meeting again
august 17 1975
regulus was still getting used to the whole being the new heir thing. There was alot more stuff then one would think. Regulus had never really heard sirius talk about any of this, but maybe that was because sirius hatedet to talk about anything todo with there family. Regulus had learned alot, like how one was to act, talk, sit. Who he was to talk to at parties. And boy didi regulus haveto go to alot of them. In the past he could often get to not go, because of him only being the spare. But now he was there full on heir. So he had to go to all those parties. Regulus knew that this would happen when sirius left, but he never really thought about how many things sirius did as an heir. And he had his whole life to learn how to be in the spotlight, but regulus was just pushed into it. and unlike sirius he was not a person that likes the spotlight to be on him.
Regulus had spend his whole life in the back of the house of black. When his mother was then all over him, not his brother. Well to say that regulus was new to this thing was not a lie. But soon he would be back at beauxbaton with his 2 best friends. Maybe this would be the year they went on a date after years of fliting. Regulus was so tired of them moving around each other like they had no feelings for each other. But then coming a talking for hours about the other to regulus. He was so done.
Regulus had also made other friends, being the heir and all. Evan rosier was the heir to the house of rosier. They and the house of black where apparently where good friends, and they have a lot of marrieds in there family. Evan was a white haired boy with dark skin, and piercings in bother ears. Even if they where out at parties, he had regulus had seen one and other at other place. Here evan went from a proper pureblood heir, to a cool ass boy that regulus really liked. Evan also liked him much more then he had liked sirius.
Then there was pandora rosier, evan twin sister. She was actually the older by 10 minutes, but evan being a boy he got to be the heir. She never let him live that down. She had hair down to her waist and often had some of it braid in some way. She was always wearing some sort of charms in her hair. Tho pandora almost never went to the parties in the past, she had begun coming just to hang out with regulus. Pandora was bit weird, often talking about seer and all sort of muggle stuff. But regulus thought it just made her even more cool. That she never really cared about what other people thought about her.
Both of them went to hogwarts, and regulus got to learn all about what kind of stuff other people then sirius and his brother did. To the two twins the four of them could be a little bit to much some times. The pranks they played often not as funny, as sirius had made them out to be. They more just sound stupid. But he never realy gave that much of thought. Pandora talked about there other friends. One named dorcas meadows who sound very scary to regulus by the way pandora and evan talked about her. Evan talked alot more about there other friend, who was named barty crouch jr. By the way evan talked about the boy it sound like he was in love, and pandora had told him once that he was so in ove. Barty loved him back to, but they never did anything about it. Regulus could relate to pandora’s feelings about two people like that.
Right now regulus was sitting at his desk reading one of the many books that could be found around the black house. He had began reading many of them, to learn more about what his family was like. And then a loud SNAP sound around the room, and there was kreacher. “miss black has asked for you to join her and master black in the dining room”. regulus nodded and got up from where he was siting, kreacher already gone. As he began making his way down to the dinner room, he thought of what they could want. It was time for dinner so maybe it was just dinner, but then why did Kreacher not just say that. Plus they would be having a party tonight, so why eat before that.
Regulus felt his nerves spick up, when he saw the door to the dining room. He swore he could still see the blood of his brother's blood on the floor. Even if he knew that it was not there he swore he could see some darker spots on the floor. “ regulus, sit” his father said. He and his mother where sitting at one side of the table. Regulus pulled out the chair his brother used to sit in. He still felt of sitting in it.” what is wrong, father?” he said looking at is mother and father.
“ we have some news, that have to do with the school year coming up?” his mother said
“ what is wrong?”
“seeing as you are now the heir, we need you closer to home. Therefore this school year, you will start your 5th year at hogwarts” his mother went on, but regulus could barley hear anything. Hogwarts? that would mean his brothers school, and seeing him alot more then before. He thought about it, and he hated the idea. But he knew that there was nothing he could do about it. Regulus tried to look at the positive, like he would be going to school with evan and pandora. He would get to meet dorcas and barty, see what they where like. Regulus knew he was going to miss the friends he had made at his now old school. But still he would just have to get used to the idea of it. “But for now, go get ready. the first guest will be here in half an hour.” his mother said with a wave of her hand. Regulus gave a short nod, and left the room. He had a party to get ready for.
almost an hour went by before regulus saw pandora. Regulus made his way over to her as soon as his mother let him go. “hello pandora” he said walk up making her turn around. the girl had a big smile on her face, and it got even better when she saw him. “regulus, how are you? my god i like this suit!” regulus smiled at the girl and was about to answer, until an arm was going around his shoulders.” regulus how are you?” evan said while roffling his hair. “stop that- and im just fine. Tho i do have some news,so do you guys want to leave?”
“yes please” pandora said grabbing regulus hand and pulling the 2 boys out of the big ball room, and down a hall. This was what they always did when at this sort of things. They would fin one an another and then get the fuck out of there. All of them hated being there anyway, seeing as none of them had any way other of getting out of there.
