Sirius stared shocked at his brothers shaking, dripping wet, and bleeding body. He didn't know what to think Regulus had died nearly fifteen years ago, and if he had somehow faked his death he would have aged and be in his thirties by now. But the body in front looked the sameness he did when Sirius had last seen his younger brother.

Kreacher and the rest of the order stood dumbfounded, no one moving a single inch.

Eventually after several moments of defining silence Kreacher said, "Master Regulus?" And Molly asked, "Hasn't your brother been dead for years?"

"Yes." Sirius replied stunned, still staring at his brothers breathing body, his supposedly dead brothers breathing body. He thought back to the last time he had seen his little brother.

It had been a cold and bleak day, at the time Sirius had thought that it was fitting. He had gotten a letter from Regulus the day befbefore asking to meet with him here, Sirius had felt that this was odd and suspicious for several reasons.

The least (but still big) of the two being the fact that the place that Regulus had asked to meet at a bench in a muggle shopping center. Sirius had been shocked when he'd first read the address and then he had done a double take. It was very suspicious that Regulus his brother a hardcore believer in blood purity and who was "allegedly" a death eater would ask to meet in muggle Londen or hell in any muggle place. The most suspicious of the request being the fact his most likely a death eater brother requesting to meet with him in the first place.

Obviously he had been completely appalled. It was obviously a trap he had thought. The letter that Regulus had sent was extremely vague about what he wanted to meet up about. He had thought of two things too do. The first plan he had was being very simple, to not go to meet up with his brother.

Then he would not be walking into a trap.

The other solution to his predicament he had was walking in to the trap but setting another one for Regulus, he'd tell the ministry and order about the meeting(obvious trap) and then they will be able to arrest his brother.

He was conflicted on this particular plan, he may be an "alleged" death eater and most likely a murder by now. But Sirius has had a hard time separating current Regulus and the Regulus from his past in the days before they had gone to Hogwarts. The one that had come to hide in his bedrooms during thunderstorms or when he had nightmares about drowning. The one who'd cover for him when he had snuck out to play with muggle on a playground. With the one who had barely left his room for multiple summers, hadn't spoken unless spoken too. The one who only seemed to confined in Kreacher. The brother who never stood up for him. Because of this iner conflict Sirius had gone to the only on of his close friends who would understand having sibling drama, Lily.

He'd sent a letter to Lily asking her what she would do in his situation.

Lily had replied with some very insightful comments. She said that their situations were not a one to one comparisons, but if Petunia had wanted to meet up again she would do it, as their was a war going on and she did not want to die with that bridge burned. But Lily pointed out that Petunia was not a death eater and they were not actively fighting on different sides of a war. Eventually Sirius decided to go meet Regulus, but he would be under as Moody would put it , constant vigilance.

So that was why Sirius found himself in this situation, waiting on his death eater baby brother to meey up with him, on a bench, in the middle of muggle London. He heard footsteps and then someone sit down on the bench beside of him. Sirius turned his head a looked at his younger brother. He had barely aged since the last time that Sirius had last seen him, but he also looked extremely stressed and steeped deprived.

The two brothers starred at each for what felt like eternity but in reality was just a less than a minute. Eventually Regulus said "Hello, Sirius." and Sirius replied with "Hello Regulus."

This was followed by another awkward silence. This silence was broken again by Regulus who quietly said "Siri, I need your help with something."

Sirius felt fury growing in the pit of his stomach, how dare Regulus not talk to him for years and not defend him against their parents, and then have the nerve to ask him for help. And that was with out considering the fact that this was most likely going to be a trap.

And that was with out considering the fact that this was most likely going to be a trap.

After that Sirius said something that would do the opposite of what he had intended to do by accepting the fact the invitation to the meeting. Sirius said angrily "I'm not helping you and your death eater ass doing anything, you've made your choice and chosen your side, and I've chosen mine."

Regulus stared out at him and has a look on his face that at the time Sirius could not identify( but later on would realize that the look was hurt and betrayel), after a brief instant the look on Regulus's face disappeared. And the mask that he were so often and so well appears back onto his face.

After this Regulus's stood up and stormed away, he did briefly turn around, but then quickly moved his head back. And he continued storming off.

Sirius would often think back to this brief meeting in the mounths after Regulus's had disappeared, and Regulus would join the many spectators that haunted him during his twelve years in Azkaban.

Of course he had a lot on his mind after he had escaped, and he had barely thought about his younger brother, that was of course until Harry had asked about him, that had brought all of these memories and feelings back to the surface. And then Regulus apearing out if thin air was just the icing on the cake.

He was shaken out of his thoughts when Dumbledore spoke saying, "We can notify Severus and Mirinva about the current situation, I am sure that Severus can make a potion that will be able to heal, Mr. Blacks injures. Sirius can you please take your brother to his room. When he wakes up we will figure out how to proceed." Sirius numbly said yes. He started taking his brother up the stairs to his bedroom and he saw his godson and his friends staring at the commotion.
