Regulus jumped from foot to foot excitedly as he jerked his head to different area, only straying there for a moment before looking at soemthing else. He wore a maniacal grin on his face as he searched the crowd. Sirius lookeded at his brother wearily and sighed to himself. He noticed Regulus trying to go off but Sirius roughly grabbed him by the vback of his robes.
"Oh, no you don't," Sirius said sternly. Sirus knew from experience what happened if Regulus wandered off while he was still on a sugar-high. he got shudders as he rememebered what happened on the train.
"Geez Reg, I can't believe you stole the Candy Cart!" Sirius stated dramatically.
"Stole it?! I can't believe he rode on it and all the way other side of the train!!" Jame exclaimed.
"I think he broke a record," Remus said then adding to himself "Not to mention a 2nd year Hufflepuff's arm."
Sirius just ignored his friends and tried to tame his younger brother. When his brother turned towards him Sirius almost started to pale. Regulus' normal green eyes were changing rapidly from green to an amber yellow and there seemed to be a aura around his brother.
"Regulus! Settle!" Sirius whispered harshly. Regulus turned to his older brother annoyed.
"Will you settle down, your eyes!" Sirius whispered harshly.
That was all it took. Regulus gave a panicked look before closing his eyes briefly and letting out a slow breath. The aura seemed to simmer down and when he opened his eyes, they were back to their normal green.
"Fine," Regulus mumbled before a loud booming voice shook him out of his state.
"First Years!"
Regulus turned to see a giant being coming towards them. he looked nervously aroound before finally spotting a familar face. Without wasting another moment Regulus took off while yelling good-bye to the elder Black as the other waving heartily at him.
"I think I may vomit," Sirius heard a sneering voice from behind him. Sirus turned swiftly to see Snape behind him with a cold sneer on his face.
"Well hey there Snivelly! I see your as greasy as usual", the famed Black smirked confidently.
Severus scowled before jerking his head at the retreating first-years.
"Taking up babysitting are we?"
"Remus takes care of that. Just seeing the next generation off!"
"The other Black? I heard he's as weird as they come, that's what Bellatix says anyway,' Snape staed.
"What are you on about?", Sirius said a little nervously.
"Don't play dumb Black, although your so good at it. Are you just gonna pretend you didn't see the brat's eyes change color?" Snape asked cynically. Sirius stiffened in anger.
"Your nose must be obstructing your vision, Snivelly. Nothing happened." With that said Sirius turned curtly towards his friends and strolled towards the carriages.
Snape just glared at his enemy's back before turning his focus back on the first-years. Something was up with that Black brat and it wasn't normal.
With that, he walked off towards the carriages to a certain fiery redhead.
During this whole dispute, the said "Black brat" was walking what he hoped was confidently beside close friend Todd Mason. He looked towards Todd who appeared just as nervous as he was but tried desprately not to show it.
"So where were you Reg? You wrote me promising you were going to sit with us on the train!" he exclaimed curiously.
"Sorry about that. I was about to find you guys with Simon when I got ambushed..." he trailed off before Todd interrupted him.
"What?! Who? Why?" he asked worried.
"Oh it was nothing. Just my brother dragging me off towards his compartment. YOU of all people should understand," Regulus replied exasperated.
Todd just cringed. Both Todd and Regulus got along really well, not because they were the most mischivious or brave in their group of friends but because they both knew the torment of being in the shadow of an older brother, and an overprotective one at that. Todd's older brother was Ryan Mason and was in Ravenclaw and in Sirius' year as well.
"Yeah, but luckily I got away!", he boasted.
"So Ryan tried to drag you off as well" Regulus asked.
"Heck yeah! look at my robe!" Todd said as he held up his left arm which part of the sleeve of the robe had been torn off.
"Geez! And I though Sirius was forceful!"
"Big brothers! Can't live with them and can't beat them into dust!" he exclaimed murderously before he got a passive look on his face.
Both the two first-years sighed in defeat in unison as their thoughts turned toward their older brothers.
"Let's not worry about it. Let's focus on getting past the Sorting in one piece." Regulus said as they got into line for the Sorting ceremony.
"So what House do you hope getting? Slytherin, right?" Todd asked.
Regulus just stiffened in panic as he started to remember what happened just a acouple nights ago.
