Chapter 13
The Platform
Scar lay on the floor of his room in front of the fire. He slept there every night now. It had been two weeks since he started living in the Black house. They had officially changed his name to Peter Scar Black. Now he went by Peter to his guardians and Scar to his friends. He picked the name Peter from 'Peter Pan', his favorite book. He had found it in the library. Being unable to read, he only looked at the pictures, but Slick (Draco) had come one day and read it to him.
Regulus had taken Scar to a healer a week ago where they had started healing some of the scars, but some where too old to be healed. They all seemed to be settling into their family's nicely. They still had not seen Hood, but had heard from talk at the ministry that they where having a hard time with him. Uncle Lucius was trying to get him to be placed with someone else, but that didn't seem to be going anywhere.
There was a knock on the door and Sirius walked in. "Morning Peter. Come on, get up. We are meeting everyone in 30 minutes at the train."
Scar jumped up. "Do I have to go to school? Can't I just stay here? Can't you teach me?" Sirius, Regulus, and Scar had come to get along quite well. They never seemed to mind what he did and they were more like big brothers than guardians. They may have started off badly, but that had quickly changed.
Sirius smiled. "No, you have to go to school. But you will be back for Christmas and we will take you on the weekend sometime. It will be fun at school and you will be with your brothers." Scar smiled at that. He was looking forward to being with his brothers again. Sirius left the room calling over his shoulder, "Get ready and we'll go." Scar moved quickly to get ready.
Scar walked out of the floo and into a big area of a train station. He looked around to try and find his brothers. He spotted them standing over to the left.
Pulling on Reg and Siri, he walked over to his brothers. Aunt Narcissa was calm and composed, but if you knew her you could tell she was upset. Aunt Bella on the other had was openly holding onto her twins and crying about how she would miss them. "What will I do without my boys at home to set off their little explosions? It will be so quiet!" She then burst out crying. Uncle Rodolphus was holding onto her, trying to comfort her as best as possible.
The twin has changed their names as well to Jacob Nuts Lestrange, and Joshua Psycho Lestrange. The names had been picked by Bella herself and the twins seemed to be happy with it. They really had turned into a family, just with two dads and one mom.
Draco was holding Angel and promising to write to her every day and she was promising she would color them all a picture. It was quite the scene to see and many people stopped and looked at the odd dark family.
Scar hugged Slick from behind in order to reach Angel and give her a kiss on the cheek. They stood talking and saying their goodbyes and promising to write. Bella was telling the twins if anything of theirs was confiscated she would march wright over to the school and get it back for them. Scar couldn't be more happy to be with his family and today they would be seeing Hood once again.
A large group of loud red heads walked out from behind a wall. And Hood stood there with them. Scar pointed at him. "Look! Its Hood!" He then ran over to see his big brother and protector.
When Hood saw his brothers he quickly ditched the Red headed family and ran to his brothers. They hugged and talked of what had happened to him they introduced Hood to their family and all seemed well to Scar until Lucius saw a big bruise on Hood's neck. It almost looked as if he had been choked by someone.
Lucius grabbed onto Hoods arm. "Where did that bruise come from?"
Hood was shocked. Why did this man care? He seemed to like his siblings, but would the man take care of him? "I got it… um…" What was he to tell him? And the man was looking angry. Was he mad at him?
Arthur stepped up behind Hood. Now Hood really didn't know what to say. Lucky for him Lucius did. "Arthur, did you do that to this boy?"
Arthur chuckled. "No! He got it playing with the boys. A little rough housing never killed a child."
Lucius was not convinced. Narcissa stepped up and wedged her way between Arthur and Hood. "Come child, let me see." Narcissa moved his shirt out of the way. She could tell the child had been dragged by his shirt and she could guess it was up a flight of stairs. "The only boys in your house big enough or strong enough to pull this boy up a flight of stairs is Bill and Charlie, both of legal age. Legal action will need to be taken, even if it was a game. Tell me Hood, who did this to you?"
Hood was back to square one. What was he to say? But he was interrupted once again, this time by Molly. "Hood, darling." Darling? She never called him that. "Come along child. No need to be around such dark people." She began to pull him away, but caught site of the twins.
Nuts and Psycho watched as Arthur stepped forward. Yes they knew this man, they knew him well. This was their birth father. They had seen him in their dreams. The twins held onto their mother, Bella, tightly.
Rodolphus and Rabastan sensed their children's tenseness and stepped closer to them. Rabastan leaned over to one of the boys. "Do you know this man?" The teen nodded. Rabastan was now furious. This man had hurt Hood and was scaring the twins. He must have hurt them for them to have nightmars about him. He had woken the twins more then once after they had had a bad nightmare. When he would ask them about it they would always describe a man that looked a lot like Arthur. There had been no evidence that the twins had been kidnaped and now it was obvious that the children had run away. When Molly looked at the twins Rabastan knew she recognized them.
Molly stepped forward. "Fred… Gorge is that you?"
The twins held onto their mother even more. Molly took a step closer, but Rodolphus step up. "No, these are my sons Jacob and Joshua Lestrange."
Molly shock her head. "No, those are my sons. You took them from me didn't you!"
Many people stopped to look at the family now, but Bella didn't care. "These are my boys! You take one step closer and I will-"
"LEAVING IN 5 MINUTES!" A man shouted before she could finish.
Bella turned her back to the women, smiling. "Come boys. Lets get you on the train!"
Leaving the Weasley family, behind they guided their children onto the train. "Hood, we put clothes in the twins bags for you. If there is anything else you need, tell one of us and we will get it for you. We are sure the Weasley family didn't get you all you needed." Hood was amazed. They didn't even know him and they bought him new clothes.
"Thank you." And with that, the adults left and the teens settled in for their train ride to school.
