Curiosity Harmed the Black Bird. Severus Snape {Complete}

Chapter one

I was walking down the hallway of my Godfathers small cottage wearing my Gryffindor robes and my enchanted sneakers which floated over the ground. Today I will be flooing to Hogwarts into the headmasters office right after the train arrives on platform 9/4th just for sheer measurement, Dumbledore didn't want me getting ambushed by journalists; considering my father slipped from the ministry's grasp once again.

"Am'!!! Your breakfast isn't getting any warmer in here I hope you know," Remus called with a stocky laugh. I walked faster, inhaling the intoxicating scent of his cooking.

"Score! Pancakes!," I said happily jumping down into the kitchen chair. Remus poured his dark black coffee and sat across from me, a stern all too familiar smile on his face.

"You know, Am', this year you have to promise to behave and I'll tell you what the special occasion that is happening this year," Remus said quietly- also bribing me, I began to choke on my breakfast which I soon spit out and gave him a tight glare.

"You're telling me," I said quietly "I have waited ALL SUMMER for you to tell me!!! Now since YOU'RE the one who gets to bloody-"

"Language," He interrupted

"-BRIBE AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BE GOOD?! YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BIPOLAR SOMETIMES!!!! 'No I'm not going to tell you even if you do the dishes and cook tonight' or 'No I'm not telling you no matter what you say you would do, you're just like your father' Remus you confuse me," I finished with a angry breath, crossing my arms. He began to laugh harder then he has in the past week.

"Your father gave me the same speech it's unnatural," His laughs were dying down a he held my hand in his. "Amortia promise to at least be decent this year? No hexing too many people and not so much pranking with the Weasley twins, and try hard not to save the school please and I'll tell you," He smiled recalling my last three years.

"Have more faith in me Remus! C'mon I'm an amazing student, you can't disagree," I flushed my eyelashes at him again which cause him to smile widely.

"Even to Dumbledore, yes you are," Remus stood up and patted my back with a airy laugh. "Painting his room purple with yellow stars last year and still thought you were fantastic and he quite enjoyed that, actually,"

"Weww duh," I said with a mouth full of new pancakes taking a huge swallow I continued "I'm amazing aren't I? Mean look at me I could get all the bo-"

Crack

There was a knock on the door after the distant sound of apparation, which Remus walked from the kitchen to answer. I heard the door lock click and two sets of footsteps leading towards the kitchen where I already cleaned up and was leaning out of the kitchen window. A raven swooped down and landed right on the windowsill, cautiously I reached my hand up and pet it. A slow warmth spread through me as I felt the two presences behind me watching. The raven cawed loudly as I picked it up with mild interest.

"You know," the raven started talking "Only wise magical settlers from the beginning could we choose for our masters, you have their blood o' wise one,"

"Am I going crazy or is this raven talking ," I asked turning to Remus and the unexpected visitor.. Snape

"It's talking to you," Remus breathed heavily walking towards me and leaving Snape to stand in the door way with interest marked on to his face.

"Shall I explain more?," The raven cooed we nodded in response "As I have just called you my master; I am your familiar. I come from long lineages of the beginning of magical blood. My great great grandmother, my great grand mother, my grandmother, then my own mother herself serviced the old magic ones. Here I am today finding my master with the purest blood yet, I shall service you to the end. Also annoy you," He added the last causing me to laugh I stroked his feather causing the raven to let out a cat like purr.

"What is your name?," I asked him as hurried whispers came from behind me.

"Whatever you choose for it to be," He cawed flying around my head whistling a song by the weird sisters.

"How about... Zeusius," I asked getting a affectionate caw "I'll call you light for short,"

Remus came up from behind me and put his hand into my shoulder directing me to the stairs, Zeusius following landing lightly onto my shoulder.

"So uh Zeusius. Your mother," Remus spoke lightly "Did Her name happen to be Tabitha?,"

"Yes it did," He cawed as I pulled my trunk off my bed "How did you know?,"

"Her mother Victoria," Remus said. I paused; considering he never talked about my mother, it was a soft subject in the household "She had a Raven familiar and it was female. She named it Tabitha, right before she was killed in the Order of The Phoenix during a war, she let her go out of commands because you were born just around then, practically saved each other's lives,"

"So Bran-girl here is a spawn of my mothers master, what a coincidence. I recall the stories my mother retold day by day about she and a boy names Sirius. But I realize now you have your mothers eyes," Zeusius said happily taking flight and venturing around the home leaving Remus and I alone.

"So what were you going to tell me about what's happening this year," I decided to change the subject; it was hard to talk about my parents with Remus. They were all so close.

"You know the Tri-Wizard-Tournament by now right? You do enough reading," I nodded "Well that will be taking place this year but their will be a certain age limit which is seventeen and above,"

"What!?!," I shrieked "You have to be kidding!!! That is so unfair it-" Remus stepped forward and covered my mouth with his hand, and giving a lazy flick with his wand in his other hand my trunk floated down stairs as Remus forced me to move along with it, scowling I followed.

"Sorry to break up your family protest," Snape drawled his eyes swam with curiosity and denial, as Zeusius landed onto my shoulder "But I have gotten notice the train has arrived at Hogwarts," I pushed my trunk into Snapes arms with a cocky smile and walked over to the fireplace.

"Albus Dumbledores Office, Hogwarts," I threw down the floo powder and with a woosh I was standing In a all to familiar room.

"Welcome back Amortia," Dumbledore smiled widely which I gladly returned, Zeusius cawed at the stranger. Another year at Hogwarts.
