Chapter 1
walburga black and her oldest son were fighting in the living room of the Black home, regulus black was in his room slowly losing his patience for his mother and older brother.
Eventually the argument was too dull for him to even bother listening in anymore, he grabbed his ID and wallet, he then opened his window, enchanted some of the vines to turn into stairs, and left the home, he mentally told himself that they'd be done fighting within a few hours, and he'd just come back around then.
As soon as he left the block that his home was on he decided to fly to a wizarding bar, he ended up getting there around the same time as a boy on a motorcycle, for a second he thought it was Sirius, but then he saw the fact that the person was wearing a helmet, his brother has never wore a helmet while riding his motorcycle or his entire life, it's almost shocking he hasn't died yet, especially since the damn thing can fly.
The person took off their helmet and put it into a compartment of their motorbike, when they turned around, regulus realized it was a boy from his year, they just so happened to share a potions and transfiguration class, his name was Salem Killian Addams, the most of the time he just went by his middle name.
From what regulars could tell the youngest of the Addams always seemed to be rather shy and well-behaved, to see him being so extroverted and on a motorcycle seemed both odd and intriguing, though he decided against talking to the boy, or at least not talking to him until after he's had a drink or two.
After 9 glasses of fire whiskey to himself, Killian walked over, "hey black, I thought I saw you over here. I'm going with you had a bad day, want me to leave you alone?"
"Nah, you can hang out with me, Killian, just don't touch my alcohol and will be good." it was very clear that he was drunk off his ass, his voice was airy and light clearly not having the energy to breathe in more, not to mention the fact that he was giggling the entire time he was talking.
"Okay, do you maybe want to tell me why you're drinking like an alcoholic idiot?"
"My mom and brother, they're fighting again and I don't like hearing him scream when she decides to use it unforgivable to make a point, so I'm left for a few hours, they should be done in like an hour, and by then my brother will probably storm off to his room or simply leave the house, and Mom will end up drinking wine till she's asleep on the couch. that a good enough answer for you?"
"Yeah that's a good answer, it's also a relatively large insight into your family dynamic, I'm now half tempted to offer you a place to stay during winter and summer break, however I'm not James Potter and I don't have that kind of money to be able to take care of a million kids at one place, my mother already has trouble making sure me and her eat as it is."
"Well I mean I could always just take a tenth of the family fortune, it's only a few million, but it might help, and in return you give me a safe place from my mother for a bit."
"You do realize that few million could literally get us a new house pay all of our bills for the next 5 years and make sure we don't go hungry during that time?"
"I am vaguely aware of that, I grew up with money, I don't really see it as much value as much as you do, however I did not grow up with any type of love or happiness, so we tried it out I give you some money and you do not traumatize me further."
"Considering I've met you and your brother I don't think it's possible, but rather than making a drunken promise that is both stupid and irresponsible how about I get you a cup of water and I drive you home, how's that sound?"
"Fine, you're no fun."
Killian took a hand of the youngest member of the black family, pulled him out of the old metal and leather seat, and guided him to his motorcycle, "you might want to hold on to something, this thing gets pretty fast."
Without saying a word regulus raps his arms around Killian's waist, "that good enough for you?"
"Perfect, now put this on so you don't crack open that pretty head of yours." He said to regulus as he handed the younger boy a helmet, the shorter of the two listened
Sirius had just finished having a screaming match with his mother, luckily this time she did not have her wand on her, so he left relatively unscathed, however as he opened the front door to leave the home the first thing he saw was two people on a motorcycle stopping in front of his house one of them getting off, and taking off the helmet they were wearing, the person was his brother, which only led to the question who was the other.
Killian took off his helmet just after regulus did, and kissed him on the cheek before saying "don't be stupid, Reggie, go into the house go to your room and go to sleep, you do anything else and it's just going to make the hangover worse."
"Yeah, yeah, fine, you're still no fun." He said as he started to walk towards the house, Killian slipped back on his helmet and drove off before Sirius could recognize him, "so, Reggie, huh?
"Shut up, Sirius, you're lucky I'm drunk or I'd hex you into tomorrow." It might have been threatening had regulus not immediately fallen over, his brother had to drag him into the house, and put him to bed, they were definitely having a conversation in the morning
The early morning Sun shined brightly through regulus's window, normally he would have liked to see the sunrise and would have enjoyed the pretty colors, except when he has a hangover, then he'd rather die than see any type of light, just as Regulus attempted to hide from the world in his blanket and pillows, his brother barged in
"so who was the mysterious stranger that took you home last night, for the past few weeks I've been assuming that you and James were dating behind my back and that I was going to have to plan out his murder, but that boy did not look like James, I want answers."
