Chapter Text

Klaus picked at the loose threads of his uniform as he and the rest of his siblings sat at the dinner table. They had just gotten home from their latest mission, this time it was at the Eiffel Tower. He looked around the large table and watched his siblings as they ate. Or at the very least they were supposed to be eating, most of them were not.

Allison and Luther were staring at each other, Klaus internally gaged at the faces they were making at each other.

Five was scribbling something on a napkin, Klaus thought that it was most likely a math equation or part of a science experiment but he could not be sure.

Ben was picking at his food but not eating it. Klaus knew that this was most likely because he was forced to unleash "The horror" at their mission today, whenever Ben had to do this he was always depressed for a few days after. Klaus knew that he and the rest of his siblings were worried about Ben when he got like this, sometimes he felt Ben was the only thing keeping his family together.

Vanya, like Ben, was picking at her food although this was due to a completely different reason. Vanya did this a lot, he did not really know why she did this. He considers that it was because she was bored but this was just a wild guest on his part.

Diego had his knife in his hand and he was carving a hole into the table, he did this at nearly every meal. Klaus was pretty sure that if you looked underneath the table you would see a deep hole.

Klaus did not necessarily like watching his siblings, it was one of the only things he could do besides eat at meal times because they were not allowed to talk, but he also kinda disliked it because he hated seeing the ghost that surrendered them.

He hated this for so many reasons, for one thing they were so much more angry then a lot of other ghosts that he saw. That was because he and his siblings had actively killed these people or at the very least they had a hand in their demise.

And there were so many of them, they surrounded every one of his siblings. Even Vanya, he felt this was odd, since she did not have powers and she was not allowed to go on missions with them.

Klaus had only ever met one ghost that was nice to him and that was his mother Regulus. No one in his family knew that he saw his mother besides Ben, and he only recently told him. His mother had black curly hair and hazel eyes, she basically looked like a female version of Klaus. She was also eighteen or at least that's what she told Klaus and she did not really have a reason to lie about that. She was also soaking wet, normally this would make Klaus think that she had drowned but she also had blood on her and deep cuts which confused him about how she died. He would not ask her of course, it was kind of rude and he did not want to upset her. The last thing he needed to see was another angry ghost.

She had appeared to Klaus a few months back, Klaus had asked her why she had only appeared recently because usually ghost unfinished business did not just come u[ suddenly sixteen years after their death. Regulus told him that she did not know why she was suddenly a ghost but she was glad that she found him.

It was a bit awkward at first, for both of them.

It was awkward for Regulus because she hated the way that Klaus was being raised, it was very similar to the way that she and Sirius were raised with the emotional manipulation, pitting them against their siblings, and so much more. The reason she had given her child away was to spare him from the childhood that she had and it pained her to see him going through the very thing that she had tried to protect him from.

It was awkward for Klaus because he had dreamed about meeting his mother for years, of course he is pretty sure that every one of siblings thought about that. But it made him sad to find out that the person that he had dreamed about coming to rescue him from this hell that was called an academy was dead and had been dead ever since he was two months old. She had been dead for nearly his entire life and he did not know. There was also the elephant in the room, and that was that fact that she had given him to Dad. That was something they had yet to talk about.

Even though they had not talked about that yet, they had talked about a lot of other stuff.

Klaus had told her about his childhood and about his siblings. Regulus had told him about her childhood as well and stories about hogwarts. Klaus was a little surprised about how similar their lives were.

They also talked about how they got their names, as it turns out they both had fairly interesting stories in this regard. Regulus got her name because her parents thought that they were going to have another boy and that by the time she was born they were already attached to the name and they could not change it. Klaus explained that for half of his childhood he and his siblings went by numbers and that he only got his actual name six years ago when he was ten, and he was given it by his robot nanny/mom Grace. It made Regulus pretty mad to hear that for the first ten years of his life he was only called number four, but she was grateful that he eventually got one. Although she recognized that this was not something that you should be glad about.

Klaus also explained what their powers were to Regulus. This fascinated her. Apparently in the last couple months of her life she was researching two things one of them she would not tell Klaus about because she told him that it was "something that he should not get into" but the other was what had happened to her and how she had given birth with out being pregnat before or even having had sex. So she was very happy to learn more about what had happened and what her child was like.

But despite all of the bad they had both been extremely happy to get to know each other, and it had been some of the best couple months of Klaus's life and it was also the best couple of months that Regulus had experienced since before she went to Hogwarts.

Regulus also had a slightly strange affect on the ghost that he saw. He would still see them and they still glared at him or looked at him with a sorrowful longing begging him to help him move on without even uttering a single word. But they did not talk or scream at him anymore they just stared, and this had only started when his mother had shown up.

Klaus looked up at the sound of his fathers voice telling them that dinner was over and that they should all go to bed. He realized that he had been staring at his plate for almost all of dinner. He got up and went to his bedroom excited to talk to his mother about the day's events.

Sirius still stood staring at his sister's branch of his family tree thinking about his Regulus. He had not thought about his sister in a while, he had been thinking about a lot of people that were more important to him like Harry, James, Lily, and Remus. He also thought about revenge against Peter for betraying the Potter family. But that was not the point, the point was that this was the first time that he had seriously thought about his sister in years, they had probably only talked about five times total after he ran away when he was sixteen and Regulus was fourteen. It's not like he really enjoyed thinking about Regulus, he loved her when they were younger and both of them were much more innocent. But as time went on they grew apart and Regulus became more and more like their parents or at least that's what Sirius thought. He barely saw his sister as she was always held up in her bedroom.

Sirius heard Molly call them down for dinner so he walked slowly to the dining room almost as if sleepwalking. When he finally got there he was the last one to sit down.

When Harry saw Sirius sit down he remembered that he said that he would ask Hermione about Sirius's nephew. He turned to her and asked to speak with her in private. She said yes, so they got up and walked into what appeared to be a library.

"Yeah, Harry what do you want to ask me about?" She asked him.

"I was wondering if you recognize the name Klaus Hargreeves, me and Sirius found out that his younger sister had a child and that's his name. I thought I recognized it but I do not know where I know it from." Harry explained.

Hermione stared at him and said "Yes I recognize that name, he is a member of The Umbrella Academy, I'm pretty sure he is the one that can see the dead although I could be wrong about that last fact I was never very interested in them."

Harry knew that she was right and that's where he had heard the name as well. Although it made sense that he forgot in what context he had heard the name. The Dursleys had forbidden any mention of The Umbrella Academy in their household; they called them "freaks" and "that they were worse than that freak of a sister." This had been one of the rair rules that both he and Dudley had to follow. But of course they both still heard about them in school.

Harry thought about this new information and asked Hermione "How are we going to explain this to Sirius?"
