Things Change
They were always so close, him and Regulus. They used to play together all the time, they used to be inseparable. Then they both went off to Hogwarts and things changed. He was put in Gryffindor and he made friends with James, Remus and Peter. Regulus was put in Slytherin making friends with..well he didn't know who Regulus' friends were.
Then Regulus became more and more distant. They weren't so close any more. They never spent time with each other, they were always with other people.
Then he found out. He found out that his brother, his own brother, was a follower of Voldemort. Regulus was a death eater. He tried to talk some sense into Regulus, but he couldn't. Regulus wouldn't listen, so he eventually gave up. He wished he hadn't stopped trying because now, well now they were here.
His brother was dead. Regulus was only 18 and he had had his entire life in front of him. But now he was gone and it was all his fault. He should have tried harder to stop Regulus being a death eater. He should have stuck by him at Hogwarts; spent more time with him. He shouldn't have let them become so far apart. But it was too late now, there was nothing he could do.
He sat on the kitchen floor, unsure of what to do. Did he find his parents and talk to them? No he never talked to his parents; he hated them. Maybe he should talk to James' parents, after all he was living with them. No, as much as he appreciated their kindness, he could never talk to them about something like this; they didn't understand him and Regulus. He could talk to James, but no doubt James would just start babbling on about Lily Evans; he was obsessed with her.
So where does that leave him? He couldn't talk to Peter, they weren't that close, so that left him with Remus. Remus would listen to him and probably give him some good advice. Yeah, he needed to talk to Remus, but the only problem was he didn't know where Remus was and he wanted to talk to him face to face.
There was a knock on the front door and then he heard footsteps leading up to the kitchen.
"Sirius?" it was James, "Sirius, there's someone here to see you."
"Well tell them to go away. I don't want to talk" he replied.
"I think you'll want to speak to him" James said as he pushed the door open and stepped in, followed by Remus.
"I guess you're right" he shrugged.
"I'll just go, clean my broom" James said and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
"So you wanna talk?" said Remus.
"You physic are something?" he asked, smiling for the first time in days.
