"I've had enough! IM LEAVING!!!!!!!, screamed Sirius Black, slamming the front door of number 12 Grimmauld place behind him.
He started down the street dragging his trunk with him. He could still hear the echoes of Mrs Black's screams...
"Stupid old hag! Black sheep of the family, indeed!! Yeah, well, rather them than you!!..."
He continued in this rant about his mother and her pathetic family for a while until he had reached the park at the end of the street. He sat down on the grass,still breathing heavily.
Why was it such a bad thing to do the right thing?And why was doing the right thing so damn hard?
And why was Regulus acting like such an idiot?!Admittedly, he was'nt so bad when they were kids...in fact,they even had fun sometimes.But something happened after he came to Hogwarts-He turned different,somehow... wait,who was he kidding?He only turned different after he was put into Slytherin, made the wrong type of friends and mother had convinced him that his elder brother was a good for nothing idiot who landed himself into Gryffindor...
He smiled ruefully.But then again, when has mother ever been happy with him?She was'nt actually fit to be called mother...He could'nt really recall any motherly feelings from her...
The only person he's had close to a mother was Mrs Potter.In fact,she was just like a mother to him.The way she makes his favorite chocolate pudding everytime he comes around to James's place...the way she tries to comb James's and his hair neatly("Mom,how many times?It WO'NT lie flat!And Sirius's get's messy anyways...")...the way she and Mr Potter took James and him to every Quidditch game...
Memories of the past few summers he'd spent at James house came back...He remembered the day when they were going back to Hogwarts...
"Thanks for everything Mrs.Potter-I had a great summer"
"Oh, it was nothing dear...I'm just glad you enjoyed yourself",she had said, pecking him on the cheek"And remember dear, you're always welcome..."
Sirius got up and drew out his wand from his pocket.
"you're always welcome"
He stuck out his right arm...And a moment later-The Knight Bus arrived.
The conductor helped him lift his trunk aand heave it into the bus"So, you going to Wales again eh?Like last time you hopped on this bus?"
"Home,mate.This time,I'm going back home."
And Sirius, smiling widely at his confused look, paid him three extra sickles for hot chocolate.
