Hawk eyes
Yeah she's got control
Of my mind
And she's got my soul
-Hawk Eyes (The Kicks)
"Are you sure we're prepared for this?" I asked Regulus' nervously. It was Friday and we were standing in the corridor outside the Defense classroom. All we had to do was get through this project and we'd be officially on holiday break.
"Yes, Katherine." He told me rolling his eyes. Not that I could blame him. For one I had forced him to go over spell books for the past four days in the library during pretty much any minute of spare time; for two I had been asking the same question pretty much every five minutes sense breakfast this morning.
"So you remember…" He interrupted me before I could finish.
"I remember everything; now don't worry you'll be spectacular just don't let your nerves get in the way." He said. We still had about five minutes before class started and I carefully observed the other students. Remus was standing across from us with Peter going over what looked like last minute things. James was whispering into Lily's ear (nothing out of the usual there.) My eyes then fell on Sirius who had, much to my great amusement, been paired with Mary.
"I do not envy him one bit." Regulus whispered into my ear sounding amused. I laughed gleefully, you would too if you saw the look on Sirius' face every time Mary tried to run her hand up his arm. His skin had paled considerably and his grey eyes were wide as he tried to move discreetly away from her. However, it was like Mary was a vulture and Sirius was her prey. Her hand accidently brushed Sirius' bum and with a yelp he was out of there.
"Oh, look there's my little brother I uh must go speak with him; you know family matters and such." Sirius yelled and bolted leaving a very angry Mary in his wake. I was too busy laughing my arse off to notice him approach.
"Did she just pinch your bum?" I asked Sirius gasping for air. Regulus was fighting hard to control his laughter as well. Sirius nodded his head weakly.
"If we end up dueling you two please, I'm begging you, perform a memory charm on her so she forgets who I am." Sirius said looking at his younger brother eyes full of hope. Regulus looked at me and my laughter got even louder.
"Why on earth would we want her to forget you?" I asked faking stupidity. Mary was looking at us curiously.
"She's such a nice girl. I think you two would be just lovely together." Regulus added happily.
"You could use her hair gel and I bet she might let you borrow some of her make up; we all know how you're about your appearance." I added thoughtfully. Sirius' face was forming a disgusted scowl.
"Merlin knows she has enough on right now for the both of you." Regulus muttered underneath his breath. It was true too. Mary would actually be quite pretty if she didn't have layer after layer of makeup caked on.
"You two are evil." He muttered darkly.
"Siri, we can go into the classroom now!" Mary called out as the doors opened up and people began filing in. Ah, right on cue.
"Siri?" A horrified Sirius asked us.
"Aw, what a sweet nickname!" I said imitating Mary's shrill voice. Regulus pulled me by the hand and into the classroom; leaving Siri all alone with Mary. That was such a nice way to calm my nerves. The professor was standing at the front of the classroom and the desks had been cleared away to make room for the duels. Well, I suppose if I wanted to be in the Order once I graduated I needed to get over my nerves.
"Class I'm going to ask you all to stand along the walls." There was a lot of shuffling as people began to situate themselves. Regulus and I ended up next to Lily and James in a corner of the classroom.
"Now once I call names you will all bow to your opponent to signify the start of the duel." Professor Kapla said. Why the hell would we bow? It's not like Death Eaters are going to be all nice and polite before they try and kill you. Regulus must be having the same thoughts, because he rolled his eyes. "You all know the rules. Curses that are used to torture, or kill are obviously banned. It appalls me that I have to say this, but it is necessary in the world we live in today." The professor continued, and Mulciber smirked superiorly looking around the classroom. His eyes landed on Regulus and me. I was itching to duel him again; even though he disregarded the rules. He was well aware that Voldemort didn't require Hogwarts' Diplomas to join up in his ranks. Again I had feeling that Regulus was doing his legilimency, because he squeezed my shoulder gently.
"The first pairing will be Mr. Black and Ms. MacDonald against Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans." Lucky bastards. They got off easy having to battle two other Gryffindors. At least they knew for sure the spells would be clean. As they approached the center of the room Sirius looked a little apprehensive dueling James and Lily. It was probably a little bit awkward to have to duel your best mate and his girlfriend. Mary on the other hand looked relieved that she didn't have to duel Mulciber. I remembered fifth year Mulciber had cursed Mary so her ears had begun to shrivel up. It was terrible, and the only reason he wasn't expelled, was you guessed it Rosier's dad.
