October 8th
His last class had left, and David was finishing up cleaning the mess, though truly only visible to him, that they had left behind. A scouring spell on the desk, a pot of tea brewing, he waited, strolling through the desks until he was certain each one was once more impeccably clean.
Heading back into his office for his drink, a soft rap echoed to the little room. "Come in." he spoke plainly, making sure his tea was properly done before he walked out, a soft smile coming across his face at who had come by.
Voluntis was one of his star pupils, and more than that, someone that David viewed and a rather equal light to himself. They shared similar habits, right down to organizing the shelves in what others deemed completely mental ways, and scouring their surroundings in order to feel comfortable.

For the last two weeks Voluntis had put forth a lot of effort into something that was a little more personal than his thesis. It was killing him, though, to find the words and muster up the nerve to tell David Pierce something that was pressing on the forefront of his mind. Quickly he moved down the hall and pulled his sleeves down, making certain that his wrists were covered all the way down to his hands. Again he made sure that the collar of his shirt was laying flat and every single button was in perfect line. Fine. He was fine. This was cool right?
Shit, Voluntis... you've been so excited to find your dad for years. You're cool.
It was obvious wasn't it? Really. Clearly he didn't get those ticks and habits from his mother. Merlin knows that for a fact they all came from Professor Pierce. Ever single habit, his love for knowledge, his need to be clean, for things to be in order, for every single slot in the dishwasher to have the same number amount of utensils in it as the rest. No, those didn't come from his mum. Voluntis' mum was trashy. For all sake and purposes, she was a whore. Legit too. Vol couldn't actually remember the last time he slept on an actual bed outside of school.
What could go wrong? You've already walked through all the scenarios. Every single one. He only got mad at you in one of the lines, and that wasn't even this on.
As Vol thought the scar on his arm seared and he fought back the pain. Finding himself now standing at the door to David's office he knocked, entered and closed the door behind him. Sitting down across the desk from him and breathing in, sort of distracted.
"How is your thesis coming along?"
"Uh..." Wow Voluntis, way to botch it in the first five seconds of sitting down. "It's going alright, I had to take a few days off from it or I would have ripped my eyes out. But..." But what? Oh hey, you're my dad that's cool isn't it? Sweet. No. That wasn't like Voluntis at all.

David waited patiently for his answer, the pause in Vol's thoughts giving him the time to take the tea off. He couldn't help but feel the nervousness surrounding the young Corvus though. The...edge that seemed to linger around the boy. Of course David had considered the fact that it was simply anxiety concerning the boys thesis. But there was an underlying difference in it. Something...not quite usual .
He chuckled softly at the comment, as he had wondered when Vol would eventually resign to taking a break from it, if only for a day or so. IT had been nearly all that he'd worked on this year so far. "A day away from it may do you some good. Give you a chance to look at it with a clearer mind." he smiled to him, raising a brow quietly as he waited for him to continue after the but.
Now, David had no idea. He had no idea that the woman he had bedded those years ago had ever had a child, he had no idea that that child was the same one who was sitting before him now, and he had no idea the gravity of Vol's question. "I'm afraid I don't think I have ever met her, Voluntis. But that is a good thing, as I generally never meet my students parents unless they have started doing very poorly in my class." he smiled.

While David was right, he may have taken a day off of from his Thesis, but he didn't exactly take a day off. Adjusting his sleeves softly on his arms he looked to David quietly. Oh, his mind was definitely clearer and he had run this scenario through his mind multiple times. Constantly playing out the ifs, ands, and buts. Watching for any change, and there was a deep seated fear that his Professor wasn't going to take to the news very well.
"Perhaps I should start doing poorly. It... might jog your memory." The words came out and maybe he instantly regretted it. So instead of back peddling he pulled his sleeve up revealing the odd bloody and scared mess that was his arm and traced one of the most worked over dates on his arm with his wand. Wincing as he cut in again, the blood pooling on his arm, rolling at dripping off to the floor and he reached forward grabbing David's arm tightly before casting the protection spell and ripping him all the way back to April 9th, 1999.

David couldn't quite get a read on him, save for a very...out of character concern. Vol was rarely ruffled, and even when he was, it was generally only concerning his thesis or the state of a mess. But this was different. This was nervousness. Fear. Things that he rarely seen in the boy.
His comment instantly caused the Professors features to furrow in confusion. The last thing he had wanted for Voluntis to do was to do poorly. Especially if it were to engage some sort of acknowledgement from him. He had felt he had always done fairly well where it concerned his students and doubly so where it concerned his favorites. But before David had much more time to think, he saw the scars and fresh wounds over Vol's arms.
The teacup fell to the floor as Vol cut into his arm, a noise of exclamation eescaping David before Vol gripped him and he felt like he was being sucked through a straw and microwaved. But then it was over, and he took a breath. Confusion, but not at what had happened, at the fact that Vol was capable of it was clear across his face. Looking around it all seemed so very vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place it.
"When are we, Voluntis..."

