Birthday wishes
It quiet and dark at the Black Manor
up stairs in the twins bedroom Regina turn in her bed on my left :
- Regulus ? tu dors ? she whispered
- hm, i mumble mouth close, eye shut and arms crossed on my cover.
- What did you wished for ? my sister asked me late at night.
I was 11 years old when I decided : I will, forever hate, James Potter.
First he was a gryffindor and not a slytherin. A random stranger on the train, but he chose to sit next to MY big brother, why did he do that ? And from that exact momment... Regulus knew, the rest of his story would be forever changed.
Sirius and him had plans, Hogwarts was supposed to be the place where Sirius would have introduced him to his friend as “Sirius little brother” Sirius said it would be that easy.
Then mid-september Regina opened the first letter of many : James Potter was all Sirius talked about in his letters.
He is a stranger in the same dorm as his brother. A dorm, Sirius and him planned to share
“Him and Sirius in the slytherin dorm, Regulus dreamed of it. But Sirius.. isn’t in slytherin, a fact their Mother won't let anyone forget.
Sirius said it was “just” one year “nothing can change in only six months, I promise you ” Regulus learn that making promises you can't keep, is bad. Nine months later Sirius proved him wrong, because today on the 23 of August, Regulus and Regina's birthday, Sirius was absent.
- i wished James Potter a decades of bad luck
- It’s not so nice to use your birthday wish on someone else like that Regulus.
Regina didn’t take my word with the sharp corner, but she didn’t laugh neither. I meant what I said, believed or not.
I was about to go on with 100 more reasons why I hate James Potter so much !
but she spoke again :
- i made 3 wishes. I frowned in the dark :
- it’s suppose to be just one, birthday wish regina
- not for me, i am giving myself the right to make one wish by alter.
- Why did you wish for than ?
“ should have asked her sooner”
- arakné wish : to be sorted in the same house as you next year
I can't help but notice that arakné didn't say in slytherin specificly. But i chose to not interrupt her.
halloween wish : to sing what she want
and… i wish that… mom would let you be a boy
mais peut-être qu’un seul will come true ?
“Regina... the better half of me, thank you, you waste a wish on me”
- Regina ?
- yes ?
- I give you my wish. You will make better use of it. If it can double your chance.
- It don’t work like that
- you make your own rules anyway.
- Sure