"Begin." Kapla said and stepped back to observe. James smiled apologetically at Sirius and they both bowed as well as the girls. Then curses were flying. What surprised me was the way Lily and Sirius paired off while James and Mary battled. Lily's flaming red hair was whipping madly around as she jumped to avoid Sirius' spells. She held her own though and soon Sirius had to duck to avoid a nasty bat-bogey hex. They were pretty evenly matched. James on the other hand wasn't even firing hexes at Mary. He knew that she had trouble with nonverbal spells so it wasn't even a competition. All he had to do was use a simple protego each time. It was obvious James was incredible at dueling.
"Stupefy." Mary cried out. James blocked it with a lazy flick of his wand and laughed.
"You can do better than that MacDonald!" He said with a smirk, but it quickly disappeared when his wand shot out of his hand and landed near Sirius' feet.
"We did it Siri! We make such a good team!" Mary cried out happily and went to throw her arms around Sirius who conveniently moved to the side as she jumped at him. Technically I would blame that win more on James' cockiness and Sirius' quick reflexes, but all the same if Mary knew how to cast a nonverbal James' cockiness wouldn't have gotten in the way. Well done MacDonald!
"Excellent Mr. Black." Kapla said in praise. Sirius grinned sheepishly at James and tossed his wand back.
"What have I told you about lack of focus?" Lily cried out. Clearly, she did not like to lose. James turned bright red.
"Alright, class next up…" Professor Kapla said ushering those four out of the open space reserved for the duels. It went on like that for the next hour; nothing too terribly exciting. Peter had managed to catch Remus' robes on fire when they were up against Marlene and Benjy. I was still trying to work that one out. No offense to Peter, but his magical abilities just weren't up to par with the other three. I felt bad though, because he did try really hard and the fact that he looked like he was going to burst into tears when he couldn't remember the charm to put out the fire (aguamenti) made me feel worse. Regulus was shaking from silent laughter and earned a nasty glare from Sirius and James.
There were only a couple groups left. Regulus and I, Mulciber who had ended up pairing with Goyle, a Ravenclaw whose name I didn't know partnered with Snivellus, and then that Hufflepuff who was a marauder fan club member paired with another badger.
"Nice try." Professor Kapla said to Remus (who had done excellent on his own) and Peter as they lined back up against the wall. I elbowed Regulus in the stomach when he snorted. "Next up is Ms. McEwen and Mr. Black against…" He paused as he looked down at his list again. "Mr. Goyle and Mr. Mulciber." Regulus' body tensed completely. I smirked, because I knew I was ready for this.
"Katherine, leave Mulciber to me." Regulus whispered furiously into my ear as I started to walk up there. I shook my head furiously.
"No way." I told him determinedly. Mulciber and Goyle were already waiting for us. Sirius's face was full of concern and he had his wand grasped in his hand. Remus was in the same position.
"Hurry up you two." Professor Kapla said. Regulus walked ahead of me and tried to block me from view. I rolled my eyes. Goyle would be easy to take care of as he was quite possibly one of the dumbest human beings I had ever heard speak. I was trying to understand how he had managed to scrape an O.W.L. in this class.
"You know the drill you must bow." Kapla said. He looked a little worried at the look Mulciber was giving me. Next time, maybe he should be a little bit more careful of who he pairs up. I forced myself to bow; while Regulus barely inclined his neck. Mulciber and Goyle did the same.
The first one to throw the hex was Goyle who aimed at Regulus; who blocked it easily. Mulciber and I just circled each other staring the other one down. Goyle continued to fire hexes, but only at Regulus. That must have been their game plan; Keep him distracted so I was free for the taking. Patience was never something I was good with and I shot the first spell, Mulciber grinned manically but had to jump out of the way of my stunning spell. It barely missed Sirius who was observing us carefully. A purple light came hurtling at me and I blocked it with a simple 'protego.' Regulus shot a spell at Mulciber which barely missed him. He couldn't really do anything else, because of Goyle and I could tell it was really frustrating him.
Pretty soon it looked like a full out war zone. Professor Kapla was watching us intensely. I was throwing curses and quickly dodging them from Mulciber. He was hopping out of the way and a few of the curses that missed me looked like dark magic from the impact they had on the wall behind me, but we still kept going. In all honesty we probably could have won by now if Regulus would have stopped trying to defend me and battle Goyle at the same time. This needed to end now.
"Conjunctivitis." I yelled and it hit Mulciber right between the eyes at the same time Regulus had used levicorpus on Goyle; who while hanging upside dropped his wand. Mulciber was clutching his eyes when Regulus disarmed him.
