A/N: Ok, disclaimer is the same. I know the last chapter was a bit "sick" but I was trying to make Sirius seem strong and express his Families ways more.

Chapter 2: Quarrel and Shock

A Whole three weeks passed by quite peacefully. Bellatrix got her prank, Remus returned looking pale but happy.

As for Sirius maybe it was because his Mother managed to punish him within school that he decided to rebel against their ways even more.

He'd insulted Pure-Bloods, he'd played Pranks, he supported Gryffindor the only thing he didn't do was make any contact with Muggle born people. He knew Bellatrix was watching him with her quill ready. But it was difficult to stay out of the way with James trying to grab Lilly Evans for his own. Sirius had caught some looks from passing girls but he was "Black" and wasn't good to mix with.

Lily Evans was a muggle born and James made Sirius swear to help him, but Sirius didn't. Sirius wouldn't even look at her. This made James feel frustrated. He consulted him one night in the Dormitories. It was after a long day of work and Sirius just wanted to go to bed. He hadn't worked hard because he had copied Remus' notes but he still felt tired.

"You know, it's hard to get Evans when you won't even look at her! You act as if she is contaminated, you won't go too close and you never say hello! What's wrong, don't tell me you're transforming into one of them," James said fiercely folding his arms.

"Of Course not," Sirius said hotly, how could James think such a thing?

"Then why?" James asked him again.

"I… nothing…" Sirius said and he grimaced under the disgusted glare James had given him. James; mouth was opening when a black owl floated in and dropped an envelope on Sirius' lap. He opened it, and read the jagged writing he knew to be his fathers.

Sirius Black

I have been informed from reliable sources that you have been Pulling Pranks and insulting very well Pure-Blood Families. These sources are telling me you are associating with that Potter, a bunch of traitors for family! I have received information you have been assisting him in a plan that involves a Mudblood. How much more can you be a shame to us? Why can't you be like Regulus? I hope you understand just how angry your Family is! You are Spoiling the noble name of Black! I hope you know that when you get home just how angry we are at you, unless you straighten up your act… you know what happens to you.

Your mother would like to add that this is your last chance to stop being a spoilt little Wretch and act like a Black! Stop putting shame to our most ancient and noble reputation and name!

Mother and Father

Sirius laughed it off; he made his eyes sparkle and his cheeks glow.

"Who was it?" James asked.

"Just my Parents, gits, as usual… anyway, have you see the moon?" Sirius said quickly changing the subject.

"Yeah, almost full," Said Peter.

"Oh, yeah, guys," Remus began, "I have to go and see my mother soon," The other three nodded. Sirius stared at him for a while wondering if he could do that I-know-that's-a-lie look but after a few minutes he decided it wasn't working.

"So, Sirius, about Evans why don't you treat her like an equal?" James asked persisting in the argument before.

"I do, James, I just…" Sirius began,

"Just what, Sirius?" James shouted, "You just can't bear to look at her, or you just can't stoop down to say hello?"

"No…" Began again, "I'm not dark…"

"Oh yeah? You think we didn't hear you talking about those dark curses with Bellatrix?" Suddenly a memory came back of when Bellatrix was teasing him about some pretty Dark curses that he had seen and even had been hut by. He then told her that she was no better and he would take delight in hitting her with a few curses.

"That? That was nothing…" Sirius said.

"Didn't sound like it, Sirius, you're getting dark. I haven't seen you look at anyone but us and pure-bloods. It's getting a bit sick…"

"So that's what I am, then?" Sirius burst out, "Sick? Well if you're even thinking I'm like my Family you've got another thing coming! You're so thick,"

"That's me, eh? The thick one? Just like the others, well, if you're going to be so idiotic then maybe I agree with them!" Snarled James in such a way it would put Slytherins to shame. Remus look torn between his pity for Sirius and his agreement with James. Peter was snoring loudly now.

"Just shut up, will you?" Sirius raged flinging himself into bed.

"Not until I get an answer!" James persisted jumping onto Sirius' bed.

"Then keep talking!" Sirius said harshly. They hadn't noticed it had grown dark and Remus was falling into the temptation of sleep. Remus didn't feel comfortable, something was wrong, why were they fighting?

"I know spells that would shock you James!" Sirius threatened. That was the last thing Remus heard before drifting into a sleepless night.

When everyone roused James and Sirius didn't look at each other, they simply walked past and sorted anything that needed to be.

In charms that day Remus was surprised to see Sirius taking is own notes, even more surprised to see he didn't wink at anyone. After lessons had finished for the day Remus could do nothing but feel sorry for Sirius. The glances Sirius got were 100 times worse.

"Maybe we should say sorry," Suggested Remus,

"Did you hear what he said?" James asked. Remus shook his head, "He said he knew things that would shock me. He said he was not going to say anything and I'd have to crucio him if I wanted information. I didn't even know he that curse!" Remus felt even more saddened. How could Sirius know about a curse like that without, as far as Remus could see, reading books about them?

Suddenly a black owl flew into the common room, a letter landed beside Sirius who picked it up and sighed, he walked up the stairs and into the boys' Dormitories. Remus decided to follow him.

As Remus peeked through the slightly open door he saw Sirius sitting on his bed. He was reading a letter but quickly threw it away into the bin.

"Evil gits," He said to the empty room, "Stay away from them, your family is watching. Yeah, right, Family. That's better than James' best joke ever." Remus felt slightly disturbed at what he was hearing. "I hate the lot of them, I've had a reputation from day one and now James has turned on me just because he's too thick to see when he can't help! Who am I kidding? If I have to follow their ways to be accepted into them then I'd rather be me, I'll just be as nice to Muggle borns as I ever was and if they don't like it I guess I'll have to accept that," Suddenly Sirius felt much better, he made a mental note to say sorry to his best friend and then he pretended to sleep. Remus snuck up quietly and fished out the letter from Sirius' Family.

Sirius Black

I have heard that you were not associating with that traitor Potter, and that is just as well. You had I and your Father fit to burst, not to mention you're other Relatives whom have all added less to your Money amount in their wills. As for your other friends stay away from them, Your Family is watching, the noblest house of Black instructs you to make real friends. And a more Black Reputation! So I and the rest of the Family strongly command you get better Friends and Reputations, you don't want them to cause you any pain do you?

Mother

Sirius had scribbled a lot of violent retorts at the bottom, the milder ones being, "I'd rather eat balls than live like you" or "Shut up, you sad, mad git!"

Remus was surprised by Sirius' hate for his family. He didn't know what to do but he knew he was shocked.
