Sirius looked at his brother confused, what in the world did he mean? There was nothing that his family was keeping from him that would worry him. There was something that he had been keeping from them, that hopefully they would never find out. "Sure Regulus," Black said back trying to sounding more confident then he felt as he realized there were two things that he was keeping from his family.
"Mom and Dad said that they won't keep it any longer since you want to hang out with Potter." Regulus said the Potter name like there was something wrong with it. "However you do have a chance if you stop hanging out with the Potters and people like them."
Sirius rolled his eyes at that, even though he was wondering what his brother was talking about, Sirius knew that he would never stop being friends with James or Remus or Peter. No when he made friends they were friends forever. "That is silly," Sirius saw from the side that his friends were watching to make sure nothing went out of hand while no one it seemed had Regulus' back. They were besides the door to the great hall so there were people around but not to close so Sirius and his brother could talk in private. "Look I don't know what mom and pops have been saying but this is my 5th year, what can they do to me? I mean I am going to be out of their hair in two years any way." Hopefully before anything bad happeneds. Was an added thought as he saw Regulus shake his head.
"I don't know what mom and pops were talking about but they said it was painfully and it will start tomorrow." Regulus looked like he wanted to add more but just shrugged and walked away.
Sirius walked back to the Gryffindor table were his friends were waiting, telling them what Regulus told him. It wasn't long before they were coming up with crazy ideas on what would happen. It was then that the sorting began and they watched, waiting for the feast that always came after. It wasn't til after they finshed eating and was going up to their beds that Sirius really thought about what Regulus said. It seemed like Reg was sent to warn Sirius about a secret but why would that be? With that in mind he rolled over to get some sleep.
The next day began with Sirius not wanting to get out of bed and his friends thinking it was because he wasn't a morning person. After all last year Remus had to pour cold water on Sirius just to get him out of bed. Today however was different because Sirius complained that he felt numb like the time he thought it would be fun to cut a hole in the ice and well fell in.
"We are not falling for it." Remus said, "but you do get points for bringing up a story where you become the arse of your own joke."
"Besides," Peter added "won't your brother think that you are scared of what might happen today and not come down?"
James pulled on Sirius' hand to pull him out of bed, "We can't have that."
Sirius frowned, being pulled out of bed was something that he had gotten used to but today for some strange reason he just felt off. "Fine I am up..." What ever else Sirius was going to say was cut off as he swayed. Once he had his balance he smile to his friends letting them know he was alright. "Now what is for breakfest?"
The great hall was filling with students some like Sirius who wouldn't come down if it wasn't for their friends dragging them down. Most of the time the ones that came early left not to long after, today however it seemed the rumor of something bad happening to Sirius Black conviced more then half the school to wait until he showed up to see if it was true. So when the four entered the hall and saw everyone looking at them or Sirius Black, it made them laugh that even the teachers were looking and waiting for something.
That something as luck would have it didn't start til lunch. It was when Sirius sat down that he felt pain everywhere, biting his lips from his screaming out he tugged on James robes. In a minute James leaned towards him ask what was wrong.
"It hurts everywhere." Sirius whispered biting on his bottom lip afterwards because he was sure that he would scream.
James leaned back to look at Remus who knew something was up, pointed to Sirius this was all Remus needed who knew what James wanted him to do. Together the two of them lifted Sirius and did a half walk with and carry to the hospital wing. While they were leaving, the three heard Peter coming along.
Madam Pomfrey wasn't glad to see Sirius as she thought he was there once again because if a prank that went wrong. When she found out that this wasn't the case she tried finding out what he could of had to make him hurt the way he said it was. There was something wrong with what he said was hurting, it seemed like his whole body was in fact changing and that worried her. The next few days were going to be the worst of his life.
"Ok you Potter, Lupin and Pettigrew need to go to classes, please ..." Madam Pomfrey stopped when she realized that she had no idea what was going on. "Never mind, who knows what Black has been doing lately that might make him sick?"
