Ch.11

Sirius's mind was racing as he tried to figure out how to keep his little brother away from their parent's influence. His eyes brightened as he figured exactly what he could do.

"Hey James, do you think your parents would mind housing me and Reggie for a little bit this summer?" Sirius turned towards his best friend with perfect puppy dog eyes.

"Umm of course, you know they love you Sirius, but where will you go the rest of the summer?" James asked confused.

"The muggle world of course," Sirius answered like it was obvious, "It is one of the only places my parents won't look for us. They believe I will never be able to survive in the muggle world, but I will prove them wrong. I'll get Reggie and me a house and then I will get a job to help pay for it since my parents will probably cut off my vault as soon as they realize I left and took Reg with me."

Everyone stared in shock. Sirius Black in the muggle world! And getting a job! What was going on in his mind? Surprisingly the only one nodding understanding him was Bellatrix.

"Good idea, Aunt Walburga and Uncle Orion would never search the muggle world for their heir and youngest son," Bellatrix said smiling at Sirius's shock at her agreement.

"Well then it is settled. If Sirius and Bellatrix are agreeing it must be the best solution," Narcissa joked causing the light tension to leave the room and causing most of the people there to laugh.

Regulus still was staring at his brother in shock. His brother was prepared to do anything to keep him safe, he realized. Sirius hadn't allowed Regulus o leave his lap and Remus hadn't let go of either of them. Regulus realizing this, squirmed to get out of their hold but once again Sirius just tightened his grip.

"Sirius!" Regulus whined, "Let me go!"

"No, not until I get over the fact that you join Lord Voldy and try to take out his horcrux," Sirius snapped before adjusting Regulus comfortably on his lap. Regulus grumbled and pouted a little, but he stopped trying to get away. Remus laughed at Regulus's expression.

"So what are everyone's plans for the summer as you all no mine?" Sirius asked the room in general.

"Most likely being forced to meet with Rodulphous Lestrange and then being forced to be courted by him before my forced marriage next year, how about the rest of you?" Bellatrix said with a slight smile.

"Come on Bella surely you can con yourself out of that situation," Sirius taunted, "I thought you were smart."

"Oh believe me I have plan, Sev would you mind pretending to court me so I don't end up paired with tweedledee and sister-in-law to tweedledum?" Bella pleaded bringing out her best smile and puppy dog eyes.

"Oh alright," Severus gave in with a sigh, "But you owe me and I'm a Slytherin so I won't forget or let you get away with it."

"So Lucy, what are you doing this summer…
