The Letter.
{Sirius’s Pov}
Blood was running down my nose and mouth..
I was punished..Again.Regulus was crying..with my limp body in his arms.What could be worse than your Mother punishing you with the cruciatus Curse?It was Hell.What made her stop?it was the mail.My Hogwarts letter finally arrived.I didn’t know that, but i was to know when i wake up.
After hours of being passed out, it wasn’t something new, to be passed out for hours after Torture.I was awake, the blood on my white shirt was dried, Regulus was sitting at the end of the bed, looking at me with worry.I sat up, groaning in pain.The letter was on my nightstand, but didn’t notice it from the headache.
“Sirius!You’re okay! thank Merlin you’re okay..” Regulus immediately wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tight.I was in pain from the hug, but i didn’t want to hurt his feelings so i hugged him back.
”Y-yeah..i’m okay i think..How long was i passed out for..?” i asked after he pulled away, the worry in his eyes didn’t falter and it made my heart broke at him being so concerned about me.It wasn’t new for the torture, but he was always concerned after one of these.
”You were passed out for long enough..three or four hours..” he paused, looking at the nightstand and then back at me. “You did get an mail, your Hogwarts Letter arrived.”
I look at him, my eyes widening as i look at the nightstand.I immediately garb the letter and open it to read.
This is it.I’m finally gonna escape from this..Horrifying house for the year.It’s been nothing but torture.Our father hasn’t even said anything, just stood there and watched our mother Torturing me.It was the biggest Opportunity ever, and i loved it.The only problem was that there was a month to wait before i finally go to Hogwarts.
“Merlin’s beard..This is..finally..i’ll get out of this..crazy ass family.” i said with an excited voice.Regulus looks at me with a happy but sad face.I was gonna leave him.Yes, and it broke me to leave him with this crazy and pure blooded supremacists.I sigh and rub his arm. “Look, Reggie..i know i’ll be leaving you for the whole year, but i’ll come back in Holidays and for Summer Break..”
Regulus looks at me and smiles a bit. “i’ll miss you when you go to Hogwarts..it’ll be hell here..” he said as he hugged me tightly.
I chuckle and hug him back.I look down as i rubbed his back in a shooting way. “I’ll alway owl you when i’ll have time.. Don’t worry.”
Regulus sniffles and nods.He holds me tightly, almost afraid i would disappear if he let go. “Just..be damn careful and don’t get yourself killed.Okay..?” He was half joking and half serious.He pulls away and looks at me with a serious face.
I nodded and smile softly at him.I rub his arm and got up. “I’ll go change and wash myself because i’m full of blood.Can you seep with me tonight, Reg?I don’t want to sleep alone cuz i’ll get nightmares after the torture...”
He nodded and smiled.I walk to the bathroom connected to my room and once i entered i shut the door shut.
I walk to the sink and look in the mirror.The dry blood that was on my shirt and down my nose.I sigh as i turn the water on in the sink and let it run till it gets warm.I rub my eyes, feeling exhausted.I put my hand in the water, feeling the warm water against my fingers.Then i put both my hands in the water and splash water on my face and rub it to get rid of the blood.
I splash my face again and the blood was washed off.I turn the water off and then took off my shirt and throw it in the sink.Then walked to the Shower and stripped off naked and get in the shower.
I turn on the shower, the warm water sending chills down my spine.My hair got wet fast, the blood stains on my chest washing off.I sigh as i relax and lean against the shower wall.I started to think about whatever happened today.I wince at the thought of getting tortured again.
I push myself off of the wall and took the shampoo and put some in my hair then start to rub it in my hair, making it bubbly.Then i wash it all off.I stay a bit more in the water, contemplating life again.After a few more minutes, i turn off the water and walk out of the shower and took a towel and dry my body off.I put the towel in the sink and took one of my T-shirts and one of my short-pants.I dress myself up with them and then grab a hair tie and tie my long hair in a bun.
I walk out of the bathroom, and saw Regulus still sitting on the bed.He was spaced out.I walk over to him and sit next to him.
“hey Reg, whatcha thinking about?” I put an arm around his shoulders and pull him closer.
Regulus snaps out of it and sighs as he buries his face in my shoulder. “nothing..let’s just..go to sleep..please.”
I rub his back and then lay down on the bed and he lays down on the bed next to me.The light turns off magically and i close my eyes.
I hoped i would get a good night, because i was sleeping next to Regulus.
~~………~~
The sunlight creeped trough the curtains, shining on our faces.The light was too bright and pierced trough our eyelids.I yawned and woke up.I sit up as i look at Regulus, he was still Sleeping.I smile softly and then got up silently, not to wake him up, and walked to the window.
I look out the window, admiring the sunlight and the park in front of the house.It was the most Ancient and Noble House of Black, bad things happened in here and it makes my stomach churn in disgust.I rub my eyes and then took the hair tie out of my hair,letting my dark curls roll down.I run a hand trough may hair to make it look better.
