And the Plot Thickens.
Winter passed quickly, and Spring soon arrived in full bloom (no pun intended of course). The castle seemed much at peace, and with the exception of haggard students trying to study last moment for O.W.L. and N.E.W.T.S., things were calm. Sophia and Remus continued to grow in a relationship, and James and Lily acted as if they had dated for years instead of only five months. Five blissful months. Things were also well for the seventh years as graduation was just around the bend.
Sirius was walking down the corridor from the library when he slammed into a younger figure. Sirius turned to apologize but replaced that idea with a glare once he saw who it was. "Regulus." Sirius stated stiffly.
"Dear brother, is that any tone to take with your only brother?"
Sirius coughed, "Brother? I think not. More like vile, worthless, ignorant piece of sh-"
"I would not speak so harshly to me." Regulus interrupted, "You never know what may happen."
Sirius narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?" Regulus only shrugged, "What are you talking about?" Regulus grinned and Sirius grabbed him by the shoulders, "Tell me now or I swear on all that is good I will kill you here and now."
"Kill me? No, your facts or distorted, it is I who shall kill you. Do you know what it's like to be related to you..." Regulus shook as if the idea repulsed him, and it did. Sirius let him go and stepped back.
"You disgust me." Sirius spat.
Regulus cocked his head to the side, "Likewise." He turned to go, "Oh, and if you have any sense in your head, I'd watch out for that little redhead of yours."
"Sophia?" Regulus grinned.
"Good bye Sirius." Sirius glared at the man before him and then did the first thing that came to his head, he punched him, hard. Not once, but continuously, it was only until James pulled him off Regulus that Sirius stopped.
"Let me go James." Sirius hissed through clenched teeth.
"Yeah...can't do that mate."
"He just threatened Sophia!"
James glared at Regulus, "He does that often."
Regulus then spoke up, "I would also watch out for Lily, my master would love to break her neck." James ears turned bright red as his eyes narrowed.
"You know, it really would not be that hard to let him go, and if I did, I would be right there along with him beating the shit out of you." James stated.
"Then why don't you." Regulus mocked.
"Because Azkaban was made for you, not me. Leave." James stated, shaking his head to the side. Regulus stood up and wiped the blood from his lip.
"This isn't over." Regulus said, staring at Sirius.
"You can count on it." Sirius growled. It was not until he was out of site that Sirius turned to James. "He was serious." Sirius whispered. James nodded.
"We have to warn them."
"Sophia needs to leave."
"So does Lily."
"This sucks."
"Incredibly." James ended. The two handsome young men hurried up to the common room. They had to get Lily and Sophia out, and soon."
A/N: The shortest chapter I have ever written, and it is the shortest chapter I will ever write, however, I don't have time to update a long chapter until Sunday and even then I am not quite sure I can. Review please.
Analia's Broom: I'm glad you like my take on Remus, and frankly I agree. I wanted to portray him as I saw him, plus he is my favorite adult of the Harry Potter series...besides Severus of course. I swore to myself that if J.K. Rowling kills him off, I will refuse to finish the series...luckily she hasn't and maybe she won't, who knows. Thank you for reading my story, and thank you for your review...it's awesome to find new readers! I hope this chapter did not disappoint you, I know its short, but its opening up some new conflicts that will end this part of the story...I do plan to write a sequel to this...when Harry is at Hogwarts.
Lossenrhos: You always review, so I thought it would be nice to give you a little gift in return. Your reviews are appreciated greatly so. No I did not write that song nor do I know who wrote it. But its my favorite carol. Please continue to read.
Thank you to all my silent readers.
Will write for reviews!