James sighed, "We haven't pulled any pranks yet. It is the first of the year, in fact we were going to do some cool things but that was before his brother came over saying that their parents were keeping something from Sirius and they were going to stop which will make Sirius in pain." When James said this Remus and Peter nodded, which made Madam Pomfrey look shocked.
"I need Lupin to get Dumbledore for me and Potter with Pettigrew to go to class. Lupin we will write you a note about being late for class. Please go and do what I said." She then turned to go back to Black who was curled into a ball crying, which was something his friends never saw him doing before.
Peter was half pulling James when he realized that he had no clue what class they had to go to. "So what class do we have?"
"The we should find out what is wrong with our friend," James aid back. It seemed that he was out of it, "have you ever seen Sirius cry?" Was the next thing that came out of his mouth.
"No but we do have to go to class," Peter pointed in a direction that Severus Snape happened to be walking to them from.
James frowned, was it him or did it seem that Snape was walking towards them like he wanted to talk since his wand was away.
"Potter, Pettigrew." He looked around, "Where is Black?"
"Hospital wing, why" James said, trying not to smile since it was clear that Snape didn't believe him but James couldn't blame him since last year they might of pulled a prank that had Black waiting to pop up on Snape. "If he was hiding he would of cursed you by now." James said smiling at the fact that Snape was jumping at shadows, he couldn't wait to tell Sirius about that. "Now what do you want?"
Snape sighed, "look I know that we are not or will ever be friends but there are somethings that you should know. Some people are talking about the Blacks having a girl but they keep saying that they are only two kids." At their confused looks Snape added, "People like the Black family need an heir and it is considered bad luck to have a girl as the first child."
It was then that Dumbledore came by with Lupin, "Ok thanks, now please go to class while I talk to Madam Pomfrey." The look in his eyes made the four go off talking about Black forgetting that they normal curse each other before and now they were talking.
It ended up a good thing that Snape talked to them because for the next few days the three were not allowed to see Sirius at all. Snape was the one with Lily getting them to classes and got jinxed a few times by his own house for trying to help. As to why he was helping that was something that Snape wasn't talking about.
"So are you going to try again Potter?" Snape asked helping Peter in Potions, this was something that he was doing since Lupin was sick and getting helped by Potter. Peter it seemed had no talent in it, and needed any help.
"Of course," James Potter said like it was the most normal thing to do.
Remus and Peter stayed silent when Severus tried talking him out of trying to see Sirius Black, something that James had been trying to do ever since they left him in the hospital. Even though it was a few days ago James was not going to let his friend think that he wasn't cared about.
"You are already, Peter remove the cauldron first then you add that otherwise you will have to buy me another one again." Snape rolled his eyes while Remus and James gave a little laugh. The last caulron had in fact blown up, it was the fast act of Snape grabing Peter and diving under the table that saved them both. The desk was removed and Professor Slughorn was glad that Snape started helping Peter. This happened of course the first day right after lunch so James was sad that his best friend wasn't able to see it. "You know what never mind, I have no clue why I talk to you any way." He started to add more when Professor Slughorn came over.
"Look," Slughorn started to list off reason why they couldn't see Sirius Black, and it ended it with the fact that James was already in trouble. There was something more that the four knew was going on but they waited for him to end. Since Slughorn knew that the boys weren't going to listen, "Since you don't believe me then go to Dumbledore maybe with what he says you will listen." Slughorn then walked away, it was clear that he was mad but it was also clear that the boys really didn't listen to him until that point. This might of been because Slughorn was not there like Dumbledore was there, so it seemed that Dumbledore knew what was going on.
"Yes to skipping the next class?" James asked smiling looking at the other three.
Snape was shocked that Potter would still want him to hang around could only say, "Potter we have no other classes today, we should go after dinner though. Snape was even more shocked when they agreed with him, James thinking of a way to get Lily to join.
