While they walked up the stairs they heard voices coming from the rooms where the children were staying. Sirius guessed that they were talking about the day's events, he knew that he and James would have done it if they were in that position. He shook his head, he was always really sad when he thought about James.

Eventually they got to Regulus's room, when they opened the door they saw Kreacher sitting in the chair next to his brother's bed. Sirius yelled at him to get out of here, and then Kreacher gave him the darkest glare he has ever given him but he did leave. Snape put the potions that he brought down on the table next to his younger brother's bed. There were three of them, the one on the right was a murky green color not unlike the one that lined the walls of Regulus's bedroom, the middle one was a light blue and the one on the left was a dark grey color. The light traveled through all them making them lighter then they normally would.

Regulus had not moved since Sirius had put him in his bed over thirty minutes ago. Although his bed was soaked with water and their mother would not have liked that. Snape and McGonagall looked at Regulus with a worried and shocked look on their faces. Snape then asked Dumbledore if they knew what had happened to him. "If we knew any information don't you think we would have told you." Sirius said pissed off at what he perceived as a stupid question. Snape then glared at him, this did not really bother him though because he had been at the receiving end of this glare many times. Dumbledore then gave both of them a look that seemed to ask them to stop bickering as there were more important things to figure out, he then replied to the question that had been directed towards him. "No, we have not gotten any more information Severus." Snape seemed to be satisfied with this information.

Then he opened the green potion and pulled a cloth out of pocket and poured the potion on the cloth. Then he put it on Regulus's wounds, this seemed to heal them as they closed up after he did that. He then picked up the other two bottles and said "I brought two potions that could possibly wake him up, I do not know which one will work. It would be easier if we knew what happened to him but that seems to be too hard to accomplish." in his usual condescending tone. Sirius rolled his eyes at this, even though he was not very close to his younger brother he still felt that Snape was not treating this situation with the urgency that it deserved.

Snape then poured the potion down Regulus's throat, then he explained that they would have to wait a few minutes to see if he would wake up. After this the order sat back awkwardly and waited to see if the potion would successfully wake Regulus up. At this point Sirius had time to really look at his younger brother. He looked almost exactly like he did the last time that he had seen his brother. He was wearing a dark green sweater and black pants, Sirius had seen his brother wear this outfit several times in the past. His hair was uncharacteristically messy and wet, Regulus had always spent a long time making sure hair was neat. He was also taller than Sirius remembered him to be, of course Sirius did not remember a lot of things about the physical features of his younger brother. Over ten years and Azkaban would do that to a person's memory.

His brother looked a lot paler then Sirius remembered him to be. Regulus had always been significantly more pale then Sirius but right now Regulus looked as pale as a sheet. There were some other key differences between the two brothers' looks, Sirius like the rest of their family had black hair while Regulus had dark brown hair. Another physical difference between his brother and their family was his eye color. Regulus had hazel eyes, the only other family member that had that eye color was their ant. Sirius had grey eyes, this was their family's signature eye color. Sirius had always been jealous of his brother's looks. Even though they used to look very similar to each other Regulus had always had a much softer look to him then the rest of their family and Sirius had always thought that he should have looked different then the rest of the Black family. He was the one that was different from their family, so why was Regulus who had always been the perfect son the sibling whose looks were fated to differ from looks of their families.

Sirius recalled that his father had been very close to Regulus, not that he preferred Sirius. he did not like any of his children. Sirius knew why their Dad did not like him, it was for the same reason that the rest of their family members did not like him. But he had never been very sure why he did not like Regulus, everyone else in their family did. There were two reasons that Sirius had thought off, one of them was that Regulus had always acted differently, not in a bad way or anything just different. This had never really bothered Sirius, but it had bothered their father because in the Black family nothing other then perfection was tolerated. The other reason that Sirius suspected was that their father may have suspected that Regulus was not his.

Sirius had heard the rumors before, they were whispered all the time at the parties that he had been forced to attend. A lot of people in the pureblood circles thought that Regulus was not their fathers child. There was some substance to these rumors, Regulus did look a lot like their mother but no at all like their father. Of course their parents were cousins so its not like there was a large difference in their looks. But it was very possible that Sirius's dad believed these rumors. He always had a very small ego and very little love for his wife and family.

While he was thinking about this, his brother started moving and slowly opened his eyes. Regulus looked at him and said "Sirius?"