"Fantastic!" Professor Kapla said, but went forward to use a quick spell to clean up Mulciber. Godric, he sounded like an overgrown baby with all of the bitching he was doing. When he could see again he stared me down with a glare.
"Are you alright?" Regulus asked as he looked me up and down. My robes were singed from a curse, but besides that I was fine just incredibly exhausted. Mulciber was better than I had originally thought; probably, because I had only ever experience his fists rather than his wand work.
"Yes I am I'm just glad we beat them." I told him happily. He was virtually untouched, and from the few glimpses I saw of him during the duel he had just as much of a talent for it as his brother, possibly even more. They both had shown that they could battle two people at once.
"Get your disgusting little mudblood hands off my wand." Mulciber snarled at me and went to rip it out of my hand. I hadn't even realized I had a hold of it still.
"Twenty points from Slytherin for derogatory comments Mr. Mulciber." Professor Kapla cried out sounding shocked. My jaw clenched and I brought my hand up to just smack that triumphant look right off of Mulciber's face, but Regulus' fist beat me to it. There was a sickening crunch as it made contact with Mulciber's nose.
"Don't you dare talk to her like that!" He snapped at the boy clutching his nose; which was bleeding profusely.
"Another twenty points from Slytherin for violence Mr. Black!" Professor Kapla yelled looking incredibly frustrated.
"Great the disgusting blood traitor lost us more points." Goyle mumbled underneath his breath. Only someone as incompetent as him would be concerned with points at this point.
"Better a blood traitor then someone as completely useless as you." Remus spat out. Regulus looked completely surprised that Remus had come to his defense.
"I wouldn't be talking about blood if I were you Lupin." Snivellus muttered underneath his breath and I snapped. I began walking towards him furiously, but Regulus grabbed me by the waist and for the second time that day someone beat me to the punch. Literally. The slap Lily Evans just delivered echoed all around Hogwarts.
"You disgust me." She snapped as Snape clutched his cheek were a red handprint appeared against his waxy skin.
"That is enough!" Professor Kapla screeched. Merlin did he looked pissed. "That's another forty points from Slytherin and Gryffindor each. Mr. Goyle please escort Mr. Mulciber to the hospital wing. The rest of the duels are postponed till after break. All of you just go." He said exasperatedly. I'd be really surprised if he even made it through the rest of the school year. It's not like he would be back next year; none of the Defense professor's ever were. Mulciber and Goyle were out the door quickly as were the rest of the Slytherins.
"Lily Evans I love you." James cried and picked her up off her feet and spun her around. She let out a giggle, and I have to say I was pretty impressed by her. I didn't think Evans would have it in her to slap her former best friend.
"What else is new?" Sirius snapped and stormed out of the classroom. Peter followed him closely.
"Let's go." I told Regulus who nodded his head and began to walk towards the door with me, but stopped and turned around.
"Lupin." He said. Remus turned and looked at him questioningly.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Thanks for you know saying that." Regulus told him and held out his hand for him to shake. I watched Remus carefully, and was relieved when he held out his own as well.
"It's not a problem mate." He said. Regulus nodded his head and I smiled widely. "Look I better go and find Sirius before he does something incredibly stupid. I'll see you two around later."
"Bye Remmy." I called after his retreating back. He gave me the one finger salute in return. Regulus laughed lightly as we walked down the corridor.
"I'm glad you're making an effort to be nice to him. It really does mean a lot to me." I said earnestly.
"He's not so bad. I give him a lot of credit for putting up with and my brother for so long." Regulus told me. I snorted and gave him a playful shove.
"Now you're the one that's stuck with me." I said looking up into his stormy eyes and he pulled me closer.
"How did I get so lucky?" He asked kissing my head lightly. My heart sped up and I ducked down knowing my cheeks were pink.
I pulled away slightly. It was about eleven that night and Regulus and I were attempting to say good bye outside the portrait hole. At the moment I was pinned between him and the stone wall.
"I've still got to pack." I told him reluctantly, but didn't resist when he pressed his lips against mine again. Every time I was with him every kiss seemed more intense and passionate. I bit his bottom lip lightly and he fiddled with the top button of my blouse. He pulled away and his eyes met mine as if asking permission. As an answer I pulled him closer, and kissed him hard. The button came loose as did the next one and Regulus began to kiss my neck; while I ran my fingers lightly through his hair. Things were just starting to get even more intense when we heard footsteps approaching and sprang apart. I looked right into the watery eyes of Peter Pettigrew.
