Chapter three: Arguments, tears and tantrums.
The next day Severus, Rabastan, and Avery awoke to the sound of laughter in the bath room. The three went to find out what was the cause of the laughter. When they went in the saw Sirius and Regulus changing one another's hair different colours. Sirius had plum colour in his hair Regulus had ice pink. The two were roaring with laughter. "Okay! Okay! Don't kill yourselves now!" an amused Rabastan said over their laughter. The group of Slytherins got dressed in casuals as it was Saturday, and went down to breakfast. "SIRIUS POLLUX BLACK!!!" roars two extremely familiar voices. He turned to see his best friends coming at him Peter looking terrified, James looking cross, and of the entire group the one who looked worst Remus with a face which showed that he was beside himself. The entire hall had turned to look at the two groups. Rabastan, Severus, Regulus, and Avery had backed up behind Sirius who looked both fearful and shocked. "HOW DARE YOU BREAK YOUR PROMISE TO US!" yelled James. "YOU PROMISED! YOU WOULD BE THERE AND YOU WEREN'T! WE WERE WORRIED!!!" James howled pointing accusingly at Sirius. "You said you would see us in the common room! You promised!" squealed Peter. "AND NOW WE FIND YOU HERE WITH THAT GROUP OF SLYTHERIN SCUM!!!" Remus was yelling louder than James and Peter combined and looked so angry that the two backed off and let him deal Sirius the most unpleasantness of a life time. "I'm sorry I got-" "SORRY!?! SORRY?!? DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANT TO HEAR!!!" Remus's voice had gone shrill and he looked angrier than before. "WE WERE WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU! AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS "I'M SORRY?"!!!" "Moony! I-" "I DON'T WANT EXCUCES I WANT AN EXPLANATION, AND IF YOU CANNOT GIVE ME THAT THEN DO NOT SAY A WORD!!!" he shouts before turning on his heel and storming off. Sirius stared after him. "Sirius why'd you do it?" Asked Peter. "I got transferred to Slytherin no arguing against it and I couldn't tell you guys because I was restricted to the common room." He pleaded with Peter. Every one in the hall was staring with their mouths hanging open at them. "Don't worry mate," James said consolingly patting Sirius on the shoulder. "Moony'll come around you'll see." With that he and Peter went off to find Remus. Suddenly Sirius lost all happiness and started to walk out of the hall. "Siri! Where are you going?" asked Regulus. "Out." Was the simple reply before Sirius left the hall. The teachers face's said it all they felt sorry for Sirius, suddenly alone, friendless, and clearly not fitting in.

Later that night Sirius had still not turned up although his Slytherin friends were looking for him with the teachers aid. The teachers found him out side with Remus, Peter, and James by the lake. "So you see I couldn't contact you and I was not allowed by my step mum to leave Slytherin common room alone and I needed to be alone if I was going to explain to you guys, and Narcissa was told to make sure I do not talk to you guys." "Wow Sirius…that's harsh even for your parents…not even my mom and dad are that awful to me and I was grounded all summer to study!" Peter said looking terrified at the thought. "Ya, Padfoot mate don't worry we'll sort some thing out! Promise, we'll make your parents sorry they every moved you to that horrid place!" Declared James. Remus and Peter nodded in fierce agreement.
"To tell you the truth it isn't really that bad."
"WHAT!?!"
"I know I know it's weird but the Slytherins aren't all that bad they are just not understood they're labelled just because Salazar Slytherin was evil, and in being accused of being evil…I guess they became evil." Sirius said thoughtfully. "Well…it sounds like the werewolf prejudice…" Remus told them quietly. "Ya, I guess it does…" James agreed. "So…how are we going to balance our friendship out with our rivalry?" asked Peter curiously. "I…haven't thought that far yet." James said lamely. "I have, if we can meet here every night then whats to worry about other than some one finding us and if we are found we just run for it you know to the whomping willow." Sirius told them simply. "And in the day time we just pretend to hate each other?" Asked Remus. "Yup! Clever eh?" Sirius asked proudly. "Okay then we meet here every night we can. Padfoot here is the map and the mirror, use them if you need us in your common room you can just direct us to you." James instructed handing Sirius the parchment and mirror. "Okay well I better go every one is still looking for me." Sirius told the group. "Okay Padfoot, Bye old boy!" the three boys chorus at him. "Bye guys." With that he left.
"Sirius! There you are we were so worried!!!" Shrieks Regulus embracing his brother tightly. "Reggie I need to breath!!" Sirius gasps out. "Where were you?" demanded Narcissa. "You were nowhere in side or out!" "I dearest Narcissa, was down by the lake thinking." Replied a sleepy Sirius. Narcissa pursed her lips in a very McGonagall style. "Go to bed Sirius tomorrow is going to be a busy day." She said huffily. Without another word Sirius went up the stairs to the boys dormitory with his room mates close at hand. "So what were you really doing by the lake Sirius?" asked Avery once the door was closed. "Why what ever do you mean Avery?" Sirius asked trying and failing to look innocent. "You were with the marauders again weren't you?" Severus pushed. Sirius's face fell slightly. "Since when did you know?" he demands crossly. "Since it is the only reason you would lie to Cissa." Rabastan simply. "Okay so I was with them big deal…you won't tell will you?" Sirius looked beseechingly at his room mates. "Course not!" Avery exclaimed. "Ya it would be a treachery!" Severus told him. Sirius received nods of secrecy from Regulus and Rabastan. "Siri mum won't be pleased if she finds out, and you know how much I hate to see you hurt." Regulus told him earnestly. Sirius breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright then thanks you guys." He said with a yawn. "Any time" they chorused. The five Slytherins clambered into their beds extinguished their lights and fell into sleep.
