Chapter 2

The sun shone through Malfoy Manor and the snow was deep when Lucius decided that today was the day to dispose of the elf. He picked her up and carried her out into the city as far as he could go and left her in a pile of snow and walked back home.

Just a few streets behind Sirius and his father were walking into town after having seen a healer to get Sirius's medicine "I really don't understand why I need medicine Daddy, I always get better without it" Sirius said and Orion was about to answer when he was cut off but the sound of a baby crying. When Orion looked back for Sirius who had gone to " check it out" He thought and went to find his son.

Orion found Sirius looking at something in the snow. "Daddy it's a baby Kreacher!" Sirius exclaimed. Orion stepped closer and seeing what it was replied. "Sirius We need to get going son you need to get some sleep and take your medicine" "We can't just leave her Daddy' Sirius said picking the small elf up and taking one of his arms out of his coat to warm her.

"Sirius you see that hat son, that means that someone didn't want her and they obviously didn't want her around or they wouldn't have tried to kill h-" "Kill Her, who would want to hurt her?" "I don't know Sirius but we need to go now" "I'm not leaving her here daddy, you go a head someone has to keep baby warm.■ Sirius said angrily. Orion sighed, his son was one of the most stubborn people he had ever known. " Sirius, if you stay out here you will get worse an-" "Baby will die Daddy" Sirius said his tone now soft and his eyes tearing.

"If I let you bring her home, you will be responsible for her,but you must take your medicine and rest, while you are resting I will help you look after her" Sirius smiled "I will name baby Rosey" "That is a beautiful name son." When Orion and Sirius got home, Sirius wanted to show the baby to his younger brother, but his father put a hand on his shoulder. "Sirius go up to your room and get into bed, you can show Regulus later but for now I will take Rosey with me to buy her some things"

Sirius tilted his head to the side curiously he didn't know what a baby house elf needed. "like what daddy?" "Well son she needs a baby house elf bed and something to wear other than this blanket, B-" "I want to help pick them out" "Sirius," He began but stopped as Sirius gave him the saddest puppy eyes he'd ever seen and he sighed. Orion was about to speak when Sirius fell to the floor his hands covering his stomach. Orion panicked he gently put the elf on the table and knelt down by his son.

Orion held his son trying not to show his worry. After all his Sirius was not the first in the family that had that name and stomach ailments, the Sirius Curse as he called it was terrible it had claimed the life of the very first Sirius at only eight years old the others were much older but all met the same fate.

⌠Please not him, not my son■ He thought and yelled for Kreacher to take care of Rosey and watch Regulus as he took his son to his room and placed him on the bed. Orion felt tears forming in his eyes. ⌠A Black, cry, never■ He thought but knew it was true.

After several minutes, the pain passed and Sirius sat up. "Daddy, why are you crying, where is Rosey?" "Kreacher, bring Rosey to me please" The elf came in slowly carrying a now silent Rosey and handed her to Orion. "Daddy, may I hold he now?" "Of course son she's your elf." He smiled, Sirius was such a brave boy. Sirius smiled at the tiny being in his arms.

"Hello Rosey, My name is Sirius and I'm going to take care of you." Rosey stared up at him through large blue eyes and grabbed Sirius' finger. Orion decided that since his son seemed alright at the moment he would go into the sitting room to contact a few of his friends to get the supplies for the tiny elf.
