Severus had bought Serenity to Malfoy Manor as he typically did, Mrs. Malfoy was very pregnant and she was always more than willing to watch Serenity for practice. Regulus was there today, he had never taken particular interest in Serenity but today Serenity hadn't left him alone. She kept crawling over to him desperate for attention, much like her father if the world wasn't paying attention to her she wasn't pleased.

"What do you want child?" Regulus sighed lifting her off the floor onto his lap. Severus watched them carefully, he was paranoid that one day Regulus would recognize her as Sirius' daughter and then him and Dumbledore's plan to keep her safe would go to hell.

Serenity didn't answer him she just pouted at him. "Mean boy!" She squealed. Regulus laughed at this. He tickled Serenity and she squealed her laughs echoed through the house.

At this moment Bellatrix entered through the fireplace with a flash of green flames. She was holding a beautifully wrapped box.

"I got Serenity something!" She announced and Serenity tried to break free of Regulus arms to rush to Bellatrix. Regulus placed her on the floor and Serenity waddled in the direction of Bellatrix who had crouched down handing the parcel to Serenity. Bellatrix's adoration of Serenity was something very out of character for her, Severus asked Narcissa about it one day. She told him it was because Bellatrix couldn't have a daughter of her own. Severus asked what she thought about Serenity being half-blood. Narcissa said that if Serenity hadn't killed her mother coming out of her or if she wasn't so cute she probably wouldn't like her at all. This scared Severus but he just nodded.

"Gimme!" Serenity demand and Severus scolded her for being rude and not saying thank you. "Thanks, Bella!" Serenity added ripping open the present.

"Don't make her apologize, Severus, it's good she knows what she wants," Bellatrix said ruffling Serenity's curls. Severus went to argue but Serenity's cries of excitement cut him off. Severus looked at the present and paled.

"You got her a broom?"

"Relax Sev," Severus flinched at the nickname, it was something only Lily called him. It was uncomfortable to hear it from Bellatrix's mouth. "It only goes a foot off the ground. She probably won't fall off and die."

Regulus got off the couch and sat on the floor next to Serenity, directing her on how to mount the broom properly. "You'll wanna hold on tight okay, now just kick up- yeah just like that." Serenity kicked off the ground and hovered a foot above the ground. Everyone clapped. Serenity zoomed around in circles around the drawing room.

"Don't crash into anything," Narcissa warned.

"She's a good flyer, perhaps she'll be a little quidditch star," Regulus chuckled ducking as Serenity nearly crashed into him. "Course you aren't supposed to crash into anyone Renny." Bellatrix laughed at this.

"I mean you can, s'long as they're the ones who fall and you don't. Maybe she'll be a beater, you were a beater right Reg?" Bellatrix asked and Regulus looked rather put off.

"I was a seeker, you're thinking of Sirius." Severus twitched at this. Bellatrix said something under her breath about Sirius being a blood traitor. "Besides I'll bet you she's a seeker." As he said this Regulus grabbed his wand a sent an apple flying across the room. Serenity zoomed towards it.

"Regulus!" Narcissa scolded as Serenity did, in fact, catch the apple, after knocking over a lamp and falling to the floor.

"Sorry Cissa. Reparo!" Regulus repaired the lamp and laughed as Serenity munched on the apple still clutching her broom. "Serenity, are you gonna be a Slytherin seeker?" Serenity looked confused by the term but nodded just the same. Regulus sent more objects flying around the room much to Narcissa's dismay but they all laughed as Serenity flew after them. Severus was slightly jealous as he watched Regulus interact with Serenity, he was just as much her uncle as Severus was. Technically more if you considered the fact that Severus was only Olivia's half-brother and Regulus was Sirius' full brother.

"Okay. Renny want some lunch?" Narcissa asked in a desperate attempt to get Serenity to stop knocking things over. Serenity agreed as she climbed off her broom, Narcissa lifted her up carrying her to the kitchen. Bellatrix and Regulus argued over what position Serenity would play in Quidditch. Severus just took a sip of butterbeer and decided he should take Serenity to see Dumbledore more often.

I was gonna upload this tomorrow but, I decided to just upload this tonight instead. Lots of cute fluff. I always regret not showing more of Serenity's childhood. I thought this was a cute story story and plus I love the idea of Regulus and Serenity bonding even though he doesn't yet know she's his niece. Anyway please review me with more ideas!
