The Snake and The Star

Before Hogwarts

TW: Suicide, Talks of Child Abuse and Neglect, Abuse 

The cries of a woman were heard throughout the manor, as the cries of the women ceased the cries of a baby could be heard. That day Orion Sirius Black was born the son of Regulus Black, and the heir of The Most Noble House of Black.  

2 weeks after Orion Sirius Black was born, Regulus Black went missing later presumed dead.  Upon hearing of Regulus's death, Orion's mother went mad. As years go by it was the house elf's job to take care of Orion as his mother was too depressed to get out of her bed or to check on her young child. Orion's grandmother took charge of making sure her son's child did not starve to death or hurt himself.  At the age of 2 Orion showed signs of accidental magic, when he would cry (Which wasn't often) books from the shelves would fly around, and glass would be shattered. At the age of 2, Orion should sigins of a powerful wizard much to Walbruga's pleasure. 

3-year-old Orion was playing with his toys that used to belong to his father and Uncle. Kreacher gave them to him when he saw that Orion was getting bored causing more books to fly off the shelves. Orion's mother decided to visit Orion or so he thought. When Orion saw his mother walk into his room he smiled brightly at her until he noticed the look she had in her eyes. Orion despite being young was very observant and intelligent, his grandmother always said he got it from his father, she said that a lot. Orion always reminded people of his father, and for that reason, he concluded that way his mother never liked being in the same room as him. So when she came to his room he was happy till her eyes showed nothing, his mother's eyes resembled a void. Orion gets up and walks towards his mother a toy in his hand. Mommy, look it's a snich. Young Orion shows his mother while tugging in her dress. Can you play with me? He asks wanting nothing more than to spend time with his mother. She just pushes him away and makes her way towards his window. Orion falls behind her not knowing what she was doing as she opens it. Mommy, close the window it's cold out. Orion asks his mother as he tries to reach for her. His mother gets out of his reach as she gets on the window edge and falls off Orion tries to catch her failing as he sees his mom fall to her death. A young Orion's cries and screams were heard as his magic flared causing chaos. His grandmother and Kreacher run into the room to see what has caused Orion to be screaming. Seeing the window open, Walbruga makes her way carefully towards Orion. Looking out what she saw was horrific. Orion's mother was lifeless on the stone patio blood ing pouring out. She quickly grips Orion holding him close to her so he couldn't look at the scene anymore. Kreacher, call the ministry right Saint Mangou right away. She calls as she takes Orion out of the room and into the library. As she waits for the wizards to come she reads Orion's favorite book to help him calm down and keep his mind away from his mother. 

Orion's mother's funeral was small only Orion, Walbruga, and Kreacher in attendance. Orion would either sleep in Walbruga's room or his father's room with Kreacher next to him. Orion was still too young for a sleeping draught to help with his nightmares, so most nights he would wake up screaming and crying. Walbruga decided that once he turned four she would start training him to become the perfect heir/lord to the House of black. 

One Orion foruth birthday Walbraga gifted him the Heirship ring that magically altered to fit his finger. And from that point on Walbrgaus lessons would start. 

Walbrug knew Orion was too young for the Cruciatus curse until he was at least six, so she would have to find other punishments until then. She remembered Sirius and Regulus would be punished the muggle way until they were old enough for the Cruciatus curse. So Walbrug would hit Orion if he got something wrong, or was misbehaving. Despite being young Orion understood most of what Walbbruga said, he was a fast learner and loved to read. He truly was his father's child. An exact copy of Regulus, the same eyes, hair, features, and personalities. It was like Regulus's soul went into his son's when he died. Orion learned early on that he had to do what his grandmother wanted it wasn't until he was six that he knew her full force. Despite being old and sickly Walbruga still had the same temper and knew how to punish. The Cruciatus curse was nothing like Orion had imagen, excruciating pain in his small body. The first time his grandmother used it he couldn't walk for a week, as time went on he learned how to deal with the pain.