"Oh, uh, I'm so-o so-r-ry." He stuttered out, but continued staring at me and my face flushed. It felt like he was undressing me with his eyes and I quickly buttoned my shirt up again as high as the buttons went.
"Something I can help you with Pettigrew?" Regulus snapped sensing how uncomfortable I was with the situation.
"No, I'll just…" He practically dove through the portrait hole after giving the password.
"I really hope your brother does not invite him to your house over break." I said giving a small shudder.
"No he is absolutely not allowed in that house. I do not want him around you or me. Especially after the way he was just gawking at you. I have a bad feeling about Pettigrew." Regulus said staring at the Fat Lady's portrait. She was drinking with one of her friend's and hadn't been paying too much attention to us.
"What do you mean?" I asked. Regulus let out a small sigh and ran a hand through his short black hair.
"I'm not sure. Don't you think that it's weird how he always use to follow the other three around and now he's gone off on his own a lot of the time?" He asked. I hadn't really thought about it, but truth be told Peter hadn't been around this much lately; not that I was complaining.
"Maybe he's trying to make new friends. Peter never did really fit in with the rest of them." I said. Regulus paused for a second before speaking.
"I suppose you're right, and I suppose you better go and finish packing." He said sternly and I laughed.
"I know, I know. Should I meet you in the great hall around nine tomorrow?" I asked. The train always left too early for my liking. He nodded his head and then pulled me close once again.
"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow." He whispered and kissed me full on the lips quickly. I nodded my expression dazed I was sure.
"Me too. Now hurry back to your dorm. Remus is patrolling tonight for the prefects so you shouldn't have to worry about getting into trouble." I told him and he rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry about me, goodnight." With that he put his hands in his pockets and left with a small smile on his face glancing back at me quickly. I turned towards the portrait of the Fat Lady who was looking down at me approvingly.
"He's a keeper for sure. Just so handsome, he could give his brother a run for his money." She said and giggled. Oh Godric, even the Fat Lady was a marauder fan girl.
"Pig Snout." I told her rolling my eyes.
"Excuse me?" The Fat Lady's friend asked shrilly.
"No don't worry Vi it's the password." She said and put a sympathetic hand on her shoulder and the door swung open.
I clambered in and noted the common room was packed. I supposed most people were exchanging Christmas presents with friends they wouldn't be seeing over the Holiday. I really did need to pack so I quickly made my way up to the dorm and hoped no one would try and grab my attention. For the most part people didn't bother me, but on the occasion sense Sirius had started talking to me more, fan girls would approach me and ask me the most random questions. For instance one blonde four year walked up and asked me if Sirius really washed his hair with Fire Whiskey to make it so shiny. I told her that he actually mixed it with pumpkin juice in the most serious voice I could muster. Remus, who had been standing nearby at the time, couldn't stop laughing for a good five minutes.
"Why doesn't he like me?" Was the first thing I heard as I walked into the dorm. Mary was sitting on her bed across from Marlene clutching her pillow looking hysteric. You would think from the way she was acting that someone had died. I walked over to my trunk hoping to avoid the conversation. Lately, the girls had been trying to include me more; which was nice but conversations like these were ones I wanted no part of.
"Mary, I've told you a million times he's not worth it." Marlene said in a soothing voice just as Lily joined the rest of us coming up from the common room. I was trying to pack my trunk neatly, but as of now I had pretty much everything stuffed unceremoniously in there. The only things that I had made sure to pack carefully where the Christmas ornaments and Regulus' present.
"Are you going on about Black again?" Lily asked in an irritated tone as she sat down on the end of Marlene's bed. It sounded to me like she was a little bitter still about the Duel. Usually she'd be much more sympathetic. Then again, Mary whining about Sirius was definitely not anything new. It had been going on sense about second year.
"I just don't understand why he won't even give me the time of day." She said with a stuffy nose. I continued to mind my own business.
"Maybe you need to try a different approach. Katherine, what do you think she should do to get Sirius to talk to her?" Marlene giving me a look that said please help me before I completely lose my mind. I reluctantly turned around and looked at the watery eyes of Mary; who happened to be giving me quite a dirty look and Lily just had a small smirk on her face. No idea what that was about.
"I don't really know. Regulus is my uh first real boyfriend so I don't have much experience." I said a little embarrassed. I was pretty sure that the three girls sitting in front of me were not lacking in it. Actually in Mary's case I was certain. MacDonald let out a small snort.
