this is a little rant for the mirror prompt, not a best work, but whatever :)
of broomsticks and identical brothers
Sirius wants a toy broomstick for Christmas.
His mother, Walburga, is at St. Mungo's, so she is not able to scold him.
Orion says being about two years old is too young for a broomstick, but Sirius doesn't care. He wants one.
Uncle Alphard says he'll get the toy broomstick for him in two years, but Sirius is impatient. He wants a Zonko's broomstick, and he wants it now.
Cousin Bellatrix tells him that his mother and father are giving him something better. A brother.
Sirius stops at this. A brother. He's heard this word before, he knows kids with brothers – they look exactly the same, or somewhat. Like a mirror.
"Like a mirror?" he asks, and Bella looks at him weird.
Andromeda speaks up. "Yes, Sirius." She smiles at him, "Like me and Bella, we look similar, don't we?" Sirius nods. "You'll have a brother who looks like you too. Identical." "Mirror," Sirius says stubbournly, and pounds the glass table.
He is put in his room.
On Christmas Eve, his father floos Sirius to St. Mungo's, where they are to see the new baby. They walk into the room, Sirius bouncing about in his new boots from Uncle Cygnus and Aunt Druella. "Hello, Walburga," Orion says stiffly, looking solemn.
"Hello, Orion," Walburga replies, equally as stiffly as Sirius jumps about, screaming "Where's the baby? Where's my present? Where's my baby?"
Walburga curls her tongue back from another lashing, but thinks better of it, and hands a tiny white mound of blankets to Orion, who bends down to show Sirius. The two-year-old leans forward eagerly to look, then recoils. "He needs a bit of colour," Sirius explains to Orion's questioningly look, and within seconds, Regulus's hair has turned pink. "Now he looks much more like me, just like a mirror." Sirius sits back, satisfied, ready to receive the loud screaming and shouting of his mother. "It's the best Christmas present ever," he tells his dad, just before escaping the room from his mother.
hehe, review:)
