A/N: My fav character from HP series has annoyingly small number of but I adore his silver tongue and his style (sigh). So … here comes my Phineas Nigellus' Series. This isn't the first fic I've written but the first I've ever written in English and put online.

He's always wanted a life till infinity – it was his maxime, of course together with his family's moto Toujour pur. A neverending life is quite common Slytherin ambition.

But he had rather devoted his life to socially visible career (Headmaster) than being a social nobody, a labo-rat in alchimistic laboratory. So he didn't manage to make his own Philosoper's stone.

Thanks to his prominent career itself he got to know his future wife. Ne had no more heart of a stone and his new philosophy was the love till death.

A/N: I know the noble and most ancient family in Phineas' times still bore the name 'Nigellus' but 'Black' fits into many plays on words.
