This is my FIRST EVER fanfiction. Hopefully, there will be more in the future!

I think there are going to be 2 chapters (maybe 3) which I will post in the next few days so stick around! ;)

DISCLAIMER: I obviously do not own any of the characters or anything. It's all thanks to JK and her incredible imagination!

Please leave comments, does not matter if they are criticisms :)

Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

"Sirius! Come back here right now!" Sirius heard his father shouting.

He clenched his fists and ignored him, stomping up the stairs. His breathing was heavy. He needed to calm down. He could feel his nails biting into his palms.

When he got to his room, he slammed the door and sat down on his bed, listening to his parents talking in hushed tones.

"He needs to realise that this is not acceptable behaviour! He will ruin the family name."

"What he needs is discipline. You have been too soft on him."

"So now you're blaming it on me?"

It had started out as a normal dinner time; silent. Well, nearly silent. Regulus was showing off to his parents about his pureblood friends at Hogwarts and how good he was at Quidditch and how he wanted to join the team next year. Then Sirius made a stupid mistake. He asked if he could stay at the Potters' for a few weeks in the summer. That's when it went bad. Sirius had been planning out exactly what he wanted to say all day. He would make them see it from his point of view. But he had forgotten one thing about his parents. That they were Blacks. After a short discussion, Sirius had stormed off up to his room.

They had no right to control him! If he wanted to see James, then he should be allowed. He didn't see what the problem even was with seeing James. After all, the Potters were purebloods as well.

After sitting down on his bed for a moment, listening to his parents arguing, anger welling up inside him again, he decided that he had had enough. His trunk was already basically packed; he never bothered unpacking it when he was home, so all he had to do was take a few things out and stuff them in his rucksack; he couldn't take his trunk on broom. This house had never felt like his home. Even before he had gone to Hogwarts and became friends with non-purebloods, he had always felt different; out of place. He had never been like his parents. He hurriedly looked around the room, scanning the walls which were plastered with Gryffindor banners and Quidditch posters for anything he wanted to take with him. He stuffed some letters from his friends into his bag and put his wand in his pocket.

This house had never felt like his home. Even before he had gone to Hogwarts and became friends with so called half-bloods, he had always felt different; out of place. He had never been like his parents. He hurriedly looked around the room, scanning the walls which were plastered with Gryffindor and Quidditch posters for anything he wanted to take with him. He stuffed some letters from his friends into his bag and put his wand in his pocket.

Just as he was about to leave his room, after grabbing his broomstick, a shadow appeared in the doorway.

"What are you doing?" Regulus asked in his soft voice. Sirius glanced at his brother's perfect face, his neatly combed hair.

"Go away, Regulus." He answered in a threatening tone. He didn't have time for his little brother.

"Why couldn't you just do what they tell you to?" Regulus said, a pained expression on his face. "Why do you always have to argue with them?"

Sirius took a deep breath to steady himself. "Because they are wrong!" He shouted. "Don't you understand? We are no different from—

"No. You don't understand!" Regulus shouted back, anger lighting up his face. "They just want what is best for us. Wizards that are impure… well, they aren't really wizards at all! By associating with them, you are ruining the family name!"

"What is so amazing about the "Black" family name anyway? It doesn't mean anything! What makes us better than everyone else?" Sirius retorted.

Regulus looked down. Sirius pushed past him.

"Wait," Came a small voice from behind him. "Why can't you stay? Just give them a chance!"

"What? Give them a chance?" Said Sirius incredulously. "You know, you remind me of them so much,"

Sirius shook his head slowly, grimacing. "Regulus, you can decide what you want to be like. You don't have to be like them. We all have good and bad; Light and dark, inside of us. It the part we choose to act on that makes us who we are. It's our choices that define us, not where we come from. And I've made my choice. Have you?"

Sirius walked down the stairs, broom in hand, rucksack on his back, hoping his words would make a difference to his brother. Regulus wasn't a bad person, he had just been brainwashed by their parents. The younger boy stood at the top of the stairs, frozen. Then Orion appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

"Just what do you think you are doing, young man?" He shouted, looking at Sirius. Then he caught sight of his younger son. "Regulus, go to your room,"

Regulus looked first at Sirius, then to his father. "Yes, sir," He finally replied, walking down the corridor.

Sirius walked down the stairs, approaching his father until he was nearly face to face.

"You really think you could try to run away? Without there being consequences?"

Sirius felt a chill down his back. He knew what consequences his father meant. But he had had enough. Enough of being controlled by his parents, enough of hearing them talk badly of his friends' families, of them thinking they were superior.

"No. I don't think I can run away. I can run away."

Orion's nostrils flared and his face went red from anger. "I will not put up with this insolence any longer!" He shouted.

Sirius stared into his father's eyes with hatred. He was finally making a stand; doing something. He would no longer listen to his parents' constant talk of "Purebloods" and "Mudbloods". He was going to escape.

Sirius did not break eye contact with him, even though he knew what was coming. It had happened thousands of times before. He was prepared.

But he didn't realise just how far his father was willing to go this time.

I hope you enjoyed reading the first chapter!
