-----"You promise?"-----
==James==
He wakes up with a start at the noise coming from downstairs. It sounded like the floo going of but who for merlins sake would visit them at....he checks the clock on his nightstand.....bloody 1:30?? He groans and flops back into his pillows. Hes gets up to see who the late night visitor was but lets out a gasp when he sees them. In front of him, bleeding,lays Regulus Black, Sirius brother. When Regulus sees James, he opens his mouth but nothing comes out, exept for a groan. He tries again , this time whispering a faint:" I couldnt think of anywhere else to go" , before going unconcious.
James who stood there frozen now springs into action, screaming : "MUM, DAD COME DOWN FAST" Upstairs a door gets thrown open and moments later , Euphemia and Fleamont Potter are standing in the living room. Euphemia shrieks and instantly kneels next to the young Black, looking for the source of the blood, which now forms a pool on the carpet. Upstairs the door of the other bedroom opens and a sleepy looking Sirius comes down the stairs but he is awake immediately as he sees his brother. "What the fuck is he doing here!? Effie tell me this isnt what it looks like??!" Mrs Potter casts a diagnostic spell on Regulus, ignoring Sirius for now while James comforts him. Well , at least he tries, Sirius shrugs him off and starts pacing the living room. "Fucking hell Effie talk to me for Merlins sake!" . Euphemia looks up at him through glassy eyes, "I am sorry Sirius...the cruciatus curse." Now it was completely over with the small amount of calmness Sirius had in him. He starts shaking violently, dropping tp the floor crying. James crosses the distance and sits next to him, pulling him in a tight hug . "This is all my fault, i shouldnt have left him behind, oh merlin what if he doesnt survive?? prongs I have killed my brother! He thought I hated him! " , Is all he said between sobs. James does his best to comfort him but then , Regulus wakes up, sitting up and looking around panicing. Effie holds him by his shoulders but he flinches away before whispering "Sirius? Where is Sirius?" Sirius jumps up and sprints to his side. "Its ok Reggie, you are safe you dont ever have to go back again . I promise." "You..you promise?" , a small smile creeps across Regulus´ face. "Ok thats good.", was the last thing he said before dropping unconcious again.
