September 11971
Sirius is leaving today. I can tell he’s worried about me, but we both know that he gets in more trouble on a daily basis than I ever will. He spent last night in my room promising that he’ll write everyday and telling me that he expects the same from me. He’s been telling me for weeks that he’ll be back for winter holidays before I know it and that once I start school next year it’ll be like we were never apart. I doubt that very much, I know he’ll make friends and forget all about he’s irritating little brother, I would never tell him as much though.
I’m worried that he’ll get into trouble at school and be thoroughly punished when he arrives at home for the holidays. I keep on reminding him that our cousins will have no issues writing home about anything he does that may be considered a disgrace to the Noble House of Black. I just know that despite my warnings he doesn’t care about what may happen when he has to come back home.
I’m honestly terrified of what may happen to myself after Sirius leaves. I mean I’m not allowed to make friends outside of the Sacred 28 which means that’s just a bunch of people wanting to marry into the Blacks because of our high standings, not exactly the best people to make friends with in the world. At least I’ll always have Kreacher, he is the closest thing to a best friend I’ll ever have.
I can’t imagine what life will be like without Sirius, I mean he’s always been there and this year will be difficult without him by my side.
