The next day after the accident, things began to change very quickly. Sirius would be moved into his own bedroom, and everything of his was moved into his new room that very day. When Lily woke up that morning, she had no memory of what happened the other night, so when she discovered that his things were gone, she put on her pink robe and rushed out of the room. She burst out of what was now her own room, and as she said "Siri?" she saw Sirius shut the door to a room across the hall. Her emerald eyes filled with tears as she ran to find her mother, desperately wondering why her brother didn't want to share a room with her anymore.
When she got to her Mother's room, she knocked softly and said "Momma?" and about a second after, her Mother said "Come in my little flower." Lily rushed into the room, and threw her arms around her Mother's legs and asked with tears in her eyes "Momma does Sirius hate me now?" As she sniffled, her Mother scooped her up into her arms and hugged her tightly as she said "Oh sweetheart, of course Sirius doesn't hate you, he loves you very much." Lily sniffled again as she said "But why did he take all his stuff out of our room? Doesn't he like being with me anymore?" The Queen wiped the tears from her daughter's face, and said "Well, we thought it was about time you both had your own rooms, you are growing up, and soon you'll both need your own space for studies and learning royal duties. As you know, Sirius is next in line for the throne and will be King one day, so it's very important for him. Okay? He has loved you since the very day that you were born, so never think that he doesn't love you." Lily smiled and hugged her Mother, who hugged her back and said "Your Father and I love you and Sirius very much, too." Lily said "I love you too Momma, and Father and Sirius." Lily jumped out of her Mother's arms, and with her red hair swishing behind her, ran back to her room to get dressed for the day. The Queen smiled at her adorable little girl, and hoped that her children would always be close, and that things would work out for the best.
While the Queen comforted Lily, the King and Sirius were having a talk of their own. He found something that might help Sirius: a pair of crimson gloves. As he came into the room, he found his son looking gloomily out the window. He sat down in the comfy chair across from Sirius, and said "I know this is going to be hard for you, son. Your Mother and I know how close you and your sister are, and how this is going to be quite a big change, but this is only temporary, until you can control your magic. Perhaps it's for the best-" The seven-year-old looked at his father with tears in his eyes, and nodded: He understood, but that didn't make it hurt any less. He almost killed his sister, the one person he loved the most, and he never wanted that to happen again. He wiped the tears from his eyes, and looked at his father with determination, and his father offered a small smile. The King gave his son the pair of crimson gloves, and said "Here, the gloves will help you keep the magic in control. Now repeat after me, 'conceal it, don't feel it, don't let it show'." Sirius repeated it, and felt a little hope; maybe this was the start of learning control over his powers.
From that day on, Lily was on a mission: She would not give up on trying to convince her brother to come out and play with her. She wondered why he never came out of his room, surely he had to have some time to play with her! Every day she would knock on his door, and would list all the things they could do around the castle, and beg for him to come out and play with her. He would hear every word, but he wouldn't come out, in fear that he would hurt her again, and it took all the strength he could muster to tell her coldly "Go away, Lily. I'm busy", and a dejected Lily would walk away sadly with the reply "Okay bye…". With every year, the children grew as did Sirius's powers, and one day when he was fourteen-years-old, he accidentally set the rug in his room on fire, and when he tried to put it out with his ice magic, it froze the entire floor. As his parents came in the room later that day, he said, panicking "I'm losing control, my powers are getting stronger!" His parents shared a concerned look, and the King stepped forward and said "Panicking only makes it worse, you have to calm-" as he tried to put his hand on Sirius's shoulder, Sirius backed away and said "NO! Don't touch me! Please, Father, I-I don't want to hurt you…either of you." The King and Queen looked hurt, but understood. As he struggled with control over his powers, Lily struggled with loneliness, and hurt that her brother never wanted to spend time with her, but thought maybe there was a reason. Surely he wanted to spend time with her, but maybe something was holding him back…
Four years later, the King and Queen had to leave for a trip overseas to the kingdom of Ravenclaw to discuss negotiations on trade. They were nervous to leave Sirius like this, but they knew they had no choice, this was part of their royal duties, and they didn't want to neglect something that the people of Gryffindor needed. As they packed their bags early one morning, Lily ran to their room, and hugged them both, saying "See you in two weeks! I will miss you so!" The King and Queen smiled, and the Queen said "We will miss you too, my little flower," and the King said "And we love you" Lily smiled and stepped back, and said "I love you both, too." As the King and Queen walked down the steps, they were greeted at the bottom of the stairs by Sirius, who looked nervous as he asked "Do you have to go?" The King offered a small smile as he said "You'll be fine, my son." The Queen smiled as she said "We love you, Sirius" As she held his gloved hand, and he smiled as he looked at his parents and said "I love you both, too." He gently removed his hand from his Mother's as he was still in fear he would hurt them. She smiled at him as she and the King walked out the front door to the palace to board the ship.
Two weeks later, the King and Queen were on their ship, heading back to their beloved kingdom, but they would never reach Gryffindor: They hit a terrible storm at sea, and soon the storm became too powerful. The King's, Queen's, as well as the crew's, lives were taken at sea with the ship. When the royal staff realized that the King and Queen still hadn't come back after three weeks, they sent an urgent message to the kingdom of Ravenclaw, who realized that there had been a terrible storm the very day they left, and that they must've been taken by it. The people of Gryffindor mourned the loss of such a wonderful King and Queen, and Lily and Sirius were heartbroken by the loss of such caring and loving parents. There was a black translucent curtain put above a portrait of the King and Queen in the Main Hall, which was hung by the staff, which were only four people since the gates were closed. (Albus Dumbledore was the royal advisor, Minerva McGonagall was the maid as well as the tutor for both children, Poppidora Pomfrey was the caretaker of the children, and Dobby the House Elf was the chef) Lily tried to reach out to her older brother for comfort, but Sirius still kept to himself in his room, wondering how he would be able to learn control of his powers now that his parents were gone. Things remained the same, and the gates were still closed, until Sirius became of age to be crowned king three years later, and little did they know just how much things would really change…
