L for Lestrange
Sirius decided to take a bath and after changing into his robes went down to the hall where he saw his Mother and Regulus already at the Table.
“Your father has gone out, for some work” his mother informed him to which he nodded.
The three of them just sat in silence as they ate the lunch prepared by Kreacher when suddenly Amis, the lestrange Family Owl came into the hall and dropped a letter in front of them
“Open it” his mother told him
He opened the letter and found it was from bellatrix.
Dear Sirius,
Why don’t you and Reg come to visit us today, me and Meda didn’t see you both at the wedding , so it will be a good catchup before the Annual party,
Bellatrix Lestrange,
She had signed at the bottom. Sirius just snorted at the words, he clearly wasn’t dear when she blasted him into the veil.
“What is it” Walburga asked her son
“Bella wants me and Reg to visit them” he answered looking uninterested.
“How thoughtfull of Bellatrix, always the responsible one” his mother heaped praise of the eldest Black
Sirius just rolled his eyes saying nothing
“So when are you and Regulus going” she asked
“What, we have to go” Sirius asked
“Ofcoruse, you are going” She said focussing back on her and Sirius knew that was the end of the coversation and just began focussing on his food.
Over an half an Over later Both the brothers were dressed in respectible cloathes and their mother was just saying instructions to both of them.
“Now look after your brother Sirius and make sure you behave, you are the black family heir” she was saying to her eldest son
Sirius just groaned internally, he had always hated when his mother remininded him of being the black heir but he knew that he had to behave if he to save his brother and the potters so just nodded and smiled before kissing her cheeks
“Dont worry Mother, I will look after Regulus and make sure to behave, we are Blacks after all” he said gagging at himself for the way he spoke
His Mother said Nothing and just nodded just looking at both the brothers with her steely grey eyes without saying a word.
“Ready Reg” sirius asked his brother with floo powder in his hands
“Ya let’s go” the younger one said
“Lestrange Manor” both said throwing the floo powder in the fireplace and disappaearing instantly.
Both arrived at the Manor coughing due to the smoke from the fire place.
“Ah Masters” Bingo, the Lestrange elf said bowing
Both nodded before Bingo went away probabaly to bring his owners
Soon enough the two sister arrived wearing similar black robes\
“Welcome Siri and Reg” Andie said welcoming them to the Place
Soon the four began talking about.
“So, Siri heard that you have become Quidditch captain from Auntie” Bell asked.
Sirius was shocked at that. He was good as a beater but never played for Gryffindor because he didn’t like it much and also partially due to Regulus being the Slytheirn seeker.
“And a pretty good one at that, even Slugghorn said he is the best beater for us since Ludo Bagman” Regulus said heaping praise on his brother
Sirius just blushed at the complement his brother gave him
“Its nothing really, just doing my job I guess” Sirius said
“Nonsense,” Andie said laughing “Stop being modest” she added.
“So why did you invite us over” he asked knowing full well bellatrix don’t invite people over without purpose
“Can’t I just invite my lovely cousins over” she smiled but having known her it wasn’t a genuine smile
Just then the two Lestrange brothers arrived, Rudolphus and Rabastian
If there was any person he hated after his mother and bellatrix it was the lestrange siblings for what they did to the longbottoms
He loved the Longbottoms, they were one of a few people along with James Lily and Remus to accept him into the Order of the Phoneix while the rest didn’t trust him due to his surname and he still remebers the day when he came to know of their fate sitting in the Azkaban Cell.
Original Dimension, 1981 November 5th :
Sirius Black just sat in his azkaban cell, heart broken and full of regret and he wanted to say his forgiveness to Remus for suspecting he was the spy when it was Pettigrew all along
“Oi Black” he heard a voice
He turned around to the next cell which consister of an unknown wizard
“Eh” he asked uninterested
“Did you hear” the man asked
“Hear what” Sirius asked
“Your cousin bellatrix and three others tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom to Insanity, you must be thrilled eh” the man snarled
Sirius was stunned and didn’t reply to the Man but that night as he tried to sleep, he cried for the first time since James and Lily died, for the longbottom too. He knew they had a Son Neville who also one of the target of the Prophecy and slept hoping that he and Harry one day would be good friends.
Present:
“Sirius” Regulus shaked him
Sirius awoke from his Trance and looked at his brother “What” he barked
“You were looking at the Wall thinking about something , Bella was trying to catch your attention, what were you thinking about” Regulus questioned.
