Chapter 10 March
Remus was enjoying the quiet morning as he sat on the bed, now that Sirius and Harry are close, there wasn't a single quiet moment in the quarter. His peacefulness was soon destroyed as he heard feet pounding and moments later his bedroom door was banged open.
"REMUS! Remus! Get up!" Two voices shouted, soon after he felt two body's land on him. "We're going to Diagon Alley!"
He heard a snort and looked at Severus, who was casually leaning against the door frame.
"Hurry up and get ready," Severus called out as he walked out.
10 minutes later Remus stumbled into the living room, not looking anymore awake then he was when they woke him up.
"Eat, We're leaving in 20 minutes," Severus said.
—
Although Harry has been here once, he still looked at everything in awe. Sirius was pulling him towards the quidditch supplies store although he has no memory of where it is.
"Guys! Slow down!" Remus shouted.
The boys continued to run until Harry bumped into someone.
"Ow, sorry," he said as he looked up. He saw a tall platinum blonde haired man holding a cane, and standing next to him was a woman with the same blonde hair with black streaks Standing in the middle was a young boy who also had blonde hair and grey eyes.
"Watch where you're going brat," The man practically growled.
"Father! That's Harry Potter!" The boy shouted, pointing at Harry's scar. The man whispered something in his ear, causing the boy to blush.
Sirius glared at them as Severus and Remus caught up.
"Lucius, Narcissa, long time no see," Severus said, "I hope you are well."
"Severus, Lupin," Lucius greeted, "Yes, it has been a long time."
"Severus, who are these two boys?" Narcissa asked, gesturing to Sirius and Harry.
"These are my" Severus stopped, "Brothers."
"Brothers?" Lucius began to say but was interrupted.
"Cissy? How come you grew so big?" Sirius asked.
Everyone turned to look at Sirius in shock. No one had called Narcissa this nickname and the only boy who she would ever accept to call her that was...
"Sirius?" Narcissa asked.
Sirius looked up at her eagerly, "Yeah!"
Narcissa turned to Severus, "What did you do to him, Severus Snape?!"
"I-I what?" Severus stuttered. Why is it that every time something happens to the little brats, he's the one who gets blamed.
Narcissa turned to Lucius and motioned for him to say something, "Severus, Lupin, if you guys are not busy, do you want to come over to the manor?" Lucius asked.
Severus looked at Remus, and at his nod, Severus said, "Yes, of course, Lucius. Should we meet at the apothecary?"
Lucius rolled his eyes and Remus muttered "potions dork," causing Severus to glare at them.
"Oof!" Harry called out as he tumbled forward upon their arrival at the gates of Malfoy Manor. Unlike the others, he had only tried apparation twice and still wasn't used to it.
"Woah!" He gasped as he looked at the place in awe. He heard the adults chuckle behind him but was too surprised to care. This place was like a castle. Draco tried to look arrogant and smug and brag about his wealth, but ended up losing the interest of both other boys.
"Come! Let me show you our quidditch pitch!" Draco yelled. He was excited about this, even though he didn't know who the other kid was. Usually, he was alone with no one to play with except for the elves, and sometimes Goyle and Crabbe would come over but they were thick and usually didn't understand anything.
"Boys! Slow down!" Lucius shouted as they entered the manor.
"Do you guys have spare brooms?" Sirius asked.
"Of course we do," Draco sneered, back to his usual cocky self. Sirius raised an eyebrow and Draco smirked. Draco led them towards the shed where they each took one.
"Father says it's a crime if I'm not picked to play for my house," Draco smirked, "and I must say, I agree. I've been on the broom ever since I was born."
"I'm sure you'll think differently after you see Harry fly," Sirius gloated. Draco's smirk dropped as he glared at him.
"Well, Potter, let's see how well you fly," he said.
Harry looked unsure, then got on the broom and flew off.
Draco turned to Sirius, "You'll see that I will be Potter's best friend, not you, you filthy little mudblood,"
Sirius's face turned red as he lunged at Draco, but the blonde must have sensed that move and quickly jumped on his broom and flew away.
—
Sirius was flying up when he felt himself being pulled back. He turned around and saw Draco hanging onto his broom,
"Let go of my broom," He snapped, Draco just smirked and continued to hold on the end of his broom. Sirius turned around, and used one hand to grip the broom and used the other hand to try to push his hands off.
Sirius lost the grip on the broom as he fell off his broom, pulling Draco with him. They landed on the ground with a loud thump.
"Get off me," Draco hissed, as he pushed Sirius, and stood up.
"Don't push me," Sirius spat, as he turned around and shoved Draco. Surprised by this shove, Draco tumbled back a few steps, then he narrowed his eyes and lunged at Sirius.
Sirius hit Draco on the eye as he felt Draco repeatedly punch him in the stomach. Harry stood there in shock.
"Sirius Orion Black!"
"Draco Lucius Malfoy!" Four simultaneous voices shouted both boys froze.
—
"Firewhiskey?" Lucius asked after they settled down on the couch.
"I think tea should be fine," Narcissa said after sending a sharp look at Lucius. Honestly, it was four in the afternoon.
"So, can anyone enlighten me on what had happened?" Lucius asked.
Severus spent the next half an hour explaining what happened in the past month, with Remus occasionally interrupting and adding something.
"So, that is why he called you Cissy," Severus explained, "He remembers parts of his childhood but other times it's just a blur."
"We were so close," Narcissa whispered, a lonely tear trickling down her cheek, "Until Walburga burnt him off the family tree."
The quartet sat in silence with the exception of Narcissa's quiet sobs. Suddenly, a loud thump outside caught their attention.
