Chapter 2
It was one in the afternoon when Sirius received a message from his little sister.
baby veg: can I go to dora's after school
sirius: sure. I'll pick you up at 5 for dinner
baby veg: actually I was planning on staying for dinner
sirius: what? why??
sirius: we always go out to subway though first day of school and get ben & Jerry's afterwards
baby veg: its not a big deal we can just eat subway tmrw
sirius: you must be an idiot if you think il agree with this.
sirius: il pick you up at 5
baby veg: SIRIUS cant you just go out with your friends tonight
baby veg: you should hange out with them more anyway.
baby veg: it's embarrassing an old man is constantly hanging out with a middle schooler
sirius: VEGA ARCTULUS BLACK HOW DARE YOU.
sirius: HOW D-A-R-E YOU.
sirius: I AM AN YOUNG HANDSOME YOUNG MAN IN MY 20S.
sirius: IL SEE YOU AT 5. ON THE DOT.
baby veg: siriiiii :(
sirius: stop trying to be cute you little shit.
sirius: that nickname stopped working for me you turned 7
baby veg: sure it did.
baby veg: come on pls you can go drinking with marls you haven't done that in a while. you won't even have to worry abt picking me up I can walk home
sirius: oh my god its finally happened you have actually lost your mind.
sirius: my baby sister has gone insane.
sirius: YOU MUST BE MENTAL IF YOU THINK IM GOING TO LET YOU WALK HOME ALONE IN THE DARK. MENTAL!!!
He frowned at his phone, looking at the lack of response from Vega despite his last message being read.
"That little shit," he whispered to himself. "Talking crazy and then leaves me on read. It should be the other way around!"
He took a screenshot of the text before sending it to the groupchat.

marls: or a fucking exorcism
prongs: MARLS?
holy (not) mary: MARLENE WTH
padfoot: I know a good cliff Marlene.
marls: I was just saying what we were all thinking
lils: no one was thinking that?
padfoot: OH NOW YOU SHOW UP
lils: I JUST GOT ON BREAK? SHOULDNT YOU BE WORKING RN ANYWAY??
padfoot: work can WAIT. this is more important.
prongs: maybe you should just let her stay for dinner? obviously no walking home alone though
padfoot: I thought we were suppose to be best friends. I was wrong. I will be putting up a new application online for a new best friend for anyone who is interested!
marls: no one is interested..
padfoot: there is a good cliff a few miles away. I can take you right now!
holy (not) mary: I still think sirius did something wrong for Vega to act like this
padfoot: I DIDNT DO ANYTHING?
lils: maybe it has something to do with this morning. veg kinda froze and went all quiet.
padfoot: yeah it was after MARLENE spoke so MARLENE what do you have to say about that?
marls: why are you targeting the only lesbian in this groupchat? seems kinda lesbophobic to me
prongs: maybe it's just puberty. she is around that age
holy (not) mary: dont remind me I cant believe my baby is growing up
padfoot: YOUR BABY?? BACK OFF FIND UR OWN BABY SISTER
lils: maybe it is puberty, but it might be something bigger. pick her up at 5 sirius and talk to her.
padfoot: thank you lily, you're the only with sense here
prongs: I was also being serious though and giving advice??
padfoot: wrong! you can't because IM sirius. and it wasn't the advice I wanted.
Sirius closed his phone before going back to his work, counting the minutes to go by, so he could get off and pick up his little sister.
