Inherit the Ashes

Corvus L'estrange VII grows up in a house where blood matters more than love.His parents hate him for reasons beyond his understanding, his name doesn't feel like it should be his, and he is desperately, desperately, alone.Who is the silent servant he can't seem to forget? Why can he speak to snakes? Why does he suddenly like looking at Scorpius so much?And what does that missing Potter kid have anything to do with it?

A short little prologue to get things ready! As it stands I've got a few thousand words of an outline and not much actual text written, but so many ideas!Please do not underestimate the tags, this fic will have discussions of some rather severe child abuse and implied sexual abuse of various characters.The original idea for this story comes from the missing Potter by underworld asp on fanfiction.net, and there are a handful of worldbuilding ideas in here I admit freely are not completely original, so kudos to anyone who can see them before I point them out!
