF NOTHING BUT SIRIUS BLACK for the next few days. The theories about how he had entered the castle became wilder and wilder; Hannah Abbott, from Hufflepuff, spent much of their next Herbology class telling anyone who'd listen that Black could turn into a flowering shrub.

"Hufflepuff are not always innocent." Marlene mutters as she wink at a boy from Hufflepuff who blushes.

The Fat Lady's ripped canvas had been taken off the wall and Replaced with the portrait of Sir Cadogan and his fat gray pony.

"No not him!" Sirius gasps horrified.

"Oh Merlin." James gulps.

Nobody was very happy about this. Sir Cadogan spent half his time challenging people to duels, and the rest thinking up ridiculously complicated passwords, which he changed at least twice a day.

"He's a complete lunatic," said Seamus Finnigan angrily to Percy. "Can't we get anyone else?" "None of the other pictures wanted the job," said Percy. "Frightened of what happened to the Fat Lady. Sir Cadogan was the only one brave enough to volunteer."

"Wow, they are scared of me?" Sirius rolls his eyes.

"Of your reputation, dadfoot." Antares smirks.

"That's my son! He called me dadfoot! You get it?" Sirius grins proudly.

Sir Cadogan, however, was the least of Coventina's worries. She was now being closely watched. Teachers found excuses to walk along corridors with her, and Percy Weasley (acting, Coventina suspected, on his mother's orders) was tailing him everywhere like an extremely pompous guard dog.

To cap it all, Professor McGonagall summoned Coventina into her office, with such a somber expression on her face Coventina, thought someone must have died. "There's no point hiding it from you any longer, miss Potter," she said in a very serious voice. "I know this will come as a shock to you, but Sirius Black-"

"Aww, I always know that Minnie had favorite." Delphina pouts.

Her mom used to tell her about how their pranks time with Minnie.

"I don't have any favorite." Professor McGonagall stated firmly.

"James." The Marauders and Slytherin Skittles mutters.

"He's after me?" said Coventina raising a brow. "I heard that everywhere." Professor McGonagall seemed very taken aback. She stared at Coventina for a moment or two, then said, "I see! Well, in that case, miss Potter, you'll understand why I don't think it's a good idea for you to be practicing Quidditch in the
evenings. Out on the field with only your team members, it's verexposed, miss Potter-"

"We've got our first match on Saturday." said Coventina calmly, "It would be a shame if we lose." she added. Professor McGonagall considered her intently. Coventina knew she was deeply interested in the Gryffindor team's prospects; it had been she, after all, who'd suggested her as Seeker in the first Place.

"I get too attach to quidditch too." Coventina let out a content sigh.

"And I got too attach to you." Antares chuckles.

"Very funny."

"But it's the truth."

"Hmm..." Professor McGonagall stood up and stared out of the window at the Quidditch field, just visible through the rain. "Well... goodness knows, I'd like to see us win the Cup at last... but all the same, miss Potter... I'd be happier if a teacher were present. I'll ask Madam Hooch to oversee your training sessions."

Sirius grins, "Minnie can never refuse a good match."

"I can't believe that I am agreeing with you." Barty states.

The weather worsened steadily as the first Quidditch match drew nearer.
Undaunted, the Gryffindor team was training harder than ever under the
eye of Madam Hooch. Then, at their final training session before Saturday's match, Oliver Wood gave his team some unwelcome news.

"We're not playing Slytherin!" he told them, looking very angry. "Flint's just been to see me. We're playing Hufflepuff instead." "Why?" chorused the rest of the team. "Flint's excuse is that their Seeker's arm's still injured," said Wood, grinding his teeth furiously. "But it's obvious why they're doing it. Don't want to play in this weather. Think it'll damage their chances...."

Coventina scoffs and turns to Draco. "Next time you do that, I will cut out the thing that make you reproduce."

Draco gulps.

"No ferret or peacock?" Achilles's eyes glints with amusement.