Regulus yawned sleepily as he trudged down the starirs. God was he hungry! But that wasn't anything new. The youngest Black child was always hungry and was always snacking so much that all the relatives around his age frequently called him a Black Hole, which baffled everyone in his family how he was so small and thin he was. As he was almost a the last step his mother shrill voice made him back up the stairs quickly. His mind was screaming him to go back to bed, but he ignored it.
He crouched down low and began to creep down the stairs so he could hear better. It was at these times Regulus thanked his small size.
"No Orion, absolutely not!"
"Walburga, dear, does it really matter if he's in Slytherin, I mean Sirius isn't a horrid boy, is he?" Orion Black reasoned mildly.
"NO! He'll, be a Slytherin, like all all family but that wretch!" she screamed.
"Walburga, you'll wake the boys," he reasoned quieter. Walburga Black calmed down before harshly whispering to her husband.
"I will not lsoe both my sons," she said coldly.
"We're not lsong them, and would it really be the end of the world if Regulus was sorted into Raveclaw perhaps," he stated mildly. Regulus eyes widened. they were speaking of him being sorted. Oh no. Oh no.
"Yes it would! Orion, he'll be a perfect Black child," she said pleasantly which didn't eem possible for Walburga Black.
"Walbuga dear, plase think logically. The boy seems more bound for Gryffindor than Siriyus did.." he was cut off by a plate being thrown at his head as he ducked just in time.
"HOW DARE YOU!! HE'S NO GRYFFINDOR! HE'LL BE A SLYHTERIN IF HE KNOWS WHATS GOOD FOR HIM OR ELSE!!" she screamed as she turned her back towards her bewildered husband.
"O-or else what dear?" he asked fearfully.
"I was surprised with Sirius but I will not tolerate it if it occurs," she whispered.
"Walburga..what will you do?" he asked again nervously.
She walked into the other room but just before she did she whispered as though a normal tone would break the trance in the room.
"If I hear word that's he's sorted into anything but the House of the Serpent, he'll be disowned immediately," she whispered harshly as both the Black males gasped.
As Orion ran after hsi wife ppleading Regulus slumped down to the bottom stair and clutched his stomach painfully as all the dread dropped down like a bucket of lead. For the first time in his eleven years of living, Regulus Black lost his appetite.
Todd's vopice penetrated his thoughts as he looked up at him, his expression questioning.
"Wake up Dolly-Daydream! Your up!" he shouted unaware of his friend's dread.
Regulus swallowed hardly and walked up to the fron of the Great Hall. There he sat in a stool as a teacher placed the Hat on his head.
'Ah, another Black I see,' a voice appeared in his head. Regulus jumped as the Hat began talking to him.
'No need to be alarmed Little One,' the Sorting Hat reasured him.
"Sorry, I'm not usually this jumpy", Regulus replied shakily.
'Oh I cans see that. From what I can see your alot like your brother. You have a very noble heart and are very brave as well.'
"Please Slytherin," he begged.
'Slytherin! You seem to be very competitive, yes, but you are very much a Gryffindor in you values' the hat reasoned.
"Please! I don't want to be siowned!" Regulus pleaded.The Sorting hat laughed.
"And that's supposed to be funny?!" Regulus asked angrily.
" Do not misunderstand me little One. I was just caught off gurard. Your brother before you was scared about the exact same thing"
That shocked Regulus to the core. Sirius? Scared
"Really?! But if I go into Slytherin, I don't have to change do I?" Regulus asked fearffully.
'Ah, individuality. You seem to treasure that above all else, am I correct?' At Regulus' nod the hat continued on.
"No not nessiasrily, but let me warn you child. If I do sort you into the House of the Serpent, you'll be delievered harsh treatment if you conntinue to act as if you were a Gryffindor."
At this Regulu haredened his resolve.
"Yes I understand." After a few moments of slince the Hat finally stated.
"Slyhterin." But it was in an oddly quiet voice differentfrom when the others before him got theirHouse shouted. How odd.
Slytherin table shouted cheerfully as Regulus slid off the stool. He looked towards Gryffindor table where his brother Sirius sat and seemed to be talking to his friends. He looked over in the line where his friends stood. Thye all nodded at him and gave him peace signs and he nodded gratefully. They all agreed. No matter what Houses they were in, they'd still all be best friends. At this thought Regulus clenched his jaw determinely.
"And no matter what happens, I'll never change myself," he whispered to himself quietly as he made his way to his table.
