Okay I'm very sorry that I'm a lazy peice of crap. 'm not going to make up excuses except that my dads cancer is out of remission and I've been helping to take care of him. But anyways Harry and Co are finally here and Snape. You'll get more interaction with Snape and Harry with Regulus in the next chapter. I'm sorry please love me. Sorry about any mistakes too.
It was the middle of the day now and Regulus watched in amusement as Sirius still pouting about Snape coming to visit later tonight. No matter how much Sirius had argued Dumbledore didn't change his mind. Sirius acted like his favorite pet just died. Minerva had told him to suck it up and behave like Sirius was one of her students again. Regulus liked her. As much as he found Sirius pouting amusing it was kinda starting to get annoying to Regulus. But Regulus was glad Mrs. Weasley told him to stop being a child and he didn't have to say it. The last thing Sirius would want is to reprimand by his own baby brother right now.
With most of the Order members have gone meaning Alastor, Kingsley and the two professor while Remus, Tonks and Charle stayed. Regulus headache subsided must to his relief. Currently Regulus was in a game of chess with Remus in the living room, Remus out of Sirius's friends was the only one who was polite to him so interacting with him wasn't uncomfortable if it was James or Peter , Regulus wouldn't even talk to them. Also the fact was Sirius, James and Peter were horrible at chess. But not Remus. Unbeknownst to Remus's friends when they were in Hogwarts in the library Regulus and him would play chess from time to time. They weren't friends, when you have nothing to do and your friends are stuck in detention. Why not play chess?
To Regulus left Tonks was sitting and watching them, he honestly thought the only reason she stayed was because Remus was staying. To his right in a lone chair that was brought from the kitchen was Charle. They where half way though the game of chess when the front door opened and two red head twins stumbled in and as they came through Charle and his parents brightened at the sight of them.
"Charle!""Charle!" The twins greeted with wide grins and arms open. Charle grinned in return and hugged them. Mr. Weasley had joined in the hug while Mrs. Weasley had a crossed face with them and her hand were to her hips.
"Where have you two been?" She said in a firm tone as the group let go of each other. "You suppose to arrive hours ago." Regulus could tell she was trying not to smile at them.
"Getting supplies." The one to the right answer and Mrs. Weasley frowned.
"What supplies?"
This time the one to the left spoke. "School supplies." They both grinned and Regulus knew that was a lie and Mrs. Weasley rolled her eyes. It seems she couldn't stay mad at them for long. Regulus study them closely, the twins had the same hair as Charle, the have a pale complexion and freckles about their face and a mischievous spark in their eyes but Regulus could tell they has kind eyes, one more then the other. The one to the left caught Regulus eye, the young man was personally seemed more tamed then his brothers something about him was triggering something in his mind. Regulus looked away as flashes of a small picture frame was shown to him and inside the picture was a man. It was hard to make out the details still but the same grin and spark in the eyes where in the man. The frame stood out it was black and decorated suddenly in the memory Bellatrix was standing before him so angry.
"Regulus?" Remus' voice broke him out of the memory. Regulus looked up at him and smiled.
"I'm fine." He waved off Remus's concern and made his move in the chess game. In the corner of Regulus eye was Sirius eyeing him so not to worry anymore people or just not wanting to be bothered with, he left the memory alone for right now.
Regulus was later introduce to the twins by Charle after they went through greeting the others. Their names are Fred and George to say they were interesting was an understatement statement, they loved to ruffle the others feathers. Regulus could tell they must get in trouble a lot at school and could get away with a lot of things.
"How come you never told us you had a brother?" Fred made himself sound hurt but the grin was tell that he was joking. For Sirius this was an awkward moment because he couldn't tell them that his former dead brother is not dead anymore. Luckily Regulus had saved him from that.