"Achilles Ares Laskos!" Lilia states firmly.

"Love you, blonde brother of mine." Achilles says sarcasticly but he means it.

"Ugg, me too." Lucius rolls his eyes as relax when their mother smiles.

"Save." Coventina snickers.

There had been strong winds and heavy rain all day, and as Wood spoke, they heard a distant rumble of thunder. "Malfoy is merely faking his injury." Coventina sighed, cursing Draco in every languages she knows.

Draco wince at that.

"Sorry?"

"Chocolate."

"Deal."

"No!" Aelora and Anastacius states. "No chocolate."

Draco and Coventina frowns.

"I know that, but we can't prove it," said Wood bitterly, "And we've been practicing all those moves assuming we're playing Slytherin, and instead it's Hufflepuff, and their style's quite different. They've got a new Captain and Seeker, Cedric Diggory-"

Angelina, Alicia, and Katie suddenly giggled.

Daphne, Aelora and Delphina giggles while Coventina chuckles.

"Tsk." The boys rolls their eyes.

"What?" said Wood, frowning at this lighthearted behavior. "He's that tall, good-looking one, isn't he?" said Angelina, she looked at Coventina, "Pretty handsome, if you want to know."

Coventina raised a brow.

"Strong and silent," said Katie, and they started to giggle again. "He's only silent because he's too thick to string two words together,"

"Poor Diggory."

said Fred impatiently. "I don't know why you're worried, Oliver, Hufflepuff is a pushover. Last time we played them, Coventina caught the Snitch in about five minutes, remember?"

"We were playing in completely different conditions!" Wood shouted, his eyes bulging slightly. "Diggory's put a very strong side together! He's an excellent Seeker! I was afraid you'd take it like this! We mustn't relax! We must keep our focus! Slytherin is trying to wrong-foot us! We must win!"

"Damn atleast James is always cheerfull but this one only make pression." Marlene frowns.

"Don't tell me about it." Coventina sighs.

"Oliver, calm down!" said Fred, looking slightly alarmed. "We're taking Hufflepuff very seriously. Seriously."

"SIRIUSLY."

"Yes?" Sirius smirks.

"Totally, seriously." Coventina snickers with George. After, the twins walked with Coventina, "Want to prank someone, little one?" Fred asked her.

Antares leans back with a small sigh as he looks at the screen.

The Marauders tense at the exact moment waiting for the moment to strike.

"Hm, yes, some Ravenclaws," Coventina nodded, and crossed her arms. "Got it!"

"MARAUDER IN MAKING!"

James grins proudly.

Coventina chuckles amuse.

Professor McGonagall is question her life choice.

Soon enough Coventina told them the name of the girls in Ravenclaw and the prank couldn't be more hilarious when three girl came in the Great Hall with ugly furrs and orange painting on their faces.

Laugher was heard in the Hall, making many relax after some tension.

Coventina watched Aelora dying of laugher as she slowly caress Aelora's back in case she choke. Her eyes widened when she saw her lovely cobra that slithered toward the Gryffindor Common.

Cobentina wince lowly at this scene.

"Hold up," Coventina wasted no time she left thr Great Hall quickly following her cobra. "Aamon!" She hissed.

"ᴍɪsᴛʀᴇss!" Aamon urged with anxiousness, quickly slithered around his mistress's waist for comfort.

"Never know a snake would want comfort." Molly says sarcasticly.

Regulus winces.

Narcissa winces.

Delphina winces.

"What happen?!" She asked worriedly, "ᴍɪsᴛᴇʀ ᴅᴇᴠɪʟ!" Coventina raised a brow confused. "Mister devil? Who is that?"

"ᴍɪsᴛʀᴇss's ғᴀᴛʜᴇʀ." Aamon hissed softlt, searching comfort around his mistress. "What happen to my father, Aamon?" Coventina asked Aamon, her voice cold as ice.

"Mister devil?" Achilles raises a brow amuse by the nickname, the cobra gave him.

