The Meeting.
{Sirius’s POV}
The light of the mornings pierced trough the curtains, the birds outside chirping on the roof of the Place.The warmth of the Sunlight covered my face as i woke up.It was a perfect day.For others.In this house, it never was.
I got up from bed and started to stretch because i was sore.My mouth felt dry and i wanted to go downstairs but i was afraid my mother and father were there.I rub my eyes and look at the closed, wooden door.I was thinking twice about it.
After a few seconds, i decided to go downstairs anyway.What can possibly go wrong?It’s morning anyway.I yawn as i walk to the door and open it.Regulus was standing in front of the door.He looks at me with a small smile.
”Good morning..” After his voice it was clear he just woke up.I smile back at him. “Morning Reg.How’re you?How’ve you slept?” I wanted to make sure that he slept good because i didn’t want him to be alone if he had bad nightmares.He was only eight after all, I couldn’t let him go trough things when he’s young.
”I’m good.I slept like a log after yesterday’s trip to Diagon Alley.” He chuckled, but the chuckle was half forced.My smile faded a bit but not completely.I raise my hand and ruffle his hair. “We should go down to dinner, or our parents will be mad probably and it’s too early in the morning for me.” I patted Regulus on the back and walked down the stairs.
He followed me downstairs, but he looked a bit tired and maybe scared?I don’t know but he’s acting weird.We got downstairs and i walked to the Kitchen to get a glass of water, Walburga with Andromeda and Narcissa were there, and a tall, long blond hair man. he was dressed in all black.Orion was sitting next to Walburga.
I was confused on who is he and what’s he doing here.I look at Narcissa, who looked almost on the verge of collapsing and cry.I got more confused at that and look at Walburga. “Who is he..?” My voice was quiet so i didn’t sound ‘Disrespectful’ as she says.She shots me a look and speaks up after she looks back at Narcissa and the man. “This is Lucius Malfoy, your cousin’s soon to be husband.”
That was..wow.
I was surprised, and a bit annoyed.Regulus appeared behind me, he probably heard what our mother said, and he was just as surprised. Narcissa was the second best cousin, and now she was getting married?Did she even know this guy?Did she even have a say in this decision?This was a mess.And a bit sad because i know she would leave.
Walburga looked at me and raised one of her eyebrows. “Sirius.. Shouldn’t you be dressed up?You should be at the Hogwarts train station in less than two hours.” Her voice was cold and stern like always, and it sent shivers down my spine and probably it terrified even Regulus.
I look down.I sigh and nod. “Yes..mother..i will go dress up and pack my Hogwarts things..” I was a bit annoyed but didn’t comment so i just walked back upstairs.Fucking bad luck.I went downstairs for nothing.I can’t even drink water because she was there.
After i entered my room, i slammed the door after me.Merlin i was mad.I walked to my wardrobe to take out my clothes and the robes i have to pack.I walk to my bed, crouch down and take a big luggage from under my bed. I put it on the bed and open it. Then i start to put my robes, my wand and my robes that i need for Hogwarts. After i was finished, i close the luggage and then take the clothes i had to wear and walk to the mirror.
I strip down from my current clothes and look myself in the mirror. I was only in my boxers, looking at my body in the mirror. I wasn’t the most attractive 11 year old boy, but i wasn’t that bad.I did look, kind of a lot.. like my father, which i hate that about me, but i didn’t care.
I sighed and started to put on the clothes i had to wear.After i was dressed up, i went to my bed and took the shoes i had to wear and put them on.I ran a few hands trough my hair, to make it look better, and i was done. I was wearing a pair of very baggy pants, a long ass hoodie with a band on it, and some black shoes.I took my luggage and walk out of my room.
I look around and then walked to the stairs and carefully walked downstairs because the luggage was heavy and if i made a wrong step i would have fallen.I come to the end of the stairs and lean against it, waiting for my father and Mother to go to the Hogwarts train station.
{Regulus’s POV}
I watched as Sirius came down from his room. I was sad that he had to leave, and annoyed that i couldn’t do anything about it. I will very miss him, but i know it’ll be better for him there than Here.
I walk up to him once he got down. “Hey..” My voice was quiet so our mother wouldn’t hear us. “Hey Reg..How are you?” He tried to be positive again.I sigh and before i could say anything i hugged him tight.
He was still for a bit, then he hugged me back tighter. “I will miss you..Siri..” i whispered to him as i tried to hold back tears. I could hear his breathing getting heavy and the sigh that left his mouth. “I will miss you too Reg..so much..” His words were reassuring, but not enough.
Walburga’s footsteps came down the hall, we pull away so when she came back she won’t see us hugging. She and Orion walked in the room and nodded to Sirius. “Everything with you?” Her cold voice echoed trough the room as Sirius nodded.He didn’t dare to speak. Walburga hums in appreciation. “Then let’s go..Regulus, you stay home.” I look at her with a sad expression.So I couldn’t see my own brother leave? “Yes..mother..”
Sirius looked at me with an apologetic look, knowing how i felt.Then, they all three walked to the front door and left.
{Sirius’s POV}
After some time of walking, we arrived at the train station and walked trough the enchanted wall and arrived at Hogwarts Express.A lot of wizards and witches were there, many already boarding. I sigh shakily as me and Walburga with Orion started to walk to where the compartments for first class were.I nod to them and entered the train as they stood outside.
I was supposed to go to the first class cabins, but went to the regular ones.All the compartments were full, so i went at one with three people in it.A boy with dirty blonde hair, reading a book and wearing a sweater, the other was wearing round glasses, had messy hair and a bronze skin, and the last boy was a little round boy with some acnee.
I knock on it since it was a bit open. “Hey uh..the others are full.. can i sit here?” I was a bit shy to ask since i didn’t really met any boys my age, and the dirty blonde boy was kind of cute. The one with round glasses smiled. “Yeah, sure.Sit next to him if you want.” He pointed to the guy with blonde hair. I smiled a bit and walk in the compartment and put my luggage up to where the others were and sat next to the boy.
The one with round glasses looked at me and with a excited smile, he extended a hand. “I’m James, James Potter.” I smiled more when he told me his name and shook his hand. “I’m Sirius.Sirius Black..” The boy with round glasses who presented himself with the name James, didn’t seem to know who i am by my last name.
James points to the blonde guy. “That’s Remus, he’s kinda quiet since he entered,” he paused and looked at the bit round boy. “This is Peter, he’s kinda shy but he’s nice.” I was happy that someone actually talked to me with out judging me for my family.I nod after he said their names.
Remus, who was quiet as James said, looked at me and smiled a bit as he looked back at his book. “So.. Black, you related to the House of Black or just another one?” His voice was quiet and i found it cute. I snap out of it when he put the question and sigh.
”Yes, unfortunately.I am from the House of Black if you want to know.” Maybe i said it a bit too rough because he looked away and his smile turned a bit down. “Hey, i’m sorry i snapped.. it’s just a bad subject for me.” I tried to sound convincing. He looked at me again and chuckled.He leaned to me and rested his chin on my shoulder. “Don’t need to apologise, it’s okay.”
This was too close.Too close yet i liked it. I didn’t blush because i didn’t want to show any weaknesses, so i simply replied, but with a small bit of flirting. “Huh.. that’s weird.Coming from someone gorgeous as you i thought you would be mad at me.” His face got immediately red and James started to laugh.
This is gonna be a fun Ride.