"I have health problems so due to Sirius being locked up and my parents death, I had been put in to hospital during his time in a cell until Dumbledore has deemed Sirius well enough, I was just recently placed into his care." The lie left Regulus mouth with ease. Sirius was impressed but also very disturbed that his little brother could lie so easily but it saved his ass right now. Regulus was pleased that the twins were satisfied by that answer and they proceeded to ask him questions as a mother red head boy and this time a red head girl came. Ron Weasley and the youngest of the Weasley's, Ginny. Ah shit, his headache was starting to slowly come back. The girl was quite unlike her brothers who were noisy. Regulus found Ron unpleasant though and kind of rude even more so when he was asked what house he was in and when Regulus answered, Ron gave a look of disgust.
"Your a slimy Slytherin." Ron said in disgust sneer it didn't faze Regulus at all. Mrs. Weasley whipped around so fast that it even surprised Regulus and hit Ron on the back of his head with a kitchen towel.
"Ron Weasley! This is Sirius' home and you are being rude to his brother. I will not have any of that. Apologize!" Mrs. Weasley pointed her finger at her son and Ron paled, he whispered an forced apology. Regulus shrugged it off as if it wasn't a big deal. It really wasn't. The twins had snickered at Ron and Ginny crossed her arms at Ron's immaturity. Regulus did not care for what Ron thought of him, he stopped caring a long time ago. For the rest of the time it was awkward Ron kept glaring at him as he finishes the game with Remus it was a close call but Regulus won in the end. It was a great comfort to know he still a chess play in his belt.
After the game of chess the twins had started to tel Regulus stories about their time in Hogwarts. When they had told him that Snape was a teacher. Regulus burst out laughing and everyone one in the room went quite. Sirius had heard his brother laugh loudly but never seen him laughing hysterically before and neither did Remus. Regulus was always in control of him self and was very reserved in his manors. To say this was interesting to Sirius was an understatement.
A few seconds in to the laugh, Regulus suddenly changed he clenched this right side in pain and the laugh started to turn into a horrible wet coughing sound. It almost sounded like her had water in his chest almost. Regulus tried to stop himself from coughing more but it seems his body just couldn't stop and he was starting to panic because it was getting hard to breath. Regulus felt like he was suffocating he tried to focus on breathing but the more he focused the more he panicked, go figure.
"Regulus, are you okay?" Tonks asked voice laced with concern. Regulus nods his head after he coughed one last time. Good lord that was painful for him, the last time Regulus laughed like that was when one of his prissy cousins fell I'm a puddle of mud. He was six at that time and was very funny but not as funny as finding out Snape was a potions teacher. Regulus knew it wasn't that Snape hated children it was the man had no patience and had a quick temper. Regulus came back to earth as he felt Sirius near him, Regulus turned to look at him and saw his doubt.
"Really, I'm fine." Trying to make him self believable but in all honesty Regulus didn't know if he was OKAY. Even with all the magic and research no one had ever succeeded to make someone completely come back to life or just magically come back from the dead with no help from a witch or wizard. Regulus had many questions about his body but getting the answers would be very slim to none. Regulus was able to deter the situation back to a more less concerning one. He let the twins talk most of the time, Regulus would make comments here and there. He liked the twins they were at lot better then the Lestrange brothers, those boys were horrible to anything or anyone, pure blooded or not.
Hours later, Regulus almost snorted in amusement watching Fred and George pop in and out rooms then back behind their mother scaring her. A few hours earlier a girl with light brown bushy hair came to the house. Hermione Granger was her name very smart girl but very nosy yet all in all she was an okay young girl. Regulus noticed who Ron was just waiting for Regulus to say something about her being a muggle. Regulus never said anything about it and just politely answered any questions she had. It would come to much of a surprise to everyone Regulus honestly didn't care about those kind of things. Tonks left to pick up the young Potter awhile ago. As hours past Members of the Order came back and so did Regulus's headache along with stomach pains. He was magic sensitive but that didn't mean other magical signature would harm him it's his own. Regulus didn't do well with big crowds or gathering, just being worked up but it was a random trigger too. Regulus lend his head back on the couch and sighed.
"R-" Sirius started but never finished because of his brother.