"First of all, me and James were never dating, he just thought it was better than you knowing who he's actually dating and I like drama, secondly the person who decided to give me a ride home is a friend from school, and lucky for me, they are a Hufflepuff, normally I would not consider that a lucky thing but I know for a fact you only know maybe one or two hufflepuffs and they're not exactly anywhere near his friend group, so I know I'm safe, and lastly it does not matter who I'm dating, who that was or anything of the nature as it does not concern you, so I will not be telling you."
"Alright, grumpy, anyway good news mother has decided to leave this morning for some stupid thing today, and won't be back till later, so we have the entire house to ourselves, I'm only letting you know because I'll be disappearing around noonish, I'm hanging out with a few friends, which is the perfect time to question James, maybe he'll know who you're mysterious loverboy is."
"Unlikely neither he nor his partner know of this person, and the only other person who really does has been sworn to secrecy, besides it's not like you have any real sway over them anyway."
"Are you going to tell me who it is so I can at least try and you get to be proven correct."
"If you must know it's Lily Evans, she just so happens to share the same classes as me and him, and she also happens to know of last night as she was there, however we didn't really speak, she was too busy with Pandora."
"Cool, and you just knocked out one of my questions for her if I happen to see any hickeys on her neck."
"Do you have clearly never seen those two interact, I've answered your question if you see bites on her neck is more likely, if it's hickeys then, well let's just say you shouldn't be expecting really to walk properly at all."
"I feel like I should ask how you know that but I'd rather not to be as traumatized as you in that category."
"We had a scheduled study group between the three of us and those two decided to turn it into something else, it was the time that I ran into you, lupin, petigrew and potter, they were the reason I looked like I had been traumatized to the fullest extent a human can be."
"Horrifying, but good to know, I'm going to go see if I can find any brain bleach so I can forget I ever heard that."
"You and I both know that mother removed it from the house after you attempted to forget that she was our mother."
"Ah, yes, Good times. anyway I'll be asking you about your lover boy at a different time, probably after I get back."
Sirius ended up pestering his brother about the boy for the entire summer, and during that same summer regulus would go over to the Addams family home once a week at least, though usually it would be more, at this point Miss Adams thinks of regulus as another son.
Regulus also found out that Killian and Remus were first cousins, which you would not think if you looked at the two of them, Killian had dark black hair and one green and one blue eye, he usually covered them up with glasses, and Remus had curly light brown hair with dark brown eyes.
School is starting in less than a week and Sirius still has no idea who his brother has been hanging out with during the summer.
The first day back to school regulus decided to sit with Killian on the train, however this did end up with Killian surrounded by all of regulus's friends, and got to the point where the young Adams boy almost left at least four times, at this point he was being held down by regulus.
Barty crouch Jr attempted to make conversation with the two boys, however Evan rosier and his sister more or less kept to themselves for the first few minutes, then Pandora got curious about Killian and began asking him about a million different questions at once, "how did you and regulus end up becoming friends, he doesn't really socialize all that much?"
"Pandora! I socialize plenty, I talk to you three relatively often, and put together you have the energy of 12 people, so I think that's more than enough socializing."
"Hanging out with three people and no one else for months on end does not qualify associal, it qualifies as you being an introvert."
Regulus just ended up pouting "anyway my question still stands for Killian, how did you and Reggie here become friends?"
"Can I tell her the real story or do you want me to make something up?" He asked regulus whispering into his ear.
"You can tell her, but only after crouch and Rosier have aren't here, I don't need to hear it from those two."
As if they were able to hear regulus's whispering both barty and Evan simultaneously got up and left the compartment for a few minutes
"Am I going to get an answer?" Pandora asked
"We became friends when I found him at a bar drunk off his ass, I got him a few waters and then drove him home on my motorcycle, I don't know how the conversation went after I left but while I was there his brother looked both confused and pissed, still not totally sure what I was about."
"So what I'm hearing is Reggie here decided to be social for once and made friends with you, and I'm also hearing that you have a motorcycle."
"Oh yeah I do have motorcycle, me and my uncle built it from the ground up, he is a muggle and prefers to make stuff without magic, and I respect his wishes, anyway it's got purple flames and mushrooms painted all over it, I think you'd like that it matches my helmet."
"Okay so it's been decided, I am riding the motorcycle."
"I don't see why not, pretty sure I could give both you and regulus ride on it if you wanted."
"Hell yes/no!" Regulus and Pandora said at the same time, she was clearly more excited about the possibility than he was
"Okay then I guess I can just give Pandora a ride, I don't get what you're against it Regulus, I've given you a ride on it a million times over."
"I'm not against riding the motorcycle, I'm against you bringing the hippiest of weirdos I've ever met on a motorcycle, she's going to end up falling off, I can't have that on my conscience, she's basically my sister."
"Awe Reggie, that's so sweet, I'm still doing it though but that's very sweet."
"Pandora, no!"
The argument went on for a few minutes, regulus only agreed the Pandora could ride on those circumstance of she gets some actual padding other than just the helmet, both parties agreed to that.
