Chapter Seven: Is Blood Thicker than Water?

A true man hates no one

The second game of the season was between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin had played the first. This of course, caused some tension between Hestia and me for a few days prior. Hestia was a wonderful keeper, and unfortunately, I would be playing Chaser again this game. Emma decided to break her arm while practicing a jinx on Friday. Normally, this would have been fixed in a matter of moments, but because it was broken in twenty different places, she needed to regrow the bone.

I woke up at sunrise; I could never sleep when I was nervous, and decided to take a walk around the pitch. I pulled on some muggle sweatpants and an oversized sweatshirt and tiptoed out to our balcony. Slowly, I jumped over the side and conjured a mattress with my wand. Then I jumped.

My walk was a quiet one. The sun had yet to rise and there were no stars to be seen. Crickets didn't chirp in November and the birds were all in Wales awaiting warmer weather. I hummed a slow quiet tune as I walked around the outer limits of the pitch. My mind continued to wander toward the upcoming game.

At eight, I went inside and had breakfast. Not that I ate very much. I never ate very much before games in which I played. James scolded and begged me to eat, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. We left the room at eight thirty and went to get changed.

The game began at eleven. The Quaffle released and we began to play. Within an hour the score was seventy-ten Gryffindor. I was praying that Kirsti caught the snitch soon, the anticipation was killing me.

Suddenly, Sirius and Alice appeared next to me. There was a bludger aimed right at my face. I ducked as Sirius sent it toward the Hufflepuff seeker and Alice hit a second one towards their Keeper. I was thanking my lucky stars that I wasn't hit when someone screamed out.

Then I heard it. "And Davies catches the Snitch to end the game. Gryffindor wins 290-60!" I flew over to Kirsti and threw my arms around her. We did a few flips in the air before falling a good ten feet. Not that we broke anything. Just a few bruises, really.

The party began as soon as we got back. Everyone was there, even Hestia, but mainly because Alice dragged her. By nine, the party was in full swing, so I couldn't quite realize why Sirius left.

I ended the party as eleven. Curfew was at twelve and I wanted everyone upstairs by then. James helped me check beds. That's when we realized Sirius wasn't back yet. Fearing the worst, there was a war going on, and Sirius was a blood traitor. James and I took Remus and Ginger and began our search for Sirius. Ginger and I were nearing the Slytherin dungeons when I heard Sirius' voice humming.

"Stay here Gin," I whispered before turning the corner. Sirius was walking towards me, but he didn't realize I was there.

"Black," I whispered. He looked at me, startled.

"Look Evans…" he began, but I didn't want an explanation.

"You're out after hours. James and I were worried sick! Do you understand what this did to us?" I whisper-cried.

"I'm sorry," he said, but I knew he wasn't Sirius.

"No, you're not. I guess they were right. Once a Black always a Black," I said. He grimaced; it seemed I had struck a nerve.

"Look… It was Reggie. Poor kid's homesick. Usually Narcissa well sit with him, but she was out with Snape so..." he looked at me pleadingly.

"Reggie, as in Regulus… your brother?" I asked, dumbstruck. I thought Sirius hated his family.

"I guess you're right Evans," Sirius admitted. "Once a Black, always a Black." And with that said, he continued to walk. I went back to collect Ginger and then went in search of James and Remus.

That night, as I lay in bed, I wondered if blood really was thicker than water. And if Petunia would ever have done the same for me.

Crystal Tears: Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much for beta-ing. I'll be happy to return the service whenever you need help. I fixed the arm thing, you're right, 60 is a bit extreme. You'll be getting chapter nine a bit later today.

Zippy fox: Don't worry, as big of a Bella-Siri fan I am, I want this to be purely cannon.

WhiteCamellia: It means they're super smart. :)

A/N: Big shout out to Crystal Tears for beta-ing, she deserves a prize. I know this is a short chapter, but if I put the twochapters together it would have sounded forced. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and everyone who's still reading. Please review!