"It suit you." Mortem/Thanatos snickers.

"Hey, Morty." Achilles smirks.

The personification of Death groans.

"ᴍɪsᴛᴇʀ ʀᴀᴛs ᴛʜɪᴇғ-" Confuse and frustrate, Coventina grabbed Aamon off her waist and looks at him. "Who the hell is that again?" Aamon bend down his head, like a lost puppy.

"My money on Emrys." Regulus and Draco states.

"So damn familiar."

"ᴍɪsᴛʀᴇss's ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ɪs ᴛᴇʟʟɪɴɢ ʜᴇʀ ᴛᴏ ᴀᴘᴘᴀʀᴀᴛᴇ ʙᴀᴄᴋ ʜᴏᴍᴇ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴜsᴇ ᴍɪsᴛᴇʀ ᴅᴇᴠɪʟ ɪs sɪᴄᴋ." Aamon hissed, his eyes not daring to meet Coventina's angry one.

"What sickness?" She hissed coldly.

"This is a face that says 'Tell me now or you are dead." Theodore points out.

"As if Coventina would hurt her familiars animals." Draco scoffs.

"ʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴜɢʜ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ-" Coventina apparate as quick as possible in front of the Laskos Manor- making her head and Aamon's ache with pain at the sudden accidental magic, she didn't even have time to understand, she ran in the Manor.

Anastacius and Antares raises a brow.

"How did you do that so fast?" Evan asks her.

"Secret." Coventina grins.

Antares chuckles and place his head on Coventina's shoulder. "Sweet Goddess, you are getting stronger."

"Of course, duh."

Dumbledore analyse the scene and gritted his teeth. "I need those power!"

"Brother!" She called out, entering in the Manor, the wind blowing so hard- it was different than Hogwards, so different.

Lilia smiles, "It is."

"Coventina!" Emrys leaned against the door, his expression cold yet filled with anxiousness. "What happen?" She asked coldly.

"He is magically weak again." Emrys told her, "But he was alright when we-" Her eyes widened as she remembered his words.

"I knew something was wrong." Fleamont caresses his chin.

"Hm," Achilles signs leaning on James.

"What are you hiding?" James asks softly.

"Secret." Achilles mutters.

"I thought you were magically weak."

"I am but you just make it better."

"I make it better...?" She mumbled confuse, "parva soror, you need to
do something." Emrys told her softly, smiling at her. "Me? N-no!" Coventina shook her head.

Anastacius smiles.

"Didn't you say the same thing years ago?" Aelora smiles brightly.

"I did."

"I destroy everything I touch-" Emrys chuckles, "So does father, parva soror." He replied to her, running his hand over her hair. "W-what do I need to do?" She asked him hesitatedly.

"I thought it would be better alone." Coventina tells her father.

"I thought so too, but I was wrong." Achilles replies.

"Follow me." Emrys walked in the hall, slowly for Coventina to catch him up, she was shocked to see a tree in the house, 'a tree with gold leaves? That exist?' She thought.

Many's eyes widens at such manificient tree. Some were greedy too.

"Touch it," Coventina looked at his brother with confusion, "What will happen if I do?" Emrys smiled. "You will have a mark on your backpalm- not a scar but a family mark." He replied.

Coventina looks at her backpalm and smiles.

"No- how can it help father and why not you?" Emrys sighed.

"I don't know, even I was shocked when I first saw him with you- he can barely even walk so it was weird but now when you left for so many times, I noticed he weakened." Emrys ran his hand through his hair. "Almost as if-"

"- Almost as if I am his life force." Coventina continued, Emrys nodded.

James raise a brow and looks at Thanatos who was tensing.

"I won't say anything, don't even try." Thanatos tells him.

"Some ancestor." James rolls his eyes.

"This tree give healing water, it was one of the gfirst sacred belonging of the laskos, it will take some of your energy but it will be worth it- and you won't get hurt, don't worry." He continued.

