A/N: Another one…you need more insight into these people's lives, you know…Plus I have a 30-minute limit on weekdays, and I have pages of AP Biology homework tonight… Don't worry, there'll only be…one, two, maybe three more.

Meant To Be: Blood Traitor

Sirius

It was on an uncomfortably hot Sunday afternoon in mid-June that Sirius decided he loathed his family. As a young child growing up in the Black household, he always knew he was different. He just didn't understand why he should hate somebody for not being able to do magic, not like the rest of his family obviously did. All his life, Sirius had been exposed to the life of rich purebloods. That's the only reason why he was allowed to be friends with James and Jessi: they were from an old, rich family of all purebloods. Sirius hadn't yet told his parents about Remus and Peter. They would have told him he couldn't so much as look at them anymore; they simply weren't good enough. Nobody in his family was like him.

Except for Andromeda. Andy, he called her. Andromeda was four years older than him, a fifth-year Ravenclaw. She was like him. She was a rebel. Andy never got mad at him for asking why the should hate muggles and muggle-borns. Andy was normal.

Right as Sirius was wishing everybody in his family was more like Andromeda, she walked in.

"How's your summer so far, cousin?"

Sirius shrugged. "You know, I came home, Mum yelled at me for being sorted into Gryffindor, Dad yelled at me for being sorted into Gryffindor, they both yelled at me for getting twelve detentions in a month, Regulus walked in, Mum and Dad yelled at me for not being like him, and I was exiled to my bedroom for the rest of the summer. Y'know. The usual."

Andromeda laughed hoarsely. "Better than mine. You have Reg. I'm stuck with Bellatrix and Narcissa."

"Good point."

"Andromeda! Sirius! Get down here now!"

Andromeda sighed and stood up, motioning for her cousin to follow.

"What do they want now?" Sirius hissed. Andy shrugged.

"Beats me."

The two made their way down the stairs reluctantly, only to be met with the sight of both sets of parents, Bellatrix, Narcissa, and Regulus. The four parents looked furious, and the siblings looked malicious.

"You two are the brattiest children I have ever met." Cygnus, Andromeda's father glared at the pair. Orion, Sirius's dad, nodded violently. The mothers, Walburga and Druella stood immobile next to their husbands, a blank expression on both faces.

"Blood traitors, the both of you!" Orion hissed.

"What'd we do?!" Andromeda exclaimed.

"You, Andromeda Violetta Black, were sorted into Ravenclaw! Not ONE of your friends is pureblood, and that Ted boy you're 'seeing' is a mudblood!" Cygnus yelled.

"And you, Sirius Orion Black, you've been hanging around with that Pettigrew boy. Are you aware he is a half-blood? And Gryffindor, of all things! You know very well Slytherins and Gryffindors have always been enemy houses. Bellatrix even told me that you and Potter have pulled pranks on the Slytherins! How could you betray your family, Sirius?" Orion roared.

Sirius and Andromeda exchanged a look. What were they supposed to say? It was all true, after all. They turned to look at their parents and shrugged.

Cygnus threw up his hands and bellowed, "Just go away! Get away from us!"

Andromeda and Sirius ran back upstairs, finally collapsing onto the floor of Sirius's room.

"What exactly was the point of that?" Andromeda asked.

Sirius shrugged. "They need somebody to let their anger out on, right?"

Andromeda chuckled softly. "They'll probably disown us someday."

"The sooner the better!" Sirius said happily.

And so the two hid in Sirius room for the rest of the day, laughing at jokes they read aloud from the back of the Daily Prophet, avoiding their pureblood-loving family.

James-

When can I take you

up on that offer of

coming over? My

family's awful.

A/N: Sorry for the shortness, I had to bribe my sister to give me ten minutes of her computer time. Now to my reviewers:

not a journalist-just me: Bows Glad you like it!

Opal Eyes33: Yes, Lily/James stories are cool, aren't they? I'm so pleased you like mine!

Wildfire2345: I feel sorry for poor Remus, too. He's not a monster like some ignorant people (cough Umbridge cough) think he is, he's just not the luckiest guy alive. You think I'm an awesome writer? Blushes

LandUnderWave: The award for most reviews goes to you! Yay! Thanks for reading (and reviewing) this story!