"You mean to tell me you and your little boyfriend haven't done the deed yet?" Mary asked in disbelief. My face turned even redder if that was possible. We hadn't even been dating for two months yet.
"Why is that any of your business?" I said defensively. Sorry I didn't jump into bed with just anybody like you did little Miss Easy.
"You're seriously still a virgin? I thought you and Remus had slept together from how close you two have always been. Besides Regulus is pretty fit, he's got nothing on his brother, but still." She said in shock. Apparently the status of my virginity was more of a hot topic then her many failed attempts of catching Sirius' eye.
"Regulus is much better looking and much kinder than his arrogant prat of a brother. Besides it's not like I'm the only seventh year virgin." I snapped and crossed my arms over my chest. She narrowed her eyes I'm sure my comment about her precious Sirikins stung.
"You might as well be." She snapped. "Even Lily has done it and we all know how much of a prude she is." Mary said with a laugh and Lily looked incredibly embarrassed. I was kind of surprised that she had actually slept with James. Sure I knew they had obviously fooled around but it's not like it was anybody else's business besides her and James'.
"Yes, well we all know how much of a bitch you're. Maybe if you didn't act like such a whore and stalk him all the time Sirius would be interested in you." I told her breathing heavily. Marlene's eyes went wide, but Lily laughed.
"You did not just say that!" Mary growled and tossed her pillow aside standing up.
"I totally just did." I said sarcastically. All I wanted to do was finish packing and I had to go and get dragged into this conversation.
"You stupid little…" Mary started to say with her eyes narrowed, but was interrupted by a sneeze. I looked at the other girls and they all looked equally confused considering none of us had made that noise.
"Hello?" Marlene called out nervously. We were all very quiet trying to listen in and then we heard it again.
"Achoo."
"Padfoot shut up!" A voice squeaked. Padfoot? That was Black's stupid arse nickname and that voice sounded just like…
"Pettigrew and Black I swear to merlin if you're in here underneath James' cloak I will murder you!" An irate Lily Evans screamed and got up and began reaching around in midair for who knows what. Mary got a horrified look on her face and dove underneath her covers. Marlene whipped out her wand and so did I.
"What cloak?" I asked her.
"James has an invisibility cloak." She said as she continued to reach into thin air. That explained so much, but I was too mortified to think about that. Black and Pettigrew were dead men hiding as far as I was concerned. I began swinging my arms around wildly. After a few seconds my arm connected with something very solid and very invisible.
"Fuck that hurt." Sirius fucking Black said. I grabbed a hold of some sort of soft and slippery material and low and behold there they were.
"What the bloody hell are you doing in here?" I demanded and pointed my wand directly at Black's throat, while Lily and Marlene did the same thing to Pettigrew; who looked like he had pissed himself.
"Oh this isn't the boy's dormitory?" Sirius said giving a nervous laugh. "My mistake we'll just be going then." He said and made to move towards the door. I don't think so. I pushed my wand up against his skin.
"Don't even think about it." I told him narrowing my eyes. Sure he was taller than me, but I brought myself to full height and he cowered.
"Oh come on love don't be like that." He said and touched the tip of my wand to move it away lightly. Red sparks flew out of it and he gulped.
"Why are you perverts in here?" Marlene demanded glowering down at Pettigrew whom she towered over, being quite tall herself and Pettigrew being awfully short.
"Sirius made me. He said he needed to find out information about McEwen." Peter said looking terrified.
"What the fuck Peter?" Sirius demanded angrily. Peter whimpered and his shoulders slumped. Thinking about what Regulus had said earlier, I definitely wouldn't trust Peter with anything important. All it took was one scary look from Marlene and he was offering up information just like that.
"What the hell did you want to know Black?" I snapped giving him a disgusted look.
"Oh trust me I found out plenty." He said giving me a glare and my face turned scarlet remembering the conversation we just had. Lily smacked the back of his head and grabbed him by his ear.
"Ow what the fuck is wrong with you woman?" Sirius demanded.
"Shut up and let's go I'm going to let James with you and trust me he won't be happy about this. Plus I'm giving you both two weeks' worth of detention! Sneaking around in the girl's dormitories I didn't think anything else you could do would surprise me, but low and behold." She growled and dragged him out of the girl's dormitory; while he groaned in pain.
"Ouch loosen the group woman!" He yelped. He's quite lucky that's all he was getting. I was too embarrassed by this whole situation and I had no idea what I was going to say to Regulus about this tomorrow morning.
