Chapter 1
The noble house of Black is one of the most ancient and pure familys and of course they want to stay like this. What a shame it would be, if someone breaks this history. Also every Black has been in Slytherin for centuries, maybe even thousands of years, until Sirius came to Hogwarts. Sirius is Regulus' older brother, the first born or the heir of the Blacks.
Regulus still remembers the day, when Sirius came back in 1971 for Christmas holidays. It was horrible, the screams and the crying.. He will never forget the way Walburga tortured his brother this way. Luckily Regulus didn't had to watch this mess, but he could imagine on how bloody this scene could have looked. He didn't see him for like a week, as Sirius seemed to be locked in his room. But of course he survived that. Sirius had this hobby to try to hide food in his room in case he gets locked in it for a longer time. He does this a long time, he also tried to make Regulus do it as well, but he was way to scared that someone saw it. Regulus just counted on his favorit houseelve Kreacher. He would always bring him something to eat or drink if needed. But it's really unlikely that he gets locked, as he tries to stay out of bigger trouble most of the time.
A year later in 1972, Regulus also started at Hogwarts, the best school of Magic he could have been accepted. His parents were at this school, his cousins were there, Sirius is there and he should now be there as well. He can't wait until he sais goodbye to his parents. He can't stand them even longer, arguring with Sirius or ignoring the older one. It's really annoying and tiring. On the other hand, his family brought him always some kind of comfort. Regulus has a disease. So.. he doesn't knows whats wrong with him. At the age of seven he was flying with his brother on their brooms as he fainted in mid air. From this day one his parents always let him be tested by a doctor. His parents never told him which sickness he has, they hid every little detail from him so he doesn't finds out.
"So. See you two next holidays. And Sirius, behave. You as well, Regulus. If not, then it will have consequenses."
Sirius and Regulus nod. Finally they were allowed to go. Sirius pulled Regulus though the train. It was so full of students. Smaller and older kids running around and the hallway being so thin. It's loud, its so loud, was all Regulus could think.
"Where are we going?" Little Regulus asks a bit nervously. "Oh, just searching my friends, they have to be- right there" Sirius opens a door to a compartment. His face broke out into a big smile.
"Sirius!" Regulus heard a voice from inside the compartment, he couldn't see in it, as he was standing behind his older brother. The voice sounded kind of exciting and pretty young, maybe this boy was a bit younger than Sirius. "James- how are you?" Sirius asks, smiling.
"I'm fine as always, you?"
"Yeah, me too. Where are Remus and Pete?"
"I haven't seen Remus yet, but Peter should be here any moment, he tries to get food from the food lady"
Sirius laughs at this. "Of course he does, always hungry. Come on Reggie, James won't bite you, sit down." The attention of his brother was on him again. Regulus slowly passed Sirius, who was standing at the doorframe. He sits down next to the door, infront of James.
Chocolate brown, curious eyes, looking down at him. Reg felt a bit scared, he hates being watched, but he just keeps quiet and looks out of the window. The next moment, a blonde kinda chubby boy walks in, his arms packed with sweets. "There he is" Sirius grins and ruffles through the blonde hair. Peter of course saw Regulus, but he ignored him, he was probably shy as well.
The younger Black boy tried to look busy so nobody would talk to him.
Finally, minutes later the last friend of Sirius arrived. Remus Lupin, a boy, maybe a bit smaller than Sirius, but taller than Peter. He has kind of wolfish features. The scars look pretty cool. Regulus never saw someone with such scars. He has scars too, but his are way more straight and a bit thinner. "Remiiii-" Sirius hugs the boy happily. "Woah- you act like we haven't seen us in twelve years."
"Yeah, felt like this actually. I mean, three months are a very long time." Sirius grins. They both sit down now as well.
"So everyone, that is my brother Reg. Say hi to them, Reggie. And maybe smile a bit, so they think you are nice."
Regulus makes a half attempted smile. "It's still 'Regulus', not Reggie" he hisses at Sirius. He felt James' eyes on himself. "Hello, Regulus. I am James. And that two handome lads are Remus and Peter." James speaks with a kind of charming grin. "Pleasure." the younger boy answers coldly. "Sweet" James chuckles.
"Regulus, be nice." Sirius tells his brother. "I don't want to be here" the young boy whines. "Oh, come on love, stay here." James grins and Regulus proceeds if he should rather strangle him or hit him. "I am not your love."
"Regulus, behave now." Sirius says annoyed. James is the type of person, that calls literally everyone 'love'. It can be kinda sweet, if you like a boy that is like a golden retriever.
Regulus would rather be somewhere else now. Maybe with his cousins. He stands up, trying to sneak past his brother, but gets catched. "Regulus. Stay." The young boy shakes his head. "No. I dont want to meet your friends, I already hate them!" he earns a soft slap on his arm. He winces and flinches away. "Sorry- Reg-" Regulus leaves fast, walking through the hallway. Most compartments are full, thats why he can't find an empty one. He searches for his cousins. His one cousin, Narcissa, told him before in which compartment she will be. He finds it and knocks with a shaking hand, he hopes that not much people are there. A girl opens the door, maybe in Narcissa's age.
"Who is it Ally?" Regulus hears Cissa's voice. "Isn't that your cousin?" the girl at the door asks and Narcissa looks at Regulus. "Yes, he is. Regulus, come in." Reg gets pulled on her lap, Bellatrix being there as well.
