Chapter 2
The next day when Sirius woke up it took him a moment to realize where he was. The room looked familiar but it was smaller than it was when he went to sleep that night. It was then that he heard the yell.
"Sirius wake up now. We are going to be late!"
"Coming!"
It was then that Sirius realized just where he was. The potion must have worked. He thought; thank Merlin for Hermione's books. As he looked around his room he noticed just how different it was. He noted that he wasn't quite at the peak of his rebellion, but that it would be only in about a year or two.
When he got downstairs he felt his heart drop and his eyes widen when he saw his little brother. Regulus had the innocent look that every first year has on their first year.
"Morning Siri!"
His mother looked at him sharply, "What have I told you about using that name?"
"I am sorry mother. Good morning Sirius."
Sirius frowned at this whole conversation. He forgot just how much his brother looked up to him and felt a tad guilty about how he had treated him but he knew that this was when he would change this. As he looked at his mother he almost did a double-take. After seeing (more like hearing) her portrait he had forgotten just how beautiful his mother was. Just like every other Black, Walburga Black had an elegant beauty to her. Her hair was put up into a perfect bun and her you could tell that her robes were new. His mother did always care what others would think of her.
"Ready? Good than let's go."
Little Regulus turned to her," But mother, father is not here yet."
"Your father will be able to accompany us."
"He was there for Sirius though."
"Regulus that is enough let's go. Now."
Regulus looked absolutely heart-broken. Sirius knew that the boy look up to their father very much. He smiled at his brother and winked at him as he began walking. This got a smile from Regulus and he ran to catch up.
When the Blacks arrived at the train station their mother walked up their Aunt Druella and cousin Narcissa. Narcissa too had a natural beauty to her with her flowing blonde hair that differed from her two sister's black hair. Narcissa would be going into her second year, along with Sirius. When she was her two cousins her eyes immediately lit up.
"Sirius. Regulus. Oh how I have missed you."
"Cissa it's only been a week since we last saw you!"
She flashed them a smile and said, "Yes but it's been so lonely around the house. The only ones I could talk to were the house elves." This was true. Her eldest sister, Bellatrix, was busy with her 'work.' And Andromeda had been disowned at the end of last year for dating a muggle born. Sirius hoped that he would be able to fix his relationship with her too seeing as it was Lucius that ruined her. Once the eldest Blacks had said goodbye to their children the three walked to the train together. That was when Sirius heard it.
"Sirius! Hey over here."
When Sirius turned to look at who had called his name he almost cried. There standing right in front of him was his best friend James Potter. The resemblance between James and Harry was so amazing that Sirius thought it was Harry for a moment. Standing next to James was his other best friend Remus Lupin. It was so strange to see Remus looking so young and almost carefree. Remus had a spark in his eyes that Sirius had not seen in almost 15 years. On the other side of James stood Peter Pettigrew and Sirius felt a bolt of anger go threw him. There stood the man that had ruined his life and everything that he ever cared for. It was at that moment that a spark went off in Sirius' mind. The Peter that is standing in front of me is not the man who ruined mine and those that I care about life's, no this is just an innocent little twelve year old. If Sirius could change the outcome of Regulus and Narcissa's lives than why not Peter's too?
"Hey you guys. I want you to meet somebody."
Narcissa turned to him," Hey Sirius I see my friends but I'll see you later okay? Bye Regulus good luck at the sorting." And wish that, the young blonde skipped off to join her friends.
"Hey Sirius," Remus said to him," Who do you want us to meet?"
"This is my baby brother Regulus." He pushed said boy forward. Regulus looked up looking embarrassed. "Hello, I am Regulus; it is nice to meet you."
James laughed a little, "You don't have to be so formal Regulus, you are at school. Loosen up!"
This got a smile from the brothers. Regulus was glad that Sirius' friends like him and Sirius was glad at how accepting James was of his little brother.
"So I am James and these are Remus and Peter."
Remus gave Regulus a comforting smile, "Hi Regulus, Sirius has told us so much about you."
"Hey, I'm Peter."
"Well mates, we better start to get on the train."
And with that the group started their way to the train each thinking something different.
I really hope I make Sirius proud. Regulus.
If Sirius is happy than I'm happy. James.
I hope Regulus is more like his brother then the rest of his family. Remus.
I'm so hungry! Peter.
This is the start of a great new life. Sirius.
In the present time
"Has anyone seen Sirius?"
"No Harry, he's been gone all morning."
"Harry I found a note in his room."
"Dear Harry,
If your reading this note then you are probably wondering where I am. If the potion went right than I am in the past, 1972 to be exact. So much has happened that I hope to change. If my mission is successful than you will live a happy life with me and your parents and Remus too.
Remember that I will always love you not matter what happens,
Sirius Orion Black.
Harry knew the one person who could explain all of this: Remus Lupin.
