sirius running away regulus pov
2 August 1975, summer before regulus 5th year
regulus was scared of his mother,his father and his whole family. They all held this sort of power that regulus never had. many of them never thought that they ever did anything wrong. it was always somone other then them, that where the reason they did stuf. Regulus was scared that one they he would turn into them. he didn't want to be like them. He wanted to be more then just a black. He wanted to be himself. But in house where everyone was the same, it was scary to be something other then that perfect mold. Only a few people dared to step up aginst them
His oldest cousin Andromeda had done it. She had fallen in love with a mud- muggelborn. regulus was trying not to use those terms, that his mother allways called them. But it was hard. But andromeda had done that and more. She had married ted tonks, not some casy fullblood that her parents picked for her. Andromed had stood up to the monsters that where the black's, and had stepped away from all of them. Regulus thinks that he wants to be like her, but it is hard tomake the change now. The only other person that had ever been diffrent other then her, is still here, sitting across from his at the tabel.
Sirius, regulus older brother. For many years they where bestfriends, they where allways with the other. never one seen with out the other, and regulus had loved it. But ever since sirius had gone to hogwarts they here no longer bestfriends. No, that place was taken by 3 boys, and regulus would never get it back. He rembers that day that sirius came home from hogwarts. the smile on his face, and rembers having the same on on his. But as the day would go on it would begine to fall away, as sirius went on and on about his new bestfriends. How great they all here, and where they came from. the name "james potter" was said alot in the black house that day. He rembers going back to his bed, and all he could hear in his head, was sirius calling them his best friends. What about regulus, did he mean nothing to sirius anymore? he rembers the tears that fell down his face, when thinking about the fact that he no longer had a best friend. Ever since then they where nver the same.
"regulus did you hear" regulus was snapped out of his head at the osund of his mothers voice. It was sharp, like a knife cutting the air.
" sorry, mother" he said looking down. " sorry, regulus, sorry, that is just not goog enough" his mother said looking at him agin like she could hurt him just by looking at his. And it did hurt, but only because he knew what came next." mabye i should teach you a thing or two, about not listing to me at dinner. belletrix would you please" Regulus whole body went nomb at the thought of what was to come. "ohh, mother dearst, please he was just tired of listing to bella go on and on about her new marrige" sirius said with a smirk on his face." what did you just say boy" there mothers anger turend from regulus to sirius. Like it always did, even tho sirius pain would be far wors then the one she would put on regulus. "i think you heard me just fine you ol-" his sentence was cut of by scream, as there mother cast her cutting spell. " how many times do we have to do this, sirius" she cut his skin after every word. A pained sound came out of sirius. " until you die, you old ugly bitch" sirius said spitting. " you know what it i think i have had enough of you" she said not giving the boy anymore cuts. " blood is not enough for you" she looked at him with som much hate, that regulus thinks that sirius might even be a little scared and sirius is never scared of ther mother
" come at me you old bi- CRUCIO!" it sound all over the room, along with loud scream of pain that came out of sirius. Regulus could not look away from there mother as the word rained on his brother agine and agine "crucio, crucio" he is sure he will never forget the sound of sirius sream. It was so loud, but grew more and more quit. It was the worst sort of pain that reulus would ever feel. That sound was to much, and he need it to stop. "mother please" he said pulling him slef free of bellatrix grip. But before he mad it to his brothers side, he feelt it.
A sort of pain that went deep into his gut. It made him fall down on the floor in pain. It feelt like to much. " you dare question you mother" he head his father speak, but feelt like it was far way. in other univers, because of that oain. Not only his own but the one he could hear, and see of his brother. It was all to much, and he need it to stop. But it just wnt on and on. He saw bellatrix step over to sirius, and for a momment he thought she would help. Until she saw the knife. He tried to get up and help, but the pain pulled him down. He saw the knife cut long lines on sirius skin. he felt the pain drag him deeper and deeper down. Until it was all to much for regulus, and he feelt his i eyes fall shut, and all stopped. The sound, the pain and the hurt in his heart. He was just there. He didn't know how long he was out for, but it must have been sometime. Because when he opend his eyes what greated him was the worst in his life.
He saw sirius cureld into a little ball sobbing. everyone elles was gone, only the two of them. Regulus tried to get up, but fell back on the floor. Everything hurt. He tried to get up agin, and this time he got up on his hands and knees. He slowly got to his feet, even if it hurt every part of his legs. Regulus made it over to his brother, and tried to turn him over. When he did, he wish didn't.
Sirius face was corved in blood, and tears where still runing down his face. Regulus could feel him shake under his hands, like he was about to start crying. And at the sigt of his brothers face, regulus knew that there was only on thing to do. Sirius had to get out of this house no matter what. He knew it would mean he would be all alone, but he would do anything for sirius." regulus, i am not staying anymore" his brother voice was hores as it came out. And where regulus had wanted to say yes to it, now he just wanted to scream no. He knew that he was being shelfish, but he would miss his brother too much. But as he thought it over it would make sence for him to try and stop sirius, so he would stop talking to him. Because this way there would be less of a chance of there mother finfing out, where sirius had gone.
" no sirius, please" he said, just a little shake in his voice.
" look, reg, we can do it togheter" he said puling him self up with a groan.
" no i cant leave, they are our partents" regulus said still on his knees.
" ohh, you can leave mother dearst" he said with a mocking tone in his voice" well fine stay, and turn into mommy's perfect little pet" with does word that stung regulus almost as much as the curs of there mother, sirius got up. He took one last look at regulus, before turning on his heal and walking out.
Regulus stayed on the floor, for god knows how long. He thought he heard the front door open, but it might just have been nothing. He was barley even there anymore, he felt his body go num. He feelt all will to life leave his body, along with his brother. he just wanted it too stop. Regulus had always been good at not cryning, but right now all he could do was cry, cry and cry. He was not sure how long he stayede there, but he mussede have past out at some point. Because next time he woke up he was in his bed, and kreacher was by his side.the fist word he heard wher
" good, you are awake, master regulus. You must go get ready for your heir meeting" and with that kreacher was out of the room, with a snap. regulus feelt him shelf go even more numb if he was even abel to. He had really left. Then he heard sirius words in his head all over again, like they where making fun og him
“ regulus, i am not staying anymore”
“well fine stay, and turn into mommy's perfect little pet"
guess this was his new life as heir, now that sirius was no longer there. regulus took a deeb breath and got up
