A/N: Okay, this is a really really really short chapter, but it is only short because I have to put an end to this chapter at a certain place, so I am putting up Chapter 7 right after this one. I was hoping not to make this fiction too long, I'm thinking about making it around 10 chapters because I don't like those fictions that drag on forever with out no real ending and nothing new happens after a while.
Chapter 6
The rest of the train ride went by well. Regulus didn't talk much, but he normally never talked to Gryffindors. Remus had some how managed to eat all the Honeydukes chocolate within an hour and did end up feeling sick. He stretched himself out with his head on Regulus's lap and his feet on Sirius's, who kept pushing them off, but they always found their way back on to his lap eventually. When the train pulled to the stop, James, Peter and Sirius left while Regulus and Remus waited around behind. When they had all gone Remus sat up and looked at Regulus.
'I guess I will be seeing you tomorrow then.' Remus said. 'How will you let me know when to come to piano lessons?'
Regulus shrugged, he hadn't thought about that yet. 'I'll figure it out later.'
Remus kissed Regulus on the cheek then stood up and left leaving Regulus alone in the compartment.
Regulus put his head in his hands, wishing that the summer would never end. Finally he sighed, stood up and went to the carriages. When he walked onto the Hogsmeade platform he saw his friends from Slytherin and went over to them.
'Black, where have you been?' A tall girl with brown hair asked.
'Nowhere, Mary, are we going to get a carriage or what?' Regulus asked sticking his hands in his pocket looking around at his friends.
He really didn't want to be standing there, he would rather be in a carriage with Remus, but he knew that a Slytherin isn't allowed to be seen talking to a Gryffindor without a smirk on their faces, it was one of the unspoken rules. His friends didn't seem very important any more, they looked like…well Slytherins, proud, snobby and stuck up, Regulus realized that he would rather be with his brother (who he still disliked and Sirius disliked him back), then with them. He wasn't even friends with any of them, they only talked to him because he was a Black and most of them where related to him some how. Suddenly Regulus realized that everyone was staring at him.
'What?' He asked looking up at them.
'What is wrong with you? We asked if you got yours yet.' A tall blonde head, named Lucius asked.
'Sorry, just freezing my ass off.' Regulus said wrapping his arms around himself.
'Fine, let's go get a carriage before Black does anymore bitching.' Mary said, making the others laugh.
Regulus grumbled behind their backs and climbed into the carriage after them.
'So, you didn't answer Malfoy.' Mary said when Regulus sat down.
'Because I didn't know what the hell he was talking about.' Regulus snapped at her, he really didn't like Mary, not after she put truth serum in his pumpkin juice and had him confess to the whole common room that he was gay, luckily everyone thought he was only joking so his parents never heard about it.
'You are stupid aren't you?' A short, plump red head said.
'I was talking about the Dark Mark, see we all got one.' Lucius said rolling up his sleeve showing Regulus a tattoo of a snake going through a skull on his forearm. 'We are Death Eaters now.'
Regulus was stunned, the Death Eater groups had always creeped him out, now it seemed like the whole Slytherin house was one. 'Why would I want one of those?' He said keeping his face blank and voice under control.
'You're a Black; if you don't get one then the Dark Lord will most likely just kill your family.' Bellatrix, his cousin, said with a shrug.
'You're a Black too.' Regulus said back, now starting to worry that this wasn't just some fad.
'But I'm not your close family; he says that he will kill all the wizarding families that don't follow him, also all the mud-bloods.' Bellatrix said looking at Regulus like he was pathetic, which she thought he was.
Regulus just shrugged his shoulder and looked out the window and let the others talk about how cool it would be once the world would be free of muggleborns. Once the carriage stopped Regulus looked around for Remus, but didn't see him anywhere, so he just went to the feast with the other Slytherins. Regulus never saw Remus for the rest of the night, not even at the feast.