Severus quickly stood up followed by Lucius and Remus, together, they walked towards the quidditch field. Upon arriving at the quidditch field, at first they didn't see anything peculiar, getting closer, they saw a blonde and a dark haired boy fighting on the ground.
"Sirius Orion Black!" Severus and Remus shouted,
"Draco Lucius Malfoy!" Lucius and Narcissa shouted together.
Both boys froze and then got up. Sirius turned and saw the angry looks on his two elder brother's face and gulped.
"What is going on here?" Lucius demanded, staring directly at Draco, who seemed to pale more.
"He started it!" Draco shouted, pointing at Sirius, "He pushed me off my broom!"
Sirius stared at him for a second then narrowed his eyes, "You were holding on to the broom, you were the one who pulled me off!" he screamed.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Enough! someone roared, everyone turned to see a livid Severus glaring at Sirius. "Lucius, may I borrow your study?" He asked, trying to control his anger, Lucius nodded.
"Sirius Orion Black, follow me," He hissed, before turning abruptly and started walking into the manor.
Harry froze at the sight of the two boys fighting, it reminded him too much of the Dursley's. It wasn't until he heard someone repeatedly say his name, did he snap back into reality. He looked at the concerning faces of Remus and Narcissa.
"Harry are you okay?" Remus asked, Harry nodded.
"Where's Sirius and Draco?" He asked,
"Sirius is in Lucius's study and Draco is in his bedroom," Narcissa replied. "Are you sure your alright?" She asked in concern, "Why don't we go inside and get you some hot chocolate?"
—
"Sirius Black you better have a good explanation on your atrocious behavior," Severus managed to seeth out when they entered the room.
"It wasn't my faaaaauuuuultttttt," Sirius whined,
"Do not whine at me," Severus said, with his lips set in a thin line.
"But he pushed me first!" Sirius huffed, scowling slightly,
"Owwww," he said as he rubbed the place where his brother just smacked.
"You are two years older than Draco, not to mention taller and supposedly more mature," Severus breaths heavily as he tried to control his temper.
"I didn't mean to..." He started to say but trailed off, "H-he called me a mudblood!"
Severus stared at the boy in front of him and went silent for a long time.
"He called you a mudblood?" He finally asked, anger clearly still laced in his voice. Sirius nodded, still looking at the ground.
Severus sighed loudly, the word swirling around in his mind. Everyone knew how much he despised and hated that word, even his Slytherin's didn't dare say it in front of him. The first and last time he used that name had caused him more pain then he can ever endure. Because of that despicable word he has lost the love of his life. Despite that day destroying him inside and out, he will never forget it.
"Stand in the corner, I need to talk to Lucius," He said, despite having his usual sneer, there was clear emotion in his voice.
—
Severus knocked harshly on the door, without waiting for an answer he opened the door but without success.
"Lucius!" He said knocking again, "Open the door!" Severus almost fell forward when the door opened swiftly revealing a grim-faced Lucius and a red-eyed and still sobbing Draco standing in the far corner.
"What is it, Severus?" Lucius asked impatiently.
"I need to talk to you outside?" He replied, as Lucius stepped outside, he waved a hand and put up a silencing spell.
"You know how much I hate that word," Severus hissed,
"What do you mean?" Lucius asked,
"How much pain that word caused me," he growled,
"Severus, get to the point," Lucius demanded,
"He called Sirius Black a mudblood!"
Lucius paled, "H-he what?" Although the Malfoy's were still richer than many other wizarding families such as the Weasley's, a lot of their money had been used while bribing the ministry. Half of the money also comes from his wife's family, the Blacks, as Sirius is the only male member of the Black family left. He shook his head as he thought about the consequences.
"Severus, you know how I disapprove of that word equally as you," Lucius stuttered. "I have never said that word in front of Draco". He regrets that he joined the dark lord, never in his life would he allow his precious son follow in his footsteps, which is one of the reasons he tried to control himself from saying that word.
Lucius's face turned red as he canceled the silencing charm and opened the door,
"Draco Lucius Malfoy!" He shouted, "Where did you hear the word mudblood?"
Draco hurried back towards the corner seconds before the door opened, hearing the sound of the door opening, he froze.
"W-what?" He asked, "I-I-Nott said it once,"
Lucius shook his head, "Don't you ever say that disgusting word again, it is shameless repulsive, just because Nott says it doesn't mean you should repeat it,"
"But he pushed me off my brooooom, Uncle Sev!" Draco whined, "Why isn't he getting punished".
"He is going to be punished as well," Severus replied, "Now, do I have your promise that you will never repeat that word ever again?"
"Yes Sir," Draco replied.
—
An hour later, both Draco and Sirius had come down and forcefully apologized to each other. After they got out of the floo, they heard a piercing shout, "Where have you been!"
The four brothers winced and turned around, looking at the furious Minerva.
"W-we were at Diagon Alley," Severus replied, they completely forgot to tell their parents.
"Are you guys okay?" Albus asked, his eyes twinkling, the boys nodded.
Minerva turned and looked at all the boys in concern and gasped as she saw Sirius's face, "What happened?" She asked,
"Draco hit me," Sirius replied, "And then Severus punished me,"
"Draco? As in Draco Malfoy?" Minerva questioned, "and Severus punished you?"
Annoyance swept over Severus' face, "We met the Malfoy's while in Diagon Alley, and then went to their manor," he explained,
"He," Severus pointed at Sirius, "and Draco decided to fight on the quidditch pitch, so I punished him".
"If you guys are done here, I will bring Harry to his room, I think today wore him out" Remus interrupted.
"If you guys think you've handled it well, then okay, we're done," Minerva sighed, "But if you guys ever go by yourselves without telling us, there will be consequences".
"Come on Sirius, let's take you to the Hospital wing to get your bruises fixed," Albus said.
