It's a month and a half into the summer holidays, Sirius Black has been trying to put up with Waburga and Orion but they keep going on about him taking the death eaters mark, or the dark mark.
He doesn't want to reason 1 since he's not even of age and reason 2 and most Importantly he would never betray himself or his freinds like that.
Tonight his cousins Narcissa and Bellatrix are coming over with their husband and fiance. His aunt Druella and uncle Cygnus is also coming over.
This seems a bit odd then he remembers that his family is as odd as they could get.
It's now 6:30 in the evening and he is to go and greet the guests with Regulus.
First Bellatrix who just smiles at them, a weird and crazy smile.
Then Narcissa who asks them how they are, they both have always loved Narcissa.
Then aunt Druela who just glanced at them.
And lastly uncle Cygnus who walks with them to the dining room, asking about school and talking about his travles.
Dinner begins as usual, scattered conversation no one talking to Sirius nor Regulus and they were both fine with that. Kreacher bringing in the starters.
However once kreacher cleans out the starters and brings out the main. The place goes silent as Walburga says.
"Sirius, we have something we must tell you"
Sirius looks up "yes mother" he speaks, he had a feeling of where this is going but he doesn't want to belive it.
"Tomorrow, the family will gather again, this time for you to take the mark. The Dark Lord has decided he wants you in his ranks as soon as possible so Tomorrow night you will take the mark and you will not let us down."
Sirius's worst fears came true, looked over at Regulus who looked scared but as ussual was trying to mask his emotions, then he looked over at Narcissa who also looked shocked and scared, she must not have known either. Everyone else was just smiling.
"No!" He shouted "I am not taking that bloody mark!" He scremed, Walburgas face went red with anger.
"You will do as I say!" She shouted back.
"No I won't you conniving abusive little bitch!" Sirius said, he regretted the words as soon as he said them.
Sirius stood up, probably to run, but Walburga grabbed his arm, and struck him across the face. Sirius pulled away and a fiery red mark was already appearing across his cheek.
Sirius then grabbed his wand and was about to hex his mother until she spelled it out of his hand. She grabbed his arm and threw him onto an empty chair.
"Crucio" she spat at him, Sirius is good at hiding how much they hurt, he's able to handle around 2 or 3 in a row without barley reacting.
"Crucio" she spat again, Regulus could tell Sirius was about to break.
"Crucio" she spat again. The spell seemed stronger this time. Sirius toppled of the chair. facing down onto the ground, he was screaming in pain. He grabbed the wall and tried to pull himself up. He somehow managed to and he staggered to grab his wand, as he grabbed it, he tried to splutter out a spell but he wasn't able.
While using the wall for balance he went up to Walburga and stuck her across the face. She grabbed him and threw him onto the ground. Orion was shouting at the top of his lungs.
She got her wand and started spitting out lacero after lacero, Sirius felt a hot shock of pain shoot up his back, and another, and another.
As Walburga was shooting out lacero after lacero, Orion started hitting him with Crucios, Sirius felt as if his entier body was in flames. His fathers Crucios hurt 10 times worse than his mother's since he only does them when he is insanely mad.
Sirius looked over to Reggie, tears pooled in his eyes as he pleaded for his parents to stop, and for a second they did as they said "will you take the Dark mark Sirius" "No!" He screamed back and they went back to torchering him, they were going to keep doing it until he died or said yes.
As he look at Regulus, his eyes pleading for help, he was able to muster out the words "p-please Reggie" but Regulus was to afraid to intervein, he wanted to help his brother but he was to scared
Regulus turns to Narcissa, his eyes pleading for her to help his brother, but she lightly shook her head and put her hand on his shoulder.
There was a huge pool of blood on the ground, Sirius was in a ball curled up on the ground as the family just kept eating. Sirius's screams were haunting, worse than they had ever been. Regulus fully belived Sirius was going to die.
Sirius also thought he was going to die, but he had to keep fighting, for the Marauders and more importantly his brother.
"Will you take the mark Sirius?" Walburga spat.
"I said no and I will never ever change my mind!" Sirius screamed at his mother, but in the time they had stopped their spells, some how, Regulus nor Sirius knew how, Sirius stood up, grabbed his wand, and bolted for the sitting room. He was holding the wall for support as he bled from nearly any place in his body you can see.
"Sirius Orion Black the 3rd you get back here now or mark my words you won't live to see tomorrow" Walburga shouted at her son. But for Sirius everything was blurred out, all he could see, and barley at that since the corners of his eyes were going black, was the entrance to the living room, and all he could hear was a loud buzzing in his ears and mumbled sounds from behind it.
Orion and Walburga ran after him, he was nearly at the floo when Walburga grabbed his arm. "Don't you even think of it" she tried sending a curse at him, mabey it hit him and Sirius was hiding it or mabey she somehow missed.
Sirius pulled his arm away, he grabbed the pot of floo powder and it tipped over, but he got enough in his hand. However before he could leave Walburga sent the worst spell at him "Avada Kadava" Sirius just barley missed it, however exactly right after Orion, his father, sent another Crucio at him, and it hit him directly in the chest, Sirius fell to the ground but still kept fighting. He made it to the fireplace as he shouted his destination.
"I wonder who that could b- oh Sirius, what have they done" Euphemia, or as most pepole liked to call her Effie Potter, was having a cup of tea and reading the paper as she heard someone come through the floo, as soon as she saw Sirius she ran over. "James!" She shouted up and James Potter came running down the stairs.
"Sirius!" He said as he ran over to his best freinds side.
They took Sirius in, he will be okay.
"No!" Walburga screeched. Regulus ran over, he couldn't stop himself anymore. He thought they had killed Sirius, but they didn't. Sirius escaped. So many emotions came rushing in at once, happiness that Sirius got out, guilt that he didn't get to help him, betrayal since Sirius left him but most of all he was proud, Sirius finally got out, Sirius has gotten to go and be safe. Regulus knows he is going to be the heir, and he knows Sirius won't be able to protect him now, but he knows he can handle this along as his brother is safe.
Atleast he can see him in school. Regulus is the most proud that he has ever been.
