Year Two: Chapter Twenty-Eight
A Grim Old Christmas
This is a completely new chapter which has not been written yet. I have provided my notes for it below for anyone who wants to understand what will happen in it. Please wait patiently. Thank you!
Outline: Sirius must return to Grimmauld Place for Christmas. He and James formulate a plan with the magial parchment, however, for Sirius to sneak to James's house for a few short hours while his parents are away at a party together. Regulus learns this and tells on Sirius, though, and Mrs. Black hits Sirius in the back with her cane and sends him back up to his room. He is not allowed to leave the house for the rest of the holiday. She thanks Regulus for alerting her to the problem, which disgusts Sirius. When they're both gone, Regulus reflects on how Sirius's punishment would have been far worse if her hadn't told. Regulus won't talk to Sirius at all for the rest of the holidays. Andromenda and Sirius play chess together and discuss a meeting for Dark wizards. Orion Black pulls Sirius aside and tells him that the Black family is supposting the ause and that by him brefriending halfbloods, mudbloods, and blood traitors, he is endangering their family and tarnishing their reputation. Sirius deends the muggleborns in his class and Orion tuts him for not calling them mudbloods instead. Sirius leaves after a "Yes, sir," and runs up to his room to write to James. "My parents have forbidden me to see you again. So natually we need to talk." He writes to tell him about the organization, but James doesn't respond. They learn that Andromeda is pregnant at the dinner table and is ngaged to Ted. We learn that she had an arranged marriage with Lucius Malfoy. Elladora and Cygnus Black are furious with her and the family leaves. Sirius runs back to his room and gets a note back from James. James said he heard about the meeting over the break as well and that he didn't care what Sirius's parents think. James's parents want to take Sirius away then and there, but know and understand that it is the wrong thing to do.
