Authors notes: This story is going to be alternating between the two black brothers, Regulus and Sirius. This chapter is about Sirius.
Oh, and this is my first fic, so, review me, please and tell me how I can improve! On to the story. *Trumpets ring*
Sirius walked away from his brother, trying to put on a brave face for his friends and his many admirers, but failing abysmally. He couldn't believe that Regulus had done that to him. He loved his brother, and until a few minutes ago, he thought Reg had loved him too. He thought that Reg, for all that he was a Slytherin, loved him enough not to insult him in front of his friends. He apparently, thought wrong. He could feel a tears rushing up to the surface and brushed them angrily away before anybody could see his weakness.
Besides him, his best friends were muttering bloody murder under there breaths. Sirius pushed the hurt from his eyes and pasted a smile on his face. He didn't want his friends to know how much it upset him. Especially not James. If James knew, then Regulus would be as good as dead and he would lose a brother.
"I say we tie him up and hang him from a tree all night and leave him hanging when we get to Hogwarts." Peter said, his tiny, timid voice squeaking as he tried to project it. James and Remus shook their heads. Both of them were as mad as they could get. Their eyes were flashing and their mouths were in a tight line. They didn't even look at the fan club that surrounded them on either side.
"He deserves far worse then that." Remus stated furiously brushing his long black hair out of his eyes irritably. "He upset you back there, we all know it. Don't try to hide it Si. If we don't do something to him then it would ruin our reputation an-" Sirius cut him off with an livid movement of his arm.
"Do you remember he's my brother Remus?" Sirius yelled loudly, causing people to look at them oddly and then relax when they saw who was fighting. "I'm not going to punish or hurt my own brother." He stared at them all angrily. Turning to glare at each one in turn. Finally James spoke, quietly this time, and not with anger.
"He may be your brother Si, but he sure didn't act like it." Sirius didn't say anything, he just walked off, slowly, with pride surrounding his stature. The three boys looked at each other helplessly.
"I'd say that Padfoot isn't going to come back for a while guys." Remus said following the tall boys flight down the train. The others nodded but James held back.
"It's my fault he left, I'm going to go see what's happening." The other two nodded and as James ambled off he heard Remus say,
"Well, I guess it's just you and me buddy. I suppose we'll just have to get along." James grinned; it was a known fact that Remus and Peter were the people who got along the least in the whole group. Now was their chance to actually blow up at each other without either of the ringleaders interrupting. He sighed and walked faster, looking for his friend.
Sirius didn't know exactly where he was going. He just wanted to get away from them. Reg had his own choice to make. If he allowed his father to boss him around it was his own fault. Sirius could see what the letters from their father did to his little brother. Each time one came, Reg would distance himself more.
His stupid little brother, for all of his brilliance, was incredibly dull-witted when it came to his father. He doesn't want to admit that his father is throwing him a letter of lies. Sirius told himself, I used to be like that, when they talked to me about Andromeda, how she was not following the noble ways of the Blacks when she hung out with half-bloods and muggle-borns all the time. Curiously enough, he stopped writing me letters when I became a Gryffindor and friends with two muggle-borns. I wonder why.
Sirius grinned and walked into a compartment, that, at first glance, seemed to be empty, but then stopped suddenly. Snivellus was sitting in the corner, reading what appeared to be a highly complicated book about potions. Sirius smirked slightly.
"Fancy seeing you here Snivellus," Sirius said genially, leaning in a confident manner at the doorway. Snape looked up quickly and moved slightly.
"Fancy, has absolutely nothing to do with it Black, for if your looking at it the technical way it means-"
"I don't care what it freakin' means." Sirius yelled much to Snapes amusement. Snape grinned slightly, and that was it. Sirius pulled out his wand with a yell and had it pointed at Snape in a millisecond.
He heard a sneeze at the door and he looked up sharply. It was James. Instead of the delight that you might expect to find on his face he looked dangerous and angry.
"What are you doing here James?" Sirius asked, his words dangerously calm. He eyed his friend warily as if trying to see if anybody was behind him. The boy gazed at Sirius quizzically.
"I could ask the same of you, you know." James said frankly brushing his unruly black hair out of his eyes. "But I already know the answer and so do you." He raised an eyebrow comically at Sirius and cracked a grin then he turned to gaze at Snape.
"Where's Remus and Peter?" Sirius asked suspiciously looking over his best friends shoulder again. "You didn't leave them together did you? You idiot! They're going to wreck havoc with out us." Sirius started to run back but James stopped him. Sirius looked at him, puzzled.
'Duck' James mouthed. Instinctively Sirius ducked and a red flash hit the glass behind him.
"You need to improve you aim dear Snivellus, or else try to hit me from behind when my best friend is not watching." He didn't bother looking at the furious boy standing behind them.
"Let's go James, before his unpopular status rubs off on us, and before our two friends end up killing themselves. You promised last year, you'd never leave them alone together you idiot."
"The promise of a marauder means nothing." James said smiling cockily. Sirius shook his head, and started walking towards his own compartment, but before he could move he heard James growl angrily.
It was Regulus, walking towards them with his wand pointing out towards a fellow 3rd year, Evan Weasley. His twin sister Rebecca was standing behind him in the same stance as Lucius, hovering behind themfor backup. James snarled and stepped forward dogging Sirius' hand that reached out to grab him.
"Leave him alone Slytherin." James growled, glaring at the 3rd years. He could have sworn that he saw fear in Regulus' eyes before it quickly glazed over into a cold smirk.
"Oh," The Slytherin said coldly, looking up with a detached gaze "It's you."