“ let me” regulus said leading the other two up to the floor of his room. Past sirius room a little faster then the others. He had tried not to think about the room, ever since sirius had left. His mother and father had not done a thing about the room, so it would still look the same if all was right. Regulus opened the door to his room, that looked just like had left it. As the other 2 began siting down, pandora on the bed and evan taking the chair, regulus made his way over to the lose floor board. Regulus had a few things under that floor board that his mother would not want him to have. like cigarettes, alcohol and a few muggle things that sirius had given him. Also stuff like candy, books and letters from andromeda and narcissa. His mother liked to look at all letters that regulus got, so he had hidden this. Pulling out some of the candy, cigarette packets and a few bottles of alcohol.
“fuck yes, reg” evan said grabbing one of the bottles and oping it and taking a big gulp.
“your going to die, from alcohol poisoning soon” pandora said grabbing some of the candy boxes. “thanks reg” she said opening one up.
“first of no i wont pandora, second what did you need to tell us, reggie” evan said taking an another sip.
“ im going to hogwarts” regulus said while lighting one of the cigarettes. Evan spat out his sip, and began choking. Pandora, who had just taking a pice of candy into her mouth, opened it so big that the piece fell out. “ what” evan said still coughing. “ yeah now that i am the heir i need to got meet all of the famous heir’s in england” regulus said taking a drag of his cigarette.
“oh you are so fucked” pandora said, who never ever swore, while grabbing one of the bottles and taking a big sip.
“yeah, i am fucked” regulus said taking one more drag.
20 august 1975
Regulus walked trough the house, while getting everything ready. He would be going to shop for his school supplies. And he would get to meet barty and dorcas, as he would be meeting with the rosier twins. They had planed all the night of the party, and to his surprise his mother had agreed. Something about being seen with the right people and all that stuff. Regulus was pretty sure that his mother was just happy she didn't have to go with him. Also why did she act like evan and pandora were good influences on regulus. Well fuck if he knew why she thought that.
“Regulus, get in here” he heard his mother yell from the room inside of the room he was next to. He stepped into see his mother and father, next to the fireplace. In his mother’s hand was a pice of paper, that he guessed was the list of things he would need. “come on regulus, and don't talk to anyone. Cant have you talking to just anyone. Now go” his mother told him handing him a little bag of money, and the list of his new school supplies. “yes mother” he said stepping into the fireplace with the fire and saying diagonally. He saw his mothers face and then nothing for a few seconds.
Next he was stepping out in to a little shop, and the he was pulled into a stong hud. “regulus how are you!” it was pandora, and he got a small smile on his face. “hello pandora, im good, wheres-” regulus didn't get to finish his sentence, when he was pulled toward a group. he could see evan turn around, but also two people he didn’t recognized. Tho he would assume that it was barty and dorcas, seeing as they looked very know by the others.
“dorcas, barty this is regulus, regulus this is barty and dorcas” pandora said pointing between them. “hello” the two said at the same time. “now why dont we get reg here some new robes” evan said. “what the fuck have i said about that nick names” regulus said as they walked out.
Regulus had never been in diagonally, but sirius had told him about it. Sirius tho had not done it justice of how pretty the whole thing was. The many shops all over looked way to pretty for the way sirius had talked about them. But then again sirius had just wanted to talk about james, and all of his new friends. There was never really time to talk about anything eles.
“so, your brother is sirius black?” barty asked swing an arm round regulus. he regulus tried and failed to push the arm of him. “yeah, what of it?” he asked with the tone of voice that made it sound like he hatedet talking about this. And he of course did. “ nothing wrong with it mate, just never knew he had a brother” barty said with a lasy smile on his face.
He didn't know that sirius had a brother, he didn’t know. Regulus tried to tell himself that it was maybe because of how little slytherins and gryffindors talked, but then again. He thought about how sirius friends had acted on the platform, all of thoes years ago. They had looked like they barley had any idea of who he was. Had sirius not told them who he was, but that owel head sent mut have been something. Regulus himself had a picture of the two of them on is night stand, and he had thought that sirius had too. But if most people had no idea of who he was, or even that sirius had a brother? did sirius not talk about him at school? Regulus him self had told many stories from the letters, to his dorm mates. Yet, sirius dorm mates had no idea of who he was
“regulus, hello, we here” pandora’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts. and as regulus looked up, they stood in front of a giant building with a robes painted on the front. it looked so pretty that regulus was taken back. For a moment he just stood there until, he was pulled in by pandora. then just as he took his first step he heard it.
“no sirius, you can not get pink school robes” a voice said, and as the turned the corner he saw a woman with dark orange hair. “but why not effie” sirius voiced complained. “minnie will kill you mate.” a new voice cut in, and regulus turend and holly shit. There on a little stool was the most beautiful boy regulus had ever lad his eyes on. He had messy dark hair, and glasses that looked like he had dropped them a million times before, with all of the cracks in them. His arms, ohh his arms, they where so pretty. not like regulus arms wich where skinny and fin, no his arms where bulkey and they looked fucking strong. how regulus wanted to be held by them.
“oh shit” came loud enogh from even, for the group( regulus now noticed the two other boys) turn around. sirius looked into regulus eyes, and he got this sort of look on his face, and then he said” regulus, what are you doing here”