The door swung open, Walburga entered and Kreacher was behind her with clothes in his hands.She looks at me and scoffs. “We’re going to Diagon Alley to get your books and everything you need.Get dressed.”
She turns to Kreacher “Kreacher, give Sirius his clothes and things and make sure he’s ready in 20 minutes.” She look back at me and then at the bed,Regulus was still sleeping. “And wake your brother up.He needs to come too.” She turns around and leaves, Kreacher enters the room and puts the clothes down. “Mister Black..you better get ready before Miss Black get angry..” he said in his raspy deep voice and leaves too.
I groan in annoyance and grab the clothes and then walked to the bed and shook Regulus gently. “Hey..Reg..wake up, it’s morning.” I whispered to him.
He groans as he opens his eyes and sits up.He looks at me and when he noticed the clothes in my hands he raised an eyebrow. “What’s with the clothes,Siri..?” He was confused as he gets up from the bed.
I sigh and rub my eyes. “We have to go to Diagon Alley to get everything for my Hogwarts year.” I responded with a himt of annoyance and happines.
Regulus rolls his eyes. “Did mother come to tell you?”
I nod my head and chuckle at his eye roll. “Imma go change, you can go change in your room too because mother wants us to look fancy.” I ruffle his hair and walk to the bathroom to change into the clothes that i presumed that Walburga picked out for me.
Regulus scoffs at the hair ruffling and then watches me go to the bathroom.He sighs and walks out of the room to go to his room.
{Regulus’s Pov}
I entered my room and shut the wooden door after me.I sigh and lean against the door.I was only eight years old, yet i knew more about life than most eight years old kids and only because of my parents.I was a but jealous of Sirius being my mother’s favourite amd The Heir of The House of Black.
I run a hand trough my hair and push myself off of the door and walked to my closet.I open the closet door and look trough it. After. A few minutes, i picked a black suit and took it out.I close the closet doors and put the suit on the bed and start to take off my clothes. After i remained only in my boxers, i start to put on my suit.It wasn’t new to wear a suit, since this is a fancy house and have to dress appropriately for our mother’s liking.
After i put on my suit, i look in the mirror to see how i look.I run my hands trough my hair, to fix it and make it look better. I took my rings and put them on my fingers.I kneel down to take my shoes from under my bed and put the on too.
After i was done, i open the door to my room and walk out.I see Sirius leaned against the door of his room, spaced out.I didn’t want to ask what he was thinking about because it would make it worse.Walburga came up the stairs and looks at me and Sirius. “Boys.. will you two come down to get going?” Her voiced sounded cold, and annoyed at the same time.
I look at Sirius and he snapped out of his bubble and nods to Walburga. “We will.” His voice was quiet, almost scared.
After Walburga walked back down the stairs, me and Sirius started to make our way down the stairs.At the end of the stairs, was Orion and Walburga, plus one of our cousins, Andromeda, was with us.
Orion had that cold looking gaze like always, while Walburga had her stern face and Andromeda had a soft smile.She was always the best cousin next to Narcissa.
“We will get going in a minute.Be ready because we will apparate and I don’t want any of you insolent children to throw up. Understood?” Her voice was more stern then her face.I nodded as Sirius shivered and Andromeda’s smile faded.
After a few seconds, we apparated directly in the inside of Diagon Alley.
Walburga looks down on the list. “First of all, we will need a wand for you,Sirius.”
Sirius nods and looks around.He was just a 11 years old, curious boy.He didn’t know much.Nor did i.
All four of us started to make our way to Ollivander’s to get Sirius’s wand.When we enter, we see many shelves, full of boxes with wands.Walburga and Orion walked to the front as me and Sirius remained behind them. Ollivander appears and smiles warmly.
“Ah,Miss and Mister Black..i see your oldest son got his letter to Hogwarts.Here to get his first wand ei?..” Ollivander’s voice aas cheerful, trying to lighten up the mood.
Walburga looks at Sirius andthem back at Ollivander. “Yes..yes he does.” She looks at Sirius and motioned for him to step forward.He steps forward so Ollivander could see him.
Ollivander smiled at Sirius. “Young Mister Black..you’re a copy of your father, i think i know just the wand for you.” Ollivander then disappeared behind the shelves of boxes.
Sirius was uncomfortable when Ollivander said that he looks like his father.He hated that.And i could see it.I could see the despise in his eyes.Sirius remained silent as he waited for Olilivander to return with the wand.
After a few more minutes, Ollivander comes back with a box.He opens the box and opens the box. “A wand of ebony wood and the core made of unicorn hair, 15 cm and very flexible..” he said as he handed Sirius his wand. “C’mon.Try it.”
Sirius sighs and takes the wand, then tries it and it is indeed the right wand. He sighs in relief.
Walburga nods to Ollivander and gives him the galleons for the wand and all of us 4 walk out of the shop, going for the next