Voluntis could barely make out the sound of the crash from the teacup on the floor as he pulled his, unknown to David, father back to the date of conception. The Corvus boy looked over to the head of house before putting a little more pressure onto the carved out date. This one was going to permanently scar over his skin.
"April ninth, almost seventeen years ago." He held out his arm to show David, even while it was oozing blood. '04.09.1999A' Some of the other dates that were on his arm were '10.08.2016B/C/D...etc'. In other words the most recent that were etched into his skin happened to be today's date. "We're nearly seventeen years back in time and you're asking me how my thesis is coming..." Volu chuckled and shook his head before pulling his sleeve down on his left arm, then looked over to his watch around the wrist on his right.
"Three...two.... don't worry they can't see you." He said softly as he looked up and gestured to his mother, Sera and his father... David exchanging funds. "Do you remember her now?"

David looked around, still reeling from the fact that Voluntis was capable of things that had all but faded from the memories of the Wizarding world. Looking to Voluntis' arm he noted how deeply carved and how often, todays date, the present date, seemed to be, and pieces began to fall into place.
He truly had no comment, because yes, he had been asking about his thesis. But he had had no idea that it was not the cause for Vol's unrest. David was only vaguely aware of Vol counting down, and looked as he gestured. Seeing himself was something oddly sobering. People rarely got to see themselves in anything other than mirrors or pictures, yet there he was, watching himself in the flesh, making an exchange with a woman who was mere shadow of memory.
"Do you remember her now?"
The words brought him back from his staring, ringing back to the question Vol had asked beforehand. The question of whether he remembered Voluntis' mother. It was at that point that quite a few things became astoundingly clear. The main, and most important one being..."You're my son..." The words felt foreign on his tongue, unusal and strange. But the dates added up, and David had barely been in his twenties at the time, so protection hadn't exactly been his first thought when enlisting the services of a whore.
There mannerisms, their mentalities, even down to the fact that his favor of Voluntis far outweighed it for any other student, all would have been indicators. But the fact remained that David had never known. Sera had never contacted him again, nor did he contact her. Seventeen years and he had never known. "Voluntis, I'm so sorry...I..I had no idea..." the words left him quietly.

Perhaps he shouldn't have brought him here. Perhaps he should have just told him that he was his father, but he also wanted to show him what he was capable of. Voluntis looked up at him and rubbed his arms. The way he said it was a mixture of fear and confusion. Shaking him to the core as he didn't know how to respond to that with anything but a nod.
Was David going to abandon him now that he knew? Voluntis had no idea, but the fact that he found out that the one person he had wished to be his father actually was, it was perfect. Vol's pale blue eyes moved to catch David's and he shrugged.
"Voluntis, I'm so sorry... I... I had no idea..."
Breathing out he gave him a soft smile. "Neither did she. I think she slept with a number of other men the same week, but they didn't make sense. None of them shared qualities with me. Save for you. You don't need to be sorry, and I'm sure if she knew she wouldn't have told me anyway. Fear of losing out on tax breaks for having a child."
The perks of being intelligent, really. It was easy for Voluntis to break down reasons people did things. Though they weren't always right, and when he was younger it got him into a lot of trouble, they were accurate enough to make a half-assed assumption.

IT had taken him a moment to digest the information, long enough to where he noticed the silence from Voluntis. David wasn't the warmest of people by any means, and he was sure that that had caused the young man to think that he was upset, or even angry with finding this out.
But he wasn't. He was quite the opposite actually. David had always had a fondness for Voluntis. And to find out that he was his son, David found himself actually quite...happy.
He listened as Vol explained, his eyes moving back to the building as a sudden frustration came over him. He remembered what the inside had looked like, what the woman was like. He was certain it had not improved since and for Vol to be living in such circumstances. "Would you like to live with me? I don't mean some...weekend agreement with her. I mean permanently. You would never have to come back her if you didn't want to.."
It was quite an offer, and a surprising one at that, even to David himself. But he meant it. template by Sammy @ Adox 2.0 |

Breathing out, Voluntis gave him a smile and watched as David faced the building. It wasn't pretty, rather, it was run down and pretty much not livable. By any means. Brothels weren't a place to raise a boy, but he had managed to make money playing his cello in the foyer over the summer. It was a sultry business that his mother worked in, she was good at what she did, but most of her money was spent elsewhere, pleasing men and women a like.
Then David had offered him a place to live, a clean and safe place. His heart thunked in his chest softly, he was nervous and it wasn't something that he thought David would have offered and he looked to his feet tugging on his fingers softly.
"You... wouldn't mind?" Voluntis looked up at David. Of course he wouldn't. The two of them were as sterile and clean as an operating room. "I..." the boy swallowed and shifted his lips as he stood there taking a deep breath in again. "I would like that very much."
