《The Lion and The Raven ~ James Potter AU》CHAPTER 4
Advertisement
After James and Sirius got out the train, they were immediately pulled into a crowd of other first years heading after a man with a lamp who was directing them towards boats on the lake.
"Only four in a boat. No more!" screamed the man.
James and Sirius immediately got into a boat together. They then searched for Camilla, who was no where to be seen.
"Move forward!" commanded the man. The boats obeyed his command and moved as if by (pardon the pun) magic.
The Uncle and Nephew looked at their boat-mates.
One of them was a guy. He had light brown hair and clear blue eyes. James recognised him immediately, "Hey Frank."
The boy looked up, relieved to see a familiar face. "Hello James. Are you excited for the sorting?"
"Ya. Dad wouldn't tell me how we were going to be sorted, however. Do you know?" asked James.
Frank shook his head, "No. I asked mum as well. She said it was a Hogwarts secret, and that she could not tell me."
"My dad told us that we had to fight a troll." said the forth person in the boat.
The three boys looked at him in shock. The forth boy had flaming red hair, much like the girl they saw earlier. His face was full of freckles and he had the bluest eyes they had ever seen.
Frank clicked his tongue, "I saw you going on the other boat! Look!" he said pointing at a boat nearby
The other three boys looked. Sure enough, there was an identical boy there. Down to the last freckle.
The mysterious boy chuckled, "Oh, that loser? That's just my brother, Gideon. I'm Fabian, by the way. Fabian Prewett. The more handsome of the Prewett twins."

"And apparently, the more modest twin as well." commented Sirius with a grin.
Fabian smiled and with a twinkle in his eye said, "I'm going to like you three. I just know it."
"Are you really Fabian?" asked Frank. "Not Gideon pretending to be Fabian?"
'Fabian' flashed a guilty look, "Okay, you caught me. I'm Gidion. Or am I?" he asked mysteriously.
All the boys broke out into laughter.
"So, how is your brother sitting there when you are sitting here?" asked James curiously.
Fabian shrugged, "We lost each other in the crowd."
The boys nodded.
"Say," started Fabian "What are your names?"
"James. James Potter."
"Frank Longbottom."
"Black, Sirius Black."
"Black?" asked Fabian with a raised eyebrow. "I hope you haven't inherited too much of the Black family madness."
Sirius sighed. "Me too."
"We're related, you know." commented Fabian.
"The Blacks are related to literally every family." said Sirius dryly.
Fabian chuckled. "True."
"But, you are right. I mean, you are my first cousin through father." said Sirius. "Aunt Lucretia, right?"
Fabian nodded. "Thats my mum."
"But aren't the Prewett's neutral? I mean, I can understand the Potters and the Blacks not meeting much. Considering we are light and you are dark, but the Prewetts are grey." said James.
Sirius shrugged, "Unless you are dark, mother will never make an effort."
"The Longbottoms are related as well. Arcturus I and Lysandra Black nee Yaxley's first daughter was my grandmother, Callidora Longbottom nee Black." informed Frank.
"That makes us family. Family sticks together." said a grinning Sirius. "Now, tell me boys. What do you feel about pranking?"
Fabian grinned while Frank sighed deeply.

Plague Doctor
The once-bustling and noisy streets were now filled with an eerie blanket of silence. Hoarse and frenzied whispers lingered high above the heavens, and an indescribable ancient giant lurked in the shadows of the bottomless ocean. A mysterious plague had outbroken, and natural disasters wrought the Earth. Global pandemic and catastrophes had the panicked masses seeking illusory shelters from the devastation, day and night. A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens. “We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a “transverse bone” that humans do not possess…” In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students. Ominous and treacherous times had descended! Truth and logic had crumbled, order warped into a frenzy. Humanity can only forge ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom.

8 145Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
