Chapter 18-

Montague had settled down in the Blacks home, with Sirius nowhere to be found, Montague got to meet some of the other black family, including Bellatrix and got to talk to Regulus alone.

"This is enjoyable!" Montague said to Regulus. "Bellatrix seems very poised!" Regulus laughed.

"Don't even question her!" Regulus said to Montague. "One of the most skilled witches I know!" Montague stopped after hearing that.

"She is talented?" Montague asked. "Very capable of teaching?" Regulus nodded.

"Well then Reg," Montague said to Regulus. "I'll be back, I want to know your family anyway!"

Regulus went into his room, as Montague went back into the kitchen at the Black's home, Sirius was still not coming out for any family time, Montague could tell Sirius was against his family.

Montague walked into the kitchen, Montague realized that Regulus must have told his family about Montague already.

"Welcome!" Regulus's mother said to Montague. "Glad to meet you!" Montague sat down to learn Regulus's parents, Walburga, and Orion. They put much pride in being Slytherin's, something Montague never experienced.

As Montague walked out, he spotted Sirius walking through the halls, very quiet, wearing his Gryffindor scarf. Sirius avoided eye contact with Montague, as Bellatrix appeared in the hallway, blocking Montague's view of Sirius.

"Regulus told me you want to learn from me?" Bellatrix saw Montague nod. "What would you like to learn first?" Montague was silent after hearing that.

"We have Occulmency!" Bellatrix said proud. "That's always helpful!"

"Is that the way to penetrate your mind?" Montague asked Bellatrix, Montague could tell Bellatrix really respected Montague already.

"Yes!" Bellatrix screamed. "Now listen, this is how you work on it!" Montague started to listen, as slowly Bellatrix taught Montague the basics of mind reading.