"Don't even think about trying to scamper out of here Pettigrew." Marlene growled and Peter froze. She followed Lily's lead and grabbed him by the ear.
"You're lucky there are witnesses around or I would have murdered you, you creep!" She yelled as she dragged him out towards the common room. I buried my face in my hands when Mary finally popped out from underneath her covers.
"That was humiliating." Mary said as I looked up. Maybe, she does have some decency. "I can't believe Sirius saw me when I look this awful." She whined pointing to her face; which had mascara running down her blotchy red cheeks.
"Yes, well it's not like you have a chance with him anyways." I said angrily. She let out a scream of indignation and ran into the bathroom slamming the door shut. Bitches these days.
Regulus' P.O.V.
I left once I had made sure Katherine got back into the portrait hole alright. I was still pretty apprehensive about her wandering around on her own; even if was just walking to her common room. It really wasn't safe. Besides she made it really hard to leave whenever we kissed. I wasn't afraid to admit that I wanted her bad, but not just because she was bloody gorgeous. She was funny, intelligent, and accepted me for who I was. Probably the best thing about her was she didn't think she was any of those things. The way her cheeks turned red whenever we kissed drove me crazy. Katherine was shy, and sweet. She was addictive and I couldn't get enough of her. Merlin she had me wrapped around her finger and didn't even know it.
"Merlin Regulus you sound like a bloody girl." I said to myself shaking my head. All the same whenever I thought about her a smile graced my lips.
I got to the portrait hole and muttered the password. The common room was of course packed and the sneers I had now grown accustomed to receiving from my housemates met me the minute I was inside. I really needed to finish packing as well and it's not like I had much in common with any of the people down here to have a quick chat with anyways. All they ever talked about was the Dark Lord and his plans.
When I had first started talking to Katherine I was definitely apprehensive around her, but she never once just assumed anything about me. She gave me the benefit of the doubt, and it was refreshing to talk about things that didn't involve death.
"Regulus." A voice called from the bottom of the staircase. I turned around to see the pale blonde head of my cousin Narcissa; who was the only one that even bothered talking to me in the common room anymore.
"What?" I asked irritated. I really wasn't in the mood to listen to her bitching at the moment. I said she still talked to me not that I particularly enjoyed those conversations.
"I was told to give you this." She replied in a cool tone and held out a letter for me. Knowing Narcissa wasn't about ready to walk up the rest of the stairs I reluctantly went down and grabbed it from her giving her a curt nod. Her slim fingers enclosed around my wrist stopping me.
"Be careful over the holidays alright?" She said her icy eyes boring into mine. I gave her questioning look and she glanced down at the letter. Before I could even ask her she turned around and went to join her group down by the fireplace again. Holding the letter tightly in my hands I walked quickly into my dorm and was glad it was empty. Mulciber was going to be acting like a little bitch after earlier today; especially sense Katherine kicked his arse I thought to myself proudly. The letter had the family crest on it. Why my family or former family I suppose wasted so much damn money on all of this monogrammed shit I had still yet to figure out. Probably, because it was prestigious, and made the Blacks above everyone else in their eyes. My eyes scanned the letter intently recognizing my sweet old mum's handwriting. She hadn't even bothered addressing it.
I never thought the Black name would be disgraced again after your blood traitor brother left. You running around with some mudblood whore has brought more shame upon the family then he ever did. Bellatrix is disgusted by what you have done. After all of the time she spent training you to help bring a better world for the Purebloods and society you go and do this? I can only hope she will teach you and that disgusting trash of yours a lesson. I'm sure you have figured out that Orion and I want nothing to do with you. If I could keep you and your brother from having my brother's house let alone some of the Black fortune I would, but there is nothing I can do. When you come to your senses do not even bother darkening our doorstep. You will regret this that I am sure of.
Walburga Black
What an old crazy bitch. I would never want back into that family. A "better world for the purebloods" what the fuck was she on? The only thing that bothered me was what Narcissa had said about being careful, and what that insane old bat had said about Bellatrix. My cousin was insane and I knew that there was nothing she liked better then to hurt those who had wronged her. The fact that Katherine was involved in this was what frightened me. I had no idea how to tell Katherine about how much danger she was in, because of me. The danger her family was in. She was going to hate me, and that's something I could never live with.
"Dammit." I yelled punching the cold stone of the dorm. I knew what I needed to do and that was protect her.
