Cyrus Harley had been taught that magic was a foul thing to have, that it had given his mother a sickness that took her away from this world. With the sickness now transmitted towards Cyrus himself, his father, Liam Harley, becomes obsessed with keeping him safe from taking away all the toys to locking him in a small room in the dark, all because he was afraid that if Cyrus's sickness was exactly like his mother's, there was no telling what could wrong.
As the daily prophet gets delivered to their doorstep, Liam's paranoia increases and when Cyrus ends up breaking one of his rules, the man snaps and locks him inside his room again, proclaiming that he could go a day without food or so. Sitting on his mattress, Cyrus counts the hours as they go by, unaware that there was a rampaging beast loose in the streets until his eyes meet feral black ones.
Attacked and left nearly dead, Cyrus is almost thankful that he makes it out alive until sources find out that the infection, having mixed with his initial sickness was more dangerous then they gave credit for. With his magic spiraling out of control like a damaged Sprinkler, Liam has no choice but to send his son to Hogwarts.
Fresh out of St.Mungos with scratches all over and a impairment that makes it almost impossible to learn, Cyrus enters Hogwarts with a unnatural fear, it doesn't help that he keeps turning his hair blue or the fact that someone wants him dead and it was clear that their first attempt failed miserably.
❝The way you're looking at me right now
makes me wonder where you want me.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
