Come On, Come On, Don't Leave Me Like This

August 12th, 1975
Grimmauld Place, Islington, London, England

Regulus was creeping up the stairs after sneaking downstairs for food after Orion and Walburga had gone to sleep, since he had been denied dinner that night for a prank Sirius had played on them with him. He stopped when he heard scuffling and rustling in Sirius' bedroom, slowly opening the door.

Sirius was shoving his things into his personalised trunk furiously, only turning around when he heard the door open. 'Reg-'

"What are you doing, Sirius?"

'I'm leaving. I'm not staying in this house another day.'

Regulus considered this silently for a moment before walking across the room, opening Sirius' wardrobe and taking out a coat. Sirius shut his trunk shut and felt his little brother help him into the coat. '..Bye Reggie.'

"Goodbye, Sirius."
