august 28th 1975
He woke up that morning as usual he was tired well more tired than usual he was tired most of the time these days. He had been up most of the night unable to sleep because his mother and brother had, had an hour long screaming match the night before. He hated how his brother always seemed to cause problems for himself and the family for no reason. The older sibling was loud and obnoxious never listening to their parents while the younger was quiet and obedient because the family couldn’t have two disappointments, could they? regulus thought to himself. He laid in bed that morning trying to fine the energy to get out of bed.
Until I heard a loud bang downstairs and voices arguing. But this time it was Sirius arguing with his mother it was his father. He jumped out of bed and started getting dressed. As soon as he was dressed, he rushed downstairs. his parents were in his father’s study. he couldn’t quit here what they were saying all he heard were the words new heir and his and his brothers’ names.
His heart dropped, that didn’t make any sense you only need to assign and new heir to the family if the oldest son had...
Regulus’s mind ran wild... he ran back upstairs to Sirius’s room it was empty. No Gryffindor posters on the wall. Non of Sirius’s clothes in the closet and the closet and most important of all no Sirius.
Regulus did hate his brother, but that didn’t mean he wanted him dead. Sirius was still his older brother his protector. The person whose protected him for the last 15 years. What had his parents done. He went back to his room to calm down he would find out what happened to his brother but not right now this second he was to overwhelmed.

Later that day he finally plucked up the courage to ask his mother what happened to Sirius and where he was.
“you will not be seeing your ungrateful blood traitor brother again regulus” his mother muttered as they sat at the dinner table He hadn’t seen his parents all day until dinner
“why where is he?” regulus asked curious
“that is non of your concern child” he father chimed in
“but-“ regulus was cut of before he could argue with a mouth ceiling spell
“go up to your room I don’t know why you think its acceptable to talk back to your parents, you will there until your heading back to school.” His mother shouted “do you understand” regulus nodded and headed up to his room not wanting any further punishment.
regulus had been in his room for five hours reading, sketching, writing trying to do anything but think about his brother. But the same voice kept creeping back into his head
is Sirius d-
no no no that cant… he cant be
regulus told him self. Going back to trying to distract himself as best as he could. Regulus stayed In his room doing as much as he could to distract himself from Sirius until the day he was supposed to be going back to school he got up in the morning got dressed got his trunk and just walked out not saying a word to his parents.
An hour later regulus arrived at kings cross he went to platform 9¾ he had almost missed the train. The boy looked around unable to see his brother anywhere he got onto the train looking for an empty compartment. But all the slytherin ones seemed to be full by then. He decided he just do laps around the train until he found one. but before he could even start walking
“reg?” a voice said behind him. Before he even turned around he knew who it was. He turned around to be sure
“Sirius… I though you were dead” regulus said trying to act as plain as he could he didn’t want Sirius to know he cared because he didn’t care he told himself but wasn’t true obviously he cared.
“dead? Why would you think that eh” he said walking up to him
“something mother said…” regulus stopped for a moment “where have you been.”
“why, did you miss me baby brother” Sirius said trying to put his arm around regulus’ shoulder who just ducked out of the way
“as if I would miss you.” He rolled at his eyes Sirius just smirked in reply” I’m just curious you kind of just disappeared last week” he tried not to seem to concerned for his brother
“they kicked me out, just fully disowned me” Sirius said plainly he was still smiling though regulus didn’t think that was something to smile about
“where have you been then just sleeping at kings cross?”
“at james’ he parents said I can stay there until I can get my own place” ofcourse he was staying at potters stupid perfect james potter had once again stole his brother from him.
“Bien sûr, vous avez séjourné chez Potters” the younger brother muttered under his breath. Rolling his eyes once again
“what’s that suppose to mean!” Sirius said defensive as always when regulus would say something about james
“nothing.. forget about it” he muttered again “anyway why did you get disowned”
“Umm… I don’t know guess they just got bored of my ‘antics’” Sirius said regulus could tell he was hiding something but he didn’t know what.
Regulus turned around and started to walk away. Until Sirius followed behind him again “where are you going” the older brother asked
“I’m trying to find an empty compartment” he replied seemingly annoyed
“there all full. I’ve already checked” Sirius stated “but you can sit with me and my mates”
“fine”