Sirius admonished himself for falling into the trance. He knew Regulus already Suspected him about him not being well, the last thing he wanted to was create more suspcision himself after all he just cant tell people he came from another world.
“Nothing, leave it” He said before turning his attention to Bell “What is it” he asked her
“The dark lord wants to speak to you soon” she answered
“What” he asked
Sirius said nothing but just starred blanked at her
“Why does Vol.. The dark lord wants to speak to me” he questioned again
“He wants to speak to you about joining him” She answered “and don’t speak his name” she said, “We arent worthy of speaking his name” she continued.
“When” he asked
“He said he will speak to you when the right time comes, you must be honoured” she said
Sirius winced, he didn’t know what to think of it, on one hand joining the death eaters would keep his closed one safe but on the other hand hadnt he fought against the same people to keep the wizarding world safe.
But he said nothing and just nodded.
“The Dark mark doesn’t hurt you know, when bella brought me to him to take it, I was honoured” Andie said
Sirus was now shocked, how could his favourite cousin who defied her family and married a Muggle born be a Death eater, he really wanted to cry and he hated this world so much.
“I wish he will speak to me” Regulus whined “I want to join him”
“Time will come for you Reg” bella said “The dark lord has a plan for everyone of his followers” she said, her Pride and Adoration for dark lord clearly being seen in the way she spoke.
“Well I am Hungry so let us eat, Bingo, bring lunch” she ordered to the House elf who just nodded and soon enough Sirius Regulus Andromeda Bellatrix Rudolphus and Rabastian were eating at the Table
“So, it is true that the dark lord wanted you to tame the dragon” Regulus asked Rabastian
“Yes, we went to Romania to tame them, but so far we havent made any progress” Rabastian replied with a Scowl on his face
Sirius was actually shocked about how Regulus knew all this but then remebered that he had idolised the dark lord and hence it shouldn’t come as a surprise but still Sirius was alarmed about how much the 14 Year old boy was Interested in the dark lord.
“So is it true that they have appointed a Mudblood as your defense teacher” Bellatrix asked
Sirius wanted her to yell at her for using the word but didn’t say anything
“Yes, Professor Barne is good though” he said instead
“Still that old crow dumbledore being appointed as Headmaster is the worse thing to happen to Hogwarts” she complained.
They soon finished eating their lunch when Bellatrix announced that they would be practising the unforgiviables.
“After all, the dark lord would be pleased if you learned it” she had said to Sirius
Soon they went to the backyard where Sirius saw a Man tied to the post.
This is a filthy Muggle we found near our house, Bellatrix announced
So we will begin the fun
“But wont the Ministry find out if we cast the unforgivables” Sirius asked trying to find a way to escape casting the wretched spells
“No, Lestrange Manor is protected by a Lot of Old Magic, no one will knew” she announced
She pointed her wand at the Man and said “Crucio”
Soon the man started wrenching in pain and being twitching trying to escape
Bellatrix just started laughing like a madwomen and Sirius was shocked at how much she resembled the 20 Year older Bellatrix
“Go on Andi, your turn” she announced to her Sister
“You don’t have to do it Andi” Sirius tried to argue, he cannot see his favorite and only sane relative in the original dimension to follow the path of her sister
“Nonsense” she said before pointing her wand and yelled “Imperio”
Suddenly the man who was twitching in pain stood and paled himself on the iron doors dying
“No Stop” he yelled
But they were just laughing
“You have a lot to learn, eh” Bellatrix laughed like a Manian putting her hand over his shoulder
Sirius was shaken by what he saw. His favoutire relative Andi had just instructed that man to commit suicide. He hated the world more and more.
“Me and Reg need to leave Bella” He announced
Bellatrix just laughed
“See you are the Party then Sirius” she laughed
Moments later using the floo both the brothers flooed to Grimmauld Place. Saying his good byes to his Parents and Regulus he quickly dashed to his Room.
Changing his Pyjamas he quickly tried to sleep to try to talk to the Older Sirius.
“Ah, you are back” the older one annnounced
“Did you saw what happened today, Andi our Andi instrcuted a Man to kill himself” he said crying
“Thats not our Andromeda Sirius, none of the persons in this deminsion belong to our world” the man said
“But how is Bellatrix still the bitch she is” he asked
“Some things don’t change about her in any world” the man smirked
“Voldemort wanted me to join his death eaters” He said
“I know” the man announced
“So?” he asked
“You know the answer to it” the man said matter of factly
“I don’t like the Answer Sirius” he said
“Neither do I but you don’t have a choice if you wanna save what you want” the elder Sirius before vanishing.
