My Brother's Star
Regulus Black sat at the window seat looking up at the night sky, and the stars that seemed to be winking at him.
Regulus was very bright for a three year old and had the most gorgeous black hair, the trademark of his family. Another was the pale complexion.
Every night about the same time he would sit in the same spot to watch the stars,the one thing that never really changed.
Every night as he looked at the stars, one thing came to mind, Sirius, his big brother.
Regulus and Sirius adored each other, their bond was strong, stronger in fact then that of the rest of the family.
Regulus and Sirius sometimes did this together as their time together before turning in for the night.
Sirius however, could not be with him tonight and little Regulus missed him terribly.
Sirius was five and their mother had suggested that they send him to visit his uncle who happened to be very rich and looking for an heir having never had children of his own.
He was quite fond of Sirius and always had been from the boy's first visit.
So little Regulus sat quietly, thinking about his brother and the story their father had once told them about his brother's name .
In this story, Sirius, the brightest star in the sky had been watching the different planets go by, such was his job being the most important and the one all the beings on earth looked to for guidance or sometimes even to wish upon.
Sirius loved to fulfill as many wishes as he possibly could to keep the connection alive, being a star after all was lonely work.
One particular evening a very special wish reached Sirius, a wish that spoke to him more than any other he had ever heard before.
A young woman with long sleek black hair with a young man standing next to her.
"please Great Star please hear us and grant our wish, we have heard such wonders happen when you are near please" the woman bowed her head as the man stepped up looking up at the night sky.
"We searched long and hard for you Great Sirius, brightest star in the sky to ask of you this one thing," he paused a moment looking into his new wife's eyes, then again at Sirius.
Sirius paid close attention to the couple standing before him.
"Grant us this wish if your heart so desires Great Sirius, we wish to have a son, a child to call our own please a bright and beautiful boy we shall give him your wonderful name so that the whole world will see what you've done
So as the couple slept The great Star gave it some thought and decided to grant this wish. The great Sirius took from the Great beyond a small being of light which he carefully placed in the crib set up not an hour before by the husband and left. The next morning the couple awoke to a small cry from the room and upon investigating the crib they smiled at their new son.
Thus, Sirius Tristan Black came to be.
Both Sirius and Regulus loved that story, this is why three year old Regulus looks for the Star that brought his much loved big brother to him.
Regulus was still watching when he felt as though some one had been watching him as his curiosity got the better of him he turned to see his father, carrying a sleeping Sirius into the room his eyes lit up but he felt he must look back to the window and as he did he saw a most welcome sight "daddy!" Regulus cried pointing to the bright light that now shown through the window Mr. Black looked as his son shouted excitedly "found brother's star" the smile widened on his face.
