"You think I wanted any of this shit?!" Adhara yelled, "I'm sorry that mother tried to use me, I'm sorry that my existence offends you, I'm sorry that you hate me, because I never tried to make it that way!"
"You sure? Cause it really seems like it!" He shouted back me, glaring at her.
"You can say that all you want just to pretend like I don't care about you"
Adhara's eyes quickly glance over to Barty, who's on his phone, probably texting James and Sirius so they can come save this petty argument that happens atleast once every month.
"You don't! You only care about yourself you narcissistic son of a bitch!" Regulus yells. "I should be saying the same to you, you wanker!"
--------------------------‐-
Sirius was laying down on the couch in the common room, his head laying in Remus's lap and ranting as his boyfriend reads a book, flipping the page with one hand and holding his hand with the other as he gets a ping on his phone, a message from Barty.
"Come to the dorm, Addie and Reg are fighting again"
He puts his phone in his pocket, ready to go with James to split them up.
"Rem?" He asks, looking up at Remus "Yes love?" He says, still looking at his book "Got to go help Barty with Ads and Reg, I'll see you later" He says, getting up as Remus presses a kiss to his forehead. "Alright, love you" "love you too" he says, going over and tapping James on the shoulder, who was sleeping.
"Mm... huh? I'm awake, I'm awake. What's up Pads?" He says groggily "Ads and Reg are fighting again, we gotta go split them up" He says as James gets up, grabs his wand from beside him to stuff in his pocket, and they start walking to the dungeons.
"-narcissistic son of a bitch!" He hears Regulus's voice yell as he and James walk in on a yelling Adhara and Regulus having a fight, Barty in the corner on his phone.
"I should be saying the same to you, you wanker!" Adhara yells.
James goes over to Regulus, holding his hands and attempting to calm Regulus down as he goes over to Adhara, who's eyes are slightly glassy and red.
"Shut up you cunt-" He hears Regulus yell, before James puts his hand over his mouth and Regulus glares at him
"You absolute fucking arsehole-" Sirius puts a hand on her mouth and if looks could kill, he'd be dropping dead.
"Addie, let's get you somewhere where you can calm down, yeah?" He asks, though it's not a question, Adhara puts her middle finger up at him in response and he has to hold back a laugh.
He lead (dragged) Adhara out of the room, taking his hand off her mouth and leading her down the halls, eventually getting to the room of requirement.
Take me somewhere she can calm down. He thinks, and a second later a door opens and they walk in to see a dark room illuminated by warm fairy lights, soft beanbags and pillows scattered around the room.
She immediately jumps onto a beanbag and grabs a nearby pillow, burying her face and screaming into it. Sirius sat down beside her and quickly texted Remus.
"In the ror rn, Addie's screaming into a pillow rn so it might be a while"
He sends it and puts the phone in his pocket, facing his sister.
"What happened Ads, that's the third fight this month" He says as Adhara resurfaces from the pillow, her eyes damp and red. "He said that my o-only purpose i-in life w-was to be mo-other's s-s-slave" She hiccupped, sobbing into his shoulder. "And what did you say?" He asked, even though his sister was seen as emotional and anxious, she could come up with some nasty insults. "I-I-I don't w-want to say i-it" she said quietly.
"C'mon Addie, it can't be that bad" "I said th-that I w-was happy he- he- that he-" she started hyperventilating "Hey, hey, Ads, it's fine, you don't have to tell me right now! Just breathe, ok?" He started taking deep breathes for her to copy.
After a few minutes she had calmed and a box of tissues had appeared. "Now, what did you say?" He said "I told him I was happy he got disowned... but its not true! Mother has gotten worse after he left" She said quietly, her voice breaking.
"Adhara, I know you don't want to, but I need you to show me your arms" He said, he didn't want to have to do it, but he knew he had to. She looked up at him with fear in her eyes as she reluctantly started to hold out her arms, looking away as he gently rolled up her sleeves.
He had seen scars and cuts on her arms, but never this many. There were at least 50 fairyly-new cuts on her arms as her eyes started to water "Please don't be mad..." she whispered. "No, no, no Addie, I'm not mad, I promise you. But this just confirms my plans to get you to James's house. You'll be safe there" He said, rolling her sleeve back down and planting a kiss on her forehead
"You'll be safe there"
-------------------
The moment James and Regulus got back to James' dorm and the door was closed, he collapsed onto the door, sobbing as James caught him when his knees buckled.
"Hey Angel, I promise it's OK, yeah?" His boyfriend said as he felt himself being lead to James' bunk and he heard James close the curtains.
He cried into his boyfriend's chest as he muttered things to him as he peppered kisses all over his hair "Love, neither of you meant it it's ok, yeah?"
Eventually, he stopped crying and he laid there, his forehead pressed against James's "What happened, what'd you guys say to start that?"
He looked up, his eyes filled with guilt as James looked at him reassuringly. "It was bad, wasn't it?" He said and Regulus nodded.
"I promise you it's fine, just tell me" James said, kissing his forehead. "I said that her only purpose in life was to be mother's slave..." He said quietly, looking into his boyfriend's eyes for traces of disappointment, surprisingly, there was none.
"Darling, it's alright, it was a spur of the moment thing'" "James, I don't think she's ok... you know how it got worse after Sirius left?" James nodded "Well, when we were fighting, her sleeve rolled up and I saw... cuts.... dozen of them just on her wrist." He said, starting to cry again. "You know, your sister is always welcome in our house, we need to get her out of there." He said as Regulus buried his face in James's neck. "It's not your fault that she's in there, ok? We can get her out"
"Please"
He said quietly
"Please get her out"