"Me and father would never do something to hurt you three. You
will only feel tired." Coventina let out
a soft sigh and place her palm on the
tree and Emrys was right, she feel her energy leaving slowly but it was not hurting her.

"Our belonging doesn't hurt us." Emrys informed her, "It's only hurt our enemies." Coventina raised a brow and slowly she fell back, and got caught by Emrys.

Coventina smirks, it really did hurt the enemy.

Antares yawns.

"Thank you, parva soror." Emrys murmurs gently before kissing her forehead. "W-what w-with people kissing my forehead?" She mumbled sleepy and passed out from the lack of energy.

"Aww!" Euphemia and Lilia who were as tense as others suddenly squeals.

Coventina feels a blush creeping on her face.

"Cute." Antares whispers.

"How could my angelic sister come from the old man?" Emrys mumbled, he knew if his father heard him, he would end up being a dramatic man and luckily Sirius went out, Coventina shouldn't see him so quickly.

"The old man should be fine, thanks to you, parva soror." Emrys picked her up in princess style, taking the golden cup that was full with divine water as he walked toward his chamber to slowly placed Coventina on it.

"I think I am addicted to his room." Coventina grins.

She always went to her brother's room and slept there without any problem. It as just too comforting.

It's seem to be very comfortable as Coventina was snuggling in his pillow.

"How cute, this is your sister?" A man leaned against the door watching Emrys and Coventina who was sleeping.

"STRANGER ALERT!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Antares growls annoyed.

"Who the hell piss him off?" Draco muse.

"He hate when someone stop his sleeping time." Coventina sighs zs she watches Antares lays his head on her lap to sleep.

"Tsk, not even askng for permission." She mutters and squeaks lowly as he squeeze her waist tightly.

"Brat."

"Yes, Aurelius. This is my parva soror, your sister in law, the youngest one since Aelora is older than her." The man identified as Aurelius tilted his head curiously.

Antares groans and watches the screen at the mention of Aurelius.

Draco sweat drops, "Why him?"

"This is the girl that Antares is interest in?" Aurelius muttered, his dirty bonde hair covering his right green eyes as he watched his fiance with his now, sister in law.

"Hm? Interest in?" Coventina looks down at Antares.

"Love you too."

"So that's Emrys's fiance?" James asks curiously.

"Like mother like son, both went for men." Sirius grins proudly.

"Hot men." Marlene giggles.

"Watch over her, I need to heal my father." Emrys place a last kiss on Coventina's forehead before walking toward the door. "And you behave too." Emrys told Aurelius.

"What?" Aurelius frowns pouting like a sulking kid who lost his lollipop.

"Great, he is still so damn dramatic." Draco rolls his eyes dramatically.

"Aurelius Evan Rosier." Emrys warned coldly. "Whatever you says, my love." He shrugs and allow his lover to leave.

Evan choke and spill out his water.

Barty raise a brow.

"My son with Potter's?!" Evan shouts surprise.

"Wow?" Regulus mutters sassily.

"Damn." Dorcas laughs.

As soon as Emrys left, he sighed, "Poor princess," Aurelius said with another long sigh. "She have really grew up since last time I saw her." He muttered.

Coventina pressed her lips together, glaring at the screen. "Damn you." She whispers.

"A cold heart little girl who tainted her little hands and heart at a young age, sweet little princess," He smiled softly. "How pleasant to see you again."

Many were curious and confuses at Aurelius's statement so they looks at Coventina who's eyes were firmly on
a white light.

Two men standing next to each other, girls were drooling. They were too handsome. One was running his hand through his light brown hair. His brown yet glint of gray eyes were full of adoration.

Next to him was a man with blonde hair that covered his green eyes- Evan was sure that this was his son.

"Emrys Laskos, pleasure to meet you." Emrys make his way to his siblings and ruffles their hair which make Anastacius groans.

"Aurelius Rosier." Aurelius grins and looks at his father before looking at Coventina who looks almost hurt.

"It was you?" Coventina asks.