"If you ask me one more time if I'm okay. I'm going to purposely throw up on you." Regulus said in a menacing tone with his eyes close and he wasn't joking about throwing up his stomach didn't feel right. Sirius tried not to grin at his brother annoyance but he kept his mouth shut, Sirius didn't want to test how far his brother would go on that threat.
"Black!" Alastor called from the kitchen. Both Regulus and Sirius turn their heads to the man.
"Which one?" Both brother asked at the same time.
"Sirius, now let start this meeting!" Alastor said impatiently. Regulus cringed at how loud he was being, if he wasn't careful the man was going to wake up his mother and that is a reunion Regulus would like to avoid for the time being. He watched as his brother went into the kitchen. Regulus was now alone with the twins, Charle and Ron, Hermione minus Ginny who was up stairs in one of the guest bedrooms. It was a couple of minutes when Regulus felt a shift in the magical words in the House. Tonks walked in with a boy with round glasses and dark brown hair, he had a lighting bolt on the his forehead. Right away Regulus knew that this was Harry Potter. The young potter had James face but Lily's eyes.
Ron and Hermione light up at the sight of the young potter, they got up and went over to greet him. Regulus could tell that the boy wasn't in the best of moods probably from what had happen for what Regulus read in the news papers. The young potter used magic in front of a muggle. Regulus because uninterested in Harry as everyone started to greet him. As Harry got closer to the kitchen door and opened it the conversation that the Order was having stop almost immediately. Sirius got up from the set he was in with a big grin and hugged Harry. Everyone congregated in the kitchen except Regulus,he was starting to feel even sicker once Tonks had arrived with Harry. There was to many people in one house at the same time, it felt like there was a lot of pressure falling in Regulus. What made things worse was because of the commotion everyone was causing it woke up his mother. Screaming her head off about the filth in her house. The sound of her voice was like nails on a chalk board to Regulus. Good God even in death she doesn't shut up.
"Who is that screaming?" Harry asked
"That would be my lovely mother." Sirius said in a voice laced with sarcasm. Sirius started to yell back at his mother causing Regulus to cringe at both of their shrieking. To many people and yelling was the last straw for Regulus. He want to be alone for it to be quite. Get to Sirius's room just stay there, be sick somewhere no one will see. Regulus kept thinking in his head as he got up from the couch, his body was shaking Regulus shuffled his feet to the stairs, he was almost successful in being unnoticed but half way up Harry noticed him.
"Who are you?" He asked and Regulus ignored him and continued struggling up the stairs. Regulus was starting to have short of breath and the room was spinning. It was when Regulus tripped on the third step up in the stairs that Sirius notices and rushes to grab him underneath the arm. Regulus closed his eye from the sudden movement of Sirius steadying him on his feet.
"What's wrong?"
"Leave me alone" Regulus moaned under his breath. His symptoms were getting worse and he knew he was going to pass out soon.
"Who is he? What's wrong with him?" Harry asked but he got no answer from Sirius but Hermione hit him with her elbow and gave him a look to shut up but also whispered.
"That's Regulus, Sirius brother."
Voices to Regulus we're getting fainter for him. Sirius shook him and Regulus opened his eyes a little. "Stop...me" he tried to stay "stop shaking me" but it came out broken when Regulus started to pass out.
Regulus opened his eyes and all of a sudden he was standing in front of a mirror staring at himself. He looked around to see there was nothing but darkness. Just him and the mirror, Regulus looked back at the mirror and noticed his reflection did follow him. It just stared at him for a while. Soon the reflection changes to him wet, pale and blue lips and dead eyes. Regulus could feel his heart beat faster and his breathing was fast too. Regulus watched with wide eyes as it mouth opened and saw nothing but a bottomless pit, it didn't stay that way though. Hands rushed out from his reflections mouth towards his face.
Gasping Regulus woke up and saw a man looking down at him. The man had black hair, a grimace on his face and wore all black.
"It appears Dumbledore was telling the truth." The man paused and Regulus stared at him while trying to catch his breath.
"You haven't aged a day old friend."
"Snape?"
